Welcome to the Buck Brief. 4 00:00:21,257 --> 00:00:25,297 Speaker 1: David Marcus back on the hot seat for this episode. 5 00:00:25,377 --> 00:00:29,057 Speaker 1: He's a writer and author. He's like the Hemingway of 6 00:00:29,297 --> 00:00:35,057 Speaker 1: eastern West Virginia, and he joins us. Now, let's start 7 00:00:35,057 --> 00:00:39,377 Speaker 1: with this based on what we saw with Merrick Garland 8 00:00:39,417 --> 00:00:43,777 Speaker 1: today on Capitol Hill where he's getting into or he's 9 00:00:43,817 --> 00:00:46,577 Speaker 1: getting into it with Matt Gates specifically on whether there's 10 00:00:46,617 --> 00:00:50,577 Speaker 1: any coordination between the DOJ and any of these specifically 11 00:00:50,697 --> 00:00:53,537 Speaker 1: New York, but any of these prosecutions going on against Trump. 12 00:00:54,377 --> 00:00:56,817 Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, they keep saying that's a 13 00:00:56,857 --> 00:00:58,017 Speaker 2: conspiracy theory. 14 00:00:58,697 --> 00:01:02,617 Speaker 1: That doesn't sting anymore, because the conspiracy theorists on a 15 00:01:02,617 --> 00:01:04,657 Speaker 1: whole range of things when it comes to Democrats have 16 00:01:04,697 --> 00:01:06,817 Speaker 1: been right on everything for quite a while. 17 00:01:06,857 --> 00:01:08,657 Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I. 18 00:01:08,737 --> 00:01:11,537 Speaker 3: Look absolutely, and I think Gates had the answer for that. 19 00:01:11,657 --> 00:01:14,857 Speaker 3: Gates said, Okay, give us all the correspondence you have 20 00:01:14,937 --> 00:01:18,257 Speaker 3: between the Department of Justice and Fanny Willis's office, Alvin 21 00:01:18,257 --> 00:01:20,817 Speaker 3: Bragg's office. If this should be very simple to do, 22 00:01:21,017 --> 00:01:23,457 Speaker 3: and if it's a conspiracy theory, then these documents will 23 00:01:23,497 --> 00:01:27,497 Speaker 3: show that this is a conspiracy theory. And Garland won't 24 00:01:27,537 --> 00:01:30,657 Speaker 3: do that, you know, I think for obvious reasons. Look, 25 00:01:30,897 --> 00:01:34,497 Speaker 3: it's not crazy to ask why Matthew Colangelo would leave 26 00:01:34,617 --> 00:01:36,057 Speaker 3: being number three. 27 00:01:36,577 --> 00:01:37,457 Speaker 4: At the DOJ. 28 00:01:38,257 --> 00:01:42,297 Speaker 3: Right, how many people work at the DJOS tens of thousands. 29 00:01:42,057 --> 00:01:44,857 Speaker 1: I mean overall, it's like one hundred and twenty thousand 30 00:01:44,937 --> 00:01:45,177 Speaker 1: or something. 31 00:01:45,217 --> 00:01:46,937 Speaker 2: It's huge, right, So. 32 00:01:46,977 --> 00:01:49,897 Speaker 3: He's number three in an organization of that size, and 33 00:01:49,897 --> 00:01:51,897 Speaker 3: he says, you know, what what I really want to 34 00:01:51,937 --> 00:01:54,497 Speaker 3: do is go to New York City and you know, 35 00:01:54,657 --> 00:01:58,537 Speaker 3: prosecute beat level crime as an assistant district attorney. Nonsense, 36 00:01:59,137 --> 00:02:01,297 Speaker 3: nobody believes that. And then oh it just happens to 37 00:02:01,617 --> 00:02:05,697 Speaker 3: wind up on Trump's case. I mean that strains credulity. 38 00:02:05,817 --> 00:02:08,497 Speaker 3: And for Garland to say, well, I didn't have anything 39 00:02:08,497 --> 00:02:10,057 Speaker 3: to do with it, it's not good enough. 40 00:02:12,457 --> 00:02:15,097 Speaker 1: If someone asks you if the uh, we know the 41 00:02:15,137 --> 00:02:18,777 Speaker 1: system is being abused, but as the system truly broken 42 00:02:19,217 --> 00:02:23,537 Speaker 1: our justice system, and if the answer is yes, then what. 43 00:02:25,177 --> 00:02:25,217 Speaker 4: No? 44 00:02:25,657 --> 00:02:28,417 Speaker 3: Look I think it is and I think that what 45 00:02:28,497 --> 00:02:31,017 Speaker 3: I think is so important about this lawfare of this 46 00:02:31,137 --> 00:02:32,857 Speaker 3: happening in regard to what's going to happen in the 47 00:02:32,857 --> 00:02:36,977 Speaker 3: election is you go back about six months and you 48 00:02:37,057 --> 00:02:39,817 Speaker 3: look at the polling on the issues right that matter 49 00:02:39,857 --> 00:02:43,177 Speaker 3: to Americans, Trump has a big lead on most of them, immigration, 50 00:02:43,297 --> 00:02:47,457 Speaker 3: the economy, crime, foreign policy. There were two where Biden 51 00:02:47,497 --> 00:02:49,977 Speaker 3: had a significant lead. There was abortion and he still does. 52 00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:51,817 Speaker 3: And then there was this question of like, you know, 53 00:02:51,857 --> 00:02:55,177 Speaker 3: who's the greater threat to democracy? Six months ago, Biden 54 00:02:55,257 --> 00:02:58,777 Speaker 3: was up fifteen twenty points on that question. He's up 55 00:02:58,937 --> 00:03:03,737 Speaker 3: seven now six. Right, that is completely narrowed. That question 56 00:03:03,817 --> 00:03:06,977 Speaker 3: has become a wash, and it is like the entire 57 00:03:07,137 --> 00:03:09,577 Speaker 3: basis of the Biden campaign is, oh my goodness, this 58 00:03:09,577 --> 00:03:12,617 Speaker 3: guy's going to destroy democracy. If that issue is a 59 00:03:12,817 --> 00:03:15,657 Speaker 3: wash now, and it looks like it is, that's a 60 00:03:15,657 --> 00:03:16,977 Speaker 3: big problem for Joe Biden. 61 00:03:17,377 --> 00:03:19,337 Speaker 1: Do you think Democrats are actually worried or do you 62 00:03:19,377 --> 00:03:23,377 Speaker 1: think that they assume still that all the lawfair stuff 63 00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:27,097 Speaker 1: is going to be sufficient to knock Trump out? 64 00:03:27,977 --> 00:03:30,297 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think they're foolish if they're not worried. Look, 65 00:03:30,657 --> 00:03:33,297 Speaker 3: I don't think that what they're banking on ultimately is 66 00:03:33,337 --> 00:03:35,417 Speaker 3: the lawfair. I think what Democrats are banking on is 67 00:03:35,417 --> 00:03:38,257 Speaker 3: what they always bank on, which is that this election 68 00:03:38,417 --> 00:03:40,937 Speaker 3: is going to come down to about one point five 69 00:03:41,057 --> 00:03:48,617 Speaker 3: million persuadable voters in six states, right, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan. Right, 70 00:03:48,817 --> 00:03:51,977 Speaker 3: there's a very small group of people are going to 71 00:03:51,977 --> 00:03:55,897 Speaker 3: decide this election, and Democrats are really really good at 72 00:03:55,937 --> 00:03:58,777 Speaker 3: targeting the voters that they need finding out who they are. 73 00:03:59,297 --> 00:04:01,337 Speaker 3: So I think that's kind of what they're banking on, 74 00:04:01,417 --> 00:04:04,897 Speaker 3: But that's going to get complicated this year because usually 75 00:04:04,937 --> 00:04:08,617 Speaker 3: that means run up the numbers of black voters in Philadelphia. Well, 76 00:04:08,737 --> 00:04:12,297 Speaker 3: hold on a second, they might not all be on 77 00:04:12,337 --> 00:04:13,297 Speaker 3: your side this time. 78 00:04:14,457 --> 00:04:17,897 Speaker 1: Do you think that's real when people point to the 79 00:04:17,977 --> 00:04:21,017 Speaker 1: change in sentiment that seems to be observable at least 80 00:04:21,017 --> 00:04:26,497 Speaker 1: in the polls about young black men who I don't 81 00:04:26,497 --> 00:04:28,977 Speaker 1: know if it's more that they just don't see any 82 00:04:29,017 --> 00:04:31,257 Speaker 1: reason to vote for Biden or that they start to 83 00:04:31,297 --> 00:04:33,457 Speaker 1: see they're starting to see reasons to vote for Trump. 84 00:04:33,897 --> 00:04:35,417 Speaker 1: Do you think that's real in a way that it 85 00:04:35,417 --> 00:04:38,377 Speaker 1: could translate on election Day? Or is this yet another 86 00:04:38,457 --> 00:04:41,737 Speaker 1: moment where Republicans are seeing something that makes them really 87 00:04:41,777 --> 00:04:44,737 Speaker 1: happy and is really encouraging, and then somehow it doesn't 88 00:04:44,737 --> 00:04:46,817 Speaker 1: turn you know, twenty twenty two, I think looms large 89 00:04:46,817 --> 00:04:49,817 Speaker 1: for people just in terms of Wow, that wasn't what 90 00:04:49,817 --> 00:04:50,697 Speaker 1: we thought it was going to be. 91 00:04:52,097 --> 00:04:53,537 Speaker 4: Now look, I think it's real. 92 00:04:53,577 --> 00:04:56,857 Speaker 3: And the black vote is unique today in terms of 93 00:04:56,897 --> 00:04:59,937 Speaker 3: being hegemonically democrat in the way that it is like 94 00:05:00,017 --> 00:05:03,057 Speaker 3: eighty five ninety percent voting. That wasn't always true. That 95 00:05:03,057 --> 00:05:05,857 Speaker 3: that's actually a product of an urban voting base who 96 00:05:05,897 --> 00:05:09,537 Speaker 3: expects constituent services. But there was an old joke about 97 00:05:10,137 --> 00:05:13,217 Speaker 3: an Irish guy in Philly who was a Republican right 98 00:05:13,257 --> 00:05:15,937 Speaker 3: and he was on his deathbed and the Democrat ward 99 00:05:16,017 --> 00:05:19,177 Speaker 3: leader came by to pay his respects, and the dying 100 00:05:19,257 --> 00:05:21,937 Speaker 3: man said, well, Johnny, I'll tell you one thing. I 101 00:05:22,017 --> 00:05:25,777 Speaker 3: never voted a Republican. And the ward leader said, don't worry, Frank, 102 00:05:25,857 --> 00:05:29,937 Speaker 3: you will, you will, right, I mean, so, all of 103 00:05:29,977 --> 00:05:33,057 Speaker 3: these ethnic enclaves and urban environments tend to cling to 104 00:05:33,137 --> 00:05:35,937 Speaker 3: one party because they get services from them. That was 105 00:05:36,017 --> 00:05:39,057 Speaker 3: always the deal. People didn't vote for Charlie Wrangle because 106 00:05:39,097 --> 00:05:41,257 Speaker 3: he wasn't corrupt or he was great. They voted for 107 00:05:41,297 --> 00:05:43,577 Speaker 3: him because he got stuff done in the neighborhood. That's 108 00:05:43,657 --> 00:05:49,017 Speaker 3: breaking down. AOC doesn't do that. Presley doesn't do that. 109 00:05:49,017 --> 00:05:51,297 Speaker 3: That's not the kind of politicians they are. And I 110 00:05:51,297 --> 00:05:54,617 Speaker 3: think when black voters walk past the Roosevelt Hotel and 111 00:05:54,697 --> 00:05:58,737 Speaker 3: see illegal immigrants getting, you know, ATM cards with thousands 112 00:05:58,777 --> 00:06:02,097 Speaker 3: of dollars on them, they say, what am I getting 113 00:06:02,097 --> 00:06:04,177 Speaker 3: from you people? So yeah, I think it's real. 114 00:06:04,857 --> 00:06:07,697 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's switch to the immigration conversation a second. But 115 00:06:07,737 --> 00:06:11,697 Speaker 1: first up or from our sponsor here, Porter and Company. Look, 116 00:06:11,697 --> 00:06:15,137 Speaker 1: I've gone Porter Stansbury for a decade. I've worked with him, 117 00:06:15,137 --> 00:06:17,217 Speaker 1: We've co hosted a podcast together. This guy is a 118 00:06:17,297 --> 00:06:20,737 Speaker 1: visionary when it comes to the economy, and he built 119 00:06:20,857 --> 00:06:24,937 Speaker 1: a billion dollar company from starting out in just his 120 00:06:25,337 --> 00:06:28,697 Speaker 1: dorm room when he was in college in Florida. So 121 00:06:28,817 --> 00:06:31,217 Speaker 1: this is a guy who's done it all, who knows 122 00:06:31,577 --> 00:06:34,177 Speaker 1: about the markets and knows about how to make his 123 00:06:34,297 --> 00:06:36,937 Speaker 1: readers money and how to protect their wealth. Right, there's 124 00:06:36,937 --> 00:06:38,977 Speaker 1: making money, there's also not losing money. He knows how 125 00:06:38,977 --> 00:06:42,537 Speaker 1: to do it. So Porter has something that he wants 126 00:06:42,617 --> 00:06:46,337 Speaker 1: you to know about. As a CEO of a publicly 127 00:06:46,377 --> 00:06:49,457 Speaker 1: traded company, he cut his salary to a dollar a year. 128 00:06:50,177 --> 00:06:52,537 Speaker 1: Porter says he's not greedy, he doesn't need the money. 129 00:06:52,617 --> 00:06:55,137 Speaker 1: But more importantly for you, he did this because he 130 00:06:55,177 --> 00:06:57,577 Speaker 1: says he's found a much better way to save and 131 00:06:57,657 --> 00:07:00,737 Speaker 1: get paid. Porter says, it's essentially a new form of 132 00:07:00,777 --> 00:07:03,977 Speaker 1: money in America, and it's making some people really rich. 133 00:07:04,377 --> 00:07:06,537 Speaker 1: Most of the richest people in America already use it, 134 00:07:06,577 --> 00:07:09,617 Speaker 1: and you can too. It's not gold or bitcoin, but 135 00:07:09,657 --> 00:07:12,137 Speaker 1: Porter's as what's interesting is that, well, every American is 136 00:07:12,217 --> 00:07:15,537 Speaker 1: legally entitled to use this secret currency. You know much 137 00:07:15,617 --> 00:07:18,537 Speaker 1: about it, but now Porter's hoping to change that. It's 138 00:07:18,577 --> 00:07:21,417 Speaker 1: critical to understand how America's new money works. He believes 139 00:07:21,457 --> 00:07:24,417 Speaker 1: it's the most critical way to protect and grow wealth 140 00:07:24,417 --> 00:07:26,737 Speaker 1: in the years to come, especially as the dollar continues 141 00:07:26,777 --> 00:07:30,737 Speaker 1: to get chipped away at check out Porter's latest detailed 142 00:07:30,737 --> 00:07:35,657 Speaker 1: presentation at Secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com. That 143 00:07:36,017 --> 00:07:41,497 Speaker 1: Secret Currency twenty twenty four dot com. All right, so 144 00:07:41,577 --> 00:07:44,537 Speaker 1: Biden says, he signs his executive order at the border 145 00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:48,017 Speaker 1: or about the border, and it's funny because of course 146 00:07:48,217 --> 00:07:49,977 Speaker 1: he said he couldn't do this before and tried to 147 00:07:50,017 --> 00:07:51,977 Speaker 1: use that as leverage against Republicans to get them to 148 00:07:51,977 --> 00:07:54,337 Speaker 1: go along with this, and some idiot Republicans even started 149 00:07:54,377 --> 00:07:58,497 Speaker 1: to do so. Never never underestimate, of course, Republicans' ability 150 00:07:58,537 --> 00:08:01,097 Speaker 1: to just do stupid things that make everybody mad at them. 151 00:08:02,097 --> 00:08:04,457 Speaker 1: But I want to start with this. Do you know 152 00:08:04,497 --> 00:08:06,777 Speaker 1: that right now in your old hometown of New York City, 153 00:08:07,337 --> 00:08:13,017 Speaker 1: one in five hotels are migrant shelters, including a bunch 154 00:08:13,057 --> 00:08:15,097 Speaker 1: of four star hotels in Midtown Manhattan. 155 00:08:16,857 --> 00:08:20,137 Speaker 3: No, it's insane, I mean it's absolutely crazy. I mean, 156 00:08:20,297 --> 00:08:22,977 Speaker 3: this is a this is obviously a city that thrives 157 00:08:23,017 --> 00:08:28,737 Speaker 3: on tourism. Now it's you know, thriving on illegal immigrant tourism. 158 00:08:28,777 --> 00:08:31,377 Speaker 3: I mean, no, this makes no sense, and I know 159 00:08:31,537 --> 00:08:35,377 Speaker 3: that New Yorkers are very frustrated by it, as our 160 00:08:35,417 --> 00:08:38,537 Speaker 3: people in Chicago, as our people in Boston. And obviously 161 00:08:38,577 --> 00:08:42,817 Speaker 3: that's why you see Joe Biden's cynical ploy today, five 162 00:08:42,857 --> 00:08:46,057 Speaker 3: months out from an election, suddenly saying, oh, well, maybe 163 00:08:46,097 --> 00:08:48,737 Speaker 3: there is something I can do, after three years of 164 00:08:48,777 --> 00:08:50,057 Speaker 3: saying there's nothing I can do. 165 00:08:51,137 --> 00:08:53,657 Speaker 4: Look, I think most people will see through it. 166 00:08:54,137 --> 00:08:57,657 Speaker 3: The one advantage that he might get is, as as 167 00:08:57,777 --> 00:09:02,377 Speaker 3: effeckless as this plan is, it might be effective enough 168 00:09:02,417 --> 00:09:05,257 Speaker 3: to avoid stuff like we saw under the bridge in 169 00:09:05,297 --> 00:09:05,777 Speaker 3: del Rio. 170 00:09:06,497 --> 00:09:07,417 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, like. 171 00:09:08,417 --> 00:09:12,137 Speaker 1: He's to say them, he's going to process them faster. 172 00:09:12,897 --> 00:09:16,297 Speaker 1: And and it's like what I've said is if you 173 00:09:16,337 --> 00:09:18,177 Speaker 1: think of this like a like a shoplifting problem, if 174 00:09:18,177 --> 00:09:21,497 Speaker 1: think of a legal immigration which is illegal like shoplifting. 175 00:09:22,257 --> 00:09:27,577 Speaker 1: Instead of arresting and prosecuting people that shoplift, Biden is 176 00:09:27,617 --> 00:09:31,057 Speaker 1: basically saying, hey, we're just going to have more greeters 177 00:09:31,057 --> 00:09:34,057 Speaker 1: and more check out people. It's like, well, yes, that's 178 00:09:34,097 --> 00:09:36,657 Speaker 1: not that's going to make people move in and out faster, 179 00:09:36,857 --> 00:09:38,497 Speaker 1: but it's not going to stop the stealing. 180 00:09:39,617 --> 00:09:39,857 Speaker 4: Yeah. 181 00:09:39,937 --> 00:09:42,137 Speaker 3: I mean he won't even put the deodor in behind 182 00:09:42,137 --> 00:09:45,737 Speaker 3: a lock and key, right, I mean, so yeah, I look, 183 00:09:46,097 --> 00:09:48,137 Speaker 3: I think that that's I think that that's exactly right. 184 00:09:49,497 --> 00:09:54,137 Speaker 3: But you know, he promised some kind of action. I 185 00:09:54,177 --> 00:09:58,097 Speaker 3: think that this all goes back to the whole mess 186 00:09:58,137 --> 00:10:00,377 Speaker 3: that we had in November when McCarthy was kicked out. 187 00:10:00,377 --> 00:10:03,777 Speaker 3: I really believe that McCarthy's idea when he was kicked 188 00:10:03,777 --> 00:10:07,817 Speaker 3: out was that he was going to keep the government open, 189 00:10:07,817 --> 00:10:09,697 Speaker 3: which is why he got kicked out. But then he 190 00:10:09,777 --> 00:10:13,857 Speaker 3: was negotiate some kind of a border situation with Biden 191 00:10:14,297 --> 00:10:18,177 Speaker 3: that turned into this whole huge legislation. I don't think 192 00:10:18,217 --> 00:10:19,857 Speaker 3: it was ever intended to be that. I think you're 193 00:10:19,937 --> 00:10:24,737 Speaker 3: absolutely right on that Republicans were foolish to get on 194 00:10:24,937 --> 00:10:27,377 Speaker 3: board with that at all. But look, I don't think 195 00:10:27,417 --> 00:10:30,057 Speaker 3: this is any big win for Biden. I don't think 196 00:10:30,057 --> 00:10:31,377 Speaker 3: this turns the numbers around. 197 00:10:31,177 --> 00:10:32,097 Speaker 4: On the ball. It could be wrong. 198 00:10:32,137 --> 00:10:34,857 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I'm curious your take on that. 199 00:10:34,937 --> 00:10:36,217 Speaker 2: If you think this, well, he's got I mean, he's 200 00:10:36,257 --> 00:10:36,857 Speaker 2: got to do something. 201 00:10:36,857 --> 00:10:38,617 Speaker 1: We're just based on what the polls are telling him, right, 202 00:10:38,657 --> 00:10:42,017 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the option of just continue to right. 203 00:10:42,097 --> 00:10:44,537 Speaker 1: I mean, even if you can't stop the fire from 204 00:10:44,577 --> 00:10:46,457 Speaker 1: burning down your house, if you've got a bucket of water, 205 00:10:46,457 --> 00:10:47,937 Speaker 1: you're gonna throw it on it, Right, You're gonna you're 206 00:10:47,977 --> 00:10:49,857 Speaker 1: gonna do what you can do you think he gets 207 00:10:50,937 --> 00:10:51,497 Speaker 1: Do you think. 208 00:10:51,377 --> 00:10:54,017 Speaker 3: He gets any credit with independence or those voters in 209 00:10:54,057 --> 00:10:56,297 Speaker 3: the middle for bucking the left a little bit? 210 00:10:56,377 --> 00:10:56,497 Speaker 4: Right? 211 00:10:56,537 --> 00:10:59,337 Speaker 3: Because you're gonna see a you alreways see like talib 212 00:10:59,457 --> 00:11:03,737 Speaker 3: and the regular people they're getting upset with him. Could 213 00:11:03,817 --> 00:11:06,577 Speaker 3: that actually kind of work for Biden if he's pissing 214 00:11:06,617 --> 00:11:07,857 Speaker 3: off the far left. 215 00:11:09,257 --> 00:11:11,537 Speaker 1: Well, you know this is my my I shouldn't say 216 00:11:11,537 --> 00:11:13,177 Speaker 1: it so much. Is My theory is people keep telling 217 00:11:13,217 --> 00:11:17,577 Speaker 1: me this about what's his name, Fetterman in Pennsylvania. They say, 218 00:11:18,297 --> 00:11:21,017 Speaker 1: don't because we're like, look, he's saying stuff about Israel 219 00:11:21,017 --> 00:11:22,577 Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense to me. And he's 220 00:11:22,617 --> 00:11:24,697 Speaker 1: he said some other things about you know, Menendez is 221 00:11:24,737 --> 00:11:27,137 Speaker 1: a corrupt scumbag. I'm like, yeah, true, Like he says 222 00:11:27,177 --> 00:11:29,017 Speaker 1: things and I'm like, this is good stuff. But but 223 00:11:29,097 --> 00:11:31,057 Speaker 1: people in Pennsylvania, friends of mine have know this scene. 224 00:11:31,097 --> 00:11:33,697 Speaker 1: They say, no, you got to understand he's trying to 225 00:11:33,737 --> 00:11:36,977 Speaker 1: help There's a very competitive Senate election coming up with 226 00:11:37,257 --> 00:11:38,697 Speaker 1: Dave McCormick. 227 00:11:38,977 --> 00:11:42,217 Speaker 2: And and uh, what is it?

Right, this 233 00:11:54,257 --> 00:11:57,377 Speaker 3: was a thing in the world that doesn't exist anymore. 234 00:11:57,577 --> 00:12:00,897 Speaker 3: And Bob Casey Sr. Was he was the avatar of that. 235 00:12:00,977 --> 00:12:02,377 Speaker 3: Those guys don't exist anymore. 236 00:12:02,457 --> 00:12:02,897 Speaker 2: Yeah. 237 00:12:02,937 --> 00:12:06,697 Speaker 1: So uh, anyway, the Fetterman thing is now people are 238 00:12:06,737 --> 00:12:08,417 Speaker 1: saying because I do like and I've said I like 239 00:12:08,457 --> 00:12:10,497 Speaker 1: some of the things Fetterman has said recently, and you know, 240 00:12:10,497 --> 00:12:12,057 Speaker 1: if you say something that's smart, I'm not gonna say 241 00:12:12,057 --> 00:12:13,417 Speaker 1: it's Tom because I don't like you, right.
