Speaker 2: I'm going to be staying a block away from where

00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: I want to do or not. A good friend pronounced

Speaker 1: it a very enjoyable show. Willie's hanging on Willie Nelson

28
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: and Bob Dylan. Eh, eh, that's what you'd hear a

29
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: lot of. Yeah, maybe have Joe Biden come out and

30
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: give a speech in between the sets, right, no kidding.

31
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: So in the middle of the night, whilst you were asleep,

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: the Republican Party passed the One Big Beautiful Bill. And

33
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: as I heard one Republican come out and say, it's

34
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: about empowering the American people. And whenever a politician says

35
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 2: something like that, I think.

36
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Oh boy, what'd you just do? Right? Right? As I've

37
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: said many many times, people don't offer up ridiculous arguments

38
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: because they're keeping the good arguments fresh for later. It

39
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: passed by one vote, which is all takes and one

40
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: guy was saying, please don't shoot me. I have a family,

41
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: Please don't shoot me.

42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: And then speaker Mike Johnson comes out and says, we

43
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: got to get this tape, Hanson, if we don't have

44
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: it already.

45
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: But Mike Johnson comes out and says, this was a

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: blow for conservatism, fiscal conservatism, living within your means.

47
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: Nobody who's analyzed this looks at it that way. Nobody, right,

48
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: all right, And it does include those salt deductions they

49
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: updates would lock in a forty thousand dollars cap for

50
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: state and local deductions. And Fox presented it as and

51
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: it was also a win for Republicans in those blue

52
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: states who are looking for tax relief.

53
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: She said, with a happy smile on her face. Yeah,

54
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: there's three of them in the entire house, and all

55
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: the rest of them got screwed the rest of us

56
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: in the whole country. So now don't say that with

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: your smiley face to me. And look, it's all due

58
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: to respect to anybody you know in the business or

59
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: listening or whatever. I have no interest in mindless cheerleading

60
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: for yea my side, boo the other side, you know,

61
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for. I apologize humbly and deeply,

62
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: not like a Jake Tapper apology, I mean a real

63
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: one that we can't give you what you're looking for,

64
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: but you know we're gonna, you know, to call them

65
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: as we see and speak to true Wall Street journalists.

66
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Other Republicans got to win and being able to hold

67
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 2: onto their green energy products projects. Oh great, so they

68
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: balance the salt reductions, which screw everybody in America pretty

69
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: much but New York, New Jersey, in California. And then

70
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: you are not a fiscal concern. You are not rhino

71
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: is thrown around too much. You are a rhino if

72
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: you were holding up your vote because you want to

73
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: hang onto your fanciful green energy projects just because it

74
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: brings money into your state.

75
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Right you're a Democrat. Yeah. Now, I tell you what.

76
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: The one defense that I would listen to, and I

77
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: would say, wow, okay, is if Mike Johnson came to

78
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: me and he said, all right, listen, brother, h here's

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: all the polling we do. We spend millions of dollars

80
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 1: on this constantly. We're in flu districts, red districts, swing districts,

81
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: and here's the deal. Fiscal conservatism is a loser. We

82
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: run on it, we lose every election, and we can't

83
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: do any of the good stuff you like, none of it.

84
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: I would like to hear that set out loud, though

85
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: it's the truth.

86
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would like to hear that set out to

87
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: and it it might be one hundred percent correct that

88
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: you'd say, look, you can't win on fiscal conservatism. This

89
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: is better than if the Democrats did their big bill,

90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: if they had made I.

91
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: Mean, look at the horrors unleashed during the Biden administration crisis.

92
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: If this, we're pissed off that they're keeping some of

93
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: the drip going of the the Green new scam that

94
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: was so horrifying, as opposed to you know, a new

95
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: uh Kamala Harris administration, which would be you know, pouring

96
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: more trillions of dollars out the door. So I get

97
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: that it's better one hundred percent, but it's still frustrating. Man.

98
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm not going to claim that it's good news. I'm

99
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not gonna do that. And good news

100
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: for those Republicans in blue states. Oh, good lord, that's disgusting.

101
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: It is discussed. It was that that, all right. I

102
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: don't want to said anybody, What am I thinking? I

103
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: offend people every single day? What was it?

104
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

105
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: You know, it's a look I feel like as a spouse,

106
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: the deal is your wife's gonna keep cheating on you

107
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: with the neighbor, but she's agreed not to do it

108
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: in front of you anymore. And I'm supposed to drop

109
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: to my knees and say I have a grades and

110
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: a healthy marriage. Ah no, that's not the case. Good lord,

111
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: the kids, the grandkids were spending their money. Plus, nobody

112
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: cares about this. I'll stop shouting. I'm giving myself an

113
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: aneurysm for no good reason. Like there's an extra twelve

114
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: billion dollars for the border. That's something or other that

115
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure is a good idea. Oh there's lots of

116
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: great stuff. Yeah, I'm sure there's two.

117
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: But how about this, an indoor tanning excise tax that

118
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: was eliminated in the original bill would be maintained.

119
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: What about my right to be slightly browner? Huh? What

120
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: is that? An indoor exercise tax? Some sort of break

121
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: for tanning places? You know the founding fathers would chuck

122
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: tanning beds and Boston Harbor. Federal land swaps in Novetta

123
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: and Utah would be eliminated. We'll give you Eli if you'll.

124
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: Take whatever that where all the multiple wive people are

125
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: you take that, We'll take you.

126
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: I don't want to impunity particular Utah hamlets that may

127
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: or may not have alternative lifestyles going on. Good gracious.

128
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, So whatever, Then it goes, as Joe pointed out yesterday,

129
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: it needs to it needs to be pointed out. It

130
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: goes to the Senate immediately. It's already going to the Senate,

131
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: and the Republicans do have a fifty three forty seven

132
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: majority there, so they got a little more wiggle room

133
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: to be able to lose.

134
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be able to lose some of the holdouts.

135
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, I just had a weird philosophical thoughts. You

136
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: want to finish the nuts and bolts, I mean, finish

137
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: the issue with my weird philosophical Yeah, well finish this

138
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: one sentence. Apparently the fiscal conservative is already leaning on

139
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: their fiscal concers servative colleagues in the Senate to try

140
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: to you know, nudget further that direction. And we'll see

141
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: if that happens or not. I would hope. Yeah, a

142
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: little progress is better than none. But here's my weird

143
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: philosophical thought. I was about to say something to the

144
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: effect of, you know, if if you know, back in

145
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: maybe Reagan's day, maybe uh Bush two, when he was

146
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: in office, the you know what the Congress was doing

147
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: and the deficits and which are quaint by today's standards.

148
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: Human beings always want to know the future, you know,

149
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: time machine, crystal ball, whatever. If somebody had troll guards

150
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: board right right exactly, if somebody had told you twenty

151
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: five years ago how bad it was gonna be, it

152
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: would have driven you insane. You'd have been like, no,

153
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: that's impossible. The Republicans at both houses and the White House,

154
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: and they make it worse. Why who's in charge? Who

155
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: got elected? What happened?

189
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: Some defense it was. It was absolutely amazing. Look, well,

190
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: what was that stat? I gotta find it. I was

191
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: reading about it. I didn't watch it because I'm not

192
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: really into the NBA. But the Pacers were down fourteen

193
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: was three two forty two minutes and twenty seconds left. Yeah,

194
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: which has happened nine hundred and sometimes in NBA history,

195
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: and the number of teams that have overcome that deficit

196
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: to tie or win is exactly zero until last night. Yeah,

197
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: first time anybody had ever come back fourteen points with

198
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: two forty five left, and the shot at the buzzer

199
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: toscend it to overtime, went in the air like thirty feet.

200
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: It hit the front of the rim, bounces straight up

201
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,000

Speaker 1: It was very exciting. It was like a movie. I

207
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: mean that last shot it was kind of went up

208
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: slowly and you put the camera on everybody's open mouths

209
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,760

00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,600

241
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: home station, the Network News ran the story and ended

242
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,600

243
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: is what happens when Yeah wow, yes, I'm yeah, I know,

00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: I know.

245
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: Second well, along with that from the New York Post,

00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: anti israel protesters spark chaos outside of Columbia University graduation

247
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: with diploma burning and aggressive chance.

248
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, chant to wait, morons. I'll tell you this because

249
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: I'm fired up about this. There's a lot of media

250
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: these days that's struggling a little bit for revenue. Things

251
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: have changed consolidation blah blah blah. And they've got a

252
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: lot of like young people who don't get a ton

253
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: of supervision by the old hands in the business this

254
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: and say they're just working that they don't work anymore. Well,

255
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, they've been uh, you know, relegated to

256
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: the old hand dump heep. And so these these you know,

257
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: Columbia journalism grads just do what they want in America's newsrooms.

258
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: You think that some of that network news is carefully

259
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: planned by the best people in the bed. No, no, no,

260
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: it's please, it's a skeleton crew churning out lefty crap

261
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: and I hate it.

262
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: Anti Semitism, including violence, is way too accepted in America

263
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 2: right now.

264
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Agreed from the Washington Post.

Speaker 3: Good Pope Leo mediate between Russia and Ukraine.

266
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: Trump thinks, so he can try. See here's the problem.

267
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: Putin has no interest in stopping unless somebody makes him,

268
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: and nobody seems to be interested in making him, and

269
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: nobody's being honest about it, including Trump. I don't get

270
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: it at all, Old Pope Leo, God bless him. Literally. Uh,

271
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: he might as well try to mediate between oil and water.

272
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: What does that even mean?

273
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: Oh?

274
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: Oil and don't mix. I get right right, it's futile effort.

00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, and the.

312
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 5: Majority of Americans said using a coupon on a date

313
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 5: is perfectly acceptable. Oh yeah, coupons are hot, y'all. And

314
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 5: if you're feeling freaky, maybe a groupon maybe all of

315
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 5: us should take the pottery class.

316
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: You know, speaking of fiscal conservatism and the Big beautiful Bill,

317
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: and there's no appetite for caring about spending because the

318
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: population doesn't care about the fives on a date and

319
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: she pulls out a cop Hey, I've got a coupon

320
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: for this, save us half. I would think, oh my god,

321
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: this is the greatest woman ever. But if you, as

322
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 2: the dude, were to do that, I think the reaction,

323
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 2: I think the reaction should be the same way.

324
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: Oh good, you don't waste money. Fantastic, Wow, Wow I

325
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: could not disagree more. Terrible, terrible blunder. Katie has a

326
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: different opinion. She's a female.

327
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: Yeah what why is that a terrible thank you? Why

328
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: is that a terrible blunder?

329
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Oh? It just shows a cheapness, lack of commitments. I

330
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: don't care enough about to pay full price. Does it

331
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: you need more or less cheapness? Oh? You're both so wrong.

332
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: I bust out a coupon. Hey, it's Bogo night, sweetheart. Please,

333
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: it's over before it began.

334
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: If the guys them up, if the guy's taking you

335
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,479
Speaker 3: out to dinner, it doesn't matter how it gets paid for,

336
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: whether there's a coupon or a gift card.

337
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: She wants it into the bill, don't attention? Allright? Beautiful

338
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: coming up? Naming names. Who was the inner circle covering

339
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: up Joe Biden's sinility. Let's know, these people's names stay

340
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: with us, so we'll get into this more later. Probably

341
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: this horrifying story last night Washington, DC, around nine o'clock

342
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: at night.

343
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 2: A couple, a young couple who were gonna get engaged

344
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: real soon. He was going to propose to her in

345
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: Jerusalem soon murdered by a freaking nut job to Israeli

346
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: embassy staffers there in Washington, d C. Right outside the

347
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 2: Capitol Jewish Museum. And the guy then walks into the museum.

348
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: People don't realize he's the shooter. He stands around for

349
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: a while, then pulls a kafia out of his pocket,

350
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: starts waving it around and chanting Free, Free Palestine.

351
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: And then they arrest him and lead him off.

352
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 2: And I heard some news report where they're trying to

353
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: decide whether to sue this as.

354
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: A hate crime or terrorism. I don't understand any of

355
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: those particulars. You murder people in cold blood, the penalty

356
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: should be so high that the particulars of what kind

357
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: of reason it wasn't I don't even get it. I

358
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: would agree completely, one hundred percent. I understand in theory

359
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the nature of terrorism is an organized political tool. We

360
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: need to squelch that as quickly and forcefully as we can.

361
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: But don't we feel that way about all murder? Right?

362
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: Gunning down?

363
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: So there is a lesser penalty for gunning down a

364
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: young couple in love standing on a street corner if

365
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: you didn't do it for political reasons, that you just

366
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: wanted their.

367
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: Money, that's wrong. AnyWho. John Podohor I can't say his name,

368
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: do you say it? Poter Hurtz.

369
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: He writes for The New York Post, and he runs

370
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: commentary magazine, and I listen to his podcast almost every

371
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: single day. He wrote, what we're going to see over

372
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 2: the next couple of days is predictable. Jewish institutions are

373
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: going to scramble to increase security as Jews huddled together

374
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 2: for comfort, and as the hours and days pass, the

375
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: shooting will be analyzed by the mainstream with an eye

376
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: toward explaining the root causes of the crime and the

377
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: criminal's motivations, getting to the terrorism and hate crime, which

378
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: is to say, a search for a way to excuse well.

379
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: Hear that the real danger in the wake of this

380
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: monster sac will be a rise in Islamophobia, rather than

381
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: this event is the culmination of the past eighteen months

382
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: of open antisemitic and jew hating action in the streets

383
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: of major cities and on campuses of our most prestigious

384
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: academic institutions.

385
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: And we Jews will be arming ourselves, says John. Yeah,

386
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: the first outlet I hear or see with an anti

387
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: Muslim bias is also a problem these days. Right, I

388
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: don't know what, Well, what I would like to do

389
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: would go against my every principle, but yeah, just wait

390
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: for it. It's coming.

391
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: If you're a hate leaning half a nut job anyway,

392
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 2: and you watch what's being accepted across the country, how

393
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: does that including.

394
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: In our elite institutions, right, right? And then excused by

395
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: most of the media that you watch. All right, Yeah,

396
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 1: wasn't this guy's last name? I want to get it right, Rodrigers,

397
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: wasn't it? Yeah, something like that. I was gonna say, Rodriguez. Yeah,

398
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: so that's going to cause me anti Muslim bias. What

399
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: is his name, Mohammed Rodriguez. Well he was chanting free,

400
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: free Palestine. Well, yeah, I'm anti moron. I have anti

401
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: moron bias. Yeah, anti radicalized because you've been fed a

402
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: grossly oversimplified, one sided, you know, version of events. Yeah,

403
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: I've got bias against that. Goodness sakes, all right, Michael Toothy,

404
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: do you have more on that, Jack or are you not?

405
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: Now?

406
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: We'll get into it a little bit more later. It's

407
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: change a plan Mychael number one some transition music. Then

408
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: we'll use the two Peter Doocey clips sixty one and

409
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: sixty two plays some transition too too jommering to transition

410
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: without it. They'll be back with you just a moment, folks.

411
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: Is this just a saxophone, bass, guitar and drum? I

412
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: think that's just a Is that a trio? There's electric

413
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: piano or organ in there? I guess you're yeah, yeah,

414
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: And in fact, I think the keyboard riffing there is

415
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: play that again, Michael, I think that the keyboard riffing

416
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: is deceptively simple.

417
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: They're playing in the little grassy area this Memorial Day weekend.

418
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: You got a border's books here, and you got a

419
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: little place here, you get some sort of little thing,

420
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: and then there's a yoburt place and then they're playing.

421
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: Music right here. Kids are throwing water balloons at each

422
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: other over there in the distance. Yeah, So, I tell

423
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: you what, there is just no disputing Jake Tapper's credentials

424
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: as a Joe Biden is not senile defender. Over the

425
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: last several years, a handful of journalist stickeout lights, including

426
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: the Free Beacon, have compiled just exhaustive lists of all

427
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: the times the Tapper not only you know, it was

428
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: a skeptical listener if people claimed this or the other,

429
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: But no, he was so obviously aggressively a defender of

430
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: Biden's mental acuity. It is truly hilarious he's doing what

431
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: he's doing. We need to name some names before we

432
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: do that. Let's hear the two Peter Doucey clips Michael.

433
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 6: One in a time sixty one, there was a fear

434
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 6: in the room that asking a hard question about the

435
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 6: president's acuity, about his mental fitness, could mean a loss

436
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 6: of access. But based on everything that we have learned now,

437
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 6: nobody had access. It was the president and a handful

438
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 6: of aids that were with him for fifty years up

439
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 6: in the residence with the first lady and the first son,

440
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 6: and that was it.

441
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: And I guess Peter Deucey go ahead.

442
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, I gotta say, if you're a

443
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: journalist that's afraid to ask a question, a tough question

444
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: because they'll get mad cut off access, then stop being

445
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: a journalist and go do something else.

446
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: That's what your freaking job is. But if you get

447
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: shut out completely, you can't do your job at all.

448
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: But then you need to make a noise about that.

449
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: But all journalists, if your job is not to go

450
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: in and ask the hard question about the touchy issue,

451
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: what's the point? You have a point. But so Peter

452
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: Doocey couldn't possibly have known about Biden's senility because he

453
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: didn't have inside sources that talk to him. Later, according

454
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 1: to Jake Taffer, listen to this next clip.

455
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 6: Something that I do before I go into these White

456
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 6: House briefings. I kind of try to take a poll

457
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 6: everywhere I go, at the grocery store, at the airport.

458
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 6: And the one thing everybody that I met wanted to

459
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 6: know while I was on the Biden beat was.

460
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: Is he okay?

461
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 6: I saw this clip, there's saying it's a cheap fake.

462
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 6: What is going on with this guy?

463
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: So two hundred and forty million Americans were fully recognizing

464
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: his enility, But to escape Jake Tapper and his crew.

465
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine. One thing that was pointing out yesterday

466
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: I thought was really good is this. So Jake Tapper

467
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: on Megan Kelly the other day we played some of

468
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 2: these clips. He said, the Conservatives had this right and

469
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: we had it wrong. There's nothing like that anywhere in

470
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 2: the book.

471
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: So you got shamed into saying that in the last

472
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: two weeks. Wow, on this press tour, that's not going

473
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 1: the way I think you thought it was going to go.

474
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: But you didn't come to that conclusion and put it

475
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: in your book at all. That's significant. Oh, of course

476
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: it is. It absolutely is. But whose posters should be

477
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: up on America's Post Office wall as the most wanted

478
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: cover uppers of Biden's enility? And it's it's worse than

479
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: that too, obviously, because they were running the country, no joke,

480
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: the great Kim Strassel the Wall Street Journal writing about

481
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: all the die all of the denials, and I didn't

482
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 1: notices and all that. The lucky Democrats are those who

483
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: had limited contact with Biden were excusing their prior claims

484
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: of his good health on situational grounds as in well

485
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: a few times I was with him. He was fine,

486
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: and there are plenty of these, She writes, since original

487
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: sin the Taper Book confirms that as time went by,

488
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Biden's handlers walled off the president. But we are at

489
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: least now hearing the names of the handlers who worked

490
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: to keep Biden's frailty secret, and anecdotes of other players

491
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: who were clearly presented evidence that there was a problem,

492
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: yet did nothing. Let's take stock number one, Jack, no surprise,

493
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: Jill Biden, the President's wafered all the questions, Joe, you

494
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: know all the fact the president's wife was not shy

495
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,239
Speaker 1: about her ambition to occupy the White House for a

496
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: full eight years. Interviewed by the New Yorkers David Remnick,

497
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: author Thompson Alex Thompson recounts, I'm gonna put it within

498
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: the family. All presidents run for two terms. The first

499
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: lady's already plotting what are we going to do in

500
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: the second term, very very early on. Oh your jello,

501
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: and you didn't make boo boo in your pants. Joe, Joe,

502
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: you just such a great job.

503
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: You answered every question you ask.

504
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: He says that missus Biden was viewed as the head

505
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: protector and that Biden aids described her as quote, one

506
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: of the most powerful First Ladies in American history. Thompson

507
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: reported last summer that bought Missus Biden and her top aid,

508
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Bernall, went so far as to separate the president

509
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: from the White House residents staff, walking butler's and other

510
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: household workers from interacting with Joe.

511
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: I was just reading the chapter this Bernal guy who

512
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 2: became one of the most powerful people in the White House,

513
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: and he was close with Jill Biden. If he got

514
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 2: on the wrong side of him, you were in, you

515
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: were out. You were on the out. So you could

516
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 2: not cross her.

517
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: And she was protecting her husband, so he was He

518
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: was a big gatekeeper. And of course Kim Strassel points

519
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: out that family members are the most likely to see

520
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: mental decline and recognize it. And so the former First Lady,

521
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: who even today insists her husband is fine on the

522
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: view which is just insane, made sure the number of

523
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: people who could personally witness his behavior was as low

524
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: as possible. The aides A picture is forming of that

525
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: handful of aids trusted by the Biden family to act

526
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: as intermediaries between Biden and the world to limit his

527
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: exposure and squelch any questions about his health. They include

528
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: bernal Ron Klaine, who was the chief of staff until

529
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, Bruce Reed and Annie Thomasini, deputy chiefs

530
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: of staff, Mike Donellan and Steve Roschetti advisors especially on

531
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: the campaign. They're the guys who had, as strongly suspected,

532
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: were feeding Biden fake poll numbers to convince him he

533
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: could win that National security officials Jake Sullivan and Anthony

534
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: Blinken quote from a Biden cabinet secretary and original sin quote,

535
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: I've never seen a situation like this before. This is

536
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: the key, folks, right here. This is what turns it

537
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: into a giant, historic scandal. I've never seen a situation

538
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: like this before with so few people having so much power,

539
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: they would make huge economic decisions without calling Treasure Secretary Yellen.

540
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: Evidence is meanwhile surfacing that these aids didn't just hide

541
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: Biden from the public, they hid information from Biden, including

542
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: the reality of how many elected Democrats wanted him out.

543
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: And then she mentions Kevin O'Connor, Biden's personal physician, who

544
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: repeated over and over again that he does not need

545
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: a cognitive test. He is great. I see him every day.

546
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: He's cognitively capable. Listen, he's doing the job.

547
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: Oh.

548
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 2: I got way more on this examples from the book,

549
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 2: but we are out of time of when Jill really

550
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: started to flex her muscles and realize she needed to

551
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: take charge.

552
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: And it's amazing she got away with it. Yep, she

553
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: was practically the president, if not actually the president. A

Speaker 1: your freedom loving quote of today. This is one of

589
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: my all time favorites. Everybody out I have this tattooed

590
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: right on the back of their hands so they can

591
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: consult it whenever necessary. It is from the Great Friedrich

592
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: August von Hayek. Emergencies in quotes have always been the

593
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.

594
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: We haven't done. Emergencies have always been the pretext for

595
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: taking away your rights. We haven't done.

596
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: The Washington Post exclusive that didn't get enough attention this

597
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: week because of all the other news. The facial recognition

598
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: they were doing in New Orleans after that car attack

599
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: killed all those people, that had never been done at

600
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: that level anywhere in the United States, and they did

601
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 2: it secretly and nobody's talking about it at all, and

602
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 2: an emergency happened, and they did think something nothing that

603
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 2: had never been done in the United States, right, right.

604
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: I remember the big vote in Congress as whether we

605
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: wanted this. Oh that's right. No, there hasn't been even

00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: just fired up. Way to go, Marina, love it, guys,

620
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: sarcastic screen coming. Oh no, this is from uh Al Nanimus.

621
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: I'm a narcotics investigator down here on the border, and

622
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 1: if I had a dollar for every time I was

623
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: lied to, I would have already comfortably retired. Oh my god, sir,

624
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: I had no idea there were seventy five kilos of

625
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: coke hidden in my car when I crossed the border.

626
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 1: They all say. But literally everything else I'm seeing would

627
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: lead me to believe that you did know. Hm, maybe,

628
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: just maybe I'm being lied to. Come on, Jake Tapper,

629
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 1: give me a break. I got more on that. Ezra

630
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: Klein in the New York Times some interesting stuff on that.

631
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: He interviewed. Jake Tapper. You know, that's a hell of

632
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: a person to look into it, Ezra Kleine, But so Jed,

633
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: here's a thought starter for you, my friend. Picture one

634
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: of those dope smugglers on the border you're talking about,

635
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: who sincerely had convinced himself that there was no coke

636
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: in his car even though he'd loaded it. That's the

637
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: Jake Tapper story. Yeah right, no kidding. Let's see, nobody

638
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: elected Elon Musk Hey, big beautiful Jack and Joe. Uh

639
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: maybe I I haven't seen it yet. Uh where are

640
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: all those angry concerned citizens or are yelling about Elon

641
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: not being elected when you have undeniable evidence that during

642
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: the Biden president, see, the duly elected president was not

643
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: running the executive branch at all, He wasn't appointing powerful advisors.

644
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: The powerful advisors were operating without his knowledge. But you're

645
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: not worried about that, are you?

646
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,959
Speaker 2: Another aspect of the story that just is not being

647
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 2: drilled down enough on it's it's really quite amazing. If

648
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 2: you miss a segment, get the podcast. We got a

649
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: lot more to come.

650
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,520
