1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Michael, I wouldn't mind getting tax credits. That's money left 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: in my pocket. 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 2: But the problem is that. 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that the government's going to spend less. So 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: if we could get tax credits for things that may 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: or may not be good or okay from the year 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: of the environment and still get the government to spend 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 1: less money than it's win win. But I know that 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: won't happen. 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, you just you just walked yourself right out of 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 3: your own argument. And in addition to that, the other 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 3: thing that's struck me. And I'm not picking on what 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 3: I am picking on you because you left the thought back. 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 3: But you want tax credits that benefit you. You want 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 3: a tax credit. Let's say that you you want Let's 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 3: say you're a you're a hunter, You're a you're you'd 17 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 3: love to fly fish. So you want tax credits to 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: go buy some new fishing gear and gear at Cabela's 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 3: or wherever you wherever you get you know, or of 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 3: us wherever you go. Do you want stuff? You see, 21 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: everybody wants their stuff for themselves. I'm not saying I'm 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 3: many different. Would I take a tax credit for whatever? Yeah, 23 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 3: give me a tax credit for something, But that's not 24 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 3: how we should be operating tax credits. All these tax 25 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 3: incentives are all ultimately geared toward special interests, and or 26 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: they're geared towards some objective in trying to get you 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 3: to change your behavior. And I don't want government influencing 28 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 3: my behavior or the marketplace. 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 4: Leave me alone. 30 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 3: And in fact, your conflicting ideas, Oh, you'd love a 31 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 3: tax credit for something you like, at the same time 32 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: you want the government to reduce spending. You're asking the 33 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: government to reduce spending. At the same time that you 34 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 3: for whatever it is that you prefer, you want to 35 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: pay less taxes. You can't have both. I mean, I 36 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: guess you could have both, but eventually you will not 37 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 3: have any government at all, and that'll be anarchy, and 38 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,559 Speaker 3: well then there's the end of civilization. 39 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 4: So be careful what you wish for. I don't I wouldn't. 40 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: Mind paying a reasonable amount of taxes. If I saw 41 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 3: our for example, let's start at the top, if I 42 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 3: saw the federal government cutting out all the craft that 43 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: we spend money on. The federal government shouldn't be spending 44 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 3: money on and we actually were, you know, truly giving 45 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: the weaponry that our military needs to defend ourselves. I 46 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 3: don't want to get off on this tangent here too much, 47 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: but one reason why I think that Trump is beginning 48 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 3: to kind of focus on South America is have they 49 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: given up on the Indo Pacific? Have they given up 50 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 3: on Eastern Europe? Can we not fight? Are we incapable 51 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: of fighting a world war? My gut tells me we 52 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: might be incapable now, much like in World War Two. 53 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: We might be able to ramp up quickly enough that 54 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 3: we could eventually overcome it. But wouldn't you rather be 55 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 3: ahead of the curve when World War three starts, as 56 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: opposed to being behind the curve? 57 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 4: Well? 58 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 3: Why are we behind the curve? Because, as I pointed 59 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: out earlier, fifty percent of our budget's going to income 60 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: redistribution transfer programs. We shouldn't be doing that. I'm never 61 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: going to get the amount of money either that I've 62 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: paid directly into Social Security, or if I had been 63 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: required to take that and put that into a private 64 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 3: investment account, just into Dow Jones Industrial average, I would 65 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: have been so much better off and would be able 66 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: to withdraw so much much more than I'll ever get 67 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 3: paid from Social Security. We do things back assword and 68 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: why do we do them? Because this was some free money? Oh, 69 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: it drives me nuts. The other thing that drives me 70 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: nuts is this situation in des Moines with the des 71 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: Moines Independent School District. I know it's an old story, 72 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 3: but I don't want to let this story die because 73 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 3: I've been trying to figure out. 74 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 4: How did this happen? 75 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 3: If if you've ever had a child in school, or 76 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: you currently have grandchildren in school, or you just care 77 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: about where your tax dollars go, aren't you asking yourself 78 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: why is this story dying off? And why don't we 79 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 3: know more about how this guy got hired? How did 80 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: we hire? How did the des Moines Public schools hire 81 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: a superintendent who had a criminal record, was in the 82 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: country illegally? And their only response is, well, we hired 83 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 3: a company to do it, and he filled out all 84 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 3: the requirements and he had a social Security number and 85 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: he had a driver's license, so that was good enough. 86 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: You didn't like check around to see did you what 87 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 3: was your work history? Did you work at any other schools? 88 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: Were you a superintendent or a principal or even a 89 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: classroom teacher somewhere? Were you a counselor somewhere. Well, I 90 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: would put it this way, sanctuary city and sanctuary state, 91 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 3: just sanctuary policies in general usually get defended as because 92 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: they're compassionate, they're humane. It's designed to shield all those 93 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: vulnerable illegal aliens from the heavy hand of the federal 94 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: government enforcing the law. The doctor Ian Roberts, the superintendent 95 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 3: in question here, an armed and dangerous fugitive that managed 96 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 3: to run Iowa's largest school district, actually reveals the lethal 97 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: downside of those kinds of policies. The scandal demonstrates not 98 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 3: merely a breakdown at the local level, but it's a 99 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 3: much larger systemic failure that has been encouraged and sustained 100 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: by Democrat controlled jurisdictions there refuse to safeguard their communities 101 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 3: against fraud, crime, and corruption. Consider the most basic question 102 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: about citizenship. I had listened to a totally irrelevant There 103 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: was a thing on my ex timeline yesterday from Tucker 104 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 3: Carlson about Israel, and he was on his rand about 105 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 3: Israel again, and it kind of drives me crazy, But 106 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: trying to listen to it with a nuanced, critical thinking mind. 107 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 3: He made some really good points about American citizenship. And 108 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 3: so let's first consider the most basic question of citizenship. 109 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: If you live in a Democrat controlled state, here, you're 110 00:06:53,160 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: simply asked to affirm your eligibility to vote, no verification. 111 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 3: Show us your birth certificate, show us your green car, 112 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 3: show us you know that you actually and even beyond 113 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: just citizenship of the United States of America, show me 114 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: that you're a citizen of the state in which you're 115 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: going to vote. And then show me proof that you're 116 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: a citizen of that precinct in which you're going to vote, 117 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 3: or that congressional district, whether or state or federal, you know, 118 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: representative district, so that we know you're actually voting where 119 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: you're supposed to vote. I live in Douglas County. I 120 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: should not be voting for representatives unless they happen to 121 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: be you know, crossover the district's crossover county lines. I 122 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 3: shouldn't be voting for somebody that lives in Larimer County. 123 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: To give an example where it couldn't possibly be true, 124 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 3: I should not be voting for a state rep or 125 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 3: a county commissioner in Larimer County when I live in 126 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: Douglas County. So there's no verification, and then we never reconcile. 127 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 3: In this day and age, when we have we're building 128 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: billions of dollars worth of data centers for artificial intelligence, 129 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 3: When we have government agencies at the federal, state. 130 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 4: And local level who all. 131 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: Have massive databases about our lives, you would be when 132 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: I sometimes stop and just think about the amount of 133 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 3: information because of my background that the federal government has 134 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: about me. 135 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 4: It's absolutely overwhelming. 136 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: When when I started law school, you have I don't 137 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 3: know whether this is still true or not, but at 138 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: the time I started law school, I had to register 139 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: with the Bar Association because if they were going they 140 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 3: assumed that, you know, I might eventually graduate, which was 141 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,839 Speaker 3: maybe kind of iffy with me, and that I might 142 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,359 Speaker 3: kind of my might actually pass the bar exam, which maybe. 143 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 4: Might have been iffy with me. Absolutely was not iffy 144 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 4: at all, and. 145 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: So the Bar Association required for me to submit an 146 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: entire document about my background, including fingerprints, had to go 147 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: to local sheriff's office, had my fingerprints done, and so 148 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 3: that was kind of my first FORAY, not even counting 149 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: my bursts if they got but that was my first 150 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: kind of cognizant foray into oh, my privacy. I'm really 151 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 3: giving up a lot of information here. And then I 152 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 3: get to you know, I get to the federal government, 153 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: and because of my clearances, now they've got everything. They 154 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: got my tax It starts with tax returns going back 155 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: ten years places I've lived for the previous ten or 156 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 3: fifteen years, and then you know, lists of neighbors, and 157 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: then when the FBI does a full field background check, 158 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: they actually go talk to neighbors. We had people call 159 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: us and say, are you in trouble? The FBI just 160 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 3: came to our door asking about you know, when you 161 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: lived across the street from US fifteen twenty years ago, 162 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: did they see me? Did you see anything suspicious? Did 163 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 3: they have wild parties where there were their drug exchanges 164 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: in the middle of the night. I mean, that's literally 165 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: what they do. And they go back a long time. 166 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 4: But let's think. 167 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: About just voting citizenship. All these databases. You're in a 168 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 3: database somewhere unless you're well. Even Teed Kazinski was on 169 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: a database. So the unit bomber was in a database somewhere. 170 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: Voter rolls are never reconciled or compared to or cross 171 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: checked whatever verb you want to use with immigration records. 172 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: So Ian Roberts, a non citizen that had an active 173 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 3: removal order, registered to vote in Maryland. Don't even don't 174 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,359 Speaker 3: even get to Iowa yet. He registered to vote in Maryland. 175 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 3: And you know what, he is still well, at least 176 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 3: as of yesterday, he's still on the voter rolls in Maryland. 177 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 3: The Department of Justice is currently suing Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, 178 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 3: New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, all trying to compel them 179 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: to clean. 180 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: Up their voter rolls. 181 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 3: And there is opposition to the DOJS simply saying to 182 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: those states, they all say it to Colorado, they all 183 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 3: to say it to every state. I don't care whether 184 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 3: you're a red state or a blue state. Unless you're 185 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 3: already actively doing it, we should clean the voter rolls. 186 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 3: If I don't vote. Quite frankly, i'd make it pretty tight. 187 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: If I don't vote for a calendar year in any 188 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: election anywhere in Colorado, I hot to be removed. 189 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 4: All I know. 190 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 3: Votings are right, but with that right comes responsibilities. And 191 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: what you ought to do is you ought to be 192 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: required if you're not going to exercise that right to vote, 193 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: then we're going to take you off the roll. And 194 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: if you decide some point that you decide, oh, I 195 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 3: got to go vote against Donald Trump because he's Satan incarnate, 196 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 3: then you ought to be required to go reregister, some 197 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 3: actual responsibility to exercise that precious right of citizenship that 198 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 3: gives you the right to vote. But the refusal to 199 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: cross check against dhs ICE and the US Citizenship and 200 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 3: Information Services databases, that's not accidental. That is a deliberate 201 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: thing that the federal government does because that undermines election 202 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 3: integrity and allows Democrats to cheat. So citizenship, nobody ever thought, Okay, 203 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: you're registered to vote in Maryland. 204 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 4: Have you voted? 205 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: Uh, maybe we ought to go check your criminal records 206 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 3: in Maryland. No such thing, but now let's go to 207 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 3: That kind of swerves us into law enforcement itself. Now, 208 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 3: Ian Roberts has claimed publicly he was charged with fourth 209 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 3: degree gun possession, but he says that it was related 210 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 3: to a deer hunting trip. Then why was he arrested 211 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: by the New York Port Authority. I don't think as 212 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 3: many times as I've been at the headquarters of the 213 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 3: New York Port Authority, I've used New York Port Authority 214 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: infrastructure like the triborough Bridge or the Lincoln Tunnel. 215 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 4: I've never seen a deer. I've never seen a deer. 216 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 3: In Mintown, Manhattan or Lower Manhattan. I've never seen a 217 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 3: deer on the triborough Bridge. The official records of arrest 218 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 3: have since been sealed by a New York State judge. 219 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: So now his narrative about a hunting trip, well, that 220 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: adds even more doubt to it. But at a minimum, 221 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 3: he was a prohibitive person under federal law from possessing 222 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 3: a gun, which makes it a felony for him to 223 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: own or possess a firearm. Now, had the cops run 224 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 3: his name against or the school had asked the local 225 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: law enforcement, he would you run his name against federal databases, 226 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 3: they might have discovered his deportation order and his illegal 227 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 3: presence in the country. But no sanctuary policies encourage and 228 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 3: in some places require cops to look the other way 229 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 3: and absolutely not cooperate under threat of getting terminated or disciplined. 230 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 3: If you do somehow cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, that 231 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 3: paves his way to continue his fraudulent career. And of course, 232 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 3: a school board who is hell bent on showing their 233 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: DEI you know qualities. Do you think they're going to 234 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 3: go do that? Of course not. But again, I think 235 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: the most obvious element of this story is not the 236 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: failure of voter rolls or law enforcement, because those are bad. 237 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: It's the institutional collapse of vetting at the highest levels 238 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: of public education. Turns out he was recruited by JG Consultant. 239 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 3: That is a firm that specializes in superintendent searches. He 240 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 3: was vetted by Baker EU Banks, a background check firm 241 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 3: led by form Miss America Ken Cockerham. Both firms signed 242 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: off on Roberts. Both recommended him to run the Des 243 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: Moines Independent School District. The school board, chaired by a 244 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 3: woman who once served as Michelle Obama's chief of staff. Yes, 245 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: I've confirmed that is true, and was a senior advisor 246 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 3: to President Obama, actually interviewed Roberts alongside some other candidates, 247 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: and in the end they voted unanimously to appoint him 248 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: as being superintendent. 249 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 4: How how. 250 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: A simple Google search reveals he never earned a legitimate 251 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 3: doctoral degree from an accredited university. A single phone call 252 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: to a place called Morgan State University would have confirmed 253 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 3: the fraud and even more damning. His prior school district 254 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania settled more than four hundred thousand dollars in 255 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: lawsuits involving his staff the same month he resigned, and 256 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: assume the new position in Iowa. Did G JG Consulting 257 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 3: inform the board about those lawsuits? If so, then why 258 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: did the board proceed? And if not, how could a 259 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 3: so called professional recruitment firm failed to disclose such a 260 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 3: glaring red flag? Now the board new Roberts had played 261 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: guilty to a gun charge just the year before. They 262 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 3: also permitted him to change district rules to allow the 263 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 3: hiring of employees with criminal records, including firearm offences. Did 264 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: they not think it strange that their superintendent carried a 265 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: loaded gun, a prohibited blade, and thousands of dollars a 266 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: cash from school of property. That's not trivial. Those are 267 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: significant oversights. Do you want your kid? You know? 268 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 4: I guess The point is this. 269 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 3: The blame obviously lays with the school board, federal officials, 270 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 3: a whole plethora of people, you know. Ultimately lays responsibility 271 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 3: with people that don't get involved in their local school districts, 272 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 3: people that may have gone. 273 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 4: To a school board meeting and seen the three. 274 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 3: Candadas being interviewed and looked at that guy and said, 275 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 3: I need to know more about that guy. 276 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 2: There's something fishing, Michael ed you're pointing out this morning. 277 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: People make stuff up on their resumes, and they outright why. 278 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 2: My uncle, for example, worked at Cornell University for years 279 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 2: in epidemiology, and the director of program, years after he 280 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: was appointed, was found to have made up a whole 281 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 2: bunch of fraudulent. 282 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 4: Claims on his resume. 283 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Yes it happened. 284 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 4: Yes, it happens. 285 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 5: Oh, even look at what's her face from Harvard that 286 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 5: had to step down to the plagiarism. 287 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 4: I don't know. 288 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 5: It's not lying on the redsume, but you're still lying 289 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 5: about what you did, so it still happens. 290 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 3: I was just looking because I had a text message. 291 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 3: Let me pull it the text messages. Michael, you cannot 292 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 3: completely discount the story about deer hunting. There was a 293 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 3: dead bear in Manhattan. Had you think for just a second, 294 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 3: do you remember the story dragons. 295 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 4: Cuomo thing right? No, it was a Robert F.

Yesterday I was, you know, 323 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: we had I had a scheduled dinner last night with 324 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: a friend of mine who lives way up north, so 325 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 3: we were going to meet. 326 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 4: We met. Oh, Dragon, you love this. We went to Bastions, the. 327 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 3: Steakhouse over in Colfax, Like Colfax and Madison, that area. 328 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 3: You remember how the Sixteenth Street mall was a complete 329 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,879 Speaker 3: disaster for businesses because it took so long. It was 330 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 3: just a complete construction. Yeah, fiasco. You should see Colfax 331 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 3: right now. 332 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 5: Oh it's just as bad. 333 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: Oh, it's horrible, worse even I think it's probably worse 334 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 3: because some of the cross streets you can actually make 335 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: a turn on. Some of the cross streets you can't 336 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: make turns on. And when I made the reservation at 337 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 3: the steakhouse, there was a pop up window. They gave 338 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 3: very specific constructions about how to approach the restaurant to 339 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 3: get into the parking lot. 340 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 4: That's sad. It's beautiful, but sad. 341 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 3: I got there a little early, so I kind of 342 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 3: walked around the block up and down just to kind 343 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 3: of look at Cole facts. It's a freaking disaster. I 344 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 3: feel sorry for all those businesses and why they do 345 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 3: Why we do construction work the way we do construction 346 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 3: work in Colorado, I'll never understand, and I still don't understand. 347 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 3: I think I've may have had some engineers which tells 348 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 3: me that they really didn't explain it. Engineers try to 349 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 3: explain to me why we don't do work at night. 350 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 3: Like most states, you'll see them working on highways with 351 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: the gigantic flood lights and they're working twenty four hours 352 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: a day, seven days a week. But in Colorado we 353 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 3: never do that. We could do that along coal facts, 354 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 3: and in fact, that might help reduce crime along coal facts. 355 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: If we had gigantic you know, flood lights all up 356 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: and down, working twenty four hours, seven days a week, 357 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 3: it might reduce the crime, might push them out somewhere else. 358 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say, to eliminate the crime, and we'll just 359 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 3: push them somewhere else. Back to shutting down the government, 360 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 3: you got to be successful when you shut down the government. 361 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 3: You got to put two things together, in events, a 362 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 3: valid fact based reason for shutting it down in the 363 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: first place, and then a fully developed plan for getting 364 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 3: out of it. At the end of the day, we 365 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 3: plan to get into it, a reason to get into it, 366 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 3: and then a plan to get out of it. Now, 367 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: as we now found out the really hard way, Chuckie 368 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 3: Schumer had neither item in hand when he single handedly 369 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 3: chose to shut it down at midnight on this past Tuesday. Hell, 370 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: the demanded Democrats didn't even possess an approof set of 371 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: joint talking points that they had done in conjunction with 372 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 3: their toadies in the media so they could go out 373 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: and recite them like a bunch of brain dead ottomans 374 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 3: that they truly are. 375 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 4: Instead, they've been all over the place. 376 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 3: Not even Schumer's been able to lay out a single 377 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 3: valid reason for doing what he's done. So we've got 378 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 3: this paray to effectless Democrat senators like Jeanie Shaheehan and 379 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 3: Corey Booker just flayy on live TV as the CNN 380 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 3: and the MSNB host NSNBC hosts and the hostess sues 381 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 3: who so desperately want to provide them cover sit there 382 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 3: as confused as the viewers are about what the hell 383 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 3: are the Democrats even trying to accomplish here. I mentioned 384 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 3: Janine Shaheen because that SoundBite we played yesterday is still 385 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 3: so freaking hilarious. I've never heard any Democrat talked about 386 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,959 Speaker 3: how they want to provide healthcare to illegal aliens. Well, 387 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 3: and the host on Fox and Friends says, I'm glad, 388 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 3: I'm glad you said that. Let's roll the tape, and 389 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 3: I played the tape for you yesterday where at that 390 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 3: presidential debate in twenty twenty, there's like ten or fifteen, 391 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 3: twenty of them on the stand and the question is 392 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 3: how many of you, for each every one of you 393 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 3: who have a healthcare plan, would provide healthcare to illegal aliens? 394 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 3: And they all throw their hand up, including old Sleepy Joe, 395 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 3: and they go straight to Pete Buddhajig and say, Pete, 396 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 3: explain to us why you want to do this all 397 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:08,239 Speaker 3: because I'm compassionate, I care about people. And then the 398 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 3: best part was Shaheen comes back and says, well, I 399 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 3: never said I said it. Why you just said you've 400 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 3: never heard any Democrat say it? And he just showed 401 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 3: you ten or twenty democrats that said it. So the 402 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 3: day long episode of Messaging Chaos that I listened to 403 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: yesterday doing show prep led directly to MSNBC having an 404 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 3: appearance by that snoody, dim wooded Rhode Island Senator Sheldon 405 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 3: white House, who is only largely more intelligent than the 406 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 3: near total dumb ass Hawaiian Senator Maysie Herono, and he 407 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 3: had this to say with Oh, what's this kid's Chris Hayes. 408 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 6: The conversation on the Senate floor is, well, let's negotiate 409 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 6: on that, because we know we need to move on that, 410 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 6: because our people are going to get hurt on that. 411 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 4: But we'd rather. 412 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 6: Negotiate with you after you've given away your leverage. So 413 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 6: this whole shutdown, this whole trunk Republican shutdown, is really 414 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 6: boiling down to them wanting to solve the problem that 415 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 6: we want to solve, but do it in a couple 416 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 6: of days or a couple of weeks when we've given 417 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 6: up our negotiating leverage. I don't think that's the kind 418 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 6: of position that you can long stand on. 419 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 4: I'm just giving you time to think that through. Don't 420 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 4: get hung up on the word levreach Grogan. 421 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 3: Do you have any leverage in your life? Do you 422 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 3: have any leveraging or do you have any leverage? 423 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 6: Oh? 424 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 5: Tons of leverage? 425 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 4: Did I see your leverage, Can I see it? Sometimes? 426 00:25:53,359 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 3: Your collection of leaverage for Democrats as a party, that 427 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 3: brief How long was that? 428 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 4: That was? Seconds? 429 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 3: That thirty five seconds? I think brilliantly illustrates why Senator 430 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 3: white House manages to always kind of stand out as 431 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 3: probably the very least effective spokesman for their party, which 432 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 3: is saying a lot, since the Democrat Senate Caucus is 433 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 3: not exactly home to a bunch of you know, Einstein's, 434 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 3: I mean, Amy Klobisher is probably the best they have 435 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 3: so far, so the bar really isn't getting much lower anyway. 436 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 3: The first thing to highlight is white House is white 437 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 3: House's use of our people. He uses our people to 438 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 3: describe this sliver of US residents that he and his 439 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: fellow dufus Democrats are actually concerned about in all of this. 440 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 4: Now, I don't. 441 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 3: Know about you, but I am old enough to remember 442 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 3: when members of the United States Senate we're supposed to 443 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 3: care about what's best for all Americans those days, And 444 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 3: in fact I don't remember, but I study history, and 445 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 3: I know when the United States Senate was supposed to 446 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: be concerned mostly about their states, not individuals in their state, 447 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 3: but their state government. Because Remember, we are the United 448 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 3: States of America, like Joe Biden used to say all 449 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 3: the time, and the Senate was supposed to represent the 450 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 3: states at the federal level. But anyway, remember those days 451 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 3: when they either one of those days. Now, yeah, they 452 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 3: didn't mean in the first place, but they less felt 453 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 3: the need to maintain the pretense when they were making 454 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 3: a media appearance. But not anymore. The Damns this meant 455 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 3: the last half century doing everything that they can through 456 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 3: identity politics, to balkanize this country into a disunified array 457 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 3: of competing interest groups and are now proud to only 458 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 3: care about our people and both about it on some 459 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 3: sort of well, some sort of national TV program as 460 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: presented by MSNBC. But it's actually worse than that, because 461 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 3: when you really understand what this humor shutdown is all about, 462 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 3: you know that it's really about Democrats desire to keep 463 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 3: providing free health care benefits to illegal aliens. Remember I 464 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 3: walked through yesterday section by section of the law in 465 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: the one big beautiful bill that eliminated that, And that's 466 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 3: what they're trying to get back to. In other words, 467 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 3: when White House refers to our people, he's really not 468 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 3: talking about a sliver of United States citizens. He's talking 469 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 3: about illegal aliens, those people that his political party is 470 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 3: spant the last twenty years, trying to replace actual Americans 471 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 3: with it is a monstrous bit of momentary honesty from 472 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 3: that raging buffoon that I just want you to remember 473 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 3: that I don't know anybody else's because it or not. 474 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 4: And leaverage twice. I've never heard. 475 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: Anybody in my entire life pronounce leverage as one who 476 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 3: oftentimes is going one hundred miles an hour and mispronounces 477 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 3: a word. I don't think I've ever used leaverage in 478 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 3: place of leverage. 479 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: Michael, I wish you wouldn't make light of the government 480 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: shut down. 481 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 5: It's very serious. Thousands of people are dying. 482 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 4: I died. 483 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 5: It was horrible. 484 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 3: When you leave a talk back and you tell us 485 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 3: that you've died. We're sad to hear that. Who were 486 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 3: always curious. 487 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 4: About how how details details? We need? 488 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: Details. We know you got thirty seconds. You have to 489 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 3: be succinct, but we went to details because they're so important. 490 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 3: Did you find that audio? 491 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,479 Speaker 5: I found a different one that I'm not satisfied with, 492 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 5: but it was The leaveradge has been used multiple times 493 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 5: in the Pirates of Caribbean franchise. Oh, both Johnny Depp 494 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 5: Jack Sparrow and Orlando Broom's character. 495 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 4: They're just screaming out leverage, and they mean leverage. 496 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 5: It was one of the times that the Jack was 497 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 5: trapped in one of the cells and the Will Turner, 498 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 5: the Orlando Bloom characters is like, Yeah, with the proper 499 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 5: amount of leverage, we can get you out of this cell. 500 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 4: Okay. 501 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 3: So we then to assume that one of two things 502 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 3: could have occurred. Sheldon Whitehouse is just number than a 503 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 3: box of rocks and doesn't know how to pronounce the 504 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 3: word leverage. Or he's a freaking United States senator who 505 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: is so consumed with Pirates of the Caribbean that that's 506 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: embedded in his brain and he thinks that's how you 507 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 3: pronounced leverage. 508 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 5: I mean, Kieren Knightley is pretty hot. M Kieran Knightley 509 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 5: is pretty hot. 510 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 3: Well, I didn't say anything about that. I'm just saying that, 511 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 3: you know, that's well for us senator, but it probably is. 512 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 4: The latter. 513 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 3: He's just enamored and so he can't he can't get 514 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: away from it. There was something called the Riyawd Comedy festival. 515 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 3: It's held in Saudi Arabia. He was held from September 516 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 3: twenty six goes on through October ninth at Boulevard City 517 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 3: in Riyad. Fifty of the world's top comedians, including Dave Chappelle, 518 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 3: Kevin Hart, Bil Burr, Tom Segura, Pete Davidson, and a 519 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 3: lot of others, make the first event of this scope 520 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: in the Kingdom. It's the centerpiece of Saudi Arabia's Vision 521 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 3: twenty thirty, led by Prince MBS Mohammed Ben Salomon, because 522 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 3: he wants to diversify the country's economy beyond oil and 523 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 3: foster a more open cultural environment. That's great Dave Chappelle, 524 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 3: though I think man I like Dave Chappelle, and I 525 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 3: enjoy watching his routines. They're very politically incorrect. Addressing an 526 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 3: audience of six thousand people, I don't know how much 527 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 3: you got paid. I heard that one one second tier 528 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 3: comedian got paid like three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars, 529 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 3: and now I'm sure that's in addition to expenses. Chappelle joked. 530 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 3: Right now, in America, they say that if you talk 531 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 3: about Charlie Kirk, that you'll get canceled. I don't know 532 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 3: if that's true, but I am going to find out. 533 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 3: He then added pointedly, it's easier to talk here than 534 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 3: it is in America. But he didn't stop there. He 535 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 3: mused about his own reputation, saying that when he gets 536 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 3: back home, he fears they're going to do something to 537 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: me so that I can't say what I want to say. 538 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 3: That's a quote from the New York Times. But here's 539 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 3: where it gets controversial. But I'll tell you why it 540 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 3: gets controversial. That I'm obviously out of time, because you 541 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 3: hear the music too,
