1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Don't be disrespecting our trucker. Michael and Dragon. We'd love him. 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 2: Somebody's got a crush on the trucker. 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 3: And I was I didn't say anything. I said, ooh, careful, careful, 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 3: But we have cockroaches in the this morning, two cockroaches. 5 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 3: I sit down and I come back and I'm just 6 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 3: kind of getting things ready to go, and I look 7 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 3: over and it's it's just close enough. It was right 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 3: over here by my mouse cockroach and mouse together that 9 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 3: I saw it, recognized it as a cockroach, but it 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: was just off color enough to give me instantaneous realization 11 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 3: it was fake. It was slightly darker, I think, yes, 12 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: just a little bit darker because I had too much 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 3: of a plastic shine on it. 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, okay. 15 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 3: But I didn't notice the second one until I was 16 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 3: getting ready for my whatever my next sponsor was getting 17 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 3: that ready, and I looked over and saw one over 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: there too, And actually it's probably and where you put 19 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: it over there, it's probably better because the shine's not 20 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 3: on it, so it appears darker. So probably if i'd 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: seen that one first, I might have well, it need 22 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 3: to be this one. This one's way too fake looking. 23 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 3: If the lighter colored one, if it was a little darker, 24 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 3: if you had placed it in the shadows, could have 25 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: been real. 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: And those are the only two that you found so far. 27 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: As he gets up, moves the chair, walks around. Okay, 28 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: all right, who said they're only in the studio. 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm not looked by. Don't you be touching 30 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: my cubicle? So that's my little private space right there. 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: Don't you be touching that, Like your laptop just miraculously 32 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: makes it own way into it into your bag. I'm 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: sure lost and gone forever. 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: No, that's looks everywhere for cockroaches. You know you are 35 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: a cockroach. You know you just it's like you just. 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 4: Neig your bomb. Nothing, it's just we can't get rid 37 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 4: of you. Just stuck, stuck. 38 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, both of us have been fired from this place 39 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: multiple times. 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 4: I asked for you. 41 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: That's that's the bizarre part. That's problem that idiot I am. 42 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 3: I think probably one of the hardest parts of figuring 43 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: out what's really going going on in the conflict with 44 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 3: the Iranians, it's trying to find a way to cut 45 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 3: through all the layers of all the bull crap propaganda 46 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: hitting us from all sides, I mean every side of 47 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: this story. I am beginning to find most of my 48 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 3: real news on X and I would say too a 49 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: lot of the subscription think tanks and others that I 50 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: subscribe to. And it's been a real eye open over 51 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: the last two weeks which accounts can be trusted or 52 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 3: not trusted, And some of the foreign policy think tanks 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: that have usually been pretty much down the middle are 54 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 3: kind of starting to swerve one side or another. The 55 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: biggest part of the problem, of course, is that the 56 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: feverish pursuit of clicks now completely trumps any need or 57 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: desire for any fact checking whatsoever, not only among posters 58 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: and influences in social media, but among podcasters and traditional 59 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: legacy media outlets to cabal or even some of the 60 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: more well known domestic and foreign think tanks. It isn't 61 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 3: related to necessarily to the conflict, but what I would 62 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 3: consider to be one of the most trusted posters on X, 63 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: Steve Guest, capture the motives of the cabal perfectly here 64 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: He wrote this, If you wanted to see what disinformation 65 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 3: looks like, it is what NBC, ABC and CBS published 66 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: in response to the terrorist attack in New York. Stories 67 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: like this are not designed to actually inform readers. They're 68 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: designed to confuse readers. And he is quote posting he 69 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: used to used to say, quote tweeting AG Hamilton, someone 70 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: else who I think is reliable, who had said, we 71 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: have actual video of a now identified man screaming all 72 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 3: the bar and lighting and throwing an incendiary device. Not 73 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: one of the headlines that he then includes accurately portrays 74 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 3: what occurred. And if you go back, and if you 75 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 3: go on the way back machine and you look at 76 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: some of the headlines originally posted online by some of 77 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: the usual suspects of the cabal, it usually is, Oh, 78 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: you know, it's kind of like the whole thing of 79 00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: when you have a horrific accident and the the identity 80 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: of the perp you know or somebody you know, someone's 81 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 3: throat gets sliced on a light rail somewhere, or somebody 82 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 3: gets their house broken into, and there's no information about 83 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: you know, the perp, their ethnicity, their skin color, their height, 84 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: their status as a citizen non citizen. These biased outlets 85 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: contentionally lie to us, both overtly and by leaving out 86 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: key information about In the case of New York the 87 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: nature of the bomber. He's an Islamic terrorists who did 88 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: not attack Marmam Danni, but other protesters opposed to his policies. 89 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 3: They ended up screwing what really took place. We saw 90 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: the same dynamic at play last week related to the 91 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: mass shooter on Sixth Street in Austin who killed three 92 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: and wounded another eleven late night partiers while also shelling 93 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: all odd bar as he pulled the trigger, and then 94 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 3: we couldn't figure out what he might be a domestic 95 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: terrorism mont when he had a T shirt on under 96 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 3: his other shirt about you know I'm owned. 97 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: By a law. 98 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: Really, Gee, can't figure that one out. You need mister 99 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 3: Peabody here or somebody to go investigate that. Now, related 100 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: to Iran, we see the entire Cobal complex choosing to 101 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: simply pair it without any critical analysis whatsoever. The Iran 102 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 3: government's propaganda claiming that either a US or an Israeli 103 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 3: missile hit a girls school in Tehran in the first 104 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: days of the assault, killing more than one hundred and 105 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 3: fifty young kids. It's a completely unfound a bit of 106 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 3: the same sort of ransom propaganda deployed by Hamas and Gaza, 107 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 3: which most likely never happened, yet every host on the 108 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 3: Sunday Morning disinformation shows posed a slanted question about it 109 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: to the Trump administration officials that were showing up yesterday 110 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: on the Sunday shows. We saw the same thing on 111 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: fighting related to a suppose of bombing by the US 112 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 3: and or Israel of a water desalination plant in Iran, 113 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: a report by the Iran government which no other source 114 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 3: of being able to confirm. Is just repeated it across 115 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: social media, podcasts the Cabal without any critical examination or comment. 116 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: Someone who goes by limitless no alpha limits on X 117 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: the US just bombed the water plant. Read that again. 118 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: America just struck a fresh water desalination plant on Kayne 119 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: Island in Iran. 120 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't have, but. 121 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: ABCNBC and cn and we're thrilled to report it as 122 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 3: if it did. Meanwhile, confirm reports that Iran has bombed 123 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 3: desalination plants in Bahrain, the UA and elsewhere will largely 124 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: just unremarked, unreported in the US media. 125 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: I don't even think it's it's not even fog of 126 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: war kind of reporting. 127 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 3: It's almost borderline trees, and it's almost borderline we're actually 128 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: trying to propagandize on behalf of the enemy. And here's 129 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 3: the thing, it's all so unnecessary. Just last week, one 130 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: of the better weeks I've had on CKS by simply 131 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 3: putting up a series of posts containing facts about the 132 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 3: or reposting things about the Biden's draining of the. 133 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 4: US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. 134 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: We mentioned that I think either Friday or it must 135 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: have been Friday here also brought it up on the 136 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: weekend program and how Trump's energy dominance policies and the 137 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 3: Shell Revolution are insulating the United States consumers from the 138 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 3: worst impacts of the closing of the strait of her moves. 139 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 4: And I used closing. 140 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: In a very broad term, because it's not like the 141 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: Uranians have done a blockade. It's more like Lloyd's in 142 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 3: London's decided we don't want to take the risk. When 143 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 3: I posted yesterday, yesterday or Saturday, I don't remember. But 144 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: the Information Institute has a great graft which you can 145 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: find over my ex account at Michael D. Brown, which 146 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 3: shows the price of a barrel of oil going back decades. 147 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: The highest was. 148 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 3: Depending on who you look to and what type of 149 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: crude you're measuring one hundred and twenty two to one 150 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty four dollars a barrel. Now that's pretty 151 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: significant because I'm hearing right now that, oh my gosh, 152 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: oil just top one hundred. 153 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: Dollars a barrel. 154 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's not the first time that's happened. It's happened 155 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: lots of times. 156 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: And when you think about it, yesterday not actually yesterday, 157 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: earlier this or late last. Sometime last week, China urged 158 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 3: the Iranians to reopen the Strait of horm Moods. Why 159 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 3: because China desperately needs its Middle Eastern crude. But just 160 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 3: one problem. Iran didn't close the strait. Lloyd's of London 161 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: and the other London insurance reinsures who take their cues 162 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 3: from Lloyd's, they're the ones that actually closed it. So 163 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 3: the question becomes, why did the Lloyds do that. Iran's 164 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: ability to attack tankers is seriously degraded. 165 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 4: Now. 166 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 3: Is Lloyd's just after more money or is there another 167 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 3: agenda behind the scenes to which the public is not 168 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: privy Does the Prime minister does? 169 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Does a starmer? 170 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 3: Does a liberal government? The labor government in the UK? 171 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: Have they suddenly aggressed it is there aggressive turn against 172 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 3: the United States have anything to do with it. I 173 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: think it's a question worth at least asking. President Trump's 174 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 3: move to have US step into to indemnify shippers is 175 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: a bold one that's designed to force Lloyd's of London's hand, 176 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 3: and then Trump's promise of US naval escorts only increases 177 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: the pressure on the insurers. They can now either get 178 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: their new contracts in place quickly or they can start 179 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: facing a significant loss of business. So what's the real 180 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 3: agenda here? We're about to find out, I think sometime 181 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: this week. Strategic Petroleum Reserve fact check for all the 182 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: fake know it alls, especially in the in the cabal 183 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: who want to blame Trump for the now depleted condition 184 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The facts Joe Biden reduced 185 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 3: it by a net two hundred forty million barrels of 186 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 3: oil and in so doing, which is another thing that 187 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 3: drove me crazy. Yesterday people talking about, well, you know, 188 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 3: they would they would they would give a half assed 189 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 3: correct answer. Yes, Joe Biden, during an election tried to 190 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 3: reduce gas prices by reducing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The 191 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: spr buy in that two hundred and forty million barrels 192 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 3: of oil, and then they bitch and moan about the 193 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 3: fact the Trump is taking so long to fill it 194 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: back up. What they miss is that when Biden did 195 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: that hasty withdrawal, he damaged some of the underground caverns 196 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 3: by pulling out and dimisioning, diminishing the internal pressures too rapidly. 197 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: So Trump's added I don't know, thirty million or so 198 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: barrels back over the last year. Despite all the technical issues. 199 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 3: It was caused by the abuse from Joe Biden. And 200 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: that's the truth about the SBR. All else is just 201 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: smelly bull crap. And I'd had a footnote too. You know, 202 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 3: the withdrawals during the first Trump term were forced by 203 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 3: Congress in stupid programs to mascots out of control's spending habits. 204 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 3: So do they't even try to go there now. I'm 205 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: small potatoes and eggs twenty one twenty two thousand followers. 206 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: That's great, I don't find because I'm you know, the 207 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 3: ones that I the followers I have are really well 208 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: engaged and bring up really good points sometimes. But I 209 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 3: think followers becauds of the number or regardless of well 210 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 3: whatever it count is I think people over on x 211 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 3: and other some of the social media platforms. Plus, I 212 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 3: think consumers of news from the cabal are sick to 213 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: death of being overwhelmed with just rank propaganda. And I 214 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 3: think everybody's really has a hunger for real truth on 215 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 3: these complex topics. It's the back purveyors of rancid anti 216 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 3: American propaganda. 217 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: Just listen as Bill Maher completely exposes the worst person. 218 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 3: In America today, shifty Adam Shift, now a United States Senator. 219 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 3: Sometimes it drives me nuts, so we can get it 220 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: to go again. 221 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 5: This statement from the administration, the president had the constitutional 222 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 5: authority to direct the use of military force because he 223 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 5: could reasonably determine that's such use of force was in 224 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 5: the national interest. 225 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: That's too vague for you. 226 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 5: Totally vague, okay, because that's from Obama. 227 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: Bam, oh oh, oh, Adam. 228 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 4: Listen to that carefully again. 229 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 5: This statement from the administration. The president had the constitutional 230 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 5: authority to direct the use of military force because he 231 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 5: could reasonably determine that's such use of force was in 232 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 5: the national interest. 233 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: That's too vague for you. Totally vague, okay, because. 234 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 5: That's from Obama about Olivia. 235 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 6: Well, Obama made the argument initially that he could go 236 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 6: into Syria without authorsation, Like the statement that Bill Moore 237 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 6: is reading to Adam Schiff is a about Obama's war 238 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 6: in Libya. 239 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 3: Adam Schiff, Well, but you know Labama was talking to Bill. 240 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 3: Let's talk about Syria instead. Well, it's brutal and it's 241 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: fun at the same time. And then there's this guy 242 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 3: who is currently giving Adam Schiff a race for the 243 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 3: title of just dumber than a box of rocks. Tucker 244 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 3: Carlson telling some podcaster that President Trump wants victorious US 245 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 3: troops and he wants, you know, total surrender so that 246 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 3: our troops can rape Iranian women and girls. Wants the 247 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 3: government they're unconditionally surrenders. I thought this was fake. I 248 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 3: thought this was so outlandishly stupid that it had to 249 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 3: be a I until I went to the original source, 250 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: to Tucker's platform itself, and sure. 251 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 7: Enough, I can do sounder means foreign troops get to 252 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 7: rape your wife and daughter if they want, and everyone 253 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 7: knows that, and that has been if there's one consistent 254 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 7: lesson of history means unconditional surrender means foreign troops get 255 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 7: to rape your wife and daughter. Everyone can feel that 256 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 7: that's like the most datavistic instinct there. 257 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: Is, and so to avoid that, people will do anything. 258 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 7: And so that's why it requires that level of force 259 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 7: to get a population subdued to the point of unconditional surrender. 260 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 7: That's why. And so in this case, of course, we 261 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 7: don't have the ground force necessary. I don't think Americans 262 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 7: would voluntarily participate in it. I just don't think we 263 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 7: can do that. It would require weapons of mass destruction. 264 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 7: It would require presumably nuclear weapons in order to do that. 265 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 7: And let's not lou to ourselves, we're living toward that. 266 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: Wow. 267 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: Now I know that Carlson's audience has been vastly diminished 268 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: from where it was before you went completely crazy with 269 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 3: his jew adred all starting last summer. They still a 270 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 3: big influencer on the right. Well, what kind of irrational 271 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 3: borderline in sanate insane commentary is that? It's probably why 272 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 3: President Trump said last week the Tucker's lost his way 273 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: and that he knew that a long time ago, and 274 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: he's not maga. And then, but I kept thinking, unconditional 275 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 3: surrender means that our troops then go in and rape 276 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 3: women and children. I don't remember seeing any of that 277 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 3: after World War Two, in which the Japanese Imperial Army 278 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 3: unconditionally surrendered to MacArthur. And did we just go willing 279 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 3: Nelly raping everybody through Japan or throughout the Indo Pacific. 280 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 4: No, we did not. 281 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 3: What kind of backcrap crazy is going on here? So 282 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 3: suffice it to say that just ferreting out the truth 283 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 3: among the mountain of lies and propaganda that's emanating from 284 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 3: all facets in the media every day has never been 285 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: more challenging than it is right now, even more so 286 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 3: than even I think during the COVID era. But what 287 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 3: we've got to do is continuing to do our best 288 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: to figure out everything and understand is that really true, 289 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: not true, partially true, not partially true. We've got to 290 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 3: be even more discerning in what we consume and what 291 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 3: we believe. 292 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: Brannie, every time I'm in town, I'm begging you to go. 293 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 4: Get tacos with me. 294 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: I guess I got a new fan now, Alexa, you 295 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 3: want to go get some tacos? Alexa, don't do it. 296 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 3: Don't do it. We are not responding when we're not 297 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 3: the dating game. Two, we're not matchmakers, and I cannot 298 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 3: be responsible for anything from either one of them, because 299 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 3: they're both. 300 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 4: Pretty much crazy. 301 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 2: Think of the ego on him to believe that we 302 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 2: were talking about him, let alone Alexa was talking. 303 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 4: That's a good point too. 304 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: We do have more than one trucker that listens to 305 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 2: this show, and we have our favorite Yeah, certainly do. 306 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and we don't. We have made no bones. We 307 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 3: clearly admit we have our favorite truckers. Chuck shimmers on 308 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 3: a roll. He was asked yesterday. I forget where he was. 309 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 3: But it doesn't make any. 310 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 8: Difference until the Save Act passes. That means the President's 311 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 8: asking for total gridlock. The Save Act will not pass 312 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 8: because it is such a pernicious, nasty piece of legislation. 313 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 4: Well, I like that pernicious, nasty piece of legislation. 314 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 8: The Save Act is Jim Crow two point zero. Oh, 315 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 8: more than twenty million people would lose their right to vote. 316 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: Dot that sit there for a moment. More than twenty 317 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 3: million people will lose their right to vote. That would 318 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 3: be Jim Crow two pointo. 319 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 8: And you would need to register either a passport or 320 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 8: your original birth certificate. How many people have that? How 321 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 8: many people have that? It would eliminate vote by mail? 322 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 8: Tell that to a senior citizen who's confined to their 323 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 8: home in a wheelchair that they're going to lose their 324 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 8: right to vote. 325 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 2: And. 326 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: He would purge the voter rolls. 327 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 8: Using a AI system set up by Musk and Doge, 328 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 8: So you could show up at the polling place this 329 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 8: November and they say you're no longer on the rolls. 330 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: They don't even notify you of it. 331 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 8: Millions of people would be purged from the rolls because 332 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 8: of this system that Musk and Doge put in. 333 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: You wouldn't be notified. 334 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 8: You'd show up at the polling place and they'd say, sorry, 335 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 8: mister Jones, sorry Miss Smith, you're not on the rolls anymore. 336 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 8: They don't even notify you. This is one of the 337 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 8: nastiest pieces of legislation that have ever seen. It is 338 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 8: going back to the Old South where people were prohibited 339 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 8: from voting, and spreading it to every corner of America. 340 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: It is Jim Crow two point zero. 341 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 3: Somebody's sign. The text line, you repeat a lie long 342 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: enough and it becomes true. Well, Bubbles here is doing 343 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 3: exactly that. Just keep repeating it over and over and over. 344 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 8: And when Trump says that he will not sign any 345 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 8: legislation until Congress passes Doche mister President, we ain't passing DOGE. 346 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: You are calling for gridlock. 347 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 4: Wait, wait a. 348 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 3: Minute, the president is calling for gridlock. What's TSA? I 349 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: have in my pos here stories about TSA and the 350 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 3: lines because the workers are not getting paid, so they're 351 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 3: calling in sick and they're you know, they're doing a 352 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 3: slow down. They're going elsewhere because they need to pay 353 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 3: their bills. 354 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:01,199 Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, Well in the entire Congress and of the 355 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 8: bills that will help reduce the costs to people for 356 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 8: prescription drugs, for electricity. 357 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 3: Now, Schumer's figure traces directly to a single source, a 358 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three survey commissioned by the Brennan Center for 359 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 3: Justice at New York University in partnership with Vote Writers, 360 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 3: public Wise, and the University of Maryland Center for Democracy 361 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 3: and Civic Engagement. 362 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 2: Now. 363 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 3: That survey found The survey says that nine point one 364 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: percent of Americans of American citizens of voting age, about 365 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 3: twenty one point three million people lack quote ready access 366 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: to a document proving citizenship, such as a birth certificate, 367 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: a passport, a naturalization certificate, or a citizenship certificate. Now 368 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 3: that same survey also found that of the twenty one 369 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 3: point three million lacking ready access, three point eight million 370 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 3: don't have those documents at all. Now that's the data. 371 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 3: Everything Schumer says flows from that number, and he's been 372 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 3: using it interchangeably twenty million, twenty one million, tens of million, 373 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 3: depending on which interviewer, which is in the floor speech 374 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 3: you're reading or hearing on any given particular day. But 375 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: here's where the cross examination begins, because this is where 376 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 3: the argument completely falls apart. Ready access in the Brennan 377 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 3: Center survey means the ability to produce the documents within 378 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 3: twenty four hours. 379 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 4: Now I can, I think I can. 380 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 3: I think Cameron and I both, for whatever reason, still 381 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 3: have a certified copy of our birth certificates in the safe. 382 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 3: I'd have to go check, but I'm pretty sure they're 383 00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 3: still there. And our passports are always readily available because 384 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 3: I never know what I got to escape the country. 385 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 3: Lacking ready access is not the same as can never 386 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 3: obtain the documents. It means I don't have them in 387 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 3: my hand right now or my filing cabinet at home 388 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 3: like I do. 389 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 7: Now. 390 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 3: Schumer's claiming that those twenty twenty one million people will 391 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 3: not be able to vote. Requires you to accept that 392 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: every single one of those twenty one point three million 393 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 3: citizens will either a need to register or re register, 394 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 3: have to say Act takes effect, b will be unable 395 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 3: to obtain any qualifying document through any other means, or 396 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 3: c that those twenty one point three million will not 397 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 3: pursue any of the bills alternative pathways, and then finally 398 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: they'll just give up. Now, that's an extraordinary chain of 399 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 3: assumptions that Chuck Schumer dresses up as a factual statement. 400 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 3: Now of that twenty one point three million, three point 401 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 3: eight million people don't have those documents at all, meaning 402 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 3: the other seventeen and a half million do have them, 403 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 3: just not at their fingertips within twenty four hours. Now 404 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 3: they can get birth certificates, they can't obtain passports, They 405 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 3: could find their naturalization certificates. Schumer's argument conflates in convenience 406 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 3: with disenfranchisement. Now Schumer says, the same Act forces you 407 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 3: to produce a passport or your original birth certificate full stop. Well, 408 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 3: that's a real significant oversimplification of. 409 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 4: What to say. 410 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 3: Act actually does the acceptable documentary proof of citizenship for 411 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 3: voter registration under the House pass Bill to sitting in 412 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 3: the Senate somewhere in purgatory, includes an ID that complies 413 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 3: with the Real ID Act that indicates US citizenship or 414 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 3: a valid passport or military ID, together with maybe a 415 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: US Military service record indicating that the applicant's birthplace was 416 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 3: in the United States, a government issued photo ID indicating 417 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 3: the applicant's birthplace within the United States, or any other 418 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 3: government issued photo ID that does not indicate birthplace or citizenship, 419 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: but taken together with another specified document does show that. 420 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 3: I'm not telling you any sort of secret here. You 421 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: can go dig around at Congress dot gov and find 422 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 3: the same information. But there's more. There's absolutely more, of course, 423 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 3: there always is more. 424 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: Hey, Brownie, I'm sure there's quite a few of US 425 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: retired truckers that listen to you every day as well. 426 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: Have a good day. 427 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,239 Speaker 3: I was trying to think of things smartest to say 428 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 3: about a retired trucker, but I couldn't think of anything smartest. 429 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, that didn't work out. 430 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 4: Well, Yeah, No, do you have anything you'd like to 431 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 4: add about a retired trucker? 432 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? 433 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, wish I could think of something because I just, 434 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 3: you know, because just because of a tone and you know, 435 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 3: just you know, don't forget best retired people. 436 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 2: Now you know what, Pisha, Congratulations, Congratulations. 437 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 3: Now here's more, though, the same act explicitly preserves the 438 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 3: provisional ballot, so nothing in the Act can be construed 439 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 3: to supersede, restrict or otherwise affect the ability of any 440 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 3: individual to cast a provisional ballot in an election for 441 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 3: federal office or to have that ballot counted in the 442 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: election if the individual is verified as a citizen of 443 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 3: the country, and the most recent version of the bill 444 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 3: has passed by the House added an affidavit process. 445 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 4: So the legislation includes. 446 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 3: Guidelines for name discrepancies and proof for citizenship documents, including 447 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 3: an affidavit signed by the applicant, a testing that the 448 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 3: name on the documentation is a previous name of the applicant. Now, 449 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: are those alternative pathways perfect? 450 00:27:59,000 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 5: No? 451 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 3: Are the legitimate implementation concerns. Of course, there are some 452 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: real administrative challenges and there are some real costs, But 453 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 3: honest people can argue about those. But Schumer isn't presenting 454 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 3: honest policy analysis. He's presenting the worst case scenario and 455 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 3: framing that is settled fact And here's a critical point 456 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 3: that almost never gets addressed by these Democrats. The Save 457 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 3: Act applies to registration, not devoting, by already registered voters. 458 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 3: The Save acts show your Papers requirement is not just 459 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 3: limited to new registrations, but rather applies to every application 460 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 3: to registered to vote, which in some jurisdiction includes reregistrations, 461 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 3: you know, a reregistration or maybe a change of address. 462 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: So the people most immediately affected are new registrants and 463 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 3: somebody who moves changes their names, which is parties. Not 464 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 3: every registered voter in America on day one has to 465 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 3: do this. And the brig Center itself, which Checkie relies on, 466 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 3: acknowledges that although it's buried in the it buries the 467 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 3: admission in its larger argument. 468 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: So let's talk. 469 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: About the source. The Brinton Center says they're a nonpartisan. 470 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 3: It's a law and policy organization housed at New York University. 471 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 3: Its explicit mission is expanding voter access. Its own vice 472 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 3: president for Democracy called this bill the worst voting bill 473 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 3: to be passed by Congress and memory likely. Ever, that's 474 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 3: not a research finding, that's advocacy when your own research 475 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 3: organization spokesperson is making that kind of statement. You're not 476 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 3: getting neutral social science. You're getting litigation support dressed as data. Now, 477 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: the survey dishum relies on was conducted by the Bretain 478 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 3: Center in collaboration with Vote Writers and Public Wise. As 479 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 3: I said, both of which are explicitly voting access advocacy organizations. 480 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 3: The University of Maryland Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement 481 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 3: at least has academic standing. But the survey's design they're 482 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 3: framing in the twenty four hour definition of ready access. 483 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 3: Those were choices made by those organizations in order to 484 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 3: get to a pre existing conclusion. Now, Schumer's theory were correct, 485 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 3: that proof of citizenship requires instantly disenfranchises nine percent of 486 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 3: the electorate, you'd expect to see catastrophic votes or drops 487 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 3: in voter rolls in states that have tried similar requirements, 488 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 3: like in Arizona. In Kansas, they blocked tens of thousands 489 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 3: of citizens from registering. In Kansas, the show your Paper's 490 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: policy was struck now asign constitutional and recently product criticism 491 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 3: even from Kansas Republican Secretary of State. According to the 492 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 3: Brennan Center, now tens of thousands is not nothing. It's 493 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 3: a legitimate concern. That we ought a debate, but it 494 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 3: is nowhere close to nine percent of all eligible voters. 495 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 3: Arizona's proof of citizenship requirement for their state elections did 496 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: create some documented barriers, but the apocalyptic disenfranchisement humor predicts 497 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 3: no empirical basis in the states that actually ran this experiment. 498 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 3: So his twenty million figure is traceable to real survey data, 499 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 3: but it's also based on a predetermined outcome. Is a 500 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 3: rhetorical sleight of hand.
