Speaker 1: I'm Dan Carroll. Joe Waldell is running the big board

00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: Those are the numbers to call a ton of stuff

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: I want to get to tonight. I'm gonna do What

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: a mess, what an absolute mess we have going on

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: at city Hall right now. We've got incompetence run wild.

12
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm starting to see the commercials now for the candidate

13
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: to want to be re elected to city Council. I

14
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 1: can't think of a good reason to re elect any

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: of them. My guest coming up after the news at

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour is going to be Kevin Aldridge.

17
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: He is the opinion editor at the Cincinnat Inquirer, and

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: we're going to break down all the latest information that's

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: come out and when we just have a city manager

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: that has shown her incompetence in multiple ways. She finally

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: spoke about the situation with the police chief today, and

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: essentially she said, Hey, it's personnel matter, can't comment on it.

23
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: Isn't that nice? Isn't that convenient? And she was upset

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: with the chief. And there was a letter that went

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: out to the chief, Teresa Thigi. I believe it was

26
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: back in August, and the chief said something that the

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: city manager wasn't aware of that the chief had been

28
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: talking to other police chiefs in Hamilton County and decided

29
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: that Cincinnati would be part of a force task force

30
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: to help produce crime. And of course the city manager, well,

31
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't say things like this without running

32
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: it by me first. And she was called off guard.

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, what difference does it make?

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: What difference does it make if the city manager, the

35
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: city manager doesn't speak to anyone anyway, when's the last

36
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: time a city manager subjected herself to withering questions from

37
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: the media. Anyone seeing that interview, I don't think so.

38
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: So we've got a city manager out there who won't

39
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: talk to the media, that talks about to the police

40
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: chief about Hey, before you do anything, you got to

41
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: run it by me and my compadres here at city Hall.

42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: The copy of the letter I read didn't say specific

43
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: specifically I was Roly, but I would imagine she might

44
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: have had a part in it. So we're going to

45
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: talk to Kevin Aldridge about that. Then Tom King, one

46
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: of my favorite lawyers, is going to be here. He

47
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: is the chief council for the Pennsylvania GOP. They've got

48
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: some hot and heavy They've got some hot and heavy

49
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: elections going on there, especially Obama's getting involved down in Pennsylvania.

50
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: They've got a a Supreme Court race going on, and

51
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: Obama's getting involved in that. But I want to talk

52
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: to him about the the the information that came out

53
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: today from the it's the House Oversight Committee, and they

54
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: put out they put out their report on Joe Biden

55
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: and the Biden administration as it relates to what was

56
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: going on with the auto pen And of course I'm

57
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: I had it here right in front of me a

58
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: moment ago, but of course I'm scrolling through the thing

59
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: now and I can't find it. But to my way

60
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: of thinking, the report is pretty devastating. And I want

61
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: you to listen to then. And what they did was

62
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: if you go to their website and maybe I'll be

63
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: able to find it here momentarily, but if you look

64
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: at their website, what they did is they put out

65
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: just one after another, a series of videos of people

66
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: who testified before their committee, people who were formally in

67
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, who may or may not have worked

68
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: closely with Joe Biden. You had one guy in there

69
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: who was telling the committee that if Biden got reelected,

70
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: then he was in line for a four million dollar bonus.

71
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: His salary was already four million dollars, but he was

72
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: going to get a four million dollar bonus if Biden

73
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: got reelected in twenty twenty four. So they were incentivized

74
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: a lot of these people, if they knew the truth,

75
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: to not tell the truth, to not relate the truth.

76
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: And I want you to listen to the cut that

77
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: I have ready to go here. Let me see Joe.

78
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: This is going to be cut number thirteen. But this

79
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: is a guy named his name is Iam sam Ian

80
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: Sam's he was one of the spokespersons for Joe Biden.

81
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: And listen to this clip. It's a little over two

82
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: minutes long, but listen to this because they're trying to

83
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: clarify how many times this guy actually met with and

84
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: spoke with and was in the same room with Joe Biden.

85
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: He was a spokesperson for Joe Biden. And in the

86
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: middle of this clip, you're going to hear a cut

87
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: from an interview that Ian Sam's did on MSNBC, and

88
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: it takes a while to get there, but towards the

89
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,559
Speaker 1: end of the clip he finally admits what was really

90
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: going on. So this is the kind of stuff that

91
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: the Oversight Committee put out earlier today. And Joe Wabbell,

92
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: this is cutting number thirteen.

93
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: Please, how often would you say that you interacted with

94
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: the president in person?

95
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 3: I interacted with him pretty infrequently.

96
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 4: So weekly, monthly, what are we talking about?

97
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: Very infrequent?

98
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: I think I met with the president a handful of

99
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: times during my tenure in lies.

100
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 4: I want to introduce exhibit two.

101
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: As it's being passed around into a tweet from Alex

102
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: Thompson and at ATCO summarizing.

103
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: We pulled a couple of quotes of.

104
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: Us the interview you did it on MSNBC, and one

105
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: of the quotes says, when I deal with him, he

106
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: is sharp and being President Biden, and he is asking

107
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: tough questions.

108
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: To your call this you got to say that doesn't

109
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 3: look anything like the President that I know when I

110
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: deal with him, He's sharp, he's asking tough questions.

111
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 5: That's the President Biden that so many of us experience

112
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 5: every single day.

113
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: So this statement, the basis for this statement was your

114
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: interaction somewhere between one and five times.

115
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, do you think that's a bitness leading?

116
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: I think it was pretty direct and honest and said

117
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: that when I do deal with him, he's you know, charting,

118
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: he was asking incisive questions during my meetings with him.

119
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: But dealt with him five times in twenty four months.

120
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: That's not exactly a large scope of knowledge on how

121
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: he interacts with staff. You know, I think it's missing

122
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: some context. I don't Do you think that statement suggests

123
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: that you deal with him more than he did?

124
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I mean I spoke about my

125
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: own interactions with him.

126
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 5: That's the President Biden that we experience every day.

127
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: But to the best of your recollection, for meetings two

128
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: were in person.

129
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 5: Two that were the two that I described to you

130
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 5: that I at the very onset in the oval. One

131
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: was a zoom where he was at Camp David, and

132
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 5: I was a participant in the meeting the phone call.

133
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 5: I think there was another meeting, but I or another engagement,

134
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 5: but I can't remember off the top of my head

135
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 5: what it was.

136
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, No, It's like I'm just trying to get

137
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: a understanding. So the community decision was.

138
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: Virtual within the camp, David, there's a phone call regarding

139
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden's testimony. Yes, an in purson meeting regarding Hunter

140
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: Biden's testimony, and one other in person.

141
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: Meeting about special counsel Hirst special counsel.

142
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: So two in purson meetings. Sure, at least at least that, yes.

143
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: At least two in person meetings. So here's a guy,

144
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: Ian Sam's is his name, spokesperson for Biden, worked in

145
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: the Biden White House for two years. Over that span

146
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: of time, he met in person with Biden two times.

147
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: And yet he goes on MSNBC and says, and they're

148
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: talking about the decline, they're talking about his state of mind,

149
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: how he acts with people behind the scenes. Well, that's

150
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: not that Joe Biden we see every single day. When

151
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: someone says that's not what we see every single day,

152
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: does that indicate Now, Look, it's even if you work

153
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: with someone, it's believable that you don't see them every

154
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: single day. But when you say every single day, what

155
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: do you mean by that, you mean that you see

156
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: them all the time, that you have regular contact with them.

157
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: This guy was a spokesperson for Biden. He met with

158
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: him twice in person. Once there was a zoom call

159
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: that he was on while Biden was at Camp David,

160
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: and only God knows what happened. And then there was

161
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: another time over the telephone. That's it. And this guy

162
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: goes out on MSNBC and says, hey, the guy is sharp,

163
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: he's asking questions. I'm telling you, man, got to be

164
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: on top of your game. We see it every single day.

165
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: This is how the Biden administration operated. And when you

166
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: go to the government website of the Oversight Committee and

167
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: you look at the report that they put out, and

168
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: I found it during the where we were playing the

169
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: SoundBite there the Biden not a Pen Presidency declined delusion

170
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: and deception in the White House put out and by

171
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: James Comer, the chairman, And what does he hear? He says,

172
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: the let's see the Biden not a Pen presidency will

173
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: go down as one of the biggest political scandals in

174
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: US history. As Americans saw President Biden's decline with their

175
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: own eyes. Biden's in her circle sought to deceive the public,

176
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: cover up his decline, and took unauthorized executive actions with

177
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: the auto pen that are now invalid. So when I

178
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: have Tom King on, we are going to break this

179
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: down and get in to this. A huge political scandal

180
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: put out by the Government Oversight Committee or the Committee

181
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: on Oversight from the House of Representatives James Comer chairman.

182
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: And what they did was they put out video after

183
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: video after video. Andrew Bates, former senior Deputy Press Secretary,

184
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Anita Dunn, former Senior and Communications for the President, Ashley Williams,

185
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: former Deputy Assistant to the President for Strategic Outreach, Bruce Reid,

186
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: former deputy chief of staff. We've got Jeffrey Zint's former

187
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain is in there,

188
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: carin John Pierre. Michael Donellan is a former senior aide

189
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: to the President. He's the one that told them that, hey,

190
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: if Biden gets elected, I'm in for a four million

191
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: dollar bonus. Four million dollar bonus. Is that how you

192
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: you really want the staff to operate at the White House.

193
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Steve Rochetti, former counselor to the President. All these depositions

194
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: are out there, and it goes on and on and on. Alison,

195
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Claremont County, how are you tonight?

196
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 6: Very well? I hope you can say the same.

197
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is a huge scandal. This

198
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: is a huge deal. How about this guy? Hey, look,

199
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: I see the president every day. Uh, he's not declining,

200
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: he's good, he's solid, asking some really tough questions. And

201
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: then it turns out he met with him twice in

202
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: person over two years.

203
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 6: Well, not only that, just how stupid do they think

204
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 6: the public is? I mean, we saw Biden. He could

205
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 6: barely walk.

206
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: They think, Alice, they think we are a bunch of chumps,

207
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,479
Speaker 1: is what they think. This is. This is so consistent

208
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: over the years when we when we see things. I

209
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: remember I did a radio show one time back when

210
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: Barack Obama was running for reelection and it was on

211
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: a Saturday. I was on on a Saturday. It was

212
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: Saturday morning. It might have been I think it was

213
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: the nine to noon show that Mike Allen does now.

214
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: And I played a SoundBite. I played it four or

215
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: five times, and it was Michelle Obama and she was

216
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: on a podcast or some radio show, and she was

217
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: talking about getting people out to the polls. She says, Hey,

218
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: go out and get that knucklehead next door, go out

219
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: and get that lazy cousin of yours, Go out and

220
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: get and she's describing and she's just and this is

221
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:48,119
Speaker 1: how she's describing people that you, as a good loyal Democrat,

222
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: had to do, was go out and get and get

223
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: these these these ne'er do wells and these low lifes

224
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: and get them to the polls. That is and she

225
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: was and I say, and I, ladies say, listen to

226
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: what she says. This is how she's describing her voters.

227
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: This is what they this is how they think of people.

228
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: And all these people in the White House thought, hey,

229
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: look we everyone can see Joe Biden is going down

230
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: the tube. But if we sit here and we tell them, look,

231
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: we're with Biden every day, I mean, hey, he's good man.

232
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no problem there at all. This is

233
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: because they think they treat us like we are a

234
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: bunch of chumps.

235
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 6: They do. You have to feel sorry for someone who

236
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 6: has to be with Biden every day.

237
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: Anyway, Oh my god, unbelievable.

238
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 6: It was. It's a disgrace, the way they're the way

239
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 6: they talk down to us. The same thing in the

240
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 6: city of Cincinnati.

241
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the city is the condescension. Tam Purvall is

242
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: up there. I mean, they're they they want they want

243
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: ultimate strict control over every aspect of this. And now

244
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: the curtain, the curtain has been revealed on this and

245
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: we see just how just how bush league this operation

246
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: at city Hall really is.

247
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 6: The curtain fell down. We can see how small the

248
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 6: way it is.

249
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: That's a great movie.

250
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 7: Oh yes, it was no.

251
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: Attention to that man behind the Gooden.

252
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 6: You don't you almost feel embarrassed for pure val Does

253
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 6: he really believe what he is saying and he's actually

254
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 6: talking to people and saying the things he's doing, what

255
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 6: he is doing to the former chief of police publicly

256
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 6: embarrassing this woman, and he's well, he does he doesn't care, No,

257
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 6: he doesn't care. This man wants power.

258
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: The only thing, the only thing he cares about is

259
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: being mayor. And what's what's the next step, what's the

260
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: next step up the political ladder.

261
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 6: He wants Washington and I think, uh, I think he

262
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 6: would try, would have tried for governor. Accept as a

263
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 6: great guy, I can't think.

264
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 7: Of his name.

265
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 6: Who's who's going to probably yeah, I don't know.

266
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: I think if you're governor, I think I think you

267
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: actually have to do some work. I don't think aft

268
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: tab is really interested in doing any work. I really know.

269
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: You you know, if you get point, if you get

270
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: elected to Congress, or you become a senator. And there's

271
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: plenty of congressmen and senators, senators up there that that

272
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: literally do nothing. You can you can go to Washington

273
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: and you can skate. You can skate and skate and

274
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: just rake in a nice salary, makes some make some

275
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: good trades on the stock market with your inside information.

276
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: And I really think that's what Aftab is looking for.

277
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: I think that's it in the long run. I think

278
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: that really what he wants. He doesn't want he he

279
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: doesn't want any part of this thing going on with

280
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: the police chief. This, I mean, this is her life,

281
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: this is this is this is her world series right.

282
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 6: Here, poor chief Age. What a wonderful woman.

283
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: Well, she didn't do herself. Look and she had a coach.

284
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: She didn't do herself any favors. When she blamed the

285
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: media for showing showing that video the people getting beat

286
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: up on the street and she didn't do herself any

287
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: favors when she, you know, talked about, hey, if you're

288
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: going to come to our city, you better learn how

289
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: to behave. Didn't do herself any favors there. But in

290
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: the big scheme of things, it's really not enough for

291
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: them to decide to go down this road.

292
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 6: And she's being an escapegoat, absolutely, and he's disgusting.

Speaker 1: edition of the Midweek Crisis. See, when I think of

313
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: voting in Ohio, I think we have a pretty secure

314
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: system here and that is because the Secretary of State,

315
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: Frank LeRose, has done, I think a really good job

316
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: of making sure that our elections are on the up

317
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: and up. And he has just come out with word

318
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: of a massive voter fraud scheme that's been going on

319
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: here in the state of Ohio, and he's referred over

320
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: one thousand non citizens to the Justice Department for unlawfully

321
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: registering to vote. The Rose goes on to say that

322
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty seven of those individuals appear to

323
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: have cast illegal ballots in federal elections going back to

324
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So this is the kind of work that

325
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: needs to happen on a regular basis. I think we're

326
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: lucky to have a guy like Frank LeRose in the

327
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: Secretary of States office, who takes this kind of stuff seriously,

328
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: and so he has broken it down. He sent this

329
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: letter to the Department of Justice Criminal Division on these referrals,

330
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: and so he's got one thousand, eighty four non citizens

331
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: unlawfully registered to vote, one hundred and sixty seven non

332
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: citizens who appear to have actually cast balance, ninety nine

333
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: individuals who allegedly voted in two states during the same election.

334
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: Sixteen individuals who allegedly voted twice in Ohio in a

335
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: single election. Fourteen who allegedly voted after their death, which

336
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: is I don't know how you do that, but apparently

337
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: these individuals managed to pull that off. They were dead

338
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: and voted anyway. Four individuals suspected of ballot harvesting. Two

339
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: who allegedly register at false residences. Now, when you look

340
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: at these numbers, I don't know how many. I think

341
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: the population in Ohio is twenty four twenty five million,

342
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: not to look that up, so the numbers are not huge.

343
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: But to me, this demonstrates the diligence that this guy

344
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: has to weed this kind of stuff out. You're going

345
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: to send twelve hundred and thirteen hundred individuals to the

346
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: Department of Justice and refer them for criminal investigation. It's fantastic.

347
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: This is why Ohio should be looked at as a

348
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: model for the rest of the country. And so when

349
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 1: we have things like this, well you get those on

350
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 1: the left who want to cry about voter suppression and

351
00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: disenfranchising voters and all that kind of nonsense. Now this

352
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: is just doing what's right. We should not have individuals

353
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: who are in the country unlawfully voting in elections. Why

354
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: is that such a hard concept to to get your

355
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: head around. Larrose told the DOJ that the evidence was

356
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: collected through years of careful investigation and cooperation with local prosecutors.

357
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: He noted previous referrals to county officials had produced inconsistent outcomes,

358
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: but with a new administration of the DOJ expressing interest

359
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: in prosecuting federal election crimes, his office is formerly referring

360
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: all relevant materials for consideration. He says, these cases have

361
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: encountered varying degrees of adjudication from Ohio's eighty eight county prosecutors.

362
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: We have an executive administration at the White House and

363
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: Department that has expressed interest in actively actively reviewing and

364
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: prosecuting evidence of federal election crimes. So he's referring these materials.

365
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: The Secretary is later also letter also credits can constructive

366
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: feedback from state and local prosecutors for helping his office

367
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: improve the quality of evidence referred to for consideration. So

368
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: when these things happen, this makes voting better for everyone.

369
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: It waters down your vote that much less when you

370
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: get these kind of people out of there and get

371
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: these kind of these kind of things cleaned up that

372
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: need to be cleaned up. So I say, Frank LeRose

373
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: is to one a great job on that front.

374
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 8: Man.

375
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: More stuff out has come out about Montani over the weekend.

376
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: We talked, We talked about that last time we were

377
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: on this is uh the The New York Times is

378
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: written a piece about Mondannie and they they talk about Mondannie,

379
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: how he's getting all these uh these Islamophobic comments thrown

380
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: his way and all they're doing. I mean, The New

381
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: York Times is just actively campaigning for him.

382
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 7: You know.

383
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: I think it's one thing to go after this guy

384
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: for being a communist, for being a socialist, but the

385
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: rest of it, when you talk about being an Islamist,

386
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: anyone that criticizes him for, you know, meeting with a

387
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 1: mom's that were connected to the World Trade Center bombing,

388
00:24:56,040 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: when he lies about his aunt didn't want to wear

389
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: a job after nine to eleven because she felt uncomfortable

390
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: on the subway, claiming victimhood. The New York Times writes,

391
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: in the closing days of the race for mayor of

392
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: New York City, Mandani, the Democrat front runner, has faced

393
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: a barrage of faith or ethnicity based attacks from his opponents,

394
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: and this is what typically happens, and any criticism of

395
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: his policies, of things he said, refusing to refusing to

396
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: speak negatively about the Islamic Caliphate, those sort of things,

397
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: to what did you know did disavow certain actions terrorist actions?

398
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: Things like that. If you criticize that, well then you're

399
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: just you're just an Islami foote. Mister Mondonnie responded to

400
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: the attacks in a ten minute address on Friday, denouncing

401
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: the rhetoric and divisiveness while embracing his faith. That's great.

402
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 1: For as long as we have lived, we have known

403
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: that no matter what anyone says, there are still certain

404
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: forms of hate that are acceptable in the city. Islamophobia

405
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: is not seen as inexcusable. So he's getting he's getting

406
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: backed up by the New York Times on this, but

407
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: that that, you know, you talk about an absolute mess,

408
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: and we've got a mess here in Cincinnati, and with

409
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: Mondanni going out there this and then there was a

410
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: video that came out from two thousand and three, and

411
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: this is a video of Mondannie speaking at a Democrat

412
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: Socialist of America national convention and he was the keynote

413
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: speaker there and one of the things he said, and

414
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: I didn't pull off this cut for the air because

415
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: of the sound quality is really not that great. But

416
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: one of the things he says, he says is that

417
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: we have to make it clear that when the boot

418
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: of the New York Police Department, the NYPD is on

419
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: your neck, it's been laced by the IDF. So even

420
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and three, this is a guy

421
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: who was going around blaming Israel for any issues, any

422
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: problems they might have in New York City. That's the

423
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: kind of guy he is. And then when you criticize that,

424
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: the New York Times comes out and says, oh, look,

425
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: you're an islamaphone. There's something wrong with you. It's ten o'clock.

426
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: We got to get to the news and then Tom

427
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: King will be here after the top of the hour

428
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: and we'll talk about all kinds of interesting stuff. Hope

429
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: you can hang around for that. Dan Carroll, the Midweek

430
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: Crisis on seven hundred WLW. All right back on the

431
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: Big one, seven hundred W LW ten oh seven, Wednesday

432
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: Night edition of the Midweek Crisis. I'm Dan Carroll, glad

433
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: to be here, Glad you are here as well, and

434
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: always glad to have in my buddy Tom King, who

435
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: is the general counsel for the Republican Party in the

436
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. And Tom King, great for you to

437
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: be here. How are you tonight, sir?

438
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 8: And thank you? Oh I'm just great. Thanks Dan, always

439
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 8: glad to be with you.

440
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: So I remember when I think you and I might

441
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: have spoken when this this auto pen thing first came out,

442
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: and I asked the question, I said, is this a

443
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: big deal? Is this a big deal that the you know,

444
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: Biden may have signed off on some stuff using the

445
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: All presidents use the auto pen for different things. But

446
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: if he would have signed off on let's say, pardons

447
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: are signed off or the use the autopen for executive

448
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: orders or other serious policy matters. It looks like it's

449
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: it's a huge thing. And you know, we have the

450
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: specter now of the Committee on Oversight, chaired by James Comer,

451
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: putting out their report today on the autopen. Comer says,

452
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: it's the biggest political scandal in US history. Then Tom King,

453
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: that may be a little bit of melodrama there, But

454
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: when I look at the way this Biden White House

455
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: conducted business, I really think it is it's an important matter,

456
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: and I think it is a pretty big scandal.

457
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 8: Oh, I think you're right, Dan. I think it underscores

458
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 8: the whole operation of the Biden White House was operating

459
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 8: on Autopen's up the you know, the significance of this is,

460
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 8: I mean, you can have autopen to sign autographs that

461
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 8: they send to kids or people write in and they

462
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 8: want a picture of the of the president, and they

463
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 8: use a lot depends all the time. But the significant

464
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 8: is significance is that when you have a pardon involved,

465
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 8: or you have the commutation of a criminal sentence involved,

466
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 8: there has to be some conscious thought and deliberation done

467
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 8: by the president. You know, it can't be these things

468
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 8: can't be delegated to his chief of staff, which is

469
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 8: what the COMA report looks like. It's indicating that the

470
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 8: chief of staff was orchestrating this stuff, and that Biden

471
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 8: was talking in generalities, and by Hunter Bidens, I think

472
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 8: has revealed some of this too, that he was involved

473
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 8: in in these discussions, and they were talking in generalities

474
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 8: about classes of different people who were imprisoned or were sentenced,

475
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 8: and so there weren't discussions about specific pardons or specific commutations,

476
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 8: which explains how they could have possibly done thousands of

477
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 8: these things that at one time Biden obviously could not

478
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 8: have been up to discussing every one of these cases.

479
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 8: And I think that's what the Constitution calls for, is

480
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 8: a conscious, knowing, intelligent review by the President of the

481
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 8: United States making a decision, not somebody saying release all

482
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 8: the people that have this particular type of conviction or

483
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 8: are in jail for these particular offenses. I don't think

484
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 8: that's what was ever intended, and I think that's why

485
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 8: it's a big deal.

486
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: The notion that you're going to go back and review

487
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: these different You've got these pardons in some cases, you've

488
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: got executive orders in some cases. The notion you're going

489
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: to go back and review these things. I don't know

490
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: that that's ever been done before, that has Are you

491
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: aware that any of these in history have ever been

492
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: reviewed in such a way to invalidate with the idea

493
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: of invalidating them and saying, hey, look, I know you

494
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: got a pardon at him shift, but it really doesn't

495
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: count because Biden didn't know what the heck he was doing.

496
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 8: I don't believe this has ever happened before, and and

497
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 8: uh or even been alleged before. And the the the issue,

498
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 8: of course is that you've got people who were in

499
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 8: jail that are out of jail. You've got people who

500
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 8: are whose records have been expunged now, and and you've

501
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 8: got all there's all sorts of problems trying to go

502
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 8: back and reverse it, you know, And of course you'll

503
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 8: have Biden saying that that he was consciously doing all

504
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 8: these things when when it when the evidence appears to

505
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 8: be contrary to that.

506
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they talked about in the in the the the

507
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: press release that they Comera put out, he talks about

508
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: political operatives like Anita Dunn Interfield and interfered in medical decisions,

509
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: blocking cognitive tests to protect Biden's re election prospects. And

510
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: then there was testimony from one of the of those

511
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: in the inner circle with and and this guy, Michael Donellan,

512
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: a former senior aide to to Biden, who talks about

513
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: his salary was for for I didn't know senior aids

514
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: in the White House made were making four million dollars

515
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: a year. First of all, where is that salary coming from?

516
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: And then he talked about he talked about how he

517
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: was in line for a four million dollar bonus if.

518
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 8: He got four million, and he would he got four million,

519
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 8: and he was going to get four million more. Watched

520
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 8: if you watch that deposition, if you watch the the

521
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 8: interrogation that took place with him, you would wonder how

522
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 8: anybody would pay him four thousand dollars, let alone four

523
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 8: million dollars. And he stumbled, he stumbled on every question,

524
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 8: and and and the pauses, the pregnant pauses of in

525
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 8: his testimony were so unbelievable that I just sat there

526
00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 8: in amazement and shook my head. But but go pay

527
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 8: this guy four million dollars if Joe Biden got reelected,

528
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 8: and having already paid him four million dollars, was just unbelievable.

529
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 8: You know, sor senior White House age would make somewhere

530
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 8: in the neighborhood of close to two hundred thousand dollars,

531
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 8: maybe one hundred and eighty seven something like that. That's

532
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 8: what people make in the White House. They don't make

533
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 8: four million dollars.

534
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: Well, apparently this guy did. And I'm just I was

535
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: I heard that, and I'm thinking myself, man, we've really

536
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: been missing the boat on this this kind of stuff.

537
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,280
Speaker 8: What I meant by that is they're not supposed to make.

538
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: For Yeah, and then you know, a little bonus if

539
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: he gets elected in twenty twenty four.

540
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 6: So he so.

541
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: But my point is is that the way this administration

542
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: was running, people were incentivized to pull the wool over

543
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: the American people's eyes, to create a false narrative, to

544
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: tell them that, yes, even though you see this guy

545
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: reaching around to shake hands with no one who's there,

546
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: doesn't know where he's going, stops in the middle of

547
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: a sentence, as Camp put a couple of sentences, even

548
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: though we see all this kind of stuff going on. No,

549
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 1: it's it's perfectly fine. Though you know, I played the

550
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: SoundBite from the one guy who testified he was a

551
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: Biden spokesperson, Ian SAMs, and he went on MSNBC talking about, well,

552
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: you know this this narrative that Joe Biden has lost

553
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: his fastball, that he doesn't really pay attention, doesn't know

554
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: what's going on. He said, that's not what we see

555
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: every day. And it turned out over the span of

556
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 1: two years he had two in person meetings with Joe Biden.

557
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, he's out there talking people, creating this this

558
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: idea that he sits with Biden and meets with him

559
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: every single day.

560
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 8: Listen, all you got to do is you could you

561
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 8: could go as high up as the as the Prime

562
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 8: Minister of Italy asked her how he was. If you remember,

563
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 8: you remember he was pointed in the wrong direction. She

564
00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 8: had to spin him around with the other world leader.

565
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the easy had to step into at one point.

566
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: As I recall, that's true.

567
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,799
Speaker 8: My my, my old friend Jim Matthews used to say,

568
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 8: if it looks like a duck, and it quacks like

569
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 8: a duck in and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck.

570
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 8: So this was a duck in terms of his behavior.

571
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: So but I think Tom King that when you look

572
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 1: at the way this administration reacts towards the American people.

573
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: They really treat us with contempt. They really treat us

574
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: with this this sense of arrogance, that that we're just

575
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: a bunch of dupes, that we are only here as

576
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: a nuisance to them carrying out their agenda. And they

577
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,479
Speaker 1: treat us like a bunch of chumps. And and every

578
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: time the curtain gets pulled back a little bit and

579
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: we see things like this revealed, but we see the

580
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: same type of behavior over and over and over again.

581
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 8: Well, it's really dangerous. It's these are dangerous views that

582
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 8: they hold that they that they know better than we do,

583
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 8: they know better than the electorate does, they know better

584
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 8: than than the American people do. And and at the end,

585
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 8: the end justifies the means. You know, we've heard, we

586
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 8: know where that philosophy comes from. And you can see

587
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 8: it at work. It's about it's about to mature and

588
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 8: hopefully not, but it looks like it will in New

589
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 8: York City in this Monday election. That's you know, the

590
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 8: end justifies the means absolutely.

591
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: And then when you look at I don't know how

592
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: much you've read about the Arctic frost investigation that was

593
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: being run. But now we've come to find out that

594
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and fifty people who were in

595
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: the Trump orbits were being scrutinized by the FBI. So

596
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: the Left loves to complain about the weaponization of the

597
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: Justice Department. They love to complain about the weaponization of

598
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: the different institutions of the federal government. And now we

599
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: find out that one hundred and fifty individuals in the

600
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 1: who were close to Trump were being scrutiny by the

601
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: FBI under the direction of who, under the direction it's

602
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: of of the White House, of Joe Biden. With Joe

603
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: Biden able to direct these operations with someone who this is.

604
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: This is more absolute scandalous behavior that to my way

605
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: of thinking, needs to be investigated and needs to be

606
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: brought out to the light of day.

607
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 8: I couldn't agree with you more. Thank goodness that Patel

608
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 8: is in there as as a director of the FBI.

609
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 8: That's the only way we're going to get to the

610
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 8: bottom of this stuff. And I'm I I'm involved. Not

611
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 8: only was I familiar with this, but my friend and

612
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 8: my congressman and uh I happen to be the treasurer

613
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 8: of his campaign. Mike Kelly, who's been in Congress for

614
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 8: eight terms. But Mike, Mike's Kelly, Mike Kelly's phone. There

615
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 8: were eight Senators and one congressman, and the one Congressman

616
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 8: was Mike Kelly. And UH, it's just it's OUTRAGEEDS. When

617
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 8: I when I saw the report, I texted Mike and

618
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 8: and asked him about it and said, you know, I

619
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 8: can't believe it. They got your day, went after your phone.

620
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 8: Of course they went after Mike because Mike was very

621
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 8: outspoken about protecting the president and defending the president. And UH.

622
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 8: And of course I was involved in in advising the

623
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 8: electors UH in Pennsylvania on this so called fake electors stuff,

624
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 8: you know. UH, and so I'm familiar with a lot

625
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 8: of this stuff. But the the this this operation that

626
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 8: was conducted is is really an affront to the to

627
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 8: UH democracy. When we hear on the left all this

628
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 8: stuff about protecting democracy, the attack on democracy is coming

629
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 8: from the left. It's this kind of stuff that's that's

630
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 8: the most dangerous, UH, stuff that we've ever seen in

631
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 8: America that they're that they're doing. So when they talk

632
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 8: about this is as bad as Watergate or equal to Watergate,

633
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 8: I think it's every every bit as bad.

634
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: It makes Watergate looks like look like an afternoon in

635
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: the park. It looks like child's play. It's nick kind

636
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: of stuff.

637
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 8: Nixon wasn't involved with the burglars. But Nixon, Nixon knew

638
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 8: about the erasure of part of the tape. That's nothing

639
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 8: compared to what these guys. What these guys were doing

640
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 8: would make Richard Nixon look like an amateur.

641
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and and and what and what was the justification

642
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: for for this type of investigation or this this type

643
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: of scrutiny or or the phone you know, the phones

644
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: to be tapped by these individuals, What was the fake

645
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: and which which which Comy knew was fake when he

646
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: signed off on How much trouble do you think I

647
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 1: mean to show? You think Comy is in with the with.

648
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 8: The trial Listen, any any time you're indicted by by

649
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 8: a federal grand jury and and face federal charges, that's

650
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 8: that's very serious, you know. So they'll try to downplay

651
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 8: it and say, well, it's the Trump administration, it's Trump

652
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 8: going after his enemies, et cetera. But listen, this is

653
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 8: more than just Trump enemies. These are Trump enemies because

654
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 8: of what they did to Trump that what they what

655
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 8: they tried to do to Trump, theawfare that they engaged

656
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 8: in is unprecedented. And as I've said to you before,

657
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 8: and you know this for a fact, they went after

658
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 8: all of us. They went you know, I'm the general

659
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 8: counsel of Pennsylvania Republican Party. As you know, they went

660
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 8: after us. They went after the lawyers that I work with.

661
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 8: They want they went after the lawyers here in Pennsylvania

662
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 8: and elsewhere. They started a fund dash ll started this

663
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 8: committee to try to disbar lawyers, anybody who was involved

664
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 8: in supporting the president in the twenty twenty election. They

665
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 8: named them by names, They identified these people. They tried

666
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 8: to disgrace them. They went after all of us and

667
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 8: and unsuccessfully in many instances, including me. So they but

668
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 8: they but they nonetheless they tried and uh, and it's

669
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,240
Speaker 8: just all part of a scheme to stay in power.

670
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 8: And it was all about who's in power and with

671
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 8: whether Joe Biden was incompetent or he wasn't incompetent, they

672
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 8: didn't care. And so using the autopen to sign massive

673
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 8: numbers of pardons to effectuate their policies and controlling the

674
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 8: White House. You know, you have to go back to

675
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 8: almost the Woodrow Wilson's you know, when Wilson suffered a

676
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 8: stroke and the country was found out later that his

677
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 8: wife was actually running the White House. It's it's not

678
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 8: dissimilar to that, except it's much on a much grander

679
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 8: scale the things that they've done here.

680
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see in Pennsylvania you've got a you've got

681
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: an election coming up. Well, we've all got elections coming up,

682
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: but well, I guess one of one of the big

683
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: election items is you've got some Supreme Court justices there

684
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 1: that are up for election, and I see that Obama

685
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: is now inserting himself into that, into that election. Does

686
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: Obama have the kind of juice that he used to

687
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: have in Pennsylvania, Well to be able to sway enough

688
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: voters one way or the other.

689
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 8: He'll be listened, they'll they'll listen to him in Philadelphia, yeah,

690
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 8: but elsewhere not so much. But he did insert himself

691
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 8: into this is an your listeners probably aren't much familiar

692
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 8: with the Pennsylvania system. But you get elected to the

693
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 8: Supreme Court for ten years over here, and then at

694
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 8: the end of your ten year term, you run again.

695
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 8: But you don't run against anyone. You just get a

696
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 8: yes or a no vote, so yes to get another

697
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 8: ten years or no to not get another ten years.

698
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 8: So there's millions of dollars pouring in here on this

699
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 8: yes and no vote. There are three Democrats. We have

700
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 8: seven justices total, so these are three Democratic justices all

701
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 8: elected in the same at the same time, and they've

702
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 8: they've had a very controversial agenda, including extending out our

703
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 8: elections over here and a number of controversial decisions. They

704
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,560
Speaker 8: authorized drop boxes when the legislature never authorized them, and

705
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 8: they've done just myriad of things that are that are

706
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 8: complained about by by many people here. So's it'll be

707
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 8: interesting to see. We've only ever had one justice not retained,

708
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 8: and that was because it was the time of a

709
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 8: of a of a very unpopular pay raise that the

710
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 8: Supreme Court went along with, and and Russell Niagro was

711
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 8: was voted out of office. And so there is at

712
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 8: least some precedent for it. But there's a heavy duty

713
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 8: campaign going on on on over here. The TV is

714
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 8: TV stations that are full of yes and no advertising,

715
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 8: and now we've got people nationally involved in it, including

716
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 8: former President Obama. So it's it'll be an interesting night

717
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 8: to see.

718
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: All I know is that when we have elections like

719
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,959
Speaker 1: that around here, usually yes means no and no means yes.

720
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,959
Speaker 1: So it gets totally confusing and no one is ever

721
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: exactly sure what they're voting for.

722
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 8: So listen, in Pennsylvania, the last one, the last one

723
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 8: of these, we had we had some of the machines

724
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 8: read some you know, they the Democrats want us to

725
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 8: believe that that all these voting machines are sancri sacked,

726
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 8: nothing can happen and totally but we had oh yeah,

727
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 8: in north in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. Uh, we had the machines.

728
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 8: When you voted yes, it registered no, and when you

729
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 8: voted no, it registered yes.

730
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 4: Right.

731
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 8: That was the That was the twenty three election in Pennsylvania.

732
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: That that that is amazing. All right, it's Tom King.

733
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: It's so great to have you on it again. And

734
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: I've got about thirty seconds left here. I saw some analysis,

735
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: uh and there the person on TV was talking about

736
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to Jack Smith, when it comes to Komy,

737
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to Latitia James, they're saying, all this stuff,

738
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: it's all baked in the cake. They're all going to

739
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: get off of a slap on the wrist, yes or no, Well,

740
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: we'll let you get what's coming to them.

741
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 8: In a in the sane world, I think that they're

742
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 8: entitled to what's coming to them. So I hope they

743
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 8: don't get off with a slap on the risk, all right,

744
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 8: and you know, Letitia James is going to get what

745
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 8: she deserves, I hope down there in Virginia.

746
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 1: So all right, we'll see what happens. But Tom King

747
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: has always been I appreciate the time, love having you on.

748
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: Keep up the great work in Pennsylvania, and we'll be

749
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: hopefully talking again before too long.

750
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 8: Thanks for having me, Dan.

751
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Tom King from the Great

752
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Ten twenty five, seven hundred WLW, seven

753
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: hundred WLW. It is the Wednesday night edition of the

754
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 1: Midweek Crisis. I'm Dan Carroll, and an hour ago we

755
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: were supposed to speak with Kevin Aldrich of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

756
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: He wasn't here an hour ago, but he's here now.

757
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 1: Kevin Aldridge, What will we do without cell phones and

758
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: computers and stuff? What will we do without him?

759
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 7: Listen, man, you can't live with him, and can't live

760
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 7: without him.

761
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 1: I say that all the time. We need low tech

762
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: solutions for everything thing. But I appreciate I appreciate you

763
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: being here now in your job as the opinion editor

764
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: at the Inquirer. I'm guessing you're getting all kinds of

765
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: letters right now with people opining about what's happening with

766
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: the mayor and the city manager and the chief of

767
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 1: police and and all and all the rest of it.

768
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: What give me your your your overview, your thumbnail sketch

769
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: of what the situation is at city Hall right now,

770
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: because it looks like it's an absolute mess.

771
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think that's kind of the consensus of

772
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 7: like what I've been hearing from most readers who've been

773
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 7: writing in. I see people kind of feel like, you know,

774
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 7: that the police chief is kind of being scapegoaded here.

775
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 7: There's a lot of questions about, you know, who's in

776
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 7: charge over the city all and actually palling the shots,

777
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 7: and it just really seems like there's, uh, there's kind

778
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 7: of really a lack of leadership over there right now.

779
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 7: You know, most people on city most of the council

780
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 7: members don't even seem to know what's going on if

781
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 7: you listen to them, If you hear how they've been

782
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 7: quoted in the media and how they talk, they don't

783
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,799
Speaker 7: they don't even really know kind of what's going on, and.

784
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: So it is that a problem to stop. Let me

785
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: just I hate to interrupt you right there, but you

786
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: mentioned the city councilor do you think that's a problem.

787
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,959
Speaker 1: Do you think that's an issue that and I've heard

788
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: some different city council members on this radio station of

789
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: the radio station, do you think that's an issue that

790
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: they really are clueless as to what is going on

791
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: down the hall at the or down the flight of

792
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: stairs at the city manager's office.

793
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I do. I mean, I I think that they

794
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 7: should know what's going on. Information, you know, should be

795
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 7: being shared with them, particularly when you're talking about the

796
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 7: police chief and crime being as much of a topic

797
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 7: as it is. It's just not a good look when

798
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 7: you've got your council members who are in the dark.

799
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 7: They can't answer the questions that they're that the constituents

800
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 7: want to know, and it seems like they don't even

801
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 7: have the answers that they themselves might want to have.

802
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 7: So I think that I think that is a little

803
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 7: bit of a problem. And again I think It just

804
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 7: leads to this sense among people that folks over there

805
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 7: don't really kind of know what's going on or what

806
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 7: they're doing, and and and you know, that's that's a

807
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 7: tough spot to be in. You know, about a week before.

808
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: The election, when a week or so ago, I was

809
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: filling in for Bill Cunningham, you were sitting in for

810
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: our buddy Lincoln Ware over the buzz. I think that

811
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: audience might be slightly different than this audience. There might

812
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: be a little bit of overlap there. But what were

813
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: you hearing from the people that's that we're calling in

814
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: that day when you were sitting in for lincoln Ware

815
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: because this story was breaking at that time when you

816
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: were on the air.

817
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 7: Then, Yeah, I think there's kind of a similar feeling

818
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 7: that folks are are just kind of wondering what's going on.

819
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 7: I think they feel like this whole thing with the

820
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 7: police chief is a bit of a mess. There's questions about,

821
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 7: you know, how much money the city is wasting potentially

822
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 7: on this. Now. The flip side of that is, you

823
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 7: know a lot of the callers who call in are

824
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 7: supportive of the Democrats on council, So there's sort of

825
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 7: this there's this mix of being dissatisfied with the current

826
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 7: council and the way that things are going. But I

827
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 7: also think there's this sense that as much as they

828
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 7: might be dissatisfied with the job that the mayor is

829
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 7: doing in some aspects, they're not dissatisfied enough to where

830
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 7: they're probably not going to cast a ballot for him. Now,

831
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 7: I think for the other members of city Council, you know,

832
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 7: there it'll be a question there because you know, people

833
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 7: are picking their candidates and who they want, and I

834
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 7: think there's some resistance to this notion of just kind

835
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 7: of going in and voting for the straight Democratic slate,

836
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 7: which we know that that Democratic slate has had a

837
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 7: lot of power in the City of Cincinnati over the

838
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 7: years of late. But but you know, I heard a

839
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 7: few people pushing back against that and encouraging people to

840
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 7: kind of you know, freethink and do their research and

841
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 7: maybe consider some of the other candidates who are on there,

842
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 7: because I think that you know, there there are some

843
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 7: members on council who are not being you know, who

844
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 7: are not being looked at in high favor, you know,

845
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 7: amongst some of the callers who called in there. So

846
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 7: it'll be an interesting thing to see how how this

847
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 7: race race shakes out and who doesn't make it back

848
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 7: on and what new faces we see after next two year.

849
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to I want to get back to

850
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: city council in a minute. But this move by the

851
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: city manager to hire Frost Brown Todd uh allow the

852
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: law firm to investigate the chief What what do you

853
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 1: make of this move? And does this provide the type

854
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: of separation from the from I guess the city manager's

855
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: office and the mayor to having this law firm do

856
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: the investigation to I guess avoid the appearance of political

857
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 1: considerations being involved here.

858
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, not really. And I'll say I'll say this for

859
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 7: a couple of different reasons. One I I I actually

860
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 7: think it's it's a bit of a of a waste

861
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 7: of taxpayer money. And here's the reason why I say that. Yeah, yeah, well,

862
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 7: you know, hey, that may be a position, you know,

863
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 7: who knows, another another position that we need, you know,

864
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 7: somewhere else in the city where that money could be going.

865
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 7: Who knows. Maybe that's maybe that's more overtime for police

866
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 7: officers that we need, or maybe even another position I

867
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 7: don't I don't know, or or on the way to

868
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 7: another position. But I guess my point would be when

869
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 7: I first heard about this and I saw the things

870
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 7: that the law firm was looking at, my first thought was, well,

871
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 7: aren't these Doesn't the police chief get an annual evaluation

872
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 7: every year or every six months, you know, and and

873
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 7: wouldn't these these questions that you're asking this law firm

874
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 7: to look into. Wouldn't these be things that you know,

875
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 7: would be asked of a police chief during any evaluation.

876
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 7: And if there were issues of the sort that they're

877
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 7: trying to have this firm look into, shouldn't that have

878
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 7: come out in sort of like a normal HR evaluation

879
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 7: process on the police chief? That was my first question

880
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 7: is what does her personnel file say about what she's

881
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 7: been doing over the last, you know, a couple of

882
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 7: years as the police chief? And if there were issues,

883
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 7: wouldn't the city manager and the mayor and council shouldn't

884
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:41,280
Speaker 7: they have been apprized of that or known that already.

885
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 7: So I think that's the first thing that kind of

886
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 7: jumped in my mind when I saw that hire this firm,

887
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 7: and why I say it's a bit of a waste

888
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 7: of money. The other thing is is I think that

889
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,720
Speaker 7: you know, look, if you don't think the police chief

890
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 7: is up to the job, you know, the mayor or

891
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 7: the city manager, if they feel this way and they

892
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 7: have evidence of her lack of performance, then just go

893
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 7: ahead and pull the trigger, you know, make the decision.

894
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 7: This seems to me to be a way for them

895
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 7: to kind of shift the results of the outcome of

896
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,200
Speaker 7: this investigation off of them, so that they can say, see,

897
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 7: this isn't us.

898
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 1: This is what the law.

899
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 7: Firm found, and now we have to move on, move

900
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 7: on their findings. And so I think it's just another

901
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 7: way for them to kind of shift accountability and responsibility

902
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 7: away from themselves where they can point to someone else.

903
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 7: The other thing that I think is that there's a

904
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 7: close I think, according to the contract, there's a very

905
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 7: close relationship between the city solicitor and this law firm

906
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:54,880
Speaker 7: where it almost seems like they're not necessarily acting independently

907
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 7: of the city because the city solicitor is so closely

908
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 7: attached to this involved in or at least being reported

909
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 7: to or everything needing to be run through that by

910
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 7: the law firm. So I don't know if there's as

911
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 7: much separation as the city would like to like for

912
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 7: you to think that there is in this case. So

913
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 7: for me, I just think it's, you know, it's a

914
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 7: waste of taxpayer dollars. It's something that the city should have,

915
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 7: should be able to mayor, and the city managers should

916
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 7: be able to do themselves, and they should already have

917
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 7: known this information through their normal evaluation process with the chief.

918
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 7: If they didn't, I think that again, that just makes

919
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 7: it even more of a bad look. And it kind

920
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 7: of looks like they're setting the chief up for an

921
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 7: outcome that they want, because I don't think you pay

922
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 7: a law firm forty thousand bucks or whatever they're getting

923
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 7: paid to come back with the result other.

924
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 1: Than the one you want. Well, that's an excellent point.

925
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, what if this law firm

926
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 1: it does, it does a genuine investigation and comes back

927
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: and says, look, what we found is that the chief

928
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:12,799
Speaker 1: was carrying out the wishes and the desires and the

929
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: policies of you city manager, Sarah Long, and you may

930
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: or have to have purval. What happens if that's the

931
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: findings of their investigation, what are the chances that investigation

932
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 1: is ever going to be made public? And I think

933
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: we see that in this letter, this email that was

934
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: released the other day and uh, and this was a

935
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 1: letter that was dated in August when the chief said that, hey,

936
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 1: we're going to be part of this Hamilton County task Force,

937
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: and then Sharah Long has a problem with that, saying, look,

938
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 1: before you make any public pronouncements, you need to run

939
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: this by me, that this needs to come through my office,

940
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 1: in the office of you know, my person down the hall.

941
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,240
Speaker 1: So it's it seems to me that if this chief

942
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:05,560
Speaker 1: strayed at all from the dictates that were coming from

943
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: the mayor and from the city manager's office, then she

944
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: certainly got called out on it. And to me, that's

945
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:15,040
Speaker 1: what this letter reveals, where they talk about, you know, hey,

946
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,919
Speaker 1: your your announcement caught me off guard and why would

947
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: why would she be bothered by that? It's not as

948
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: as she was facing a withering questioning from the Cincinnati Inquirer.

949
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: Has Sharah Long routinely made herself available to reporters at

950
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 1: the Inquirer who want to ask her questions about different

951
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: policies at city Hall?

952
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I can't you know, Dan, I can't

953
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 7: speak for you know, every reporter at the inquirer and

954
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 7: sort of what what relationship that they have with the

955
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 7: city manager and her ability or their ability to get

956
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 7: return phone calls from her. But I but from what

957
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 7: little did I do know that it has been a

958
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 7: case that she hasn't been, you know, incredibly accessible. I mean,

959
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 7: I think some of that be a matter of you know,

960
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 7: some of the reporting that I think has been done

961
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 7: on her by the inquiry and maybe others have maybe

962
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 7: created a you know, I don't want to say adversarial,

963
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 7: but but not necessarily the type of relationship where you

964
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 7: want to immediately grab the phone and return phone calls.

965
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 1: And so this is part for the course. This is

966
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: this is this, this comes with the territory. I wouldn't

967
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: disagree with you.

968
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 7: I wouldn't disagree with you, but I I, you know,

969
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 7: we live in a time where I feel like, not all,

970
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 7: but but too many politicians are are way too thin

971
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 7: skinned for uh today's environment in terms of how they're

972
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 7: handling some of the coverage and the scrutiny that that

973
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 7: comes along with jobs that are highly that are highly scrutinized,

974
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 7: and you know rightly so, I mean you're serving the public,

975
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 7: and the public has a right to know and and

976
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 7: the public has a lot of expectations and demands on folks,

977
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 7: and so it's a tough job, no doubt. I mean,

978
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 7: you can look at the average tenure of whether it's

979
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 7: a city manager or a police chief, and in cities

980
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 7: the size of Cincinnati or bigger, they're not long. Usually

981
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 7: they're like two or three years, you know, in these

982
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 7: types of jobs, because they are tough, and you there

983
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 7: is a lot of politics involved and high expectations and

984
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 7: big problems and challenges that need to be solved, and

985
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 7: so you got to be built for that kind of thing.

986
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 7: I think.

987
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the consequences of this maybe it obviously a

988
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: f tab Purval is feeling the heat on this, and

989
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: I think that's why a lot of these things got

990
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: set in motion when they did. Do you think there's

991
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: a possibility now that this is gonna be enough to

992
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: put Corey Bowman over the top and and have that

993
00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: wind up in in the mayor's office. You don't see

994
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,479
Speaker 1: that happening. No, No, no, not at all.

995
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 7: I wouldn't. I mean, I certainly wouldn't go to Vaga.

996
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 7: It's with it, I mean, and and Dan, it's it's

997
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 7: just kind of a. It's just kind of a matter

998
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 7: of simple math for me and the fact that Cincinnati

999
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 7: and that Cincinnati is a blue city. I mean, you know,

1000
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 7: the reality is Bowman got be pretty bad in the primary,

1001
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 7: and so he started he start, Yeah, he started out

1002
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 7: in a pretty in a pretty deep hole coming out

1003
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 7: of that primary. And you know, kind of like what

1004
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 7: I was saying when I sat in for the buzz,

1005
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 7: you know, one of the things that you hear is

1006
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 7: it's not that people are necessarily in love with ap

1007
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 7: tab pure Vall, but they're not gonna They're not going

1008
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 7: to That's not enough to make them elect Corey Bowman,

1009
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 7: who's a Republican who you know, whose half brother is

1010
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 7: jd Vance, who many people feel has a connection with MAGA.

1011
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 7: I mean, that's just probably not going to force a

1012
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 7: lot of people who vote Democrat in this environment where

1013
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 7: a lot of Demo Crats have an issue and challenges

1014
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 7: with Donald Trump. I don't think they're going to turn

1015
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 7: their city over to somebody who they would feel like

1016
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 7: might go along with the Trump agenda, which you know,

1017
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 7: uh doesn't mesh with you know how a lot of

1018
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 7: a lot of voters in Cincinnati feel and so or

1019
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 7: at least voters who've traditionally voted in the city, which

1020
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 7: has been largely Democrat. So I don't know that there's

1021
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 7: if there was a I think if there was a

1022
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 7: different alternative mayor, Pureval might be in a little bit

1023
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 7: more trouble. But I just don't think. I just don't

1024
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 7: think Bowman brings enough to the table that even those

1025
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 7: who are who might be Democrats who are disappointed with

1026
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 7: the mayor will shift that sharply toward Corey Bowman.

1027
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: That could be wrong.

1028
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 7: They say sports, that's why they played against Yeah, people

1029
01:01:57,880 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 7: go cast the ballot. So I guess we'll see.

1030
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, by the way, when's the when When is

1031
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the last time we even had a Republican run from

1032
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:07,160
Speaker 1: there in the city of Cincinnati. Is it like two

1033
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: thousand and ten or eight year or something like that.

1034
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: It was a while ago.

1035
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, And it's been I think more than fifty years

1036
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 7: since we've.

1037
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: Had a Republican Absolutely, so.

1038
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 7: It's been it's been a while. It's been a while.

1039
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, or any members of council feeling feeling a little

1040
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: uncomfortable at this point.

1041
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think I think all of them

1042
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:35,200
Speaker 7: have to be. I mean, in some way shape or

1043
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 7: for him. You know, if I had to, if I

1044
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 7: had to handicap and say how many members current members

1045
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 7: of council might make it back on, I think maybe,

1046
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 7: you know, five or six might I like. I like

1047
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 7: Christopher Christopher Smitherman's chance. I like Liz Keating's chance. I

1048
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 7: like Lakita Cole's chance. They're all outside of the Democratic

1049
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 7: slate to get on. I mean, I think they have

1050
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 7: really strong possibilities of being able to crack you know,

1051
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 7: that Democratic stronghold on council. So we'll see how that goes.

1052
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 7: But as far as any particular council members, you know,

1053
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 7: Mika Owens has taken a lot of you know, in

1054
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 7: the black community, she's taken a lot of hits because

1055
01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 7: of her decision to appoint Evan Nolan to that open

1056
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 7: position there. There's still a lot of people who feel,

1057
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 7: you know, some kind of way about that and her

1058
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 7: decision in that case, how much that will come back

1059
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 7: to affect her. I mean, Mika was one of the

1060
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 7: top two, I think two or three vote getters in

1061
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 7: the last election, so I kind of feel the same

1062
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 7: way about her like I feel about the mayor. Are

1063
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 7: are there enough people who are upset about that that

1064
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 7: her support arose that much, that she is and you

1065
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 7: know she isn't one of the nine who gets elected.

1066
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:07,840
Speaker 7: I'm not so sure that that's true. I think, you know,

1067
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 7: Mark Jefferies is probably in pretty good shape. I think

1068
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 7: he he you know, I think he has the support

1069
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 7: in backing and I think the finances in his campaign

1070
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 7: to be able to make a strong run. I kind

1071
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 7: of expect him to maybe make it back on. So

1072
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 7: we'll we'll just have to see.

1073
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: All right, well, Kevin Aldridge, we got to run. But

1074
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate you jumping on late and better late than never,

1075
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: my friend, And I certainly appreciate that.

1076
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 7: Dan always appreciate the opportunity to be on and I

1077
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 7: apologize for that.

1078
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 1: That's all right, that earlier.

1079
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 7: Not being able to get there, But I'm glad we

1080
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 7: were able to able to do it.

1081
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,640

01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: on board.

1098
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 5: No.

1099
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: The poll is out about trust in US media and

1100
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 1: newspapers Legacy media News today is solo that only one

1101
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: in twenty five US adult citizens place a great deal

1102
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 1: of trust and what they are being told by television

1103
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: or reading newspapers. The latest poll by Being Economists conducted

1104
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: October twenty fourth through twenty seventh, Americans were asked to

1105
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: rate the level of confidence they have in various institutions.

1106
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:17,959
Speaker 1: When it came to TV news, just four percent said

1107
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: they had a great deal of trust, while more than

1108
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: half fifty two percent said they had very little trust.

1109
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: Another fourteen percent said they had quite a lot. Thirty

1110
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: percent said they had just some. So trust in what

1111
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: you see on TV, trust in what you read in

1112
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: the newspapers not that great right now, and it hasn't

1113
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: been for a long time. I think one of the

1114
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 1: reasons is because of people like Nicole Wallace and well

1115
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: may I mean maybe even people like me. Look, I

1116
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: get some stuff wrong once in a while, but we're

1117
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: talking really more about news outlets. And so Nicole Wallace

1118
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: is on MSNBC. She also has a podcast, and she

1119
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: was on with the Governor of Illinois a day or

1120
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: so ago, J. D. Pritzker, and they were talking about

1121
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: Trump and Nazis. And you might have heard this by now,

1122
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: but for those who haven't heard it, let's let's take

1123
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: a little review of what that fat slab Pritzker had

1124
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: to say with Nicole Wallace on her podcast Cut One.

1125
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 8: I haven't suggested that that Donald Trump is hitler. I wouldn't.

1126
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't think any Democrat has.

1127
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 9: I actually and I and I think it's a it's

1128
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 9: a smear that they project back on to critics.

1129
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: But I JD.

1130
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 9: Vance called Donald Trump cultural heroin. He called him America's Hitler.

1131
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 9: I mean the the attacks on Donald Trump as a

1132
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 9: fascist came from three generals who worked for him.

1133
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 1: Wallace brutal crit Okay, that's Nicole Wallace says, I don't

1134
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: think any Democrats have Well, As I mentioned, Nicole Wallace

1135
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: has a show on MSNBC. What we've got here is

1136
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes of guests, Democrats, talking heads, pundits,

1137
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: those on the left calling Trump hitler cut number two.

1138
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:26,799
Speaker 8: I haven't suggested that Donald Trump is Hitler. I wouldn't.

1139
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 9: I don't think any Democrat has. I actually, and I

1140
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,280
Speaker 9: think it's a it's a smear that they project back

1141
01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 9: on to critics. What is the natural extension justin if

1142
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 9: he pursues this to Harvard and beyond.

1143
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:44,759
Speaker 10: It was an authoritarian leader several decades back called Olf Hitler.

1144
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,919
Speaker 7: Hitler came to power and the scientist left.

1145
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 9: The military survive in that climate, the same.

1146
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 11: Way that it happened in Russia with Stalin the same

1147
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 11: way it happened with Hitler. Eventually, you get generals and

1148
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 11: admirals that are in there that only tell the leader

1149
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 11: what he or she wants to hear, to the extent that.

1150
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 9: The rule of law, and an assault on the rule

1151
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 9: of law was an obscure, intangible thing. We're now seeing

1152
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 9: it in action.

1153
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 10: If you look back in history, you can see very

1154
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 10: similar parallels taking place that took place in other countries

1155
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 10: that really went down that authoritarian road, including in pre

1156
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 10: World War II Nazi Germany, when Hitler and Nazi officials

1157
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 10: basically took over Frankfort University, which was the bastion of

1158
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 10: independent thoughts and progressive thinking and independent thinking, which is

1159
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 10: what Hitler didn't want.

1160
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 8: And so again, this is what authoritarians do.

1161
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 10: They try to control all of the aspects of social life.

1162
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 12: When Trump talks about peace and Putin talks about peace,

1163
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 12: it's autocrats getting their way, that's it. And muss Leni

1164
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 12: and Hitler said they were being the purveyors of peace.

1165
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: All right, I got the idea. But guest after guest

1166
01:09:55,600 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: after guests on MSNBC and Nicole Wallace's show has said

1167
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: made this comparison of Trump being Hitler, But she said,

1168
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't think any Democrats had Well, you know, one

1169
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: of the reasons I think that people have such a

1170
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: low a low opinion of what they hear on the

1171
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: news is because people like Nicole Wallace just that they

1172
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: just don't pay attention very well. They live in there,

1173
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: they live in their own, their own sort of world,

1174
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and they don't pay attention. So here's a few democrats

1175
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: I found. And look, this didn't take very long. This

1176
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,640
Speaker 1: was this, it was it was time to consider me

1177
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,639
Speaker 1: because I gotta I gotta put it on the thing.

1178
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: I got to send it to Joe, he's got to

1179
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 1: download it.

1180
01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 7: Now.

1181
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 1: This didn't take very long to find democrats who have

1182
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: compared Trump to Hitler. And maybe you know you you

1183
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but we've got one here

1184
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,879
Speaker 1: from someone named Hillary Clinton. I think Hillary is a Democrat.

1185
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: Here's what she had to say about Trump and Hitler.

1186
01:11:02,880 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 1: Cut three.

1187
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 13: People would get legitimately elected, and then they would try

1188
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 13: to do away with elections, and do away with opposition,

1189
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 13: and do away with a free press. And you could

1190
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 13: see it in countries where well Hitler was duly elected, right,

1191
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 13: and so all of a sudden, somebody with those tendencies,

1192
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 13: though dictatorial authoritarian tendencies, would be like, Okay, we're gonna

1193
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 13: shut this down. We're going to throw these people in jail.

1194
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 13: And they didn't usually telegraph that Trump is telling us

1195
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 13: what he.

1196
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:38,760
Speaker 6: Intends to do.

1197
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 1: That was Hillary on the View, and she apparently likes

1198
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: talking a lot about Trump being hitler. Here she is

1199
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 1: on CNN, cut number four.

1200
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,479
Speaker 13: And you know one other thing that you'll see next week, Caitlin,

1201
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 13: is Trump actually re enacting the Madison Square Garden rally

1202
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 13: in nineteen thirty nine. I write about this in my book.

1203
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 13: President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo Nazis fascists in

1204
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:21,640
Speaker 13: America were lining up to essentially pledge their support for

1205
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 13: the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany.

1206
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 13: So I don't think we can ignore it.

1207
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: So there you go. There's a Hillary Clinton. She's a Democrat.

1208
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 1: Nicole Wallace hasn't heard of any Democrats who refer to

1209
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Trump as hitler. Here's another one, Kamala Harris, cut number six.

1210
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:45,840
Speaker 1: And let's be.

1211
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 14: Clear about who he considers to be the enemy from within.

1212
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 14: Anyone who refuses to bend a knee or dares to

1213
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 14: criticize him would qualify in his mind as the enemy within,

1214
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 14: like judges, like journalists, like nonpartisan election officials. It is

1215
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 14: deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke

1216
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:19,839
Speaker 14: Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths

1217
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:24,599
Speaker 14: of six million Jews. Oh, she's so hundreds of thousands of.

1218
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 1: Americans, man, were so lucky that she's still out there. Further,

1219
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: try and turn that off. That's enough of that and

1220
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 1: believe that imbecile. So there was Kamala Harris, She's a Democrat.

1221
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 1: But Nicole Wallace hasn't heard of any Democrats who referred

1222
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: to Trump as Hitler? What about what about the guy

1223
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris used to work for? Joe Biden? Did he

1224
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,679
Speaker 1: ever call Trump Hitler? I don't know. Let's hear cut

1225
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: number seven.

1226
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 8: He calls those who are opposed Verbin.

1227
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 7: He talks about the blood of America is being poisoned.

1228
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 12: That going the same exact language used in Nazi Germany.

1229
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 1: Well, he didn't say Hitler, but he did say Nazi Germany.

1230
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,719
Speaker 1: So I think you get the idea. He's very clever,

1231
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: very smart. You know, Joe Piden. What about another Democrat? Oh,

1232
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. What about Nancy Pelosi? Did she ever

1233
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:28,760
Speaker 1: say Trump was Hitler? Let's hear cut number eighth.

1234
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 15: But we have we just have to win this election

1235
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 15: because he's even predicting a blood bath. What does that

1236
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 15: mean He's going to exact a bloodbath? There's something wrong here.

1237
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 15: How respectful I am of the American people and their goodness,

1238
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 15: but how much more do they have to see from

1239
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:52,120
Speaker 15: him to understand that this isn't what our country is about.

1240
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 15: Praising Hitler, praising the Russians.

1241
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Yes, honestly, honest.

1242
01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 15: Condemning our soldiers.

1243
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: Ye yeah, fine, that's enough of that. There's Nancy Pelosi honestly, honestly,

1244
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: just like Hitler. But no Democrats ever ever really called

1245
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 1: Trump Hitler. Obama was very clever in the way that

1246
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: he did it. Is Obama a Democrat? Joe Waddell? Is

1247
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: Obama a Democrat? I think he is. Let's hear cut

1248
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:21,519
Speaker 1: Number nine.

1249
01:15:23,560 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 16: General John Kelley, Donald Trump's former chief of staff, said

1250
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 16: that Trump told him he wanted his generals to be

1251
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 16: like Hitler's general.

1252
01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 1: Ah, yeah, just like Butler. Don't boom huh.

1253
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 16: Now, I want to explain that in politics, a good

1254
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 16: rule of thumb is don't say you want to do

1255
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 16: anything like Hitler.

1256
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: Ah, there's Obama. He's a smart one too, isn't he.

1257
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:57,799
Speaker 1: So you got Kamala, you got Obama, you got Biden.

1258
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: Look Nicole Wallace hasn't heard any Democrats saying that Trump

1259
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: is like Hitler. No, he hasn't heard that at all.

1260
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 1: What about what about he took him there? He's on

1261
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: that oligarch thing right now, Bernie Sanders, but he doesn't

1262
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 1: like Oligarks and apparently he doesn't like Trump either. What

1263
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 1: about Bernie Sanders? Did he ever call Trump Hitler? Let's

1264
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 1: hear cut number ten. But also we cannot wait.

1265
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 17: We have to have mass protests, mobilization and disruption. Is

1266
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 17: that what it's going to take, because again there's five

1267
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,680
Speaker 17: hundred and twenty more days. We've got five more of

1268
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,759
Speaker 17: what we just went through before even we get to

1269
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 17: cast a single vote.

1270
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,719
Speaker 18: Look, we have got to use the answer is yes,

1271
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,480
Speaker 18: and we have got to use all of the tools

1272
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 18: that we can in Congress and out on the streets.

1273
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 18: The truth of the matter is, I don't care if

1274
01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:59,519
Speaker 18: you are a conservative, Republican or a progressive as I am,

1275
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 18: you do not believe I mean, you just stop and

1276
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 18: think about it. Think about the men and women who

1277
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 18: fought and died against Hitler, fort and died against fascism,

1278
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 18: fought and died to defend American democracy, And I think

1279
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 18: the vast majority of the American people, regardless of the ideology,

1280
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 18: are not and cannot and must not sit back and

1281
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 18: allow us to move into an authoritarian type society where

1282
01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 18: people get picked up off the streets and put.

1283
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 8: In detention centers.

1284
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 19: Really in the United States of America, really where the

1285
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 19: constitution is undermind, where you have a president suing the media,

1286
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 19: maybe Trump will see you. Mike didn't like the questions

1287
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 19: you asked me intimidating a second with Leu's edit that

1288
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 19: part out.

1289
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:51,600
Speaker 1: So there you go. So there's Bernie Sanders and he

1290
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: likes to talk about Trump and the Trump administration and

1291
01:17:56,240 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: ICE going and taking people off the streets and what

1292
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: kind of people are they just taking off the streets. Well,

1293
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:11,320

01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,879
Speaker 1: Democrat government shutdown will slow us down from the arrests

1306
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 1: of the worst of the worst. Sad Tricia McLaughlin, the

1315
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: the rest of that story. And then I saw another

1316
01:19:56,600 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 1: piece where they talk about their goal is to have

1317
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:05,639

1321
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:26,640
Speaker 1: reach a total of six hundred thousand by the end

1322
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: of the year. Trump administration's on pace to shatter historic

1323
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 1: records deport nearly six hundred thousand illegals by the end

1324

1325
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: more than two million illegals have already left the US

1326
01:20:45,560 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: on their own, including one point six who voluntarily self deported.

1327
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 1: And it's just the beginning. They say they got a

1328
01:20:56,680 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: lot more to go. And I'm seeing a lot more

1329
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:03,160

01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:28,080
Speaker 1: and their capital management partner is going to invest five

1385
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:33,720
Speaker 1: billion dollars to modernize American shipbuilding yards and strength and

1386
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:41,639
Speaker 1: supply chains. Hey, this guy is absolutely amazing the kind

1387
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:43,799
Speaker 1: of stuff that Trump is bringing home from this trip.

1388
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 1: Trump signed an agreement with Japan on Monday to ramp

1389
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:50,800
Speaker 1: up cooperation in the process of critical minerals and rare

1390
01:25:50,840 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: earth materials, underscoring a major priority of his trip to Asia.

1391
01:25:56,280 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 1: Trump and the Japanese Prime Minister Sanatak Takichi signed off

1392
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 1: on the agreement. It outlines how the two countries are

1393
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:11,640
Speaker 1: intensifying their cooperative efforts. The Critical Minerals Agreement states of

1394
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,880
Speaker 1: two countries will provide financial support for mining projects within

1395
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 1: the next six months. Critical minerals are used in electronics

1396
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:27,280
Speaker 1: and all kinds of day to day products. The Critical

1397
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 1: Minerals signing with Japan comes two days after the US

1398
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:34,600
Speaker 1: signed an agreement with Thailand and Cambodia and Malaysia outlining

1399
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: cooperation on the process of exporting critical minerals. So you

1400
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 1: saw the video that was I believe Malaysia was the

1401
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 1: first trip or the first the first leg of this trip,

1402
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:55,559
Speaker 1: and Trump got off the airplane there in Malaysia and

1403
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,160
Speaker 1: there was a whole bunch of people there and they

1404
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 1: were doing a dance and Trump is right there on

1405
01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 1: the time reck having a great time just dancing with him.

1406
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: And I saw a lot of criticism from a Keem

1407
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:14,120
Speaker 1: Jefferies and others talking about how Trump shouldn't be doing

1408
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, that he ought to be there

1409
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 1: in Washington with them talking about the government shutdown. Well,

1410
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:26,679
Speaker 1: Trump is doing business. And this deal on the rare

1411
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 1: earth comes right before the meeting with China Xijingping, and

1412
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:37,200
Speaker 1: what does that do that puts Trump in America even

1413
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 1: in a stronger position to deal with China, because China

1414
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 1: dominates the rare earth market at the moment. But now

1415
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: that the US has these deals in their back pocket,

1416
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 1: they can negotiate more effectively with China, and Trump can

1417
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: get exactly what he wants out of China. And I

1418
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,839
Speaker 1: will not be surprised we don't see a major announcement tomorrow.

1419
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 1: Oh well, will not be surprised at all if that happens.

1420
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 1: So here's Trump when he went to speaking in South

1421
01:28:11,439 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: Korea a little bit earlier today. And the guys out there,

1422
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 1: he's having a great time. He's meeting all these leaders.

1423
01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:21,880
Speaker 1: And here's what he said when he was in South

1424
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,959
Speaker 1: Korea a little bit earlier today, Cut number eleven.

1425
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 20: The Republic of Korea is a cherished American friend and

1426
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 20: a close ally.

1427
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: And as we.

1428
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,120
Speaker 20: Can see in this beautiful city, it's truly one of

1429
01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:43,280
Speaker 20: the most remarkable nations anywhere on Earth. Here in this peninsula,

1430
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 20: the people of South Korea have forged a miracle of

1431
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:52,560
Speaker 20: economic development like you rarely see, an industrial and technological powerhouse,

1432
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 20: and above all, a free society and enduring democracy and

1433
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 20: a thriving civilization.

1434
01:28:58,080 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 1: And I want to congratulate you. Very few places like it.

1435
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 20: The entire world should be inspired by all that you

1436
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:08,960
Speaker 20: have achieved, and they study you and they do so

1437
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 20: much to understand what you've done, but most of them

1438
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:12,720
Speaker 20: don't get it.

1439
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 1: And it's probably good for you keep it this way.

1440
01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 1: So there you go. There's Trump in South Korea making

1441
01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:26,720
Speaker 1: a great speech. But if you remember, it wasn't all

1442
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: that long ago when Kamala Harris was the one who

1443
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:37,519
Speaker 1: was representing the United States in South Korea. Anyone remember

1444
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 1: what she said when she was there. Anyone remember the

1445
01:29:43,400 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: great technological deals that she came home with. No, what

1446
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:57,600
Speaker 1: we remember is this idiot of a vice president that

1447
01:29:57,640 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 1: we had when she's spoke these inspiring words about our

1448
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:05,800
Speaker 1: friends in South Korea. What's your cut number twelve?

1449
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 8: Please?

1450
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 14: So the United States shares a very important relationship, which

1451
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 14: is an alliance with the Republic of North Korea.

1452
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:20,120
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and it is an alliance that is strong

1453
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:20,879
Speaker 8: and enduring.

1454
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 1: Oh, strong and enduring. That great alliance with North Korea

1455
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:31,839
Speaker 1: is just a slight difference there, just a slight difference

1456
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 1: between the two administrations and what they're doing. And so

1457
01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:44,200
Speaker 1: Trump is over there, and I guess Cambodia and Thailand,

1458
01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:49,799
Speaker 1: I guess we're having problems. And Trump settled things there,

1459
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 1: and it's got that deal with Malaysia. Now, got to

1460
01:30:54,080 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 1: deal with South Korea, Gotta deal with Japan. All this

1461
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 1: stuff is happening. Anyone remember any of that happening when

1462
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Biden was president, when Biden would take these trips. I

1463
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: saw the video today from UH. I think he took

1464
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 1: a trip to Africa, and these guys are They're sitting

1465
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 1: at a table and and some of these African leaders

1466
01:31:25,560 --> 01:31:29,800
Speaker 1: are reading off the about the you know, the cooperation

1467
01:31:29,960 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 1: and how great it is they have their great relationship

1468
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 1: with the United States. And and Biden is there just

1469
01:31:35,920 --> 01:31:39,559
Speaker 1: and he is he is out. I mean, just just

1470
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 1: sound asleep. Big difference, just a huge difference between what

1471
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:53,559
Speaker 1: we see with this administration and what we see with

1472
01:31:53,680 --> 01:32:00,639
Speaker 1: the with the other administration. Absolutely unbelievable. What else, what else?

1473
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:05,840
Speaker 1: What else? The Wuhan, the effects of the Wuhan are

1474
01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:10,759
Speaker 1: still out there. There's a study that shows listen, ninety

1475
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 1: one percent, listen to this, ninety one percent of patients

1476
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:23,679
Speaker 1: show cardiovascular side effects from the MODERNA vaccine. Ninety one

1477
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:29,800
Speaker 1: percent from the moment the COVID vaccines were released, the

1478
01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:33,800
Speaker 1: public was gas lit about their safety and efficacy. Many

1479
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:39,000
Speaker 1: of the claims were pure bs, such as the claim

1480
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:43,559
Speaker 1: that recipients of the vaccine couldn't contract or transmit the virus.

1481
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 1: The former was not evident in the original studies, turned

1482
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 1: out to be the opposite that turned out to be

1483
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:57,680
Speaker 1: the opposite of the truth, and latter claim that was

1484
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:08,320
Speaker 1: never even tested. So this, this was the MODERNA vaccine.

1485
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:13,600
Speaker 1: Let me so, I'm trying to let's see the uh.

1486
01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:16,720
Speaker 1: Let mean, the longer the vaccines have been around, the

1487
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 1: more evidence suggests that they are far more dangerous than advertised,

1488
01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,599
Speaker 1: and that will be discovering new problems for years to come.

1489
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,760
Speaker 1: So they studied these patients who had the MODERNA vaccine.

1490
01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if yeah, how are you feeling

1491
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 1: right now? If you got you took those vaccines, you

1492
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 1: thought you were doing what was right. The government was

1493
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:45,639
Speaker 1: telling you what to do, take the vaccine. What I saw.

1494
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 1: I saw someone posted the other day that they're on

1495
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 1: their seventh, their seventh vaccine or their seventh wuhan vaccine already.

1496
01:33:57,160 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: That's absolutely unbelievable. So and then I mean, just the

1497
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 1: government just completely out of control when it came to

1498
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:12,479
Speaker 1: the Wuhan ninety have some kind of cardivent, cardiovascular side

1499
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 1: effect with this, and I never got it, never took it,

1500
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:25,080
Speaker 1: never took the vaccine, and I am I'm glad I didn't.

1501
01:34:25,880 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 1: We heard Nancy Pelosi earlier talking about Trump and how

1502
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:33,639
Speaker 1: she compared him to Hitler. She was on another event

1503
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 1: this week and she was reflecting on the wonderful demonstrations

1504
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 1: that we saw over the weekend about no kings. That

1505
01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:48,040
Speaker 1: was the end, all that was was. That was the

1506
01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:50,880
Speaker 1: other thing in South Korea. I don't know if you

1507
01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 1: saw this, but Trump has been trolling people with all

1508
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:01,680
Speaker 1: this talk about running for a third he said on

1509
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 1: Air Force One. He was talking with the reporters and

1510
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:09,160
Speaker 1: they were asking him about a third term, and so

1511
01:35:09,280 --> 01:35:12,240
Speaker 1: instead of he may be done with the troll at

1512
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:15,880
Speaker 1: least for the time being, because he's just been playing

1513
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:17,920
Speaker 1: the left in the media and bloat like a fiddle

1514
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: with this thing suggesting that he might hang around for

1515
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:23,960
Speaker 1: a third term. And he said something that made a

1516
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:28,120
Speaker 1: reference to the Constitution, and he said, yeah, I'm pretty

1517
01:35:28,160 --> 01:35:30,559
Speaker 1: sure I can't run for the third term. So he

1518
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 1: may be ready to move on from that. But he

1519
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 1: had the leader in South Korea give Trump a couple

1520
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 1: of gifts today and one was actually a crown, So

1521
01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 1: they were getting in on the jokes too, kind of

1522
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 1: giving it to all the all the people who wanted

1523
01:35:52,439 --> 01:35:55,320
Speaker 1: to cry about Trump being a king. That's why we

1524
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:57,680
Speaker 1: had the No Kings rally. But Nancy Pelosi said that,

1525
01:35:57,800 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 1: you know what, whatever you thought of that No King's

1526
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,840
Speaker 1: rally that we had last weekend, you might have been

1527
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:10,000
Speaker 1: wrong about what it was really all about. And here

1528
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:12,599
Speaker 1: she is breaking it down. Cut number fourteen, Joe.

1529
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 15: Because I see the Democrats every day. You saw a

1530
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 15: march that was not political, and the value of it

1531
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:28,000
Speaker 15: was that it wasn't political No King's Day. It was spontaneous, organic,

1532
01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:32,800
Speaker 15: but everybody, everybody was there, and that's what's important is

1533
01:36:32,840 --> 01:36:36,839
Speaker 15: what are the people thinking, what are they hopeful about,

1534
01:36:37,240 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 15: what are they willing to get out.

1535
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:43,679
Speaker 1: The vote for? Surprised she didn't say anything about the children,

1536
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 1: because with her, it's all about the children. But of

1537
01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 1: course the No King's rally was not political, according to

1538
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelos, just spontaneous, just a bunch of great amount

1539
01:36:59,920 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 1: of Americans saying, you know what, let's go out there

1540
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:07,160
Speaker 1: and exercise our First Amendment rights, and we'll do it

1541
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 1: under the banner of no Kings. Because I didn't see

1542
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: anyone at all attacking Trump. I didn't see anyone at

1543
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:24,880
Speaker 1: all mocking Charlie Kirk and the assassination. No, I didn't.

1544
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 1: I didn't see anyone. I didn't see that. I didn't

1545
01:37:28,320 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 1: go to a No King's rally, but I looked at

1546
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 1: the video. I talked about it on this radio show.

1547
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:40,240
Speaker 1: I didn't, I don't. I didn't see any political activity

1548
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:48,840
Speaker 1: at all. Nancy Pelosi, that wasn't political. God, the gaslighting continues,

1549
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 1: absolutely unbelievable. So now we know that the Biden administration,

1550
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:56,840
Speaker 1: the ones closest to him in the White House, knew

1551
01:37:56,880 --> 01:38:02,160
Speaker 1: full well they were lying to us about the cognitive decline,

1552
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:06,720
Speaker 1: and Nancy Pelosi is still playing that card. Look, I

1553
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:10,080
Speaker 1: know you saw the No King's rally. I saw you,

1554
01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:13,800
Speaker 1: saw all the speeches being made. I told you. The

1555
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 1: first is the first speech I saw when I turned

1556
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:20,240
Speaker 1: that on was Randy Weingerten, the president of the American

1557
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 1: Federation of Teachers, and she went on and on. I

1558
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 1: probably saw about ten minutes of her speech, and all

1559
01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:30,840
Speaker 1: she did was attack Trump. Nothing political about it, though

1560
01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:34,559
Speaker 1: she didn't you know, didn't say anything about the kids,

1561
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:38,320
Speaker 1: wasn't concerned about the teachers, wasn't concerned about anything like that.

1562
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:44,479
Speaker 1: She was concerned about consolidating power for herself and her teachers' union,

1563
01:38:45,800 --> 01:38:49,479
Speaker 1: not for the kids or the teachers, but for you know,

1564
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 1: her and her friends, because their grip on power is

1565
01:38:55,240 --> 01:39:00,559
Speaker 1: being threatened under Trump, and god knows what. We can't

1566
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 1: have them lose their grip on power. One of the

1567
01:39:03,960 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 1: worst things that happened. But and according to Nancy Pelosi,

1568
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 1: none of that is political. That's just that's just grassroots

1569
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:18,800
Speaker 1: as it gets. Timothy Mellon, who is a billionaire, has

1570
01:39:18,840 --> 01:39:21,640
Speaker 1: been identified as the anonymous owner who stepped forward with

1571
01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:24,360
Speaker 1: a massive one hundred and thirty million dollar gift that

1572
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:30,160
Speaker 1: covers the salaries of US military personnel during the government shutdown.

1573
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:35,960
Speaker 1: Shutdown began when Congress failed to pass approach appropriations legislation.

1574
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 1: Central services continue, but non essential operations have halted. And

1575
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:48,599
Speaker 1: so when it comes to paying the military, this dude,

1576
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:53,439
Speaker 1: Timothy Mellon, eighty three years old, said to be worth

1577
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:57,880
Speaker 1: fourteen billion dollars. I said, you know what, here's one

1578
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:02,960
Speaker 1: hundred and what is it, one hundred and thirteen. Seems

1579
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:04,640
Speaker 1: like you might need more than that one hundred and

1580
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars to pay those military salaries. I don't

1581
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 1: know about that. That's it for me. I got to

1582
01:40:09,960 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 1: get out of here. I had a great night tonight.

1583
01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for listening. We are back tomorrow

1584
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 1: night and we're talking all about elections tomorrow night, so

1585
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 1: I hope you can hang around for that until then.

1586
01:40:20,720 --> 01:40:24,360
Speaker 1: Have a great night, and we will see you tomorrow

1587
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 1: on the Home of the Best Bengals cover seven hundred,

1588
