1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,640 Speaker 1: It's a very sad day. 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 2: This is a dark day in America. 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: We have a reached court case. 4 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 2: That should have never been brought and it should have 5 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: been brought in another jurisdiction. 6 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 3: As you know, we. 7 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: Asked for that, and the judge never allows us anything. 8 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 2: And just to end, we had an election expert was 9 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: going to say everything was perfect when the FBC did nothing, 10 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: it was fine. 11 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 4: And we had a lot of other people. 12 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: I could give you a list of forty people that 13 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: would say the exact same. 14 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: Thing as these people said. So thank you very much. Well, 15 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. 16 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 2: This is a very dangerous day for America. 17 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 4: It's a very sad day. 18 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 5: Thank you one. 19 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: He is saying there at the end, that's obviously President 20 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: or Trump. What are you saying? Is important for everyone 21 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: to hear over and over again. It is a dangerous 22 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: day in America. This is you know, usually Clay, when 23 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: someone says this is about more than me, they actually 24 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: just want to focus more attention on themselves. This is 25 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: about more than Trump. Actually, you cannot have a free 26 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: country with free elections where one side will bring obviously 27 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: trumped up and absurd political prosecutions against people and use 28 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: the justice system to do it. That effectively can end 29 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: the process of elections as we've come to know it. 30 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: So it is really important. It is more than Trump. 31 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: But I think he also makes another critical point here. 32 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: This is him speaking this morning before he went into 33 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: the trial, and that is not only do they delay this, 34 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: not only is the whole charge preposterous, not only is 35 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: it all sort of stuck together with you scotch tape 36 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: and bubblegum as a prosecutorial view of the case and 37 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: view of the crime, Clay the judge has even tried 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: to I think skew it towards the prosecution in very 39 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: clear and obvious ways. And we still now wonder whether 40 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: there'll be one person on that jury, maybe more, maybe 41 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: a couple, you know, hung jury one, it could be 42 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: a few, yeah, but whether one person will see through 43 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: all of this. But the whole thing has been truly rigged, 44 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: truly rigged. 45 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 4: And again I think it's so important to strip away 46 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 4: everything that you believe about Trump, everything that you believe 47 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 4: about Biden, everything that you believe about Judge Marchan or 48 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 4: Alvin Bragg. We all have strong opinions there. If these 49 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 4: twelve jurors just focus on what will eventually be they're 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: trying to finish the closing arguments today, what will eventually 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 4: be the jury instructions that they get, which will be 52 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: a story in and of itself, because I'm intrigued to 53 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 4: see exactly what the jury instructions look like. But there 54 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 4: is no way possible that you could say beyond a 55 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 4: reasonable doubt that there has been a crime committed here. 56 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: I think on two levels. I think there is an 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 4: argument that Trump was not involved in these business transactions 58 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 4: in the way that they were booked on the documents, 59 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 4: which by the way, is a misdemeanor. But I think 60 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 4: one hundred percent certainty there is no proving of any 61 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 4: kind of intent on his part, which would be part 62 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 4: of the second crime that would elevate this to a felony. 63 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 4: I think there's a strong and I've hammered this for 64 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 4: a while, every man out there, I really do believe 65 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 4: that Trump was worried about Milania hearing these accusations, whether 66 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 4: they were true or not, inside of his marriage, as 67 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 4: much or more than he was concerned about the political 68 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 4: implications of this. And I think most every man out 69 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: there listening can imagine, let presume that Trump didn't do this. 70 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: We know that he bought off one allegation about him 71 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: having a child out of marriage, which was one hundred 72 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 4: percent not true, and I think that's a big part 73 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 4: of this story. There was a doorman who was telling 74 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: a story that Trump had an illegitimate child, and he 75 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 4: paid for that story not to go public, and we 76 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 4: know it's one hundred percent false because he didn't want 77 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: the story out there and it was otherwise going to 78 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: be Why couldn't the same thing be for his own family. 79 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: So here, here's a perfect example of why this whole 80 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: thing is insane. Go to the Federal Election Commission website 81 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: and look up the personal Use differentiation but for campaign 82 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: and personal use funds, and they have something clay. It's 83 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: very straightforward called the And I spoke about this recently. 84 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: I said, you know, people think like, oh, I got 85 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: a nice suit, I wear it to my office. I 86 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: can write that off of my taxes. No, if you 87 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, have to dress like you know, if you 88 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: have to wear like a uniform or something, you know, 89 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: you have to dress like you're from a different century 90 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: or something from some kind of a historical society, you know, 91 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: something like that. But there's something called the irrespective test 92 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: here for the FEC, same thing would apply for you. 93 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: Taxes Commission regulations provide a test called the irrespective test 94 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: to differentiate legitimate versus campaign expenses. Personal use is any 95 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: use of funds in a campaign account of a candidate 96 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: to fulfillate commitment, obligation, or expense that would exist irrespective 97 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: of the candidate's campaign or responsibilities as a federal office holder. 98 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: So you're not allowed to just be like, I have 99 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: campaign funds, I'm going to be talking about the campaign 100 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: in this new home. I'm going to buy this new 101 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: home for myself with campaign funds. Like this is pretty straightforward, right, 102 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a pretty straightforward rule. Paying somebody 103 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: to shut up about an affair you had a long 104 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: time ago is clearly dual use, right, I mean, it's 105 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: clearly a thing that you would have done I'm sorry, 106 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: personal use, pardon me, Clearly a thing you would have 107 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: done on a personal basis, which is what you're talking 108 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: about with the alleged a doorman affair thing, whatever that was. 109 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: And the even more clear way to look at this 110 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: is if this is a campaign expense, they rather if 111 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: he had treated this as a ca paign expense. They 112 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: absolutely would prosecute it. John Edwards, right, they absolutely would 113 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: prosecute him for this, so he there's no way that 114 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: that's what you're getting at, which is important. There's no 115 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: way that under this version of the law. 116 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 4: Trump could have been able to legally pay these funds 117 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 4: for a non disclosure agreement. And remember they keep calling 118 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 4: this a hush money trial. We tried to avoid using 119 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: that terminology here because that's not a crime. Paying hush money. 120 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: Is not a crime. It's a business rerecord. 121 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 4: It for a long time, this is. 122 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: A business records trial, which I've been saying all along. 123 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: We even talked to one of trump'sttorneys. I said, isn't 124 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: this a business record? The answer is yes. I'd also 125 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: know with John Edwards, because I think there's a tendency 126 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: for people to say, oh, well, they prosecuted. They try 127 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: to prosecute John Edwards for having a campaign like you know, 128 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: funder basically pay this woman and take care of her, 129 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: and that they were unsuccessful in the prosecution. But remember 130 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: John Edwards was done at that point. He was humiliated, 131 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: and he had aumiliated the Democrat Party as well. He 132 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 1: was no longer politically useful, So he was fair game 133 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: for any headhunting prosecutor that wanted to make a name 134 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: for himself. By the way, who was the prosecutor who 135 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: brought that charge or brought that case. You start to 136 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: look into this and you see there are some people 137 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: for whom public corruption cases are an opportunity to make 138 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: their own name. And it's really not about what's what's 139 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: fair and what's right. I think in this instance, Trump 140 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: was damned if he did damned if he didn't. And 141 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: that's that is, on its face, an unfair position to 142 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: put someone in. Legally, you can't say I'd prosecute you 143 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: if you did A, and I'd prosecute you, prosecute you 144 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: if you did B, and those are your only choices, right. 145 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: You can't put someone in that situation, and that is 146 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: what they have done to Donald Trump. You want to 147 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: get into the de Niro thing here for a second. 148 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: You saw they deployed de Niro. Yeah, downtime. I can't 149 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: believe this is real. They biden campaigns like, yeah, let's 150 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: go have Robert de Niro make our case for us. Uh, 151 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: this is him. Play three. 152 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 6: The Twin Towers fell just over here, just over there, 153 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 6: This part of the city was like a ghost town. 154 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 6: But we vowed we would not allow terrorists to change 155 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 6: our way of life, and we started the Tribeca Festival 156 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 6: to bring people back. 157 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: I love this city. 158 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 5: I love this city. 159 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 6: I don't want to destroy it. Donald Trump wants to 160 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 6: destroy not only the city, but the country and eventually 161 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 6: he could destroy the world. But we vowed we would 162 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 6: not allow terrorists. 163 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: They're yelling fjb for in case anyone doesn't couldn't hear 164 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: with what was going on that we had to bleep 165 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: that out. Obviously, yeah, bleep Joe Biden. But Clay, Donald 166 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: Trump wants to destroy New York City and the country 167 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: and the world. I mean, people, people who say this 168 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: discredit themselves just with that one with that one sentence, 169 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: or with that one paragraph of idiocy. 170 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 4: I just cannot imagine that you would think, Hey, the 171 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 4: guy that we need to bring this all home for 172 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 4: us as the trial is completed is Robert de Niro. 173 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 5: I mean, it's just. 174 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 4: Such a weird thing to do. De Niro has totally 175 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 4: lost his mind over Trump. And but even if you 176 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 4: were breaking this down, does anybody out there really trust 177 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 4: I mean Robert de Niro made a career playing gangsters 178 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 4: in in movies. I mean, it's not like this is 179 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 4: Tom Hanks, right, I mean somebody who was really beloved 180 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 4: for the characters that he played. 181 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: I also think most people realized actors weighing in on 182 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: politics is really just annoying and kind of sad because 183 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: they're mostly idiots who haven't had to deal in the 184 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: real world in any meaningful way and they've really just 185 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: won the lottery. 186 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 5: Well, that was the. 187 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 4: General perspective when the whole era that we grew up. Everybody, 188 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 4: whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or independent, would roll your 189 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 4: eyes when somebody won an Oscar and they got up 190 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 4: and they tried to lecture the American public. And then 191 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 4: in a social media age, suddenly these people started being 192 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: taken way more seriously. Maybe it's also I think it's 193 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 4: the reverse celebrity culture. I think it's the reverse. I 194 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 4: think that they were far more revered for their ideas 195 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 4: and politics because we were limited in our exposure to them. 196 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 4: Now we see these morons on Twitter and Facebook and whatever, unscripted, unfiltered, 197 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 4: and we're like, this person knows nothing. I mean, you know, 198 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 4: this is like Leonardo DiCaprio flying around in a private 199 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 4: jets to his climate change conferences and then tweeting about 200 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 4: the threat of climate change. 201 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: Like, we see who these people are now in a 202 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: way that before you might have bought into the mystique 203 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. So I just I see it differently. 204 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: I think that now we got there. I think actors 205 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: have never been more more undermined in the public mind 206 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: by their own stupidity. I think that they're at the 207 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: app so the peak of it now. 208 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 5: Oh. 209 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 4: I think that social media has made this whole idea 210 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 4: that everybody needs to use their platform and that we 211 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 4: should be I've seen it with athletics to such a 212 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 4: degree where it used to be everybody rolled their eyes, 213 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: and then suddenly people are like, you know, Lebron James 214 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: really does have really important things to say about the world. 215 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 4: I mean, this is the argument that people make. You're like, 216 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 4: I'm not sure Lebron James has read a book in 217 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 4: his life. There are a lot of idiot actors. I 218 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 4: remember back in the eighties and nineties, everybody would kind 219 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 4: of roll their eyes, and then it's like social media 220 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 4: suddenly tried to convince these people that everybody desperately was 221 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 4: concerned about what they say. But I mean, I don't 222 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 4: remember this like Robertson, like, who why is there a 223 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 4: press conference for Robert de Niro outside of the outside 224 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 4: of the tribe. That's crazy, right, I mean, the idea 225 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 4: that this would occur. I think they realized that Trump 226 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 4: has been able to use what's going on to some 227 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 4: degree to his advantage, which is to say, but Robert 228 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 4: de Niro is your is your is your is your counterweight? 229 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. Some people still think there's something that 230 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: you need to hear from Robert de Niro. My understanding is, 231 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 1: by the way, if he doesn't have a script, he's 232 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: one of these people that has nothing to say. 233 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 4: But I don't know, well, I mean, he's eighty almost, 234 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 4: he's on like his eighth wife or whatever the heck 235 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 4: it is. I think he just had a nasty divorce. 236 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: I think doesn't he have a baby? Doesn't he have 237 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 4: like a one year old? 238 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: Probably? 239 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 4: I mean, if you're over seventy and you have a baby, 240 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 4: I think in many ways you probably should have your 241 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 4: I'm probably gonna have eight kids after I'm seventy now, 242 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: and somebody's gonna clip this, But if you're over seventy 243 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 4: and you have a baby, I think your general decision 244 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 4: making should be questioned, right in general, and you think 245 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 4: I think people have never thought that celebrities were dumber 246 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 4: than they are now. 247 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: I think that our knowledge of celebrity stupidity is higher 248 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: now than it has ever been. O. 249 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 4: I'm concerned that we give way more credence to celebrity 250 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 4: opinions than we ever have. 251 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: We have the exact opposite take on this interesting Yah. 252 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I see these people now 253 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: and I'm like everyone because they always explain I'm impressed 254 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: by him. I'm just saying I think that they have 255 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: more of an influence now with the rise of social 256 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: media than they ever did back in the day. See, 257 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: I think they just have influence on social media among 258 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: their followers. And I think that most people who pay 259 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: attention to politics in any meaningful way realize that these 260 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: these celebrities are ignoramuses. And it's not you know, they 261 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: don't have the same like, oh, let's trot them. They'll 262 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: raise money with them. I mean they'll they'll use them 263 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: in certain ways. But the notion that you're going to 264 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: have I don't know. Maybe maybe I'm seeing it differently 265 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: as somebody who was in New York all those years. 266 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: But I think people realize that these celebrities are because 267 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: I remember it's happened with journalists for sure. By the way, 268 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: you know, you see people is somebody who can he 269 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: can make you think that he's a knowledgeable guy based 270 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: on the columns he rights. You hear him speaking, and 271 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: you see the way, and the same thing with Paul Krugman. 272 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: These people are not very bright. Actually they're not wise, 273 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: they're not knowledgeable, but they can cut away with pretending. 274 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: And because of Twitter and because of the more exposure 275 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: you see, you know that they're not impressive. I think 276 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: that that stretches to celebrities too, but I don't know. 277 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anyone Clay reads Lebron James's 278 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: tweets and goes, this guy has important things to say 279 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: about the world. Nobody who knows anything about the world, 280 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: at least the media does. 281 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 4: But we do agree the media has destroyed itself as 282 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 4: a collective whole with social media. It's just really kind 283 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 4: of exposed them. Roberts and Niro just had his seventh 284 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 4: child at eighty last to April. I mean, if you 285 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 4: are eighty years old and you have a child, what 286 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: in the world can you possibly be thinking. I mean, 287 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 4: to me, that's tangible evidence that your brain doesn't work. 288 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 4: I mean, best case scenario, you die at what when 289 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 4: your kids ten twelve years old? I mean, are you 290 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 4: expecting to live to be one hundred and ten? The 291 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: whole thing's pretty crazy, I want to tell you, by 292 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 4: the way, you know crazy. It's Tuesday evening.

It happened again over 295 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 4: the weekend, which is why the majority of residents live 296 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 4: with bomb shelters in their residences so they have protection.

I'm always really fascinated to see the 341 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 4: planned stories, and so this morning when I woke up 342 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,239 Speaker 4: and I started doing the reading to get ready for 343 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 4: the show, I was not surprised that one of the 344 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 4: first stories I saw that was published at five am 345 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 4: from Politico. I understand if a lot of you are 346 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: not Politico readers, but Politico is the inside Washington d 347 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 4: C news site that many read right up there with Axios. 348 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 4: But Politico obviously just focused on politics and their lead 349 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 4: story with three different writers bylined on it. Here's the headline. 350 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 4: DEM's in full blown freakout over Biden. One advisor sub headline. 351 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 4: One advisor to major Democratic donors keeps a running list 352 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 4: of the reasons Biden could lose. Listen to this opening 353 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 4: paragraph Buck. A pervasive sense of fear has settled in 354 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 4: at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President 355 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 4: Joe Biden's re election prospects, even among all office holders 356 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 4: and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming 357 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 4: battle with Trump. 358 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: And here's what they say. The gap. This is not 359 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: going to be a surprise. 360 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 4: This is a direct read from the article. The gap 361 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 4: between what Democrats will say on TV or in print 362 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: and what they'll text their friends has only grown as 363 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 4: worries have surged about Biden's prospects. You don't want to 364 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 4: be that guy direct quote who's on the record saying 365 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 4: we're doomed, or the campaign's bad, or Biden's making mistakes. 366 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 4: Nobody wants to be that guy, said a Democrat operative 367 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 4: in close contact with the White House. But Biden's poor 368 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 4: polling is creating a freak at freak out. This isn't 369 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 4: this is a great quote. Oh my god, Mitt Romney 370 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 4: might become president. It's oh my god, the democracy might end. 371 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 4: And there's so much detail in here, the fact that 372 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 4: Trump is now out raising him, the fact that there's 373 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 4: so many different aspects of this. They've spent twenty five 374 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 4: million dollars in battleground states. They are having real difficulty 375 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 4: now raising money. And again the polls have not worked. 376 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 4: The panic is setting in. So if there were to 377 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 4: be a not able to get a verdict in this case, 378 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 4: and then you follow it up, remember next week, Hunter 379 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 4: Biden goes on trial for his gun charges and is 380 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 4: likely to get hit with a felony. It's not only 381 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 4: that the lawfair is blowing up in Democrats' faces, it's 382 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 4: that Joe Biden's own son is almost assuredly going to 383 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 4: be considered a felon by next week. And this has 384 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 4: a lot of people super nervous. So my thought is 385 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 4: June twenty seventh for Biden, now Buck is make or break. 386 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 4: I still think there's gonna there's possibility they're gonna throw 387 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 4: him off the boat. 388 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: I like that, you s. 389 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 4: I don't want to say I don't want them to 390 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 4: do it because I think Biden is such a weak candidate. 391 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: I want him to be the nominee. 392 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 4: But I think the panic is growing to the point 393 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 4: where if he's bad on that June twenty seventh debate, 394 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 4: I think there's there there's trouble bruin. 395 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: There's no mechan Should we go through this all, everybody 396 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: one more time? 397 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 5: You get it. 398 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 4: You don't believe there's anybody powerful enough to force him out. 399 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: There is no mechanism through which they could do this. 400 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 1: They're going think about this. They already moved the DNC 401 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: convention clashing with Ohio state law. And if Ohio didn't 402 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: change the laws, which I guess that's underway because of 403 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 1: Mike the Wine, they would not have Biden on the ballot. 404 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 5: There. 405 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: You know, there are processes here too. It's not just 406 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: like you know, poof, we have a new person who's 407 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: at the top of the ballot. It's not like there's 408 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: a person who is the case. I mean, quite honestly, 409 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: if you're first of all, if it's not Biden, it's 410 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: Kamala that's why you have a vice president. There is 411 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: no way that you always talk about the fractured Democrat 412 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: or the fracturing of the Democrat coalition, the risk that 413 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: they take with the absolute core of the Democrat Party, 414 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: which is consistent black female voters who vote Democrat right, 415 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: the risk they take by skipping over Kamala Harris and 416 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: putting in like Gavin Newsom or something that that's just 417 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: a non starter. I know people say Michelle Obama is 418 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: a way to get around this, but you'd have to 419 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: have a unanimity within the party at the convention, which 420 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: you will not have. It'll be a messy fight of 421 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: a situation. You have to be convincing everybody not only 422 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: that Biden shouldn't be at the top of the ticket, 423 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: but that Kamala the vice president, should not take over. 424 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the whole point of a vice vice president 425 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: is that if for some reason the president can't do it, 426 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: and that's obviously what they would say. I think even 427 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: at this point they wouldn't say our guy can't get 428 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 1: it done in the election. They would say that there's 429 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: you know, we realize now because of the challenges, they 430 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: try to mold it together because of the challenges of 431 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: his schedule and everything. His age has caught up to him, 432 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: YadA YadA. We need somebody else. It has to be 433 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: uh Kamala Harris who steps in at that point, because 434 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: then it just shows that the whole thing is a 435 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: political calculation and they're throwing out the system and the 436 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: incumbancy that they have. But this is my whole point. 437 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: They're not gonna do it because if they do it, 438 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: they're ensuring Donald Trump is going to win. I mean, 439 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Let's think about this. You're you're prosecuting 440 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,239 Speaker 1: this guy, you got the cases going against him, and 441 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: your guy can't even make it across the finish line 442 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: to try to run again while he's the president. I mean, 443 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: the optics of this are terrible. So that's just for me. 444 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,640 Speaker 1: Oh but I was gonna say though, and this will 445 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: get people fired up ready for this win. Clay, you 446 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: know who the likeliest person is if you're talking, if 447 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: you're talking about the parachute situation, and I think you 448 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: get one hundred to one odds on this one, or 449 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: one to one hundred odds whatever. I think you get 450 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: one to one hundred odds on this one. Like it's 451 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: a one percent chance that this could happen, meaning that 452 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: anyone is replacing Biden and Kama Kama replacing Biden. I've 453 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: always said that could happen. 454 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 4: I to one on this one for a one, Okay, James, 455 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 4: you get paid off at one hundred to one. 456 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: Yea one hundred to one. I think you get a hundred. 457 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: You would have one hundred and one odds on this one. 458 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: You know who? I think the person would be Hillary Clinton. 459 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: I think it's likelier to be Hillary Clinton than it 460 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: is to be Michelle Obama. I think it's likely to 461 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: be Hillary Clinton than anybody else on the Democrat side 462 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: of things. She would say, uh, you know, I'm here 463 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: to finish the job for Joe. We've known each other forever. 464 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen was a fluke. And and you know, the 465 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: if she'd mentioned some stuff about Russia and I'm here 466 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: to I don't I would only serve one term or something. 467 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: I know, I'm old sacred democracy, YadA, YadA. Look, I 468 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: don't think this is going to happen either. But I'm 469 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: just saying, if you're talking total collapse of the Biden ticket, 470 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: and they did I them Hillary Clinton, they still they 471 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: still think that they're ready for her or whatever the 472 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: slogan was, like they now, I don't think this is 473 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: just to be clear, I think none of this is 474 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: going to happen. But to me, that's a far likelier 475 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: situation than when people start talking about Gretchen Whitmer, like 476 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: no one knows how Gretchen Widmer polls and any of 477 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: these like this whole thing is crazy. Gavin Newsom, Gavin 478 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: Newsom's a snake. 479 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 4: I actually think if they were so pretend that if 480 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 4: Michelle Obama said no, because I think that's how you 481 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 4: get over the black woman angle, which is why I've 482 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 4: been arguing they draft her, they bring her in at 483 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 4: the last minute. What I would say is Gretchen Whitmer 484 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 4: or Josh Shapiro in the battleground states the only route 485 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 4: right now if you look at the polling, and if 486 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 4: I understand people out there saying I don't trust the 487 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 4: poll okay in it, but walls. 488 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: Right a lot recently, so just to refair, Yeah. 489 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 4: And then when they're all telling the same story, yes, 490 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 4: could there be an exaggeration? Could Trump only be up 491 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 4: you know, in in in in in Georgia. Could he 492 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 4: only be up three or four instead of seven or eight. Yes, okay, 493 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 4: I can see that, but remember when he's outside the 494 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 4: margin of error in many of these states. Right now, 495 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 4: it looks like you have to win Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. 496 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 4: If I were just sketching for the Democrats, the best 497 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 4: scenario for them, I think it would be Shapiro Whitmer. 498 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 4: If Michelle Obama says no, Gavin Newsom I don't buy 499 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 4: into Kamala Harris would get beat worse if you took 500 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 4: two popular governors in the Midwest. Shapiro has got a 501 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 4: very high approval rating right now. I can't believe it, 502 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:02,239 Speaker 4: but Michiganers have given Gretchen Whitm decent, decent support. If 503 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 4: you look at the data, Whitmer seven or eight points 504 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 4: ahead of Biden in the state of Michigan. If you 505 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 4: could win those two and then you find a way 506 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 4: to get Wisconsin, you're gonna win the presidents. 507 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: But you have no way of making Gretchen Witmer and 508 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: Joshuapiro the top of the presidential ticket unless you're going 509 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: to somehow. 510 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 4: Have well, you would free up you would free up 511 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 4: all the delegates, right, That's what would have to happen. 512 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 4: Biden would say, I'm not running. I don't have the 513 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 4: physical capacity. I am not I mean Lyndon Johnson sixty eight. 514 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 4: He would do it after I think it would have 515 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 4: to be a disastrous performance. On June twenty seventh, he 516 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 4: would say, the state of the nation's too high. I 517 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 4: don't have the ability to do this, and we're going 518 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 4: to have an open, contested convention, and Democrats are going 519 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 4: to pick the best candidate to beat Trump. 520 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:55,680 Speaker 1: I agree with you. 521 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 4: I don't think it's Gavin Newsom. I don't think it's 522 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris. I don't think it's JB. 523 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: Pritzker. 524 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 4: If I'm looking at this strategically and Michelle Obama says no, 525 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 4: because I think she's by far the best option, then 526 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: the next best option is Shapiro in Pennsylvania and Whitmer, 527 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 4: some combination of a Midwest ticket that would win those 528 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 4: two states. 529 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: It's but it's gonna be Biden. I don't know what 530 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: else to say. It's just it's I've told you this 531 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: all all you. 532 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 5: Have to see. 533 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 4: On June twenty seven, what if Biden fell walking on 534 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 4: to the stage, Do you think there's nothing? 535 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: Then Eleve Kamala Harris, the the issue of a floor fight, 536 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: and and the different factions. You gotta remember there's all 537 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: these people who are pure egomaniacs who are in politics. 538 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: I mean, do you really think you really think, like, 539 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: what's her name, the fake Native American Elizabeth Warren. You 540 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: think that she's gonna just say, okay, like what's best 541 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: for the party. I'm just gonna stand aside. No, she's 542 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: gonna start pounding the table. 543 00:28:58,440 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 5: I'm gonna hold Wall Street a. 544 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 4: You know, she can do all the stuff that she 545 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 4: I agree, it would be riveting television, but I think 546 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 4: that's what they're gambling on. 547 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 5: So but think about what. 548 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: You throw the party in a disarray, you throw it 549 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: into a royal rumble situation. While and this is the 550 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: key thing, while you have an incumbent president, right, You're 551 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: you're bringing this all on yourself as a party. I 552 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: think the power of the incumbency is being underestimated here 553 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: because as things get closer and Democrats are piling in 554 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: more and more money and more and more dollars, and 555 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see how people are feeling. I think 556 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: the economy, because of inflation, they can't hide what's really 557 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: going on the way that they would like to, and 558 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that's likely to change. But I think 559 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 1: that there's a I think we're underestimating the machine here 560 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: a little bit, just because things look great in May 561 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: and things can change really fast. The Democrats what that's why, Buck? 562 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 4: I think the fact that the Politico piece says they've 563 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 4: spent twenty five million dollars in the battleground states, that's 564 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 4: a lot of money to spend, and the numbers have 565 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 4: gone down. I just think that what Democrats are recognizing 566 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 4: is a lot of people have made up their mind 567 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 4: and they know Trump and they know Biden, and nothing 568 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 4: is moving the numbers. And at some point you have 569 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 4: to start to say, Okay, if nothing's moved the numbers yet, 570 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 4: what are the levers we're going to pull that's going 571 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 4: to change the calculus that exist right now. And the 572 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 4: fact that they would write that political piece, which is 573 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 4: typically a left leaning site, that they would write that 574 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 4: piece on the Tuesday coming out of Memorial Day and 575 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 4: basically say, hey, there's a full blown panic going on. 576 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 4: The timing on it's super interesting to me. 577 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: I think we agree that if they if they convict 578 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: Trump in New York. I think it politically helps them 579 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: if they nationally speaking, Yeah, what if they actually put 580 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: them in a cell? 581 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 4: Oh, we need to talk about it, because there's a 582 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 4: report that they're seriously conducting discussions about it. 583 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: They they sure are. Everybody, we haven't really discussed this. 584 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: We haven't put that scenario out there a lot. We've 585 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: talked about it. But what if that's the move. They 586 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: are charging him with thirty four felonies, which is completely insane. 587 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: I think he could theoretically serve one hundred and fifty 588 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: years or something. But obviously it you know, it would 589 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: be like a year. But a year would be all 590 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: they need, right or six months would be all they need. 591 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. I I their desperation. We cannot underestimate 592 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: what the Democrat commies are willing to do given the 593 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: situation that they're in. That's just every day That's what 594 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: I'm thinking. I'm thinking, we cannot underestimate how underhanded they 595 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: are willing to be eight hundred two A two two 596 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: eight A two Clayton. I will come back onto this 597 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,239 Speaker 1: issue of the possible incarceration and more. You know, one 598 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: of the great product discoveries that I've had recently is 599 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: chad Mode.

Okay, 650 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: I wasn't found in bed with Stormy Daniels. I'm at 651 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: a Libertarian Party convention.

I mean, 654 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: if you know, why not look libertarian. It's you gotta 655 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: go through a libertarian face, probably in college. Okay, it's 656 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: a good time to go through it. We were like, 657 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 1: why can't we all just like do whatever we want, man, 658 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: and like the government like not exists. 659 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 5: Man. 660 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: It sounds great. Sounds great, but unfortunately the world's a 661 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: little more complicated than that. And I know that's a 662 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: little a little reductive and a little dismissive. But you know, 663 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: when libertarians lost me, I don't remember. I don't remember 664 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:32,240 Speaker 1: libertarians going to the to the mat over COVID stuff 665 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: at all at all.

I don't want to hear anything 670 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: that because because they failed the ultimate stress test. But 671 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: just put that aside for a second. Trump, Uh, Trump 672 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: was there, and I just want you to hear this exchange, Clay, 673 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: this is great. They started to boo. Trump went to 674 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: the Libertarian Party can which I'm sure is a great 675 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: place to find some really kind bud if you catch 676 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 1: my drift, probably some really excellent marijuana cigarettes. But here 677 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump talking libertarian folks in attendance, and they 678 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: got a little salty, little saucy with them. Play nine. 679 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 2: First time in US history that a presidential candidate of 680 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 2: a rival party will address the convention of a party 681 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 2: that is presumably gathering to nominate its own candidate. Now, 682 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 2: I think you should nominate me, or at least vote 683 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 2: for me, and we. 684 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: Should win together. You heard those words nominate. 685 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 2: Me or vote vote for me, because the Libertarians want to. 686 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 1: Vote for me, and most of them will. 687 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 2: That is why I'm committing to you tonight that I 688 00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 2: will put a libertarian in my cap and also libertarians 689 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 2: and senior posts. 690 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: Pretty good, that's pretty big. 691 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 2: Oh, you can't keep going the way you have for 692 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 2: the last long decades and get you three percent and 693 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 2: meet again, get another three percent. Now you want to 694 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 2: make yourself winners. It's time to be winners. You have 695 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,720 Speaker 2: a lot of common sense. It's time to be a winner. 696 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 2: Time to be winners. 697 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: Stop being losers. Join Trump. I'll make some libertarians senior 698 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: people my administration. This is what other politician, which other 699 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: politician in the country, could go into a room like that, 700 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: get get booed resoundingly and then turn about half of 701 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 1: it to applause and make the people booing look like 702 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: the imbeciles. The guy who is their nominee was my understanding, 703 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: a big masking guy. So the idea to your point 704 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: buck of so many libertarians being absent at the most 705 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: important moment of governmental overreach in any of our lives, 706 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: that they just abandoned the field and said, you know what, Yeah, 707 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 1: you're right. You shouldn't be able to go to church, 708 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,280 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to go to school, stand six. 709 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 4: Feet away from someone put on a mask. They demanded governance, 710 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 4: and their entire philosophy is supposed to be, hey, let 711 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 4: individuals make their own decisions. They didn't stand by their 712 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 4: principles at the time of COVID, when we most desperately 713 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 4: needed people to be willing to stand on principle. They were, 714 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 4: to a large extent absent. 715 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: Libertarians were completely completely mia during the COVID battle. That's 716 00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 1: just that's my impression of it. But I found a 717 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: lot of I found you. I found you, mister sportsman 718 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 1: over here. I didn't know what the sec was. I 719 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: found you because you were like masking as stupid, open 720 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: up the you know, the sporting events should happen again. 721 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: And I found a lot of other people, you know, 722 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: and Carol Markowa, it's in Jordan shack Tel and you know, 723 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: I go down the list. Jesse Kelly and I were 724 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: sitting around talking all the time about how crazy all 725 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: the mask stuff was, and libertarians were Mia man m 726 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: i A. They were, they totally. It was their moment 727 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,919 Speaker 1: to finally be worth something beyond legalizing marijuana, which also, 728 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: by the way, terrible. It's actually terrible for the country, 729 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 1: it's terrible for society. Put that aside, you know, legalizing 730 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: weed really important, and being able to breathe not with 731 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: a mask on not apparently that important. But I think 732 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: that Trump will get some of the libertarian vote because look, 733 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean Rand Paul I think philosophically is a libertarian, 734 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,360 Speaker 1: but he governs as a Republican, meaning he realizes the 735 00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: world that we're in and has to operate within the 736 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: framework that we have because he's an adult. Some of 737 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: them don't get mad at me over this. 738 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:48,359 Speaker 5: Buck. 739 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 4: As you well know, if you are in a battleground 740 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 4: state and you vote libertarian, you are voting for Joe Biden. 741 00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry you. 742 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 4: Just if you're listening to to us right now and 743 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 4: you're in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Virginia, maybe Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, 744 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 4: maybe even New Mexico, you don't have the luxury in 745 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 4: my opinion, to go out. I think you're wasting your 746 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 4: vote in those states. Now people say, oh, you voted 747 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 4: third party before, and I have, But I live in Tennessee. 748 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:27,920 Speaker 4: People make mistakes. I live in Tennessee. Republicans are going 749 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 4: to win Tennessee by twenty points. If you live in 750 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 4: a state, if you live in California, or you live 751 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 4: in New York or whatever it is, maybe New York 752 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,359 Speaker 4: can be a battleground state. Got to change my tune there. 753 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 4: Live in California, you live in Alabama, and you decide, hey, 754 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 4: you know what I really care about this libertarian issue. 755 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 4: Do whatever you want, because we know how the outcome 756 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 4: of those states is going to be when it comes 757 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 4: to the presidential election. But I'm sorry if you're listening 758 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 4: to us in Wisconsin and you show up and you 759 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 4: vote libertarian and you would otherwise vote Now, if you're 760 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 4: a big Biden person and you want to show displeasure 761 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 4: with Biden, I hope you dive right into the Libertarian 762 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 4: party because that's a vote taken away from Joe Biden. 763 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 4: But if you're trying to make a decision, you're sitting 764 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,840 Speaker 4: around right now and you're like boy, I don't know 765 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 4: Trump or the Libertarian candidate than Trumper RFK Junior. I 766 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 4: think that you are putting the worst president potentially of 767 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 4: any of our lives into the White House again. And 768 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 4: to me, that makes you a loser. And I'm sorry 769 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,480 Speaker 4: if that offends people. 770 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 5: Because they're not a loser. 771 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 4: Well, in this case, you're helping to ensure that the 772 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 4: worst president in any of our lives stays in office. 773 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 4: To me, that makes you a loser. So that's the 774 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 4: way that I would analyze this as it pertains to Libertarian, 775 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 4: to any other third party out there. And every time 776 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 4: I say this, people are widing in my mentions like, 777 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 4: well Trump isn't perfect on I get it. This is 778 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 4: the real world. Every single candidate it out there is 779 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,800 Speaker 4: not going to be your night in shining armor and 780 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 4: be perfect on everything. Biden's awful on virtually every single issue. 781 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 4: And oh, by the way, his brain doesn't work and 782 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 4: we're in danger of spiraling into World War three. This 783 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,240 Speaker 4: is not the time for you to be sitting around 784 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 4: going third party. In my always humble opinion. 785 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: Now, there have been times where we thought a brain 786 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:29,719 Speaker 1: didn't work, and maybe it was having some trouble, but 787 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: then it made something of a comeback. John Fetterman, Yeah, 788 00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: John Fetterman, we caught a transition that was by you, John, 789 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 1: really well done. Helped procure the release of the American 790 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: husband slash dad who got got arrested in Turks and 791 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: Caicos for the couple of rounds of loose ammunition in 792 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 1: his bag. Coming back, he was literally actually five of 793 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: these guys. Buck realize how many of their work, Five 794 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: different guys caught up in the same charges. And Fetterman, 795 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: my favorite Democrat senator you talk about an upset, decided 796 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 1: this is wrong and put himself in the mix and 797 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 1: got this resolved. Tell everybody Range for a bag for 798 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 1: the Range bags for everything else. Do not have a 799 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 1: Do not have a one bag that you use, you know, 800 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: one day for the office and one day for the Range. 801 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,400 Speaker 1: It's not worth it. You can get a bag on Amazon. 802 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 1: You know, you can get a Range bag for now 803 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,680 Speaker 1: thirty or forty bucks. Do not mix. In my opinion, 804 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,239 Speaker 1: and I've seen this, and I've been through this before, 805 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: and this was told me by, like I said, an 806 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 1: SF guy with decades of experience and had been all 807 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,920 Speaker 1: over the world traveling through airports because you know, in 808 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,360 Speaker 1: the Specops guys they'll sometimes just sort of fly, you know, 809 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 1: not necessarily military aircraft and anyway. But Fetterman back to 810 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: the point here, Fetterman helped get him back. It's good work, 811 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: good work by Fetterman. I mean, unless I'm missing something. No, 812 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: he he got involved and used some political pressure and 813 00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 1: brought back in, brought back one of ours, brought back 814 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: in American And he's really good on the Israel stuff. 815 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 2: I know. 816 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's a communist on a million other things. 817 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: And we'll say that when he says the bad things. 818 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: But Fetterman maybe the best Democrat senator in the Senate 819 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 1: right now. That may be the best Democrat of all 820 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: the senators, because I can't think of anything other Democrat 821 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: senators are doing worth a damn, So just throwing that 822 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 1: out there. 823 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 4: No, there's a big piece on him in the New 824 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,840 Speaker 4: York Times where he basically takes aim at the progressive 825 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 4: element of the Democrat Party and says that he doesn't 826 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 4: believe that they're right on a lot of things. I mean, 827 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 4: he's even said a lot of things that are right 828 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:39,080 Speaker 4: on the border, I think. And he went to he 829 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 4: went into rehab. I guess it was technically treatment for 830 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 4: mental health related issues at Walter reed and he came 831 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,920 Speaker 4: out and I don't know if he felt liberated in 832 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:56,320 Speaker 4: some way, but he came out as the sanest Democrat senator. 833 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,320 Speaker 4: And he's been right on a lot of things. And 834 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 4: this is the thing sample. 835 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: I just I think I underestimated the guy. I'm not 836 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,360 Speaker 1: saying he's amazing on everything or anything like that, but 837 00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: I think, go under it. I'll just admit it. I 838 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: underestimated the guy. He's actually shown shown some ability to 839 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 1: make the right call on a few things, on a 840 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: few things that matter. So there you go. I think 841 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: I I think I got that one a little off, 842 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: a little wrong. 843 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 4: I did too, And this is an example of how 844 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 4: a senator can use his force to actually tangibly get 845 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 4: something good. We talked about the fact that Turks and Kkos, 846 00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 4: there are five different individual men from the United States 847 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,240 Speaker 4: who were being held in face twelve years in prison 848 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:44,239 Speaker 4: over this issue, variety of different states. Fetterman went to 849 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 4: Turks and Caicos and basically said, this is ridiculous. Let's 850 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 4: get this solved. 851 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 1: This is also why you know men's rea and he 852 00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: just goes back to English common law, goes back to 853 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:59,800 Speaker 1: the constitution and just a fundamentally just society, you know. 854 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: So a total accident is a total accident. 855 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. I know. 856 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 1: There are some strict liability crimes and things like that, 857 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 1: the very few of them, and that's a good thing. 858 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,720 Speaker 1: But you know, if you didn't mean to do anything 859 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,320 Speaker 1: wrong and something happened, that should always at least be 860 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,279 Speaker 1: taken into account. And in most cases, I think it's 861 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,719 Speaker 1: hard to argue that somebody is a unless they're you know, 862 00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: there's recklessness. There are things, But if somebody, you know, 863 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 1: forgetting to take your illegally owned bullets out of your 864 00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,399 Speaker 1: bag when you're at the range and you're traveling somewhere else, 865 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: there is no harm done to anyone, there is no 866 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: risk to anyone, and there's no intent to break any laws, 867 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,400 Speaker 1: and that should all be taken into account. 868 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,839 Speaker 4: Also, somehow they didn't get caught going to the island, right, 869 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 4: which is another part of this. They only got caught 870 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 4: returning after they had already arrived at the island, So 871 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 4: they went through TSA or whatever else and didn't get 872 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 4: flagged as. 873 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 1: Messed up as our system is in this country. You 874 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 1: would as an American, you would rather be an our 875 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: justice system than anybody else's, I'll tell you that. And 876 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: it's not even close. 877 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,359 Speaker 4: So all five of these guys got failed, arguably by 878 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 4: our TSA, because if they had gotten caught, the punishment 879 00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 4: would have been far less significant. They would have never 880 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 4: gotten there with that ammunition. They somehow got through our 881 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,799 Speaker 4: security before they were able to return.

And I will, 914 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 1: I will just it was only you know, it was 915 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: three years and two months. It was like July of 916 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and I remember you were saying it, 917 00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,160 Speaker 1: and we let you say it, and we believed that, 918 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,320 Speaker 1: you know, you knew what you were talking about. But 919 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: at the time that was a oh my gosh moment 920 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 1: for a lot of people. 921 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, no, I mean it it was. And look, 922 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 5: as we know, three years later, COVID he's with us, 923 00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 5: it will be with us forever. The vaccines, you know, 924 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 5: did not change that. You know, no one's going to 925 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 5: get smallpox, no one's going to get polio, but people 926 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 5: aren't going to get COVID. That's that's difference between a 927 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 5: real vaccine and what was sold to us in twenty 928 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 5: twenty one. And the fact of the public health and 929 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 5: I know this is not really what we're talking about today, yeah, 930 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 5: but the fact that the public health authorities and the 931 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 5: you know, and the and the media on the left 932 00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 5: won't just admit that. Okay, just admit that and then 933 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 5: we can go from there, like, admit that you promised 934 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,760 Speaker 5: something that didn't happen and maybe you'll get some trust back. 935 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,839 Speaker 1: Maybe, And they're not doing that at all. In fact, 936 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 1: what and just what we wanted to have you want 937 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:28,879 Speaker 1: to talk about I just play. I wanted to give 938 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,680 Speaker 1: him the occasional victory lap here because you know, some 939 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 1: people were right, some people were wrong on this one. 940 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 1: Alex was right, big time, bigly, huge correct. You could say, 941 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: Alex Fauci's top advisor. Fox had a story on this 942 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 1: just last week, offering apologies and excuses for COVID email revelations. 943 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,280 Speaker 1: This was up on the House What House Oversight Committee 944 00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: hearing and it turns out that some of the top 945 00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: fauciites were hiding hiding email correspondence about all this stuff. 946 00:50:58,560 --> 00:50:59,759 Speaker 1: What can you tell us about all this? 947 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,040 Speaker 5: So this is really an amazing story, and I and 948 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,359 Speaker 5: you know, we're really only I think actually in early 949 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,800 Speaker 5: innings on this believe it or not. So look in 950 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,160 Speaker 5: you know, the beginning of twenty twenty, COVID comes, you know, 951 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,880 Speaker 5: comes out right in China and Wuhan, China. There's this 952 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 5: new respiratory virus, and almost immediately there's a concerted campaign 953 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 5: at the top of the US scientific establishment to say 954 00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:31,719 Speaker 5: this can't have come from a lab. Yes, there was 955 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 5: a lab in Wuhan called the Wuhan Institute of Virology, 956 00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,719 Speaker 5: but No, it did not come from there. If you 957 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 5: say it came from there, you're racist or any Chinese. 958 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 5: You can say that Chinese ran discussing what markets and 959 00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,000 Speaker 5: you know, flaughtered animals live and you know, but that's fine, 960 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,120 Speaker 5: but do not say this came from a lab. It's 961 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,239 Speaker 5: not the result the lab work. And I mean, and 962 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 5: that was not that was not subtle. It was very 963 00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:01,800 Speaker 5: loudly proclaimed. Okay. So what we now know on the 964 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 5: sort of scientific side is that it's quite likely that 965 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,120 Speaker 5: it did come from that lab, okay, as anybody with 966 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 5: the brain sort of could have thought, was at least 967 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 5: a real possibility at the time, because because as John 968 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 5: Stewart famously said in twenty twenty one, if there's a 969 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 5: giant chocolate leak in Hersey, in Hershey, Pennsylvania, maybe with 970 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 5: the chocolate factory, Okay, maybe all the risky work these 971 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,360 Speaker 5: guys were doing at this lab had something to do 972 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 5: with the emergence of this virus. Okay. So that's part one. Okay, 973 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 5: Then part two is it turned And this is what 974 00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 5: we're coming to now in twenty twenty four, we still 975 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 5: don't have evidence out of China. We don't have you know, 976 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,320 Speaker 5: we're probably never going to get inside that lab or 977 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,840 Speaker 5: probably never being an independent investigation. But what is coming 978 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 5: out now is the is the cover up of the 979 00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 5: cover up, okay, the US led cover up of the 980 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 5: Chinese cover up, which is there were people at the 981 00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 5: very top of NIH and I'm not saying that they 982 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 5: knew that they were certain that this was a lab leak, 983 00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 5: but they were certainly worried about it, and they knew 984 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,839 Speaker 5: they knew that the US had funded research that looked 985 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,960 Speaker 5: very bad in the light of what had happened in China, 986 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 5: and they went out of their way to discourage these 987 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 5: you know, anybody, any independent journalists, any you know, scientists 988 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:29,040 Speaker 5: from investigating this. And then as people started to try 989 00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,880 Speaker 5: to get to what was happening inside aniation, and this 990 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,040 Speaker 5: is really what came out last week. These people did 991 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 5: everything they could to hide their actions. They deleted emails, 992 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 5: they used their Gmail accounts, they tried to have phone 993 00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 5: conversations instead of you know, instead of anything that they 994 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 5: would have to turn over. And the guy you're talking about, 995 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,359 Speaker 5: his name David Morens. David Morrin's a very long time 996 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,920 Speaker 5: advisor to fault you more than two decades. And the documents. 997 00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 5: I mean, it's very very rare to see documents this 998 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 5: damning come out where David Morren's actually said, I'm not 999 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,320 Speaker 5: going to use my official email accounts. I want to 1000 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:11,200 Speaker 5: use Gmail. It's not foilable. And you guys, the people 1001 00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,839 Speaker 5: he was emailing with should do the same. And by 1002 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,000 Speaker 5: the way, if I have important documents, and this is 1003 00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,920 Speaker 5: the part where we're just beginning to see the next step, 1004 00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,320 Speaker 5: if I have important documents to give to Tony, to 1005 00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 5: Anthony Spaucci, that man at the center of all of this, 1006 00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,920 Speaker 5: I give them to him in person or at his home, 1007 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 5: or I use his Gmail account. So what that means 1008 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 5: is that Tony Fauci, we need to know what documents 1009 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 5: he got, and there are going to be people who 1010 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,600 Speaker 5: know that. There's going to be places. These documents are 1011 00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,839 Speaker 5: our chives. We just have to get to them. 1012 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 4: Okay, Alex, you're a former New York Times reporter. When 1013 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,640 Speaker 4: I hear everything that you just laid out, if we 1014 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:59,840 Speaker 4: had a truly honest and not propagate Gamda Layden me, 1015 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 4: wouldn't this be the equivalent of if you're a great 1016 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,839 Speaker 4: white shark, they're being just tons of chum in the water. 1017 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 4: And this be something that an honest media would aggressively 1018 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,480 Speaker 4: cover and go after. At the time, Fauci was correct 1019 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 4: me if I'm wrong, the highest paid employee in all 1020 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,239 Speaker 4: of the federal government. He's been testifying like crazy in 1021 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 4: front of Congress. Wouldn't this be the actual perfect distillation 1022 00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 4: of going after powerful people if we had an honest media. 1023 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,520 Speaker 4: Wouldn't The New York Times, the Washington Post, these usual 1024 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 4: supposed vanguards of protecting the democratic process, wouldn't they be 1025 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 4: after this? So far it appears they aren't. As a 1026 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,279 Speaker 4: former New York Times reporter, just analyze where we are 1027 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:53,879 Speaker 4: that that could be the case. 1028 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, you're you're absolutely correct. I mean, here's 1029 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 5: an amazing thing. Okay, last week the demo, it wasn't 1030 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 5: as the Republicans on this House committee. The Democrats said 1031 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 5: to David Morns, we can't believe this, we can't believe 1032 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 5: that you said this stuff and that you did this stuff. 1033 00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:14,680 Speaker 5: And one of them, a Democratic congressman from Maryland, actually 1034 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 5: basically told them to stop testifying that he was that 1035 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 5: he was, you know, creating criminal problems for himself in 1036 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,839 Speaker 5: doing so. I mean, he didn't come out and say 1037 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,440 Speaker 5: that explic'tly, but that was definitely the subtext of what 1038 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,719 Speaker 5: was said to David Warrens last week. So the Democrats 1039 00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,399 Speaker 5: are in front of the media on this. That's what's 1040 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,080 Speaker 5: so unbelievable. And you're absolutely right. This is you know, COVID, 1041 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,959 Speaker 5: COVID killed You know, we can we can talk about 1042 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 5: who died, but COVID killed a lot of people in 1043 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, millions of people worldwide. And that's absolutely 1044 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,680 Speaker 5: the case. The US, you know, US lab work or 1045 00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 5: US funded lab work may have had something to do 1046 00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 5: with that. We don't know, but certainly there's very good 1047 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,479 Speaker 5: you know, there's a lot of circumstantial evidence Tony found 1048 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,000 Speaker 5: you was at the middle of all of this. Now 1049 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:04,200 Speaker 5: we know Tony Fauci and people close to him appear 1050 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 5: to have gone out of their way to have violated 1051 00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 5: federal records. Love, I mean, yes, how is this not 1052 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:13,160 Speaker 5: How is this not a story that every good journalist 1053 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,920 Speaker 5: in the in the in the country is not bang at. 1054 00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,520 Speaker 5: It's an incredible story. 1055 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 1: It absolutely is. I mean I'm seeing here. I forgot 1056 00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 1: to say, there's no worry about Foyas. This is one 1057 00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 1: of these emails I can either send stuff to Tony 1058 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,160 Speaker 1: on his private Gmail or hand it to him at 1059 00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 1: work or at his house. He is too smart to 1060 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 1: let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble. Okay, 1061 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: that's from Niad nih from David Moraan. 1062 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,439 Speaker 5: It's incredible. It's you know, look, I wrote a stack 1063 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 5: about this. If you don't want to read the House 1064 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,000 Speaker 5: Committee report, which is thirty five pages of just you know, 1065 00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,320 Speaker 5: one document after the next, read read the stack. It 1066 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,520 Speaker 5: you don't take you five minutes. It's free. You can 1067 00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 5: look at it. But and by the way, there's something 1068 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 5: else when you go look at the underlying documents, because 1069 00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 5: there's one hundred and fifty five hates of emails that 1070 00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,680 Speaker 5: and a couple of like transcripts of zoom calls that 1071 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 5: the House also released. The way they that mourns and 1072 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 5: Moreen is a huge Fauchet partisan. The way he talks 1073 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 5: about Fauci is incredible. Fauch comes off sort of like 1074 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 5: like a jag or Hoover figure, like he's incredibly powerful, 1075 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 5: he's touchy. You have to sort of maneuver him. You 1076 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 5: can't tell him what to do. The only people he 1077 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 5: will even pretend to listen to have to have a 1078 00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,400 Speaker 5: Nobel prize at the you know, or you know, or 1079 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 5: be like the head of a university. He comes off, 1080 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 5: as you know, basically an egomaniac and and you know, 1081 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 5: somebody who has to be handled with kid gloves. And 1082 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,480 Speaker 5: it is incredible to see this discussion of him. And 1083 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:46,439 Speaker 5: then there's another document where and where where these where 1084 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:51,840 Speaker 5: Morns starts talking about other scientists and basically he categorizes 1085 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 5: them not by their intelligence or by you know, the 1086 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:57,280 Speaker 5: work that they've done, but solely by whether or not 1087 00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 5: they are pro or anti Fauci, and pro or anti 1088 00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,800 Speaker 5: being willing to look at the possibility of a lamp 1089 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 5: week It's it's it's it's sort of the worst kind 1090 00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,840 Speaker 5: of partisanship, only this guy's supposed to be a scientist. 1091 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,480 Speaker 5: It's really amazing to see. 1092 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,280 Speaker 4: Do you think, based on everything that you have seen? 1093 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,440 Speaker 4: Rand Paul has been beating this drum senator from Kentucky 1094 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 4: for a long time that he feels very confident that 1095 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,640 Speaker 4: Fauci lied in front of Congress, that there would be 1096 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 4: perjury charges that would be justified. Do you think again, 1097 00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 4: asking the same kind of question that I did about 1098 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:33,800 Speaker 4: the New York Times in the Washington post. Do you 1099 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 4: think if we had a completely honest Department of Justice, 1100 00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:40,360 Speaker 4: which sadly we do not, do you think Anthony Fauci 1101 00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 4: should base charges criminally for his testimony based on what 1102 00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:45,800 Speaker 4: you have seen. 1103 00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,360 Speaker 5: I don't want to. I don't want to definitively say 1104 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 5: yes today, Yet I think the investigation is going that way. 1105 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,200 Speaker 5: I think that Peter Dazak, who was sort of this 1106 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,480 Speaker 5: you know, this independent this independent group that was a 1107 00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,000 Speaker 5: conduit for money between the US and China. I mean, 1108 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,840 Speaker 5: it certainly looks like Dazac should face contempt of Congress 1109 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,760 Speaker 5: charges and other criminal charges more in the same thing. 1110 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,440 Speaker 5: Whether you get to Fauci at this point, you know, 1111 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 5: I think it's close, But I think I think you'd 1112 01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,960 Speaker 5: want one of those guys to slip before you would 1113 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 5: do that. It's all kind of irrelevant anyway, because the 1114 01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 5: Justice Department, as you say, look Andy Slavitt, who in 1115 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 5: particular is a figure in particular interest to me. Flabbott 1116 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,400 Speaker 5: was in the White House, and he's the guy who 1117 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,040 Speaker 5: tried to get Twitter and ultimately you know, succeeded in 1118 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 5: getting Twitter in banning me in twenty twenty one. He 1119 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 5: has refused to testify before Congress, and the Justice Department 1120 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,440 Speaker 5: has said they will not prosecute him for contempt of 1121 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,880 Speaker 5: Congress charges. So so, so the you know, the Biden 1122 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:48,920 Speaker 5: White House, you know, they complained constantly about Trump politicizing 1123 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 5: the DOJ. They are you know, just as bad, if 1124 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 5: not worse they you know, so I don't think we're 1125 01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 5: gonna see that at the moment with Fauci unless unless 1126 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 5: you know, Moren's actually lips or something like that. 1127 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,960 Speaker 4: Okay, last question for you, and I mean again, I 1128 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,440 Speaker 4: think that if we had an honest media and an 1129 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 4: honest Department of Justice, this would be such an unbelievable story. 1130 01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:14,479 Speaker 4: What's the latest on the COVID shots themselves? Are people 1131 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 4: just going to pretend that this whole era never happened? 1132 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 4: It seems basically no one's getting boosters anymore. Stock prices 1133 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,320 Speaker 4: for Pfizer and Maderna to a large extent have tanked. 1134 01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:27,160 Speaker 4: Where are we now on the actual shots? 1135 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 5: I mean, that's about right if you and it's not 1136 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:32,920 Speaker 5: just in the US, by the way, if you look 1137 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 5: sort of worldwide, I mean, you know, a country like 1138 01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:40,280 Speaker 5: Singapore which had near total compliance with the first two 1139 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 5: shots and the booster they you know, they're complaining that 1140 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,840 Speaker 5: COVID is coming back and saying that more than eighty 1141 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 5: percent of people you know didn't get a booster in 1142 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 5: the last year. I mean that's Singapore, you know, Australia, 1143 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 5: same thing, the US, same thing people, you know. So 1144 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,640 Speaker 5: the sort of the back guard argument that the pro 1145 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:00,720 Speaker 5: vaccine people things, oh well, we all have community now, 1146 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,640 Speaker 5: so you know, that's why COVID isn't as bad. We'd 1147 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,240 Speaker 5: like you to get shots, but don't get them. The 1148 01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 5: truth is, the shots basically failed. Almacrom is more mild, 1149 01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,480 Speaker 5: everyone got it, and now people, I think people are 1150 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,760 Speaker 5: just done with COVID. You know, we've talked about this before, right, 1151 01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 5: people are done with COVID. They're done with the shots. 1152 01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 5: You know, MR and AS have sort of left a 1153 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,960 Speaker 5: bad you know, a lot of people got sick, a 1154 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,919 Speaker 5: lot of people had bad responses to the MR and AS, 1155 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 5: and I think a lot of sort of at least 1156 01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 5: healthy people under fifty or sixty are left wondering whether 1157 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,040 Speaker 5: they would have been better off just getting COVID and 1158 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:37,640 Speaker 5: being done with it.
