1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Greg drag Dragon.

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 2: Hey, Mike, listen. I just turned on the radio a

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: little bit ago. And by the way, I'm standing in

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: my garage. I am not in the pooper in case

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: you hear the echo.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: Look, I don't want to hear any of that Kamla crap,

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: even if you don't get talkbacks, because that would be

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: googer listener abuse.

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: But just in case, here's your talk back, buddy.

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Well, I should say that somebody actually requested this.

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: He did on the text line.

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 3: So fascinating by that somebody actually wanted to hear the cackle.

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: So I don't want to hear the cackle.

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: It's a very special one, A specific one. Oh yes,

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: that one that our colleague Ryan.

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: Schuling put together.

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: Colleague Casey's listening.

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: Do you want to really refer to a those a colleague?

19
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: But it is.

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: The nineteen eighty nine man joker laugh mixed with the

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: Kamala cackle.

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 2: All right.

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: It goes on for other twenty or so seconds, But

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to torture everybody with the longest version

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: of it here. But yeah, there's there's the joker Kamala laugh.

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 3: If anything today we've accomplished. Why we like talkbacks, So

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: keep them, keep them coming, keep them coming.

28
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: Well, and as you heard, who's doing Who's doing the news?

29
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: Top they are? I missed? Was it Keenan? Who did it?

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: You remember? Who did it?

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Probably Sam I I, and we apologize whoeveryone it was.

32
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: But I'm not picking on them.

33
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: But I am going to pick on them because I

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: want to talk about the weather, and they concluded with something.

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: I feel like what the phrase was because I got

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: distracted now by the stupid dog bag and the cackle,

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: but something about, you know, records setting heat. Okay, maybe

38
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: we should call the corner it's record setting heat. Let's

39
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: go through the media's breathless coverage. Now. You know that

40
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 3: I watch Dave Frasier and all the meteorologists on KDVR,

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: the Fox Affilate in Denver, channel thirty one, because they

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: are certified as Colorado's most accurate forecast and indeed I

43
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: believe that they are, and they're very, very good. The

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: only thing I don't like about what they do, but

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: I understand exactly why they do it, because whether it

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: is important to Colorado's they do what they do. They

47
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: do the same thing we do in radio. You tease

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: something but you don't talk about it until later. But

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: you come and tell them what you're gonna talk about.

50
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: So you give a little tease like, oh, it's gonna

51
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: be hotter than hell, and you know we're all gonna

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: die coming up into So you have to stay tuned

53
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: and hear whatever they're gonna talk about until you get

54
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: to the weather. I get that, but that's where I

55
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: get my weather. So let's go through there, and I'm

56
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: sure all the other stations too, including in right.

57
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: Here's my left in our own newsroom.

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: The breathless coverage of the reason Colorado heat wave because

59
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: apparently we need it. We need a trauma counselor or

60
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: maybe a un resolution every time that Denver resembles Phoenix

61
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: in March or April.

62
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: Here's the headline.

63
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: The local media has been running with record heat shatters

64
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: Colorado temperatures, and that's true. Last week Denver hit what

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: eighty six degrees? I think that broken all time March record,

66
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: so that therefore is catastrophic, it's historic, and that's unprecedented.

67
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: I know that somewhere we could find all the meteorologists

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: using those three words catastrophic, historic, and unprecedented, but they

69
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: leave that one small inconvenient detail. The old all time

70
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: March temperature record was eighty four degrees set on March

71
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 3: twenty six, nineteen seventy one, nineteen seventy one. That's the

72
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: year The Doors released their last album. That's the year

73
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: the Pentagon papers were leaked. That, by the way, is

74
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: the same year that John Denver, our own John Denver,

75
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: released Take Me Home Country Roads. So there's your baseline

76
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: for the climate catastrophe that all the activists in the

77
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: in the Church of the climate activists keep telling us

78
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: that we're facing. And before that date of March twenty sixth,

79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy one, the daily record for March twentieth was

80
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: eighty degrees nineteen oh seven. So the question I'd like somebody,

81
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: anybody in the media to answer, is this, what exactly

82
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: was happening to the climate in nineteen oh seven and

83
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy one that produced temperatures within shouting distance of

84
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: what we just saw this week. Were there too many

85
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: covered wagons? Were there too many Indians roaming the plane

86
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: where there's too many buttlos roaming those planes?

87
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: Were too many elk? You know?

88
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: Had the elk come down from the the elk are

89
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: still down on the planes. Probably back in nineteen oh seven,

90
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 3: hadn't all been chased up in the mountains yet? Was

91
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: the Industrial Revolution that early in Colorado? You see the

92
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: narrative arrives before the thumbomeons or even cools. Within hours

93
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: of the Mercury rising, the Climate Shift Index issued an

94
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: alert declaring, and I want you to appreciate the confidence

95
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: here that the human cause climate change is making this

96
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: heat more likely, not might be, not could be contributing

97
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: to is making it more likely. Huh, let's break that down.

98
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: Hey, Michael, you want to talk back? There you go.

99
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: Can I get a hunt?

100
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

101
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll give you a hug. Let me give you

102
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: a hug. Baby. Here you go.

103
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 3: This is what geologists and climatologists call attribution science, and

104
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: I think it deserves a little bit of cross examination.

105
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: The claim is human cause climate change is making this

106
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: heat more likely more likely. These attribution claims don't come

107
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: from direct observation. They come from computer models that simulate

108
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 3: two hypothetical worlds, one with human emissions and one without,

109
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: and then they assignabilities to outcomes based on those simulations.

110
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: That's not measurement, its inference stacked on top of.

111
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: An assumption, stacked on more assumption.

112
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 3: In a courtroom, we call that hearsay that's built on speculation.

113
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: The judge would sustain an objection before I could even

114
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: finished the objection. Here's what the actual data shows. When

115
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: you pull the statewide march temperature records for Colorado going

116
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: back to eighteen ninety five, one hundred and thirty years,

117
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty one years of data, you don't

118
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: find a flat, stable climate suddenly lurching off a cliff

119
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: in the modern era. You find exactly what is described

120
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: as a system that has always been wildly variable. We

121
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: have pronounced warm anomalies scattered throughout the early twentieth century,

122
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: well before atmospheric CEO to reach current levels. The same

123
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: pattern you can find in California, Arizona, Washington, Spikes, valleys,

124
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: clusters of warmth, clusters of cold. It's a jagged, dynamic,

125
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: non linear system that does not care about your narrative arc.

126
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 3: You know what the most severe heat waves in American

127
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: history look like? On that chart, they look like the

128
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 3: nineteen thirties dust bow. That's when CO two concentrations were

129
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: a fraction of today's level. If modern heat is uniquely

130
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: and causally linked to rising CO two. Then somebody explained

131
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: to me the nineteen thirties. I'll gladly wait because I've

132
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 3: been asking for that explanation and I don't get one.

133
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: So what's actually causing it?

134
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: Let me give you a meteorological explanation that actually fits

135
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 3: the data. No panic required here. While we have right

136
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: now is a strong high pressure ridge parked over the

137
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: western United States, coinciding with a transition from law Nina

138
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: toward al Nino conditions and warmer than average Pacific cold waters.

139
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 3: Those are well understood. It's well documented. Those are historical

140
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: drivers or regional heat events. They operated in nineteen seventy one,

141
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: they operated in nineteen oh seven, they operate in twenty

142
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: twenty six. The atmosphere and Mother Nature does not need

143
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: your permission to do what it has always done and

144
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: what it will always do. But there's a shell game

145
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 3: being played here with these records, and I want you

146
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: to address the record breaking obsessions specifically, because this is

147
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: where the media slid of hand is the most brazen.

148
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: Guess what, not all records are created equal. The daily

149
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: record from March nineteen was eighty one degrees, set one

150
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: hundred and nineteen years ago in nineteen oh seven. So

151
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: Denver broke a one hundred nineteen year old record. That means,

152
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: for one hundred nineteen years, it wasn't broken during the

153
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: entirety of the post World War two industrial boom.

154
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: The Cold War, the muscle car.

155
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: Era, the interstate highway system, the emergence of the SUV,

156
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 3: the Internet age. Denver never eclipsed eighty one degrees in

157
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 3: mid March until now.

158
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: Now.

159
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: Is that alarming or.

160
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: Is it just weather being weather in a system that

161
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: has been oscillating for millions of years. Let's add a

162
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: layer of statistical reality. The longer you keep records, the

163
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: more records you're eventually going to break. In both directions.

164
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 3: Every cold snap can break a record too. We just

165
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 3: don't leave with those. How often do you hear someone

166
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: I've heard Dave Frasier talk about it's a record low low,

167
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: but well, we want to focus on the back of high.

168
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 3: There's also the inconvenient matter of where we measure. The

169
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: official Denver temperature record is kept currently at Denver International Airport,

170
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 3: a massive hundreds of square miles of concrete tarmac jet

171
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 3: exhaust the urbans heat sync plopped on the prairie east

172
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: of the city. Urban development and airport infrastructure create localized

173
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: warming effects that can measurably influence those readings. And that's

174
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: not a conspiracy theory. It's basic physics, and it's a

175
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: known issue in the climate science and it's called the

176
00:11:48,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: urban heat island effect. I sincerely hope he was doing

177
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: that in his car or in his office somewhere where

178
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: others could have observed that.

179
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the.

180
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: Sad part is I saw a video recently the psychological

181
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: effect of laughing, and a guy gets on I forget

182
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: where the subway was. He gets on some subway train

183
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: somewhere and everybody's doting on their phones, in their faces

184
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 3: and their phones. Everybody's staring down and the guy pulls

185
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: out his iPad or something, puts on his earbuds and

186
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 3: starts watching something and then starts laughing. But it wasn't

187
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 3: a goofball like that. It was a genuine laugh And

188
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: after about the video was probably i'm guessing seven eight

189
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 3: minutes long, longer than you know most ADHD Americans can watch,

190
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 3: but I stuck with it. But it showed through undercover

191
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: cameras the psychology of how him genuinely laughing made other

192
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: people put their phones down, look, start watching, and pretty

193
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 3: soon the entire car train was laughing. They had no

194
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: idea what he was laughing about, but they were now

195
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: laughing because he was laughing. I'm I'm sad to say

196
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 3: that didn't have that effect. Instead, I was thinking, get

197
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: the guy some medication, getting some medication.

198
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, get him one of those old jackets where you

199
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: hug yourself.

200
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: That's right, exactly exactly so.

201
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: Recently, declassified documents by Senator's Grassley Johnson and Senator Cruz

202
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: reveal even more mouth seasons by this sol called Special

203
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: Prosecutor Jack Smith, all under the guise of the January

204
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: sixth pro.

205
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: This is the Arctic.

206
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: Frost investigation trifecta. Jack Smith, Judge Boseburg, and Howell Now Smith.

207
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: Jack Smith. He's been accused of over each before. Here's

208
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: the guy who is always getting overturned on appeal. Has

209
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: been exploriated by judges for his horrible.

210
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: Tactics in the courtroom.

211
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 3: But the new documents only reinforced the notion that his

212
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: entire investigation of January sixth was nothing but a political

213
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: assassination against Donald Trump, his advisors and the supporters. But

214
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 3: the new allegations are truly stunning. I would put in

215
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: the at the top of that the abuse of cash Battel.

216
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: Jack Smith issued two separate Verizon Verizon Wireless subpoenas covering

217
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 3: about two years of cash Battel's records, all the way

218
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: from November twenty twenty two through February of twenty twenty three.

219
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: The data included addresses, the call and text metadata, payment

220
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 3: information like credit card, bank account numbers, IP addresses, subscriber names,

221
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 3: everything you could possibly imagine. At that time, cash Battel

222
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: was a private citizen with zero no not as Zeltz,

223
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: nothing criminal charges pending against him. Yes, he had worked

224
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: for the Congress, he had helped with the investigations, but

225
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: at the time these subpoenas were issued and the time

226
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: period that was covered, he was a private citizen. And

227
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: then Jack Smith goes even further and obtains non disclosure

228
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: orders INDs obtained from judges more than them in just

229
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: a minute, preventing cash Battel and others from even learning

230
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: about the subpoenas and the justifications. Cash Btael is a

231
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 3: flight risk he might engage in evidence tampering, he might

232
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: engage in witness intimidation, all which would create jeopardy to

233
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: the investigation. There was no ground whatsoever to believe that

234
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 3: a private citizen like Cash Battel, who was both publicly

235
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 3: known and not a flight risk, would ever destroy evidence

236
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 3: or flee. If they an't do it at Cash Battel,

237
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 3: they could do it to you. But then there was

238
00:16:53,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: the abuse of Congress Jack Smith's team subpoenaed toll records

239
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: sitting members of Congress, Congressman Biggs Brooks, Senators Lee Hagridy,

240
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: and a bunch of others, and the internal emails now

241
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: disclosed confirmed that Jack Smith's teams knew these members had

242
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: valid speech or debate clause protections under Article one, Section

243
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: six of the Constitution. Before and here's Jack Smith in emails.

244
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 3: Before we tell Maine Department of Justice, we're going to

245
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 3: fire off subpoenas for so many members' tolls. I should

246
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: make sure Jack's aware and quote unlikely that many of

247
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: those members will cooperate and that they quote likely have

248
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 3: a valid speech or debate privilege in immunizing them from

249
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: compelled testimony. Now, indeed, the speech of debate clause protects

250
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: legislators from being quote questioned in any other play about

251
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: their legislative acts, any other place, a courtroom, anywhere they

252
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 3: have absolute immunity. So issuing subpoenas for communications that the

253
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: team itself recognized were likely privileged is a serious allegation.

254
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: In fact, it probably in my mind, crosses over into

255
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: criminal allegations. And even under the Department of Justice's own

256
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 3: internal policies the Justice Manual formerly known as the US

257
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: Attorney's Manual, there are heightened approval requirements for subpoena's targeting

258
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: members of Congress. Well, the emails that have now been

259
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: disclosed this week suggest that every single one of those

260
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 3: internal controls were completely ignored. Let's talk about false statements

261
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: to Congress. By eighteen, Section tenal one, the Attorney General

262
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: briefing materials that Jack Smith's team quote went over the

263
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 3: House January sixth committee report page by page, and then

264
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 3: quote incorporated their report into our investigative plan and then

265
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: planned to and I quote leveraged this to avoid needless interviews.

266
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: But Jack Smith's Special Council report says that the January

267
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: sixth committee materials quote comprise just a small part of

268
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 3: the office's investigative record and facts were developed or verified

269
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: through independent investigative steps. That is complete in contradiction to

270
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 3: what he said on the brief that they went over

271
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 3: the House January sixth Committee report page by page and

272
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 3: incorporated that into their investigative plan, and they were going

273
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: to leverage that so they wouldn't have to go do

274
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of interviews. Wow, this guy is really bad news. Now,

275
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 3: before we even finish this, let's recognize something.

276
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 2: What's gonna happen?

277
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 3: This is my my absolute metastatic frustration. The frustration is

278
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: just an inherent part of my being. Who's gonna stand

279
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 3: up and holds him accountable? In the US attorney Jeene Piro,

280
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: Hey Judge Janine, are you gonna do anything? Hey Pam Bondi,

281
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 3: are you gonna do anything? This guy needs to be

282
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: not just all before Congress, but he needs to be

283
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: held criminally accountable for what he's done. Let's think about

284
00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 3: the recording of attorney client communication. You know, you're doctor

285
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: patient privilege, your attorney client privilege, those are sacral, sanct

286
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: for a reason. We want, you know, doctors to tell

287
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 3: you the truth. We want lawyers to tell you the truth.

288
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: We want lawyers want you to tell them the truth,

289
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 3: and so we have privileges, privileges that protect those communications. Well,

290
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 3: apparently the FBI allegedly recorded a phone call between Susie Wiles,

291
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: the president's current chief of staff. At the time, she

292
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 3: had been part of his campaign organization for the twenty

293
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 3: twenty four campaign at the time twenty twenty three. She's

294
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: a private citizen, but the FBI allegedly recorded a twenty

295
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: twenty three phone call between Wiles and her lawyer while

296
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 3: she was working part time for the Trump campaign. That

297
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 3: is potentially the most legally serious allegation. Recording an attorney

298
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 3: client privileged communication is an extraordinary step and under the

299
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 3: Department of Justice policy, it requires high level approving and

300
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 3: it requires a showing a proof a profer if you

301
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: will that communication that that communication falls outside the privilege.

302
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: For example, there's a crime fraud exception. If you tell

303
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 3: your client, I mean, if you tell your lawyer that

304
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 3: you're going to go commit a fraud or you're going

305
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: to go commit murder one, there's some obligation on the

306
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: part of the attorney to report that if he is

307
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 3: reasonably that you are going to go commit murder, and

308
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: in the crime fraud exception, if there is probable cause

309
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: to believe that you have told your lawyer about a

310
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: fraud that you're about to commit, well there's an exception,

311
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 3: but it requires a high level approval and it shows

312
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: it requires a showing a probable cause in order to

313
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 3: pierce the veil of the attorney client privilege. So under

314
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: the client the crime fraud exception, as one example, none

315
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 3: of that was ever done whatsoever. Now, if the FBI

316
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 3: falsely represented to a court that somehow consent existed that

317
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 3: either Susie Wiles or Susie Wiles's lawyer had consented to

318
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: the recording, to the eavesdropping, to the wire tap, that

319
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: could constitute fraud on the court. And that becomes a

320
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 3: potential what we call a Bivens violation. That's possible criminal

321
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 3: conduct under the Federal Wire Typing Statues titled eighteen sections

322
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 3: twenty five to ten through twenty five to twenty two.

323
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: Attorney client privilege is foundational to an adversarial court system,

324
00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 3: and breaching it, especially during an acting presidential campaign, would

325
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: be an extraordinary abuse. Something that as I heard yesterday

326
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 3: Senator Cruz compared the day before yesterday, Senator Cruz compared

327
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 3: this to this goes beyond the scope of Watergate. This

328
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: is much worse than Watergate, and I think he's absolutely

329
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: correct on that point. I think about the vast scale

330
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: of the investigation. There were nearly two hundred subpoenas targeting

331
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 3: four hundred plus Republican personalities and groups. More than one

332
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: hundred thousand private communications, texts, emails, voicemails, all of that

333
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 3: were swept up in this investigation. There were four consecutive

334
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: Trump related investigations. You had Crossfire, Hurricane, Round, River, Plasmic, Echo,

335
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: Arctic Frost, all for nine years between twenty sixteen and

336
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: twoenty twenty five. In essence, what we had going on

337
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 3: was the Democrat led DC justice machine had criminalized just

338
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: being a Republican. No Democrats involved here, all Republicans. Now,

339
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: as for the judges, there was a judicial oligarchy. Judge Bozburg,

340
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 3: Judge how and related judges. As for all judges, all

341
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 3: Obama era appointees. Jeff Childers puts it this way, and

342
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: I quote one internal DOJ email unearthed by Senator Grassley

343
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 3: subcommittee said, before we tell Maine, as in the Department

344
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 3: of Justice, We're going to fire off subpoenas for so

345
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 3: many members of Congress that I should make sure Jack's aware.

346
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: In other words, the conspirators recorded in an email they

347
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 3: were going to subpoenat Congress before asking their supervisors. In

348
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: other words, let's ask forgiveness, not permission, as is required

349
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 3: by the Department of Justice policy, he continues. Another memo

350
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: found by the subcommittee concluded that it would be unconstitutional

351
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: to surveil senators because they were protected by the Speech

352
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 3: and Debate Clause. But they issued the subpoenas anyway. But

353
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: perhaps the ugliest details, he writes, were notes about coordination

354
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 3: between Prosecutor Smith and the judges before the subpoenas were issued.

355
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 3: One agent's note says this, referencing Chief Judge how Beryl

356
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 3: how quote she liked our approach of pursuing the executive

357
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 3: privileged litigation in an omnibus fashion, and another quote the

358
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: chief Judge knows it is coming and he loves the idea.

359
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 2: Now I don't know who needs to hear this, but

360
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 2: a lawyer's job.

361
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 3: Is much easier if the judges tell you privately ahead

362
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 3: of time, want to put an emotion which of your

363
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: ideas they love. He sort of collapses the whole judicial

364
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: system into a single easy step.

365
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: Hey, we got teamwork going on here. How would you

366
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 2: like it?

367
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: He's got some sort of case spending in front of

368
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: a judge, and you find out later that the prosecutor

369
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 3: or your opponent, whoever it might be, had gone to

370
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: the judge ahead of time and said, we're thinking about

371
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 3: doing an XYZ this way. What do you think, Judge

372
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: all I love that idea. Why don't you go for it?

373
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: You think you're getting a fair trial? Judge Beryl Helle,

374
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 3: DC district Obama appointee granted the non disclosure orders for

375
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 3: the ptail subpoenas and then held meetings with the prosecution's team.

376
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: Chief Judge James Boseburg. You've heard his name before. He's

377
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,120
Speaker 3: the one that's hearing all these injunctions, ignoring. He's sobbing

378
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: everything that I was trying to do, including a grand

379
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: jury subpoena to about Federal Research Chairman Jerome Powell. Maybe

380
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: I'll do that story tomorrow. Boseburg has a long and

381
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 3: sordid history of decision making whenever Trump or MiG is involved.

382
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 3: The Federalist website described Boseburg as quote giving Smith's team

383
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 3: the greenlight to spy on Republican members of Congress, and

384
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 3: Cruz stated that the judges involved themselves should be investigated, tried, impeached,

385
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 3: and brought to justice. This is actually pretty terrifying stuff.

386
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: Three things. The Wild's attorney client recording. If the FBI

387
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: falsified consent to record a privileged call during an acting

388
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: presidential campaign, that's criminal conduct and among the most serious

389
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: abuses of investigative power imaginable in American history. It does,

390
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: indeed go well beyond Watergate. It's much worse than Watergate.

391
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: Where's the outrage? Where's Fox News? Where's the media? Oh?

392
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, ye know, the cabal. Of course, they're going

393
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: to cover this up. This thing about the second one,

394
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: the speech and debate clause. We have internal emails showing

395
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 3: the team knew that the members had a valid privilege,

396
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: but they went anyway. That is absolutely damning. This is

397
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 3: an ambiguous legal territory. The Department of Justice has established

398
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: policies precisely to prevent this kind of overreach, and Jack

399
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: Smith just ignore it, totally ignored it. And then the

400
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 3: sheer scope of the investigation. Two hundred sub penas four

401
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 3: hundred plus targets more than one hundred thousand communications with

402
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 3: minimal criminal output. When you do all of that, it's like,

403
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: let's investigate, let's investigate this entire building, let's investigate the

404
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: all the employees of iHeart, all the tens of thousands

405
00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 3: of employees of iHeart. This issue subpoenis targets after communications,

406
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 3: and you end up with no criminal output that suggests

407
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: the investigation may have been disproportionate to its legitimate objectives.

408
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: So if the House of Representatives fails to act, now, Republicans,

409
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: you only have yourselves to blame. When you're the ones

410
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: that are illegally targeted, charged, bankrupted, and imprisoned and you

411
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 3: don't do squat, shame on you,
