You know, I was 23 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: thinking too about the fact that here we have Joe 24 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: Biden wanted to tout the infrastructure bill, right, the only 25 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: thing that his administration has been able to pass as 26 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: this bipartisan and refer to Republicans as their friends. And 27 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm just like, the more that I sit with this, 28 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: the more that I just get enraged at the state 29 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: of stupidity and fuckery that we are in. That Democrats 30 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: who are supposed to be We're supposed to be our 31 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: saving grace from the hell scape that was the Trump 32 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: administration are literally just taken out guns and shooting themselves 33 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: in the foot, are just finding any way any way 34 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: to lose. And this is the thing is that you know, 35 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: you already know how this is going to play out 36 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: in the next eight months. We know how Democrats are 37 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: going to blame this, blame their loss in the midterm 38 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: election once again on being too progressive, you know, giving 39 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: the people the base too much of what it is 40 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: that they want. Meanwhile, they gave us absolutely fucking nothing, right, like, 41 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: absolutely not a goddamn thing, And it's going to be 42 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: the same cycle of bullshit like, oh, we need to 43 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: move for they're to the center. Republicans get to move 44 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: as far off right as fucking possible off of a 45 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: goddamn cliff, and we keep chasing behind them. The party 46 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: keeps chasing behind them, moving us further and further. So 47 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: their extreme What used to be considered a moderate Republican 48 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: is now just the new Fengal Democrat and their plan 49 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: is fucking winning. And it says if no one, no 50 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: one is paying attention. So when I saw the headline 51 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: with Joe Mansion and I'm just like, just become a Republican. 52 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: Can you just change just change parties? I honestly I 53 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: don't care. People say, oh my god, Danielle, then things 54 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: will get so much worse. Uh huh, They're gonna get 55 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: worse regardless, Right. I have said this so many times 56 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: over that things are going to get bloodier in this 57 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: country before they get better. We are headed into the 58 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: fucking dark ages. Friends. Okay, so light a match, because 59 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: that's the only light that you're going to be seeing. 60 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: And so the idea here is just like, let's just 61 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: all tell the fucking truth. Joe Mansion is not a Democrat. 62 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion doesn't sit with Democrats, he doesn't fucking vote 63 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: with Democrats. So what exactly are we holding onto? Because 64 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: the fifty fifty split is just that, right like, there 65 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: is no power here, whatever power, whatever procedural power that 66 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: Democrats have, they're not using, right Chuck Schumer is not 67 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: using it. He's not using the power that he has 68 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: right now in the way that Mitch McConnell would if 69 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: there was a fifty fifty split. So, you know, I'm 70 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: so tired of us pretending that these people are our 71 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: friends when they're telling you, showing you out in fucking public, 72 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: that they don't fuck with you. And it's obscene, obscene. 73 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: Do you know what else is obscene? Fucking Merrick Garland 74 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: sloth ass, That's what's obscene. This fucking slow walk in 75 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: backwards motherfucker? Who has yet, who has yet with his 76 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: Department of Justice to get us any type of justice 77 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: with regard to the insurrection and the organizers of the insurrection. 78 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care anymore about the little people, 79 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: right the little foot soldiers that went in and shit 80 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: inside of the Capital. Bill, I don't give a fuck. 81 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: I care about the people that brought them there. So 82 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: now we have right the one six Commission doing literally 83 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: all of the heavy lifting, over five hundred interviews, right, 84 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: millions of documents lining up the fact and saying so 85 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: in a California court that there was criminal activity, that 86 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: the former president of the United States committed crimes, he 87 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: defrauded the American people. You would think that after this 88 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: bombshell news drop last week, that Merritt Garland's Justice Department 89 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: would be announcing the seizure of American oligarchy, from the 90 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: Murdocks to the Cookes, to the Trumps, to the Eastman's, 91 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: to the mcconnells, to whomever they believe in suspect was 92 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: in part of funding the fucking insurrection. But no, do 93 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: you know what a task force that the Department of 94 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: Justice decides to announce, Oh, the task force to go 95 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: after the Russian oligarchs. They moved like this ten days 96 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: into war. Ten days into war, and the Department of 97 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: Justice created an entire task force to go after Russian oligarchs. 98 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: We are a year, right, a year in three fucking 99 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: months following the insurrection. Where the fuck is the Department 100 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: of Justice's task force? Where the fuck was the press 101 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: conference that he gave with his tepid bullshit that would 102 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: tell us here's what it is that we're doing so 103 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: that we can have some transparency and fucking accountability. But no, 104 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: the only smoke that America has right, the only tough 105 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: talk that they do is about other nations securing other 106 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 1: countries democracies right now. Folks will say to me, you know, Danielle, well, 107 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, there's really there's a lot of important things 108 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: going on. You know, we're talking about a potential nuclear crisis. 109 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: If you don't think that the upending of America's democracy 110 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: isn't just as dangerous as the potential fucking nuclear attacks 111 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: that we are facing. If you do not think right, 112 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: just imagine what would be happening right now if Donald 113 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: Trump was president. Do you think that we would be 114 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: working with NATO. No, we fucking would not. We would 115 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: be working with Putin Right, America would have formed a 116 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: new access of evil. This is what we are talking 117 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: about when we say that the state of our democracy, 118 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: the fate of the free world is resting on what 119 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: it is that the Department of Justice is choosing not 120 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: to do. They want to talk about, oh, securing institutions 121 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: and agencies and all of this bullshit, and at the 122 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: same time going and putting full weight money and resources 123 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: into getting Russian oligarchs and doing nothing about the Trump 124 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: family that literally literally we know our frauds. Everything they 125 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: touch has been shut down, folks, Right, Their university shut 126 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: down because it was a fucking money grammed scheme, just 127 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: like their entire time in the White House. But it's 128 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: as if Merrick Garland and everybody just wants us to 129 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: forget about it. Let's turn the page, Let's turn the page. 130 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: It is mind boggling where we are mind boggling to 131 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: me because you have the only people that are doing 132 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: work right now are people without the actual teeth to 133 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: bring criminal charges. So we have a couple of cases, right, 134 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: we know that Alvin Bragg, the new Manhattan DA ain't 135 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: doing dick right because we had the two prosecutors that 136 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: quit two weeks ago, right who By the way, when 137 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: we talk with our friend Glenn Kushner in a minute, 138 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: Glenn will tell us that Alvin Bragg, when Foyer requests 139 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: came in, Freedom of Information Act came in to say 140 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: they reporters want to see the fucking resignation letters of 141 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: the two prosecutors that quit.

Right, 146 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: and I keep saying, follow the money. Why did Alvin Bragg, right, 147 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: who is backed by Bloomberg and others, why did he 148 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: decide after his predecessor called for a special grand jury 149 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: to sit for a longer period of time, Because that's 150 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: how much evidence there is to indict Donald Trump, that 151 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: then he would get in and decide that, oh no, 152 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: we're not going to do this. Who gave to his campaign? 153 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: Check his fucking bank accounts. I'm just tired, folks, I'm 154 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: exhausted by this bullshit. I'm exhausted by these people that 155 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: have power and don't do anything. So we have Tish James, right, 156 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: we still got Tish James. But Tish James is dealing 157 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: with a civil suit. That's not jail time, right, that's 158 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: shutting down Trump organization. That's maybe millions of dollars in 159 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: fines and shuttering their business. But guess what, They will 160 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: just pop up under a new shingle with a different name. 161 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: We need fucking prosecution for crimes, crimes against the people 162 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: of this country. Not only have we talked about it 163 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: so many times with Glenn about the fact that he 164 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: believes that there is a criminal negligent case in terms 165 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: of COVID. Right, Donald Trump knew how dangerous COVID was, 166 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: he knew how transmissible it was in December of twenty nineteen, 167 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: and he did nothing except lie to the American people 168 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: and tell us that it was a hoax, tell the 169 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: world that it was a democratic hoax. Now we're at 170 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: almost a million people dead. No one is being held 171 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: responsible for that. And my question is why you know, 172 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: And I said this last week on Woke Wednesday, I said, 173 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, the problem here is money in politics. That's 174 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: the problem is that everybody is being paid off, right, 175 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: everyone is being paid off. And we are hoping what 176 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: that these people are going to investigate themselves. We're hoping 177 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: that magically they're just going to do the right thing 178 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: because of what their morals. Oh, it's just you know, folks, 179 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: there is so much cowardice that I am seeing right 180 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: now from our leaders from these elected officials, and when 181 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: we lose, when we lose in November, it isn't going 182 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: to be Republicans faults. It isn't because we have nothing 183 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: to show. We have nothing to show. I have no 184 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: idea what those people were standing up and clapping for. 185 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: With the state of the Union. I'll say it again, 186 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: the state of our Union is basura. It is trash trash. 187 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: But everybody's walking around like everything is a okay, like 188 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: our impending doom as we're watching war unfold, right that, folks, 189 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: what is happening there is going to happen here, except 190 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: it's not going to be a foreign invasion and we're 191 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: doing nothing to stop it, not one good goddamn thing. 192 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: So in the coming weeks, in the coming months, is 193 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 1: Merritt Garland gonna wake the fuck up? Right? Is Joe 194 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: Biden gonna start to actually realize that these people that 195 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: he keeps calling his friends are not that if given 196 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: the opportunity, they would build the guillotine and hang his 197 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: ass out front, that as soon as Republicans get power back, 198 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: that they're going to begin impeachment proceedings and just base 199 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: it on bullshit. And then everybody who's gonna once again 200 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: look around all fucking shocked, like, oh my god, this 201 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: came out of nowhere. I just I don't understand how 202 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: it happened. Negligence is how it happened, folks. Coming up 203 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: next is my conversation Weekly conversation. We're so grateful for 204 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: his time with Glen Kershner, who is going to walk 205 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: us through where we are with the one six Commission 206 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: where he believes that the Department of Justice is going 207 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: to end up and whether or not we're gonna see 208 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: testimony right from Kimberly Gilfoyle, who is the coked up, 209 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: fucking fiancee of the other the other coked up one 210 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: Trump Junior, and see whether or not we're gonna get 211 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: anything other than I plead the fifth over a hundred 212 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: and fifty times like every other Trump spawn is done. 213 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: That's coming up next, folks. I have been waiting for 214 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: this conversation with our friend MSNBC legal analyst and host 215 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: of Justice Matters Glenn Kirshner to walk us through the 216 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: one six Commission's conclusion that they believe that Donald Trump 217 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: and company, including Eastman, may have committed actual crimes and 218 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: in saying so, in saying that Eastman may have committed crimes, 219 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: meaning that he is no longer able to use his 220 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: privilege right of confidentiality between him and Donald Trump. Glenn, 221 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: make us make this make sense? Is this? Should we 222 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: be energized by this? Should we get excited? Or should 223 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: I not go head out too far on the limb 224 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: with this latest reporting from the Commission in the New 225 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: York Times, this is a decidedly good development. But even 226 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: more important than this development in isolation, as I'm with 227 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: Joy last night doing a pretty extended one on one 228 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: for which I was grateful, and I told her, I said, 229 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: you know, this has actually brought something into full focus 230 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: for me. Maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake, 231 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: but here's what we can now say. We have three 232 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: coequal branches of government. Only one has the power to 233 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: prosecute people. But let's look at what the other two 234 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: have said and done regarding Donald Trump's crimes. How Select 235 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: Committee one is conducting this unbelievably deep, broad, far reaching investigation. 236 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: I don't care call it what you will. It's a 237 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: criminal investigation. And what that investigation has produced after more 238 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: than five hundred and fifty witnesses and countless documents is 239 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: a court filing and I have it here John Eastman 240 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: versus Benny Thompson and Danielle This court filing was signed 241 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: by more than a dozen lawyers, some of whom I 242 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: know well and worked with. These are deadly serious people. 243 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: There is not a Roodie or a Sydney Powell anywhere 244 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: near the signature page of this mega pleading in federal court. 245 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: In this pleading, it says how Select Committee has developed 246 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: evidence that Donald Trump committed fraud against the United States, 247 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: against the people of the United States, and obstructed the 248 00:17:53,720 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: congressional proceeding designed to give Joe Biden his win. But 249 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: the House Select Committee, Congress, the legislative branch, can't prosecute anybody, 250 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: but they're acting as prosecutors. Let's shift over to the 251 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: other coequal branch of government, the judiciary. Judges have been 252 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: screaming from the rooftops in the cases where the foot soldiers, 253 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: the people who breached the capital are being prosecuted. They said, listen, 254 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: Department of Justice, we understand that you're prosecuting the people 255 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: who actually invaded the capital and committed crimes, and we 256 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: appreciate that, but they are but pawns in Donald Trump's game, 257 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: and then recently, Federal Court Judge A meet Meta said 258 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump's conduct on January six is quote the 259 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: essence closed, quote of a conspiracy. But the judiciary can't 260 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: prosecute anybody, Danielle, I'm not going to say two branches 261 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: of government can't be wrong, because they probably can. But 262 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: they're not wrong. They are yelling and screaming and documenting 263 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: and filing in court serious legal pleadings saying Donald Trump 264 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: committed crimes against the United States. And from the Department 265 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: of Justice, the only of the three branches of government 266 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: that has the power to prosecute people, we hear nothing crickets. 267 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: All of this in combination, Danielle tells me the Department 268 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: of Justice cannot decline to prosecute Donald Trump. They can't. 269 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: They can't. They will prosecute him when they will do it, 270 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: How they will do it, Will they do it in 271 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: time to save our democracy? Those are open questions. But 272 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: I will bet everything in my bank account much that 273 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: they will. You went above a dollar glen one dollar 274 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: betting limit that time they will prosecute him. The other 275 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: two branches of government are saying, we've got the goods 276 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: the federal government has the goods DJ move out. And 277 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland stepped to the mic the other day yesterday, 278 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: I think, or the day before, in a rare you know, 279 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: showing of a sign of life, and said, we are 280 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: going to fight like Keck to protect Ukrainian democracy. I sweitt, 281 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: I don't forge, I don't forgrudge him. This is not 282 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: a criticism. I want us involved in the fight on 283 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: behalf of the Ukrainian people fight, broadly speaking, one way 284 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: or another. I want to help our brothers and sisters 285 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: in Ukraine. But come on, Sport, how about you? You 286 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: fight just as hard for American democracy. So it's coming, 287 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: you know. I know it's coming. I know it's coming 288 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: because of what the other two who equal branches of 289 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: government have said and done and found. It's coming. I 290 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: just don't know if it's going to be soon enough. 291 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: Glenn walk us through the court filing and why this quote? 292 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: Like why did they file? Why why was this file 293 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: filed in court? Like what what? What is it? What 294 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: does that actually mean? Um? And and is and is 295 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: this normal? Is this normal proceeding for a commission? Because 296 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: I want the listeners to really understand, like why this 297 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: step was taken. Sure, So John Eastman is a treasonoust 298 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: lawyer who authored a memo. It was a blueprint how 299 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: to corruptly overturn the elections results. That wasn't the express title, 300 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: but that was the substance, right, the memo, And so naturally, 301 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, let me add he went 302 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: on TV and said, and I can almost quote him verbatim, 303 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: anybody who thought my memo should have been taken seriously 304 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: is crazy. That's his word. So what does that tell us? 305 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: He knows just how guilty he is. That demonstrates his 306 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: consciousness of guilt walking away from his own legal memo. 307 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: He's going to get God, He's going to be Yeah, yeah, 308 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: I believe so. Not surprisingly, the House Select Committee subpoened 309 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: him because they wanted to hear all about you know 310 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: how he came to write this treasonous memo and help 311 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: his friend Donald Trump try to corruptly retain power. He 312 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: and they subpoened documents from him, emails and text messages 313 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: and all sorts of communications that would assist the House 314 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: Select Committee in its investigation. And he sued. He said, nope, 315 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm filing suit to stop you from getting all that stuff. 316 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: You can't have my emails or my phone records or anything. 317 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: And so that was actually helpful because it gave the 318 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: House Select Committee the opportunity to file a response to 319 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: his suit. And the response said, guess what, you can't 320 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: invoke attorney client privilege to keep to keep from giving 321 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: us these things we have subpoena because there's a little 322 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: thing called the crime fraud exception. We have evidence that 323 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: you and Donald Trump were involved in committing crimes and 324 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: fraud together. So you don't get to hold up the 325 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: shield of attorney client privilege and say you can't have 326 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: the incriminating evidence that I have in my possession that 327 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: you have now subpoena. So that's just the crime fraud 328 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: exception is just one of the reasons the How Select 329 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: Committee puts in this pleading as to why John Eastman's 330 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: claims fail. So that's procedurally how we got where we are, okay, 331 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: And so Eastman's lawyer, right, according to the article in 332 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: the New York Times, Eastman's lawyer is coming out and saying, well, 333 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: this is obviously their favorite refrain, a witch hime, and 334 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: that the Commission is saying that there is there's potential 335 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: criminal or fraud here so that they can get him 336 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: out of the attorney client privilege and that so now 337 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: is the burden of proof put back on the commission 338 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: to then prove that there is actual criminal activities so 339 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: that they get his documents. Where do we go from here? 340 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: So now this will be litigated, and I think technically 341 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: in this civil proceeding, the burden of proof will be 342 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: on the person resisting the subpoena got it, and he'll 343 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: have to prove. But it's all going to be part 344 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: and parcel of an evidentiary hearing. I assume if the 345 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: judge orders an evidentiary hearing, judges can do two things. 346 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: They can decide the issue on the papers, which means 347 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: they can just look at the two pleadings and the 348 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: attachments to the two pleadings. They usually will attach affidavits 349 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: and other information. And if the judge says, you know what, 350 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: I've reviewed it all and the decision in this case 351 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: is absolutely clear. And if and if they do that, 352 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: I predict they will rule in favor of the House 353 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: Select Committee, not in favor of John Eastman. Or they 354 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: could say, you know what, there's a contested issue of 355 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: fact that I need to resolve with an evidentiary hearing 356 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: before I can make my ruling, and then he'll set 357 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: a hearing in the case. So that's kind of procedurally 358 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: how this is going to play out. But listen, John Eastman, 359 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: as a set out on page one of this pleading, 360 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: went into the House Select Committee and he pleaded his 361 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination one hundred and forty 362 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: six times. So he's not starting from a place of 363 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: strength when he's trying to say, oh, there's no crime 364 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: fraud here, no crime fraud, well Sport, you just invoked 365 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: the fifth one forty six times, which means you're truthful. 366 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: Testimony would tend to incriminate you. So listen, John Eastman 367 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: will lose. It's just a question of how quickly you know, 368 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: here's my thing too, and you know you you mentioned 369 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: it a little bit before or and I do not 370 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: hide my anger and rage at Merrick Garland and this 371 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: Department of Justice when they decided to come out full 372 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: force against the Russian oligarchs. Right, we're going to seize yachts. 373 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: We're going to do this, We're gonna do that. I 374 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: tweeted Glenn, and I said, so what about the American 375 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: oligarchs that funded the insurrection. There were chartered buses that 376 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: were leaving from multiple states, right Like, there were hotels 377 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: that were paid for. There were I mean, there were 378 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: things like where is where is the logic here that 379 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: we would put this kind of smoke and energy at 380 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: Russian oligarchs and defending democracy in Ukraine and that kind 381 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: of energy. I have been saying since the beginning, follow 382 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: the goddamn money. Where is the where the insurrection was funded? 383 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: Why haven't we been following money? Like I just I 384 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: don't I don't understand, like how much longer the Department 385 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: of Justice can twiddle their fingers And what I'm starting like, 386 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: and again I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but what I'm 387 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: starting to wonder is who else is entwined in this? 388 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: Why they're slow walking? Yeah? Right? Like does this make 389 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: sense at this point that the Commission has done more 390 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: heavy lifting than our Department of Justice. It's a great 391 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: point because we have two things working in combination that 392 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: are killing our view of the legitimacy of our institutions. 393 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: It is the inaction, as you point out, but it's 394 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: coupled with a lack of transparency. Those two things in 395 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: combination are corrosive to the public's confidence in our institutions, 396 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: because if there's inaction, you're not moving out. When we 397 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: have all seen the crimes Donald Trump committed in the 398 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: harsh light of day, that's bad enough. But if there's 399 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: no transparency regarding that inaction. If they could step to 400 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: the mic and convincingly say, listen, friends, this is why 401 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:26,719 Speaker 1: things have seemed to be moving so slowly ABCD, and 402 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: they gave us transparency, I think it would reduce the temperature, 403 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 1: and it would reduce our anxiety because then they would 404 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: be at least having enough respect for us to explain 405 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: what the heck is going on. That is inexplicable, that 406 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: is unjust, and that is killing our democracy. But it's 407 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: inaction plus a lack of transparency that kills public confidence 408 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: in our institutions. Same thing, in a smaller sense happening 409 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: in the New York District Attorney's office. I just wrote 410 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: a piece for MSNBC Daily on this that will go 411 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: up this weekend. And you have Alvin Bragg who is 412 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: apparently slow walking or disinclined to indict Donald Trump. So 413 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: you have the two top prosecutors resigning. These are two 414 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: serious people who have been involved in this investigation for years, 415 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: and by all accounts, were moving toward indicting Donald Trump. 416 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: They abruptly resign, They issue letters of resignation, and then 417 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg refuses after a foyer or the version in 418 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: the New York State law of a Freedom of Information 419 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: Act request. After reporters make a foyer request, he says, no, no, no, 420 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: no no. If I release these letters of resignation, it 421 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: could divulge investigative details. And so I asked myself, Okay, 422 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: did these two prosecutors in their resignation letters put all 423 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: kinds of intimate investigative detail about the Trump? No? What 424 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: did they do? They probably put a home came out 425 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: critical of Alvin Bright, and now he's refusing to release them. 426 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: What does that give us? In action plus a lack 427 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: of transparency, and that's killing confidence in our institutions of government. 428 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: You know what, if I let me tell you something, 429 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: If I were those two prosecutors who resign, I would 430 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: send it. I would send it to the media. I 431 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 1: would they have they have? I mean what what what? What? What? What? What? 432 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,479 Speaker 1: What could they possibly do? Right? They can't fire you. 433 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: You already quit? Right? Could they sue you? Sue you 434 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: for what? Right? What would be what would be the 435 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: grounds of a lawsuit? If I were them, I would 436 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: absolutely publish the publish the letters. I would give it 437 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: to whatever outlet. I would post it on medium, you know, 438 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: and say, here's the resignation letter. I don't know why 439 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: he didn't want to share it? Well, And then I 440 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: would say, and by the way, do you see any 441 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: investigative detail in the letter? Like Alvin Bragg said, was 442 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: his basis for not releasing it? And what have you 443 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: just done? You've proved that the new DA for New 444 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: York is a liar if that is the way it 445 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: plays out. So yet transparency, transparency is what we need, 446 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: and transparency is what we lack. And it's just getting worse. 447 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: What is it, Glenn about Donald Trump that when we 448 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: are always on the precipice of an indictment, that it 449 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: goes up in the air. This has been happening for decades. 450 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: What is it like does he have a dossier on 451 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: every single person? Like I just I don't understand the 452 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: cowardice here, and it has it has to come back 453 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: to something that he has on these people. It's got 454 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: to be some combination of fear, timidity, aversion to criticism, 455 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: or losing a k It's got to be corruption in part. 456 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: It's got to be compromise in part. I mean, think 457 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: about how when the New York District Attorney's office, the 458 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: career prosecutors wanted to indict Ivanka and Don Junior, and 459 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: they had enough evidence, they claimed, and Sivance overruled his 460 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: own prosecutors and then took a big fat campaign contribution 461 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: from Don and then Ivanka's lawyer. Come on, now, if 462 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't smell like corruption, I don't know what does. So. 463 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it's one thing. I think it's it's 464 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: a perience of things. Yeah. I think at its core, 465 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: there is a fear in timidity that that prevents prosecutors 466 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: from being the first one to step out to indict 467 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: a former president of the United States. Somebody's got to 468 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: step up, somebody's got to be brave, somebody's got to 469 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: get over that fear and timidity and fight for the 470 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 1: America people. I just don't I don't know who that is. 471 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: Because I also want to say to you that the 472 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: state of the Union that we all watched. I found 473 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: sorely disappointing that in this chamber that a year plus 474 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: before you had those very members that were in there 475 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: hiding under their desks, barricading doors, and the President of 476 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: the United States mentioned nothing about the insurrection, mentioned nothing whatsoever. 477 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: And I said to my I'm like, this isn't just 478 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:41,719 Speaker 1: a missed opportunity, this is like gross negligence at this 479 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: point of all of our leaders, the Department of Justice 480 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: and the President of the United States. I'm like, what 481 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: is going on here? The only people that are doing 482 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: any type of heavy lifting here have no teeth or 483 00:33:54,840 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: authority to take it any further than research. So I'm like, 484 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: I am losing faith that even with the steps that 485 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: we're taking this week in California, with this, you know, 486 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: with this court, I just I'm like, Merritt Garland is 487 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: going to do what with it? He has eight months, 488 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: we have eight months until midterm elections. He hasn't done 489 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: anything at all, and and the only time that he 490 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 1: opens up his mouth is to talk about the Ukraine. 491 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: Again important, but like, we can't look over there and 492 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: say their democracy is falling and not pay attention to 493 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: what's happening at home. And I understand the President of 494 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: the United States is a salesman. That's what that's Politicians 495 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: are salesmen and saleswomen. So he had to go out 496 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: and try to put the best possible face on it. 497 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: But let's be real. The state of the Union is 498 00:34:55,520 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 1: precarious because of the insurrection, and that is the truth. 499 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: It's a truth that a president probably feels he can't 500 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: speak to the American people, which is what upsets us 501 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: because we know the true state of affairs, and we 502 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: know the state of our union is precarious because Donald 503 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: Trump and his Republican allies and enablers and criminal associates 504 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 1: are trying every day to kill our democracy, are trying 505 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: every day to nullify our votes, are trying every day 506 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,879 Speaker 1: to pass legislation that claus back, particularly from women, their 507 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: constitutional privacy rights. That's the state of our union. And 508 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: I'm glad we're helping Ukraine, and I want us to 509 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: help Ukraine. But this wasn't the state of the Ukrainian 510 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:54,359 Speaker 1: Union address. Come on, this was the state of our address, 511 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: and the state of our Union is precarious. Glenn, Quickly, 512 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 1: before I let you go, the last headline around the 513 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: Commission was also around subpoena in Kimberly Gillifoile, who is 514 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: the fiance of Don Trump Junior. What do we think 515 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 1: about this subpoena? Is she gonna show and what do 516 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: we think she knows? And my joke was, I'm certain 517 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: this woman is going to get a quickie Vegas wedding. 518 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: But then I was told that it doesn't preclude a 519 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: quickie wedding. Wouldn't preclude what happened before. It just happened. 520 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: Is what it'll cover what happens after. So just as 521 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 1: John Eastman, who we were just talking about, went into 522 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: the House Select Committee and pled the Fifth one hundred 523 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: and forty six times, just as Roger Stone pled the 524 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: Fifth countless times, just like Eric Trump pled the Fifth 525 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: more than five hundred times in the Tiss James deposition. 526 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: Just like the rest of them, will please the Fifth 527 00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: and the dish James case, Guilfoyle will go in and 528 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: plead the Fifth. I have no doubt about that, because 529 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: you know, she'll make a lot of noise and garner 530 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 1: some media attention, but she's not going to testify because 531 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: if she did, she would incriminate herself and she would 532 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: incriminate Trump and others. And Ovonka hasn't testified yet, right, 533 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: but they made her way in front of the committee. 534 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: Yet they say she's cooperating. So when they say that, 535 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, if that's accurate. Maybe it is. Maybe they're 536 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: saying it for pr purposes. Maybe they're saying it to 537 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,439 Speaker 1: try to drive wedges because they know if they tell 538 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: people she's cooperating, other people might be like, oh no, 539 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: if Ivanka's telling them x Y and Z, I better 540 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: get in there and tell them x Y and Z 541 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 1: as well. So there are tactical reasons to say she's cooperating, frankly, 542 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:59,640 Speaker 1: whether or not she is. But you know, she will 543 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: probably also invoked the fifth when and if she ever appears. 544 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,920 Speaker 1: But I have to tell you based on this filing 545 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:13,880 Speaker 1: in court where Congress, a bipartisan committee let's not forget 546 00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: two Republicans and ten or so Democrats, eight or eight 547 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 1: or ten Democrats, that is a bipartisan committee put in 548 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: writing more than a dozen lawyers that there's enough evidence 549 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: based on what they have learned, that Donald Trump committed 550 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: offenses against the United States, defrauded the people of the 551 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: United States, and criminally obstructed the congressional count of the 552 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: electoral votes. Those are crimes that have to be addressed. 553 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you they will be addressed when and 554 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,439 Speaker 1: whether or not they're addressed they're addressed in time are 555 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: open questions, but they have to be addressed. I mean 556 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: we shall see. I mean we'll continue to follow in 557 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: and we'll continue to be in conversation until we have 558 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 1: the day that we say, oh, guess who's been indicted. 559 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 1: Finally after decades of grift and crime and fraud and 560 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,240 Speaker 1: all of these things, that it finally comes to pass. 561 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: But I am not holding my breath because I don't 562 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: want to pass out. As always, Glenn, thank you so 563 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: much for making the time to join woke a f 564 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 1: We appreciate you and we'll keep fighting alongside you. We'll 565 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: see you next week, then yell and now, dear friends, 566 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 1: for your woke moment of wellness. It is Monday, and 567 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: Monday sometimes feels like a drag And I say, I 568 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: am very very big on rituals. I'm very big on 569 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,319 Speaker 1: rituals that will make me feel good. All we need 570 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 1: to do these days, folks, is focus on what is 571 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: making us feel good. We still have to work, even 572 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: though you know, people want to pretend there's not a 573 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 1: p pandemic. We want to put out of our minds 574 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: that World War three is breaking out. We want to 575 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 1: put out of our minds that black people just get 576 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: killed in this country and no one, no one has 577 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: any accountability around it. So create rituals for yourself. How 578 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: you start your day is how you are going to 579 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: feel all week long. How you start your Monday is 580 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 1: going to be how you can carry that energy through 581 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: your week. My rituals begin like this. I wake up, 582 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: I open my curtains, I choose a meditation to start 583 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 1: my day. Am I looking to feel, you know, abundant? 584 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: Am I trying to manifest? Do I need a visualization? 585 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: Am I feeling anxious? I check in with myself. I 586 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: do not turn on the news right, I do not 587 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: turn on the news until the afternoon. I read right, 588 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 1: and I'm in social media. I make my coffee, I 589 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: make my concoction right, which is apple side of vinegar, 590 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,759 Speaker 1: which I believe just works wonders on your digestion with 591 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 1: the mother apple side of vinegar, A couple of shots 592 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: of that a day. Rituals they allow me to feel 593 00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,640 Speaker 1: like when I am out of control, when the world 594 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: is out of control, that I have control over how 595 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: I feel, how I approach my day, my work, my friends, 596 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: my family. We need to be more conscious, more grounded 597 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: on how we're using our energy, how we are storing 598 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 1: our energy, and how we are releasing it out into 599 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: the world. So I say to you on this good Monday, 600 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: to really think about some rituals that you can add 601 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: into your daily routine that are centered around your joy, 602 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: your happiness and well being. That is it for me 603 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: today here friends, as always, power to the people and 604 00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,320 Speaker 1: to all the people. Power, get woke and stay woke 605 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:06,800 Speaker 1: as fuck.
