1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Second hour play in buck kicks off now and Congressman 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan joins us to talk about everything going on. 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 2: Congressman, always appreciate you making the time. 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 3: You bet Bucket to be with you. 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 2: Can we start? You know what? I want to have 6 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 2: you react to this? Okay? Over at CNBC, this is 7 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: cut eight. 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: They are freaking out right now, and I wanted to 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: let you tell everybody how you're feeling about this. 10 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 2: But let's play cut eight. 11 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: This is the situation of the terriff assessment over there playing. 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 4: The market reaction after hours. I've never seen anything like it. This, 13 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 4: I think fair to say is worse than the worst 14 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 4: case scenario of the tariffs that many in the market 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 4: expected the President to impose. And there's some question of 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 4: how the administration calculated the percentages that they're responding to 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 4: in each of these cases. Are they adding in value 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 4: added taxes? He talked about non tariff barriers as well, 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 4: So I think while many were hoping that this would 20 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 4: eliminate uncertainty, there's going to be more uncertainty in the market, worse. 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: Than the worst case scenario. Jim, what do you make 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: of it? 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: Everyone needs to relax and you know the thing I 24 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: keep coming up with all these these foreign countries saying 25 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 3: they're going to do this if TARA and talking about 26 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 3: how bad it is. The president Tump does this, If 27 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 3: tariffs are so bad, why don't they just get rid 28 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 3: of the tariffs they have on all our products? I mean, 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: it's it's that's pretty basic. And frankly, that's the president's argument. 30 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 3: Why don't you show us the respect we've shown you. 31 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 5: They won't do that. 32 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: He's saying, Okay, we're tired of taking it on the chin, 33 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: We're tired of manufacturing leaving this country. I mean, my 34 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: dad was a union worker for General Motors in Dayton, Ohio. 35 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: There used to be several plants GM plants in Dayton. 36 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: Now there's not, and and and the auto worker who 37 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: stood up yesterday with the I thought the President's of 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 3: March were great. The auto worker who stood up, I 39 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 3: think spoke for so many middle middle class, working class families. 40 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: Enough of this, Let's try something different, let's tell them 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: to quit sticking it to us, and let's look out 42 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: for the interest of the American family, the American worker, 43 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 3: in the American economy. 44 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: So you have faith that this should play out and 45 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: that the president. I mean, how much of this, in 46 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: your mind do you think is just the ongoing negotiation 47 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: of it before we can even know what it is 48 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: that's going to be the final dispensation of where these 49 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: different tariff numbers are. 50 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 3: No. I think that's a good point. And we all 51 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 3: know that the President is is this great, is a 52 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 3: great negotiator. He's I think he believes in tariffs. He 53 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: certainly said that he used tariffs in the past. He 54 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: used it in his first term. I know he used 55 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: it on steel and it benefit and manufacturing in our 56 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 3: great state, particularly the Whirlpool facility in our one of 57 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: the many whirlpool facilities in our in our state. So 58 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: this shouldn't be a big surprise. You never had to 59 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 3: this degree. But like anything worth accomplishing, anything worth really achieving, 60 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: there's always some effort and some discipline and some toughness 61 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 3: involved with getting there. That's just the way life works. 62 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 3: I don't think this is any different. But I think 63 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: the American people see where the president wants to go. 64 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: Certainly working class people see where he wants to go. 65 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: They know what's happened in manufacturing, and I think there's 66 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: a trust level there with the President network. It'll be 67 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: maybe some difficult times here for a while, but I 68 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: think we get through it and we come out better 69 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 3: on the other side. And that's the whole point. 70 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: Someone else that caught my attention, Congressman, you are the 71 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and you can speak 72 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: to this internal FBI chat law yes, showing that the 73 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: FBI imposed a gag order about the New York Post 74 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: story on the Hunter Biden laptop the day it came out. 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: Oh my, give us these details. 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, we knew this from a deposition, 77 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: but this is the first time we've got the document. 78 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 3: So God bless the FBI. This is this is the 79 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: night and day difference between what we had before and 80 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: what we have under Cashptel and Pam Bondi the Justice Department. 81 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: But we had mister Brady Olso, one of the guys 82 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: mentioned in his chat that you can see it, but 83 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: he told us, he said, yeah, in a meeting that 84 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: these regular meetings that took place where the FBI would 85 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 3: go talk to big tech and they'll run up to 86 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: the twenty twenty presidential election, and they were prepping them 87 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: on all that there might be an information operation, it 88 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: might come from a foreign country. They were prepping them 89 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: on what they knew could happen, because they had the 90 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 3: laptop and they knew it was real. That one of 91 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: these meetings, the day that this comes up is October fourteenth. 92 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 3: It comes up and someone says is the laptop reel? 93 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 3: And the FBI confirms it. Someone spoke out of turn. 94 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 3: They quickly get together, get their story straight, and from 95 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: that point on they say no comment. And then they 96 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: even have in the chat. The one that stuck out 97 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 3: with me was where they said Twitter is treating this 98 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: story as disinformation. They treated as disinformation because you prepped 99 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 3: them for that and you knew it was real. This 100 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 3: just demonstrates what we knew all along that the FBI 101 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: wasn't being square with the American people. 102 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: Now, how confident are you in the ability for that 103 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: entity to be reformed? I know you have a lot 104 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: of faith in Director Patel and Deputy Director Bonjino, but 105 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: they're taking as it's an unwieldy and problematic operation. They're 106 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: taking over what are some of the things that you 107 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: think need to get done over there, not only to 108 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: clean house internally, but to help restore faith for the 109 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: American people in a federal la enforcement institution that we 110 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: need to function at the highest level and without partisan agenda. 111 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, already two things have happened. One, they're beginning to 112 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 3: move people out of the third of the FBI agents 113 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 3: we're in DC area. Well that's not where all the 114 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: crime takes place. I mean enough takes place in this area. 115 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 3: But so they're moving them out and focusing more on 116 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 3: traditional going after traditional bad guys versus this surveillance on 117 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 3: American citizens. So that's one huge step in the right 118 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 3: direction that Director Bettel and Dana put in into place. Second, 119 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 3: I just know what we've gotten in the in the 120 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: first few weeks that he's been running the FBI. We 121 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: said seven subpoenas over there five weeks ago. The response 122 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: the documents we're getting is, like I said, it's night 123 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 3: and day compared to what we got under Chris Ray, 124 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: what we got under Merrick Garland at the Justice Department. 125 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 3: So there's just two examples of where they're already changing 126 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: how that place operates, saying we're going to get the 127 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: truth and we're going to get the facts of the 128 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 3: American people, answer the questions that they have, and we're 129 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 3: going to put our agents on actually stopping you know, 130 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: the crime activity that that is that we traditionally associate 131 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: with the FBI, mafia, organized clan money, launching, all those things, 132 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 3: versus again buying on the American people. 133 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: Talking to Congress and Jim Jordan from Ohio, and one 134 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: thing that I think a congressman, that is interesting to 135 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: see how President Trump is staying on this and not 136 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: not moving, not moving the agenda very much from what 137 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: he said it would be the. 138 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: Freeze on funding to Maine. 139 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: Remember there was that little back and forth with the 140 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: governor of Maine and the President where she was she 141 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: was talking tough about you know, I'll see you in court, 142 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: and he was like, let's do it. 143 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: I love court, let's go to court. 144 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: And now the Trump administration is freeze funding to Maine 145 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: for letting trans athletes compete again and girls by you know, men, 146 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: biological man or teenagers competing against girls. It feels like 147 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: promise made, promise kept on this one. What do you 148 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: make of it? 149 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 6: Yeah? 150 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 3: No, this is this is why the American people appreciate 151 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: the President. I say this all the time. We make 152 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: the job too complicate. 153 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,559 Speaker 7: What to tell the voters? 154 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 3: You were going to do when you ran for it. 155 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: If they elect you do what you said. And this 156 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: is president he told it. It's not like you told us. 157 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: It wasn't going to be a doge ef. It's not 158 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: like you told us he wasn't going to run that. 159 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: It's not like you told us he wasn't for caraffs 160 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: and he was tired of being being taken advantage by 161 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: other countries. And it's not like he told us that. 162 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: You know, he thinks, like the vast majority of Americans 163 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: that you know, guys shouldn't be competing against girls in sports. 164 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: I mean, so he's doing what he said, and I 165 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: think so many Americans just appreciate that. And he says 166 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: this all the time. And we've talked about this buck. 167 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 3: But like we're the Party of common sense, it's common 168 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: sense to take to have a border. The left of 169 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: party are crazy. It's crazy not to have a border. 170 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: It's crazy to say boys to compete against girls in sports. 171 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: It's crazy to to to I mean, to take a 172 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: plane and a judge say, turned the plane around. Bring 173 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: the bad guys back here who were illegal part of 174 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: an organized terrorist organization, the most dangerous gang on the planet. 175 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: Turned that plane around and bring it back. That's crazy. 176 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 3: So the President is all for doing the common sense 177 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 3: things that he campaigned on, and one of them was 178 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: the issue with the governor made and he's sticking to it, 179 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: and God bless him for doing it. 180 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: Did you see this, this female fencer who took a 181 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: knee instead of competing against a male opponent. She was 182 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: disqualified for this, And I just think that one, it's 183 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: a brave thing to do for this young woman to 184 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: do it, but also it's the right thing to do. 185 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: People should not women should not subject themselves to this anymore. 186 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: There should be I think a campaign to opt I mean, 187 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: you were a college athlete, there should be a campaign 188 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: to opt out. 189 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, you know, And God blessed Riley Gaines 190 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: what she's done, the President's executive order that he signed 191 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: about five six weeks ago. But you need people who 192 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 3: are courageous like this, this young lady who's stood up. 193 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: I guess in this situation she knelt down and said no, 194 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: we're not going there. And and Riley Gaines, who started 195 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 3: this in others, everyone instinctively knows this is wrong, particularly 196 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: parent of young ladies who are competing in sports who 197 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: are working hard to it. We had two daughters, both 198 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 3: were athletes. I mean, that's it's just ridiculous and everyone 199 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: gets it. But if the left wants to defend it 200 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 3: from a political standpoint, I don't think it helps them. 201 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: This one more example of the crazy positions the left 202 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: now takes. 203 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: Do you think that? 204 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: And I'm just asking for your your sense of it, right, 205 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: I know that you can't really know, but I'm curious 206 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: what your perception is of it among Democrat House colleagues. 207 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: You know, when you see how they have to take, 208 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: what positions they take on this issue of the transgender 209 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: sports stuff. Is it more that they actually believe this 210 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: or more that they're just afraid of the crazies within 211 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: their party who think that this is the new civil 212 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: rights crusade. 213 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 3: It's the latter. It's you know, it's the old. 214 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 5: Uh. 215 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 3: Some politicians when they get asked a question, it's a 216 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 3: yeah for that next question please, that they just want 217 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 3: to move on. They just want to like, uh, kind 218 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 3: of ignore it. But I think it's more of the latter. Now, 219 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: there are some I mean the heart I always say, 220 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: not all Democrats are crazy, but the left that controls 221 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 3: their party is and that's where the energy is in 222 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: the party. It's it's the it's the radical left, and 223 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 3: they're they're driving this stuff. So I think many of 224 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 3: them just kind of put the head down and move on, 225 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: don't want to deal with it, and helps less leave 226 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 3: them alone. But there are some. There are some who 227 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: truly believe that you should just let it happen with 228 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 3: them like it. That's great. 229 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 2: It is. 230 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: It is crazy, is not, and that is the only 231 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: way to describe it. It is a it is a nonsane, 232 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: insane thing to believe. And and the fact that this 233 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: continues on is it's just I think the Democrat Party 234 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: has to carry this around and they're not gonna They're 235 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to win this issue because they're 236 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 1: wrong and because they're lying. Well, you know, usually now 237 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: we'd get to like clays out, today's playing golf, you know, 238 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: as one does. It is having a good time. So 239 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: usually we'd ask a sports question. I actually have a 240 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: nerd question for you, but you know how the budget 241 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: process and the money stuff works. You mentioned Doge, So sorry, 242 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: Usually now we'd have some fun, but instead I'm like, 243 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: let's let's take out the calculator. 244 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 3: Way, though, you should go with us next time we go. 245 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 3: You should go to the NWA wrestling with this next 246 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: It was. There was some boring matches early, but the 247 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 3: heavyweight match was so you got to come with us 248 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: next time. Oh, I would love to wet. You got 249 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: to come with us next time we go to that. 250 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 3: It's a fun time, you know. 251 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: My my primary school in New York actually wrote about 252 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: this on X used to require everybody in the winter 253 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: season for sports to do wrestling, and I thought it 254 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: was a great It. 255 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: Was great, No, I mean it, it was great. Like it was. 256 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: We all learned the basics and we had tournaments and 257 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: then Jim Classic. Of course, they got rid of it 258 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: about ten years after I graduated because people thought it 259 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: was too violent. You know, there was this whole oh 260 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: the parrots. Yeah, wrestling was too violent, you know. Anyway, 261 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: it was. It's kind of crazy. Okay, wait my NERD question. Yes, 262 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: I'd love to go to the wrestling NERD question. Though 263 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: important you mentioned Dough. I see all this stuff about 264 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the cuts. How much of this is Trump can cut 265 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: as executive chief, and how much of it is those 266 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: identifying where there should be cuts that you and your 267 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: colleagues in Congress are going to have to figure out 268 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: and the budgets of the money actually gets taken out again, it's. 269 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 5: More of the latter. 270 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 3: We're gonna have to do a recision package. 271 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 7: Now. 272 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: The way the recision package works is the White House 273 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 3: sends it to Capitol Hill, so it's different. Normally, all 274 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 3: spending and taxing bills obviously start in the Congress, specifically 275 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: in the House. Under the constitution, taxing and spending is 276 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 3: the House representatives, the body close to the people. But 277 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: this is something where you want to rescind money that's 278 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 3: already been appropriated. The White House sends it to Capitol 279 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 3: Hill and says, these things are ridiculous. Can you rescind this? 280 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: And the beauty of a recision package is you only 281 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 3: need fifty votes in the Senate. You don't need to 282 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 3: get to the supermajority of sixty. So we're waiting for 283 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: that package. We've been pushing and urging the White House 284 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 3: to get us that package. I would have loved to 285 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 3: have done this in steps, even like last week. It 286 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 3: had been nice to have a bill that simply said 287 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 3: no more money goes to NPR. You may have followed 288 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: this the lady's of course, by the CEO. She was terrible. 289 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 3: She said it was eighty seven to zero, eighty seven 290 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 3: Democrat editors at NPR in the DC area zero Republicans, 291 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 3: according to one of their journals who worked there twenty 292 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 3: five years, who was an award winning journalist. She did 293 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: that research and gave that data, and I asked her 294 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: a question. I said, are you guys unbiased? He goes, 295 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: we're unbiased. I said, to eighty seven to zero, It's 296 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 3: not forty four to forty three. It's eighty seven to zero. 297 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: But there's still I mean, it was ridiculous. So it'd 298 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: been nice to have a recision package on that. Just 299 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: let's just get rid of NPR, start there and then 300 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 3: just keep building. But I think the White House is 301 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: going to put it together in a bigger package. They 302 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 3: send it to us and then we. 303 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: Have a vote, and he sends someone that might might 304 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: be just roughly time wise. 305 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 3: I am hoping sooner round. I mean, we keep urging 306 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 3: the White House to do it. I know some of 307 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 3: my colleagues have talked to Russ Vote and ob so 308 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 3: we wanted as soon as possible. I don't know exactly 309 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 3: when that's in. But they tell they keep tell us 310 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 3: they're working on it, putting it together. 311 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: Conxon Jim Jordan, Oh wait one, because you know Clay 312 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: would want me to ask you this, who's going to 313 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: win the March Madness thing? 314 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 3: You know, I followed a little last week when it 315 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 3: was six, you know, sweet sixteen lead eight.

But if it doesn't work, the Democrats are 377 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 5: just going to dismantle everything he did and go back 378 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 5: the other way.

My mother's 383 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 5: ninety six and she's at home crying over what's going 384 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 5: on in the stock market. 385 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: She hates Trumble. 386 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 5: I voted for Trump three times. 387 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 2: I got it. 388 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry that the thank you Christopher calling in. 389 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: I'm sorry that your your mother's upset about this.

And is there some risk in this, Yeah, 395 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: there's some risk in it. But look at what Elon says. 396 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: If we don't start taking these risks, there's a certainty 397 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: of economic implosion. If we don't handle these problems, we 398 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: won't be in a position to handle them, and then 399 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: things get really ugly, so time to step up.

Occasionally, some 445 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: of you will tell me that I get yelled at 446 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: for either having a New York accent, too much of 447 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: a New York accent, or not having any New York accent, 448 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: depending on where the pronunciation police might find me in 449 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: any given day. So as I am for three hours 450 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: rolling through your speed traps, I guess I am at 451 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: your mercy. 452 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 2: So the pronunciation police came from that one. 453 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: And since we're doing a little bit of ombudsman work here, 454 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: I do want to And of course Clays out having 455 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: a great time sending me photos on the golf course. 456 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: You know he's a you know, big hitter of the clay. 457 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: You know he's sending it three hundred yards plus.

So I'm here in the trench. 462 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: The artillery rounds are falling all around me. I'm here 463 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: in the trench, and my buddy Clay is out on 464 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: the golf course. The story yesterday about McDonald's the dad 465 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: he left the kids. Now, I just before we go 466 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 1: back to this, I want to be clear about something, 467 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: all right, I want to be clear about something. The 468 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: real discussion was just about how old is it reasonable 469 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: and even legal, depending on the state, to leave your 470 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: kids unattended? And I thought that was interesting. For example, 471 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: we had a call and that was why it was 472 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: such a talker, and so many of you were weighing in. 473 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: It's why we had someone one of our listeners from Illinois, 474 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: I believe, say you got to be at least fourteen. 475 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: See that's high. I thought thirteen would would be more 476 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: or less. If you're thirteen, you're allowed to be alone, 477 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, like you can be unsupervised by your parents legally. 478 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: Whether it's a good idea or not, depending on where 479 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: you are, that's a separate but it's very contextual, right. 480 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: And some of the cops who called in, not pronunciation police, 481 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: but actual police. 482 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 2: Thanks guys. 483 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: They called in and they said, look, it really it's 484 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: about the totality of the circumstance and you know what's 485 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: going on here and all this okay, So with all 486 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: that said, it turns out that this fellow mister Chris Lewis, 487 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: who became a cause among some celebrities a go fund 488 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: me for him, charged with deprivation of a minor a 489 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago for leaving his kids one, six 490 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 1: and ten years old at the restaurant.

For nearly ninety minutes. The customers reported 508 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: the odd exchange to police. Lewis's oldest daughter told police 509 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: she and her family had walked to the McDonald's from 510 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: an apartment complex less than a mile down the road 511 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: where her mother lived. The girl allegedly claimed her father 512 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: frequently left them alone when he was watching them. Ten 513 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: year old girl told officials her dad had a backpack 514 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: and was supposed to deliver it to their mom. Her 515 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: daughter contacted fitchardo, I don't know who that's sorry how 516 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: over social media told her to go to McDonald's. Lewis 517 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: claimed he was at the apartments looking for her, but 518 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: never did any During his delivery, Lewis reportedly lost his 519 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: id retracing his steps. Sheriff's office stood by the arrest, 520 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: asserting that Lewis was not attending a job interview at 521 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: the time of his arrest, and he just left his 522 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: children unattended. The GOFUNDI got him seventy five thousand dollars 523 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: in twenty four hours. 524 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 2: Now, okay, So for those of you who were a 525 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: little skeptical of. 526 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: The story, congratulations or skepticism was correct. Now we said yesterday, 527 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of details, a lot you can go 528 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: back and listen. 529 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not like doing a moonwalk here. I'm 530 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 2: not just going. 531 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 1: You know, we knew that there were things we didn't know, 532 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: but the initial story on this was not correct. The 533 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: facts were not correct, and law enforcement was correct. That's 534 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: what That's what we find out, right. It wasn't a 535 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: job interview. Left his kids alone for an hour and 536 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: a half, leaves them alone a lot, not safe, not. 537 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 2: Good, And there you have it. So I wanted to 538 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 2: return to it. 539 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: I didn't want to get up because there was I 540 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: think a lot of people yesterday the way the story 541 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: was presented. Oh this guy, hard working guy, trying to 542 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: do the right thing for his family, last minute childcare 543 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: crisis left him in a McDonald's just gone for a second, 544 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: a short while. Remember, now we can go back and 545 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: look at some of the early media reporting on this, 546 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: which we were relying on. I wasn't there a short while. 547 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: Ninety minutes is not a short while. Okay, remember yesterday 548 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: I said it short while. I think that's probably I 549 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: mean fifteen to twenty minutes is a short while, Like 550 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: twenty is max when you're leaving her, And that would 551 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: be the big problem in Clay identified this one. I'm 552 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: doing this like like one of those films, those JFK 553 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: films where they like pull apart every aspect and every 554 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,120 Speaker 1: but I think we spell this got you. 555 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 2: All so far up yesterday. 556 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: We had so many emails, so many calls, and what 557 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: was fascinating. And I love these kinds of conversations. People 558 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: calling in saying it is it's crazy to even consider 559 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: we had this. Some of you listening, crazy to even 560 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: consider resting this guy for this not that big a deal, 561 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,400 Speaker 1: you know, yeah. 562 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 2: Other people are this is madness. 563 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: You know, these kids could have been abducted or something terrible. 564 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: You know, absolutely, so very people have very strong feelings 565 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: on both ends of this one. But those of you 566 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: who are saying, yeah, I don't buy it, you were right. 567 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: It's not what happened. What happened is he did something 568 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: reckless and the cops were in the right and you know, 569 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess does he here's a question, 570 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: does he get to keep the seventy five thousand dollars 571 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: for the GoFundMe. That's I'd be wondering if he's not 572 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: the working class hero who just did what he could 573 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: and is being treated roughly by law enforcement in the moment. 574 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: If that's not true, does he still I feel like 575 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 1: he probably does get to keep the money. 576 00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. 577 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what the rules are on that, but 578 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: I did just want to tell you all that we 579 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: filowed this up. Also want to thank We have an 580 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: affiliate station in Augusta and they reached out and said, hey, guys, 581 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: hey guys, there's more. So we knew as soon as 582 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: we talked about the story on the air that there 583 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: was going to be more stuff coming out. And remember 584 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: I told you I was not I was not blaming 585 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: law enforcement. I said, you know, we gotta know more facts. 586 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 1: Maybe law enforcement it's a it could be a situation 587 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: where they have to make an arrest under the circumstances 588 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: because of the age of the children and the endangerment issue. 589 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: So but quite a story, and it turns out it 590 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: is a. 591 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 2: It is a story that was rooted in well it 592 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: was a lie. The story was a lie. Also. 593 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: I think the mother got called to the scene. So 594 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: the mother of the children, or at least one of 595 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: the kids. 596 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. 597 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: I have to go back and look at the details, 598 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: but she was very unhappy about the situation too, very 599 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: unhappy about this. So I would just note that here 600 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: we are now up dating the story a day later 601 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: to make sure that we're all aligned about what happened here, 602 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: understand what really happened here. And with that, I want 603 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: to take my moment here to take a victory life 604 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: for something that we were right about maybe yesterday. You know, 605 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: we should have waited for a little more of the 606 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: facts to come in. I'll take I'll take the heat 607 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: on that. I'll take the heat on that a little bit, 608 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: especially because Clay is not Oh is it? Isn't it 609 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: so convenient Clay's not here today. I'm taking the heat. 610 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: Oh isn't that so convenient? Now He's having a great 611 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: time out there, he misses all of you. But I 612 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: did tell you the Eric Adams prosecution was was nonsense. 613 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: I did tell you the Eric Adams prosecution. You don't 614 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: probably you don't threaten to throw somebody in prison for 615 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: years and destroy their life because they got upgrades on 616 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: an airline like that's just not Because this is there 617 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,800 Speaker 1: is some line that the law has to draw with 618 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: tangible benefit, and if it is entirely up to the 619 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: aggression in the moment, for example, of somebody to give 620 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: you a tangible versus intangible benefit. This came up when 621 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: they went after Conrad Black, who was a excellent writer. 622 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: Conservative. 623 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: He's sort of a little bit less, you know, scaled down, 624 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: but he's sort of the Canadian Rupert Murdoch, a media 625 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: mogul of sorts, but from Canada, not from Australia, and 626 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: a conservative, and they decided to go after him. 627 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: I believe it was Patrick. 628 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald who was the prosecutor who has really just made 629 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: a career going after high profile conservative political targets and 630 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: like Scooter Libby and trying to destroy them. He is 631 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: a plague on the whole world of law enforcement. In 632 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: my opinion, this guy at Fitzgerald, he went to my 633 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: high school. Very bad news guy. And and Shae has 634 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: engaged in shameful conduct of going after people at the 635 00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: highest levels of prosecution in the game because a politics, right. 636 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: I mean that the whole Scooter livery thing Libby thing 637 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: was complete nonsense. He didn't leak the name. They knew 638 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: he didn't leak the name. Didn't even matter about the name. Really, 639 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: I know, you can be very litigious, or he can 640 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: be very letter of the law about this. But she 641 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 1: wasn't some like deep you know, the deep cover operative, 642 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: and oh my gosh, what's gonna this is some blonde 643 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: lady living in Georgetown. 644 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: Give me a break. I was in the CIA, I 645 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 2: know the reality. Put this aside. 646 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 3: Yes you recover. 647 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: Yes, she was doing Vanity Fair interviews a day later. 648 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: She's so worried about all of her sources. The whole 649 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: remember of the Valerie Plamee Leak Scooter Libby thing, total garbage. 650 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: I was in the CIA when that was going on. 651 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: Total garbage. The whole prosecution was garbage. Somebody said something 652 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: by accident. It was essentially a inadvertent disclosure of the name. 653 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: The name it wasn't really big, but they thought they 654 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: could get Scooter Libby or rarely actually they thought they 655 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: could get call Rover Dick Cheney. So that was what 656 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: the whole thing was about. But he went after I'm weaving. 657 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: I know, have I weaved a little too much here? Sorry, 658 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: take a moment. So going back to Conrad Black, this 659 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: is where Anna services fraud came into the conversation. The 660 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court and I know, had to strike down this 661 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: is a criminal statute because it was so broad, and 662 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: Scalia made this point that you could have if the 663 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: CEO of a company got a great table at a restaurant. 664 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: He make the case, well, he only got that table 665 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: because he's the CEO of Johnson and Johnson or whatever, 666 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: and so he's not and if they have any business 667 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: with that restaurant chain, he's not being fair to the 668 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: to the shareholders. I know that sounds crazy.
