14
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: lot for choosing this show because I realize there are

15
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: a gazillion of them you could be listening to instead.

16
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: So the fact that you subscribe to this one and

17
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: you don't miss it, it means a ton to us.

18
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 2: Thank you. There are a lot of people that work

19
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: very hard to make it happen, and there are a

20
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: lot of great people who sponsor our show too and

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: make it complimentary to you, like US medical plan dot com.

22
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: My friend John Roulman at US medical Plan dot com

23
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: is doing something with health insurance that there aren't many

24
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: people in the country doing, and that is plugging you

25
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: in into about one hundred or so different private health

26
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: insurance companies across the country to give you the very

27
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: very best rates. Now, listen, I understand that right now,

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: particularly this time of year, is when people are doing

29
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: the open enrollment thing and they are very very confused.

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: If you are a supplemental health insurance buyer with Medicare,

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: there are a lot of choices out there. Are you

32
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: getting the best rates? Hard to know? John knows, though,

33
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: You've just got to give him a couple of minutes

34
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: on the phone. It will take a couple of minutes,

35
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: but you will save money. And you know how I

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: know because my own parents have saved hundreds of dollars

37
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: a month with John Rouman at US Medical plan dot com. Now,

38
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: if you are a small business owner and you'd like

39
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: to buy insurance for your employees, but you want to

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: save a buck or two, John knows exactly the best

41
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: rates on group insurance. You buy your own insurance for

42
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: your family in addition to employees, same deal. John's got

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: the best rates.

44
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 5: Do you know.

45
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,639
Speaker 2: I have a friend who just got Cobra through John

46
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: and saved about six hundred dollars a month versus what

47
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: she was being offered through her former employer, John knows

48
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: how to save you money and keep you covered in

49
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: health insurance, but you've got to make the call eight

50
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: seven seven four one zero forty three twenty one. Eight

51
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: seven seven four one zero forty three twenty one or

52
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: US Medical Plan dot com. How do you know, folks.

00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: It is a great, great kickoff to the week, isn't it.

55
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: I'm feeling good. I don't know about you. It's Christmas,

56
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: which puts us all in a good mood anyway. But

57
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: the news is so good too. It's a great way

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: to head into the holiday season. Our telephone number is

59
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,079

Speaker 2: in here. You can also find us online if you'd like.

61
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: By the way, I just lighten it up on X

62
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: over the weekend, mind in my own business, just having

63
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: you know. Friday night I was I never do this fast, Eddy,

64
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: But Friday night I decided I was going to go

65
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 2: down the rabbit hole of X for a little while.

66
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: I spent some time there and I was responding to

67
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 2: a great deal that was also the kick off the

68
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: amfest out there and I saw a lot of chirping,

69
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: and I had a free Friday night where nothing was

70
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: going on. So I was just sitting back in the

71
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: easy chair and I thought, okay, i'll play on this

72
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: thing from me. I never do this, literally, I used

73
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: to do it all the time. I don't do it anymore.

74
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 2: But I thought, it's Friday night, I wasn't completely mentally taxed,

75
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 2: and I thought, all right, I'll do this for a

76
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: little bit. Let's see what happens. And of course it

77
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: was a predictable cesspool. So I shut it down Friday

78
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: and I didn't look at it for most of the

79
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: rest of the weekend. But if you want to follow

80
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: along on social media, you can go to x you

81
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,680

00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: even TikTok, and of course the podcast. I do want

83
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: to say right off the top that while we are

84
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: entering a holiday week, it's not like we stopped producing.

85
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: We will have new products, new shows, new interviews for

86
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: you throughout the course of the holiday season. Now tomorrow

87
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: will be our final live show of twenty twenty five,

88
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: and we'll return with you on January fifth for live shows. Now,

89
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: there will be just so you know we're not vanishing entirely.

90
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: We'll have great live shows. Bob Friends will be here

91
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: filling in for a few days. We have some great

92
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: new material that you haven't seen that will be airing

00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: on the Salem News Channel and across the Salem Radio

94
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: Network as well as at the podcast. So I just

95
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: want you to know, if you're still working, we've still

96
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: got great stuff for you out there, or if you're

97
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: just trying to kill some time and get away from

00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: the in laws. We've also got some quality, great stuff,

99
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: and we're revisiting some of your favorite stuff from the

100
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks as well. So is that about right, Eddie.

101
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: We've got everybody pretty well taken care of for the holiday,

102
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: because I understand there are some of you out there

103
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,640

121
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 7: It is not you.

122
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: We're not just going into repeat ville, all right. A

123
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: lot of other shows would just hit the you know,

124
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: just hit the brakes and they go into repeat, or

125
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: maybe not even publish anything at all. Not our and

126
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: I'll have the Harump Society. I will continue to publish

127
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: that even through the break because I can do that

128
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: from the house, and that didn't bother me as much.

129
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: So I enjoy doing that. So we've got you covered

130
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,520

Speaker 2: Me lording over you on your big screen as you're

136
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,159

Speaker 7: Christmas Morning the Christigal Show.

141
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: So anyway you can find everything you need is my point.

142
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: Throughout the holiday season at christigaul dot com, we will

143
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: never be far. Well, where do you want to start?

144
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: There was a lot I you know, I think it's

145
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: probably important that I get to the Georgia story because

146
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: I didn't on Friday, and I really regret it because

147
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 2: it's to me, it's it's maybe one of, if not

148
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 2: the biggest the election of twenty twenty. Yes, let's hit

149
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: rewind and talk about it for a minute. We now

150
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: know we learned from Cash Betel's FBI and the documents

151
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: were turned over to Congress that the raid on mar

152
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: A Lago was not legal. There was no justification for it.

153
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: The FBI told the Department of Justice, do not raid

154
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: mar A Lago. Why was mar A Lago raided? All

155
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: under the auspices of ultimately stopping Donald Trump from winning

156
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: the election. They were going by hooker by crook to

157
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: figure out how to stop Donald Trump. That didn't work,

158
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: so next step was to drag him through multiple courts

159
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: of law with law fair. That was all part and

160
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: parcel of the Jack Smith stuff. So was the raid

161
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: on mar A Lago, same deal. They tried to kill him.

162
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: And before that, of course, they just tried to outright

163
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: stop him by stealing the election of twenty twenty, and

164
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: they did so to great effect. Of course, that turned

165
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: into j six and that turned into insurrection, and you

166
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: know all the rest. But one of the more outrageous

167
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: things about of the many things that were so outrageous

168
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: about election twenty twenty, Pennsylvania was won by Joe Biden

169
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: by eighty thousand votes in an unconstitutional way that should

170
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: never have been certified in Pennsylvania. We know that there

171
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: were more examples, but just off the top of my head,

172
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania and Georgia was another. Most of us couldn't believe

173
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: that Joe Biden. Ultimately what was the final count? They

174
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: said he won Georgia by eight thousand votes. I think

175
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: it was Eddie like eight thousand Biden supposedly, I think

176
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: it was.

177
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 7: I think it was eleven something, right, eleven thousand.

178
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: It was minimal, like tiny, stupid number, And it was really,

179
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: first of all, on its face, nobody really believed that

180
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: Georgia had gone to Joe Biden. It was just almost

181
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 2: impossible to believe. And then, of course you know that

182
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: Georgia was probably the one that's where the fraud of

183
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: Fulton County has been involved, and now she's caught up

184
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: in all kinds of nonsense her self spending tax payer money.

185
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: But there were, you know, everybody from Jenna Ellis to

186
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 2: Sidney Powell. I don't know how many people there had

187
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 2: to been, what twenty people I think roped up in

188
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: litigation down there that President Trump ultimately ended up pardoning.

189
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: But Fanny Willis down there in Georgia tried to bankrupt

190
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: a bunch of people over the Trump campaign, specifically picking

191
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,959
Speaker 2: up the phone and calling the Secretary of State down

192
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: there and saying, I need you to go figure this out.

193
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 2: I need you. He famously said, go find these votes. Well,

194
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: earlier in the month, Fulton County admitted, I'm reading this

195
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: directly from the Federalists, so when you're and I saw

196
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: this a lot because I posted on X the reason

197
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: I bring X up is, I said, boy, it's been

198
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: quite a week. We found out that Bill Clinton was

199
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: Epstein's number one pal. We found out that mar A

200
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: Lago was illegally rated. We found out that Trump did

201
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: in fact win Georgia, and that it was a total fraud,

202
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: That election was a total fraud. And I saw a

203
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 2: leftist say, you don't have proof for any of that.

204
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: I don't know what universe they live in, but it

205
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: is very, very true that we do live in an

206
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: alternate universe from those on the committed left. They think

207
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: that everything I just said is a complete lie and

208
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: made up to soothe and save ourselves and tell ourselves

209
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: a historical fiction that is not true. We just need

210
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: to feel better about election twenty twenty. And as such,

211
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: everything I just said is a lie. If I read

212
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: that once, I read it a dozen times or more

213
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: this weekend left to saying that what I posted was

214
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: a lie, not true.

215
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 6: And that's why it's important that we stick together and

216
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 6: we vote in these next elections, Chris, because it is true.

217
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 6: The problem is will there be accountability should we lose?

218
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 7: So you're right on it's.

219
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is and I just want you to know

220
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: it's very important that I know this audience is already

221
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: smart and well informed and ready and engaged, so I

222
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: don't it's probably not necessary to tell you this, but

223
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: there are people happening by the show who don't maybe

224
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: know these facts, or haven't really heard this story, or

225
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: maybe you haven't and you should know it. So when

226
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: you hear Trump or anybody else say election twenty twenty

227
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: was stolen or it was fraudulent, there are many examples

228
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: of it, of course, but here's yet another documented case.

229
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: The Fulton County officials in charge of the vote count

230
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: admitted admitted that approximately three hundred and fifteen thousand early

231
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: votes from that election were illegally soied, but were nonetheless

232
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: still included in the final results of that election. Three

233
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen thousand. Now, what did we just say,

234
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: the Husk, the pretend president. What did we say he

235
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: won Georgia by eight to eleven thousand. Let's call it

236
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 2: eleven thousand, Fine, let's call it twenty. I don't care.

237
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 2: Let's give it. Let's be generous and say the Husk

238
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: won it by twenty thousand in Georgia. I just told you.

239
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 2: Fulton County has admitted three hundred and fifteen thousand early

240
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: votes were illegally certified, and it was admitted. Folks, this

241
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: is not us just guessing. This is not us speculating.

242
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: The admission came during a December ninth hearing before the

243
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: Georgia State Election Board stemming from a challenge filed by

244
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: David Cross, a local election integrity activist. Cross filed a

245
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: challenge back in March of twenty twenty two and alleged

246
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: that Fulton County violated Georgia statutes in handling advanced votes

247
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: out of November twenty twenty, and Fulton County admitted it,

248
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: counting hundreds of thousands of votes even though polling workers

249
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 2: failed to sign off on the voting tabulation tapes critical

250
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: to the certification process. The woman who admitted it and

251
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: burn Ball, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration

252
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 2: and Elections, told officials during the hearing that while she

253
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: has not seen the tapes herself quote ready, the county

254
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: does not dispute the tapes were not signed. It was

255
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: a violation of the rule, direct quote from the woman

256
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: representing the county. So when somebody tells you that's not true,

257
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: that didn't happen, you mega people, you just lied to you. No,

258
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: you point them directly to the Fulton County Board of

259
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: Registration and Elections and burn ball their attorney who said

260
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: it's true those votes should not have been certified. It

261
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: was a violation. Now do you suppose that three hundred

262
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: and fifteen thousand votes a couple of them might have

263
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: been for Donald Trump? More in a minute. Now, Listen,

264
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: I don't think you should go barreling into your Christmas

265
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: holiday ready for a fight with that favorite liberal relative.

266
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,479
Speaker 2: I'm just saying you should be armed and ready if necessary.

267
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: And I was thinking to myself, good grief, the amount

268
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: of things that have been verified and certified. And I

269
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: know a lot of you say, yeah, but when's the

270
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: punishment coming? Well, look, you and I share that concern,

271
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: and I will continue. We will continue to page Pam

272
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: Bondy and wait to see what comes out of DOJ.

273
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: I continue to assert that there is nobody that concerns

274
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: himself more about these things than the President of the

275
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: United States, and I continue to believe that if he

276
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: ultimately feels there was You know, when these stories are floated,

277
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: it's often because internally there are people that want it

278
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: to be, rather than whether it's true or not. But

279
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 2: you know, there were people floating for a minute or two.

280
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: Remember I broke it to you a couple of weeks ago,

281
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: that Tree, I don't think this would be an improvement

282
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: that Trey GOUDI, who now went over to Fox News.

283
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: Trey Goudy's being talked to is a possible replacement for Bondy,

284
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: and I think fast Eddie. We both agreed that that

285
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: wouldn't necessarily be a better outcome.

286
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 6: No, No, I just keep Pam Bondy. If Trey Gowdy's

287
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 6: going to be her replacement, then let's just wait till

288
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 6: she gets someone better.

289
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: So I just I'm of the belief, and maybe you

290
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: think it's naive of me, but could there be anybody

291
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: more concerned about getting justice done here than Donald Trump?

292
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: Given that he was nearly murdered a couple of times

293
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: and had the first election I guess what would been

294
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: his second election stolen from him and his home raided?

295
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean, is there somebody that could care more about

296
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: seeing justice here than Donald Trump?

297
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 7: No, of course not.

298
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 2: It's just I mean, that's my default position. Every time

299
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: somebody gets mad and says, when's something gonna be done.

300
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: I say, I trust that Trump wants the same thing

301
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: you do, because after he was the direct victim of

302
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: it all. Now, if Donald Trump doesn't get justice here,

303
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: I don't know what to tell you, folks. I like

304
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: to talk to me in three more years and if

305
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: at the conclusion of Trump's third year or fourth year,

306
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: nothing's happened, Okay, I mean, I guess I'll commiserate with

307
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: you and say we have no justice system anymore. I'm

308
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: just I'm not there yet, even after a year. I'm

309
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: not there yet. I know a lot of us would

310
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 2: like to see guys in leg irons today or after

311
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: month number one of Trump in the White House. But

312
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: it's I can't explain why. I don't know. We know

313
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: that Dan Bongino has left. Can't tell you why. I

314
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe he will explain. Some have said it's

315
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: nothing more than it just took a toll on his

316
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: family being away in DC. They live in Florida, and

317
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: he just he couldn't do it anymore. And maybe it's

318
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: just that simple. Maybe there was consternation. I don't know.

319
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: I don't know that I'll ever know. I don't know

320
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: that he'd tell me I could reach out to him.

321
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: I don't suspect he will probably tell me if I've hey, Dan,

322
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 2: really what let me in on the inside. So I

323
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe I'll dial them up after the holidays.

324
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: But here's what we know. When you speak to your

325
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: favorite left wing relative and they say, you maga people,

326
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: you live in a fiction. It's all lies. What are

327
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: you talking about? The home raid, the mar A Lago raid.

328
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: Just so we're all very clear, here was not and

329
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: you need to know this in case you don't, if

330
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: you're happening by and you're just hearing this. The raid

331
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: on Donald Trump's home was not. Something Biden's FBI agreed

332
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: with and told Merrick Garland and Biden's Justice Department, do

333
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: not do it. You do not have probable cause to

334
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: go raiding Donald Trump's home. And they did it anyway.

335
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: Now that is a documented fact. Ed am I exaggerating

336
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: in any way? That has now been reported as documented

337
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: and true, and those papers have been handed over to Congress.

338
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: Joe Biden's FBI told Joe Biden's doj do not raid

339
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: mar A Lago. You do not have the required metrics

340
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 2: we need to go storming into his home. And they

341
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: did it anyway. Is that an exaggeration in.

342
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 7: Any way that I can tell, No, of course not.

343
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: Is it an exaggeration in any way that Joe Biden's

344
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: Department of Justice went rounding up United States senator's phone

345
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 2: records and told the cell phone company in one instance,

346
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: at least in Ted Cruz case, you don't tell them

347
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 2: that we got Piza warranst to those around on their

348
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 2: phone records, or we're coming after you. Am I making

349
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: that story up? Is that true or false?

350
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 6: Nope, they even took that extra step of trying to

351
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 6: hide it. None of that's made up.

352
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: So we know the home raid was illegal, We know

353
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: the seizing of senator's phone records was illegal. We know

354
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: that Georgia was now officially and it was by the

355
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: admission of the attorney representing the county who certified the votes. Yes,

356
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: we improperly certified three hundred and fifteen thousand votes in

357
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: twenty twenty that should not have been certified, and Joe

358
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: Biden won Georgia by eleven thousand votes. These are things

359
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: that we just discovered in the last couple of weeks.

360
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: And there's a laundry list more I know and those

361
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: of you who hear me saying, they say, yes, stick

362
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: all this is old news. We know all this well,

363
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: we suspected all of this. We never had documented, verifiable

364
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: evidence before us now submitted before Congress. So pass it

365
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: along to your favorite left wing loved one. This Christmas,

366
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: I do want to say again a huge thank you.

367
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: I was looking at the totals over the weekend and

368
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: they are continuing to roll in. You guys. Christmas time

369
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: is three days away, and I have to say thank you,

370
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you. I got some hand written thank you's.

371
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: Eleven year old Natalie wrote, I was so happy I

372
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: got a gift through angel Tree. The first gift I

373
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: got from my dad was a notebook I write in

374
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: every day, and he also gave some Nao polish that

375
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 2: I still use. I feel a real connection with my

376
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: dad through angel Tree. Seven year old Isaac wrote a

377
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 2: note saying I like the Kid's Bible I got and

378
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 2: the blue Monster truck my dad gave me last Christmas.

379
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: I just love that he got me a gift. I

380
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: didn't know he was going to give me one. Those

381
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: are the kinds of stories. Your Angeltree donation of thirty

382
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: dollars makes happen all over the country, thousands of kids.

383
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm happy to report this audience's generosity so far, and

384
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: we're not done. We've still got more time. If you

385
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: are hearing me talk about this and you say, oh,

386
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: I forgot I wanted to do this. Look, we wanted

387
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: to help twenty six hundred kids. Do you know that

388
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 2: we're there over thirty one hundred kids right now heading

389
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: into Christmas and they can still turn right around the

390
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 2: day with your thirty dollars gift and get that out

391
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: the door to a deserving kid. We've helped thirty one

392
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: hundred kids. Somebody asked me, you know, my colleagues are

393
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: campaigning here too, and listeners across our network have been

394
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: giving to various shows. And someone asked me, do you

395
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: think you'll have a grand total when all this is

396
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: said and done? And I'm happy to report with your efforts,

397
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,479
Speaker 2: combined with all my colleagues efforts and listeners from all

398
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: over the country, I think we're easily going to reach

399
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 2: well over half a million dollars raised. And I don't

400
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: know what the math breaks down on that fast Eddie,

401
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: but we're talking about thousands and thousands and thousands of

402
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: kids all over the country whose parents are incarcerated, and

403
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: they're going to have a Christmas because of you. So

404
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: if you still would like to give, listen to this

405
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 2: Christmas morning, what this means the Angel Tree volunteers who

406
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 2: deliver these presents. Listen to one of the volunteers and

407
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 2: what they say.

408
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 8: These kids, they're special and they didn't ask for this

409
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 8: to happen to them. We've become quite a little family,

410
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 8: we really have. And she looked at that tag and

411
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 8: she said, my daddy gave me a gift and he

412
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 8: loves me. It just means everything.

413
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: It's Christmas, Yeah, it is. It's Christmas. And look, you

414
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: know a lot of these folks, you know, some of

415
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 2: them prisoners. Maybe maybe that's their life. Others maybe they

416
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: really got it wrong. And you extend them a little

417
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: grace and they'll change and their lives will change. And

418
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 2: a lot of them do you know that. I mean,

419
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: I don't know about you. I attend worship with former

420
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: prisoners who are now committed believers, baptized believers in the

421
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: faith and great family people. So your gift could change

422
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: everything if you'll join me and you want to give

423
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: that thirty dollars gift or more. Go to christigall dot com.

428
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: just didn't want to go any further without saying thank

429
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: you for another big week and another big weekend of

430
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: giving and we're not done yet, so still opportunity to

431
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 2: help out and thanks so much. Yeah, you know what

432
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 2: before I move off of this because it's Ashley Dugan

433
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: or Hannah Dugan, excuse me? Is her name? Milwaukee Judge

434
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: Hannah Dugan found guilty of obstruction Friday. Heading into the weekend,

435
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: I could do probably an entire show on just what

436
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: we have learned about the left and the crimes that

437
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 2: they have committed. A jury in Milwaukee last week proved

438
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: that it takes more than a robe to act like

439
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: a judge. Late last week, Judge Hannah Dugan, we talked

440
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: about her found guilty of the most serious count brought

441
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 2: against her in a case that captivated many in the nation.

442
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: Dugan famously told a fellow judge to wear her robe

443
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 2: in the hallway to confront federal officers seeking to arrest

444
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 2: a suspect. A jury found Dugan guilty of obstruction in

445
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: helping an illegal alien evade arrest by ice. She was

446
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: acquitted of the misdemeanor charge of concealing the illegal alien.

447
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 2: She was lionized by the left, including attorneys and politicians,

448
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 2: for her effort to facilitate the escape of the illegal alien.

449
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 2: She had a prominent legal team, including former Solicitor General

450
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: Paul Clement and former US Attorney Steve Biskupik. Retired Supreme

451
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: Court Justice Janine Giski agreed to be the trustee over

452
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 2: the large defense fund. It was discussed this week how

453
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: Dugan's colleague delivered a heavy blow to her defense, and

454
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: testifying how Dugan pulled her into the dispute with agents,

455
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 2: and how she acted improperly in the matter, said specifically,

456
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 2: Dugan told her to keep her robe on and that

457
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: she was reluctant to do so. I didn't want to

458
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: walk on the hallway with my robe on. Dugan, however,

459
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: allegedly wanted the agents to see them in their robes

460
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: as a sign of authority. She said that the agent

461
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 2: remained respectful, but that Dugan was getting upset in the confrontation.

462
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: Her irritation seemed to progress to anger. I thought she

463
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 2: could have been a little more diplomatic. So this just

464
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 2: proves beyond a shadow of a doubt what these left

465
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: wingers think once they donned that robe. They've weaponized the

466
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: black robe. It's proof in this story of Judge Hannah Dugan,

467
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 2: and rightly she has been found guilty. How about the

468
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: Epstein story? Now? I posted this on x It doesn't

469
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 2: matter what is released on the Epstein files. It's never

470
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: going to be enough. It will never be satisfying to

471
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 2: those who want to make this a story and continue

472
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: to make this story from the New York Times of

473
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: all places, Bill Clinton, a main character in the Epstein drop,

474
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: just can't escape the scandal. The photos, Now, I will

475
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: tell you if there are similar photos of Donald Trump,

476
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 2: I'd love to see them, but I don't think they exist.

477
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 2: Do you think we're going to see photos of Donald

478
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: Trump hanging out in the grotto inside the house of

479
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein, bobbing around with Glaine Maxwell and one of

480
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: the unnamed victims, fast Eddie. Do you suppose I mean, look,

481
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: I can't swear on a stack of b I know

482
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 2: for sure we won't, but I have a funny feeling

483
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: or not, I just don't. I don't think Trump's that lowbrow,

484
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 2: to be perfectly honest with you, Trump is so wealthy

485
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 2: and so powerful. If Trump is really that big a pervert,

486
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: does he have to go down to Jeffrey Epstein's house

487
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: to bob around in a pool like I did? On

488
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 2: its face, it doesn't make sense to me. I don't

489
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 2: think now. Bill Clinton's a straight up hick. He's a hillbilly.

490
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 2: Like the Bidens. They don't have anything themselves, so they're

491
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: happy to take part in the grid. And I've got

492
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 2: some more thoughts, specifically on who Jeffrey Epstein really is.

493
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: And while the story is about sex and sex abuse

494
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: to some degree, I don't think it's the main story.

495
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 2: The main story is about money and money laundering, and

496
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 2: of course he had a lot of it. Bubba had none,

497
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 2: the Clintons had none, Neither did the Bidens. They're all grifters,

498
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 2: every last one of them. They're hicck hillbilly nobody's and

499
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: so they were leeching on to wealthy people all the time.

500
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: Trump was already wealthy ed. You know, that's the difference. Fundamentally,

501
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 2: that's just a difference. These people are not the same

502
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,719
Speaker 2: class of people.

503
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 7: Makes sense, Yes, No, makes total sense.

504
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 6: From where I sit right now, I can't see Trump

505
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 6: being like Bill Clinton the way he behaves.

506
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 7: It's just not It doesn't seem that way to me.

507
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: The photo shows him sitting on a private plane, smiling,

508
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: slightly red faced, with a young blonde draped across his

509
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: arm in a chair. Another image, he's relaxing shirtless in

510
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: a hot tub with his arms behind his head, the

511
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: face of the person beside him redacted in black. There

512
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: he is grinning next to Mick Jagger and a button

513
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 2: down shirt and blazer. And again, swimming in a luxury

514
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: marble tiled indoor pool alongside gallne Maxwell and smiling broadly

515
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 2: in a silky patterned shirt, standing shoulder to shoulder with

516
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: mister Epstein. The photos released without context by Trump's Justice Department.

517
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: Of course, it's Trump's Justice department now, But the man

518
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 2: in them is unmistakable Bill Clinton, the former two term president,

519
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: globe trotting philanthropist and one of the most recognizable symbols

520
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party. Over the quarter century since he

521
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 2: left the White House, he has painstakingly word to overcome

522
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: the personal scandals that marred his presidency. At seventy nine,

523
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: mister Clinton has been enjoying the lifestyle of an elder statesman,

524
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: but the Justice Department's avalanche like release on Friday of

525
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 2: more than thirteen thousand files served as a powerful reminder

526
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: of mister Clinton's long scrutinized ties to the disgraced financier.

527
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 2: I don't envy Tim Kaine as goofy and as frankly

528
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: concerning as Tim Kaine is. Do you want the clean

529
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: up job on this one, fast, Eddie? Do you want

530
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: to be the Democrat that marches out on the Sunday

531
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 2: shows to try to explain Bill Clinton?

532
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 7: I don't.

533
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 6: I was just really hoping it was Chris Coons. You know,

534
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 6: that would have been more fun. I know, but you know,

535
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 6: give me number sixty five. Here's Tim Kaine. He drew

536
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 6: the short straw.

537
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: He's got to go explain what Bubba was doing in

538
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,640
Speaker 2: the hot of with the girls.

539
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 9: Let me asked you about what we have seen released

540
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 9: in the Epstein files so far. Former President Bill Clinton

541
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 9: is featured prominently in the batch, as I was just

542
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 9: discussing now. To be very clear, NBC News does not

543
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 9: know the full context behind these images, and simply being

544
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 9: in the Epstein files doesn't imply any criminal wrongdoing. But

545
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 9: does Clinton owe the public and explanation about his relationship

546
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 9: with Jeffrey Epstein.

547
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 10: You know, I actually haven't tracked what President Clinton has said,

548
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 10: and if they're on answered questions, you know, he should

549
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 10: address him, and I suspect he will.

550
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 7: But let's just make sure.

551
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 10: That we meet the promise that President Trump made as

552
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 10: a candidate that all these files will will be released.

553
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure he'll address it. Well, of course they

554
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: put out some stupid statement. But here again, just so

555
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: you know, even though this is all obvious, and you know,

556
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: one of the grandfathers of the Democrat Party is thickest

557
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 2: thieves with Jeffrey Epstein, of course it will never be enough.

558
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 2: There's always going to be more that we must see.

559
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 2: And of course that's what they keep saying, there's more

560
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 2: to be seen, There's more to be seen. All right, fine,

561
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: we'll wait for a minute. The guys are doing their best.

562
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: Laurence O'Donnell in there. Hey, good morning, Merry Christmas, beautiful

563
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: folsome California this morning. Glad you're here, Thanks a lot

564
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: for joining us. The boys in the control room dealing

565
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 2: with some jackhammering. Stop the hammering. We have a full

566
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: blown construction crew in our control room. I mean, complete

567
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: with jackhammers and everything. I don't know. You know what, boy,

568
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: why don't we do this? These guys don't get nearly

569
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: the love that they should pop up. Pauli Demilio, g Love,

570
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: Gee Young, our technical director, as well as Bobby Bass,

571
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: our audio cowboy. These guys sit in this control room

572
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 2: and do the hard work of making the show look

573
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: good on the Salem News channel and make it audible

574
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: on the Salem Radio Network all across the country. But

575
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: what you can't hear, and what you don't know is

576
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: they're in the middle of a construction war zone right now. Boys,

577
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: can you bring up the camera in there, Gina, I

578
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: don't know, ge Love, can people actually if you turn

579
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: on your headsets, if people can actually hear the jackhammering

580
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: going on inside your room, are we right out of that?

581
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: That's over the headset. That right, that's over your headsets.

582
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: That's how loud it is.

583
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 7: H Therefore, God bless you guys.

584
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can hear that, but it's yeah,

585
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: we hear it, loud and clear. Your desk is shaking.

586
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 2: That's because it's literally on the other side of the

587
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: wall from you. Yes, yes, So just out of curiosity,

588
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: do you think there was a meeting and they said,

589
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 2: when should we do the heaviest construction. Let's do it

590
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 2: during the Stagall show? Do you think that was the meeting?

591
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: I can neither confirm nor deny anyth the above information

592
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 2: presented here toofore, but I'll leave it that because there's

593
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: a window of time where you guys are not working

594
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 2: in the control room right during the day. And I

595
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: understand construction, you know, you're on timeline and all that stuff,

596
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: but this is a three hour window. We produced a

597
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 2: live show and you poor guys are sitting there trying

598
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: to run the thing from the epicenter, the brain of

599
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 2: the show, and you got a guy with a jackhammer

600
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 2: three feet from your head. Pretty much, I just want

601
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: you all to know, this is the kind of thing

602
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: you don't hear and you don't see. But these men

603
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: they should get battle pay fast, Eddie for what they're

604
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: going through this morning. That's all. I couldn't do the

605
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: show in there. I know that much now. Before when

606
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: I've been in the DC studio, What's happened is there

607
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: have been a floor below the jackhammering, and that was

608
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: underneath and it drove me crazy. This is literally right

609
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: next to your head.

610
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 7: So much that it's shaking the board, it's shaking the

611
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 7: radio board.

612
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I love you, guys, I love you. I

613
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 2: just want you to know these people under tour, they

614
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: are soldiering on to make the show happen for you today.

615
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: God bless you, guys, Mary Chris, I am not insensitive

616
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: to it. I couldn't do it. I'll just be perfectly

617
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: honest with you. I would have pulled a Laurence o'donald

618
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: by now. I would have just freaked out. I couldn't

619
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: concentrate fast Eddie. I can't concentrate in that stuff. I

620
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: don't know how they're doing it. God bless them. I

621
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: just wanted you guys to know that's what they're going

622
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: through this one.

623
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 6: Well, talk about the hammering, Chris. We already went through

624
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 6: drilling at least three or four times this year doing

625
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 6: the show live. So in the studio in the closed

626
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 6: confined space of the studio.

627
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: They got to make room for Scott Jennings. This is

628
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: apparently all the construction I'm told is for Scott Jennings

629
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: green room, every bit of it. That's what I'm told.

630
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: I can't confirm that, but that's what I've been told.

631
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: All right, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on them not

632
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: releasing everything because Trump's in them, give me number sixty

633
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: seven here, PAULI.

634
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 9: You were referencing the fifteen files released Friday. They disappeared

635
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 9: from DJ's website yesterday, including this photo of what looks

636
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,719
Speaker 9: like a desk with a drawer open containing photos of

637
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 9: Donald Trump. Just to be very clear, to put a

638
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 9: fine point on it, why were these files taken down?

639
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 9: You're saying it was it the direction of a judge.

640
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 11: You can see in that photo there's photographs of women,

641
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 11: and so we learned after releasing that photograph that there

642
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 11: were concerns about those women and the fact that we

643
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 11: had put that photo up, so we pulled that photo down.

644
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 11: It has nothing to do with President Trump.

645
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 2: There are dozens of photos of President.

646
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 11: Trump already released to the public, seeing him with mister Epstein.

647
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 11: He has said that in the nineties and early two thousands,

648
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 11: he socialized with him. So the absurdity of us pulling

649
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 11: down a photo, a single photo, because President Trump was

650
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 11: in it is laughable. And the fact that everybody's trying

651
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 11: to act like that's the case is a reflection of

652
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 11: their true motivation.

653
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 5: But the reality is, yeah, I.

654
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: Just here again. I don't know. I can't guarantee you this.

655
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: I just have a very funny feeling. You're never going

656
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: to see a photo of Donald Trump shirt listen to

657
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: pool Ed. That's just a hunch. I just don't think

658
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: you're going to see it like you saw with Bubba.

659
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: You think that's a safe bet.

660
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 12: Yeah.

661
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 7: No, It's kind of like remember Bernie Sanders.

662
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 6: He's like, yeah, google Bernie Sanders' legs, Right, You're never

663
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 6: gonna see you ever see Bernie Sanders' legs.

664
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 7: I don't think I'm gonna see Donald Trump in a swimsuit.

665
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: I just don't. There's just a certain class of people.

666
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 2: I don't know how to explain it to you. There's

667
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 2: a certain class of people, and there's a certain group

668
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: of people. Now maybe you know, yeah, well you see

669
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: a picture of a younger Trump. I don't know with

670
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 2: his arm around a lady's waist or whatever. Okay, fine,

671
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: And I know that's the irony is everybody says guys

672
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 2: like Trump aren't classy, that their class list, that they're whatever.

673
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, I don't know that. I remember seeing many

674
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: pictures of him not in the necktie, first of all,

675
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: but Donald Trump being dressed. Here's what I know. He's

676
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 2: careful enough and successful enough that even if he's bobbing

677
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: around in a pool, he's not gonna let guys.

678
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 7: Click click click.

679
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,240
Speaker 2: Click, click click click. He wouldn't do it. I wouldn't

680
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 2: do it. I'm nobody, and I wouldn't. You don't want

681
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: to see this thing undressed, do you. I can't imagine

682
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 2: a scenario, and I don't know. I'm trying to imagine

683
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: a billionaire friend of mine owning a house in an

684
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: island and says, hey, come on down and bob around

685
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 2: in my pool with the girls, and I'll snap some photos.

686
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 13: Eddie.

687
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 2: There's not a scenario in my mind. I'd allow that

688
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 2: to happen, if for no other reason, because no one,

689
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: including myself, likes to look at this undressed ever, in

690
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: any state of it. It's just implausible to me. That

691
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: you would ever catch Donald Trump in that same setting.

692
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 2: I have some more thoughts. Hang on Merry Christmas. Hey,

693
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: everybody's trying to save money where they can. If you

694
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: buy your own health insurance or if you're on Obamacare,

695
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 2: you know how expensive those premiums are getting. It's why

696
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 2: I've sent my own parents, my personal friends, and my

697
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: colleagues to John Rulman and his team at US medical

698
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 2: Plan dot Com. John works with one hundred different private

699
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 2: health insurance companies across the country to find you the

700
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: very best coverage at the very best rates. My own

701
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 2: parents saved four hundred dollars a month each on their

702
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: Medicare supplemental health insurance premiums reaching out to John Ruhlman

703
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 2: and US medical Plan dot Com. Friend in between jobs,

704
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: she reached out to US Medical Plan to replace her

705
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: Cobra insurance rates, saved six hundred dollars a month. A

706
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 2: personal friend who buys his own family's health insurance out

707
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: of pocket, I send him to John and now he's

708
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: saving one thousand dollars a month. Listen, folks, this is

709
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 2: one of the easiest ways to save appreciable money every

710
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 2: month without sacrificing coverage. But you're not going to know

711
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: unless you reach out right now and have the conversation

712
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: eight seven seven four to one zero forty three to

713
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 2: twenty one or log onto us Medical plan dot com. Yes,

714
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: I know it's the holidays. I know this is not

715
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,479
Speaker 2: a time of year most people think about losing weight.

716
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: But you know, our executive producer Fast Eddie is doing it.

717
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: He's using PhD Weight Loss right now as a weight

718
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: loss tool through the holiday season. It can be done.

719
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: And you know how, I know in just two weeks time.

720
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 2: Right now, as we speak, he's on the program, and

721
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 2: the first two weeks of the program he's already dropped

722
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 2: eight pounds. Now, you know, I told you the reason

723
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 2: he's doing it, because I told you I lost forty

724
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: pounds in under four months earlier this year. Eddie said,

725
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 2: I want to try it. I said, it's almost the holidays.

726
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 2: He said, I don't care. I want to try it.

727
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: And he's lost eight pounds in two weeks time. He

728
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: works with his counselor the same as I work with

729
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: my counselor. I've kept the weight off. I'm going to

730
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: probably go for another twenty in the new year. But

731
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 2: the point is right now I've hit idle on purpose.

732
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 2: I'm maintaining my weight loss because my counselor at PhD

733
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: Weight Loss has taught me exactly what I need to

734
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 2: do to maintain, maintain, and then when I want to

735
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,439
Speaker 2: re engage and kick it into full gear and start

736
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 2: losing more in the new year, I can. The best

737
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: part about PhD Weight Loss this time of year is

738
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 2: they're very well aware this is a hard time to

739
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 2: get people motivated to lose weight. But if you find

740
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: yourself motivated like fast Eddie is, they're going to give

741
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: you a heck of a deal right now. They're making

742
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: it even easier to get started because they're going to

743
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 2: waive your consultation fee entirely. They're going to add two

744
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 2: weeks to your program totally free, and they're going to

745
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: cover all costs of food. This will be now everybody's

746
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 2: going to start trying to lose weight in January. Everybody

747
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 2: will call and you're not going to get a deal

748
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: like this. Then you start this program, now you're going

749
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 2: to get a huge savings. And doctor Ashley Lucas is

750
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 2: going to throw in her brand new book, which is

751
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: also a great read. She is maha as they get.

00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: never tried. Done Some sledding done some tubing. Skiing just

773
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,879

807
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: I move off of one more thing, I've got to

808
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 2: play for you the clip just in case you think

809
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 2: I made a I don't know. I can imagine your

810
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 2: favorite Liberal. I was previously talking about the Fulton County

811
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 2: fraud at the certification of three hundred and fifteen thousand

812
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 2: votes that shouldn't have been certified, and I read for

813
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 2: you the story that said the attorney representing the county

814
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 2: that certified it said, yes, you're right, we shouldn't have

815
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: certified those votes. Maybe you still don't trust me, or

816
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: maybe you're still going to have a liberal that says,

817
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's nonsense, or you'll show them a

818
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: story and they'll say nah. Here is the woman, the attorney,

819
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 2: and Brumbaugh is her name, b r u Mbaugh. Again,

820
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: this is for your favorite liberal who still refuses to

821
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: believe that the election twenty twenty was rigged and stolen.

822
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 2: And Brombaugh the board attorney, the election board attorney there

823
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 2: in Fulton County where the fraud of Fulton County, Remember Fanny.

824
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 2: She is now herself being punished for fraudulent behavior as

825
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 2: attorney general and spending a bunch of taxpayer money. The

826
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 2: case against Donald Trump has already been thrown out down there,

827
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 2: so everything they did to try to punish Trump has

828
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: already been tossed. The people actually going after Trump are

829
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 2: being punished. And the whole reason Trump was looking into

830
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: the Georgia election to begin with has now It's now

831
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 2: been confirmed he was right to push. They illegally certified

832
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand votes. Here's the attorney. Give me number

833
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: seventy one. Here, paul A. Just for those of you

834
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 2: who haven't heard it yet, here we go.

835
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 14: I am, I've not seen the tapes myself, but we

836
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 14: do not dispute that the tapes were not signed.

837
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 7: It was a violation of the rule.

838
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 14: We since twenty twenty again we have new leadership and

839
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 14: a new building and a new board, a new standard

840
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 14: operating procedures, and since then the training has been enhanced.

841
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 14: The pull watchers are trained specifically, they've got to sign

842
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 14: the tapes in the morning, and they've got to sign

843
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 14: the tapes when they're run at the end of the day.

844
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 14: When the tapes come back to the hub for you know,

845
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 14: with all the documentation they are check and if somebody.

846
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 2: Forgot to do, that's good enough. Whatever the point is.

847
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: That's the admission. You heard it off the top. You're right,

848
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 2: you got us. We did it wrong. But we've got

849
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: new people in place, and here's how we're going to

850
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 2: do it going forward. So once again, just for those

851
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 2: of you shorthand here, the home rate of mar Lago

852
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 2: of Trump's was illegal, was not certified by the FBI,

853
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: was not signed off on by the FBI. They did

854
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 2: not they couldn't do it. The surveillance of American citizens

855
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 2: and Trump's first campaign illegal, those fis of warrants security illegally,

856
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 2: they spied on sitting members of Congress and their cell

857
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: phones illegally. The election in Georgia certified illegally, the FBI

858
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,280
Speaker 2: embedded during January sixth, inn that crowd that's been verified.

859
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 2: These are all stories that we were once told our hoaxes,

860
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 2: and they're now all independently verified as so. And I

861
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 2: just I wanted to stress that to you before we

862
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 2: went any further, because there are still people on the

863
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: left who just they fundamentally believe that we're lying or

864
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 2: we're living in some kind of fiction, that these things

865
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 2: did not happen, and of course they did. Let me

866
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 2: give you a few moves Trump's been making here in

867
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 2: the last seventy two hours or so that I think

868
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: are of interest. The course, the Coastguard has now seized

869
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 2: a second oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. Does

870
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: this give you pause fast, Eddie or do you like

871
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: it now? It depends on who you're listening to. Rand

872
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 2: Paul is out there saying that Trump is banging the

873
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: drawer door excuse me banging the drums of war. In fact,

874
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 2: Tucker said that he had a high placed source last

875
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: week that Trump's big address on Wednesday was going to

876
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: be Trump announcing he's going to war with Venezuela. Of

877
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 2: course that's not what happened. And then I actually saw

878
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 2: people there say, well, once Trump heard that people found

879
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 2: out he was going to announce war with Venice Wuhela,

880
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 2: he changed his mind and decided to talk about the

881
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 2: economy instead. I mean, that's how desperate for conspiracy some

882
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 2: people are. Trump changed his mind quickly and they decided

883
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 2: to talk about the economy instead of war with Venezuela.

884
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 2: But anyway, second oil tanker seized, What do you make

885
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: of it? How do you react? Does that concern you?

886
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 6: I'm fine until somebody gets hurt, Like I don't want

887
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 6: any of our troops to get hurt, Okay, So up

888
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 6: until then, I am perfectly okay.

889
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 7: With all of this.

890
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 2: I mean were the tanker has been under US sanctioned

891
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 2: since last year for transporting Iranian oil, which federal authorities

892
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: say is sold to finance terrorism. When US forces approached

893
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 2: what's known as the Bella I that's the oil tanker's

894
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: name late Saturday, it was not flying a valid national flag,

895
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: making it a stateless vessel liable to be boarded at

896
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: sea under international law. American authorities obtained a seizure warrant

897
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,800
Speaker 2: from a federal magistrate judge, which would allow them to

898
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 2: take possession of the ship, said two officials. The warrant

899
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 2: had been sought because of the Bela one's previous involvement

900
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: in the Iranian oil trade, not because of its links

901
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: to Venezuela, but the ship did not submit to being

902
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 2: boarded and continued sailing, one of the officials said. A

903
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 2: second official referred to the situation as an active pursuit.

904
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 2: On Sunday morning, the vessel began broadcasting distress signals to

905
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: nearby ships. According to radio messages reviewed by The Times

906
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 2: and posted online by a maritime blogger, the messages show

907
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: the vessel traveling northeast into the Atlantic Ocean, more than

908
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,399
Speaker 2: three hundred miles away from Antigua and Barbuda, and by

909
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 2: Sunday evening, Bella One had sent seventy five alerts. The

910
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 2: Coast Guard successfully boarded another tanker early Saturday, and the

911
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: United States has taken possession of a third tanker on

912
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: December tenth, that's now to port in Texas. These actions

913
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,760
Speaker 2: represent a significant escalation of mister Trump's pressure campaign against

914
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 2: Maduro of Venezuela. They come as mister Maduro has ordered

915
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 2: Venezuelan navy assets to accompany some oil tankers leaving the country,

916
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: raising the possibility of an armed confrontation at sea. The

917
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 2: Bela one has not yet reached Venezuelan waters and did

918
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 2: not have such an escort, according to one of the officials.

919
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 2: As for Trump, he's accusing Madua of flooding the United

920
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 2: States with fentanyl and stealing oil from American companies without

921
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: providing evidence. Of course, that's always the New York Times

922
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: default position. Maduro is not guilty. It is the President

923
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 2: of the United States who's guilty. And not providing evidence

924
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:40,000
Speaker 2: for Maduro's corruption always the default position. The third world

925
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: dictator has not been proven guilt. It has not been

926
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 2: proven he's guilty, but Donald Trump is inherently guilty. That's

927
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 2: always the default position for the New York Times. Two

928
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: people inside in Venezuela's oil industry said the cargo belonged

929
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 2: to an oil trader based in China, so this has

930
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 2: people like Ran Paul convinced that it's just any day

931
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: now before we launch a full scale war with Venezuela.

932
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: Are you there, fast, Eddy, Are you concerned about war

933
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 2: with Venezuela.

934
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 7: I don't think that. I don't think that they'd try it.

935
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: I just exactly zero chance Maduro and Venezuela fire off

936
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: so much as a bottle rocket. Zero chance because because

937
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 2: they know they're cooked. If they do, we are stopping

938
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 2: their commerce. They are putting economic squeezes, and Donald Trump

939
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: has done this time and time again without harming a

940
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,959
Speaker 2: head of an American Service personnel member. We lost three

941
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: in Syria. God bless them. And you know Trump, Trump

942
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 2: is trying to extract. Trump didn't deploy them there. They've

943
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 2: been there for some time. Trump is quickly withdrawing, drawing down,

944
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 2: and the way he's squeezing dictators, thugs, and despots is

945
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 2: overnight aerial assaults, bombing their nuclear capabilities into oblivion. He's

946
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 2: putting fiscal squeezes on hostile regimes, partnering. He's making soft

947
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 2: alliances in the Middle East with places like Israel the

948
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 2: Abraham Accords. He is making financial packs that make it

949
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 2: impossible to ignore rather participate in them, and instead and

950
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 2: everybody get wealthy. And he's squeezing Maduro economically. He's taking

951
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 2: Maduro's oil, he's taking their financial supply. He's trying to

952
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 2: make it basically so miserable in Venezuela, no income coming

953
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 2: into the country that ultimately the people revolt. And he's

954
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 2: doing it without a single shot being fired. More than

955
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 2: a minute. Coming up in just a little bit, we're

956
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 2: going to talk with Dave McCormick, Senator from Pennsylvania, curious

957
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 2: about the filibuster. Do you think do you have any

958
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 2: faith that in twenty twenty six, fast Eddie, we're going

959
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 2: to see the filibuster eliminated.

960
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 7: I don't no, I don't you do not.

961
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 2: Mike Lee said something interesting in an interview about this,

962
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 2: this business of it taking sixty votes to get something

963
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 2: through the Senate because of something called culture. The sixty

964
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 2: vote threshold is to end debate. All right, listen to

965
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 2: Mike Lee's discussion of the filibuster as we talk about

966
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 2: things getting hung up in the Senate after they leave

967
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: the House sixty nine.

968
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 3: Friendly reminder, it doesn't take sixty votes to pass legislation

969
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 3: of the Senate. It takes a simple majority. It takes

970
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 3: sixty votes to force debate to come to a close,

971
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 3: but there are other ways of getting to a final vote.

972
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 3: A final vote casts at a simple majority in the Senate

973
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 3: that don't involve cloture. All you have to do is

974
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 3: keep debating until nobody shows up the debate, or until

975
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 3: everybody has exhausted their right to speak. They can only

976
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 3: speak twice on the same discrete legislative proposal on the

977
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 3: Senate floor during the same legislative day. The same legislative

978
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 3: day can be kept open for days, weeks, even months

979
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 3: if necessarian. It has in the past. There are other

980
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 3: ways of getting there. We can't continue to see the

981
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 3: sixty vote culture standard as synonymous with what's required to

982
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 3: pass a bill in the Senate. That's not how it works,

983
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 3: that's not how it was designed. We could do better.

984
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 2: Okay, So there's Mike Lee not even suggesting blowing up

985
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 2: the filipbuster. He says the other ways around this. I

986
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 2: guess the question is he's kind of calling out thun here.

987
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,959
Speaker 2: Are you willing to get creative in twenty twenty six?

988
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 2: How hard, how aggressively are you going to work a

989
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: few stories? President Trump securing agreements with major drug makers

990
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 2: to lower Medicaid prescription costs for Americans. Trump announcing Friday

991
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 2: his administration has reached new agreements with some of the

992
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 2: world's largest drug manufacturers aimed at lowering prescription costs for Americans.

993
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,959
Speaker 2: Speaking from the Roosevelt Room, Trump revealed nine additional drug

994
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 2: manufacturers have agreed to the administration's most Favored Nation Pricing initiative,

995
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 2: bringing the total to fourteen of the seventeen leading company

996
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,439
Speaker 2: in the world. The agreement reached with nine companies also

997
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 2: encompasses one hundred and fifty billion dollars in combined new

998
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:13,239
Speaker 2: investment commitments in domestic manufacturing. That's huge, making our drugs here,

999
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 2: not requiring drugs to have to come from China, so

1000
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 2: that's a huge victory. Trump is vowing to return Americans

1001
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 2: to the Moon by twenty twenty eight. This was another

1002
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 2: thing heading into the weekend. Under Trump's order, the National

1003
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 2: Space Council will be eliminated and its authority will be

1004
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 2: transferred to the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The

1005
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: National Space Council created an eighty nine to advise presidents

1006
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 2: on issues of space policy and exploration. The President detailed

1007
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 2: several sweeping goals for America's space program, including sending Americans

1008
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 2: back to the Moon within three years. The United States

1009
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 2: has made one point three billion dollars so far from

1010
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: the sale of Trump cards, gold immigration cards. Trump held

1011
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: up a gold card, right, and the Roosevelt Room said

1012
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 2: the money is going to go toward reducing the debt.

1013
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, the largest peacetime workforce reduction of

1014
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 2: government on record happened because of DOGE that reported heading

1015
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 2: into the weekend. And well, one thing is plainly obvious

1016
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 2: if you've been watching the Trump administration over the last

1017
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, and that is when it comes to

1018
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 2: their message about affordability and the economy. Over and over,

1019
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 2: they continue to make Pennsylvania one of their focuses. In

1020
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 2: one of their stops, it was the first stop for

1021
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 2: President Trump talking about affordability. JD. Vance then made a

1022
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 2: stop to talk about affordability. And it's been intriguing to

1023
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 2: me that Pennsylvania. I talked with the National Republican Committee

1024
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 2: about what the focus of Pennsylvania was all about. I

1025
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: know Senator Dave McCormick is appreciative of the focus on

1026
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania since that's the state he represents in the well,

1027
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:55,959
Speaker 2: he represents the Great Commonwealth in the United States Senate.

1028
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 2: He joins us again this morning, and Senator Mary Christmas,

1029
00:53:58,800 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 2: good to be with you.

1030
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 5: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.

1031
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 2: I wonder if the rest of the Senate is jealous

1032
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,360
Speaker 2: of the attention that he's paying to Pennsylvania.

1033
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 15: Well, listen, I'm grateful. It's I think representative of two things.

1034
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 15: Number One, Pennsylvania, as you know, the Keystone State. Very

1035
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 15: much as Pennsylvania goes the election went in twenty twenty four,

1036
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,399
Speaker 15: that was one of seven swing states, the only place

1037
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 15: we won to send a seat, and President Trump won

1038
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 15: there decisively, and I think the message for working families

1039
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 15: really resonated in Pennsylvania when he won, and so he

1040
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 15: and I talked regularly about this. The working families of

1041
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 15: Pennsylvania need to understand what a terrible hole the Biden

1042
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 15: administration dug. The fact that the Trump administration's policies, with

1043
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 15: the support of the Senate and myself and others, have

1044
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,399
Speaker 15: made big strides forward, and there's a lot of work

1045
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,400
Speaker 15: to do in terms of doubling down on the presidence

1046
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 15: policies and letting them really have the benefit that they

1047
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 15: will have.

1048
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 5: In the coming year twenty twenty six.

1049
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 15: I'm very bullish about twenty twenty six, and I think

1050
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,839
Speaker 15: the President wanted to take that message on the road,

1051
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 15: so I flew up to Scranton with him on Air

1052
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 15: Force one and Marine one. We talked about it. He

1053
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 15: gave a great speech in Scranton, and I think people

1054
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 15: see that they are making progress. I mean, I'll just

1055
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 15: get one statistic. Under the Biden administration, inflation was compounded

1056
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 15: twenty two nine percent in one year, five percent on average.

1057
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 15: Under the Trump administration, it's two point seven percent this year.

1058
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,360
Speaker 15: But the most important thing is that during the Biden administration,

1059
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:45,240
Speaker 15: real wages lagged inflation, so people had less and less.

1060
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:45,720
Speaker 5: Money in their pocket.

1061
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 15: Under the Trump administration, under the last year, real wages

1062
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 15: have grown by four percent, so much more than inflation,

1063
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 15: so more money in the pocket. And that's going to

1064
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 15: really start to show up in twenty twenty six when

1065
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,479
Speaker 15: the Working Family's Tax Cut Act goes into a fact

1066
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 15: and a working family that makes fifty two thousand dollars

1067
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 15: a year is going to get two or three thousand

1068
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,919
Speaker 15: more dollars in their pocket, which makes will make life

1069
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 15: a lot easier.

1070
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 2: We talked with your colleague, Senator Eric Schmidt recently. He

1071
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 2: was talking about being in the skiff watching the footage

1072
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 2: of these drug boat strikes, and he really took great

1073
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 2: offense and umbridge at the attacks on Admiral Bradley's integrity, suggesting,

1074
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 2: you know, there was law breaking or some sort of

1075
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,280
Speaker 2: war crime or what he said, no evidence of that whatsoever.

1076
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,479
Speaker 2: I know, you guys just passed the Defense Authorization Act.

1077
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,080
Speaker 2: I know this is a subject particularly close to you

1078
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 2: as a veteran. Can you speak to these things a

1079
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 2: little bit?

1080
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 15: Yeah, listen, this is you know I campaigned on this point.

1081
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 15: So to President Trump, this is a war against America.

1082
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 15: We lost one hundred thousand people last year at de

1083
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 15: fentanyl on Opioi's four thousand Pennsylvanians. These narco terrorists, these cartels.

1084
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 15: These are heavily armed cartels with military capability in many cases.

1085
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 15: And I said during the campaign three things. You got

1086
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 15: to shut the border. Two, you got to designate these

1087
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 15: cartels as the terrorists they are. And three you've got

1088
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 15: to use our military very strategically to take out that capability.

1089
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 15: That's exactly what the Presence is doing. I just attended

1090
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 15: classified briefing, which gave me a lot of confidence that

1091
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 15: the intel they have is very precise in terms of

1092
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 15: who they're targeting. And I had a very significant conversation

1093
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 15: with the Chairman that Joint Chiefs about this very fact.

1094
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 15: I have a lot of confidence that the military is

1095
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 15: performing their role excellently. And I think anybody sitting senators,

1096
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 15: sitting congressmen as they did in this video that are

1097
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 15: essentially encouraging showing seeds of doubt in the minds of

1098
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 15: our military around whether they're acting lawfully is completely irresponsible.

1099
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 2: The speech the President gave to the nation historic. I

1100
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 2: joked that it is historic in that I've never ever

1101
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 2: seen a speech of President Trump's under twenty minutes ever,

1102
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 2: and it was. It was nineteen minutes on the button,

1103
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 2: so that onto itself was pretty rare. But boy, he

1104
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 2: laid out a list of accomplishments, and he did it

1105
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 2: in a very forceful way. I think there's just been

1106
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 2: a lot of down talking, frankly, of the Trump agenda,

1107
00:58:20,240 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 2: and sadly I won't. I mean, the mainstream media is

1108
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 2: one thing, you know, we don't expect the New York

1109
00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: Times to cheer Donald Trump, but I think there's been

1110
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 2: a lot of kind of gloom and doom and dower,

1111
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 2: kind of down talking. I'm not I'm not. I don't

1112
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 2: mean to be a homer, but I have to confess

1113
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 2: I don't see or share this pessimism that President Trump

1114
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 2: is not moving fast enough. Congress, on the other hand,

1115
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 2: now you're but one member, may I ask you. I

1116
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 2: know the President has said he'd love that filibuster to

1117
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 2: be nuked so that you guys could start cranking out

1118
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 2: legislation fast to his desk. Where do you come down

1119
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: on that? The Chairman of the Republican Party joined me

1120
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 2: and said he would love to see you do it.

1121
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 2: I know majority of the throon is not nuts about it.

1122
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 2: How about you?

1123
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1124
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 15: Well, first, on the first point, let me just say

1125
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 15: what President Trump has done, what's been accomplished in his

1126
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 15: first year.

1127
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 5: I think we shouldn't go past that too quickly.

1128
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 15: The Working Families Tax Got Act was extraordinary, extraordinary in

1129
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 15: the amount of legislative progress that was made on so

1130
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 15: many things, funding the military, rebuilding, the military border patrol,

1131
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 15: a school choice with a bill that I co sponsored,

1132
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 15: the Education Choice Act, no tax on tips, no tax

1133
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 15: on overtime, accelerated appreciation.

1134
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 5: I mean, this is extraordinary.

1135
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 15: So when the President says he's had the most consequential

1136
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 15: year in modern history, I think by any factual measure measure,

1137
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 15: that is true.

1138
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 5: So that's the first point. Second point, the numbers aren't lying.

1139
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 15: By any economic standard, were significantly better off this year

1140
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 15: than last year. But the thing that I want to

1141
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 15: say is we got winded our back that's going to

1142
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 15: manifest itself in twenty twenty six. You've got the deregulation agenda,

1143
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 15: the energy dominance agenda, You've got the tax cuts going

1144
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 15: into effect, the accelerate appreciation, you have trillions of dollars

1145
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 15: of foreign investment that the President has negotiated. All of

1146
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 15: those I think lay the groundwork for a very very

1147
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 15: strong economy that's going to help working families.

1148
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 5: Listen, on the filibuster, it is tempting.

1149
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 15: I campaigned very specifically on this, not to eliminate the filibuster.

1150
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 5: The idea of the filibuster being gone.

1151
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 15: When you have Joe Biden and the Senate Democrats, we

1152
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 15: would have four new senators from Puerto Rico.

1153
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 5: And from Washington, D C.

1154
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 15: We would have a Supreme Court that would be would

1155
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 15: be stacked with Democrats, so consequential changes that would have been

1156
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 15: very difficult for us. But I got to tell you

1157
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 15: now that I'm here for a year, it's tempting. I mean,

1158
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 15: during that government shutdown, when you see the obstruction of

1159
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 15: the Democrats, it's tempting.

1160
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 2: So I'm do you have a reaction, Senator, I'm starting

1161
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 2: to interrupt you, But do you have any doubt that

1162
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 2: your Democrat colleagues, were they back in control, would do it?

1163
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 15: I have I'm mixed on that. I suspect they probably would.

1164
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 15: I think the President's probably right on that. So that

1165
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 15: that's a it's a it's a real it's a real tension.

1166
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 15: In my mind, I think if the Democrats seek to

1167
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 15: shut down the government again in January over healthcare something else,

1168
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 15: I think the pressure will grow. But I've told the

1169
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 15: President this, I've I've told others. H I've been someone

1170
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 15: who's been been very vocal on this during the campaign.

1171
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 15: But as I see the obstruction, I'm I'm you know,

1172
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 15: I'm I'm weighing it.

1173
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 5: That's That's the best I could.

1174
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 2: Say, got it? And so with this, you know, really,

1175
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people kind of consider this

1176
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 2: now a mid term We're now in midterm election season

1177
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 2: already before November. Not for you, but certainly all the

1178
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 2: House and some of the Senate. Do you feel like

1179
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 2: anything substantive will be accomplished coming out of the House

1180
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 2: and Senate and sent to the President's desk before November.

1181
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1182
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:58,920
Speaker 15: There's one thing that I that I I think has

1183
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 15: real possibility and I think would be hugely consequential for

1184
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 15: the country and for Pennsylvania. Permitting reform. Listen, this is

1185
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 15: something that we should be able to find bipartisan support for.

1186
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 15: The permitting process takes decades for nuclear power, years for

1187
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 15: natural gas, for pipelines, for solar. This is a place

1188
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 15: where if we could get permitting reform, it could unlock

1189
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 15: more than a trillion dollars of capital, which would be further.

1190
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 5: Fuel for our economy.

1191
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 15: I think the last election proved that the views on energy,

1192
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 15: even in the Democratic Party, have to change in favor

1193
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 15: of unlocking fossil fuels. So I think there's a possibility

1194
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 15: for a real coalition here that gets permitting reform done.

1195
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 15: I'd like nothing better than to see that signed and

1196
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 15: go across the President's desk before the midterms. And I'm

1197
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 15: trying to play a leadership role in that, along with

1198
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 15: many others here in the Senate and the House as well.

1199
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 15: So fingers crossed on that one, but that I think

1200
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 15: there's a real possibility there in. The question will be

1201
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 15: whether the Democrats are willing to give the President a

1202
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 15: win on something that is absolutely, indisputably great for the

1203
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 15: American people and great for Pennsylvania.

1204
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 2: And I know, just a minute ago this is a

1205
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 2: big question with a minute Togo, but Jack Smith, and

1206
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 2: now what we've learned about the raid on Mara a

1207
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 2: Lago and the FBI telling Merrick Garland's doj don't do it,

1208
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 2: you don't have the standing to do it, and they

1209
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 2: did it anyway, Do you think prosecutions should come here?

1210
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Will we see prosecutions in this coming year?

1211
01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 15: I think we might. I mean, you know, I think

1212
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:34,440
Speaker 15: we all knew about it. You and I have spoken

1213
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 15: about it. We saw the politicians using the justice system

1214
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 15: for political purposes under the Bide administration. But what's becoming

1215
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 15: obvious it was far more extreme, far worse than we

1216
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 15: would have ever imagined. And I think it's an absolute disgrace,

1217
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 15: and I applaud the efforts of the House and I

1218
01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 15: think we'll see more on the Senate to show the

1219
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 15: American people what happened here and to hold those who

1220
01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 15: were responsible for it accountable.

1221
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 5: And I be very much in favor of that. I

1222
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 5: think it's a real disgrace.

1223
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 7: Senator.

1224
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 2: We are always grateful for your time, your friendship throughout

1225
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 2: the year, and we look forward to talking to you

1226
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. Merry Christmas to you.

1227
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 15: Merry Christmas to you, Chris, thanks so much, have a

1228
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 15: great time with your family.

1229
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,919
Speaker 2: Thank you, senator. And incidentally, I have a survey here

1230
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 2: this morning, just so you know what I was talking

1231
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 2: about is not made up. Insider Advantage National Survey eight

1232
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 2: hundred likely voters now Likely always more important than just

1233
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 2: knuckle dragging quote people. Whenever you see a survey of

1234
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 2: people or Americans, that means people that may be paying

1235
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 2: no attention whatsoever. We're talking about likely voters here, that

1236
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 2: is people that are engaged in paying attention, like you

1237
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 2: and me. Of those, according to the new Insider Advantage

1238
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 2: poll just released, fifty percent approval for Donald Trump, forty

1239
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 2: one percent disapproval, nine percent undecided. So again, if there's

1240
01:04:57,000 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 2: evidence out there that Donald it's always been a fifty

1241
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 2: to fifty split on Trump. But it's not as though Trump,

1242
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 2: according to most polls of likely voters, is losing any

1243
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 2: backing at all. Christmas is coming, as you know, we're

1244
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 2: just a couple of days away, and some of the

1245
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,480
Speaker 2: thank yous from the kids that have been coming in

1246
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 2: because of your donations to Angel Tree, like seven year

1247
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 2: old Isaac, who says, I like the Kid's Bible and

1248
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 2: the blue Monster truck my dad got me last Christmas.

1249
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 2: I love that he got me a gift. I didn't

1250
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 2: know he was going to give me one. Isaac knows

1251
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: dad is away in prison. I don't know if you

1252
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 2: had a family member or a parent who was not

1253
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 2: with you on Christmas, or you ever wondered if your

1254
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 2: parent was thinking about you. That's no way to grow up.

1255
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 2: And you for a thirty dollars gift to the Angel

1256
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 2: Tree campaign, the prison Fellowship folks are going to make

1257
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 2: sure that that child gets a gift and a handwritten

1258
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 2: note from mom or dad as well as that Bible.

1259
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 2: So will you join me and other folks in this

1260
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 2: audience who have already well surpassed our goal. We have

Speaker 2: Text Chris to nine eight seven eight, or angeltree dot

1264
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 2: org slash Chris alive. Look at Nashville, Tennessee this morning

1265
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 2: listening on the Salem Radio Network to Jeff Foxworthy. If

1266
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 2: you listen on great radio stations all over the country,

1267
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 2: little twelve Redneck Days of Christmas and beautiful Nashville, Tennessee,

1268
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 2: where I'm told they're doing a big like a New

1269
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 2: Year's Eve broadcast on CBS from Nashville instead of New York.

1270
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 2: That's kind of an interesting programming decision. No longer is

1271
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 2: New York the epicenter of the world, past Eddie. They're

1272
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 2: doing a at least on CBS New Year's Eve from

1273
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 2: Nashville show.

1274
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 6: Okay, no, I mean hey, as of January first, New

1275
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 6: York is going to be Communists. That's going to be

1276
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,320
Speaker 6: the People's Republic of New York.

1277
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 7: So I get it.

1278
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. And by the way, you people, yes, soak it

1279
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 2: up while you can. All right, our telephone numbers eight

1280
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 2: five five Stigaul if you want to get in here

1281
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 2: today listen. The Department of Justice has released that new

1282
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 2: batch of Epstein files, thousands of pages and flight logs

1283
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 2: and photos and names that of course are going to

1284
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 2: get all kinds of attention, and the Internet predictably lit

1285
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 2: up about it and x over the weekend. But the

1286
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 2: release is pretty heavily redacted, as you know, and the

1287
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 2: financial records remain sealed, and already the loudest voices are

1288
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 2: trying to turn it into a Trump side show. But

1289
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 2: of course that misses the point. The Epstein scandal was

1290
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 2: never primarily about sex. The crimes were, of course real

1291
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 2: and horrific, but I want you to know they were

1292
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 2: not the real reason powerful institutions are panicked about this.

1293
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 2: The real issue about all of this is money. Because

1294
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein, while he was never convicted, he was a

1295
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 2: money launderer for the deep state and several other countries too.

1296
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm pretty convinced governments ran covert operations and they still do,

1297
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 2: and presidents globally authorize them, intelligence agencies execute them. But

1298
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 2: the money can't move openly. It flows through private intermediaries,

1299
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 2: cutouts who provide distance and deniability and violence. Thank Ukraine

1300
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 2: and the Bidens, for instance. Look, this is not a

1301
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 2: conspiracy theory. It's documented history, especially after the seventies and

1302
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 2: the Church Committee forced US intelligence agencies to move sensitive

1303
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:18,479
Speaker 2: financing outside formal channels. Epstein operated inside that world, not

1304
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,759
Speaker 2: as a policy maker, but as a financial intermediary whose

1305
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 2: records still raise more questions than answers. And that's where

1306
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 2: the real scandal begins, because it's not a tabloid horror

1307
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 2: show as much as it is the hidden financial trails

1308
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 2: that powerful people don't want exposed. His crimes against young

1309
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 2: girls are real and grotesque and unforgivable. I stipulate all that,

1310
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,799
Speaker 2: and those victims deserve full justice. Yes, But the enduring

1311
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 2: mystery and the reason his files stay buried, and my view,

1312
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 2: isn't primarily the sex. It's the money. There has never

1313
01:08:55,640 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 2: been a credible explanation ever that's emerged for how a

1314
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 2: college dropout and a brief private school teacher became a

1315
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:09,839
Speaker 2: billionaire managing opaque fortunes. What we do know is Epstein

1316
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 2: started at bear Stearns in the late seventies, handled international

1317
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 2: trades with the Bank of Credit and Commerce International BCCI,

1318
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,839
Speaker 2: and BCCI wasn't just a bank, it was a CIA

1319
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 2: linked conduit that disguised thirteen billion dollars in covert funds

1320
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 2: for US, British, Saudi and Israeli intelligence during the Afghan

1321
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:35,799
Speaker 2: War against the Soviets. Arms basically trafficked off the books,

1322
01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:39,879
Speaker 2: and Epstein didn't retire or move on when BCCI collapsed

1323
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 2: in scandal. He took the playbook, moving large sums across

1324
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 2: borders via shells and foundations and accounts. The dodged scrutiny,

1325
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:51,519
Speaker 2: and he leveraged all of the opacity that came with it.

1326
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:55,799
Speaker 2: Those who launder money don't need to know the full mission.

1327
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 2: They break up funds, they routed them through layers NGOs,

1328
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 2: the non governmental organizations the guys like Rubio have been tackling,

1329
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 2: and they reassemble them downstream for influence operations and containment.

1330
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 2: The sex ring, while horrific, was a tool for compromise,

1331
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,799
Speaker 2: making elites reliable nodes in the network, and that's why

1332
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 2: his twenty nineteen arrest triggered panic. The real threat wasn't

1333
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 2: victim testimony. It was the paper trail who paid him,

1334
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 2: which clients were fronts? Why see of the records so fast? Well,

1335
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 2: then he died in federal custody, and we all knew

1336
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 2: at the time that it didn't add up. Laundered money

1337
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 2: for intelligence operations is not ancient history. Billions in Ukraine

1338
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 2: vanished through similar NGO and contractor layers. Foreign democracy promotion

1339
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 2: funds get laundered and reassembled for leverage. This lack of

1340
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 2: transparency is not a bug, it's the feature. And so

1341
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 2: enter Donald Trump. Trump didn't build these systems. He wasn't

1342
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 2: part of them. He didn't need to be because he

1343
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 2: doesn't need that money or their networks. Remember the Bidens

1344
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 2: and the Clinton's and these hillbillies with Ukraine and the

1345
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: Clinton family foundation. Trump did the one thing that these

1346
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 2: people can't survive. He demanded receipts. Where did all this

1347
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 2: foreign aid go? That's why he was working the phones

1348
01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,759
Speaker 2: in his first term with Ukraine. Why no real audence

1349
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 2: for Ukraine's billions? Who profits from all these endless NGO

1350
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 2: slush funds. He challenged intelligence assessments. He promised transparency, actual exposure,

1351
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 2: not just theater and the reaction. Well, it's unprecedented. We

1352
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 2: had PHIZA surveillance disputes, FBI raids, impeachments over process. Trump

1353
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 2: got impeached over that phone call. You remember, coordinated law

1354
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 2: fair A sitting president treated like an enemy combatant institutions

1355
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 2: forgive policy fights, but they don't forgive threats to their

1356
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 2: hidden funding streams, the lifeblood of covert influence abroad and

1357
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 2: controlled at home. Epstein was just a useful node and

1358
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 2: expended when he became problematic. Trump, however, is an existential threat, uncompromised, unafraid,

1359
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 2: and ready to drain the swamp for real. That's why

1360
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 2: the system fought him like their survival depended on it.

1361
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,439
Speaker 2: Their survival did depend on it and still does. That's

1362
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 2: why so much of that still remain sealed or redacted.

1363
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 2: More in a minute. It's been my pleasure and honor

1364
01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 2: to talk about Bob Spinato at Williamsburg Dentel in Brumaal,

1365
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 2: just off the Blue Root, as my dentist and friend

1366
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 2: of over twelve years now, but now he has two

1367
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 2: brand new associates, his daughter Alexa and doctor Gettis. Tell

1368
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:37,839
Speaker 2: him about him, Bob.

1369
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's really a thrill for me to have both

1370
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,519
Speaker 16: the dentists, my daughter and doctor Jared Gunnis. One of

1371
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 16: the things that I love about them both is they

1372
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 16: when they don't have a patient in their chair, they're

1373
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 16: in my room watching what I do and trying to

1374
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 16: learn from me, and we hear enough about the new

1375
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 16: generation and that they think they know everything and they

1376
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 16: don't want to work. And I've got two dentists who

1377
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 16: are really, really want to learn and really really to

1378
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 16: work hard, and I enjoy learning from them. They've brought

1379
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 16: some new skills and some new technologies to our office

1380
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 16: that will be great benefits to our patients. And so,

1381
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,360
Speaker 16: if anything, I think that having them.

1382
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Both there is going to.

1383
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,600

1416
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:03,640

Speaker 2: for free all month long, straight to the new year,

1418
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,679
Speaker 2: giving it away. Yesterday, I wrote a special edition because

1419
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 2: I wanted to commit some time to this Epstein thing,

1420
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 2: as I knew it would devolve into nothing more than

1421
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:18,920
Speaker 2: just the story of Trump and trying to distract with

1422
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 2: the redactions, and they're trying to hide Trump, and I

1423
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 2: really I believe it's far more than just even sex.

1424
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 2: Regardless of Bill Clinton or anybody else. I think an

1425
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,519
Speaker 2: elaborate money laundering scheme was uncovered and I thought it

1426
01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 2: too important to get combined with the rest of the news. Today.

1427
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 2: I will have another edition of The Hrump Society coming

1428
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 2: out today and again Wednesday. Yes, I think I'll well,

1429
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,280
Speaker 2: I haven't really decided yet. I think I'll have a

1430
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve edition. I think I know this audience would

1431
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 2: forgive me if I didn't do it on Christmas Eve.

1432
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 2: I might not do a Christmas Eve edition, and I

1433
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 2: might just double up and do it on Black Friday

1434
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 2: or do they call it blackrid What do they call

1435
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 2: Friday after Christmas? Doesn't that a name path, Daddy.

1436
01:15:56,840 --> 01:15:59,360
Speaker 7: Remember it is that Canadian like Boxing Day?

1437
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 2: Or no, I'm wrong at any rate. I don't know.

1438
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 2: You'll forgive me if I'm a little hit or miss.

1439
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 2: But we will be here all week long with some new,

1440
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 2: different and different offerings, some rebroadcasts of some things that

1441
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 2: I think you'll enjoy, but some brand new conversations too,

1442
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 2: straight through the new year. So we will Tomorrow will

1443
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 2: be our final live show of twenty twenty five. Bob

1444
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,879
Speaker 2: Franz will be here on a couple of occasions throughout

1445
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 2: that time. We'll also have some rebroadcasts, and we will

1446
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,640
Speaker 2: have some brand new content at the podcast in particular,

1447
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:38,639
Speaker 2: so if you're a podcast listener or you haven't yet

1448
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 2: subscribed to it, so that you don't miss it all

1449
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:45,799
Speaker 2: right over at readline dot com. Kind of part and parcel.

1450
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 2: It's not entirely related, but somewhat related to the Epstein story.

1451
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 2: Is what's going on in Minnesota Again, maybe not directly,

1452
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 2: but in theme. Federal prosecutors now suggesting as of Thursday

1453
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 2: that Minnesota may have lost billions of dollars in fraud.

1454
01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 2: It's medicaid program. The very latest development and ongoing investigation,

1455
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,480
Speaker 2: as much as half of the roughly eighteen billion dollars

1456
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:16,640
Speaker 2: that Minnesota has spent since twenty eighteen on fourteen medicaid programs,

1457
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 2: particularly vulnerable to abuse, may have been siphoned off by fraudsters,

1458
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:25,680
Speaker 2: according to US Attorney Thompson. Thompson made the remarks as

1459
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 2: prosecutors announced additional charges in the ongoing investigation to the

1460
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 2: staggering industrial scale fraud engulfing the state. This fraud is

1461
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 2: not small, It isn't isolated. The magnitude cannot be overstated,

1462
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 2: said Thompson. What we see in Minnesota is not a

1463
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 2: handful of bad actors committing crimes. It is a staggering,

1464
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:52,680
Speaker 2: industrial scale fraud. It's swamping Minnesota and calling him to

1465
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 2: question everything we need to know about our state. The

1466
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 2: little weasel, the Kami. Tim Walls, addressing this again over

1467
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 2: the weekend number sixty three, Well.

1468
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 12: Look who's ever in charge? And I said, unlike the President,

1469
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 12: I'm the governor.

1470
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 7: Now.

1471
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 12: Whether these programs happened before we got here afterwards, it

1472
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 12: doesn't matter. We're here now, we're the ones fixing it.

1473
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 12: You have my guarantee on this is that I certainly

1474
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 12: will have this thing fixed and you see that we're

1475
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 12: on the front end of it. That's how this works.

1476
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 12: And so would I have wanted to stop this? Would

1477
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 12: I have gone out? You know, if you think the

1478
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 12: governor goes out and checks somebody on medicaid and if

1479
01:18:29,280 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 12: they were there, No, but that's somebody in government needed

1480
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 12: to do that.

1481
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:33,639
Speaker 2: And if they didn't do that, or if.

1482
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 12: There were loopholes in this. And what we found is

1483
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,600
Speaker 12: these are poorly written and it left openings and the

1484
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 12: goal was to get the money out.

1485
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 2: We'll fix that.

1486
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 12: But yeah, I'll take accountability for it. But what if

1487
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 12: you're seeing here is is you're seeing a weaponization. We'll

1488
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,840
Speaker 12: continue to fix it. They're going to continue to come

1489
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 12: up with numbers that don't have it there, and it's sensationalized.

1490
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,520
Speaker 12: I don't expect anything different from this administration.

1491
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 2: It's money laundering. It's all money laundering, just like I

1492
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 2: was saying previously with Epstein. That's why the system has

1493
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 2: been fighting, not because of pictures or even sex. The

1494
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,839
Speaker 2: system's been fighting because their survival depends on this stuff

1495
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 2: not being exposed. This entire fraud depends on this staying quiet.

1496
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 2: And so I maintain that the Epstein files remain sealed

1497
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,479
Speaker 2: or redacted, not to protect victims, but to protect the

1498
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 2: apparatus that Epstein served all this time. I think Bombie's

1499
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 2: getting to the bottom of it, but I think that's

1500
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,719
Speaker 2: where it's been so far, and until we get answers

1501
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 2: like who paid Epstein or who really moved money, the

1502
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 2: scandal isn't over again. The sex angle is unimaginably grotesque

1503
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 2: and it gets most of the attention, but it is

1504
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:51,520
Speaker 2: the money laundering that's the hidden pipeline that keeps cartels

1505
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 2: and traffickers and corrupt officials and off the books operations running.

1506
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 2: I think it's very similar to what's going on in Minnesota,

1507
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 2: looks stripped of its essentials. It is simple. Dirty money

1508
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 2: goes in, gets scrambled through layers of entities, and comes

1509
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 2: out clean enough to spend. Crime proceeds or covert funds

1510
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 2: enter the system. Shell companies, phony charities, art deals, vague

1511
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 2: nonprofits do the scrambling. Consultation fees or donations or investments

1512
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 2: emerge on the other side. It's simple. It's Ozark. If

1513
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,839
Speaker 2: you watched it, it's money laundering, and it always follows

1514
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 2: the same three steps. Placement, layering, integration. I wrote about

1515
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 2: this yesterday at the HUM Society if you care to

1516
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:43,839
Speaker 2: read it. Once integrated, the money no longer looks criminal,

1517
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 2: It looks respectable. Epstein is a textbook case. Court records

1518
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:55,480
Speaker 2: and years of investigative reporting show layered companies, opaque foundations,

1519
01:20:55,560 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 2: offshore accounts, wealth untethered from any visible business. His crimes

1520
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 2: again horrific and unforgivable. Yes, financially though he functioned as

1521
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 2: a professional middleman moving money through a classic money laundering

1522
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 2: pipeline wrapped up in the language of philanthropy. And that

1523
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:19,640
Speaker 2: pattern isn't unique to Epstein. It's the standard architecture of

1524
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 2: modern corruption, used by criminals, bad governments, and unaccountable institutions alike.

1525
01:21:25,160 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 2: It's what Trump is uncovered with Doge. What changed in

1526
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:31,679
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five is the old tricks started failing AI

1527
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 2: forensics tools. They don't sleep or look away doge. Every

1528
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 2: transaction left the trail shell games collapse. In twenty twenty five.

1529
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:47,679
Speaker 2: We may remember this year as the year laundering money

1530
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:53,600
Speaker 2: the machine finally jammed. Now Minnesota the epicenter of the

1531
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 2: largest government fraud wave in modern American history. Under the

1532
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 2: Dancing Queen, Tim walls. The price tag here may reach

1533
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 2: a staggering eight billion dollars. It's not a series of

1534
01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 2: isolated scandals. Walls built this climate week oversight, political protection,

1535
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 2: and a metastasized across a major public program feeding our future.

1536
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 2: Two hundred and fifty to three hundred million dollars COVID

1537
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 2: relief heist. That was only the beginning. Under Walls, it

1538
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 2: flourished daycare programs, one hundred million plus stolen hamelessness services,

1539
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 2: another one hundred million dollar fraud, Medicaid autism clinics, four

1540
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 2: hundred million bled away Ramsey counties thirty eight point four

1541
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:47,080
Speaker 2: million dollars, shadow budget, no offit audits rather, no bidding,

1542
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: no outcomes. There were behavioral health billing scams, tens of

1543
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 2: millions lost. There nonprofit grants hundreds of millions with no

1544
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 2: performance metrics. You add all this up and auditors say

1545
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 2: the potential exposure climbs into the billions. As the US

1546
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:15,799
Speaker 2: attorney said, staggering industrial scale fraud. And at every major

1547
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:20,759
Speaker 2: junction sits the same political duo. People like ilan Omar,

1548
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 2: the ideological cover and the dancing queen, the executive who

1549
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 2: let it all happen. People like ilan Omar pushed the

1550
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 2: Meals Act. What does that do? At loosened oversight, her

1551
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: circle intersected repeatedly with the major Somali fraud players. She

1552
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:44,760
Speaker 2: refunded the tainted donations only after FBI raids. Then there's

1553
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 2: Walls's administration, who ignored the whistleblowers, dismissed all the red

1554
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 2: flags as racist, allowed agencies to operate without basic verification

1555
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 2: and in legislative audit didn't mince words. The Walls administration

1556
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:02,559
Speaker 2: failed to act, and now now the Federal House Oversight

1557
01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 2: Committee is demanding these documents, citing negligence, ignored warnings, and

1558
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 2: potential destruction of evidence. Minnesota did not stumble into fraud.

1559
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,759
Speaker 2: It became a national fraud magnet because its leadership built

1560
01:24:16,760 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 2: the perfect conditions for it. The heartland of America deserves

1561
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 2: far better than a system where taxpayers go hungry while

1562
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 2: scammers buy villas and ferraris and, according to investigators, fund

1563
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 2: terrorist groups abroad. The Trump administration has been uncovering this

1564
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 2: NGO nightmare for the last year. It's being uncovered everywhere,

1565
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 2: I believe, from Epstein to Minnesota to Washington, DC's NGOs.

1566
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:52,839
Speaker 2: What Lee Zelden has found at the Environmental Protection Agency,

1567
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 2: for instance. There's no excuse for it to continue. With

1568
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 2: Doze and AI technology unleashed, harder to hide this shell game.

1569
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 2: We pray eight five five stigalls our telephone number if

1570
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:10,240
Speaker 2: you'd like to get in here today. The donations continue

1571
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,439
Speaker 2: to pour in, and I can't say enough, thank you,

1572
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you. With Christmas only three days away,

1573
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:20,640
Speaker 2: your generosity for the angel Tree campaign. Thirty dollars is

1574
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 2: all it takes to get a gift in hand to

1575
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 2: a child whose parent is incarcerated and they're sitting around

1576
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 2: wondering is mom or dad thinking about me? This Christmas?

1577
01:25:28,200 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 2: Thirty bucks gets it done, gets them a Bible, a

1578
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 2: note from that parent, and a toy. Can you help?

1579
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 2: We're still collecting Text Chris to nine four eight seven eight.

1580
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 2: Text Chris to nine four eight seven eight or Angeltree

1581
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 2: dot org slash Chris Merry Christmas. One of the stories

1582
01:25:45,600 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 2: out of the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago.

1583
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 2: That's not to speak of, you know, from what I

1584
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 2: think is the money laundering with Epstein, to the clear

1585
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 2: fraud and the maybe tens of billions of dollars up

1586
01:25:56,680 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 2: in Minnesota. The Wall Street Journal wrote headline, the biggest

1587
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 2: fraud in welfare. The government gives tens of thousands of

1588
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 2: dollars in benefits to the poor, which it doesn't count

1589
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 2: as income. This is a piece dated the seventeenth and

1590
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 2: it's this is I hope you're seated from the Wall

1591
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 2: Street Journal, and I quote, something is profoundly wrong with

1592
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 2: the US welfare system, a problem that runs far deeper

1593
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 2: and is more dangerous than the shocking fraud in Minnesota

1594
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 2: that has been making headlines. Listen to this. You ready,

1595
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 2: all right, fast, Eddie, don't drink anything, and I want

1596
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 2: you to be seated because this is you'll spittake when

1597
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 2: you hear this. Real federal welfare spending has soared seven

1598
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:56,960
Speaker 2: hundred sixty five percent, more than twice as fast as

1599
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 2: total federal spending, and now costs. Do you want to

1600
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 2: take a stab at what real federal welfare spending now

1601
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 2: costs annually? Can you even imagine what this? What you

1602
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 2: the taxpayer, we the taxpayer spending annually.

1603
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say, I'm going to say around five hundred

1604
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 6: billion dollars.

1605
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:25,760
Speaker 2: Double it, one point four trillion dollars. Oh man, we

1606
01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 2: spend collectively as taxpayers, Your elected representatives spend one point

1607
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 2: four trillion dollars annually federal spending on real federal welfare spending.

1608
01:27:37,840 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 2: Now listen to this. They did the math on this

1609
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:43,799
Speaker 2: over at the Wall Street Journal, where that money simply

1610
01:27:43,880 --> 01:27:47,519
Speaker 2: doled out evenly over the nineteen million families the government

1611
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 2: defines as port. Let's call it for a round math

1612
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 2: twenty million. Okay, so there are twenty million families the government,

1613
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 2: by its own metrics, defines as poor. All right, you

1614
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 2: with me? So far twenty million families in the country

1615
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 2: the government on paper defines as poor. And I just

1616
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:07,840
Speaker 2: told you one point four trillion dollars we spend annually

1617
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:11,679
Speaker 2: on welfare programs across the board. Right, If you took

1618
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 2: one point four trillion dollars and you spread it across

1619
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:19,719
Speaker 2: the actual twenty million people defined as poor in this country, Eddie,

1620
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 2: do you know how much they'd receive annually each household

1621
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 2: of twenty million households?

1622
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 17: Oh?

1623
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 7: Don't, Brian Williams me here.

1624
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 2: I know, I know I'm not getting good. I'm cheating

1625
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 2: because I haven't front of me. I'll spare you seventy

1626
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:39,799
Speaker 2: thousand dollars annually. Hmmm. If we gave what we spend

1627
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 2: in total welfare spending to the twenty million households that

1628
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 2: are actually defined as poor. Each household annually would get

1629
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 2: a seventy thousand dollars deposit.

1630
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,120
Speaker 7: Well, what's stopping us from doing that?

1631
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 2: Now?

1632
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 7: We have to do philipbuster to do that.

1633
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 2: We go back to what I I was just talking about, right,

1634
01:29:02,040 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 2: money laundering one point for trillion dollars and we have

1635
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:11,599
Speaker 2: only twenty million families defined as poor out there. Something

1636
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 2: doesn't add up. Ed back to the DOGE story, a

1637
01:29:16,800 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 2: new report says Elon Musk's efforts to cut at least

1638
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 2: two trillion in waste, fraud, and abuse didn't reduce overall spending,

1639
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 2: but did result in unmatched peacetime workforce reduction. The Department

1640
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 2: of Government efficiency reduced federal employment so much so that

1641
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 2: a decline of its size has not Sorry, let me

1642
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 2: read that again. They've reduced the federal employment so much

1643
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 2: so the decline of its size has not happened since

1644
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:48,519
Speaker 2: the military demobilizations at the end of World War II

1645
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 2: in the Korean War. This is according to the Cato Institute.

1646
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,440
Speaker 2: Since its inception at the start of the Trump administration,

1647
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:58,160
Speaker 2: DOGE aimed to reduce the size of the federal government.

1648
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 2: That department has boasted an estimated two hundred and fourteen

1649
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:06,000
Speaker 2: billion dollars in savings. But the report by Cato, a

1650
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:08,920
Speaker 2: think tank that promotes limited government, found that the federal

1651
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:12,679
Speaker 2: government spent seven point six trillion dollars in the first

1652
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 2: eleven months of twenty twenty five's calendar year. Well, again,

1653
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:20,799
Speaker 2: a lot of that is allocated funds. It's you're putting

1654
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 2: that spending on Trump hitting the front door. So can

1655
01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 2: Trump claw back the already pledged and promised seven point

1656
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:31,680
Speaker 2: six trillion dollars Not entirely, this number is roughly two

1657
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 2: hundred and forty eight billion higher than the last time

1658
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 2: at the same time last year. Those can, however, claim

1659
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 2: success in cuts to the federal workforce. It was able

1660
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 2: to reduce federal employment at the fastest pace since President Carter.

1661
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 2: It reduced federal employment by nine percent in last less

1662
01:30:51,280 --> 01:30:55,599
Speaker 2: than ten months, cutting federal employment by almost three hundred

1663
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:59,960
Speaker 2: thousand jobs. That's real time executive impact that Trump can

1664
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:04,040
Speaker 2: and do little harder with Congress involved in the pledged

1665
01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:08,840
Speaker 2: spending ornament there it is. If you're watching on the

1666
01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 2: Salem News channel, Hey, good morning to you. The Bill's mafia.

1667
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:16,320
Speaker 2: Their new palace being built just in time for another

1668
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:20,919
Speaker 2: playoff run. Mondays round these parts, me and Aaron maguire

1669
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,679
Speaker 2: can show up and brag on our Bills. They're headed

1670
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 2: to the postseason. It's like ninety nine point nine percent.

1671
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 2: I was looking at the ESPN stats this morning. Aaron,

1672
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:32,200
Speaker 2: first of all, good morning and congrats the Bills another victory,

1673
01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:35,759
Speaker 2: says they are they have it at ninety nine point

1674
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:40,040
Speaker 2: nine percent likely to make the postseason. Good morning, good morning. Yeah.

1675
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 1: Not the prettiest game, that's for sure.

1676
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 17: The Buffalo Bills have no concern for anybody's mental well

1677
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 17: being mine particularly, But I'm happy we won the game.

1678
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 17: We will be going to the playoffs. God willing. This

1679
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 17: is our year. Josh Allen m VP, married, pregnant wife.

1680
01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:59,320
Speaker 17: We want a Super Bowl for the love of God.

1681
01:32:00,200 --> 01:32:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's an interesting the AFC. Boy, it's a slugfest

1682
01:32:06,200 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 2: out there, from the Steelers to the Broncos, to the

1683
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 2: Patriots to you guys, the Bills. That's going to be

1684
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 2: Do you do you fear the AFC more than the NFC?

1685
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:20,040
Speaker 17: Oh definitely, I mean yeah, the AFC has much better

1686
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 17: overall teams. However, getting through the AFC to get to

1687
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 17: the Super Bowl, as we've seen, is the toughest challenge

1688
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:27,719
Speaker 17: for the Buffalo Bills. And I got to give Drake

1689
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 17: may as props. He's a young player, but he is

1690
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 17: playing very good football. And how dare I, as a

1691
01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 17: Bills fan say anything nice about a Patriots player? But

1692
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 17: I will, and I will say. I mean, Josh Allen

1693
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,639
Speaker 17: has shown that he is never out of a game.

1694
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:43,800
Speaker 17: We are never out of a game until time is

1695
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:46,320
Speaker 17: completely off the clock. And if he wants to put

1696
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 17: this team on his back and finally give us that

1697
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:49,720
Speaker 17: Super Bowl, I am here for it.

1698
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:53,880
Speaker 2: I have to say just quickly. I mean, the Eagles

1699
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 2: are in it for sure, they clinched their division again.

1700
01:32:56,439 --> 01:33:00,559
Speaker 2: But the Bears. That Bears Packers game was also a

1701
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,360
Speaker 2: remarkable game. The Bears are coming on all of a sudden,

1702
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 2: and they're an interesting team to watch too. In my opinion,

1703
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 2: they're pretty hot right now. But the NFC pictures a

1704
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 2: very interesting one. And so bottom line, what we know

1705
01:33:15,479 --> 01:33:19,599
Speaker 2: for sure is you want a disaster in real time,

1706
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 2: watch the Kansas City Chiefs, who not only lost my homes,

1707
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:28,679
Speaker 2: but then Minshew comes in as the backup and Tear's

1708
01:33:28,720 --> 01:33:32,000
Speaker 2: his acl Oh my god, yesterday too. So they're now

1709
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,840
Speaker 2: to their third string quarterback and just hemorrhaging to wrap

1710
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 2: up the season. That's just And look, I understand everybody's

1711
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:40,400
Speaker 2: tired of the Chiefs. Nobody wants to talk about Mahomes

1712
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:42,040
Speaker 2: of the Chiefs, and Kelsey's probably going to retire in

1713
01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 2: the whole thing. But it's a remarkable story and that

1714
01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:46,479
Speaker 2: for the better part of a decade you've talked about

1715
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 2: the Chiefs of the postseason, and now it's just what

1716
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:51,600
Speaker 2: would have said.

1717
01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 17: I mean, my best friend has always told me that

1718
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:57,240
Speaker 17: he believes the way the Bills win a super Bowl

1719
01:33:57,320 --> 01:33:59,720
Speaker 17: is a fluke season like this, right, Kansas City is

1720
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 17: not in the postseason, which is unbelievable given the strength

1721
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 17: of that team and the run they've been on. When

1722
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 17: you look at that, you see even Lamar Jackson and Baltimore,

1723
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,639
Speaker 17: that team is not what we thought it was going

1724
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 17: to be. Everybody remembers the Week one game versus the Bills.

1725
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 17: They're like, this was a super Bowl caliber game here.

1726
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 17: So you look at that that pathway that is kind

1727
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 17: of Joe Burrow and Cincinnati, right the Bengals took us

1728
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 17: out in the twenty three playoff season. I was at

1729
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:28,559
Speaker 17: that game in Buffalo, so to see those kind of

1730
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:29,400
Speaker 17: foils we've.

1731
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 1: Had along the way not be there now, this.

1732
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 17: Would be the kind of season where it would be

1733
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 17: fluky enough that the Bills could equin out. I do

1734
01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 17: think Denver is going to be a hard team to

1735
01:34:38,840 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 17: go through kind of going that way. But we played

1736
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:42,880
Speaker 17: well on the road, and I mean, this is going

1737
01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:45,599
Speaker 17: to be a big playoff run for the Bills and

1738
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 17: one that I don't think anybody expected when the season started.

1739
01:34:49,280 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 2: So this is sort of an interesting way to bridge

1740
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 2: into politics a little bit, Aaron MacGuire, because you're a

1741
01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 2: football fan and we're talking a little football. Politics does

1742
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,799
Speaker 2: often intersect with the game. And one of the interesting

1743
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:04,080
Speaker 2: things that's going on in a couple of different cities,

1744
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 2: Kansas City included, is the fight for new stadiums. Now,

1745
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 2: there are a lot of stadiums in the country that

1746
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 2: are not in the city where the team actually plays.

1747
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 2: San Francisco, for instance, or New York. Both teams they're

1748
01:35:17,479 --> 01:35:20,400
Speaker 2: not technically sitting in the beginning they.

1749
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: Play in New Jersey.

1750
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. So but here's the remarkable political story

1751
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:29,080
Speaker 2: I mentioned both Kansas City and the Bears. These are

1752
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:32,719
Speaker 2: two teams that are talking about one is very likely

1753
01:35:32,800 --> 01:35:36,640
Speaker 2: to leave the state and go to another state. And

1754
01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 2: if that happens to Pritzker, or that happens to the

1755
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:45,679
Speaker 2: mayor of Kansas City, like, isn't that politically speaking, isn't

1756
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 2: that like a pretty devastating thing? Because football, whether you

1757
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:52,040
Speaker 2: like sports or not, it's undeniable. It's the biggest thing

1758
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 2: going by a lot, and people love their hometown teams,

1759
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 2: and to lose them to another state politically, isn't that toxic?

1760
01:35:59,040 --> 01:36:02,080
Speaker 17: It is really tough. It's really toxic. And for these

1761
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:05,240
Speaker 17: people who would drive out these really economic drivers. And

1762
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 17: there's plenty of conversation about taxpayer money help subsidize stadiums.

1763
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 17: That's a whole conversation about the NFL and taxpayers, But

1764
01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:16,000
Speaker 17: just politically speaking, having a team leave a city or

1765
01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 17: a state because they cannot play in it any longer

1766
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:20,920
Speaker 17: and they want to be elsewhere, that really is a

1767
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:25,120
Speaker 17: political malfee since by the leadership of that community, you

1768
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 17: should want to have these economic revenue drivers like football stadiums,

1769
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:34,040
Speaker 17: putting up jobs for building the stadiums, working at the stadiums,

1770
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 17: being part of the program, and the team Buffalo plays in.

1771
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:40,400
Speaker 1: Orchard Park, New York. Not in Buffalo, but for the

1772
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 1: Orchard Park.

1773
01:36:41,080 --> 01:36:44,439
Speaker 17: Community, it is massive to have the economic driver and

1774
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:48,040
Speaker 17: the Buffalo Bills for a little while played home games

1775
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 17: in Toronto. I'm glad we stopped with that nonsense, and

1776
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 17: I'm glad John bon Jovin never bought the team because

1777
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 17: he wanted to take them to Toronto. It's also part

1778
01:36:57,280 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 17: of a social identity and a culture in a lot

1779
01:36:59,800 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 17: of these communities, especially at place like Western New York

1780
01:37:03,200 --> 01:37:06,479
Speaker 17: or you know, Green Bay, Wisconsin, or Kansas City, these

1781
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:09,479
Speaker 17: kind of mid major cities, it's so important to them

1782
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:12,360
Speaker 17: to have part of this ideology that comes with that team.

1783
01:37:12,560 --> 01:37:14,880
Speaker 17: If your political leadership can't get out of their own

1784
01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 17: way to help support something that's an economic driver and

1785
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 17: a cultural driver in a community that shows political malfeasans.

1786
01:37:22,240 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 2: I just got to tell you Quinton Lucas, who is

1787
01:37:24,080 --> 01:37:27,240
Speaker 2: the current mayor of Kansas City, is presiding over what

1788
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:31,519
Speaker 2: is likely going to be both both the Kansas City

1789
01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 2: Royals and the Kansas City Chiefs leaving Kansas City and

1790
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:38,759
Speaker 2: going across the state line into Kansas, and for people

1791
01:37:38,760 --> 01:37:42,679
Speaker 2: that don't know it, Kansas City. There is a Kansas City, Kansas,

1792
01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:45,719
Speaker 2: but the Kansas City that you know. These teams they're

1793
01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:49,599
Speaker 2: in Missouri and they're going to probably it's about ninety

1794
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 2: percent likely crossover into Kansas. And I just can't like

1795
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:57,479
Speaker 2: from a politics standpoint, being the mayor that presides over

1796
01:37:57,560 --> 01:38:02,360
Speaker 2: losing both major sports franchises to go across the border,

1797
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 2: and he just lost a major Lockton is a company

1798
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:09,400
Speaker 2: headquartered in Kansas City. They're also moving over to Kansas.

1799
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like a mayor peat style failure

1800
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 2: of a Democrat.

1801
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 17: It is, and you see that when it comes to

1802
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:21,280
Speaker 17: jobs and to these teams, they're really so critical to

1803
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 17: these communities. And to be an elected official who loses

1804
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:30,679
Speaker 17: not one, but possibly two teams to another state, couple

1805
01:38:30,760 --> 01:38:34,840
Speaker 17: that with jobs and businesses not leaving, that's a masterclass

1806
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:35,479
Speaker 17: and failure.

1807
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:37,839
Speaker 1: I mean, you can look all across the country.

1808
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 17: People love their sports teams and the idea that your

1809
01:38:41,200 --> 01:38:43,599
Speaker 17: job is to represent the city, but you drive out

1810
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 17: part of its heart. I can't believe that somebody could

1811
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 17: could politically withstand that kind of thing, because I mean, listen,

1812
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 17: people run TV ads in campaigns on sports games for

1813
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 17: a very specific reason, and it's because there's emotion tied

1814
01:38:58,160 --> 01:39:00,880
Speaker 17: to politics, there's a motion tied to sport, and that's

1815
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 17: why they try to bring those together in those moments

1816
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 17: when people are paying attention.

1817
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 2: It's just stunning. And I don't know, a lot of

1818
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 2: people don't necessarily care about sports, but that is that

1819
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 2: is actually a huge story. And and Pritzker's trying to

1820
01:39:13,080 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 2: fight the Bears. Maybe not talking about going over to Indiana,

1821
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 2: ind into Indiana, which would be another colossal loss for Chicago.

1822
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:24,040
Speaker 2: But anyway, moving on, let me go to John Fetterman,

1823
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 2: who continues to be an interesting Democrat out there, talking

1824
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 2: about the recent government shutdown. Aaron maguire give me number

1825
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,000
Speaker 2: seventy here if you would please, Paully.

1826
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:37,519
Speaker 18: What I'm saying. What I'm saying, it's like, you know,

1827
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:41,360
Speaker 18: this was you know, this was a demand by people

1828
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:45,479
Speaker 18: were afraid of parts of our base. And I'm like,

1829
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 18: we were always the party that refused to shut our

1830
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 18: government down. I mean, then after what we ended up

1831
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:55,240
Speaker 18: with it, you know, it was a vote and pretty

1832
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:57,479
Speaker 18: pretty confident that we could have got that same vote,

1833
01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 18: you know, without you know, shutting it down at this point.

1834
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,439
Speaker 2: So Fetderman is one of the only Democrats willing to

1835
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 2: say loud we were handcuffed by our base. We got

1836
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:10,599
Speaker 2: scared of our base, and we caved and we didn't

1837
01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:13,719
Speaker 2: get anything for it. As we head into twenty twenty six, Aaron,

1838
01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:17,599
Speaker 2: he seems to have a realistic view. The Democrats, according

1839
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 2: to Quinnipiac are a minus fifty five in Congress right now,

1840
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:24,559
Speaker 2: like colossal worst numbers. Ever, So how do you handicap

1841
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:26,559
Speaker 2: it as we go into twenty twenty six and to

1842
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:27,639
Speaker 2: the midterms right.

1843
01:40:27,600 --> 01:40:30,800
Speaker 17: Now, Yeah, this is going to be a dogfight all year.

1844
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 17: And there's a couple of things to look at. One,

1845
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 17: the Democrat fracturing right. That is a base that is

1846
01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:37,800
Speaker 17: going to be pulled further and further to the left.

1847
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:39,960
Speaker 17: And you've started to see some of those issues they're

1848
01:40:39,960 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 17: going to face with those really radical candidates a Jasmine

1849
01:40:43,200 --> 01:40:46,760
Speaker 17: Crockett in Texas, right, those candidates will cause them to

1850
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 17: spend a lot of money to try and win a primary,

1851
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 17: then to try and set more money on fire trying

1852
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 17: to win a general election because they've gone so far.

1853
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:57,639
Speaker 17: But when you look at it, one, we still don't

1854
01:40:57,720 --> 01:40:59,680
Speaker 17: know a lot of what these districts are going to

1855
01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 17: look like. For the House and in Congress, that's a

1856
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 17: big consideration too. You've heard it talked about, but it

1857
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:07,280
Speaker 17: should be continued to be talked about. Is Republicans have

1858
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,880
Speaker 17: big headwinds in their face going at this. We have

1859
01:41:09,920 --> 01:41:12,400
Speaker 17: the White House, the House, and the Senate. And to

1860
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:15,720
Speaker 17: motivate Trump voters, people who have only come out for

1861
01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:19,240
Speaker 17: President Trump, to keep them coming out for Republicans in

1862
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:22,679
Speaker 17: the midterms, that is going to be a massive operation and.

1863
01:41:23,000 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: A critical one.

1864
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:29,440
Speaker 17: And even with Democrats as a party with unbelievable hemorrhaging

1865
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 17: of support and they're losing a lot of that support

1866
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:35,840
Speaker 17: with independence, they still are at this point about four

1867
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:37,639
Speaker 17: points up on the generic ballot.

1868
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: Now, normally, you.

1869
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 17: Know, Democrat versus Republican head to head going into the action,

1870
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,439
Speaker 17: normally it would be about double that. We're looking at

1871
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:48,160
Speaker 17: a deeply closely divided country. This is just minimal amounts

1872
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 17: of points between the two.

1873
01:41:49,560 --> 01:41:52,439
Speaker 2: But Democrats are to be clear, you are not keep

1874
01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:54,960
Speaker 2: that thought. I just want to make a underline that

1875
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:58,160
Speaker 2: point you right now, as you're looking at the generic

1876
01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:00,800
Speaker 2: head to head, you've never seen a party out of

1877
01:42:00,880 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 2: power performing this poorly, typically they do better.

1878
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:05,160
Speaker 1: They do typically do better.

1879
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 17: Normally, you would be looking at you know, eight to

1880
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 17: ten points on the generic ballot right now, and we're

1881
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:12,679
Speaker 17: looking at about four for Democrats. This is a very

1882
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:16,360
Speaker 17: close nation, and especially in those swing districts. But even

1883
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,680
Speaker 17: with Democrats numbers as low as they are, the political

1884
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 17: history says that this will likely flip. The House is

1885
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:25,800
Speaker 17: more likely to flip because of that. So all of

1886
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,280
Speaker 17: this together, Republicans are going to be facing a very

1887
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:29,520
Speaker 17: tough challenge.

1888
01:42:29,600 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 1: And even with Democrats as poor as they are as a.

1889
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 17: Party, the American people are more likely to side with

1890
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 17: them going to the election.

1891
01:42:37,320 --> 01:42:38,760
Speaker 1: So it's all hands on deck.

1892
01:42:39,040 --> 01:42:42,519
Speaker 17: Selling the economic message, selling the tax message, selling the

1893
01:42:42,560 --> 01:42:45,799
Speaker 17: safety message, and talking about what the American people care about,

1894
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:48,479
Speaker 17: not like Democrats did when they continue to tell the

1895
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:52,320
Speaker 17: American people, don't worry about inflation, don't worry about transitory

1896
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 17: So this is a hard one. If I'm handicapping it

1897
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:58,599
Speaker 17: right now, it is a coin toss as to who's

1898
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:00,200
Speaker 17: going to get the majority in the House US.

1899
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:04,479
Speaker 2: Wow, And just a couple of seconds here, but the economy,

1900
01:43:04,560 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 2: let's say it really boom like best and others predict

1901
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:09,280
Speaker 2: Could that be a big factor or No.

1902
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,719
Speaker 17: Absolutely, If the economy is doing well, if people feel

1903
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:14,960
Speaker 17: that they can afford more, they can put more away,

1904
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:18,480
Speaker 17: they can go on vacations, they have more in their paycheck,

1905
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 17: then yes, the economy is always number one for people

1906
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 17: because it's so personal to them how they spend their money.

1907
01:43:24,600 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 17: That yes, if we have a strong economy, that could

1908
01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 17: really change the political calculus going into these midterms.

1909
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 2: In ten seconds, if you're advising the Senate, blow up

1910
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:35,800
Speaker 2: the filibuster, rubber stamp a bunch of stuff fast or

1911
01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:36,559
Speaker 2: does that do any good?

1912
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,439
Speaker 17: No, don't blow up the philibuster. There are a few

1913
01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:42,320
Speaker 17: things that keep this country on track, and making sure

1914
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,160
Speaker 17: that we do not allow the Senate to become the

1915
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:46,519
Speaker 17: House of Representatives is one of those things.

1916
01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:51,280
Speaker 2: She's Aaron maguire, Bill's fan. Gonna have a great postseason,

1917
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:54,120
Speaker 2: have a great New Year. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Aaron.

1918
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: We'll see you then, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.

1919
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:03,439
Speaker 2: In San Francisco over the weekend. Waimo I do. The

1920
01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:05,720
Speaker 2: first time I saw Weimo was in Phoenix, actually at

1921
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 2: Amfest last year. Fast Eddie. I had never seen a

1922
01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:11,439
Speaker 2: Weimo before these are these self driving vehicles? Did you

1923
01:44:11,479 --> 01:44:12,840
Speaker 2: take one? I did?

1924
01:44:13,160 --> 01:44:14,040
Speaker 7: Oh, you took one?

1925
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:15,360
Speaker 2: I took one.

1926
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 7: I didn't.

1927
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:18,479
Speaker 6: After we saw we were sitting at a restaurant and

1928
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:20,680
Speaker 6: I saw one block the entire street and it was

1929
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:21,599
Speaker 6: like backing up.

1930
01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:23,960
Speaker 7: And moving forward, like what is going on? You're like, yeah,

1931
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,720
Speaker 7: nobody's in that car. I'm like really, yeah.

1932
01:44:26,840 --> 01:44:30,679
Speaker 2: The self driving cars are running throughout Phoenix, They're running

1933
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 2: throughout San Francisco. I know, maybe other cities, but anyway,

1934
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,519
Speaker 2: there was a big power outage in San Francisco over

1935
01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:38,920
Speaker 2: the weekend. Now, Tesla also has a bunch of self

1936
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 2: driving cars. It was an hour's long power outage in

1937
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:46,000
Speaker 2: San Francisco, causing tens of thousands of households to lose electricity,

1938
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,360
Speaker 2: and it knocked out Waimo's service. So all these cars

1939
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 2: that are self driving just stopped and blocked streets and

1940
01:44:54,439 --> 01:44:59,040
Speaker 2: blocked intersections. Now, of course, Elon Musk jumped into the

1941
01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:02,800
Speaker 2: free immediately to laugh at Weimo, saying mine didn't have

1942
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 2: any trouble. Taking a poke at Weymo. Elon Musk set

1943
01:45:06,200 --> 01:45:10,360
Speaker 2: on a social media platform ex Tesla robotaxis, which provide

1944
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 2: limited self driving. Ride share services in San Francisco have

1945
01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 2: been unaffected during the power outage. Here again, electric cars,

1946
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 2: you know, regardless of whether there's self driving or not.

1947
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm not nuts about the electric car fast Eddy, for

1948
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:28,679
Speaker 2: this is yet another reason that's power grids and power outages.

1949
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:31,040
Speaker 6: I was going to say, especially in San Francisco, where

1950
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:34,080
Speaker 6: they've already handicapped themselves so much at a city level,

1951
01:45:34,120 --> 01:45:38,160
Speaker 6: on a state level, gosh, what do you do after

1952
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 6: the grid fails?

1953
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:43,960
Speaker 2: Parents in Western New York are raising alarms over cold

1954
01:45:44,040 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 2: rides and breakdowns after officials mandated all school buses be

1955
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 2: electric by twenty twenty seven. These morons. Local outlet wiv

1956
01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 2: B reported that the law has drawn the ire of

1957
01:45:56,240 --> 01:45:59,080
Speaker 2: parents in the Lake Shore Central School District. The station

1958
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 2: receives calls over the electric buses, with parents claiming their

1959
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:06,479
Speaker 2: children are freezing when they come home from school. The

1960
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:10,280
Speaker 2: district operates twenty three electric buses, twenty four gasoline buses,

1961
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:14,200
Speaker 2: four full sized diesel buses. The heaters on the bus

1962
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:17,200
Speaker 2: run off the same electricity as the bus itself. They

1963
01:46:17,280 --> 01:46:20,559
Speaker 2: were told that it drains the battery capacity on the bus,

1964
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:23,320
Speaker 2: so they're turning off the heat to keep the electric

1965
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:25,240
Speaker 2: going to run the bus past Eddie?

1966
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:27,880
Speaker 7: How do you even do that?

1967
01:46:28,040 --> 01:46:31,000
Speaker 6: So you're supposed to send your kid to public school

1968
01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:34,160
Speaker 6: and say that they get there safely, provide them a

1969
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,720
Speaker 6: hot meal, and you can't keep them like can you

1970
01:46:36,720 --> 01:46:39,559
Speaker 6: imagine being on a frozen bus and that I don't

1971
01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:42,240
Speaker 6: want to call names, but remember Kamala Harris, she was

1972
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:46,200
Speaker 6: all about making the nation's fleet of buzzes oh electric buses.

1973
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ford has stopped making electric trucks for a reason.

1974
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:53,519
Speaker 2: I just won't do it. I'm sorry. I know you

1975
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:55,200
Speaker 2: people that are fans of it are fans of it,

1976
01:46:55,240 --> 01:46:57,280
Speaker 2: and I'm not mocking you or calling you out. Or

1977
01:46:57,280 --> 01:46:59,000
Speaker 2: you can love your electric car all you want. I

1978
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:01,280
Speaker 2: do not want to be dependent on plugging in my

1979
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:03,439
Speaker 2: vehicle to get from point A to point B. I

1980
01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:06,840
Speaker 2: just don't. I can't get my head around it. All Right,

1981
01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 2: Before we wrap, there was a lot of fun at Amfest.

1982
01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:14,519
Speaker 2: Jd Vance brought the house down. Let's let's do this.

1983
01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:17,599
Speaker 2: Let's give me number sixty here, Ja d Vance take

1984
01:47:17,640 --> 01:47:19,919
Speaker 2: a listen to the vice president at Amfest in Phoenix.

1985
01:47:20,920 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 13: But I want to say something here. The only thing

1986
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:27,799
Speaker 13: that is truly served as an anchor of the United

1987
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:31,160
Speaker 13: States of America is that we have been, and by

1988
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:33,280
Speaker 13: the grace of God, we always will.

1989
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:34,519
Speaker 2: Be, a Christian nation.

1990
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:37,720
Speaker 13: Now I want to be explicit, because of course the

1991
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:41,320
Speaker 13: fake news media will twist everything that I say. I'm

1992
01:47:41,320 --> 01:47:46,040
Speaker 13: not saying, do you feel about them the same way

1993
01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 13: I do. I'm not saying you have to be a

1994
01:47:49,320 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 13: Christian to be an American. I'm saying something simpler and truer.

1995
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:59,600
Speaker 13: Christianity is America's creed, the shared moral language from the

1996
01:47:59,600 --> 01:48:03,960
Speaker 13: Revolution to the Civil War and beyond. Across that history,

1997
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 13: our country's major debates have always centered on how we

1998
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:15,720
Speaker 13: could best as a people. Please God. That greed, think

1999
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,439
Speaker 13: about it. That greed motivated our.

2000
01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:22,240
Speaker 2: Understanding of net and he went on. It's worth watching

2001
01:48:22,320 --> 01:48:24,679
Speaker 2: his entire speech if you missed it. It was good stuff.

2002
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:27,559
