1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Okay, Ed in Pennsylvania. Let's go right back to ed 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Ed asks in many ways the sixty four thousand dollars question, 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: is there a deal to be made with John Thune 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: over the Save Act? And look in theory, yes, yes, 5 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: there's a deal to be made in theory. Here is 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: the problem. 7 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: You've got. 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: The Senate is split fifty three forty seven. All forty 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: seven Democrats, including Fetterman, are dead set against passing the 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: Save Act. When I say this is the political hill 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna die on, They're like the mulla is in 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: Iran right now. This is their jihad. They can't have 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: the Save Act passed because if it does, it will 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: undercut voter fraud, and without voter fraud, they can't win 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: an election. And they know that, so they are never 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: gonna give ground or compromise. Ever. So that means you've 17 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: left with forty to fifty three Republicans. You've got Murkowski 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: that's against it, You've got mcconnald that wants to sink it. 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: So that's already two right there. And you've got Curtis 20 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: in Utah who also probably is thinking of voting against it. 21 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: So already you're down to fifty, you still have JD Vance. 22 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: He's the tie breaking vote that'll give you your fifty 23 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: plus one. But what I'm saying is this sad. It's 24 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: not like we're two three votes away from the sixty 25 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: vote threshold to break a filibuster. Then maybe you can 26 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: go to the two or three that are still holding 27 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: out and say what do you need? What do you want? 28 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: You want a bridge, you want a hospital, you want 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: a school? Like, what do you want in your district 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: or in your state? What can I give you? You know, 31 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: with your name on it and we'll do a whole 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,919 Speaker 1: ceremony and you know, what is it that you want 33 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: that I can give you that to persuade you to 34 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: come and vote for election integrity and to end voter fraud. 35 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: Now they're at fifty, forget sixty. They can barely get 36 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: to fifty. So the only way to pass the Save 37 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 1: Act is to get Thoom to agree to abolish the filibuster. 38 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: That's it. And the Democrats have said again, they just 39 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: said it again a couple days ago. If they win 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: in November and they get both the House and the Senate, 41 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: they're abolishing the filibuster. They're going to pack the Supreme Court, 42 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: they're going to end the electoral College. They're going to 43 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: admit Puerto Rico and Washington d c Estates to give 44 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: them four extra Senate seats. So they've already lined up. 45 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, they're going to abolish ICE or 46 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: at a minimum, defund ice and reopen the border. And 47 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: it's all going to be fifty plus one. So they're 48 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: blowing that filibuster the second they get back to power. 49 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: So this is why Trump is urging them, saying, what 50 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: are you guys waiting for. They're gonna do it. You 51 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: do it now and save the country and the Republic 52 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: before it's too late. So there's only two options. Either 53 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: Trump goes to Thune and essentially bribes them. It says, look, essentially, 54 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: I mean I'm being serious. How much are they paying you? 55 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: Because clearly you're being paid. So whatever they're paying you 56 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: will match and top it. So really is it? What 57 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: do you want? 58 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: You tell? 59 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: You know what, We'll set up a foundation. We'll do 60 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: a Clinton Foundation thing. So we'll do a John Thune 61 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: Foundation thing, and you know, we'll just you know, you 62 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: can be the executive director. When you leave politics. You'll 63 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: make gazillions of dollars. Is that what you want? Like, 64 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: what do you want? And Trump is not going to 65 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: do that because that's illegal, it's criminal, and his enemies 66 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: would find out and they would put him in jail. 67 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: They would crucify him. You see, the thing about Trump 68 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: you have to remember, ed is that the crimes that 69 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: are committed by the swamp they never get prosecuted for. 70 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: But if Trump even tried to do something similar, in 71 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: other words, play their game or beat them at their game, 72 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: they would send him to jail for a thousand years. 73 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: So he can't do what the Democrats have done, which is, 74 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: here's money on the table. Here it is I'm bribing you, okay, 75 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: like in Eastern Europe. Here, now shut up and do 76 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: our bidding. So he's either got that or he's got 77 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: to go to the Senate and get five patriots who 78 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: are going to issue a leadership challenge and then say 79 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: I'm done. In other words, I'm gonna blow up Thune. 80 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he'll still be a backbencher, but five patriots 81 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: who challenge his leadership and say we've lost confidence. We're 82 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: gonna have a leadership race to be the Senate Republican 83 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: leader and put j Defense's name forward or Rick Scott 84 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: or whoever, and get someone that can lead the Republicans 85 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: who's willing to abolish the filibuster. And then we don't 86 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: just get to say back past, we get everything passed. 87 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: So unless Trump, that's called the nuclear option. Unless Trump 88 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: is willing to go nuclear, that's his only play right now. 89 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: Now. 90 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: You may say, but Jeff, why doesn't he just go nuclear? 91 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: Because the old expression, if you aim for the king, 92 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: you better kill the king. If they go for this 93 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: leadership challenge and Thune manages to survive, meaning he ends 94 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: up getting more votes than say Rick Scott or let's 95 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: say they put JD. Vance's name in there, Thune will 96 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: declare a ghaud against Trump and against those Republicans that 97 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: crossed him. So the Republican Party will be blown up, 98 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: and then Trump will get nothing, I mean literally nothing. 99 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: So that's the pickle that Trump is in right now. Ed, 100 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: have I laid it out for you? 101 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: Yes, I believe your analysis is almost bulletproof. There's only 102 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 3: one There's only one thing I would Yeah, there's only 103 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: one thing I would disagree with. You've got to work 104 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 3: with the devil, you know, and the last thing you 105 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 3: want to do is insult Thune, and by going to 106 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 3: him and bribing him is a is a blatant insult. 107 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: I think that the President DJ is a master He's 108 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: masterful at finding where the leverage exists. Somewhere in there, 109 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 3: there's got to be some leverage, and it is all 110 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: about nuking the filibuster. But you can't do it by 111 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 3: insulting Soon. By the way, shout out to Dave on 112 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: the other side of Pittsburgh. 113 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: Ed, thank you very much for that call.

I feel like I feel like I'm 160 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 5: calling today to have you make me feel better because 161 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 5: I've become so cynical. My question is can any age 162 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 5: really do anything? They all go in all gung ho 163 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 5: some you know, she was a good candidate, but suddenly 164 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 5: things change. And let's look at some examples of cash 165 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 5: brutality the FBI and Dan Bongino and how they went 166 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 5: in all dung ho about Epstein and nothing has been 167 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 5: done now that Bongino is left and is actually bashing 168 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 5: podcasters who question maybe Epstein in Israel? Can anyone do 169 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 5: really do anything? Are they getting whackmailed? Are they getting threatened? 170 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 5: Is the deep state? I'm defeatable. We need someone who 171 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 5: looks that can actually look in the face of death. 172 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 5: It is so principled and really has nothing to lose, 173 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 5: no family, nothing, and can take it on. Because is 174 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 5: it that they just can't get anything done because of threats? 175 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 5: I don't know, and I feel like that may be 176 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 5: the case. 177 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: Lynn. Let me answer your question this way. I think 178 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: it's such an important question, actually a very profound question, 179 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: very smart question. Today is Good Friday? And what is 180 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: the central story of Good Friday? It's it's a permanent theme. 181 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: By the way, you can't understand Shakespeare, you can't understand Dostoyevsky. 182 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: Most of the greatest writers and novelists in world history 183 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: knew the Bible inside out and wanted to relay the 184 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: themes of the Bible in a more secular way. Obviously, 185 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: but the great themes in the Bible, and so what 186 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: is it today today? Is Jesus is crucified on the cross. 187 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: And what does Jesus signify? What does he represent? He 188 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: represents suffering goodness in an evil, wicked world. The Roman 189 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: Empire crushed him, not spiritually, because he wins. In the end, 190 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: he rises and he defeats sin and death. But what 191 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying is just the secular part of it, the 192 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: worldly part of it. He was crushed initially. He's crushed, 193 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: That's why he's on the cross today. And the mob 194 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: cheered it all on. And at the heart of this 195 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: betrayal is greed. It's Judas who betrays him. If Judas 196 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: had not betrayed him, he would not have been crucified. 197 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: And so evil wickedness prays upon greed to destroy or 198 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: try to destroy, crush, suffering goodness, innocence, and so Judas 199 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: sold his soul. In fact, Jesus even tells him it 200 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: is better that you were never born, because Judas can 201 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: see that he's going to be betrayed. That's the drama 202 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: of the final the Last Supper, and of course Judas 203 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: denies it and denies it and denies it. He even 204 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: kisses Jesus on the cheek. Hence the term kissed the 205 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: of Judas. In other words, I love you so much. 206 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: You know, you know I will never you know, my lord, 207 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: I love you so much me betray you. Lah, I 208 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 1: would never do that to you. This is how much 209 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: I love you. And of course for thirty pieces of silver, 210 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: he betrays our Lord and savior. John Thune is a 211 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: bought man. He's bribed most of the power that the 212 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: deep state, or the the swamp, or the court, you know, 213 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: the globalists or the corrupt establishment. I'm telling you, I 214 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: was in DC for so many years. Their number one 215 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: most effective tool is what God judas to crucify Jesus, 216 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: money and greed, money and greed. That's why I said, Look, 217 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want me to be honest with you, 218 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: the way to counter him is, you know, a they 219 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: pay you three million, we pay you five million, They 220 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: pay you five million, we pay you ten million. I'm 221 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: not advocating for bribery, quite the opposite, But what I'm 222 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: saying is you're dealing with an intensely corrupt man. The 223 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: only thing he cares about is money in his bank 224 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: account and money in his wallet. So Thune is bought 225 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: and paid for, and so what you have to find 226 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: in people, and it's a rare quality, but it does exist. 227 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: Believe me, I'm not for sale. I'm not for sale. 228 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: And that's the problem with I'm gonna be bruly honest. 229 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a lot of people angry, but I'm 230 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: telling you the truth. I know Dan Bongino anyway, I 231 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: don't want to say anything more. Everybody sells themselves for 232 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: an almighty buck. And it's the same. It's not just 233 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: Dan Bongino, it's Cash Patel's. It's not just John Thune, 234 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: it's I can run, Mitch McConnell, I go on and on. 235 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: They are for sale. Lindsey Graham is for sale. Lindsey 236 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: Graham is owned by the military industrial complex. Lindsey Graham would, 237 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: all due respect, is a loser who now has become 238 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: a gazillionaire because he's become essentially a shill, a whore 239 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: for the warmongers Hillary Clinton. Nobody would ever Bill and 240 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton from Arkansas. They were at best they would 241 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: have a small time law firm in little Rock. They're 242 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: worth now half a billion dollars. Why because they're whores. 243 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: They sold themselves. The Obamas, diddoh, the Bidens diddo. So 244 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to say then is you have to 245 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: find people of outstanding moral character. It's really that simple. 246 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: Look at RFK Junior, he's not for Tolsi Gabbard. You 247 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: can say whatever you want. She's not for sale. She's 248 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: just not. You can see it on her. Okay, you 249 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: don't like it to kick, you know, fire me and 250 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: I'll find a way to make a living. But I'm 251 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: not No, you're not gonna give me money, and I'm 252 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: not gonna be corrupted by you. That's why I like JD. Vancelot. 253 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: He's not for sale. He's not. So what I'm saying 254 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: is we can beat the deep state. There's no question. 255 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 2: You know. 256 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 3: I know. 257 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: I'm telling you from my anti communist background, the greatest antie. 258 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: How do you think the Communist stayed in power for 259 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: so long? It's the system. The parallel, the historical analogy 260 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: are almost exactly exactly identical. They bought the dissidence off, 261 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: and if they couldn't buy them off, they locked them up. 262 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: But the point is you needed somebody who wasn't for sale, 263 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: and the greatest anti communists were those that said no, 264 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They tended to be Christian Eastern Europe, either 265 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: Catholic or Orthodox Christian. And you know, I'm sorry. I'm 266 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: not for sale. My grandfather here, God bless him, my grandfather. 267 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: I'm not for sale. You can take my home, you 268 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: can take my land, you can take my cows. I 269 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: mean that's what they did. They took, they took everything. 270 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: I'm not for sale. Do you understand the answer is no. 271 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 1: Now you find somebody like that, that person is invincible. 272 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: They're invincible. And I'm telling you there are people out 273 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: there when I say it, it's not that Ken Paxton 274 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: is this great, you know, this holy a saint. Ken 275 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: Paxton is not for sale. Okay, Just to put an 276 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: exclamation point on the answer to Lynn's all important question, Uh, 277 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, you look at our founding fathers. Why do 278 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: you think they won the war? They weren't for sale. 279 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: John Adams wasn't for sale. George Washington certainly wasn't for sale. Well, 280 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: Hamilton wasn't for sale. Jefferson wasn't for sale. I mean, 281 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to just the British couldn't buy them off. 282 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: They couldn't scare them, they couldn't intimidate them, because they 283 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: were true patriots. They were men of genuine courage and 284 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: bravery and patriotism, but also they were deeply religious, moral men, 285 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: and they said, no, I'm going to be judged by 286 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: my creator, and I'm not going to sell my soul. 287 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,959 Speaker 1: I'm not for sale. I will not be financially corrupted. So, 288 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: and there are many people out there who really don't, 289 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: you know, have excellent characters. You know, I just pointed 290 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: several names. I could point many more in the Trump 291 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,239 Speaker 1: administration and in government. But you got to pick them, 292 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: you got to know them, you got to pick them, 293 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: and you got to stand by them. And you know, 294 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: that's why I think that was I think Trump's problem 295 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: with the ag position. You know, you're picking people with 296 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: bad character. A bar in particular was disgusting. I mean, no, 297 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: I've never seen somebody pimp the AG position the way 298 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: he did. So, you know, but I'm going back to 299 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: Thune as an example. Thune is bought and paid for, 300 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: just like McConnell, you know, just like Chuck Schumer or 301 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffries or Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton. That's the problem. 302 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: So find someone who's not for sale and then believe me, 303 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: they're a very dangerous person in a good way. And 304 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: so you know, I got to say this, Lee Zelden, 305 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: from everything I've read, it's a very good man, very 306 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: good man. Served twenty years in the military, did a 307 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: tour Iny Rock, was a good strong member of Congress. 308 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: Has done a very nice effective job as EPA head. 309 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: Believe me, Lee Zelden is not going to embarrass anybody 310 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: as Attorney General. And he's gonna be a good, strong, 311 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: effective pick. So all right, well that's the thing. So 312 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: just that everybody, because Mike's in my ear now. So 313 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: just for all of you, if you want to have 314 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: a laugh at the Cooner man's expense, go to at 315 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: the Kooner Report. At the Coooner Report, kuh And is 316 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: in National Er. You're gonna see a chart up. Okay, 317 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: this is Mike and Sandy. They put up this chart 318 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: because that's what they do. 319 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 2: You know. 320 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: They they have to make my life difficult, you know. 321 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: They they take pleasure in making fun of me. And 322 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: so you're going to see something called the Cooner cabinet cycle, 323 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: and it's it's a circle with arrows, and they're basically 324 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: making fun of me. Search for new cabinet members. So 325 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: Trump is searching for a new cabinet member. Then cabinet 326 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: member hired in parentheses, Jeff lo Then you follow the 327 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: arrow a little bit more. Cabinet member does one small 328 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: thing Jeff disagrees with, and now he hates them. Then 329 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: the arrow keeps going. Cabinet member fired, Jeff celebrates in parentheses. 330 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: Then you follow the arrow back to the top of 331 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: the circle, search for new cabinet member. So Mike is saying, oh, yeah, yeah, 332 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: you like Lee Zelden until you don't like him.

I like the way you qualified it 343 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: pretty good. 344 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: No, it's good. There's that's okay. 345 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 3: I'm just job kidding. 346 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm just teasing. 347 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: I'm joking. Go ahead, Tom, go ahead, It's one thing 348 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 2: I want to say about firing Bondy. He can get 349 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 2: a new Attorney general. But the problem is they're not 350 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 2: going to have control over that agency, Department of Justice. 351 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 2: I think there's sixteen hundred people in that building. Have 352 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 2: you ever seen that building? You know how big the 353 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 2: building is. It's huge, DH, It's huge, And I think, 354 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: do you remember the day Garland left the building? They 355 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 2: all lined up and gave him a standing ovation when Obama. 356 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: When Obama left, Before he left, he took a lot 357 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 2: of appointee billets and turned him into care ear billets. 358 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 2: And the pipeline to doj or are basically educated idiots 359 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: out of Ivy League who who like the fact that 360 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 2: their starting salary is going to be near two hundred 361 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year, so they can bury themselves like 362 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: kicks the ind of the Department of Justice. And most 363 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 2: of them, most of those kids are already indoctrinated by 364 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 2: the time they get there. I mean most of them. 365 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 2: If they practiced law, they'd they'd be getting sued from 366 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: now practice. So they crawl into the government. So She's 367 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 2: got to it's like taking a gigantic ship that's heading 368 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 2: for a doc and trying to, you know, something that's 369 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: like a thirty thousand ton ship and trying to trying 370 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: to not only stop it but turn it around. Bondi. 371 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 2: Bondi did a few things that they seem to be 372 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: token things. She fired twenty or so. If you fired 373 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: twenty or so prosecutors who are involved in the J 374 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: six prosecutions, but that's not enough to turn that agency around. 375 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 2: So and whoever the Attorney general is, they're not going 376 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 2: to be doing the prosecutions. 377 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: Well, you're right, you have US attorneys and others that 378 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: do that. But I think your larger point is completely 379 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: completely dead on, absolutely correct. You're going to have to 380 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: clean house
