Well, listen to verdict, because we're 46 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: going to keep making predictions. And so far our batting 47 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 3: record is pretty damn good in including some predictions that 48 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 3: at the time we made them were widely, widely ridiculed 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: and deemed crazy tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theories. And now 50 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 3: they are indisputably correct. 51 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: And let's go back, and let's start with one that's 52 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,559 Speaker 2: way back, and now we have a lot more confirmation 53 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 2: to say, yet again we were right. I want to 54 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: go back to March the tenth of twenty twenty Rch tenth, 55 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty. Get that in your head. We're in twenty 56 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 2: twenty five now, January first, and you said that in fact, 57 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: COVID nineteen you believe was coming from a lab, that 58 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: this wasn't some man made this wasn't some organic thing. 59 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 2: This was clearly man made. And if you said that, 60 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: by the way, on social media, you were shut down. 61 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 2: You were put into what we referred to as social 62 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: media jail. Your reach was limited, you couldn't run ads. 63 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: It changed looks. 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: People in twenty twenty. In twenty twenty, Facebook and Twitter 65 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: and Google, they were all actively suppressing saying that that 66 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 3: COVID was a man made virus, that it was not 67 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: something that had just naturally leapt from an animal to 68 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: the human population, but rather that it escaped from a lab. 69 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: It was suppressed. We now know that that Facebook, that 70 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: doctor Fauci was communicating with Mark Zuckerberg asking him to 71 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: suppress it. And yet somehow, starting back in March of 72 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: twenty twenty, this show was laying out the facts, and 73 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: for our loyal listeners and viewers, they were hearing the 74 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: facts about COVID right at the very beginning. Give a 75 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: list in March tenth, twenty twenty. 76 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 4: This was just a bad case of bat soup. That 77 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 4: people ate something they shouldn't have eaten, and that's how 78 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 4: it spread. Others have pointed to this strange coincidence that 79 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 4: there is a virus testing laboratory in Wuhan. Do we 80 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 4: have any sense of the true origins of the virus, Well, 81 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 4: we don't know for sure. 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 3: I've asked medical experts and they've said, based on the 83 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 3: sequencing of the genomes, it does not appear to be 84 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: artificially created. That it appears to be a virus that 85 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: has occurred in nature. You're right that a lot of 86 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: people have focused on the Wuhan Virology Institute that is 87 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 3: located right there, and indeed they've got researchers there that 88 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: are studying coronavirus and studying bats. I mean that raises 89 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: some obvious questions. At the same time, it's it's very interesting. 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: Do you remember back last fall when when the Houston Rockets, 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 3: when Daryl Mory, the general manager, tweeted out about Hong Kong. 92 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 3: He said, stand with Hong Kong, stand for liberty, right, 93 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 3: and and the NBA went crazy, and China went crazy, 94 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: and the NBA apologized profusely. I have to admit, it's 95 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: kind of the same thing that anyone suggests, well, well, gosh, 96 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 3: you know, there are thousands, hundreds of thousands of cities 97 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 3: all across the world. It just so happens this outbreak 98 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: is there right where this virology lab is, and the 99 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 3: collective media acts with this outrage of okay, take your 100 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 3: take your tin hat off. How dare you even ask 101 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 3: that question? You know it, it's obviously a question that 102 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: people are going to inquire. Look, the first step needs 103 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: to be stopping this this virus, stopping the disease and 104 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: protecting human life. Right now. But but there are certainly 105 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: going to be questions following up if if there is 106 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 3: any connection or not, And that seems that least a 107 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 3: reasonable question. 108 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: I asked you listen to that, and again we're going 109 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: back now to twenty twenty for that. You were spot 110 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: on and that was something that the media and social 111 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: media said made you a conspiracy theorist. 112 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and listen, there are two predictions that that came 113 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: out that we were laying out. Number one, that that 114 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: COVID did not occur just naturally, did not occur in 115 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: a wet market from someone eating bat soup, but rather 116 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 3: than it escaped from a lab. And number two that 117 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: in particular it came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. 118 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: And look, early on, you're dealing with limited information. I 119 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 3: was trying to do my best to walk through that 120 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 3: limited information. By the way, I got to say in 121 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 3: that clip, Ben, you sound kind of funny there. You know, 122 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 3: you don't have much of sun time. You know, you 123 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: sound like you sound kind of like a yalea. It's 124 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: a little weird. 125 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: I've always, you know, wanted to know what I'd sound 126 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 2: like if I went to the Ivy leagues and now 127 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 2: I know, compliments of Michael Knowles for making that happen right. 128 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 3: And for long time Verdict listeners. Michael Knowles, my dear friend, 129 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: Ben's dear friend was my co host for the first 130 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 3: couple of years, and so that was Michael and me 131 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: back then before Ben came on board. That was in March, 132 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: March tenth of twenty twenty. Let's go forward a month 133 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: later to April. To April we had a little more information. 134 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: I want to listen. I want you to listen to 135 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 3: Verdict laying out the evidence that this virus not just 136 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: escape from a lab, but escape from the Wuhan Institute 137 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: for Virology in Wuhan, China. Give a listen. 138 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 4: I want to turn for a moment from the economy 139 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: into the virus itself. And I want to take just 140 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: a slight victory lap because I remember on this very show, 141 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 4: Senator on March tenth, over a month ago, you suggested 142 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 4: that there was very likely a link between the Wuhan 143 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 4: Institute of Virology and this virus that just so coincidentally 144 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 4: happened to occur within a couple of miles of that institute. 145 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: During that time, the mainstream media said this was crazy. 146 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 4: This was a conspiracy theory, there was no evidence of it. 147 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 4: Now we are getting multiple reports all saying that the 148 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: virus came from the lab. My question here is not 149 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 4: my point is not just to take a victory lab. 150 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: My question is did the US government know that the 151 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 4: Wuhan Institute of Virology was conducting this sort of dangerous research? 152 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 4: And if we did know, why didn't we stop it? 153 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely yes, the US government knew, and in fact, when 154 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 3: you and I brought this up on March tenth, over 155 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: a month ago, you're right, it was treated as tinfoil hat, 156 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: conspiracy theory, nut jobbery. Well, it turns out there wasn't 157 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: just one. There were two labs within miles of where 158 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: this outbrook break occurred that were studying coronaviruses from bats, 159 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 3: and that there were internal State Department wires before this pandemic, 160 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: raising concerns about the security and the those labs and 161 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 3: that an accidental a virus could escape and cause a 162 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 3: global pandemic. But I'll tell you it's worse than that. 163 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 3: And let me give you some breaking news right now, 164 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: which is the US government was funding the Chinese research 165 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: at the Wu Hunt Institute of Virology, your taxpayer dollars 166 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 3: and my taxpayer dollars. And let me give you specifics 167 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: that we just got today today in inquiring of the 168 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: National Institutes of Health, did any of your money go 169 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 3: to the wu Hunt Institute of Virology. The answer is yes, 170 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: And here's what they told us in writing today. They said, 171 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 3: in fiscal year twenty nineteen, the funding for the Wuhun 172 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 3: Institute for Virology was seventy six thousand dollars and the 173 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 3: three hundred and one dollars seventy six thousand, three hundred 174 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: and one dollars. Now what did it go to? And 175 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 3: I'm repeating what NIH has told me in writing. It 176 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 3: went to It was part of an overall three two 177 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: point seven million dollar funding program that went to six 178 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 3: years in sites in China, Thailand, Cambonia, Laos, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, 179 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: and Banmar. And here's what they were studying. These are 180 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 3: Nah's words. The project included studying viral diversity in animal parentheses, 181 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: bats reservoirs, surveying people that live in high risk communities 182 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:37,319 Speaker 3: for evidence of bat coronavirus infection, and conducting laboratory experiments 183 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: to analyze and predict which newly discovered viruses pose the 184 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 3: greatest threats to human health center. 185 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: It's pretty clear, and that's part two of this prediction. 186 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 2: You were right as well. 187 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, look and we now know this like what we 188 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: were predicting then that was crazy fringe theory has now 189 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 3: all been confirm. Let's fast forward to February twenty twenty three. 190 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: February twenty twenty three, The Washington Post reported, FBI director 191 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 3: said COVID nineteen quote most likely originated from lab incident. 192 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: That's the FBI's position now. June of twenty twenty three, 193 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 3: The New York reported New York Post reported quote. US 194 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 3: taxpayers supported research in three Chinese labs that included risky 195 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: gain of function experiments with coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute 196 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: of Virology, the National Institution Institutes of Health NIH and 197 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 3: the US Agency for International Development USAID provided two million, 198 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty eight thousand, three hundred and forty 199 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: five dollars in grant funding to the Chinese research institutions 200 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 3: between twenty fourteen and twenty twenty one. According to the 201 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 3: Government Accountability Office, The report shows one million, four hundred 202 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: and thirteen thousand, seven hundred and twenty dollars in subgrants 203 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: allocated by the Manhattan based EcoHealth Alliance went to the 204 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 3: Wuhan Institute of Virology, where hazardous research was conducted on 205 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: back coronaviruses. July of twenty twenty three, Reuters reported quote 206 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: US suspends federal funding to Wuhan lab over non compliance. 207 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: December twenty twenty four, Fox News COVID most likely leaked 208 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 3: from Wuhan lab, social distancing not based on science, select 209 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 3: committee fines. And then finally December twenty sixth of twenty 210 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 3: twenty four, just a few days ago, The Wall Street 211 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: Journal wrote the bomb Setshell story that we did an 212 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: entire podcast on entitled Behind closed Doors the Spy World 213 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 3: scientists who argued COVID was a lab leak. Well, there 214 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: were scientists arguing that behind Closed Doors, but there was 215 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 3: also the Verdict podcast making the argument laying out the 216 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: facts right at the very beginning, and I gotta say, 217 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: on COVID, we were proved exactly right. 218 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 2: Final question on this prediction, looking forward, do you think 219 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: we're going to learn a lot more about Fauci, the 220 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: cover up, and COVID win Donald Trump is inaugurated after 221 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: January twentieth. 222 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: So I do, and I am urging the incoming Trump 223 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: administration to engage in full transparency. That's a discussion I 224 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 3: have had with Pam Bondi at the Department of Justice. 225 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: That's a discussion I've had with with Cash Battel, who 226 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: will be going to the FBI. It's a discussion I 227 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 3: will have next week with RFK Junior, who will be 228 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 3: coming in as HHS Secretary. Every one of them, I 229 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: am urging, use full transparency, make it public, let the 230 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 3: public know. And I'm going to keep pressing them to 231 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 3: do that. And I think that they're going to follow through. 232 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 3: We're going to know a lot more. That is a 233 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: very good thing. 234 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: Let's move on to another prediction. This may be one 235 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 2: of my favorite predictions that we've ever made here on 236 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: this show, because when we said it, we got a 237 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: lot of pushback and there are a lot of people 238 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: that said what you were saying was just absurd. We 239 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: had our ten foil hats on again. I mean, there 240 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: were people that were angry over this. And that was 241 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: the big prediction that you made that Joe Biden would 242 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 2: not be the twenty twenty four Democratic nominee. 243 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 3: Well, that's right, And I made two related predictions. Number one, 244 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 3: early on, I said, I believe Joe Biden would not 245 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: be the Democrat nominee. He would not be on the 246 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 3: ballot in twenty twenty four. I also predicted, I said 247 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: the only people there were. When people were later talking 248 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: about replacing him with Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer some 249 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: other people, I said, no, that will never happen. The 250 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: Democrat Party is a bean counting party. Next in line 251 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 3: is Kamala Harris, and the Democrat Party cannot cannot push 252 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 3: her aside, cannot push an African American woman aside for 253 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: a white guy like Gavin Newsom. Their party would spontaneously 254 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: combust if they tried to do that. So I said, 255 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 3: the only people who could replace Joe Biden are Kamala 256 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: har Harris or Michelle Obama. And I did lay out 257 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 3: that I thought Michelle Obama. If I were a Democrat, 258 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 3: I would much prefer Michelle Obama to Kamala Harris because 259 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, as the whole world is seen, is a 260 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 3: lousy candidate. So if you're a Democrat who wants to win, 261 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 3: and you're stuck with Kamala Harris. There's only one human 262 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 3: being who can push Kamala Harris aside. That is Michelle Obama. 263 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: Now what I think happened. I think they tried with Michelle. 264 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 3: I think Michelle said no. And so prediction number one 265 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: that Joe Biden would not be the nominee that came 266 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 3: one hundred percent correct. Prediction number two that he would 267 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 3: be replaced either by Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama that 268 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 3: came true as well, although I did think Michelle Obama 269 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 3: had a very real possibility. So let's listen. This first 270 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: excerpt is from September eighteenth, twenty twenty three, so more 271 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 3: than a year, a year and three months ago, where 272 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: I laid out laid out this possibility and give a listen. 273 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: Here's the scenario that I think is perhaps most likely 274 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 3: and most dangerous. In August of twenty twenty four, the 275 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama, 276 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 3: and I want you to pause and reflect on it. 277 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: No, I'm pausing, and I'm reflecting, as we said, and 278 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: so is everybody else listening right now. 279 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 3: I view this as a very serious. 280 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: Danger I'm smiling right now because it terrifies me, and 281 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 2: I also could totally see this happening. 282 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 3: So Michelle Obama, number one, you don't infuriate African American women, 283 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 3: which is a critical part of the constituency that Democrats 284 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 3: are relying on to win. But number two, you avoid 285 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 3: the problem if you pick from any of the four. 286 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 3: The other three are pissed because they're all, to some 287 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 3: extent peers, they're rivals, they're all jabbin knives at each other. 288 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama, because she was first Lady, has the ability 289 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 3: to kind of parachute in above all and say, hey, 290 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: we're not picking among any of you. You guys can 291 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 3: all fight it out. Next time. You're all gonna be 292 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 3: on the same level. We're coming. This is the Obamas 293 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 3: saving the day, and I think in terms of a 294 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 3: solution that unifies Democrats, there ain't nothing like that. I 295 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: also think Michelle is not all that eager to run 296 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 3: for president, but to parachute in in August of twenty four, 297 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 3: a couple of months before the presidency and suddenly wake 298 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 3: up and be president not a bad gig. It's not 299 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 3: a bad gig at all. Now, would she do it. 300 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 3: I don't know. I've met Michelle, but I don't know 301 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 3: her personally in any meaningful way. I don't know if 302 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 3: she would do it. I do think Barack Obama is 303 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 3: already running the Biden administration. I think he is already 304 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 3: the puppet master behind this Biden White House. I don't 305 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 3: think Joe Biden is the decision maker. And so when 306 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: I see the media turning on Joe Biden right now, 307 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: I think the odds of Michelle Obama parachuting in in 308 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 3: August of twenty twenty four have risen dramatically, and that 309 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: ought to scare the hell out of anyone who is 310 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 3: unhappy about the direction this country is going and doesn't 311 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 3: want us to go even crazier in an even worse. 312 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: Direct, in an even worse direction. 313 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: Well, and there you heard in September of twenty twenty 314 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 3: three making the prediction that Joe Biden would be jettisoned. 315 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 3: And by the way, at the time that happened, very 316 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 3: few people were making that prediction. When we put that 317 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 3: podcast out, it drove a lot of news. There were headlines, 318 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 3: There were people that were shocked when I laid out 319 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 3: that Biden was not capable, that his mental capacity had diminished, 320 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 3: that he was not going to be the nominee, that 321 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 3: the Democrats realized it, that they were going to jettison him. 322 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 3: The media ridiculed it. But you go forward to February 323 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four, I went on Maria Barbiromo. I said, 324 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 3: I think Obama's driving the train, which is which is 325 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: also what I said back in September twenty twenty three. 326 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 3: John Harwood, who you know, was the former journalist for 327 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal and for NBC, and who's a 328 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 3: hard leftist, a vicious leftist. He retweeted my comments on 329 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 3: Maria Barbaramo and his entire commentary was quote impossibly stupid conversation. 330 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 3: So that was his learned journalistic view is that it 331 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 3: was impossibly stupid to say that. I will tell you 332 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 3: just just in November of this year, I retweeted Harwood 333 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 3: shot at me and I just said, I want to 334 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 3: know why nobody trusts the media. Just nine months ago, 335 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 3: a fake quote journalist claimed it was quote impossibly stupid 336 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 3: to observe that Joe Biden was not mentally competent to 337 00:19:54,680 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: be president. Now everybody admits it. What say you, John 338 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 3: Jay Harwood of course, Harwood didn't respond at all. He 339 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 3: ignored it. All right, Let's go forward though. Not only 340 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: did we lay it out in September of twenty twenty three, 341 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 3: but then fast forward to the debate, the debate between 342 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 3: Joe Biden and Donald Trump, that was on June twenty eighth, 343 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. You and I recorded a Verdict podcast 344 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 3: immediately after the debate. We went live, recorded it that night, 345 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 3: and give a listen to what the Verdict podcast said 346 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 3: the night of the debate. 347 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: Tender Cruz. I didn't think it could actually be this bad. 348 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 2: It was worse than even I think either of us 349 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 2: could have imagined. And now the Democratic Party is screaming 350 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 2: replaced the president. 351 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: Well, you and I are sitting here at is ten 352 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 3: seventeen pm Texas time, at is eleven seventeen pm East 353 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 3: Coast time, the night of the debate. The debate just ended, 354 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,879 Speaker 3: and I have to say we have just witnessed what 355 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 3: I believe is the most consequential presidential debate in US history. 356 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 3: Sometimes debate change debates change things. Sometimes they don't. I 357 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: believe to bite tonight's debate change things fundamentally, And I 358 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 3: believe the odds have now skyrocketed. I believe the odds 359 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 3: are north of eighty percent that the Democrat Party will 360 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: remove Joe Biden from the ticket and replace him. And 361 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 3: I believe they are likely to replace Joe Biden with 362 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama because Biden did so disastrously badly tonight that 363 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 3: Democrats across the country are in utter freefall and complete panic. 364 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 3: We're going to break all that down tonight. 365 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. And by the way, this was a prediction that 366 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 2: you made on this show back in September of twenty 367 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 2: twenty three, that the Democratic king makers could bring in 368 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 2: Michelle Obama will break all that down center yet another 369 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: prediction there Again, you go back and look at the 370 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 2: night you made it right at that debate, and you 371 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: said there's no way he's going to be on the ticket, 372 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: and it was absolutely correct. 373 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: Well, to be fair, what I said was the odds 374 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 3: were north of eighty percent that he would be pulled 375 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 3: off the ticket. That prediction that Joe Biden would be 376 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 3: removed from the ticket, which by the way, is unprecedented 377 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 3: and was almost universally ridiculed in the media, that prediction 378 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 3: came one hundred percent true. I also articulated there were 379 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: only two people who could replace him, Kamala Harris or 380 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama. I believe Michelle Obama was more likely. The 381 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama thing did not come to pass, but the 382 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris thing did. And in fact I predicted that 383 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 3: the Democrat Kingmakers with jettison Biden in August of twenty 384 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 3: twenty four. They in fact did so on July twenty 385 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 3: first of twenty twenty four, so I was ten days 386 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 3: off in terms of predicting it. And by the way, 387 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 3: to be clear, I predicted that way back in September 388 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty three, so over a year earlier. I 389 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 3: predicted within ten days when they would throw Biden off 390 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 3: the ballot. And I'm gonna make actually a brand new 391 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: prediction here. I'm going to predict that in the next 392 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 3: year or two we're going to get confirmation that there 393 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 3: was serious outreach to Michelle Obama to see if she 394 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,199 Speaker 3: was willing to replace Joe Biden on the ballot, and 395 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 3: that Michelle Obama said no. I don't know that, but 396 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: my instinct, my judgment tells me that happened, and we'll 397 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,959 Speaker 3: see in the next year or two if that gets confirmed. 398 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 3: We'll have a subsequent podcast. If that gets confirmed publicly, 399 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 3: we'll go back and revisit it regardless. Prediction number three, 400 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 3: Joe Biden will not be the nominee. Check true. Prediction 401 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: number four Joe Biden will be replaced by either Kamala 402 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 3: Harris or Michelle Obama check true. So that's four predictions. 403 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 3: Let's move on to prediction number five. 404 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 2: Number five is another big one here, and that is 405 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 2: the prediction that Joe Biden would pardon death Row inmates. 406 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: You said that it was gonna happen, and it did. 407 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 2: Plus the even more i would say disgusting deal that 408 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 2: was given out to Khalead Sheik Muhammad, the mastermind of 409 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: nine to eleven to spare his life, the mastermind of 410 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 2: nine to eleven, and a man that was also before 411 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: even nine to eleven involved in many other terrorist attack 412 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: that killed women and children and the elderly innocent bystanders 413 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: that he did around the world. 414 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 3: Well, and this is a prediction that we made on 415 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 3: August eighteenth, twenty twenty three. Give a listen to what 416 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 3: we said back in August of twenty three. Any Way, 417 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 3: I'm going to make a prediction as well, which is 418 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 3: that these are not the only mass murderers that I 419 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 3: think this administration is going to refuse to follow federal 420 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 3: law and impose the death ben I'm going to make 421 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 3: a prediction right now, which is Joe Biden, before war 422 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 3: he leaves the White House will commute the sentence of 423 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 3: every federal prisoner on death row. That he will do 424 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 3: it for every one of them. And that includes It 425 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 3: includes the white supremacist and Nazi who murdered nine African 426 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 3: Americans at the Mother Emmanuel Ame Church in Charleston, South Carolina, 427 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 3: in a horrific hate crime. He's on federal death row. 428 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 3: It includes the Boston bomber who murdered innocent people by 429 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 3: exploding a bomb at the Boston Marathon. One of the 430 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 3: two brothers is still alive. He's on death row. And 431 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 3: my prediction right now is Joe Biden intends to spare 432 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 3: every one of these mass murderers, every one of them. 433 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 3: Many of them are racist, bigoted, homicidal lunatics, and I 434 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: think we're going to see him commute all of their 435 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 3: sentences before he leaves the White House. 436 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 1: Well, if you won't, if you won't take out the 437 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: mastermind of nine to eleven, and you won't give him 438 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 1: the death penalty. Is there anyone that you'll give it to? 439 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't. It doesn't get any worse than this. 440 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: It doesn't. And yet that's exactly what he's done. 441 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 3: Well, So my prediction again in August of twenty three, 442 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 3: is that that he would he would remove the death penalty, 443 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,679 Speaker 3: that he would commute the death penalty for the federal 444 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: death row prisoners that has come to pass. Now, to 445 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: be clear, this prediction proves slightly off. I predicted that 446 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 3: he would commute the sentence of every single federal death 447 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 3: row prisoner. He instead commuted the sentence of thirty seven 448 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 3: out of the forty federal death row inmates. And so 449 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 3: there were three he did not. And interestingly enough, the 450 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: three he did not are the three that I identified in October, 451 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 3: or rather in August of twenty twenty three. So the 452 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: three he did not were the murderer at the Tree 453 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 3: of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, the murderer at the Mother 454 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 3: Emmanuel Church in Charles in South Carolina, and the Boston 455 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 3: marathon bomber. And those three are the only three he 456 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 3: did not. Now I identified those three because they're the 457 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 3: most horribly egregious, they're the most famous and infamous that 458 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 3: they are. Two of the three at least are vicious, 459 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 3: unrepentant racists. And so I have to say my prediction 460 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 3: it was not one hundred percent right. It was ninety 461 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 3: two point five percent right, because instead of commuting forty 462 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 3: death sentences, Biden commuted thirty seven out of forty, and 463 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 3: he left the three most egregious and famous ones off 464 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 3: the table. Why because they knew that the press was 465 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 3: so utterly corrupt that without those three that they would 466 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: get almost no criticism for it, That would you would 467 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 3: just go under the carpet, not really be seen. And 468 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 3: I have to say I underestimated the incredible cynicism. And 469 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 3: I got to say nonetheless that that is a profound 470 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 3: disrespect for the rule of law. Among those that that 471 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 3: Biden did commute the sentences was was a Nazi and 472 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 3: an Aryan Brotherhood racist. You know, Joe Biden stepped forward 473 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 3: and said, hey, we're the Democrat Party, We're here. We're 474 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: here for Nazis and klansmen. I mean it. But ninety 475 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 3: two point five percent prediction correct. And sadly, another element 476 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 3: of this prediction just just became confirmed moments ago. So 477 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 3: so this episode, we were talking about the plans to 478 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 3: spare the life of Khaleade Shake Mohammad, the mastermind of 479 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 3: nine to eleven, and this podcast put enormous public pressure 480 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 3: on the White House. The White House Koreem John Pierre 481 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: was asked about it, and the heat became so much 482 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 3: that they backed off of it. Well, sadly, the news 483 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 3: just broke that they're going back to trying to spare 484 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 3: Khalead Shak Muhammad. They're trying to do it literally on 485 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 3: the way out that door. And the contempt that Joe Biden, 486 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 3: this entire White House has for the voters. They are 487 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 3: trying to break everything on the way out the door. 488 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 3: They're trying to frustrate Donald Trump every way they can. 489 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: They are such vicious partisans that there is no respect 490 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 3: for the Constitution, for the rule of law, no respect 491 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 3: for the voters. They don't care what the voters said 492 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 3: in November. They are trying to literally break everything on 493 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 3: the way out the door. And I gotta say it 494 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 3: is grotesque. 495 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 2: It really is. We're gonna have part two of our predictions. 496 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 2: We will continue this on Friday morning, so may make 497 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 2: sure you hit that like subscribe auto download button, and 498 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: we will keep giving you hard hitting predictions so you 499 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 2: know what's actually gonna be happening in this new year. 500 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: It is going to be a very fun one, especially 501 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 2: with Trump in office, Republicans control of the House in 502 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 2: the Senate, and we're gonna have a lot of predictions 503 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 2: for you, So make sure that subscriber auto download button, 504 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: and on Friday will have part two two of this.
