We'll have a little bit of 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: spooky fun with all of you as we roll throughout 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: this day. I know a lot of kids and grandkids 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 2: and also many adults out there will be going a 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 2: little bit a little bit fasted. Buck, you're did you 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: get the candy? Are you going to at least give 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 2: candy out to children who knock on your door? 13 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 3: Not only is my wife responsible now for picking up 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 3: a bunch of candy so that we can spread I 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 3: don't know what this, this notion that I'm so anti 16 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 3: Halloween just because I don't address Halloween hater, I think 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 3: you should just own it. There's probably a segment of 18 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 3: the population. You could be their king. I just because 19 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 3: I don't dress up as like mister potato Head or 20 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: something where I'm not dressed as Taylor Swift's new bau. 21 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: Whatever, everybody dress as Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift this year. 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: That's my number one Halloween costume. 23 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 3: I don't think anybody would buy me as Travis Kelcey, 24 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: so i'd probably stay away from that costume. Nonetheless, no, 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 3: we're gonna be given out candy. We might even have 26 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 3: the depending. The puppy if she's in a teething mood, 27 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: might be kind of terrifying, So we could probably put 28 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 3: like a little you know, Dracula cape on her because 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 3: she likes to she likes to nip like Dracula does. 30 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 2: The dogs getting dressed up, I'm not gonna lie, especially 31 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: when they put fake legs on them and it looks 32 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: like they're running. I mean, those videos are very popular 33 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: on Instagram. I can't I laugh every time I see it. 34 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: I mean, it works on me, the dogs in costume. 35 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: So if you guys now have the opportunity, I. 36 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: Have a confession to make real quick, which is that 37 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 3: you know, we do have some candy already in the house, 38 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: and I just think that Reese's pieces are fair game. 39 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 3: Like I don't think that has to be a Halloween 40 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: candy thing. Like, I think you can just hit the 41 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 3: Reese's pieces whenever you feel like it. You mean, the 42 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 3: peanut buttercups, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. 43 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: I think the Reese's Peanut butter cup is the absolute 44 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: apex of can the creation. 45 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: I don't think you can be. 46 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: I think that's actually the most popular single candy. What 47 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: you'll see at some point, Buck, when you have children 48 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: is Halloween is a great opportunity to teach him about taxation. 49 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: So the dad tax shows up. 50 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 2: And they come back with, you know, tons of candy, 51 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: and Dad will dive in and say, hey, this is 52 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: what the government does. Government just takes you know, you know, 53 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: you you did all the work, you brought it back home. 54 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: And then Dad's big government just goes right into the 55 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: candy and takes whatever he wants. A percentage of your 56 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: urice's piece is missing, and all of a sudden you 57 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: recognize that maybe taxation is theft. The other thing that 58 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: your kids will get smart about, Buck one day, is 59 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 2: they know what I like the best. So when people 60 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: leave candy out and they get to pick what candy 61 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: that they want to get, you know, this is not 62 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: a nice thing to do. If you're going to be 63 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: out of a town. Put the ball out, say, you know, 64 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: take one piece. Kids will hopefully hit be honest do it. 65 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 2: But I love peanut m and ms. For instance, my 66 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: kids will not take a Peanut minem or a Reese's 67 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: Pieces cup if they are the options there, because they 68 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: know that Dad is more likely to tax that. So 69 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: there is like a CounterPunch to the Dad tax when 70 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: it shows up. So again, parents, good opportunity to teach 71 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 2: about taxation and how unfair it is by going in 72 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: taking a few pieces of candy. Later tonight, all that's 73 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: going on, we'll have some fun with that. I watched 74 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: Scream last night with the boys. 75 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: Buck. 76 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: We've been watching a lot of Halloween movies the Lost Boys. 77 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: It's been a lot of fun to watch the eighties 78 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: and nineties movies with them. But there are serious things 79 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: going on. We have double wars, and the pivot from 80 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: what candy is the best to war going on in 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 2: Israel is probably one that doesn't happen on very many 82 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: shows in America. We're covering all the bases here, and 83 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: yesterday Benjamin net Yahoo came out and he's got it. 84 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: I think a really strong editorial in this morning's Wall 85 00:03:55,200 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: Street Journal Buck making basically the same argument, which is this, 86 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: what is going on in Israel right now, anyone who 87 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: is arguing for a ceasefire would essentially be saying, after 88 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: Pearl Harbor or nine to eleven, Hey, America, you need 89 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: to just let the people who attack you get away 90 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: with it. There's nothing that you should do. Listen to this, 91 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: which I think is a pretty powerful argument. 92 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 4: I want to make clear Israel's position regarding the cease fire. 93 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 4: Just as the United States would not agree to a 94 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 4: cease fire after the bombing of Pearl Harbor or after 95 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 4: the terrorist attack of nine to eleven, Israel will not 96 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 4: agree to a cessation of facilities with Ramas after the 97 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 4: horrific attacks of October seventh. 98 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: Calls for a cease fire. 99 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 4: Are calls for Israel to surrender to Hamas, to surrender 100 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 4: to terrorism, to surrender to barbarism. 101 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: That will not happen. 102 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: It is fundamentally a fight between civilization and barbarism. We've 103 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: said that on this show net Yahoo is you know, 104 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: reiterating that and leading this fight now as a prime 105 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: minister of Israel against the barbarism of Hamas. One thing 106 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: that I do think is interesting from just the perspective 107 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 3: of how this is perceived in America in the Middle East. 108 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: This is much more about Islam and Judaism. It's much 109 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 3: more of that. There's a religious component to the way 110 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 3: people frame the conflict in this country. It's it's very apparent. 111 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: And you see this with the way there's been BLM solidarity, 112 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 3: and you see this with the campus anti colonialist activists 113 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 3: lunatics walking around, you know, marching around and shouting and 114 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: all the anti Semitism they're spewing. They think of this 115 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: as a racial conflict, which is completely rooted in ignorance 116 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 3: of what Israel really is and who really lives there 117 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 3: and the situation and the fact that there are a 118 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: million Palestinians who live inside of Israel in peace and security, 119 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: that most Israelis are actually ethnically from the Middle East 120 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: or not Ashkenazi or European descent Jews. That there are 121 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 3: Ethiopian Jews, I mean, there are Iraqi Jews, there are 122 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 3: Algerian Jews. You got on this whole list. So there's 123 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 3: a tremendous amount of ignorance about the conflict that is 124 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: fueling part of the left wing lunacy here, Clay. And 125 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 3: then there's different left wing lunacies or you know, different 126 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 3: either ignorance or anti Semitism, or a combination thereof that 127 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: you're seeing more prevalent overseas in the whether it's the 128 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: situation in the streets in London or you know, other cities. 129 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 3: Obviously we mentioned yesterday in Dagistan, which is think of 130 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: it like a little breakaway region next to Chechnia. And 131 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 3: in Dagistan there was a group a mob that chased 132 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: that they were trying to find Jews that were flying 133 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 3: in from I think a flight from Israel and they 134 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 3: were trying to chase them around the airport and you know, 135 00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 3: terrify them. So this has become a global really a 136 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: global debate at some level about you know, who's right here, 137 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: who's wrong? And I just don't think it could be 138 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 3: any more clear than what we've already said and what 139 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: we've already seen. You know, Hamas, the notion of a ceasefire, 140 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 3: Clay Hamas is still a threat to Israel right now. 141 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: There could be another terror attack tomorrow, There could be 142 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: another terror attack in a year. The infrastructure that they have, 143 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,559 Speaker 3: the planning, the plotting, the fighters are all still well, 144 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: not all They've been taken out, some of them, but 145 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: largely still in place, and so not only are the 146 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: people demanding a ceasefire and the people pretending that collateral 147 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: unintentional collateral civilian casualties on the Israeli side are the 148 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: same thing as what Hamas did. That is a lie 149 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: and that's really one of the fundamental lies of all this. 150 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: But they're asking the Israelis or demanding that the Israelis 151 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: not seek justice and not really defend themselves because there's 152 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 3: an ongoing threat. This would that's why the al Qaeda. 153 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: Now people forget this. Clay I worked in CTC at 154 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: the CIA, and there were a lot of al Qaeda 155 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: efforts after nine to eleven. There were ongoing efforts. People 156 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: forget this. We were very close to losing an airliner 157 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: on Christmas Day and I think it was Obama's first 158 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: year in office. People remember the shoe bomber. This is 159 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: why I had to take your shoes off of they Oh, 160 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 3: you know in retrospet people think, O, well, it didn't work. 161 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: It could have worked. Obviously they had a plan. 162 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 3: Obviously they were trying to take down an entire I 163 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 3: think there were like one hundred and forty people on 164 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 3: this plane on Christmas Day two thousand and nine. Yeah, 165 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 3: So they were ongoing al Qaeda plots, ongoing terrorist threats, 166 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: and that was many, many years later. There were many 167 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 3: that happened before that, big plots to blow up planes 168 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: and other things. So what is the what is the 169 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: call for cease What I would want to know, Clay, 170 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 3: for anyone who says we should have a ceasefire, when 171 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 3: does the ceasefire cease? 172 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: When it does, it allowed to fight back. That's that's 173 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 2: the important part. The ceasefire is not designed to actually 174 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 2: ever allow Israel to attack. And this was my concern Buck, 175 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 2: as Israel waited two weeks basically to go into Gaza 176 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: and start to fully take on Hamas inside of Gaza, 177 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: was that they were going to end up bending to 178 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 2: political pressure because in the immediate aftermath of the attack, 179 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: there's a lot of people saying, go go, this is 180 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: the smart move, This makes a ton of sense. But 181 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: once that immediate aftermath begins to fade, there becomes the 182 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: argument of well. 183 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: Do you really need to go in now? 184 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: And I give net and Yahoo credit for making a clear, concise, 185 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: I think very important argument, not only the audio we 186 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: just played, but in his Wall Street Journal editorial also 187 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: Buck what does it say that NETANYAHUO is more eloquent 188 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 2: in English than Joe Biden? Is I mean that Israel 189 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: can be led by And I understand people are like, well, 190 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 2: there's all sorts of issues domestically in Israel outside of 191 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: the Hamas attack. I understand. But Netanyahu is a I think, 192 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: brilliant guy who is lawlessly able to elucidate the compelling 193 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: nature of his nation's quest to remove Hamas as a 194 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: threat in a foreign language better than Joe Biden right 195 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: now can communicate in the only language, to my knowledge, 196 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden can speak, which is English. 197 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 3: Well, it's impossible for Joe Biden to exert real leadership 198 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 3: because anybody who is interacting with him is going to 199 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 3: be aware of his infirmity, his frailty, and the decline 200 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 3: that he's in. And if you are another you know, 201 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 3: if you're another head of state, for example, if you're 202 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 3: his peer, you're going to recognize this and see that 203 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 3: you don't have somebody who who he's doing anything other 204 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 3: than going through the motions. Really, and like we always discuss, 205 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 3: I think that there is a machinery and apparatus that 206 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 3: is effectively running the Biden presidency and that it's not 207 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 3: which you know, you couldn't say that about the Trump 208 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 3: presidency just so it's good. That's not always the case, right, 209 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 3: you know, the Trump presidency, he was running it right 210 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: like he would make decisions, and he would decide, this 211 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 3: is the way it's going to go, this is the policy. 212 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: Sometimes people say. 213 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 3: Maybe he went a little too quickly with things before 214 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: letting the rest of the staff know, But nonetheless he 215 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 3: was I like this Bush phrase, the decider. I don't 216 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 3: think people believe Joe Biden's the decider. And I'm not 217 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 3: even sure that's a real word. 218 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: But it should be. No, I mean, I think that's 219 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: ultimately all you're voting on. 220 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 2: When you were voting for the president of the United States, 221 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: what you're effectively asking is who do you believe is 222 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: when faced with some of the most difficult decisions without 223 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: necessarily a ton of time to make those choices, who 224 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: do you believe can analyze that data and make the 225 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 2: most rational decision on behalf of the American public. Certainly 226 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: it's not Joe Biden. We don't even know who's making choices. 227 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: Which is in sight is Biden White House. 228 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 3: There's a not insignificant possibility that at some point in 229 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 3: the weeks ahead, there may be an assault on US 230 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: military personnel. There have already been some exchanges with these 231 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: Shea militias, but there may be something more substantial that 232 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 3: we'll have Iranian fingerprints all over it. We may have 233 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 3: us loss of life. God forbid, but this kind of 234 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 3: thing could happen. The Iranians are certainly threatening that it 235 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 3: will happen. Rather, these militias are threatening it will happen. 236 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 3: And that's when the commander in chief. That's when the 237 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 3: decider matters, because what's his response going to be. 238 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: Will it be. 239 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 3: Enough that our enemies recognize they better back off? Will 240 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: it be so much that perhaps it spirals into a 241 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: broader conflict which would not be advisable. This is where 242 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 3: decision making matters. And the fact that we have the 243 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 3: president we have right now does not instill comp and 244 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 3: said anyone, and I would even argue it does not 245 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 3: instill confidence in Democrats relative to in their mind other 246 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: Democrats who could be in the role, not a comparison 247 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 3: to Trump, because they think Trump is, you know, the 248 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 3: worst person ever, but even relative to in other Democrats, 249 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 3: I think they recognize Joe Biden as wanting in this 250 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: role when we come back. 251 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 2: I want to ask you about this. Uh, how let's 252 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: say Biden has to make a response. How many divergent 253 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: opinions do you think he's getting right now from a 254 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: national security perspective? Or do you think there is before 255 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: they even get to Biden because of concerns about his 256 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: mental state. Do you think they have those battles outside 257 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: of his presence and then they only come to Biden 258 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: with whatever the consensus they present him with, like the 259 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: blueplate special menu. 260 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's between two things. 261 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm curious how you would assess that if 262 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 2: it were to happen. And I mean, it's as scary 263 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: to think about, but I think your point about, hey, 264 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 2: he's going to have to make decisions that there aren't 265 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: necessarily always great options on. Do we trust this guy 266 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: to make any decision right now? And he might have 267 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 2: the most freighted, most consequential, most in danger of World 268 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 2: War III in the last twenty some odd years, all 269 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: of a sudden, directly on his desk.

Whatever percentage of success they're having unknown, but 277 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 2: it shows you how brazen an online hacker will be 278 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: to get your information so they can exploit it for 279 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: financial gain.

He 297 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 3: has multiple criminal indictments outstanding at this point, and it 298 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 3: seems that some of those trials, or one or two 299 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 3: of those trials may actually go forward before the election. 300 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: Pocket Dreulie Kelly about that in a little bit. But 301 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 3: there is currently a trial underway in New York City. 302 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 3: Former President Trump is on trial in a two hundred 303 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 3: and fifty million dollar lawsuit, and he has also been 304 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: This was the breaking news. I think that there's a 305 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 3: whole segment of Democrats for whom watching Trump on trial. 306 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: Is this this skilty pleasure. 307 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: They just love the idea of him being in a 308 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 3: court room and being harassed and having to go through 309 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 3: all of this. But he was just fined ten thousand 310 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 3: dollars play for violating by this judge Angern we all 311 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: know is clearly an anti Trump fanatic. This is in 312 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: a civil trial, so he can't he can't lock him up, 313 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 3: but well, maybe for contempt, but he's already finned him 314 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars. And this is because the judge says 315 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 3: that Trump referred disparagingly to a law clerk during making 316 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 3: a statement outside the court. I think Trump is saying 317 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 3: he was actually talking about Michael Cohen, whom I believe 318 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 3: he's allowed, certainly allowed to disparage Michael Cohen. He's done 319 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: play talking about who the insult is directed to is 320 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 3: a very Trump, a very Trump, very Trump thing. He's like, 321 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 3: that's not who I was making fun of. I was 322 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 3: making fun of another person. Uh So, it is two 323 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty million dollar lawsuits underway. There are a few 324 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 3: things here that I think are worth our time, worth 325 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 3: talking about on the civil trial front. First of all, 326 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: this is all part of the same strategy as the 327 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 3: criminal trials, which is to wear down Trump financially and 328 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 3: just in terms of his time. Every minute that he 329 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 3: spends on the phone. 330 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 5: With his lawyers or you know, in meetings with his lawyers. 331 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 3: Talking about this civil trial is time and money not 332 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 3: spent running for. 333 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 5: President of the United States again. And they know that. 334 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 3: There's also the possible so this is a process. Is 335 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 3: the punishment component play. There's also the the reality here 336 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 3: that to if and it is a very large settlement 337 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 3: against Trump. You know, even for Trump, if you start 338 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 3: to see the say it's two hundred fifty million dollar lawsuit, 339 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 3: you start to see some big numbers that maybe come 340 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: out of this. I mean, I think he lost a 341 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 3: five million dollar lawsuit to Egene Carroll, right, that was 342 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 3: that was the DEAFA, that was a heat for him 343 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 3: defaming her and in the rape allegation, and so he 344 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 3: lost five million dollar judgment there. He is in a 345 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 3: two hundred fifty million dollar lawsuit here. I think they're 346 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 3: trying to just drain Trump resources in every way possible. 347 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 3: It's good politics, unfortunately, which is very sad to say 348 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 3: for Leticia James, the Attorney General of New York and 349 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 3: the various people involved. 350 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 5: In this in this civil trial. 351 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: But also I think it just goes to show it's 352 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,719 Speaker 3: yet another abuse of the law. Donald Trump is being 353 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: dragged into court to answer for defrauding banks who never 354 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 3: claim they were defrauded, who didn't lose anything, based on 355 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 3: absurd counter valuations of Trump assets from people that are 356 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 3: bringing these charges that that that wouldn't hold up in 357 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 3: any realistic world. I mean, I guess that's part of 358 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 3: why Trump is looking forward maybe to testifying. And I 359 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 3: would assume he's looking forward to ex he's Trump on Monday, 360 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: because he gets to just hammer away what a sham 361 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 3: this whole thing is. 362 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 2: Yes, And I also think it's an early preview buck 363 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 2: for what might happen in the event that we get 364 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: the trial in DC in March of next year. 365 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: I I I. 366 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 2: The example I keep using here because I do think 367 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 2: it makes it registers with a lot of people. Is 368 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 2: I just think Democrats are the equivalent of the guy 369 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: who gets married because he thinks it's going to solve 370 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: all of his relationship issues, and then at some point 371 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 2: there's a there's a wedding day set and it just 372 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: keeps getting closer and closer, and there is no resolution 373 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 2: going to happen other than the wedding date is not 374 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: going away. And so I don't know, if you've been 375 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: paying attention, they're now discussing should they or should they 376 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 2: not carry this live every day because the general rule 377 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: in federal district court is you do not carry any 378 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: camera version of the video version of the of the trial, 379 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 2: and right now you're even seeing this a little bit 380 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 2: in New York Buck, because the only evidence we really 381 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: have of Trump on the stand is the court sketches 382 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: and then whatever somebody tweets out from inside of the courtroom. 383 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 2: We're going to have to have a big discussion on 384 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 2: this show. What do we do when they're in March 385 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: if they go to trial and they're trying to convict 386 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 2: President Trump of felonies and he is the Republican nominee 387 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 2: for President of the United States, which is you would 388 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: have to bet would be the case right now? How 389 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: much of this trial would we cover if it's going 390 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 2: on live every day while we're on the air. I 391 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 2: don't think there would have been a trial that would 392 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 2: receive this level of attention since OJ And you know, 393 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 2: we kind of got a preview of this with Fox News, 394 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 2: for instance, carried a lot of the Murdoch trial, and 395 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: they carried a lot of the Johnny Depp trial, and 396 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: the ratings were fabulous for them, or they wouldn't have 397 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: been carrying it. This will be off the charts in 398 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,239 Speaker 2: terms of the amount of interest and attention that this 399 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: will receive. And so the first question that's going to 400 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: have to be resolved is the one that they're now 401 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: debating in New York. What are the consequences going to 402 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 2: be for Trump when he violates the gag order? Because 403 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 2: he's going to do it all the time. 404 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: Here is Eric. 405 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 3: Holder, former Obama administration Attorney General. This is a cut 406 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 3: fifteen saying, look, if it were not Trump, jail would 407 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 3: be a possibility, but they're not throwing Trump in jail. 408 00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: Play it. 409 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 6: Oh, would a judge actually do that which would happen 410 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 6: to a normal person and put somebody in jail for 411 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 6: violating in order not to a gag order? I suspect 412 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 6: that's not likely to happen with this defendant, but any 413 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 6: other defendant would probably be facing me. 414 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 2: You don't think that she would put him in jail, 415 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: or that they would decide to put him in jail ultimately. 416 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 6: I just don't think so. I mean, I think there 417 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 6: are a number of things. You'd put monetary fines on him, 418 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 6: as the judge did in New York, perhaps restrict his 419 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 6: ability to use truth, social you know a number of things. 420 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 6: I try to be as creative as possible if I 421 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 6: were the judge, but I'd be extremely reluctant to take 422 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 6: a person who's a former president, the leading candidate one 423 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 6: of our major parties, and actually put him in jail. 424 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: Clay, this is to the point you are making. 425 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 3: I think that that now the Democrats are right on 426 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 3: the edge here of seeing they've been told that Trump 427 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 3: is going to prison. They've been told that Trump is 428 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 3: going to be in handcuffs. This has been seven years 429 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: in the making. Okay, this has been the belief all along. 430 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 3: If you're an MSNBC faithful watcher, you think Trump. 431 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 5: Is going to prison. 432 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 3: But now some of the people who actually are in 433 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 3: the Democrat power circles. Now now some of the deciders 434 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 3: around this, I think are starting to recognize what would 435 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 3: that actually do to the guse, What are the optics 436 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 3: on this? How does that look in an election year? 437 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: You know. 438 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 3: I think their belief up to this point has largely 439 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 3: been if Trump is in handcuffs and humiliated, independent voters, 440 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 3: swing voters, etc. Will flee from him, and therefore Joe 441 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,479 Speaker 3: Biden will win. I remember we've said that's their belief, 442 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 3: but they may be miscalculating. I do think there are 443 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 3: some and I think Eric Holder is giving some voice 444 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: to this, who think that may be a miscalculation. 445 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think you have to start to break 446 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 2: this down in so many different levels. And the first 447 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: is I think if you had told Democrats they when 448 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: did this all start and they rated mar A Lago 449 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 2: for the first time in was that like August of 450 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 2: twenty two, Buck that the first mar A Lago rate happened? 451 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 5: Yep. 452 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 2: Basically you've seen every time they've they've upped the Lawfair 453 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 2: on Trump. Republicans have tended to rally around Trump more. 454 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: But what's interesting is Independents haven't abandoned him, and there 455 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: hasn't been that similar rallying force around Joe Biden. And 456 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 2: I think as we sit here basically a year and 457 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: a week until the twenty twenty four elections arise, they 458 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 2: spent twenty five million dollars in the toss up states 459 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 2: the swing states on Joe Biden advertisements, and his numbers 460 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 2: actually went down. 461 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: Buck. 462 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 2: They have hammered Trump and I think gotten basically every 463 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 2: benefit that they could possibly get from the lawfair that 464 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 2: they brought to bear against Trump so far and hasn't 465 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 2: dented him at all. And That's why I'm increasingly of 466 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 2: the opinion and maybe I'm going to be wrong, because 467 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: certainly a lot can change, but I just don't think 468 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 2: people are going to move off of where they are 469 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: right now. Whatever you think of Trump, it's all baked in. 470 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 2: Whatever you think of Biden, it's all baked in. What 471 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 2: could either man do that would make you suddenly think, Hey, 472 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: maybe my perceptions of either of these guys is wrong. 473 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: We've never really had a race like this in any 474 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 2: of our lives, where you effectively have two former presidents 475 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 2: that everybody has seen for years, that everybody knows. 476 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: I just don't think there's very. 477 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: Many moveable people, and that's starting to get I think 478 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 2: the Biden people nervous because they thought no way Trump 479 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: could win. 480 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: I also believe that an unexpected component of how all 481 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 3: of this is playing out is that not only do 482 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: you have the former president leading Republican presidential contender now 483 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 3: facing he's in the middle of a civil trial, facing 484 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: four felony criminal. 485 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: Indictments in different jurisdiction. 486 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 3: But you have that going on with a Democrat president who, 487 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 3: to anyone who is being even remotely honest, is clearly corrupt, 488 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 3: and whose family was clearly engaged in egregious influence pedaling 489 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 3: money laundering, tax evasion, et cetera, et cetera. And the 490 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 3: only question is, you know, to what extent it's provable 491 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 3: that Joe Biden himself was connected into that versus Joe 492 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 3: Biden was used by family members to that end. But 493 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, It'd be one thing if 494 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 3: you had a Democrat in office who no corruption. 495 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: To see here, you know, maybe they've covered it up. 496 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: Really well, we have a clearly corrupt Joe Biden with 497 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 3: a DOJ that is obviously. 498 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: Going after his political opponents. You know what I mean. 499 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: That I think makes it look even worse than it 500 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: would otherwise. 501 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: I think that's a big point here, because what's changed 502 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 2: since twenty twenty, Well, the COVID craziness is gone, which 503 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 2: certainly helped to Joe Biden. Joe Biden has gotten mentally 504 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 2: and physically weaker. But I think the biggest change is 505 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: the favorability ratings of Joe Biden have collapsed. If you 506 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 2: compare the twenty twenty Trump the Biden race to what 507 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: we're potentially going to get in twenty twenty four, both 508 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 2: of these guys have high unfavorable ratings. In twenty twenty, 509 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 2: Biden's favorability was far higher than Joe Biden than Donald Trump, because, 510 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 2: as we talked about, they were able to sell him 511 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 2: as a likable Grandpa Joe. That doesn't exist anymore, and 512 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 2: I think it's because of the chipping away at the 513 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: Biden families. Legacy of lies has now registered with a 514 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 2: huge percentage of the American public, and that means you 515 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 2: don't have a kind of likable guy going up against Trump, 516 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 2: who was polarizing in quite unlikable to many people. You 517 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 2: basically have two guys that have similar levels of likability 518 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: and unlikability, and that seems like a big advantage to 519 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 2: meet a Trump.

Joined by our friend 535 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 2: Julie Kelly. 536 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 3: Now check out her substack Declassified with Julie Kelly, also 537 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 3: her book on January sixth, because you want to really 538 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 3: deep dive into everything that happened that day and the 539 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 3: aftermath of it. Julie, appreciate you being here. As always, 540 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 3: Let's start with Judge Chuckkins's latest. We were just talking 541 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 3: at the top of the hour about a Trump gag 542 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 3: order in the New York civil trial that he is 543 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 3: now according to the judge, he has violated, has a 544 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars fine and says things will get worse. 545 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: There is in the DC criminal trial relating to election 546 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: twenty twenty and January sixth, stuff. Judge Chuckkin also had 547 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 3: a gag order but then removed it but then reinstated 548 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 3: it or something. Bring us up to speed here. 549 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 7: Julie, right, So Judge chuck Kin and I have a 550 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 7: piece up on my subject. I was actually in the 551 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 7: courtroom on October sixteenth as she heard both sides debate. 552 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 7: Was she was very harsh and critical and confrontational with 553 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 7: of course Trump's defense lawyer, but very accommodating to the government. 554 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 7: So she did issue this three page, really flimsy gag order. 555 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 7: You would think for a non precedented ruling of this 556 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 7: nature that it would be really substantive and cite case saw. 557 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 7: That's not It's not the situation at all. So of 558 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 7: course Trump's lawyers immediately filed a notice of appeal asking 559 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 7: her to temporarily stay, which means holds her gag order. 560 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 7: She did that, but then at the government's behest she 561 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 7: lifted her temporary holds, citing his tweet or his post 562 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 7: about Mark Meadows. He's not supposed to make any public 563 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 7: statements about for reasonably foreseeable witnesses. So this is dozens 564 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 7: of people that that was somehow in violation of her 565 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 7: gag order. That there was evidence that he would not 566 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 7: abide by even the basic contours of it, so she 567 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 7: reinstated it where will remain in place until his appeal 568 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 7: is hurt by his free judge panel at the DC Circuit. 569 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 2: So, Julie, what we've seen and Buck and I were 570 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 2: just talking about this from the New York City Court 571 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 2: is they're just going to find Trump. It appears, you know, 572 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 2: five thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, and those are relatively 573 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: minor inconveniences to Trump in some way. I mean, he 574 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 2: can even spend it as I'll gladly pay fifteen twenty 575 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: thousand dollars whatever it is to be able to say 576 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 2: exactly what I think. We played Eric Holder as well 577 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 2: saying hey, I don't think you could ever put Trump 578 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: in jail over contempt of court. 579 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: What do you think Chuckkin would do? 580 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 2: Because if we're all fighting over oh, she's gonna find 581 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: him twenty thousand dollars because he doesn't like she doesn't 582 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: like some truth social post, I think he would probably 583 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: be like, yeah, you know, I'll pay, and he can 584 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 2: appeal and see whether or not that's justified, and it 585 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 2: can go on to the court but if it's just money, 586 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 2: I don't feel like this battle is as significant as 587 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 2: it would be if there was any sort of potential 588 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 2: arrest or imprisonment for violating this What sense do you 589 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 2: get about how ballsy don't use a lack of a 590 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 2: better term, but how risk willing to take. I think 591 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 2: Baldy's probably the best judge Chuckkin would actually be to 592 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 2: put a former president behind bars because he violated a 593 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 2: gag order. 594 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 7: I mean, look, she's Balsley, she is ballzy, she is 595 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 7: highly partisan. She was appointed by Obama. I have a 596 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 7: lengthy piece to at real clear investigation I court through 597 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 7: thousands of pages. I think we talked about this of 598 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 7: court transcripts where she's made inflammatory prejudicial comments about Donald 599 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 7: Trump and his supporters. So this case should be nowhere 600 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 7: near Tanya Chuck, but here we are. I think she 601 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 7: sort of relishes the spotlight. She's a former dancer. She 602 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 7: came to the States from Jamaica to be a performer. 603 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 7: That didn't work out somehowsh go and ended up on 604 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 7: one of the most powerful federal courts in the country. 605 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 7: So I could easily see her sort of jumping over 606 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 7: the fine options and doing something even like home detention, 607 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 7: which is a consequence that they discussed in the court 608 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 7: hearing at the government's behest Molly Gaston, who is the 609 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,720 Speaker 7: assistant US Attorney, walked through number of things that she 610 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 7: could impose if Trump violated this gag order, and certainly 611 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 7: imprisonment would be one of them if he violated it 612 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 7: once or twice, And to your point, saying, well, the 613 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 7: find doesn't matter. He's very wealthy. He doesn't care if 614 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 7: he's buying ten thousand or fifty thousand dollars. We need 615 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 7: to do something more severe, and that would justify something 616 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 7: like home detention or curfew or certainly incarceration. 617 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 2: Okay, sorry to cut you off, Julie as her, but 618 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 2: if I'm advising Trump, then I am, like, you want 619 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 2: to get arrested for saying something in advance of this trial. 620 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 2: I can't think of anything that would be better for 621 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 2: Trump than if they said, hey, you can't leave mar 622 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 2: A Lago. 623 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: That he just leaves mar A Lagos. 624 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 3: Say clear, he's if they give him home the tention, 625 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 3: you know what he's going to do, not detain himself 626 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 3: at home, right, Julie, I mean, and then what happens. 627 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: So that's my point. 628 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he I almost think Julie the 629 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 2: best possible thing he could do is keep pushing this 630 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 2: because if she arrested him before the trial even started, 631 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,399 Speaker 2: it helps his kangaroo court argument immensely to say, yeah, 632 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 2: they tried to convict me of a felony. The judge 633 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 2: put me in jail before it even started. I think 634 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 2: this would blow up in her face massively. 635 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,439 Speaker 7: I think so too. And keep in mind, no matter 636 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 7: how the media describes this as a narrow gag order, 637 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 7: is just anything but fucking clay. This gag order is 638 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 7: public statements. It's not even criticism, it's not name calling, 639 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,839 Speaker 7: it's not threat based. She is banning him for making 640 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 7: public statements about Jack Smith and his team, but also, 641 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 7: as I said, what she called reasonably foreseeable witnesses. So 642 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 7: take this as an example. You've got former Attorney General 643 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 7: Bill bar doing nothing but this non stop tour, this 644 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 7: smear campaign against Donald Trump, making all these accusations about him. 645 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 7: Trump cannot respond because William Barr, the government says, could 646 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 7: be a government witness in the trial. Now, of course 647 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 7: that's absurd. Bill Barr is never going to take the 648 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 7: stand in this trial, and he would never subject himself 649 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 7: to that. He'll have all sorts of options, executive privilege, 650 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 7: possibly five a lot of options to stay off the stand. 651 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 7: The government is not going to call one of the 652 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 7: most hated attorney generals by Democrats to have them testify 653 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 7: before DC jury. But yet this is the sort of 654 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 7: double standard that they're setting up. Bill Barr can say 655 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 7: whatever he wants and Donald Trump can't respond. So to 656 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 7: your point, even if he said something to contradict Bill 657 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 7: Barr and the accusations that he's making on Fox News 658 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 7: or in these speeches that he's given, then you just 659 00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 7: make a statement. And then what is she going to do? 660 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 7: She will help expose the folly, the absurdity, the unconstitutional 661 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 7: nature of her gag order. So I would certainly encourage it. 662 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: Julie, what do you think I mean? 663 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 5: Because you've been following this so closely, and you've been 664 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 5: in the courtrooms, and this has been something that you've 665 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 5: you've been on in a way that you know, very 666 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 5: few others of any others have been so closely attuned to. 667 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 1: What do you think. 668 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 3: Jack Smith, in the in the DC trial presided her 669 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 3: by Chuckkin, what is the end state that he is 670 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 3: really going for. Is it just a conviction? And then 671 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 3: you know he doesn't really think beyond what happens there, 672 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 3: or you know, look like what does he think he 673 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 3: can get out of all of this? 674 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 7: I mean, I think he just wants quick convictions. I 675 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 7: am still not one hundred percent satisfied that he's not 676 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 7: going to bring superseding indictment. I know you guys and 677 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,520 Speaker 7: I have talked about this, but. 678 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 3: But Julie, I mean in terms of punishment, like, is 679 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 3: it just to get the conviction, and then even if 680 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,959 Speaker 3: there's no punishment, he doesn't really care because it's about 681 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 3: branding Trump a felon? Or do you think that the 682 00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 3: Special Council actually wants to try to incarcerate him? 683 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,400 Speaker 7: No, I think Jack Smith absolutely wants to incarcerate him. 684 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 7: Let's talk quickly about the timeline. The trial is supposed 685 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 7: to start March forth. They said this trial to be 686 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 7: four to six weeks. That puts us towards the middle 687 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 7: perhaps end of April. He will be quickly convicted by 688 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 7: a DC jury on these four really vague counts, including 689 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 7: obstruction of an official proceeding. After a defendant is convicted 690 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 7: it's two to three months before they're sentenced, so then 691 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 7: you bring the sentencing towards what the end of June 692 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 7: early July. Trump a defendant cannot appeal until he is sentenced, 693 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,800 Speaker 7: so during that timeline he can't really even appeal anything. 694 00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 7: Now there might be some special considerations for him, but 695 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 7: typically you cannot appeal until you're sentenced, so he wouldn't 696 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 7: even be able to mitigate any of this legal disaster 697 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 7: until the summertime. But absolutely they want Trump behind bars, 698 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 7: and so does Tanya Chutkin. She suggested it once in 699 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 7: court to a January sixth defendant that making a comment 700 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 7: that Trump is still a free man and not behind bars. 701 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,799 Speaker 7: So this is a collaborative effort, and you know, I 702 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 7: know people don't want to think that this is really happening, 703 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 7: but this is why her trial is taking her criminal 704 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 7: trial is taking place first, is because this will be 705 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 7: the quickest conviction, a quicker sentencing to try to figure 706 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 7: out how to get him in jail before the election day. 707 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 2: Julie, you have covered January sixth, unlike almost everybody in 708 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 2: terms of the political prosecutions that have fallen it, but 709 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 2: followed it, what did you think of the Jabal Bowman 710 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,520 Speaker 2: when they finally come out with the video of him 711 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 2: removing the signs his excuse that he was just trying 712 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 2: to open a door, that's clearly not true. If Jamal 713 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 2: Bowman were a Republican based on what you saw for 714 00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 2: January sixth, what would have happened to him him compared 715 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 2: to being a Democrat. 716 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 7: I mean, he very well he would have been charged 717 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 7: with this fifteen twelve C two obstruction of an official proceeding, 718 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,719 Speaker 7: which is the very vaguest post and run law that 719 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 7: more than three hundred defence including Trump, has been charged 720 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 7: with via this DOJ, and it's a very vague law. 721 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 7: All it says is anyone who attempts to or does 722 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 7: obstruct an official proceeding is guilty of this felony count 723 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 7: punishable by up to twenty years in prison. So he 724 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 7: certainly it was clear in that video that he was 725 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 7: trying to set off some alarm, whether it was the 726 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 7: door alarms when that didn't work in the fire alarms, 727 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 7: he also so he should have been charged with obstruction 728 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,759 Speaker 7: of an official proceeding. Then he should have been charged 729 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 7: with interfering with law enforcement, because as the Affidavid and 730 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 7: other witnesses said he was near Capitol police as they 731 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 7: were trying to evacuate the building. He never went to 732 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 7: them and said he By the way, I'm the one 733 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 7: who pulled this fire alarm. Also obstruction of an investigation, 734 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 7: obstructing Congress. He should have been slept with numerous offenses, 735 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 7: not a local misdemeanor. He wasn't even charged with a 736 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,080 Speaker 7: federal misdemeanor. He charged with a local misdemeanor. Flap on 737 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 7: the wrist. He'll be able to do it again. And 738 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 7: you know, I just heard from so many J sixers 739 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 7: after that whole incident. They are just infuriated because the 740 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 7: double standard. It's almost like they shove it in their 741 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 7: face because they know that there's nothing that can be done. 742 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 7: The DOJ. Matthew Graves to DCU as attorney won't be 743 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 7: investigating Jamal Bowman. I asked them they wouldn't confirm or 744 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,439 Speaker 7: deny any investigation. They won't. This will be swept under 745 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 7: the rug and just added to the long long list 746 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 7: of double standard of justice for Democrats versus Republicans. 747 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,200 Speaker 3: Declassified on substack is where you can follow Julie Kelly's work. 748 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 3: Julie has always appreciate you being here. 749 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 7: Thanks guys.

Their official story, mister Clay Travis, is that 822 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 3: this is because of the actors' guild strike, but it 823 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 3: has already come out that there are major reshoots that 824 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 3: will be scheduled, and it is believe that they're going 825 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 3: to remove the very diverse seven. I think they're not 826 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 3: dwarves anymore. They're just like seven people who maybe yeah, 827 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 3: who are like not dwarves, but just seven dudes hanging 828 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 3: out or you know, people probably non binary. I don't 829 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,439 Speaker 3: know they them. I'm not really sure. I don't really 830 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,400 Speaker 3: know because it's crazy, but they're replacing it and it 831 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,920 Speaker 3: looks like a they've made a or rather they're concerned. 832 00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 3: They've spent already.
