55
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm in South Beach, Miami. And believe it or not,

56
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: everybody seems to think this is unusual. But I never

57
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: spent any significant amount of time in South Beach, Miami.

58
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: And I will say, now, my trip is going well.

59
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: But when I showed up at the on a Saturday

60
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: after flying well, let let me let me back it up,

61
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: because I really had some introspective feelings about vacations, what

62
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: they are, what they mean, and all that. So we

63
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: did the Big Three in Detroit, right, yeah, uh, it

64
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: went great. It was fantastic. I said to the lady

65
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: that books to travel, I want to be on the

66
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: first fucking thing smoking out of Detroit to Miami. My mistake,

67
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: that was my choice. So I got on a six

68
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: thirty am flight, so I had to wake up and

69
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: leave the hotel at four thirty. And as I mentioned

70
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: on the Last Night and Rapports Stereo podcast, I was

71
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: staying at the MGM Grand Casino in Detroit, so I

72
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: I got barely any sleep. Me and my wife, we

73
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: walk out of the hotel, we walk out of the elevator,

74
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: and we walk essentially into a casino. Now four thirty

75
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: in the morning on a on a Saturday morning, essentially

76
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: four thirty Saturday morning. That's like on in popping if

77
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,279

78
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: nothing like you're there like you like, I heard some

79
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: woman saying she had this is exact quote my wife

80
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,120

Speaker 1: I want to have a baked potato with some beans

83
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: on it. She was like slurring her words and walking

84
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 1: back into the casino. That was That was the quote.

85
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,520

00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: I got no sleep. I get to the airport at five.

90
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: You know, the people at the at the airport, you know,

91
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm all excited about going on my vacation. They're like

92
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: busting their asses to make money to actually afford to

93
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: go on their next vacation. It's a sick fucking cycle,

94
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,000

98
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: their kids. I'm known for being a kid's person. I

99
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: love kids, especially a little babies. But but I'm ready

00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: to vacation. I don't want to hear your fucking kid

00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: in the morning. I want to get to Miami, you

105
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean. The plane announcements, they're loud, they're

106
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: long winded, they're redundant. I just want to get on

107
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: that fucking beach right. I want the sand on my feet.

108
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: I want to strap on my banana hammock and and

109
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: get the party started. It doesn't work that way because

110
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: because I worked my ass off to to get my

111
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: vacation right, and everybody else is working their grass off

112
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: while I am. Essentially I've checked out to go on

113
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: my vacation, to go on their vacation, you know what

114
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean. It's like we're all just trying to do

115
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: the same thing. It's just there's just different levels and

116
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: different vacations and different things you can afford. But essentially

117
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: everybody's trying to do the same thing. Everybody trying to

118
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: get on that beach with that banana hammock on. Whether

119
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: it's South Beach, whether it's fucking Puerto Rico, whether you're

120
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: going to India, Italy, everybody just wants to have that

121
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: time off to get that fucking banana amic on and

122
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: chill the funk out. I don't want to hear your

123
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: fucking kids crying. I don't want to hear the squawking

124
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: from the from the pilot, you know, it comes on

125
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: so so loud. So I finally get to the hotel

126
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: at ten thirty in the morning. It's ten thirty in

127
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: the morning in South Beach, Miami. Now I've never been

128
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: down here, so I didn't realize that ten thirty in

129
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: the morning on South Beach. And what I guess, there's

130
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: like a party down there, like a thing called Swim Week.

131
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: So everybody's down in South Beach to go nuts, to

132
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: go crazy, to party. And South Beach is essentially like

133
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: staying in Hollywood Boulevard is staying in Beverly Hills or

134
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: staying in Midtown. But on the beach, it's like, you know,

135
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: the tourist attraction. It's like it's like tourists and and

136
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: there's women walking around with fake cans all over the place.

137
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: The hotels a fucking zoo. I get to the hotel

138
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: and I knew I was gonna have an early check,

139
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: and they go, oh, well, Mr rap where your room

140
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: won't be open until three. I go, well, listen, motherfucker, listen,

141
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: I just left Detroit. You know what I mean. I'm

142
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: I'm I want to well you know, well, well, well

143
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, you go sit down, you have some food,

144
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: go sit down. Alright, fine, it'll be three. I thought

145
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: it would be twelve. Maybe we'll get lucky. It'll be

146
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: like two to one o'clock. I got two humongous bags

147
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: and me I got black sweatpants. And they take my

148
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: bags and I'm pointing out the fact that I have

149
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: black sweats put pants because later I want to come

150
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: back to that. So I sit there for about forty

151
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: five minutes when white wait. Watch Serena Williams lose in Wimbledon,

152
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: and uh, you know she she just didn't play well.

153
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: I think there's too much pressure. I might get to

154

Speaker 1: I'm staying at, but because they made any motherfucker wait

219
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,600

00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: that's what I did. And then so since then, I

304
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: straightened these funks out. Dinner on the house, they upgraded

305
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: the room, we got the fucking thing, the pool, you

306
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: got front row, la la la side. Straighten these fuckers out.

307
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: And I just want to tell people. Let me tell

308
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: you something. If you're paying for your vacation, whether you're

309
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: spaying at the nicest hotel, they're not nicee. You bust

310
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: your ass working when you get down there. You should

311
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: be treated good. Because when I finally did make it

312
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: to the beach and I did debut the Banana hammock.

313
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: All the kids at the at the beach, the cabana boys,

314
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: all the kids, first of all, all immigrants. Now one

315
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: of them was English. There was an Irish kid. There

316
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: was a kid from Scotland. There was this kid from Haiti,

317
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: there was another kid from the Bahamas. Young kids busting

318
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: their ass, digging holes to put up the umbrellas, serving

319
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: people all day. But I mean literally, I mean fucking

320
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: hard ass work, young kids. And normally I'm like, you know,

321
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: when you're in a hotel, especially like in place like

322
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: Vegas or Detroit, everybody wants their palms greased for nothing, right,

323
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: They all want to be tipped. These fucking kids twenty,

324
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm asking how how old? Twenty? When did you come here? Oh,

325
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: it's my summer job. Sweat the fucking kids, sweat sweat

Speaker 1: You take this, I'm grease and palms left and fucking right.

328
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,119

00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: is like like a head nod and thank you. I'm

00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: you're right, you're right in that, but you know, you know,

338
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: when you go on a vacation, uh, it's called the

339
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: hotel's hospitality. It's supposed to be uh at the top,

00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: flip like anybody else can, but my general thing is peace,

348

00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: want to send a message to Serena because I wanted

393
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: to win, because afterwards she lost with grace dignity. But

394
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: I want to tell her this because she said, I'm

395
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: playing for all the moms and playing for all the

396
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: stay at home moms, and I want to say this,

397
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: that's good for this match. You made it to the finals.

398
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: Now funk all them ladies, because you can't. That's too

399
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: much to take on, Serena. You can't take on the

400
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: responsibility of playing for all the moms in the world,

401
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: like you have to for yourself, play for your daughter,

402
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: play for your husband. But at the end of the day,

403
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: it's you verse the other woman. You have to play

404
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: to kick that bitch's ass. Like people think of you

405
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: as a superhero and people think of you as a queen.

406
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: But the reality of it is is you're just out

407
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: there like your ego wants to kick the other bitch.

408
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: He says, you can't play for the millions and millions

409
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: of other women out there, Serena, so shut that ship

410
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: down and reminded me of the Rocky three moment when

411
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: Adrian confronted Rocky on the beach after he lost another

412
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: race with Apollo, and Apollo said, it's over. It's over,

413
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: and then Rocky walked away, and then Adrian came over

414
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: him and she said, uh, he goes, I'm scared, and

415
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: she goes, that's okay, I'm scared too. It's okay to

416
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: be scared. And she says, you can't do it for Mickey.

417
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: You can't do it for me, You can't do it

418
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: for the kid. You gotta do it for yourself. And

419
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: that's what I want to tell Serena. You gotta play

420
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: for yourself. You can't play for all the stay at

421
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: home moms out there. That ship is not gonna work.

422
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: And and uh, the stand at home moms, they don't

423
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: give a shit about no tennis. They you know what

424
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like like like you're playing for them. You know,

425
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: people got lives, they don't care. Man, you know you

426
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: out there, you're you're the greatest female tennis player of

427
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: all time. I think that's enough. I think you've already

428
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: proven yourself. Yo, you just had a newborn. Just hold

429
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: your head with your kid and your your husband. You

430
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: don't gotta play for all the women in the world,

431
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: right just get out there and play for the same

432
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: reason he was playing before. Because you love it and

433
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: you love to kick ass. Because because I think that's

434
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: why she lost the pressure and the excitement and the

435
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: expectations too much, Like she was a little stiff and

436
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: the other girl was no pushover, and and to just

437
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: to be taken on that responsibility is too much. So

438
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: Serena Williams, if you're listening, go watch that scene with

439
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 1: Adrian Rocky on the beach and Rocky three and you'll

440
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Man, it's not like they

441
00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: asked you to do that exactly. Um It, what else

469
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna fire him, and then Lebrons will be like, yo,

00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: You need to let him in there. Push push, push, musharch.

479
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: He finally gets in, and then he decides to not

00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: show up for the NFL Hall of Fame induction. Yeah,

481
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:14,000

482
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: and and and how he got into a lot of

483
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 1: ship And this is like, Okay, you didn't let me

484
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: get in, um and on the first ballot. So basically,

485
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: f y'all. And I'm gonna celebrate at my college. I

486
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: think this dude is gonna regret that, because, Yo, this

487
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: is a one time thing. You could celebrate it there

488
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: with those people. This is your moment for you to,

489
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, give props to the people who catapulted you

490
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: into the NFL and help you along the way, So

491
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: I would do that at the Hall of Fame and

492
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: just let bygones be. You know, a lot of great

493
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: players didn't get in on the first ballot. You you

494
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: weren't the only one. I think Homeboy's gonna regret it.

495
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: But Yo, he's gonna do it at school. It's gonna

496
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: be dope over there too, So I just think he's

497
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: gonna regret it. Um, Pittsburgh Steelers still don't want to

498
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: give their best player Max money. Damn. I think he

499
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: should hold out. Yeah, Yo, football, You know how violent

500
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: that game is, right, and this guy's uh, he's healthy, right,

501
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: and he's a Levian Bell. He's healthy, he's kicking ass.

502
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: He's been kicking ass's. He's probably top two or three

503
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: running back in the league. Eighty five catches last year

504
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: out the backfield. So YO, give that dude the money, man,

505
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: because Yo, this guy could get hurt. You know, you

506
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: gotta they gotta go secure the bag first. And I

507
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: hope he gets it, but he probably won't be a

508
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: Steeler next year. He needs to hold out because if

509
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: anybody deserves Max money, this dude is a star and

510
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: he kills it every single year, and he should hold out.

511
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: He has the leverage right, so you know he's not hurt.

512
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: His his his uh present resume is top notch. So

513
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: the leverages in your court say, fun these dudes, I'm

514
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: not because you may get hurt and then that's it.

515
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all they want to do to not

516
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: pay your ass. So why risk it? What else is

00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: there in the middle of the of the little township,

564
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: you fucking lunatics. Oh, in Miami Beach. And I want

565
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: to say this, since being in Miami Beach, listen, we

566
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: all know that, uh, the sick Funk of the Week

567
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: could be called the Miami Beach Award of the Week

568
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: because every single week something happens in Florida. But after

569
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: spending close to three days in Florida and and being

570
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: here during the heat, I have to say, gee, I

571
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: have compassion for these people down here, and I could

572
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: see why if your mind isn't right and you're not focused,

573
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: how they heat can make you go back ship nuts

574
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: if you're out here and you ain't right, and you

575
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: you may be funk with a little bit of that

576
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 1: book of sugar, or you funk with a little bit

577
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: of that bath sold or whatever you do, or or

578
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: or something a little bit too jumpy in your drink.

579
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: And that heat, because the heat down here is it's

580
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: it's real. Yeah, of course I waited at a stoplight

581
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: for three minutes because you can tell that this is

582
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: not a walking city like the majority. Like the stoplight

583
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: was the longest stoplight ever. I actually timed it on

584
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: my my my cell phone because I was like, am

585
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: I tripping? Or am I just hot? But but there's

586
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: no one else walking around. Everybody else is driving there

587
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: on bikes or on motorcycles out here. But I have

588
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: to say I have more compassion. So when we go

589
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: in in Pensacola, Florida, and we go into you know, Sarasota, Florida,

590
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: this happened. That happens or Miami Beach. I now understand

591
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: how and why these people go totally nuts down here, right.

592
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: That humidity is a mother. Man in Miami Beach, a

593
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 1: resident at a condo was angry after learning he was

594
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 1: about to be evicted, and he threatened to plan down

595
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: the building. And he said, I am going to burn

596
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: that fucking building down with all the fucking Jews. Okay, okay,

597
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: So they arrested this fuck uh and that's some sort

598
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: of hate crime and it's a threat. He's gonna be

599
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: locked up. I don't know what he was on. Okay. Now,

600
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm not making any excuses for these lunatics. I'm just

601
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: telling you that that happened not too far away from

602
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: where I'm staying down here. Oh, he didn't just want

603
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: to burn the building down, and he wasn't just mad

604
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 1: that he was being evicted. He he wanted to kill

605
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: all the fucking Jews. That's people are sick. Man, take

606
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: him away. That's what you do. Man in Denver. Now,

607
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: if if you were gonna rob, like if you're gonna

608
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: do a burglary, like like a beanie a breaking an injury,

609
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to be prepared. Yeah, like if you

610
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do that, you'd want to be prepared, right,

611
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: And one of the things that would go without thought

612
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: to being prepared to do a robbery is having clothes on.

613
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: Oh this motherfucker's neck And Denver, a dude was running

614
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: through the housing complex was caught ransacking a nineties seven

615
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: year old man's home but ass naked. Mm hmmm that's

616
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: that OUI, Yes, that's Kate. That's k too. Because if

617
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna do a robbery and you you you you

618
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: get all your guns and you get your ship, and

619
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: then you don't have clothes on, that's that's indicative of

620
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: a substance. K too has to be has to be absolutely.

621
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: Oh no, I gotta tell you this. Remember that teacher

622
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: who was sucking around with the retarded kid, Yes, Milford, Connecticut,

623
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: Laura Ramos. She she got uh, she resigned from from

624
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: the school high school in Bridgeport, and you know, protective custody.

625
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: The cops caught her in the car with the same

626
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: special led kid in the back seat. So she went

627
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: and picked him out of the yellow bus and said, Yo,

628
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: we're gonna be together. This this is that the cat

629
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: with the helmet. She didn't she didn't want to let

630
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: it go. No, so she got him and she's gonna

631
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: try to be with him. Damn. Imagine her husband. Uh yeah,

632
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: she left her husband for this guy. Yeah. Um. In

633
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, finally a man has been accused it

634
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:54,080

00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: know how you get high profile incidents for exposing yourself. Um,

638
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: but they caught him because they noticed the tattoo that

639
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: they could keep seeing somewhere in his abdomen every time

640
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: he would expose himself to people. And that's how they

Speaker 1: you're here today, Russia, Putin, Trees, and Trader. I don't

673
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: even really need to queue you up, but I'll throw

674
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: this first question at you before we get into specifics,

675
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: and feel free to dance around all the uproar that

676
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: happened since the summit meeting between Trump and and Putin

677
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: and all the everyone freaking out, from McCain to every

678
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: day Joe's like myself, to Twitter, to a bunch of

679
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: Republican senators and congress people even speaking out, obviously McCain

680
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: being the loudest one. Is it valid? Is this snowflake talk?

681
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: Just start? Because there's so much, there's so much, Like everybody,

682
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: there's so many opinions on it. What is your opinion?

683
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: Because you're the only opinion understand it. This is how

684
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: I would understand that kind of in political terms. I

685
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 1: think that this is the equivalent on the geopolitical stage

686
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: of his Charlottesville moment a year ago, when he said

687
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: there were good people on both sides. It was a

688
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: moral equivalency with a bunch of white nationalists, fascist nazi

689
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: fox okay, with people who were protesting racism, and to

690
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,240
Speaker 1: say there are fine people on both sides. The crime

691
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: there was basically sort of equating the two groups. And

692
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: he took a day or so to finally into the

693
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: fully like walked it back and made it extremely clear.

694
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: Now in this particular case, it's not like the same thing.

695
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: You know, that was like a kind of a moment

696
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: of trauma, where like we're dealing everybody's watching this video

697
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: and everything. This is something that has to do with

698
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: his overall trip to Europe at a moment. Keep in

699
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: mind that Russia has gotten worse and worse and worse

700
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: under who's basically now the president slash dictator for life,

701
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: who has invaded two of his neighbors, who has used

702
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: a chemical agent to go after for the second time

703
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: in the United Kingdom. The first time he used he

704
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: tried to irradiate this person. He is off. He's ignoring

705
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: and violating all kinds of international rules, in addition to

706
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: hacking the Democrats and releasing their emails through wiki leaks

707
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: and other means. And we know that in incredible detail

708
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: because on Friday, right before he was gonna beet with Putin,

709
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 1: Bob Mueller released his latest indictment of a dozen Russian

710
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: GRU agents, and it was incredible how much detail he

711
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: named them, their rank, how much they paid, the fact

712
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: that use bitcoin, they use this program him, and it

713
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: was incredible that level of detail comes out. And then

714
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: when Trump has asked about it, not mind you that,

715
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: you know, same day he's asked about it like two

716
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: and a half, three days later, and he said, like,

717
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: when you say something about it, he wants into this

718
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: rant about why the d n C didn't originally give

719
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: the FBI the server, and can't bring himself to just

720
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: acknowledge that his own government has said this about the

721
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: person he just met with. Meanwhile, he's saying all these

722
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: things about how he wants to get along, and he

723
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: thinks that Putin's offer to allow Lowner to send these

724
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: guys like to to Russia and interview these people or

725
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: whatever under authority, which is obviously a joke, is like

726
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: a great offer, and he just goes on and on

727
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: this way, and you're scratching your head. Now. The good

728
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: news is is that so far the US government as

729
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: a whole has actually held the line for the first

730
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: year and a half against Russia. Something I write about

731
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: I care a lot about. The bad news is is

732
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: that I fear that Trump has given Putin the idea

733
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 1: that the American president, the leader of the free world,

734
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 1: doesn't give a ship if he decides to continue to

735
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: up his aggression in Europe to more vulnerable states. And

736
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,399
Speaker 1: if Trump, and if by the way, if Putin wanted

737
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: to destroy NATO, the way he would do it, he

738
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: would use do something called a hybrid attack, where he

739
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: was going to invade using people with men without uniforms

740
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: in a way that would have the veneer of plausible deniability,

741
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 1: but we all would know what was Russia, and it

742
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: would create a crisis because the three Baltic States are

743
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: members of NATO, and that would require for the alliance

744
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: to mean anything, for the rest of the countries and

745
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: not including America, to come to the defense and the

746
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: aid of those Baltic states. So if he gets any

747
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: kind of impression that Trump would somehow gum that up

748
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: or not recognize it as an attack or not or

749
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: do what he could to foil them, then he would

750
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: have That's how you would really destroy NATO. And what

751
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm afraid is not that Trump told him he would

752
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: do that, and that we should be very careful for

753
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: the for the on the other side of this to

754
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: get too far caught up with the rhetoric. Treason is

755
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: defined specifically in the Constitution. We should wait for what

756
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 1: Mueller is gonna say. He's so far hasn't done indictments

757
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: about this element of the collusion. I'm not saying it's

758
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,400
Speaker 1: keeping up and I'm just saying, like, just be careful

759
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: on how far you go. But the fact that Trump

760
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: would say in the front of everybody after he land

761
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: based the Chancellor of Germany and embarrasses the Prime Minister

762
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: of the United Kingdom and has and and it's like

763
00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: a wrecking ball when he's going the other parts of

764
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: the European draw it door to then have this kind

765
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: of attitude with Putin and saying like, oh, well, do

766
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 1: you hear that He's like gonna let the FBI come

767
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 1: to Russia and interview these guys. I mean that kind

768
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: of thing. It's just does that give Putin the idea

769
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: that hey, I can attack Estonian and get away with that.

770
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: And if he did that, that would probably that would

771
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: be a crisis for NATO. I would hope that NATO

772
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: would repel him and the Russians, but that's what we're

773
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: up against. Yeah, I mean, I mean, you said a lot.

774
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 1: You know. The thing that the thing that stuck out

775
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: to me is how you know Trump talks his ship.

776
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 1: He's very aggressive. You know, he's wheeling and dealing Hill,

777
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: you're fired, get off the field, ue, son of the bitch,

778
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: lock her up, crooked Hillary, this that you know. And

779
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: then sitting there with Putin, he's like a choir boy.

780
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: He fall fell right in the place. Um he took

781
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: credit on. You know. The relationship was so bad. But

782
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: after this this two hour meeting that was only supposed

783
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: to be an hour and a half, I fixed it.

784
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: That was the thing that was different to me about

785
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: his his attitude. He was reading all. He was very

786
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: careful about what he said. He was he was he

787
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: was in some way he was he was deferential. It

788
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: was obvious that he approached the meeting the way he

789
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: would and like he was trying to do a real

790
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: estate deal that he needs to establish a personal report

791
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: with the leader and then you can see if there

792
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: are areas of mutual cooperation to get along. And that

793
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: alone by the way, he does not make him a traitor.

794
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: It makes him actually very similar. George W. Bush and

795
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, when beginning of their presidencies, sought a kind

796
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: of reset and to feel out a relationship with Putin.

797
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: The difference is that Trump and we all have the

798
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: benefit of seeing how that failed has failed really since

799
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: Putin came into power. Clinton too, at the very end,

800
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: tried to sort of, you know, set things on the

801
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: right path with him, and every case Putin said, I

802
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: don't want to be your friend, and he's gotten worse

803
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: and worse and worse. So now we have to accept it.

804
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to have a world where we're not

805
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: going to get along. So it's like for the president

806
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: to like act like none of that ever happened. Um,

807
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: it just sets us back, and I hope it. I

808
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: feel it gives You want Putin to be worried about

809
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: line stepping, Does that makes sense? You run in to

810
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: be like, oh shit, if I do this, then Trump's

811
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: gonna go off on me. Or if I do this

812
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have a war on my Eastern you

813
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: know that kind of thing. But like he the what

814
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm worried about is that Trump just sun of saying, Hey,

815
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: why don't we get along? Now? This is very important.

816
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean I know that. I know because I'm interactive

817
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: with some of the I AM Rapp Report listeners that

818
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: you've got some people who listen to you who like

819
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: Trump and some people who are real against Trump. And

820
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: even in the podcast, Gerald is a little bit more

821
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 1: pro Trump than you are. So I'm saying this to

822
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: the people who are on the anti Trump side, just

823
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: be careful calling him a traitor or saying he's a

824
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: Russian agent, or that this was a performance review, because

825
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: this could have happened because Trump is such an egomaniac

826
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: that he's doing it because everyone's telling him not to

827
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: do it. That's just in my view as plausible. And

828
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 1: if I if this really was a Russian intelligence operation,

829
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: the last thing I would do with have it be

830
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: the way that Trump's doing it. I wouldn't call attention

831
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: to that. I would say the things. It's very easy

832
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: to say something that sounds tough and then have a

833
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: have a policy that's gonna let like Trump the Putin

834
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: get away with it or something like that. Now we

835
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 1: have the opposite in some ways, which is that Trump

836
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 1: has done a series of things like closing conflicts, selling

837
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, weaponry to the Ukrainians who are in a

838
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: war with Russia right now. Are on the substance side

839
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 1: bad for Russia, but on the you know, just how

840
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 1: how he speaks and how he appears in public really

841
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: good for Russia. So I would just be careful, like

842
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: before you sort of lead to the thing of calling

843
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 1: him a Russian agent, because let me tell you something,

844
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: the right wing will do that when there's a democratic president,

845
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: and that's not a good place for our politics. I agree,

846
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, I agree, I agree with Well. I mean,

847
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: I feel like all gloves are off, and I feel

848
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:32,240
Speaker 1: like and I also feel like going forward no matter

849
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 1: who is the Democratic if and when there is another

850
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: Democratic uh president, obviously it will happen at some point

851
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: this election, next election. Um, you know they're gonna be going.

852
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Listen, this ship is so crazy,

853
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: and I honestly listen, Eli, I'm in Miami Beach. I

854
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 1: made a vow to to try to stay away from

855
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: politics the entire week, and and I didn't know. I

856
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: didn't realize that when I made this, this this promise,

857
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: that this was gonna happen. All I wanted to do

858
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: is spend a few days minded my business on the

859
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 1: beach of my bananahammock. That's all I was looking forward

860
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 1: to doing. And then this, this this summit happened. So

861
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: so what happens now, Like what happens when he gets back?

862
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: Obviously you're not afforded teller in your opinion, like when

863
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,919
Speaker 1: he gets back, when he gets back to the United States,

864
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 1: Like when will like the the next thing happen or

865
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: or will this stick around? Like like will there be

866
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: any ramifications of this this meeting or will it just

867
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 1: be a bunch of Twitter comments? You know Fox News

868
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: even I saw some people in Fox News, you know,

869
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 1: against what happened with Trump and speaking out against Trump.

870
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: Is there any ramifications? Could there be any ramifications or

871
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 1: it's just just gonna be another thing where people get

872
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: upset and then we move on in a week. I

873
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be people get upset and move on

874
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: until the mid term elections, and then I think it'll

875
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: be a different political environment after that. Um And what

876
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: do you you're saying, Like, I just I just feel like,

877
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: you know, like you've you've gone in for a year

878
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: and a half in um and also like this is bad,

879
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: but it's not like he had some agreement where he

880
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: recognized the U. S Government was recognizing the Russia like

881
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: now owned Crimea, which is the part of the Ukraineian next,

882
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: Like that's not that I'm so so so it's just

883
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: like it's a really bad signal. I think what could

884
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: very well happen is that Russia I don't want I'm

885
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: not pretty in the future. But my concern, what I've

886
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: heard from analysts like Intel people, is that Russia starts

887
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: a war in August, and then we have to ask ourselves,

888
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: did did Trump inadvertently in some ways give poo the

889
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: idea that he could do that. So that's what I'm

890
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: super worried about on that's the you know, but in

891
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: terms of our own domestic politics at this point, because

892
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: you gotta wait till the mid term to see what

893
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: Republicans are gonna end up doing and whether or not

894
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: and and there's a very good chance that Democrats will

895
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,799
Speaker 1: take control of the House and at that point they

896
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: can impeach. It's the Senate that would have to convict,

897
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: So he could be impeached and then not be convicted

898
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: much like Clinton in like Um the other day also

899
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: they were saying that Um Kim John un, uh, he

900
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: backed out of what he said and all that. Where

901
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 1: are we at with North Korea since the meeting? Because

902
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: after the meeting with Kim John un and Trump, it

903
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 1: all looked like hunky dorry and Trump was the hero,

904
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: and then it seems like there was something some sort

905
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: of distance that I'm unaware of where we at today

906
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: since that meeting. It's there's there's a lot of bad

907
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: stuff in terms of defining exactly what you mean by

908
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: the nuclearization, And as you know, I was undererstent against

909
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: it because I don't think we should confer any recognition

910
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: at all to Um Kim Jong un. We've talked about that.

911
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: But until he starts testing missiles or testing or doing

912
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: nuclear explosions or something like that, then you know, the

913
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: sort of the North Korea is kind of less of

914
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: a crisis. Does that makes sense? So he's keeping it

915
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 1: in like, but I still think we paid too high

916
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: a price. But you know that will kind of keep

917
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: its wheel spinning for there for a while. There'll be

918
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: a lot of negotiations and thoughts. Um, if you had

919
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: to bet your house bet your savings. Yeah, based on

920
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 1: everything you know and that you study and that you

921
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,719
Speaker 1: work upon it. You do this ship like Eli Lake

922
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: does this ship for new listeners to the Iron Wrap

923
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: or stereo podcast. This isn't like my cousin. This isn't

924
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: like you know, my guy who likes to talk politics

925
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: down at the basketball court. This is what you do.

926
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: You you don't know everything, and you obviously have opinions summer.

927
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: Some people can agree with them, some people can't agree

928
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: with them the whole Muler Uh, the investigation based on

929
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: everything you know. How do you think that will play

930
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: out in broad terms? I mean, there were the last

931
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 1: indictment from Muller and then the one that came out

932
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: today is getting closer to implicating American citizens who who

933
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: worked or collaborated with Russians. Now, what we don't know

934
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 1: is whether they knowingly did anything, and so far we

935
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: have to find out whether this includes people who were

936
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: in close to Trump um. But it seems like we're

937
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: going in that direction. And if that happens, then, as

938
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,240
Speaker 1: I said, a lot, it's going to depend on the

939
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,319
Speaker 1: election in November. The Democrats control the House, that will

940
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: be in a position if they want you to impeach.

941
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not that's not an unpopular view. I

942
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: think even though what we're hearing now from Nancy Pelosi,

943
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: Chuck Rumor and Democratic leaders is that it would be

944
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: a disaster to try to impeach Trump, and they may

945
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: decide it would be a very bad precedent to do so,

946
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: and that they'll weaken him to the point where they'll

947
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,439
Speaker 1: be able to win in But I do think that

948
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: Moeller seems to be going there. What I don't think

949
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: is that I've my sense of it, And again I'm

950
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: keeping an open mind to whatever he comes up with,

951
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: But I don't think that Trump was like knowingly working

952
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: with Russia against Hillary Clinton. And I don't think that

953
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: Trump would really be capable of that level of uh

954
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: international skullduggery because he is so undisciplined. He says whatever

955
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: is in his mind, he tweets whatever he has ad

956
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 1: um and I don't necessarily think that. I do think

957
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,239
Speaker 1: that some of its strategic, but I don't think he'd

958
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: be capable of keeping that level of the secret. So

959
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: that's just my hunch. And if I was, again, if

960
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: I was a Russian like spy master, the operation that

961
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: I would want is I would want somebody who sounded

962
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: very tough on Russia and then did what I wanted

963
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 1: behind the scenes so that no one would suspect them.

964
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,359
Speaker 1: All Right, Eli, this is good. It's uh, it's it's

965
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: it's bare bones basic. Is there anything else you want

966
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: to add to this? This Russia submit? I would I

967
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: would just say, at some point in the future, I

968
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 1: would love to have another conversation with Moody. See where

969
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: he's out on the whole Trump thing. Oh well, I

970
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: mean you heard it last time. He said he supports

971
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 1: He said he supports Donald Trump. He said it in

972
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: play in terms. It didn't go over good. Uh and

973
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,320
Speaker 1: and uh, I mean that's fine. People are allowed to

974
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: support it. They want to support I think the thing

975
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 1: why people got so frustrated with Moody is that he

976
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: was talking all that ship and then he's flipped the

977
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 1: script and it comes off sort of a little bit

978
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: uninformed and um, without any compassion. You can you know,

979
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: you could support it. I mean a lot of people

980
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: the trend isn't to go from I can't stand Trump too.

981
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 1: I funk with Trump. Now. A lot of people fucked

982
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: with Trump and then be like I can't do this anymore.

983
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: Whereas Moody was the sort of outlier in that is

984
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: outlier the right word there. Yeah, No, I seem to

985
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: saying most people started sucking with him and then walk away. Yeah,

986
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 1: most people have been like this is too funny. From

987
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 1: just listening to the podcast is that he likes Trump

988
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: on immigration. He thinks the culture is getting too politically correct,

989
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 1: and he likes that Trump sort of tells it like

990
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,439
Speaker 1: it is. And um, but I wonder if like he's

991
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: down with all of it, you know what I mean.

992
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he knows, but but we'll we'll pick

993
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: that up in the next podcast. But I'm cure. I'm curious. Anyway,
