4
00:00:24,217 --> 00:00:27,217
Speaker 1: the man who nailed COVID. I still think you should

5
00:00:27,217 --> 00:00:28,977
Speaker 1: get even more credit for that than you do Alex,

6
00:00:29,017 --> 00:00:31,537
Speaker 1: for whatever that's worth, because I remember because there was

7
00:00:31,577 --> 00:00:33,337
Speaker 1: like Alex, and then there was a little crew of

8
00:00:33,417 --> 00:00:36,377
Speaker 1: us who were trying to bring more attention to your work.

9
00:00:36,417 --> 00:00:38,737
Speaker 1: Tucker was one of them, but I was certainly there too,

10
00:00:39,337 --> 00:00:41,657
Speaker 1: and I have not forgotten the COVID stuff. We're not

11
00:00:41,697 --> 00:00:44,857
Speaker 1: going to talk COVID today really, well maybe tangentially, but

12
00:00:45,617 --> 00:00:47,417
Speaker 1: we're going to dive into some other stuff with Alex Barns.

Speaker 1: And Alex, you know one thing, like I just wanted

22
00:01:18,577 --> 00:01:22,817
Speaker 1: your your biggest reflection on the year right now. And

23
00:01:22,817 --> 00:01:25,817
Speaker 1: and the thing that for you defines the year is what.

24
00:01:27,257 --> 00:01:29,257
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I hate to, you know, say what

25
00:01:29,297 --> 00:01:31,697
Speaker 2: everybody else is gonna say, but obviously it's the victory

26
00:01:31,737 --> 00:01:35,017
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump, right, and and the and a victory

27
00:01:35,257 --> 00:01:39,617
Speaker 2: over you know, a populist revolt, a true populist revolt.

28
00:01:39,657 --> 00:01:44,377
Speaker 2: And you know, I he beat the media, he beat academia,

29
00:01:44,777 --> 00:01:49,017
Speaker 2: he beat Hollywood, he beat most of corporate America. Uh,

30
00:01:49,057 --> 00:01:54,337
Speaker 2: he beats sort of the philanthropy blob, he beat he

31
00:01:54,457 --> 00:01:57,417
Speaker 2: beat you know, people who donated an extra billion dollars

32
00:01:57,457 --> 00:02:02,177
Speaker 2: to the other side. He beat two assassination attempts. And

33
00:02:02,217 --> 00:02:04,097
Speaker 2: he's the he's going to be the president for the

34
00:02:04,097 --> 00:02:05,017
Speaker 2: next four years.

35
00:02:05,097 --> 00:02:07,857
Speaker 3: And uh uh, you know, I'm I'm hopeful.

36
00:02:08,017 --> 00:02:10,537
Speaker 2: I said it, you know, three days before the election,

37
00:02:10,617 --> 00:02:11,977
Speaker 2: that I was going to vote for him. I said

38
00:02:11,977 --> 00:02:15,817
Speaker 2: it publicly, And I just I really hope that we

39
00:02:15,937 --> 00:02:19,697
Speaker 2: get sort of the Donald Trump who's the disruptor in

40
00:02:19,737 --> 00:02:22,977
Speaker 2: the in the in the way that America needs, and

41
00:02:23,017 --> 00:02:25,217
Speaker 2: not the guy who you know, the Democrats said he

42
00:02:25,297 --> 00:02:25,857
Speaker 2: was going to be.

43
00:02:25,857 --> 00:02:28,177
Speaker 1: And we'll get to that. We'll get there because I

44
00:02:28,177 --> 00:02:29,817
Speaker 1: want to get to the law fair discussion, but I

45
00:02:29,897 --> 00:02:32,017
Speaker 1: just first because we'll talk about it.

46
00:02:32,057 --> 00:02:36,897
Speaker 2: But clearly his victory is an epic moment.

47
00:02:37,377 --> 00:02:40,937
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there's very little about Trump that I

48
00:02:40,937 --> 00:02:43,497
Speaker 1: would say has surprised me. I met him in person

49
00:02:43,657 --> 00:02:45,657
Speaker 1: the first time when I was thirteen years old, Alex,

50
00:02:46,217 --> 00:02:48,337
Speaker 1: So there's very little about Yeah. In New York, I

51
00:02:48,377 --> 00:02:50,257
Speaker 1: knew his kids a little bit, not super well, but

52
00:02:50,297 --> 00:02:51,857
Speaker 1: we you know, one of them I used to hang

53
00:02:51,857 --> 00:02:54,257
Speaker 1: out with sometimes. We were in like high school age,

54
00:02:55,657 --> 00:02:58,337
Speaker 1: and so I met him there once. But nothing about

55
00:02:58,337 --> 00:03:03,097
Speaker 1: Trump has ever blown my mind quite the way, certainly

56
00:03:03,177 --> 00:03:05,097
Speaker 1: after he after twenty six I'll put it this way,

57
00:03:05,137 --> 00:03:08,657
Speaker 1: after twenty sixteen, I feel like I've known Trump. But

58
00:03:08,937 --> 00:03:12,817
Speaker 1: when when he stood up and was shouting fight after

59
00:03:12,857 --> 00:03:15,497
Speaker 1: he took a five to five to six round to

60
00:03:15,657 --> 00:03:17,457
Speaker 1: the ear. Maybe it was a two two three for

61
00:03:17,497 --> 00:03:19,217
Speaker 1: the gun people, but you know, after he took a

62
00:03:19,657 --> 00:03:22,577
Speaker 1: rifle round to the ear and was bleeding all over

63
00:03:22,577 --> 00:03:26,217
Speaker 1: the place, that is that was honestly the most badass

64
00:03:26,257 --> 00:03:28,577
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen in politics. I don't think I

65
00:03:28,577 --> 00:03:30,497
Speaker 1: would have done that. I'm I was amazed.

66
00:03:31,777 --> 00:03:35,377
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I mean, what else is there to say about, right,

67
00:03:35,457 --> 00:03:37,377
Speaker 2: And and uh, you know.

68
00:03:38,057 --> 00:03:40,777
Speaker 3: He he didn't. He didn't panic.

69
00:03:40,977 --> 00:03:44,017
Speaker 2: I think most even you know, even maybe anybody who's

70
00:03:44,057 --> 00:03:46,937
Speaker 2: not trained special forces would have a moment of panic

71
00:03:46,977 --> 00:03:47,497
Speaker 2: at that moment.

72
00:03:47,537 --> 00:03:48,297
Speaker 3: He didn't have it.

73
00:03:48,457 --> 00:03:52,137
Speaker 2: And uh, look what the Democrats and you know, I

74
00:03:52,137 --> 00:03:53,737
Speaker 2: know we'll talk law of it, but what the Democrats

75
00:03:53,817 --> 00:03:55,977
Speaker 2: tried to do to him, particularly in New York State

76
00:03:57,137 --> 00:04:01,057
Speaker 2: this spring, you know, last year, this spring, this summer,

77
00:04:01,377 --> 00:04:06,177
Speaker 2: it was disgusting. It clearly backfired on them. And I

78
00:04:06,297 --> 00:04:08,857
Speaker 2: just hope that he knows that victory, you know, is

79
00:04:08,897 --> 00:04:12,017
Speaker 2: the revenge that he that he needed and that he got.

80
00:04:12,097 --> 00:04:12,977
Speaker 3: And I guess we'll see.

81
00:04:13,297 --> 00:04:16,097

Speaker 2: Uh.

104
00:05:22,817 --> 00:05:27,657
Speaker 1: Let's start with this because you're involved in a lawsuit,

105
00:05:27,737 --> 00:05:31,217
Speaker 1: not law fair, but a lawsuit against the Biden administration.

106
00:05:31,777 --> 00:05:34,297
Speaker 1: Bring everybody up to speed. Just give us the sort

107
00:05:34,337 --> 00:05:36,617
Speaker 1: of thirty second overview of what it is to what

108
00:05:36,657 --> 00:05:38,777
Speaker 1: you're suing Biden over and then you can start to

109
00:05:38,777 --> 00:05:40,377
Speaker 1: tell us where this stands right now?

110
00:05:41,617 --> 00:05:47,337
Speaker 2: Sure, so I'm suing the president really is not personally,

111
00:05:47,457 --> 00:05:49,857
Speaker 2: so it's what's called in his ministerial capacity. But what

112
00:05:49,897 --> 00:05:52,377
Speaker 2: I'm really assuing is a couple of guys who worked

113
00:05:52,417 --> 00:05:53,777
Speaker 2: for him.

114
00:05:53,897 --> 00:05:55,337
Speaker 3: One named Andy Slavitt.

115
00:05:55,537 --> 00:05:59,417
Speaker 1: Oh I remember Andy Covid Slavit sure, Oh.

116
00:05:59,297 --> 00:06:01,217
Speaker 3: God, yeah? Was he ever a panicker?

117
00:06:01,257 --> 00:06:03,537
Speaker 2: And then a guy named Rob Flaherty was part of this,

118
00:06:03,617 --> 00:06:06,577
Speaker 2: who was the deputy campaign manager of first the Biden

119
00:06:06,617 --> 00:06:10,057
Speaker 2: ad Ministry of biden reelection campaign, then Kamala Harris's camp,

120
00:06:11,457 --> 00:06:15,657
Speaker 2: who was the director of digital strategy for the White House. Anyway,

121
00:06:15,737 --> 00:06:21,417
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one, a Slavitt in particular led a

122
00:06:21,457 --> 00:06:25,537
Speaker 2: conspiracy to try and ultimately succeed in getting me banned

123
00:06:25,537 --> 00:06:29,737
Speaker 2: from Twitter, and so I became aware of you know

124
00:06:30,017 --> 00:06:33,737
Speaker 2: my band when I was banned in August twenty twenty one.

125
00:06:33,857 --> 00:06:36,577
Speaker 2: I then sued Twitter to get back on a lawsuit

126
00:06:36,617 --> 00:06:40,057
Speaker 2: that everybody said was just going to be a complete failure,

127
00:06:40,137 --> 00:06:44,297
Speaker 2: and in fact it was not. In April twenty twenty two,

128
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:46,857
Speaker 2: a federal judge said I had grounds to go forward

129
00:06:46,857 --> 00:06:50,217
Speaker 2: with that lawsuit. Twitter then settled with me before Elon

130
00:06:50,337 --> 00:06:54,457
Speaker 2: Musk took over. So this is pre Musk and put

131
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:57,017
Speaker 2: me back on, said they shouldn't have kicked me off.

132
00:06:57,097 --> 00:06:59,137
Speaker 2: I was kicked off because of comments I'd made about

133
00:06:59,137 --> 00:07:00,217
Speaker 2: COVID and the vaccine.

134
00:07:00,257 --> 00:07:03,257
Speaker 1: Specifically, Wait can I ask, because I was just I

135
00:07:04,057 --> 00:07:06,497
Speaker 1: think it's important. What was it that you said that

136
00:07:06,497 --> 00:07:09,937
Speaker 1: that got them? So what triggered the band? If you will?

137
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:13,617
Speaker 2: The famous fifth strike actually could not be worse for

138
00:07:13,657 --> 00:07:17,257
Speaker 2: the defense. Famous is the wrong word, but the infant

139
00:07:17,297 --> 00:07:21,937
Speaker 2: strike because COVID infamous. The COVID had this COVID Twitter

140
00:07:21,937 --> 00:07:25,657
Speaker 2: had this complicated policy of how they were going to

141
00:07:27,217 --> 00:07:31,937
Speaker 2: allow people to talk about the mRNA's in twenty twenty one,

142
00:07:32,577 --> 00:07:35,177
Speaker 2: and I was, you know, sort of on the forefront

143
00:07:35,177 --> 00:07:39,017
Speaker 2: of raising questions about them, and for quite for most

144
00:07:39,057 --> 00:07:42,297
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty one, they basically let me talk. And

145
00:07:42,337 --> 00:07:45,177
Speaker 2: then in the summer, as the White House really ramped

146
00:07:45,217 --> 00:07:49,057
Speaker 2: up the pressure publicly against the social media companies, they

147
00:07:49,097 --> 00:07:53,137
Speaker 2: started to issue strikes. The fifth strike was for a

148
00:07:53,177 --> 00:07:56,137
Speaker 2: tweet that said, and I want to get it exactly

149
00:07:56,177 --> 00:07:59,857
Speaker 2: where I may not, but it doesn't stop infection or transmission.

150
00:08:00,377 --> 00:08:02,817
Speaker 2: Don't think of it as a vaccine. Think of it

151
00:08:02,857 --> 00:08:09,097
Speaker 2: as a therapeutic, meaning like a drug that has severe

152
00:08:09,177 --> 00:08:13,817
Speaker 2: side effects and must be taken in advance of illness,

153
00:08:13,977 --> 00:08:16,417
Speaker 2: and we want to mandate it insanity.

154
00:08:17,057 --> 00:08:18,177
Speaker 3: That was the whole tweet.

155
00:08:18,617 --> 00:08:20,977
Speaker 2: I think at this point everybody agrees that the first

156
00:08:20,977 --> 00:08:24,097
Speaker 2: part is true. The vaccines didn't stop infection or transmission,

157
00:08:24,417 --> 00:08:25,817
Speaker 2: and I think most people have come.

158
00:08:25,737 --> 00:08:28,857
Speaker 3: Around to the idea that mandates were a big mistake.

159
00:08:29,417 --> 00:08:32,097
Speaker 3: So that was the whole tweet. But Twitter did in

160
00:08:32,137 --> 00:08:33,337
Speaker 3: fact ban me for that tweet.

161
00:08:33,377 --> 00:08:37,857
Speaker 2: And what I learned from Twitter in twenty twenty two

162
00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:41,097
Speaker 2: after they handed over documents to me, was that Andy

163
00:08:41,137 --> 00:08:44,457
Speaker 2: Slavitt had been involved, that the White House had been involved,

164
00:08:44,497 --> 00:08:46,257
Speaker 2: and then and to me. In some ways, this is

165
00:08:46,297 --> 00:08:48,657
Speaker 2: the most stunning part of all this, although the media,

166
00:08:48,897 --> 00:08:50,817
Speaker 2: you know, outside of a few people like you, refuse

167
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:51,577
Speaker 2: to report on it.

168
00:08:53,777 --> 00:08:55,217
Speaker 3: A guy named Scott Gottlieb.

169
00:08:55,577 --> 00:08:59,337
Speaker 2: Scott Gottlieb was the head of the FDA under Trump.

170
00:08:59,377 --> 00:09:01,497
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear he's not gonna be that

171
00:09:02,017 --> 00:09:04,217
Speaker 2: going forward. He's gonna have very little to do with

172
00:09:04,257 --> 00:09:07,457
Speaker 2: the trumpet the new Trump administration. But Scott Gottlieb was

173
00:09:07,497 --> 00:09:11,057
Speaker 2: sort of one of these, you know, moderate republs against rhinos.

174
00:09:11,097 --> 00:09:14,097
Speaker 3: Call him what you want. He had been he had

175
00:09:14,177 --> 00:09:15,737
Speaker 3: known Andy Slavitt.

176
00:09:15,737 --> 00:09:17,617
Speaker 2: But the reason he's so interesting and this is so

177
00:09:17,737 --> 00:09:21,097
Speaker 2: interesting is at the time that he forced or encouraged

178
00:09:21,177 --> 00:09:24,377
Speaker 2: Twitter to ban me, and ultimately conspired with Andy to

179
00:09:24,377 --> 00:09:28,897
Speaker 2: get me banned, he was and remains to this day,

180
00:09:29,097 --> 00:09:32,617
Speaker 2: a board member at Pfizer. So, a board member at

181
00:09:32,617 --> 00:09:36,657
Speaker 2: a company that made one hundred billion dollars from selling

182
00:09:36,737 --> 00:09:40,937
Speaker 2: COVID vaccines, interceded with Twitter at a time when I

183
00:09:40,937 --> 00:09:43,417
Speaker 2: would say, you know, maybe I wasn't the most important

184
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:47,457
Speaker 2: voice against mandatory vaccination, but I was certainly a leading

185
00:09:47,537 --> 00:09:52,337
Speaker 2: voice to get me banned. So I am suing Slavitt.

186
00:09:52,577 --> 00:09:55,097
Speaker 2: I am suing technically the president, although again he's not

187
00:09:55,177 --> 00:09:58,577
Speaker 2: really you know, a part of this. I am suing

188
00:09:58,937 --> 00:10:02,977
Speaker 2: Scott Gottlieb. I'm suing doctor Albert Borla, who is the

189
00:10:03,537 --> 00:10:04,937
Speaker 2: chairman Adfiser.

190
00:10:04,537 --> 00:10:07,057
Speaker 1: The guy, he's the guy who sounds kind of like

191
00:10:07,177 --> 00:10:10,457
Speaker 1: this in the Albert Borla, right, yeah.

192
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:12,977
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's Greek. He's Greek. You know.

193
00:10:13,017 --> 00:10:15,697
Speaker 2: I was actually kind of upset and disappointed to see

194
00:10:15,697 --> 00:10:19,177
Speaker 2: that Borla was one of three former CEOs who had

195
00:10:19,777 --> 00:10:22,417
Speaker 2: dinner with Trump, uh, just a couple of days ago

196
00:10:22,417 --> 00:10:24,777
Speaker 2: at mar A Lago. So let's hope that that you

197
00:10:24,817 --> 00:10:27,217
Speaker 2: know that that that that doesn't mean that you know

198
00:10:27,297 --> 00:10:29,257
Speaker 2: that they're in his ear. I guess we'll find out.

199
00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:33,937
Speaker 2: But so my lawsuit says, you guys violated my First

200
00:10:33,977 --> 00:10:36,817
Speaker 2: Amendment rights. The White House did that is you and

201
00:10:36,897 --> 00:10:40,337
Speaker 2: Pfizer together, Are you and the Pfizer defendants together violated?

202
00:10:40,617 --> 00:10:42,737
Speaker 2: And it's a little complicated, but I'll try to, you know,

203
00:10:42,817 --> 00:10:45,137
Speaker 2: make it as sort of straightforward as I can, the

204
00:10:45,217 --> 00:10:49,057
Speaker 2: rights of me as an unvaccinated person and other people

205
00:10:49,057 --> 00:10:52,697
Speaker 2: who were unvaccinated to communicate around the vaccines. So, in

206
00:10:52,737 --> 00:10:55,857
Speaker 2: other words, my complaint is not, hey, you made me

207
00:10:55,897 --> 00:10:58,697
Speaker 2: get vaccinated, because I'm actually not COVID vaccinated.

208
00:10:58,777 --> 00:11:00,177
Speaker 3: No one made me get vaccinated.

209
00:11:00,217 --> 00:11:04,297
Speaker 2: My complaint is I had a First Amendment right as

210
00:11:04,337 --> 00:11:09,217
Speaker 2: an unvaccinated person to communicate my views about the vaccines,

211
00:11:09,297 --> 00:11:13,457
Speaker 2: which were a particular interest to other unvaccinated people, and

212
00:11:13,577 --> 00:11:18,257
Speaker 2: you suppressed that right. And these are actually these are

213
00:11:18,257 --> 00:11:21,617
Speaker 2: actually like pretty big constitutional questions. There's that one question

214
00:11:21,737 --> 00:11:24,097
Speaker 2: is whether or not I have the right to sue

215
00:11:24,097 --> 00:11:26,897
Speaker 2: for money damages for a First Amendment violation, which is

216
00:11:26,897 --> 00:11:30,137
Speaker 2: something the Supreme Court has, you know, they they've they've

217
00:11:30,377 --> 00:11:33,177
Speaker 2: they said different things about this, but they've never said

218
00:11:34,017 --> 00:11:34,697
Speaker 2: you can do it.

219
00:11:35,337 --> 00:11:35,737
Speaker 3: Uh.

220
00:11:35,817 --> 00:11:38,097
Speaker 2: And then and then the other big question is are

221
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:42,337
Speaker 2: unvaccinated people a group who are deserving of some kind

222
00:11:42,337 --> 00:11:46,097
Speaker 2: of legal protection? And and so those are big questions.

223
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:49,297
Speaker 2: And where the lawsuit stands right now is the defense

224
00:11:49,777 --> 00:11:52,217
Speaker 2: and they're you know, there's several different defendants. Andy Slavitt

225
00:11:52,217 --> 00:11:55,097
Speaker 2: has his own defense, uh, the visor defendants, and then

226
00:11:55,137 --> 00:11:58,417
Speaker 2: there's the the government defendants. And they've all said, hey,

227
00:11:58,417 --> 00:12:00,977
Speaker 2: this loss is is junk. You know, we didn't do

228
00:12:01,017 --> 00:12:04,097
Speaker 2: anything wrong. This should be dismissed. It's being heard by

229
00:12:04,177 --> 00:12:08,257
Speaker 2: a judge in New York, and I presume that she'll

230
00:12:08,297 --> 00:12:08,857
Speaker 2: schedule a.

231
00:12:08,817 --> 00:12:10,057
Speaker 3: Hearing on it at some point.

232
00:12:10,377 --> 00:12:13,137
Speaker 2: The tricky part, or one of the many tricker parts

233
00:12:13,137 --> 00:12:16,737
Speaker 2: of this is that, uh, now that now that Donald

234
00:12:16,777 --> 00:12:20,417
Speaker 2: Trump is president, it's possible that the White House or

235
00:12:20,457 --> 00:12:23,577
Speaker 2: the Department of Justice will change his view of the lawsuit.

236
00:12:23,697 --> 00:12:23,817
Speaker 3: Right.

237
00:12:23,857 --> 00:12:26,297
Speaker 2: So, in other words, they might say, hey, we agree

238
00:12:26,297 --> 00:12:30,097
Speaker 2: with Berenson, the unvaccinated should be a protected class, and

239
00:12:30,137 --> 00:12:34,057
Speaker 2: that would obviously like change the lawsuits. So but that

240
00:12:34,097 --> 00:12:36,657
Speaker 2: hasn't happened yet. You know, Trump is not president yet.

241
00:12:36,697 --> 00:12:38,097
Speaker 2: No one has told me are you.

242
00:12:38,097 --> 00:12:41,417
Speaker 1: Are you requesting I ask, because this would be public record.

243
00:12:41,657 --> 00:12:43,577
Speaker 1: Are you questing monetary damages?

244
00:12:44,977 --> 00:12:45,297
Speaker 2: I am?

245
00:12:45,417 --> 00:12:46,537
Speaker 3: I am so I so.

246
00:12:48,097 --> 00:12:51,257
Speaker 2: Yes, you can ask for monetary So you know, there's

247
00:12:51,377 --> 00:12:53,457
Speaker 2: kind of two kinds of relief you can ask for.

248
00:12:53,537 --> 00:12:56,057
Speaker 2: You can ask for injunctive relief, meaning this is going

249
00:12:56,097 --> 00:12:56,817
Speaker 2: on and it has to.

250
00:12:56,777 --> 00:12:59,937
Speaker 1: Stop, stop it, and you you're.

251
00:12:59,857 --> 00:13:02,697
Speaker 2: Gonna You can say, hey, uh, you know, my my

252
00:13:02,857 --> 00:13:06,497
Speaker 2: rights were violated. That should be something that I should

253
00:13:06,537 --> 00:13:09,097
Speaker 2: get compensation for. I actually didn't know this book and

254
00:13:09,137 --> 00:13:10,697
Speaker 2: I and I think most those people who are not

255
00:13:10,897 --> 00:13:14,897
Speaker 2: lawyers do not know this. You cannot sue the federal

256
00:13:14,897 --> 00:13:20,017
Speaker 2: government in most cases and say your constitutional rights are violated.

257
00:13:20,017 --> 00:13:22,057
Speaker 3: And get money damages. It is.

258
00:13:22,937 --> 00:13:25,377
Speaker 2: You can sue for lots of different things, but you

259
00:13:25,417 --> 00:13:28,297
Speaker 2: can't say, for example, my Second Amendment rights are violated

260
00:13:28,337 --> 00:13:31,737
Speaker 2: and get money damages. At this point, the Supreme Court

261
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,177
Speaker 2: has not said you can sue and say my First

262
00:13:34,217 --> 00:13:37,057
Speaker 2: Amendment rights for violated and get money damages. You can

263
00:13:37,137 --> 00:13:40,457
Speaker 2: sue for your Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment, and Eighth Amendment

264
00:13:40,537 --> 00:13:43,537
Speaker 2: rights being violated and in some cases get damages, but

265
00:13:43,857 --> 00:13:45,977
Speaker 2: not the first or others.

266
00:13:46,057 --> 00:13:47,457
Speaker 3: It's kind of it's.

267
00:13:47,777 --> 00:13:50,657
Speaker 2: You would think that, like, hey, this should be something

268
00:13:50,697 --> 00:13:53,337
Speaker 2: where you know what, if my rights are violated, I

269
00:13:53,457 --> 00:13:57,777
Speaker 2: deserve some actual compensation. But the federal government's very wary

270
00:13:57,937 --> 00:13:59,857
Speaker 2: of allowing those kinds of lawsuits.

271
00:13:59,857 --> 00:14:02,777
Speaker 1: Interesting, let's talk about law fair here when we come

272
00:14:02,817 --> 00:14:06,457
Speaker 1: back in just a second. Our sponsor is IFCJ for

273
00:14:06,497 --> 00:14:09,377
Speaker 1: this segment. The Christmas and Honoka season is a time

274
00:14:09,377 --> 00:14:10,977
Speaker 1: of hope and peace so many of us, but for

275
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:13,217
Speaker 1: those in Israel facing the ongoing war, it's a time

276
00:14:13,217 --> 00:14:16,017
Speaker 1: of fear and uncertainty. The hardships are felt by everyone,

277
00:14:16,057 --> 00:14:18,897
Speaker 1: with many people struggling to afford food and basic necessities

278
00:14:19,177 --> 00:14:21,337
Speaker 1: during this holiday season. Many living through the war and

279
00:14:21,377 --> 00:14:23,377
Speaker 1: the Holy Land or grieving the loss of loved ones

280
00:14:23,577 --> 00:14:26,097
Speaker 1: while also enduring isolation and hunger. We must not let

281
00:14:26,097 --> 00:14:28,537
Speaker 1: them feel forgotten by the rest of the world. That's

282
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:31,217
Speaker 1: where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews comes in.

283
00:14:31,497 --> 00:14:33,777
Speaker 1: Your special holiday gift to the Fellowship helps provide a

284
00:14:33,777 --> 00:14:36,737
Speaker 1: honk of food box filled with basic necessities and essentials

285
00:14:36,737 --> 00:14:40,537
Speaker 1: to bring nourishment, warmth, and comfort to those in need.

286
00:14:40,977 --> 00:14:43,577
Speaker 1: Give the gift of hope and answered prayers this holiday season.

Speaker 1: Go to support IFCJ dot org to donate now that

289
00:14:49,937 --> 00:14:56,577
Speaker 1: eight eight IFCJ. So, now let's start with this. It's

290
00:14:56,577 --> 00:14:58,817
Speaker 1: a question I'll pose to you, Alex, what is the

291
00:14:58,857 --> 00:15:01,977
Speaker 1: proper response to the lawfare that they have engaged in

292
00:15:02,017 --> 00:15:06,337
Speaker 1: against Trump? Because I to the degree that anybody's willing

293
00:15:06,337 --> 00:15:08,977
Speaker 1: to believe that anyone who votes for Trump is able

294
00:15:08,977 --> 00:15:11,737
Speaker 1: to sort of separate out the Trumpiness from the thing,

295
00:15:11,977 --> 00:15:18,017
Speaker 1: from the situation, the New York City case is a

296
00:15:18,017 --> 00:15:19,897
Speaker 1: a cluster. I'm trying to think of the right word.

297
00:15:19,897 --> 00:15:24,857
Speaker 1: It is so beyond the pale of reasonable legal action

298
00:15:25,177 --> 00:15:28,737
Speaker 1: for a prosecutor in this case, for the dish attorney

299
00:15:28,737 --> 00:15:32,377
Speaker 1: in New York City. It's such a grotesque abuse. And

300
00:15:32,457 --> 00:15:35,097
Speaker 1: I would argue what they did with the Egen Carol thing,

301
00:15:35,137 --> 00:15:39,097
Speaker 1: they eliminate the statute of limitations, opening this thing up

302
00:15:39,177 --> 00:15:41,737
Speaker 1: so that they can go after him civilly. How do

303
00:15:41,777 --> 00:15:44,737
Speaker 1: you disprove some woman saying you groped her thirty years

304
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:46,457
Speaker 1: ago in a place where you have no proof of

305
00:15:46,537 --> 00:15:49,497
Speaker 1: you know? So, I mean we could start with that, like,

306
00:15:49,537 --> 00:15:51,577
Speaker 1: what they did to him is horrific, and then well,

307
00:15:51,577 --> 00:15:54,097
Speaker 1: what should what should Trump do in response, now that

308
00:15:54,137 --> 00:15:56,937
Speaker 1: he's in a position to do some pretty powerful and

309
00:15:56,977 --> 00:15:57,697
Speaker 1: important stuff.

310
00:15:58,457 --> 00:16:00,577
Speaker 2: Sure well, I mean so yeah, I mean all three

311
00:16:00,617 --> 00:16:02,657
Speaker 2: of the kids are You didn't even mentioned the worst

312
00:16:02,737 --> 00:16:05,737
Speaker 2: one of them all, which was the absurd civil fraud

313
00:16:05,857 --> 00:16:08,177
Speaker 2: case that the New York State Attorney General filed against

314
00:16:08,257 --> 00:16:10,777
Speaker 2: the guy right where you know where loans that he

315
00:16:10,857 --> 00:16:14,617
Speaker 2: repaid in full on time. Somehow he's being fined almost

316
00:16:14,657 --> 00:16:17,377
Speaker 2: a half billion dollars for So I think all three

317
00:16:17,417 --> 00:16:20,377
Speaker 2: cases were terrible and and you know I wrote about

318
00:16:20,377 --> 00:16:21,057
Speaker 2: this in the spring.

319
00:16:21,977 --> 00:16:26,697
Speaker 3: Those were lawfare. Guess what, he doesn't need to get revenge.

320
00:16:26,777 --> 00:16:30,697
Speaker 3: He has the best revenge. He won. He is the

321
00:16:30,697 --> 00:16:33,977
Speaker 3: next president of the United States. He has all the power.

322
00:16:34,497 --> 00:16:39,617
Speaker 2: It is humiliating for everybody on the Democratic side. And

323
00:16:39,617 --> 00:16:41,137
Speaker 2: and by the way, I'm not saying that, you know,

324
00:16:42,337 --> 00:16:46,017
Speaker 2: if they find you know, serious, I.

325
00:16:46,137 --> 00:16:48,457
Speaker 1: Think if someone abused like if someone broke the law

326
00:16:48,497 --> 00:16:51,097
Speaker 1: inside of that say the DOJ let's just say, I mean,

327
00:16:51,097 --> 00:16:53,817
Speaker 1: if they did something that that is that is that

328
00:16:53,897 --> 00:16:55,457
Speaker 1: is criminal, which it is possible. Mean, when I was

329
00:16:55,497 --> 00:16:58,777
Speaker 1: the NYPD, they talked about official misconduct. They're like, don't

330
00:16:58,817 --> 00:17:01,617
Speaker 1: joke around. There is official misconduct that rises to criminal

331
00:17:01,857 --> 00:17:04,657
Speaker 1: in nature. It's not just you know, uh, if someone

332
00:17:04,657 --> 00:17:07,057
Speaker 1: broke the law a doj to go after Trump. I

333
00:17:07,057 --> 00:17:10,017
Speaker 1: don't think we excuse that. I mean, we don't manufacture it,

334
00:17:10,137 --> 00:17:11,177
Speaker 1: but we don't excuse it.

335
00:17:12,217 --> 00:17:15,297
Speaker 2: Right, But you know, so I think you can get

336
00:17:15,337 --> 00:17:17,657
Speaker 2: caught in sort of snake eating its own tail.

337
00:17:17,817 --> 00:17:17,977
Speaker 3: Right.

338
00:17:18,097 --> 00:17:20,777
Speaker 2: So, so the Russia stuff was kind of where all

339
00:17:20,817 --> 00:17:24,057
Speaker 2: this started, right, and that was all bs right, Donald

340
00:17:24,057 --> 00:17:26,137
Speaker 2: Trump was not an agent of the Russian government. He

341
00:17:26,257 --> 00:17:29,657
Speaker 2: wasn't really in communication in any meaningful way. In twenty sixteen,

342
00:17:29,697 --> 00:17:32,337
Speaker 2: we all know that. Okay, they tried to impeach him

343
00:17:32,337 --> 00:17:34,297
Speaker 2: for it. It blew up on them, all.

344
00:17:34,377 --> 00:17:34,577
Speaker 3: Right.

345
00:17:35,177 --> 00:17:41,737
Speaker 2: Then what happens there's an investigation into the investigation, and

346
00:17:41,817 --> 00:17:45,337
Speaker 2: it turns out that doesn't After many years and much

347
00:17:45,497 --> 00:17:48,817
Speaker 2: sort of back and forth, that doesn't really go anywhere either. Right,

348
00:17:49,377 --> 00:17:52,177
Speaker 2: So at some point I think you just gotta you

349
00:17:52,297 --> 00:17:55,457
Speaker 2: just got to put an end to it. And the

350
00:17:54,977 --> 00:17:56,257
Speaker 2: reason the reason.

351
00:17:56,537 --> 00:17:58,977
Speaker 3: I am a little worried about this is, you know, yes,

352
00:17:59,657 --> 00:18:00,937
Speaker 3: on Monday.

353
00:18:02,137 --> 00:18:05,857
Speaker 2: Of this week, Donald Trump sued the des Moines Register

354
00:18:06,417 --> 00:18:10,337
Speaker 2: and this polster in Iowa who released this you know, complete.

355
00:18:10,137 --> 00:18:13,577
Speaker 1: An Seltzer who released the bonkers poll, and I said

356
00:18:13,577 --> 00:18:15,657
Speaker 1: it was bonkers that all my friends who know politics

357
00:18:15,657 --> 00:18:17,497
Speaker 1: said it was bonkers. At the time, it was insane.

358
00:18:17,657 --> 00:18:20,497
Speaker 1: It would be like saying Trump's gonna win California by ten.

359
00:18:21,457 --> 00:18:25,377
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely totally wrong. And because her record was so strong,

360
00:18:25,697 --> 00:18:28,377
Speaker 2: people took it seriously and it actually made a real

361
00:18:28,377 --> 00:18:30,537
Speaker 2: difference in the prediction markets the day it came out,

362
00:18:31,057 --> 00:18:33,737
Speaker 2: and it was just wrong. She was run by seventeen points.

363
00:18:33,937 --> 00:18:36,337
Speaker 2: Why was she wrung by seventeen points? I have no idea.

364
00:18:36,377 --> 00:18:40,137
Speaker 1: Sometimes she retired, so this was kind of like the

365
00:18:40,217 --> 00:18:43,897
Speaker 1: Dan Rather National Guard documents moment, like WHOA, You're done.

366
00:18:44,497 --> 00:18:48,057
Speaker 2: That's that's right, Like that ended her career. I don't

367
00:18:48,057 --> 00:18:51,017
Speaker 2: think Doland Trump needs to sue her for defamation. I

368
00:18:51,697 --> 00:18:54,937
Speaker 2: don't think I and this is a like I'm eating

369
00:18:54,937 --> 00:18:58,377
Speaker 2: my own cookie on this. There's a chance or I

370
00:18:58,537 --> 00:19:03,337
Speaker 2: could have certainly sued Scott Gottlieb for defamation in Barnson v.

371
00:19:03,457 --> 00:19:07,777
Speaker 2: Bi Okay, he said some stuff that you know, I think,

372
00:19:07,977 --> 00:19:10,377
Speaker 2: certainly in this new legal landscape about me.

373
00:19:12,337 --> 00:19:14,617
Speaker 3: Arguably rose to the level of defamation.

374
00:19:14,817 --> 00:19:19,377
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't make defamation a claim in my lawsuit

375
00:19:19,617 --> 00:19:22,817
Speaker 2: because I'm a reporter first and foremost, and I don't

376
00:19:22,937 --> 00:19:26,457
Speaker 2: like really defamation suits. They chill the press. And you

377
00:19:26,457 --> 00:19:29,617
Speaker 2: know this is something in the lawsuit. Actually, we say

378
00:19:29,777 --> 00:19:32,537
Speaker 2: my lawyer, James Lawrence, and I say, over and over again,

379
00:19:33,217 --> 00:19:36,217
Speaker 2: I want robust to be I have no problem with

380
00:19:36,257 --> 00:19:39,297
Speaker 2: Andy Slavitt saying this guy's a jerk. He doesn't want

381
00:19:39,337 --> 00:19:42,497
Speaker 2: you know, he doesn't understand COVID, he doesn't understand the vaccines.

382
00:19:42,577 --> 00:19:44,337
Speaker 3: He doesn't care if your grandma dies.

383
00:19:44,177 --> 00:19:46,777
Speaker 2: He will have it or God leave. Those guys could

384
00:19:46,817 --> 00:19:50,377
Speaker 2: say whatever they wanted about me. What I didn't like

385
00:19:50,577 --> 00:19:53,217
Speaker 2: and what I am suing over is they tried and

386
00:19:53,257 --> 00:19:56,897
Speaker 2: succeeded in cutting off my access to a platform. Okay,

387
00:19:57,177 --> 00:20:00,657
Speaker 2: that's wrong, and I think it's wrong to try to

388
00:20:00,737 --> 00:20:02,937
Speaker 2: go after you know, at this point, Donald Trump's an

389
00:20:02,937 --> 00:20:04,937
Speaker 2: incredibly powerful guy. I mean, he's the most powerful guy

390
00:20:04,977 --> 00:20:07,737
Speaker 2: in the world. For him to start suing the Des

391
00:20:07,737 --> 00:20:10,937
Speaker 2: Moines Register, which is you know, probably like really functioning

392
00:20:10,977 --> 00:20:13,657
Speaker 2: and surviving at this point, and this woman who like

393
00:20:13,817 --> 00:20:17,137
Speaker 2: ended her career in the most humiliating way, what's the point.

394
00:20:17,417 --> 00:20:19,617
Speaker 1: Well, look, I don't think I don't think this suit

395
00:20:19,657 --> 00:20:21,777
Speaker 1: he's done suits in the past that haven't gone haven't

396
00:20:21,817 --> 00:20:23,657
Speaker 1: sort of gone to fruition, or you haven't gone the

397
00:20:23,697 --> 00:20:25,737
Speaker 1: way through. But let me let me ask you a

398
00:20:25,777 --> 00:20:27,417
Speaker 1: little a little bit of the other side of this.

399
00:20:28,217 --> 00:20:30,257
Speaker 1: First of all, as you know, I mean what they

400
00:20:30,457 --> 00:20:33,137
Speaker 1: did to him in the EG and Carol case. So

401
00:20:33,217 --> 00:20:36,377
Speaker 1: he says, I'm not a rapist. Basically this woman is

402
00:20:36,417 --> 00:20:38,577
Speaker 1: making it up, and then he gets sued from she.

403
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:42,057
Speaker 3: And she sues him. That's right. I agree it's wrong.

404
00:20:42,577 --> 00:20:47,217
Speaker 2: Weaponizing defamation lawsuit is wrong, and I think that's true

405
00:20:47,257 --> 00:20:50,417
Speaker 2: of both sides. Okay, and the Democrats, you know, like

406
00:20:50,457 --> 00:20:53,217
Speaker 2: they're gonna complain about this. They brought this on themselves.

407
00:20:53,457 --> 00:20:56,097
Speaker 2: Who did Juliani one? Now that's a slightly harder case,

408
00:20:56,097 --> 00:20:58,817
Speaker 2: okay because Juliani, or somewhat harder, I would say, because

409
00:20:58,817 --> 00:21:01,457
Speaker 2: you know, he picked on these two random women and

410
00:21:01,497 --> 00:21:04,177
Speaker 2: they had real problems. But the idea that he's losing

411
00:21:04,297 --> 00:21:08,057
Speaker 2: everything one hundred and fifty million dollar verdict is crazy.

412
00:21:08,217 --> 00:21:09,777
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, that's a crazy one.

413
00:21:10,217 --> 00:21:12,377
Speaker 1: When when you're giving one hundred and fifty million dollar

414
00:21:12,937 --> 00:21:15,257
Speaker 1: defamation verdicts, like why not make it a trillion? Like

415
00:21:15,297 --> 00:21:17,897
Speaker 1: at that point, it's just the number is just absurd.

416
00:21:18,057 --> 00:21:20,537
Speaker 1: It's you know, you're you're not dealing in reality, So

417
00:21:20,577 --> 00:21:21,817
Speaker 1: why would a court allow that?

418
00:21:23,057 --> 00:21:25,577
Speaker 2: Well, because again it's you know, you can sue in

419
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:29,377
Speaker 2: a favorable jurisdiction. And suddenly the you know, sort of

420
00:21:29,377 --> 00:21:31,137
Speaker 2: the guardrails are off.

421
00:21:30,937 --> 00:21:33,057
Speaker 1: On because because I can just tell you, Alex, some

422
00:21:33,057 --> 00:21:35,177
Speaker 1: of the people listening going to say they appreciate your

423
00:21:35,177 --> 00:21:37,817
Speaker 1: your adherence to principle on this one. But if some

424
00:21:37,857 --> 00:21:41,177
Speaker 1: people don't feel the heat for what they've done up

425
00:21:41,177 --> 00:21:43,657
Speaker 1: to this point, doesn't it then just become a one

426
00:21:43,697 --> 00:21:46,497
Speaker 1: way battle, right? I mean, that's that's where I I about.

427
00:21:46,537 --> 00:21:48,297
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to have all the answers to this,

428
00:21:48,417 --> 00:21:51,297
Speaker 1: but I do feel like just you know, taking shots

429
00:21:51,297 --> 00:21:52,897
Speaker 1: in the face and hoping that it stops.

430
00:21:54,257 --> 00:21:56,177
Speaker 2: Let me give you a non partisan I think this

431
00:21:56,297 --> 00:21:58,617
Speaker 2: is a non partisan example, though it may be view

432
00:21:58,697 --> 00:22:00,977
Speaker 2: to you know, serve as a pro democratic example because

433
00:22:01,017 --> 00:22:04,257
Speaker 2: everything is a partisan he seeds. Okay, when when Trump

434
00:22:04,817 --> 00:22:09,137
Speaker 2: was you know, on trial, the criminal trum talking about

435
00:22:09,417 --> 00:22:12,537
Speaker 2: there were you know, Marshan, the judge issued these things

436
00:22:12,617 --> 00:22:13,977
Speaker 2: essentially preventing him.

437
00:22:13,857 --> 00:22:15,257
Speaker 1: From comic Yeah, the gagloryers.

438
00:22:15,377 --> 00:22:19,617
Speaker 2: Yeah, gagloryers. That's right, And I thought that was problematic. Okay,

439
00:22:19,857 --> 00:22:23,217
Speaker 2: it was. It's essentially suppressing his First Amendment rights. Now

440
00:22:23,257 --> 00:22:27,177
Speaker 2: he's he can't threaten Alvin Bragg, he can't threaten the jury,

441
00:22:27,217 --> 00:22:29,897
Speaker 2: but he should be allowed to make comments. And sometimes

442
00:22:29,937 --> 00:22:32,617
Speaker 2: he you know, he may make intemperate comments. That's life.

443
00:22:32,737 --> 00:22:35,737
Speaker 3: Okay. I didn't think that was right. Let me give

444
00:22:35,777 --> 00:22:39,537
Speaker 3: you right now, Sean Combs. He did he right.

445
00:22:39,657 --> 00:22:42,857
Speaker 2: He's in jail without bail for the sex trafficking chairs

446
00:22:43,097 --> 00:22:46,417
Speaker 2: sex trafficking charges. Okay, you can who about the merits

447
00:22:46,417 --> 00:22:49,017
Speaker 2: of the charges. I think what's been filed right now

448
00:22:49,137 --> 00:22:50,737
Speaker 2: is not very strong. That doesn't mean they don't have

449
00:22:50,737 --> 00:22:52,217
Speaker 2: a lot of evidence that they haven't produced.

450
00:22:52,377 --> 00:22:54,657
Speaker 1: Well, I do think they didn't. They find like illegal gun.

451
00:22:54,657 --> 00:22:56,017
Speaker 1: I mean they've got him on a bunch of stuff

452
00:22:56,057 --> 00:22:59,377
Speaker 1: like they found illegal guns, which if people dismissed that,

453
00:22:59,617 --> 00:23:01,457
Speaker 1: people go to prison for that stuff, Like I know,

454
00:23:01,537 --> 00:23:03,217
Speaker 1: I own a lot of legal guns. If you have

455
00:23:03,417 --> 00:23:05,497
Speaker 1: guns with no serial numbers on them that you filed

456
00:23:05,537 --> 00:23:08,697
Speaker 1: off like stuff like that gets people tend to prison guns.

457
00:23:08,777 --> 00:23:12,697
Speaker 2: The narcotics, him beating up his girlfriend in twenty sixteen

458
00:23:12,737 --> 00:23:13,897
Speaker 2: in a video he did.

459
00:23:13,937 --> 00:23:14,857
Speaker 3: He's a bad guy.

460
00:23:15,017 --> 00:23:17,697
Speaker 2: Okay, you want to send him to jail for that stuff. Okay,

461
00:23:18,017 --> 00:23:21,217
Speaker 2: that's not what he's been you know, indicted for, but

462
00:23:21,417 --> 00:23:26,857
Speaker 2: let's put that aside. He's trying to, you know, make

463
00:23:26,897 --> 00:23:29,537
Speaker 2: a case that he's a good guy, right, he's trying

464
00:23:29,537 --> 00:23:31,697
Speaker 2: to get his kids to talk on his behalf and

465
00:23:31,777 --> 00:23:35,217
Speaker 2: put out Instagram videos and you know, maybe you know

466
00:23:35,377 --> 00:23:38,937
Speaker 2: say like this stuff was consensual. And the prosecution right

467
00:23:38,977 --> 00:23:42,377
Speaker 2: now is basically even though there's been no and paneled jury,

468
00:23:42,777 --> 00:23:44,377
Speaker 2: there's not even you know, there's not even really the

469
00:23:44,417 --> 00:23:49,137
Speaker 2: beginnings of selection or anything like that, they're saying he

470
00:23:49,297 --> 00:23:51,177
Speaker 2: shouldn't be allowed to do any of that stuff.

471
00:23:51,377 --> 00:23:53,977
Speaker 1: He can try and throw something in the mix here

472
00:23:53,977 --> 00:23:55,657
Speaker 1: that I think you know that that this is just

473
00:23:55,737 --> 00:23:58,977
Speaker 1: on a on a higher philosophical level of our judicial system.

474
00:23:59,697 --> 00:24:02,817
Speaker 1: We have learned that judges are effectively part as an

475
00:24:02,817 --> 00:24:05,537
Speaker 1: actor's Unfortunately, people can try to pretend all day long,

476
00:24:05,897 --> 00:24:07,857
Speaker 1: but they should it here to the law. We hope

477
00:24:07,857 --> 00:24:09,817
Speaker 1: they'd hear the law. But then look at what happens

478
00:24:09,817 --> 00:24:12,377
Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court. It's my team, their team, My team,

479
00:24:12,417 --> 00:24:15,897
Speaker 1: their team, Like there's an understanding anybody who's paying attention

480
00:24:15,937 --> 00:24:19,457
Speaker 1: and honest knows this the notion of an unbiased jury

481
00:24:19,497 --> 00:24:25,337
Speaker 1: pool now in an era of instantaneous social media, constant connectivity,

482
00:24:25,377 --> 00:24:29,377
Speaker 1: et cetera, especially when you there's really no such thing, right.

483
00:24:29,417 --> 00:24:30,977
Speaker 1: That used to be like, if you think about the

484
00:24:30,977 --> 00:24:33,417
Speaker 1: old paradigm, it was like, find a few people who

485
00:24:33,457 --> 00:24:36,537
Speaker 1: are average everyday citizens who don't already have an opinion

486
00:24:36,657 --> 00:24:37,817
Speaker 1: on the following.

487
00:24:38,577 --> 00:24:39,857
Speaker 3: It's with someone like p Diddy.

488
00:24:39,857 --> 00:24:42,617
Speaker 1: That's everyone's gonna know about this. Everyone's gonna write stuff.

489
00:24:44,097 --> 00:24:45,137
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.

490
00:24:45,177 --> 00:24:47,417
Speaker 2: And by the way, there's stuff getting leaked about what

491
00:24:47,457 --> 00:24:49,977
Speaker 2: a bad guy he is by the you know, prosecution

492
00:24:50,177 --> 00:24:53,857
Speaker 2: and the investigators frankly every day. So he's trying to

493
00:24:53,897 --> 00:24:57,577
Speaker 2: fight back. They're trying to suppress his First Amendment rights.

494
00:24:57,617 --> 00:24:59,337
Speaker 2: Now he may be the worst guy in the world.

495
00:24:59,497 --> 00:25:01,097
Speaker 2: He may have done this stuff, and they may have

496
00:25:01,217 --> 00:25:02,737
Speaker 2: him dead to rights, and he may go to jail

497
00:25:02,737 --> 00:25:05,697
Speaker 2: for the rest of his life. Right now, he's innocent, okay,

498
00:25:05,737 --> 00:25:07,017
Speaker 2: even though he can't get bail.

499
00:25:07,297 --> 00:25:08,857
Speaker 3: He's innocent until proven guilty.

500
00:25:09,057 --> 00:25:11,337
Speaker 2: And I don't think it's right, okay, for the same

501
00:25:11,497 --> 00:25:14,537
Speaker 2: reason I didn't think Donald Trump should be gagged from

502
00:25:14,577 --> 00:25:18,097
Speaker 2: speaking about his case. So what we're seeing broadly is

503
00:25:18,217 --> 00:25:22,937
Speaker 2: efforts to attack the First Amendment by prosecutors, by you know,

504
00:25:23,057 --> 00:25:26,097
Speaker 2: people on the left, and sometimes by people on the

505
00:25:26,177 --> 00:25:30,057
Speaker 2: right too. And I think it's a bad idea, okay.

506
00:25:30,697 --> 00:25:33,257
Speaker 2: And you know, we have a tradition in the United

507
00:25:33,257 --> 00:25:36,777
Speaker 2: States of unfettered debate. I think it's really important to

508
00:25:36,777 --> 00:25:37,497
Speaker 2: the country.

509
00:25:37,857 --> 00:25:38,577
Speaker 3: And you can.

510
00:25:38,497 --> 00:25:42,057
Speaker 2: See in Europe when you start letting people you know,

511
00:25:42,217 --> 00:25:45,177
Speaker 2: get arrested because they say things the government doesn't like,

512
00:25:45,657 --> 00:25:49,297
Speaker 2: it actually happens. Okay, it happens in Germany, It's happening

513
00:25:49,297 --> 00:25:52,497
Speaker 2: increasingly in England. I don't want to live in that country.

514
00:25:52,657 --> 00:25:55,417
Speaker 2: I'd rather have too much speech than not enough. I'd

515
00:25:55,497 --> 00:25:58,697
Speaker 2: rather have all the eight Chan trolls in the world, okay.

516
00:25:58,937 --> 00:26:03,897
Speaker 2: And somehow the left has forgotten this now. I don't

517
00:26:03,897 --> 00:26:05,137
Speaker 2: want the right to forget it too.

518
00:26:06,337 --> 00:26:09,217
Speaker 1: I've got a closing question for Alex. Here a second,

519
00:26:09,377 --> 00:26:11,297
Speaker 1: I'll put it out there, Alex, but we're we're gonna

520
00:26:11,337 --> 00:26:13,377
Speaker 1: have a pause on your answer because I have to

521
00:26:13,737 --> 00:26:16,497
Speaker 1: mention our sponsor here. But closing question would be the

522
00:26:16,497 --> 00:26:21,417
Speaker 1: most important thing for public health that could be achieved

523
00:26:21,777 --> 00:26:24,577
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five for Trump. Most more thing that

524
00:26:24,617 --> 00:26:26,977
Speaker 1: could make people healthy that could be done, going for it,

525
00:26:27,057 --> 00:26:29,817
Speaker 1: but hold up for that. Look, I know for a

526
00:26:29,817 --> 00:26:32,257
Speaker 1: lot of people your team is coming in right now.

527
00:26:32,297 --> 00:26:34,777
Speaker 1: Trump a lot of good things for the economy, a

528
00:26:34,817 --> 00:26:37,817
Speaker 1: lot of reason for optimism. But we still have a

529
00:26:37,817 --> 00:26:39,297
Speaker 1: big problem with the debt and that's not going to

530
00:26:39,377 --> 00:26:41,617
Speaker 1: any time soon. And no matter what happens, this is

531
00:26:41,617 --> 00:26:45,497
Speaker 1: something that poses a systemic risk to the long term

532
00:26:45,617 --> 00:26:49,217
Speaker 1: financial security of the dollar of the United States. So

533
00:26:49,217 --> 00:26:51,657
Speaker 1: so many people have taken action about this and try

534
00:26:51,697 --> 00:26:55,897

00:27:23,457 --> 00:27:26,777
Speaker 1: Most important thing that could be done by Trump and

546
00:27:27,057 --> 00:27:30,297
Speaker 1: whever his HHS secretary will be, people think rf K Junior.

547
00:27:30,337 --> 00:27:32,017
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of opposition to that, I think,

548
00:27:32,057 --> 00:27:34,937
Speaker 1: but we'll see what could be done.

549
00:27:35,937 --> 00:27:38,057
Speaker 2: So by the way, I think r K Junior gets in,

550
00:27:38,897 --> 00:27:42,697
Speaker 2: if they can limit I mean the most important sort

551
00:27:42,697 --> 00:27:44,777
Speaker 2: of specific thing they can do, If they can limit

552
00:27:44,817 --> 00:27:48,537
Speaker 2: pharmaceutical advertising to consumers, that'd be a big deal.

553
00:27:48,577 --> 00:27:49,177
Speaker 3: Now they can't.

554
00:27:49,377 --> 00:27:51,577
Speaker 2: I'm convinced they cannot ban it because you know, we

555
00:27:51,617 --> 00:27:53,777
Speaker 2: have pretty strong Again, you're just.

556
00:27:54,057 --> 00:27:56,337
Speaker 1: Very passionate about the First Amendment. We can't.

557
00:27:56,377 --> 00:27:58,857
Speaker 3: That's right, But that's no no. But but I don't

558
00:27:58,857 --> 00:28:00,057
Speaker 3: think that they should ban it.

559
00:28:00,337 --> 00:28:02,057
Speaker 2: But I do think that, you know, there should be

560
00:28:02,137 --> 00:28:05,977
Speaker 2: better disclosure of risk that you know, these these products

561
00:28:06,097 --> 00:28:09,617
Speaker 2: can't be bought directly by consumers, so there should be

562
00:28:09,697 --> 00:28:14,057
Speaker 2: reasons limits on how they are marketed to consumers. And

563
00:28:14,057 --> 00:28:16,057
Speaker 2: and I don't really think we have those right now.

564
00:28:16,657 --> 00:28:18,497
Speaker 2: Call me a hypocrite if you want. I don't think

565
00:28:18,537 --> 00:28:21,017
Speaker 2: that that's a hypocritical position. I'm not calling for the

566
00:28:21,057 --> 00:28:24,057
Speaker 2: total band, just better disclosure.

567
00:28:24,057 --> 00:28:25,217
Speaker 3: I guess I would say, do.

568
00:28:25,137 --> 00:28:28,337
Speaker 1: We I mean on the vaccine schedule, because you know,

569
00:28:28,377 --> 00:28:31,657
Speaker 1: I want to really poke the bear here. I'm someone

570
00:28:31,737 --> 00:28:33,697
Speaker 1: I think was doctor Marty McCay actually told me in

571
00:28:33,697 --> 00:28:37,217
Speaker 1: an interview it's something like seventy there's something like seventy

572
00:28:37,297 --> 00:28:41,057
Speaker 1: vaccines that how is this possible that we have so

573
00:28:41,137 --> 00:28:41,977
Speaker 1: many vaccines?

574
00:28:42,017 --> 00:28:44,457
Speaker 3: Now? We've had we've had vaccine creep.

575
00:28:44,737 --> 00:28:47,217
Speaker 2: Honestly, we've had, you know, from stuff that you know

576
00:28:47,257 --> 00:28:49,817
Speaker 2: that I don't think anybody would think, or maybe a

577
00:28:49,817 --> 00:28:53,577
Speaker 2: few people, but you know, polio or or or measles,

578
00:28:53,777 --> 00:28:57,337
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, you know there's there's an

579
00:28:57,457 --> 00:29:02,177
Speaker 2: HPV vaccine, you know, which that's a sexually transmitted disease.

580
00:29:02,257 --> 00:29:04,777
Speaker 3: Like I think it's you know, it's.

581
00:29:04,617 --> 00:29:09,457
Speaker 2: A legitimate, uh question, and something that parents should get

582
00:29:09,457 --> 00:29:11,137
Speaker 2: to decide if you want your twelve year old to

583
00:29:11,137 --> 00:29:12,217
Speaker 2: get the HPV vaccine.

584
00:29:12,257 --> 00:29:13,457
Speaker 3: It really shouldn't be pushed.

585
00:29:13,937 --> 00:29:17,657
Speaker 2: But you know, you've had this this creep because public

586
00:29:17,697 --> 00:29:20,497
Speaker 2: health experts basically love vaccines.

587
00:29:20,497 --> 00:29:21,617
Speaker 3: But let me let me pull back.

588
00:29:21,657 --> 00:29:24,217
Speaker 2: Okay, I gave you one specific example, and you you

589
00:29:24,257 --> 00:29:27,137
Speaker 2: sort of gave me one specific example. I think the

590
00:29:27,297 --> 00:29:30,537
Speaker 2: number one thing that could happen. That would make public

591
00:29:30,617 --> 00:29:33,257
Speaker 2: health better in the United States, that would help us

592
00:29:33,297 --> 00:29:36,617
Speaker 2: all be healthier is if we were all more genuinely

593
00:29:36,817 --> 00:29:39,137
Speaker 2: skeptical of medicine.

594
00:29:39,217 --> 00:29:42,937
Speaker 3: And I don't mean that that means you.

595
00:29:42,977 --> 00:29:45,817
Speaker 2: Never go to the doctor, okay, or that you never

596
00:29:45,897 --> 00:29:47,937
Speaker 2: take a vaccine, or that you never, you know, let

597
00:29:47,977 --> 00:29:49,097
Speaker 2: your kid get immunized.

598
00:29:49,137 --> 00:29:51,417
Speaker 3: What I mean is the.

599
00:29:51,457 --> 00:29:53,737
Speaker 2: Number one thing you can do for your own health

600
00:29:53,817 --> 00:29:58,177
Speaker 2: is to eat decently, exercise reasonably, get some good sleep,

601
00:29:58,257 --> 00:29:59,097
Speaker 2: and get outside.

602
00:29:59,217 --> 00:30:02,737
Speaker 3: Okay. It's that simple. And we in the United States

603
00:30:03,057 --> 00:30:03,777
Speaker 3: in particular.

604
00:30:03,857 --> 00:30:06,657
Speaker 2: It's true in every advanced country, but it's really true

605
00:30:06,697 --> 00:30:09,777
Speaker 2: in this country. We get ourselves sick, we let ourselves

606
00:30:09,817 --> 00:30:12,857
Speaker 2: get and then we expect things of medicine that it

607
00:30:12,977 --> 00:30:16,537
Speaker 2: cannot provide, okay. And I think I think this sort

608
00:30:16,577 --> 00:30:20,057
Speaker 2: of philosophical idea that that is another reason we are

609
00:30:20,097 --> 00:30:22,617
Speaker 2: so angry at healthcare in this country. We spend so

610
00:30:22,737 --> 00:30:25,217
Speaker 2: much on it and we expect it to do more

611
00:30:25,257 --> 00:30:28,897
Speaker 2: than it can. Ultimately, you're going to be responsible for

612
00:30:28,937 --> 00:30:31,297
Speaker 2: You've got to be responsible for your own health, and

613
00:30:31,457 --> 00:30:34,177
Speaker 2: ultimately you've got to know, like over time, your health

614
00:30:34,297 --> 00:30:36,657
Speaker 2: is going to deteriorate as you age, you've got to

615
00:30:36,697 --> 00:30:39,177
Speaker 2: fight it, you've got to try your best, and you

616
00:30:39,337 --> 00:30:43,377
Speaker 2: can't depend on doctors to fix things for you all

617
00:30:43,417 --> 00:30:43,817
Speaker 2: the time.

618
00:30:44,977 --> 00:30:48,737
Speaker 1: I think that that's completely spot on, and uh, there's

619
00:30:48,777 --> 00:30:51,377
Speaker 1: a brilliant summation of a very important problem. I honestly

620
00:30:51,737 --> 00:30:55,097
Speaker 1: truly like not no all kidding aside. I think that's

621
00:30:55,097 --> 00:30:57,337
Speaker 1: absolutely essential. I think that that actually goes to the

622
00:30:57,417 --> 00:31:03,537
Speaker 1: United Healthcare CEO assassination sort of sympathizers. Then I think

623
00:31:03,537 --> 00:31:05,577
Speaker 1: it's a proper word. The people that are sympathizing with

624
00:31:05,697 --> 00:31:08,777
Speaker 1: is they keep thinking, if only, you know, the big

625
00:31:08,817 --> 00:31:11,777
Speaker 1: bad healthcare companies things differently, No, we would actually still

626
00:31:11,817 --> 00:31:14,337
Speaker 1: have all the morbidity that we have and all this

627
00:31:14,377 --> 00:31:16,977
Speaker 1: stuff out there. It's actually very rare for someone to

628
00:31:16,977 --> 00:31:19,817
Speaker 1: be denied life saving, truly life saving care by a

629
00:31:19,897 --> 00:31:24,457
Speaker 1: healthcare company. You know, these things actually are overwhelmingly not happening.

630
00:31:24,457 --> 00:31:26,457
Speaker 1: And whenever someone yells at me for saying this, I

631
00:31:26,537 --> 00:31:30,297
Speaker 1: point out that in every poll, sixty five percent of

632
00:31:30,297 --> 00:31:33,137
Speaker 1: Americans give or take say that they like their they

633
00:31:33,257 --> 00:31:35,297
Speaker 1: like their health care, which means they like their health

634
00:31:35,297 --> 00:31:37,777
Speaker 1: their health care company, and in some polls it's like

635
00:31:37,857 --> 00:31:38,977
Speaker 1: seventy five percent.

636
00:31:39,057 --> 00:31:39,657
Speaker 3: By the way.

637
00:31:39,777 --> 00:31:43,097
Speaker 1: So this idea that you know, oh, if only the

638
00:31:43,097 --> 00:31:47,257
Speaker 1: big healthcare companies were regulated differently, did things differently, what

639
00:31:47,337 --> 00:31:49,137
Speaker 1: everything would be fine. I just think that's I think

640
00:31:49,177 --> 00:31:52,337
Speaker 1: it's a fantasy. It's a little bit of a of

641
00:31:52,377 --> 00:31:54,657
Speaker 1: a utopian mindset. And I think that that's what you're

642
00:31:54,657 --> 00:31:56,777
Speaker 1: going to do, which is people need to be very active.

643
00:31:56,937 --> 00:31:59,217
Speaker 1: The people that I know who have the most disposable

644
00:31:59,257 --> 00:32:03,937
Speaker 1: resources and the most interest in their health are incredibly

645
00:32:04,377 --> 00:32:08,457
Speaker 1: active in all aspects of it. Meaning they seek out

646
00:32:08,497 --> 00:32:11,177
Speaker 1: certain kinds of doctors, seek out and kinds of specialists,

647
00:32:11,217 --> 00:32:14,737
Speaker 1: and seek out a lot of preventative care, you know,

648
00:32:14,897 --> 00:32:18,497
Speaker 1: active management of health, blood work every six months, you know,

649
00:32:18,697 --> 00:32:20,777
Speaker 1: all these kinds of things. And those are the people

650
00:32:20,817 --> 00:32:23,137
Speaker 1: that can spend it take care of themselves right right,

651
00:32:23,177 --> 00:32:24,737
Speaker 1: And those are the people that can spend whatever money

652
00:32:24,737 --> 00:32:26,697
Speaker 1: they want on their health. They don't show up at

653
00:32:26,737 --> 00:32:29,857
Speaker 1: a doctor once every year or two, you know, and

654
00:32:29,857 --> 00:32:31,977
Speaker 1: and have not done these things that you're talking about,

655
00:32:31,977 --> 00:32:33,977
Speaker 1: which you're critical for. Eleman. Remember when remember when this

656
00:32:34,177 --> 00:32:37,457
Speaker 1: radical idea with COVID was you need vitamin D like

657
00:32:37,457 --> 00:32:40,337
Speaker 1: you actually need to get sunlight and and and it

658
00:32:40,457 --> 00:32:42,697
Speaker 1: really came through that that was important for you and

659
00:32:42,737 --> 00:32:45,857
Speaker 1: your immunity levels for COVID vitamin D And people at

00:32:45,897 --> 00:32:47,697
Speaker 1: first were like, well that's all that can't be and

661
00:32:47,697 --> 00:32:50,537
Speaker 1: it's like, no, it actually we've always known this, These

662
00:32:50,537 --> 00:32:53,857
