1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Hey, we're gonna talk about Elon Musk. Can you imagine 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: if you decided to get rid of government waste, fraud 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: and bloat like every candidate has promised forever, that you'd 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: get attacked. Listen to these crazy democrats here. 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: American people. 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: We are here to fight back. 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: Anytime a person can paid two hundred and fifty million 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: dollars into a campaign and they've be given access for 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: access to the Department of Treasury of the United States 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 2: of America, we are a more. 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 4: I am gonna stand with you in this fight and 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 4: we will win. 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 5: We are we well win. 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: We well win. We will win. We well win. We 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: we will rest. We won't rest id like a New 17 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: York at a nuthouse. I was at a mental institution. 18 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: So anyway, Hey, you know what's with us right now 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: is Eric Eggers, who's a VP of the Government Accountability 20 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: Institute co host of the Drill Down podcast. He does 21 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: it with Peter Schweitzer. Every week they break down the 22 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: expose regulation bureaucracy, and this week they've been covering Doze 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: and a Democratic freak out from their podcast and he's 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: with us right now. Eric Eggers, how are you, Mark? 25 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 4: I am great. I mean I'm as great as anybody 26 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 4: could be, considering we are suffering under a historically unprecedented 27 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 4: constitutional crisis. You heard Elizabeth Warren, you heard Chuck Schumritz. 28 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 4: Obviously you know, democracy was on the ballot and we've 29 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 4: clearly lost. And can you imagine, Mark, a world in 30 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 4: which someone that's not elected has so much power. Oh wait, 31 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 4: that's exactly what happened for four years under Joe Biden, 32 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 4: because he clearly wasn't in charge, he wasn't cognitively fit. 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 4: They chose just to lie to us. But meanwhile, the 34 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 4: people behind and the curtains ran the country into the ground. 35 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 4: Thank god, Donald trumpet Elon Musk has come to save it. 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 4: And I think that's what you're hearing people react to. 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 4: It's like we talked about this on the podcast. You know, 38 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 4: when you have surgery, your body is reacting in a 39 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 4: certain way, but it's reacting in a healthy way because 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 4: the things that were unhealthy are being removed from the body. 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 4: That's what's happening to this country right now. The unhealthy spending, 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 4: the insane priorities, the Democrats have foisted upon the American 43 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 4: people against their will for so long, are being eradicated 44 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 4: and eliminated. And that's why you see the left freaking out. 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: Like this, well in their defense, and it's not just 46 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: a digress of the Republicans too, all these swamp guys 47 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: and the women in the Congress, this is kind of 48 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: what they do for a living, hand out massive contracts 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: to donors, special interests, and in exchange they get massive 50 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: donations and votes, and so talk about stepping on the 51 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: third rail, about really hitting a nerve. This is going 52 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: to destroy this swamp creature's business model, isn't it. 53 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 4: No, Mark, that's actually an excellent point. It's like that 54 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: seen an office space where like the consultants come in 55 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 4: to say, so, what is it exactly you would say 56 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: you do here? To your point, if the elected leaders 57 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 4: and members of the deep state no longer have our 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 4: tax dollars to hand out, what exactly do they do here? 59 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 4: They don't do a lot, so very much their life, 60 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 4: their livelihoods, their job descriptions are up for grabs, and 61 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 4: I think it's it's fair to ask, like, well, why 62 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 4: do we need all these people? Not just why do 63 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: we need you? How have you been allowed to be 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: in charge to allow things like twenty million dollars for 65 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 4: Stephane Street in Iraq, two million dollars for VR program 66 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 4: for the military to train our soldiers, how to have 67 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: hard conversations about DEI all the LGBT and trans stuff 68 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 4: that we're finding out that we're spending all. 69 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 5: Across the globe. 70 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 4: Why have we allowed the people who are supposed to 71 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 4: up uphold the American priorities and principles and in fiduciary 72 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 4: responsibility for our tax dollars to get away with this stuff. 73 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 4: It's absolutely abhorrent. 74 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: You know at the swamp. So I guess through the years, 75 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 1: the presidents that come in the bushes, the Clinton's, I guess, 76 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: I mean, they must have known all this. What was 77 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: the deal? They just knew, you know, do your thing 78 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: and look the other way on that stuff and don't 79 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: bother that that's part of the deal. Right. 80 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 4: Well, absolutely, I mean, so think about this Mark. You know, 81 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 4: we did a special one time about how wealthy Washington, 82 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 4: d C. Has become. It didn't used to be that way. 83 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 4: In the eighties, Washingt d C. Was kind of this 84 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 4: sleepy backwater town. And then to your point, the Clintons, 85 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: the Bushes, the money came in and took over. And 86 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 4: then it was true for some time that seven out 87 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 4: of the ten wealthiest counties in the country surrounded Washington 88 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 4: d C. It had become like out of Hunger Games, 89 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 4: like the capital that was so out of touch because 90 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 4: they just collected the fruits of the rest of the country. 91 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 4: Washington C led the country in wine consumption per capita 92 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 4: and all kinds of other crazy stats. I had a 93 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: guy who worked at a Ferrari dealers should tell me 94 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 4: that they get in trouble because too many of their 95 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 4: clients pay cash for expensive luxury cars. So Washington C 96 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: has taken all of our money and they use it 97 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 4: when and when you're drunk with money, then things like 98 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 4: the way they've been spending it makes sense. And so yeah, 99 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 4: they bipartisan problem. But the debt has continued to go 100 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: up regardless of who the president has been. Spending has 101 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 4: continued to go up. And yeah, everyone's been in on it, 102 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 4: and I think it actually helps make sense. Mark, And 103 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 4: I know you've talked about this before, but when you 104 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 4: consider the historically unprecedented steps the left hooks to try 105 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 4: to keep Donald Trump from being elected. Everything from the 106 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 4: suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, so then the 107 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 4: way we allowed the election in twenty twenty to happen, 108 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,119 Speaker 4: and then the legal cases the Biden Department of Justice brought, 109 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: and then you know, the assassination attempts, and then when 110 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 4: all that didn't work, then it's like, oh, my gosh, 111 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 4: let's actually go ahead and just take out the most 112 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 4: powerful man in the world, the President. I say it, 113 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 4: let's to make him stop running re election against his 114 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 4: will because we don't think he can beat Trump. They 115 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: threw everything at him that they could. And when you 116 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 4: look at how he's upending the ecosystem of Washington, DC 117 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 4: and how many different people have relied on it, you 118 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 4: understand why. 119 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: Hey, Eric Egers, tell us about Elon Musk, this team 120 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: that he has. You know, you hear this guy's nineteen, 121 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: this guy's twenty. Who exactly is on this team that 122 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: he's using. 123 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: Well, we're finding out more about it. And I think 124 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 4: while you hear the left claim that oh, this is 125 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 4: all done without transparency, I think the ops is actually true, right. 126 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 4: I mean, you have they have a website, so we 127 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 4: see all the contracts they're looking at it. But he's 128 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 4: got these nineteen year old of course, there's a kid 129 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 4: named Big Bonell who has you know, a bit of 130 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 4: a checker at history. But these are very intelligent data whizzes, 131 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 4: computer science experts who know how to analyze high volumes 132 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 4: of data and be able to figure out where the 133 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 4: spending is. I mean, I guess, Mark, here's the question, 134 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 4: like it's fair to ask, okay, is do you want 135 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 4: nineteen and twenty year old to have unfettered access to 136 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 4: the stuff. But it's not like the nineteen and twenty 137 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: year olds are the ones making the decisions. I think 138 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 4: they're highlighting the problems, and then it's the actual agency heads. 139 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 4: It's the cabinet head of the people who are in 140 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 4: charge of these agencies. They're the ones making decisions Okay, 141 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 4: we want to cut this, we want to don't cut that. 142 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: So it's not like these elon musk castports have unilateral 143 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 4: authority to do that. They're highlighting the things, they're making 144 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 4: the recommendations, and then the wheels of government are actually 145 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 4: working as they should. You heard Tete Hegg said say, listen, 146 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 4: we welcome the scrutiny of doge. Okay, we don't think 147 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 4: it's going to impact our actual ability to war fight, 148 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: but we think it will impact things like the climate 149 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: change initiative. Actually, when he said that, Mark I looked 150 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 4: it up in twenty twenty two, there's a climate change 151 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: initiative for the Department of Defense. In twenty twenty two, 152 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 4: their budget was like six hundred something million. Last year 153 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 4: was over two billion dollars, I think. And it's stupid, 154 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: but that's where our tax dollars has been going and 155 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 4: everyone's just sort of okay with it. And thank goodness, 156 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 4: we've got these young with cases to help highlight those problems. 157 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: So when they say that, oh, but Elon Musk has 158 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: access to our data, social security and them, what is 159 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: the big fear that the guy with four hundred billion 160 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: is going to do identity theft? What's the problem. 161 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 4: Is it gonna fish us like some Nigerian print. Yeah, 162 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 4: I mean anybody with a Gmail account has already given 163 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 4: up their access to their private data. So yeah, it's 164 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: ludicrous and I think it just speaks too. I mean 165 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 4: I actually heard yesterday Jen Saki. She went on John 166 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 4: Stewart's podcast, and this is how out of touch those 167 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: people are. They talked about Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn 168 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 4: as being part of this immedia ecosystem and this echo 169 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 4: Champer and Johnson was like, those are just comedians. Just 170 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 4: because they happened to talk to Donald Trump doesn't make 171 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 4: them part of the right wing ecosystem. But that's just 172 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 4: anything Trump connected the left loses their mind over. And 173 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 4: I thought that was just a great example of why. 174 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Musk was originally talking about saving a trillion 175 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: dollars at the end of this what do you think 176 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: maybe even more? And if he does, doesn't that mean 177 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: we could cut federal taxes almost in half. 178 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 4: No, absolutely, Why would we be against cutting wasteful spending? 179 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 4: I mean, you hear this phrase waste, fraud and abuse. 180 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 4: You know, I did a book about voter fraud and 181 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 4: it came out in twenty eighteen. But one of the 182 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 4: things we talked about is how many fraudulent voter registrations 183 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 4: there exist. And that's like, not in dispute, you know, 184 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 4: it's the Supreme Court Stata statistics and said one out 185 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 4: of eight and voter registration airror, you know, pales in 186 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 4: comparison things like social security fraud and welfare fraud and 187 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 4: abuse and you heard actually people testify about that this 188 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 4: week in Washington, DC as the first ever those hearings. 189 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 4: So I don't know who could or should be against 190 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 4: wasteful spending on money that should go to the needy 191 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 4: and the senior citizens and the people that need the most. 192 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: It. 193 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 4: All waste, fraud and abuse does is in peril our 194 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 4: ability to actually take care of our social contracts for 195 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 4: people that should be unwelfare as people that need social Security. 196 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 4: And it's a classic example of Donald Trump's genius. He 197 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 4: takes these eighty twenty issues. Eighty percent of the country said, yeah, 198 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 4: we should only spend money on people that should get it. 199 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 4: And these people are like, look, we're spending lots of money. 200 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 4: People are taking COVID night they shouldn't get it, people 201 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 4: are taking welfare and when they shouldn't get it. And 202 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 4: the left freaks out about that too, and that's why 203 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 4: they have no credibility, and that's why they're losing the arguments. 204 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 4: And that's what the American people are on the side 205 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 4: of Donald Trump. 206 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: Well, Eric here is great talking to you.

And whoever was running the Biden White House, 341 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: hopefully one day we'll find out you look back on 342 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: how dumb they were about everything. You know, it turns 343 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: out now we found out today that President Trump has 344 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: the mug shot framed and it's up in the White House. 345 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: Right outside the Oval Office. As you walk into the 346 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: Oval Office, the blue hallway where you come in, in 347 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: a big gold frame, there's the mug shot and that's 348 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: the entrance the press uses, all the press have to 349 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: come in and see the mug shot. But he's so 350 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: proud of that thing. And if you go back and 351 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: study this carefully, that was the turning point. You know, 352 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: there was a period there would look like Ron DeSantis 353 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: will be the nominee of the name Nikki Haleey will 354 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: be the nominee. It was the mugshot that just turned 355 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: it around. That's where he started to really climbing the polls. 356 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: The mug shot did the trick. What were you people 357 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: thinking with that law fair with the mug shot And 358 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: even last night MSNBC they claimed without evidence that Biden 359 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: wasn't behind it. Without evidence, Biden's top guy in the 360 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,959 Speaker 1: Justice Department left the Justice Farm to come run the 361 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: case in New York. He personally, he did the opening argument. 362 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: He questioned the witnesses that disgusting. Georgia Bunch. What's the 363 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: guy's name, Fannie Willis? 364 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 7: Is Willis up? 365 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: The guy? He was in the White House. Nathan Wade 366 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: put down two eight hour meetings in the White House. 367 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: That's not evidence that you. 368 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 7: Can't recall, though, Mark, you can't recall did you. 369 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: Go to a cabin with miss Willis? 370 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 7: Ever? 371 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 8: Ever? 372 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 1: Ever? 373 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 7: Some of our best word of. 374 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 3: A soul. 375 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: I got you no, never, no. 376 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 7: But it's almost a whole chorus. It took him to 377 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 7: say no, just for the listeners. 378 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: Of course, there's four hundred pictures of them in the cabin. 379 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: It's on Instagram. They're in the cabin, They're all over 380 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: the cabin.

Actually, I think it just reopened on Broadway. 412 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: But it was about an old, old year old old 413 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: movie star who'd been like from the Silent movie days 414 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: and plotting this comeback that looked absolutely ridiculous. Bill Clinton, 415 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, this guy was the greatest, slickest politician orator. 416 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:45,639 Speaker 1: President Hillary never made it. First time she runs. First 417 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: time she runs, a total beginner novice. Barack Obama comes 418 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: out of nowhere and takes the nomination from her. Second 419 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: time she runs, a total amateur, has never been in politics, 420 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: beats her. It's great.

Yeah I'm not here, no since id right 446 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 8: next to Camp Penalty where we get that uh thunder 447 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 8: of freedom from the base. 448 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: But uh, well that's good because. 449 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 8: Well, you know, when they're doing that big artillery firing, 450 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 8: it's up over there, the windows shaking, the booms go 451 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 8: really oh yeah, everybody around here here is that. You know, 452 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 8: they got the big artillery. You know, when they're doing 453 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 8: maneuvers and the practice and everything, it really gets the 454 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 8: windows shaken, and especially when they're doing late night stuff. 455 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: Okay, what do you want to say? 456 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 8: Greg? Yeah? I was calling up because earlier callers said 457 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 8: that these people that if they found that, if you 458 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 8: followed the government, you know, got kicked backs and stuff. Yeah, 459 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 8: they should actually go for those people and put them 460 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 8: in jail. And I think the same thing because you know, 461 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 8: someday the Democrats will be back in power and if 462 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 8: they don't see any repercussions from having you know, people 463 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 8: throwing over the stuff to go right back to their 464 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 8: own plane. 465 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a very good point. That's a good point. Yeah, 466 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: if they took kickback to anything like, of course they 467 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: should be prosecuted, be in jail. But a lot of them, 468 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 1: you gotta remember, this is what they do for a living. 469 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: Congressmen and women. It's a lot of Democrats, it's a 470 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: lot of Republicans too. You know. What they do is 471 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: they give out these contracts. They know they're overpaying. You know, 472 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: for instance, it costs forty thousand a mile to pave 473 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: a highway. We spend a million a mile. They do 474 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: this all the time. You know, you hear the Pentagon 475 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: bought a screwdriver for one thousand dollars. They know it's 476 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: that way, but they deliberately overpay. Everybody give out these contracts. 477 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: In exchange they're getting massive donations for their campaign, they're 478 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: getting votes, they're getting all kinds of stuff. You know, 479 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, when he first became president, first term, just 480 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: as he's coming in, it turns out air Force one 481 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: is getting a new Air Force one. They're making the plane, 482 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: and they send them the bill and it's like seven billion, 483 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: which is uh, overcharging like crazy. But that's what you 484 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 1: do every time, and nobody says a word. Well, think 485 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: about this. They didn't realize for the first time in history, 486 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: the guy that just got elected has bought fifteen planes 487 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: in his lifetime. He knows exactly what they cost. The 488 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,119 Speaker 1: guy owned an airline once, an actual airline that's Trump Shuttle. 489 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: He knows exactly what planes costs. He starts looking through 490 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: the itemized bill, calls up the chairman of Boeing and 491 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: said seven billion.
