Tuesday edition of Clay and Buck kicks off 15 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: right now. We had the Senate all night working hard 16 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 2: to pass a bill that the Republican base does not 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: want pass. Ninety five billion dollars in four and aid 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, nothing for the southern border. 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: We shall discuss that they also have the immunity claim 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: making its way through the courts. The Trump legal team 21 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: put forward an application for a stay and wow, I 22 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: don't know if we're gonna get too deep into it 23 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 2: today because it's intricate, But basically they're asking the Supreme 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 2: Court to tell the Circuit Court to hold. On a second, 25 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: you can't tell the district court to go forward with 26 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: the trial until the Supreme Court rules on whether or 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 2: not the stay goes into place. And also they're looking 28 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: they're looking to get down the line cirt. I mean, 29 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: the whole thing is a giant mess, but a stay 30 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: and a stay. They're trying to play time games here 31 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 2: with the Trump trial, so we might get into some 32 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 2: of that a little bit later. They asked for you're 33 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: actually broads, the court should stay the DC Circuits mandate 34 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: pending resolution of press a Trump's petition for cercii in 35 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: this court. As an additional relief, President Trump requests this 36 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: court stay the DC Circuits mandate penning the resolution for 37 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: a petition for en bunk consideration. Whoo clay. They are, 38 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: they're getting deep into legal weeds. But basically the Trump 39 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: team is like, hey, what's the rush, Supreme Court, We 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: need more time for this, and the DC Circuit and 41 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: District Court are saying it's go time. We got to 42 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: get this Trump trial going as fast as possible. 43 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: Which is why I've been saying for some time, I'm 44 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: I've got the law degree. And so when you read 45 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: all that, which I bet a lot of people is 46 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: like their eyes are rolling back into their head. It 47 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: is so hard, even for someone who is a lawyer 48 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: to be keeping tabs on all of the different moving 49 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: parts of the Trump legal process. And I think, Buck, 50 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: maybe I'm gonna end up being wrong, but I think all. 51 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 2: Of this is so much. 52 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: They threw so much at him that it's going to 53 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: be hard for the average voter to be focused that 54 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: much on the criminal and civil prosecutions that are taking 55 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: place of Trump. And so I question what the overall 56 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: value is going to be because I think it's that 57 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: they've they've thrown so much at him, Buck, I really 58 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: feel like if they had said, Hey, we're going to 59 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: put all of our eggs in this one basket. This 60 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: is the trial we think is the most important. This 61 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: is the one we're going to bring. It's either you know, 62 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 1: win or lose on this one. I think people would 63 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: have been able to follow it. But right now, I 64 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: think he's got three different hearings today, Buck, And you 65 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: just reference the fact of what the Supreme court's got 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: to do. And really the essence of what you referenced 67 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: is not guilt or innocence, it's timeliness. Yes, they are 68 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: trying to do everything they can to get that Jacksmith 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: trial decided before November because it's their hell Mary that 70 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: they think will win them the election. 71 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: Here's what's a few things you're one, Clay. I think 72 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: that they probably are going to manage to get this 73 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: the trial. And here's why I think so. When you 74 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 2: look at the way that they have responded to motions 75 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: up to this point. None of this is normal process. 76 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: None of this is the way that it's supposed to go. Right. 77 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: Immunity issues are special, So immunity issues, when you raise them, 78 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 2: you can appeal it before you go to trial, because 79 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: the whole point if you're Trump or somebody else who 80 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: has immunity, is you shouldn't have to face a trial 81 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: at all. Right, that's the whole point. If you go 82 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: through the trial but you had immunity, you've already been punished. 83 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 2: So there's a different process for this because usually you 84 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: could only appeal a verdict. Right, you don't get to 85 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: appeal that they're bringing a case against you. Well, with immunity. 86 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: You can clay the I think, you know, initially the 87 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 2: circuit they're giving them, you know, five days for this, 88 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 2: two weeks for that. I was talking to a lawyer 89 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: buddy of mine. He says, this stuff takes months. Usually, 90 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: this stuff would routinely take ninety days extended extended. That 91 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 2: this process that they are ramming Trump through right now, 92 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: by normal order, meaning everything DC District, DC Circuit, Supreme 93 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: Court motions, should take at least two years, and they 94 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: have already condensed year one into a few months basically, right, 95 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: that's what's actually going. So they are throwing out and 96 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: it's all based on this principle that Jack Smith is fording. 97 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: And Andy McCarthy talked to us about this, I think 98 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: it last week that the public has a right to 99 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 2: a speedy trial. In this case, there's no such thing 100 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 2: as a public right to a speedy trial. There's a 101 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: defendant right to a speedy trial. So they are wildly 102 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: abusing the system already. Now there's no to your point 103 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: about process, their discretion about Okay, you've got ten days 104 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 2: for this motion, or five days to come back on this, 105 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: or three days to come back on that. That's not 106 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: really reviewable. I mean, the Supreme Court can come in 107 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: and say no, but they're probably not going to do that. 108 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: So they're able to speed this whole thing up because 109 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: they're trying to get it to a trial irrespective of 110 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 2: what would be normal. So Good's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy. 111 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: So my thought in general is as soon as the 112 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: Supreme Court took one half of the charges that Jack 113 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: Smith is using and said we're going to hear this case, 114 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: to me, it became almost I don't know how you 115 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: start a trial with four charges if the Supreme Court 116 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: is going to potentially say two of those charges are 117 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: not prosecutable under the statute of which you're using, which 118 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: is why them taking that case was so significant. In 119 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: other words, if they started a trial and halfway through 120 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: the trial suddenly the Supreme Court came down with a ruling, 121 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: then they would have to basically drop half of the 122 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: charges against Trump. So I still think that the way 123 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: this is going to play out, buck is there's no 124 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: way they're going to start before July. 125 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: And then the. 126 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: Question becomes what day does the what day officially does 127 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court come down with a ruling, and then 128 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: are they going to try to do the case, the 129 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: Jack Smith case in mid to late July, August, September 130 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: of an election year. I think that becomes challenging to 131 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: justify as anything other than a political prosecution. 132 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: So that's ahead. The courts have gone along with this 133 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: at every step of the way. They've moved this as 134 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: fast as they absolutely possibly can, beyond anything that anyone 135 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: has ever seen before in the DC Circuit. Right there, 136 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: they're truncating all the schedules. Well, they were trying to 137 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: start on March fourth, so that's finally out the window. 138 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: So I think they're going to miss that by several months. 139 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: But yes, you're right, they've moved more in a more 140 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: ray appid fashion than ever before. And we'll see what 141 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court does. And to give everyone a sense 142 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: of this, I mean, this is a really fascinating point 143 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: as well. I think Jack Smith could have gone through 144 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: normal process and allowed the DC Circuit, the Appeals Court 145 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: to hear the immunity challenge, and there's also the community challenges. 146 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: Right in two parts, there's immunity and then there's the 147 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: double jeopardy point. The double jeopardy point I think that 148 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 2: gets slapped down very easily. Congress is not a criminal court. Sorry, 149 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: that's just not gonna work. But the first one on immunity, 150 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: that's actually a big issue, that's a big constitutional question 151 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: that has to that hasn't been resolved by the Supreme Court. 152 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: That needs to be resolved by the Supreme Court. But 153 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 2: Jack Smith went around the Circuit Court directly to the 154 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: Supreme Court. Even though Clay, you and I both know 155 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: Circuit Court's gonna crush Trump on this one. He doesn't 156 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: even want it to go to the mbunk. He wanted 157 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: to go right to the Supreme Court. Why because he's 158 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: trying to rush this thing as fast as he can. 159 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 2: And the Supreme Court they take it now that they're 160 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: looking at this, they're probably gonna move very fast too, right, 161 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 2: because what's the point. They can't be the ones to 162 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 2: move slowly. 163 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: And I actually, I actually think if they came to 164 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: me and this would be a crazy upset, right if 165 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm having a conversation with some Supreme Court justice and 166 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: he's like or she's like, hey, Clay, what do you 167 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: think we should do here? I actually think the way 168 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court should handle this is to delay it 169 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: because what this really is buck to me, is the 170 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: question you have to ask yourself, and I go for 171 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: everybody out there, and I would say, if you're a 172 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: Republican operative, if you're listening to this, if you're on 173 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign and you're listening to this, to me, 174 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: you distill all of this down and say, do you 175 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: want a jury in New York City? Do you want 176 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: a jury in Washington, DC? Do you want a jury 177 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: in South Florida? Do you want a jury in Atlanta, Georgia? 178 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: Right? 179 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: What is that forty eight people roughly? Or do you 180 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: want a Supreme Court in the United States? Nine people? 181 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: That's fifty six, fifty seven people? Whatever the math is there, 182 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: fifty seven? I think, do you want fifty seven people 183 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: to make a decision about whether Trump should or should 184 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: not be the president of the United States? Or do 185 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: you want one hundred and fifty million people to make 186 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: a decision about whether Trump should be gay? 187 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: To agree with you, there is almost no chance that 188 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court sits on this and just says, yeah, 189 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: it's on our docket. We're not gonna we're not gonna 190 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 2: touch this until after the election. No. No, I'm not 191 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: saying until after the election. 192 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: But I'm saying, if you take it and delay it 193 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: as long as you can. If you take this case 194 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: and you relate, first of all, they can knock half 195 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: of the jack Smith charges out. And if they knock 196 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: half the jack Smith charges out, I do think that 197 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: would be seen as a fairly substantial win. If you 198 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: don't release your opinion. I'm not sure what the last 199 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: day to release opinions are, but let's say it's early July. 200 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: Let's say it's July fourth weekend. They're gonna come out 201 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: with a ruling, and then you have to go get 202 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: a jury seated. That would mean you can't start until August. 203 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: I think it becomes very difficult to start a trial 204 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: in August. Why is the election, Well, because in general 205 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: you have the Department of Justice position. 206 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: I know that you're forgetting what the triphage, What the 207 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: courts have done up to this point is entirely unprecedented 208 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: in scheduling the getting as fast as humanly possible. So 209 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: the notion that they're going to rely on precedent to 210 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: stop it at that phase, to me, when I'm saying Clay, 211 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: is when I was looking over this last night, when 212 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: the application went through, this freight train has been quietly 213 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 2: moving in the background that you know was in Chuckkin's hand. 214 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: The District court. Then I went to the Circuit Court, 215 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: and then I went back to chuck In and the 216 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: District Court did I'm sorry, the Circuit Court did something 217 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 2: that completely shows their hand in this. They said, look, 218 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: you either take it to the Supreme Court or the 219 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: clock starts running and Chuck Kin can put this back 220 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: on the calendar. That's what they want, right, They want 221 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: to get to the trials as possible. So now Supreme 222 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 2: Court is probably going to come down, I don't know, 223 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: in the next day or two and say, okay, okay, 224 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: there's a stay. Right. I think they're going to have 225 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 2: to do that, And then they may even I think 226 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 2: they can say we take your application for this stay 227 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: as effectively that they can do this a grant of sert. 228 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 2: They can say we'll look at the immunity claim now too, 229 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: or they can say hold on, brief us in a 230 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: few weeks, brief us on why you know, and go 231 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: through a more standard process. But I can't see a 232 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: way in which they're not looking at this thing and 233 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 2: coming down with a decision about whether the Trump trial 234 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 2: can go forward on the immunity claim within the next 235 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: few months based on the timeline that they've done everything 236 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: so far, unless the Supreme Court is going to say 237 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: all the other courts are moving super fast, We're going 238 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: to move at normal speed, which is quite slow. Yeah, 239 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. I would move at normal speed 240 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: and that would put it. 241 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: Then I think it becomes difficult to start before August 242 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: the Jack Smith case, which is then you know, we'll 243 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: also see we still got to figure out what's going 244 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: to happen in New York City. Is the Alvin braggcase 245 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: going to go forward first? Because I think that can 246 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: raw foot things. But then you kind of get into, 247 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: I think a very difficult proposition where if the case 248 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: is not starting till August, and if we presume that 249 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: the case is going to Remember I was looking at 250 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: this book. Do you know the first votes start getting 251 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: cast in September? I mean, I know, it's crazy, Like 252 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: I think the first vote gets cast in on September twentieth, 253 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: is the first day that anybody can vote the presidential election. 254 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: Given how much early voting and everything else there already is, 255 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be hard to get any 256 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: verdict in the Jack Smith case before many voters are 257 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: already going out and casting. I think they view it 258 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: as just the trial might be enough, and that's why 259 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: it's all about just getting it to the trial. So 260 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: if they get regardless of the outcome, that yeah, regardless 261 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: of the outcome, they just feel like if they can 262 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: get Trump in a courtroom at the height of the election, 263 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: you got a guy who's an accused criminal running against 264 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: wherever the Democrats are running. 265 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: We talk about that in a few minutes. I think 266 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: that's I think that's the whole game. And I don't 267 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 2: know how the Supreme Court, given how the other courts 268 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: have operated now, it will look like they're doing Trump's 269 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 2: bidding if they don't move fast. And there is a 270 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 2: pretty strong case to sit when I say that, that's 271 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,599 Speaker 2: what the Democrats will obviously say, and there is a 272 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: pretty strong case for you know, you got to let 273 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: this thing move through and be finished. I mean, one 274 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: of the problems here is why shouldn't the whole process 275 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: be finished? Because even if Trump is found guilty, he 276 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: should be able to appeal it. And what if he 277 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: was appeal what if his appeal is upheld of the 278 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: conviction that Jack Smith gets, but that appeal doesn't come 279 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: till after the election, you know what, I mean, the. 280 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: Whole I don't think there's any way the Supreme Court 281 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: will rule on a Trump appeal before the election. 282 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: No, that's but that's what I'm saying, is that the 283 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 2: appeal could come after the election, and so you don't 284 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: even get fair process even if you get a verdict 285 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: the first time around. I mean, imagine, imagine this scenario. 286 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: Trump goes to trial, Trump gets convicted. Let's say it's September, 287 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: right theoretically, yeah, and then there's an election, whatever the 288 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: outcome is, and then Trump on appeal in January or 289 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: you know, appeal says, uh, you know what, actually he's 290 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 2: not guilty. 291 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean, how does that I don't think that I 292 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: don't think that's a crazy I don't think that timeline 293 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: is crazy at all. Which is why I remember, if 294 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: there are five justices who really think this is an 295 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: affront to American democracy, they can say that he has 296 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: immunity and this case is done. 297 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if Andy, Cody, Barrett and and Cavanick. 298 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: Yeah right, that's not being talked about a lot. 299 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: They could theoretically say this case is you know, this 300 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: case is within the bounds of presidential authority and just 301 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: toss it in July. 302 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: Would you you want to play you want to play 303 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: a bet on that one. 304 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: I think it's unlikely, but I do think they're going 305 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: to cut Jack Smith's charges in half. I think they're 306 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: going to toss the half of the and I think 307 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: if they can get one, if they can bring one 308 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: felony indictment to trial against Trump, that that's that's the 309 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: whole that's the whole game. 310 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: That's the whole goal. I don't know. I mean, all 311 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: I know is the application. When you because you know 312 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: the application amended to it. This is appended appended to it. Sorry, 313 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: was the district court and the circuit courts previous actions. 314 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: When you look through it, you're like, this is a sham. 315 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 2: This is a total sham. Oh, it's appeals all. 316 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: It's all completely and I have to be careful not 317 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: to curse because I'm so far made it almost three 318 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: years with you, it's all bs. 319 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: An appeal decision should take six months usually, I know, 320 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: I know, six months. They're doing this stuff in ten days, 321 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: five days, folks. It the fixes in times ten.

Okay, grab 346 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: the transcript, Ali flag this. I'm giving you my prediction 347 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: for what the Supreme Court is going to do, because 348 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about this rushed idea to try to get 349 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: the Jackson Smith case to trial. Buck, I think you 350 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: have to think about all three of these cases not 351 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: as individual decisions, because they'll be seen as a collective whole, 352 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: as sort of the Trump docket on the Supreme Court. 353 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: I think the Supreme Court, by at least seven. 354 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: To two, maybe nine to zero, is going to say 355 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: Trump can't be taken off the ballot in Colorado. 356 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: That will be considered a Trump win. 357 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: I think, Buck, they are going to say five to 358 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: four that half of the jack Smith cases cannot be tried, 359 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: that they are misusing the statutes on the jan sixth cases, and. 360 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: Then I think six ' three. 361 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: Maybe five to four, but six ' three more likely 362 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: they will say Trump does not have broad immunity, so 363 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: Trump will win two of the cases, lose one, and 364 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: then we come back. 365 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 2: This is the big question that you've been asking. 366 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: I think they will issue all of those opinions other 367 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: than the Colorado case, which I think will come sooner 368 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: on the last day of the court, which will be 369 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: sometime in late June early. 370 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 2: Joe wants, so does Jack Smith get to trial? I 371 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: say you question, you say yes. I'll tell you what 372 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 2: I think when we come back back. It's called the teas, 373 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: all right. So I was gonna lay out a whole 374 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 2: range of topics today for the show, but we got 375 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 2: a little side because there's many things, many of the 376 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: things have happened, Biden's declining state of mind. Also, Clay. 377 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 2: At some point, I'm going to ask you, uh, there's 378 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 2: a chart the Wall Street Journals shared of the American 379 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: jobs that skew heavily to one gender. I actually, yes, yes, 380 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 2: we'll hold this for the end. We're not gonna do 381 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 2: it right now, but I want, I want, I want 382 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 2: everyone to think about this one. I want you to 383 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 2: think about this one. The general you, uh, if you 384 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 2: had to pick one that skewed heavily female and had 385 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: to pick one that skewed incredibly heavily male, which ones 386 00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: from the list would it be. But we'll get to 387 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 2: that a little bit first up here. So it just 388 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: struck me last night. I had this because I wanted 389 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: to read the just to update everybody. There's an application 390 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,479 Speaker 2: from Trump's team to the Supreme Court for a stay 391 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: of the Circuit Court in DC. Circuit Court in d 392 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: C gave a deadline for Trump's team to put in 393 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: this application, and if they don't put it in, the 394 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: Circuit Court said, we're sending it back to Chuck kitt 395 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 2: in the district court. She can put a new trial 396 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,199 Speaker 2: date on the calendar and it's all systems go. Trump's 397 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: team put in the state of Supreme Court or we 398 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 2: need to hear from the Supreme Court. But I went 399 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 2: through the whole document YEP last night and added to it. 400 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: You can see the arguments, but also you can see 401 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: the other decisions that have been handed down and the timeline, 402 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 2: and they are at warp speed, or if you're a 403 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 2: space Balls fan, ludicrous speed. They are leaving this thing. 404 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: What should take six months in the appeals process, they're 405 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 2: doing in ten days or you know, or five days. 406 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: And this is so clear what's going on with that 407 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 2: in mind it does go to the Supreme Court. I 408 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 2: already said I think that Jack Smith is going to 409 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: squeeze in this trial before the election. That is that 410 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 2: is where my head is at right now. Do you 411 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 2: think he get Does he get to a trial before 412 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 2: we cast our votes? Yes? Or no? I don't think so. 413 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 2: All right, I've got a couple. I've got a couple. 414 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: First of all, I think he'd only have two charges left, 415 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: and I think the Supreme Court is not going to 416 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: be a part of the rocket docket. 417 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 2: I think there's a chance. 418 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: Again, I don't think it's likely, but I think there's 419 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: a chance they say that Trump has immunity here. Again 420 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: I said, I think that they will not say that. 421 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw out a couple of crazy things for 422 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: everybody to think about. 423 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: One one. 424 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: I think, uh, there's possibility that Merrick Garland, and I 425 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: know some of you out there are gonna say this 426 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: never happened, that Merrick Garland, who I think is feuding 427 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: a little bit with Joe Biden right now, steps in 428 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: and says, we're not because the General Department of Justice 429 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: policy that you do not have political trials during a 430 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: during a political season, and that would clearly be the 431 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: case here because it would have to go on in August, September, October. 432 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: I think that's possible. Second part here, Buck and and 433 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. You guess it's time out for saying 434 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: anything is possible. 435 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: Mister Clay, all right, you got to tell us what 436 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: if you're making predictions, it can't be a possible prediction. 437 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm not in Merrick Garland's head, right, But 438 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland made Robert her a special counsel. Robert Her 439 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: again gave Biden a pass on a willful criminal violation, 440 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: which I disagree with, but he also really and we're 441 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: going to talk about the cognition issues may have cut 442 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: the legs out from underneath the Biden presidency. 443 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 2: We're about to get into that. 444 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: And I think the rig job that they tried to 445 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: push through, remember the hunter Biden no charges, everything else, 446 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: the Politico story where Biden went off and said he 447 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: doesn't like Merrick Garland and he's not going to bring 448 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: him back. I think there's a possibility that Merrick Garland 449 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: has a better betterment of the country moment where he 450 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: says I'm not going to allow this trial to go 451 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: forward and it doesn't happen, and I understand. 452 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: Then I would give you one hundred to one odds 453 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 2: on this product. I mean, this prediction is Bunkersville. You 454 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 2: have way too much faith in Merrick Garland, way too 455 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: much faith in it. I have. 456 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: I have faith as a warrior in the same way 457 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: that Judge Mary Ellen Noriyaeika Trump appointee said no. 458 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 2: To the Sweetheart Deal. Remember I was like the only 459 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: person saying Garland is a Biden appointee. There's a big 460 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: difference here. I get it. 461 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: But ultimately, Merrick Garland is judged by history, not by 462 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And if you are over seventy years old, 463 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: do you want to be the guy who is ramming 464 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: through a conviction that to your point years from now, 465 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: in the moment, you can make choices that seem like 466 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: good choices when you sit back. That's what the law does. 467 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: Warriors sit back and they think ideally. Judges in particular, 468 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: you have zero faith. 469 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 2: I still are in the midst of all out law 470 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 2: fair against the leading republic the Republican nominee. They have 471 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 2: broken all the taboos, they have crossed all the rubicons. 472 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 2: They get a crap about precedent, about prior practice, about 473 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 2: DOJ guidance, And you think Merrick Garland is going to 474 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: be the man standing athwart the madness and allowing people 475 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 2: to vote on Trump. 476 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: I don't know, I do, I do have still I'm like, 477 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: if this were a movie, I would be like Luke Skywalker, 478 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: who's still believes that Darth vaderie in Vader. 479 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 2: But do you remember what happened to Vader? Wasn't good? 480 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 2: Wasn't good. 481 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: I'm just saying Vader went down, but he had a 482 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: moment of redemption, Buck, I still believe in the possibility 483 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: of redemption. 484 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 2: Spoiler alert. 485 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: By the way, if you haven't seen Return of the Jedi, 486 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: I believe Merrick Garland could be like Darth Vader there 487 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: at the end, getting his helmet pulled off, breathing slowly 488 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: as the empire crumbles around him, recognizing that he still 489 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: went to law school and he still became a lawyer, 490 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: and he held his hand up and he swore an 491 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: oath to the law to preserve the country. 492 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 2: Okay, this is the craziest most outlandis theory. I think 493 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 2: you've ever leveled on the show. And if you happen 494 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 2: to end up being right, we'll have to come up 495 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: with I don't know, I'll have to bow down liability. 496 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: Buck, and I don't even know what the law would happen. 497 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: I think there's some possibility that they try. So this 498 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: is if Merrick Garland doesn't have his Darth Vader redemption moment. 499 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: Second part here, I think there's some possibility that Trump 500 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: refuses to show up for the trial. And if he 501 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 1: refuses to show up for the trial, I don't know 502 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: what the what the process of the courts would be. 503 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 1: Are they going to arrest President? 504 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: What do you mean? They would have to hold them 505 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 2: in contempt and threaten to incarcerat him, right, I. 506 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: Know, but I don't know what the process under which 507 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: that would occur. They would put him in prison, and 508 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: they would put him in handcuffs and lead him into court. 509 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: Like I think that this could blow up in their 510 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: faces and there could be all sorts of procedural machinations 511 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: associated with If Trump just says, screw you, guys, I'm 512 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: campaigning for president. 513 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 2: I'm not showing up for your sham trial. That theory 514 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: is that's hardcore but not crazy. You'r Merrick Garland theory. 515 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: I'm just I can't even be I can't co sign it. 516 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 2: I don't even know what's happened. Someone's kidnapped play today, 517 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 2: but you're Trump's defying the court. That's certainly within the 518 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: realm of Trump's attitude, as we've seen in the civil trials. 519 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 2: And I do think it raises an interesting question of 520 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 2: do they really have the un once to Do you 521 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 2: have the SSS stops to put these months Donald Trump 522 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 2: day in prison or jail in Washington, DC? 523 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: Are you going to go down to mar Lago and 524 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: arrest him? I mean to me, how does that play politically? 525 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer, but I think it's a 526 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: pretty crazy look for Joe. Think about this buck for 527 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's Department of Justice to travel to mar A Lago, 528 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: storm mar A Lago, take his chief political rival, put 529 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: him in cuffs, and sit him in prison. I think 530 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 1: that is potentially a play we could have if they 531 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: try to put this in on court. 532 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 2: If I think we don't have the Darth Vader reemp, 533 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 2: I think you underestimate the viciousness and the go it 534 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: all the way, at all costs nature of the Democrat 535 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 2: opposition against Trump. I think they will do whatever they would. 536 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 1: You advise Trump to refuse to show up and make 537 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: them come tomorrow Lago and put him in cuffs. Politically, 538 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: not a legal analysis, but a political analysis. 539 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: Uh. 540 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: I don't know how. I don't know how people, because look, 541 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: if the Supreme Court, let's just let's just we're leaving 542 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 2: something out here and we've gotten way down. There's news 543 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 2: today that we have to get this. This is the election, okay, 544 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: which is crazy to think about it. It's a ways 545 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 2: out there. If the Supreme Court allows the trial to 546 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: go forward, effectively, I think then that puts a stamp 547 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: of Look, he's not immune and they brought charges and 548 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 2: he's facing trial and a majority conservative or at least, 549 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: you know, theoretically conservative court allowed the trust. The Supreme 550 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 2: Court could we didn't even talk about this. They could 551 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 2: just say nas, sorry, this whole thing is you know, 552 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: he's got immunity to sham basically shut it down, shut 553 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: it all down. That could happen. I don't think that's 554 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 2: going to happen. I give that like a ten percent, 555 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: five percent chance something in that neighborhood. But if they 556 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 2: allow it to go forward and there is this trial, 557 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 2: I mean everything, this is this is sort of what 558 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: what I was thinking about last night. And then and 559 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: then we have to we have to do a reading. 560 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: We have to come back and talk about Decline and 561 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 2: Biden apparently hour two and even get back to it. 562 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: Here's my underlying thesis for so much at this play, 563 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: or maybe just thought process for this Everything that we've 564 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: said they wouldn't do, not we but you know, everything 565 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 2: that the consensus opinion had been, how they would never dare. 566 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 2: They would never dare do that against Trump they have 567 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: done at every step of the way. There has been 568 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: no impeach them once, yes, impeach him twice, yes, Special 569 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: Council Russia collusion, yes. Trying to get charged against him, yes, 570 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 2: trying to use emolument's clause yes, right, and now this 571 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 2: four criminal indictments. I mean, the whole thing is nuts. 572 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: They have broken down the barriers, the bulwarks of sanity 573 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 2: at every stage. So we think at the last moment 574 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 2: that we think it's gonna hold. I don't know. I 575 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 2: don't I don't think. I don't see it. That's that's 576 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 2: my problem. 577 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: We I mean, we're truly in uncharted waters, unprecedented era, 578 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: and it may well decide the election. By the way 579 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: I would advise Trump if he were asking me, I 580 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: would say, don't show up for trial. If they try 581 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: to do trial, make them come to mar A Lago, 582 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: storm mar A Lago and take you out in cuffs 583 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: in the middle of a fall presidential campaign. That's what 584 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: I would suggest. Now Trump may prefer buck that the 585 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: whole charade. 586 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 2: Of the trial. 587 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: He may want to stand on the steps and make 588 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: the argument. But I think forcing Joe Biden's Department of 589 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: Justice to arrest you when we are all voting may 590 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: have started, I think would blow up in Joe Biden's 591 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: face in a massive way. I really really do, regardless 592 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: of what the trial was at that point. We'll talk 593 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: about that. Also, Joe Biden's declining cognition. Will it even 594 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: be Joe Biden in charge?

We got 621 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 2: into a big discussion about the legal gauntlet that Trump 622 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: is going through. Here and how it is not following 623 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 2: regular procedure. We haven't talked about Fannie Willis, who I 624 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: don't think she's going to be running a criminal prosecution 625 00:32:56,200 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 2: of Donald Trump that much longer. The judge in the 626 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: Trump election Now I gotta specified. This is the Trump 627 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 2: Georgia election case which has the RICO component and the 628 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 2: something eighteen defendants or something like that, the Rico case 629 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: in Georgia brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis, 630 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 2: And it now comes up that the judge in that 631 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 2: case is moving forward with misconduct with the misconduct hearing, 632 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 2: and that the DA may be disqualified. Now I think 633 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 2: it is based on what we know. And she remember 634 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 2: she has not come out and said I didn't do 635 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 2: these things or this is She basically said, yeah, I 636 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: did some stuff, but it wasn't really bad. You know, 637 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 2: he's low, she said to Ben's. 638 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: Racist to the relationship, but said the relationship didn't start 639 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: until after she had already hired him, and then it 640 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: didn't impact any of the investigation at all. And she 641 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 1: said on some of these vacations that they clearly went on. 642 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: I paid sometimes and he paid other times. In an 643 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 1: effort to try to remove the argument that she had 644 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: somehow personally benefited from money that was sent to him 645 00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: in taxpayer funds. 646 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 2: Now they are now going to examine whether. 647 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: She was telling the truth about when the relationship began, 648 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 1: among other things, because now anybody out there who's ever 649 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: been in a relationship, sometimes you don't know the official 650 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 1: start date of the relationship, right, Maybe you made out 651 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: some time at a party and then you didn't start 652 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: dating for a couple of months. 653 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 2: Maybe you broke up started again, I don't know, right. 654 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: This is like the Ross Rachel we were on a 655 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: break famous line that Ross yells out when Rachel finds 656 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: out that he slept with somebody else. 657 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 2: Right, So from friends, I said, friends, right. 658 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, but yes, it's most of you probably are familiar 659 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: somewhat with that aspect of the plot out there. That's 660 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: very iconic in pop culture. 661 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 2: Now. 662 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: But this is a mess, and she's in real trouble. 663 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: And I said, as soon as the evidence came out 664 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: of the relationship, I said, there's no way she can 665 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: stay on this case. And I maintain that, and I 666 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: don't think there's any way that he can stay on 667 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,479 Speaker 1: this case. And that would mean they need to find 668 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: a new DA which would mean effectively this case is 669 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: over and she's gonna be lucky if she's not ultimately 670 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: charged with a crime herself. When all this is out, 671 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: and some people out there say, well, what's the significance here? 672 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 2: She can't lie to the judge. 673 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: Now if there's evidence that she was in a relationship again, 674 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 1: that we could have it Bill Clinton like moment buck 675 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: where she says, you know, that depends on what the 676 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: definition of the word relatesationship is, right, like when did 677 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,600 Speaker 1: it start? Maybe that's her defense, But she's not going 678 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: to be able tough spot. 679 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 2: She's not going to be able to stay on in 680 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 2: this case, okay, because now she's a distraction no matter what, 681 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 2: whether there's sanctions against her or anything. I agree that's 682 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 2: a separate that's going to come down to the facts 683 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 2: of the case. But I think it's very unlikely she's 684 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 2: going to be able to stay in this case. And 685 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 2: then you get to well as someone else going to 686 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 2: continue it from her office. Right, it's not necessarily the 687 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 2: case that it hasn't been tried yet, so it's not 688 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 2: like a mistrial situation or something else. Because there was 689 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 2: prosecutorial misconduct. So maybe somebody else takes up this mantle. 690 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if somebody else would 691 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 2: want to step up into this given the challenges that 692 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 2: it already has. And I think that this case all 693 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 2: along was going to be the hardest to get done, 694 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 2: and now I think there's effectively no chance it'll get 695 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 2: done before the elections. So it was an act of 696 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 2: political advancement for Fannie Willis to brit to bring it 697 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 2: in the first place, and I think that's as far 698 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 2: as it's going to go likely. I don't think Trump's 699 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 2: in real jeopardy from this one anymore. I agree. 700 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: I also think if you analyze it purely from the location, 701 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: Trump's gonna win Florida, Trump is gonna lose DC, Trump 702 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: is gonna lose New York. Georgia is the only swing 703 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: state where they were attempting to bring a case. I 704 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 1: actually think Trump is gonna comfortably win Georgia. I do, 705 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: and some of you out there may be not as 706 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: confident as I am. I am of the states that 707 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: will flip or could flip if I were betting. Right now, 708 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: I feel the most confident in Trump winning Georgia. Of 709 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: Trump winning any of the states that he did not 710 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: win in twenty twenty. I would be stunned at this 711 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: point if Trump is not gonna worse so than Arizona. Yeah, really, yeah, 712 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: because Arizona's going to be a mess with Carrie Lake, 713 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: maybe Kirsten Cinema and Reuben Gayet and the mess that's 714 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: going on out there. I feel like looking at the because, 715 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: in other words, you've got a Senate seat going on simultaneously. 716 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 1: There's no other race going on in Georgia that's going 717 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,439 Speaker 1: to gin up Democrat turnout, And so yeah, I'm most 718 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 1: I think Trump will win both Georgia and Arizona in 719 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, which would mean he would only need 720 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: one of the Midwest states in order to get over 721 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,240 Speaker 1: the number. But I feel the most confident about Georgia. 722 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: If I were betting right now on states that would 723 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: flip their result from twenty twenty, I would bet that 724 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: Georgia would be the one that Trump wins the most 725 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: comfortably because most of the data buck that's out there 726 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 1: right now has Trump. All the polling in Georgia has 727 00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,720 Speaker 1: Trump up seven or eight points. 728 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. I love your optimism though about how 729 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 2: Georgia is in the bag already. That's good. 730 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: I also think by the way Georgia has added since 731 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, a lot of people have moved to our 732 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: red state voters to Georgia. I think Georgia has benefited 733 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: from out of out of blue state red migration. 734 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 2: The state of Georgia has been the scene of more 735 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 2: Republican own goals and missed opportunities than I think any 736 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 2: other state for the last certainly the last four years. 737 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 2: It has been when we lost three winnable Senate seats 738 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 2: there at this point three should have won Senate seat correct. 739 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 2: Think about the difference that would have made everybody. Three 740 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 2: out of three we drop in Georgia. So I'm hoping 741 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: that we've learned some lessons there in those Senate races, 742 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 2: and that Georgia ends up being the way going the 743 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 2: way that we wanted to. I will take some of 744 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 2: your calls close us out. Eight hundred and two two 745 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 2: two eight A two.

Play just for fun, like try to see 814 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 2: if you could what would Clay Travis winning a Super 815 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 2: Bowl look like? You know what I mean? And it 816 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 2: turns you into. 817 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,919 Speaker 1: Have you No, I haven't actually gone on and looked 818 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: at it at all. You have you just kind of 819 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: played around with a tiny bit. I tried chat GPT 820 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: to see what that was like. 821 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 2: And I'm somebody who's I admit this that I'm by 822 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 2: no means even particularly technically inclined. I think all the 823 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 2: stuff about how artificial intelligence is going to turn into 824 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:44,359 Speaker 2: something akin to the Skynet machine from Terminator, and that 825 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 2: the machines could destroy us all, I think that's a 826 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 2: little overblown. But I've even thought about it. 827 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,439 Speaker 1: S already cut you off, but I have thought about 828 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: it in the context of our show, and even in 829 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: the context of a lot of you out there listen 830 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: to Rush for over the years. What's a little bit 831 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,799 Speaker 1: scary to me is, let's say something happens to us. 832 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: Russia is obviously passed, but something happens to us down 833 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 1: the line. I feel like they could put all of 834 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,399 Speaker 1: the audio from us, because you can basically have us 835 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: saying every word under the sun we're on fifteen hours 836 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:22,520 Speaker 1: a week, and say, have Clay and or Buck talk 837 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: about you know, something that's going to happen in twenty 838 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: fifty based on what we've said in the past to 839 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 1: try to create a new version of a show, right, 840 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 1: Rush talk for thirty three years, there is a consistency. 841 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 1: I would argue to the things that he would say. 842 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: Could you take what he has said about past issues 843 00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 1: and try to create a new version. 844 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,520 Speaker 2: Commenting on real life? That's sary, right, I mean, you know, 845 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:57,399 Speaker 2: human the AAI can't do creativity and improvisation and these 846 00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:59,319 Speaker 2: things the way that human beings can. That's just the 847 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 2: bottom line. But AI doesn't have weird moments like we 848 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 2: hear on this show. For example, how much time did 849 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 2: we spend talking about whether Clay could have a dental 850 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 2: hygienist who was a guy? You know, he got very 851 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 2: deep into that conversation, and I was like, maybe we 852 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 2: should talk about the inflation data, which is troubling for 853 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 2: the economy. He's like, hold on a second, buck, you 854 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,319 Speaker 2: want a dude with his fingers in the I was 855 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,720 Speaker 2: thinking about that during the break. 856 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,240 Speaker 1: I think the reason there's no male hygienist is men's 857 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,320 Speaker 1: hands are too big and they don't fit in mouths. 858 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this while I was going to 859 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:28,960 Speaker 1: get my smoothie. 860 00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 2: I mean, if you watch enough Seinfeld. You will know 861 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 2: that some ladies have man hands. It's a thing, and 862 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 2: they're probably not dental hygienis. That's probably true as well. 863 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,360 Speaker 2: All right. So AI is all over the place, and 864 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 2: it's happening more and more where you'll see something and 865 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 2: it's for parody purposes. It's amazing, right because you can 866 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 2: you can use it to you know, if you used 867 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 2: an AI machine, you could have I don't know, Nancy 868 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 2: Pelosi drinking chardonnay and insider trading while cackling about you know, 869 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 2: the lower clock and how they're gonna be stuck on 870 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 2: this wheel of poverty forever and it will make well 871 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:05,800 Speaker 2: and that would just be a photo of Nancy Pelosi, 872 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 2: but it could make you some image that would show 873 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 2: you Nancy Pelosi, and it would be taking into account 874 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,360 Speaker 2: those instructions, right, that's the way it works. So the 875 00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 2: companies had the big AI companies in San Francisco, they're 876 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:26,880 Speaker 2: not banning it. This just happened, but they are trying 877 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 2: to come up with guidelines about what the markings will 878 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,879 Speaker 2: be on it, how they'll identify AI content. Because here's 879 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:40,799 Speaker 2: where this is all going. There's gonna be stuff out 880 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 2: there that looks because this stuff it used to be 881 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 2: like you could see, you know, with what's that program 882 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,720 Speaker 2: ever photoshop, right, you can see if somebody puts someone's 883 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 2: head on something else, it didn't look quite right. And 884 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 2: with some of this AI stuff now you really can't tell. 885 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 2: And that ability to look at something and say this 886 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 2: has been messed with, forged, faked. Remember where a big 887 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 2: deal it was for the Bush, the Bush administration when 888 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 2: he was running what was this in two thousand and four, 889 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 2: right against John Kerry and Dan Rather had the forged 890 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 2: National Guard documents right, and he tried to do that 891 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,320 Speaker 2: to Now, I mean, anybody can come up with forged 892 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 2: National Guard documents to try to It's so easy to 893 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 2: make this stuff. And so on the one hand, Clay, 894 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 2: I'm worried about the actual weaponization of the technology for 895 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,880 Speaker 2: dare I say, disinformation purposes. But just because the left 896 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,719 Speaker 2: is obsessed with disinformation that isn't real doesn't mean that 897 00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 2: there isn't disinformation, which I always think is important to 898 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 2: remind people that's a real thing. They say, Joe Biden, 899 00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 2: can you know tie his own shoes? There's plenty of 900 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 2: disinformation out there. But Clay, the other part of it 901 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 2: is too think about the ways they can shut down. 902 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 2: Now they can just say, look what they did to 903 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 2: the Hunter Biden laptop. They said it bears all the 904 00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 2: hallmarks of washing disinformation. Right. That was the way they 905 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,200 Speaker 2: tried to underm on it and maybe even help Joe 906 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 2: win the election, or made Joe win the election by lying. Now, 907 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 2: anytime you see something, if you have a video of 908 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,160 Speaker 2: Joe Biden accepting a bag of cash from one of 909 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 2: Hunter's Ukrainian bagmen, you could just say, I don't know, 910 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 2: it looks like AI to me. Nick, prove to me 911 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,239 Speaker 2: it's not AI. And this is going to be I 912 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 2: think a big argument that people have over things. They're 913 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,000 Speaker 2: going to just say that they're going to lie about it, 914 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 2: and it's going to really confuse the electorate. 915 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,080 Speaker 1: I think that's right, and it's going to require a 916 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,000 Speaker 1: lot of what people will say as well, is there 917 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 1: another video? 918 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 2: Right? 919 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: It used to be like, oh well we've got a 920 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:40,359 Speaker 1: video evidence of it, Okay, like that is legit. Now 921 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: it's going to turn into if you want to argue 922 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 1: that something's not real, or if you want to argue 923 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,360 Speaker 1: that something is real, you're going to need multiple versions 924 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: of that reality in order to prove it. And I 925 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 1: just I think we're going to get into an era 926 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,720 Speaker 1: where a lot of people aren't going to care either, 927 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,160 Speaker 1: and they're going to spread so quickly on social media 928 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,239 Speaker 1: that what is and what is not fake is going 929 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,840 Speaker 1: to become increasingly difficult, because if something is real and 930 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 1: it's particularly politically damaging, you can just say it's fake, 931 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: and how do you prove it? 932 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:21,839 Speaker 2: To your point? Right? 933 00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:26,839 Speaker 1: The Hunter Biden laptop all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, Well, 934 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 1: anybody who looked into that at all knew that this 935 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,400 Speaker 1: would have to be that based on the amount of 936 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,520 Speaker 1: video and textual evidence this would there was no way 937 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: to fake that much. But if you want to believe 938 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:43,120 Speaker 1: that something is is fake, you always have an excuse. 939 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 2: You always have the issue. You've basically created a reasonable 940 00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:55,480 Speaker 2: doubt excuse for any information that comes across the Internet 941 00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 2: that you don't like about your guy. You can just 942 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:58,680 Speaker 2: always say, I know it looks like AI to me. 943 00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 2: Proved to it's not AI. And given what they did 944 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 2: with the Hunter Biden laptop, how could anyone think that 945 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,040 Speaker 2: that's farfield? I think it's almost a certainty clay, which 946 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 2: is why they have this manifesto that the biggest tech 947 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:14,759 Speaker 2: companies in the world. And remember these are some of 948 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,040 Speaker 2: the richest and most powerful countries, I'm sorry, companies more 949 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 2: powerful than many countries on Earth. We're talking about you know, TikTok, Open, Ai, Adobe, Google, Meta, 950 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,399 Speaker 2: all of it. Right, these are the big players, and 951 00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 2: there's pressure from regulators about this, and people are saying 952 00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 2: they need to stop the spread of fake election content. 953 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 2: But this is why, you know, all along the notion 954 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 2: that they'll be able to police lies on the internet, 955 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,719 Speaker 2: You're never going to be able to police lies on 956 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,960 Speaker 2: the internet. So what ends up happening is they create 957 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,240 Speaker 2: the context for the disparate policing of what one side 958 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 2: doesn't want to hear anymore or doesn't want to hear 959 00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 2: in the moment. And that's how we got the twenty 960 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 2: twenty election, right, That's how we got shutting you know, 961 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,280 Speaker 2: Twitter saying that it was hacked material all this stuff. 962 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 2: It was essentially a fix. So I know, we don't 963 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 2: talk about AI a lot on this show. The implications 964 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 2: for a whole range of businesses are It's truly enormous. 965 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,520 Speaker 2: In video is one of the is probably the biggest 966 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 2: stock success story I think of the year. I mean 967 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,640 Speaker 2: in terms of just having a massive market cap company, 968 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,920 Speaker 2: you know, skyrocketing over the last twelve months or so. 969 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,880 Speaker 2: I mean, there's probably some others, but I'm just saying 970 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,360 Speaker 2: it's a huge company and this is going like we 971 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,919 Speaker 2: know this is going to happen. This is coming down 972 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,319 Speaker 2: the pike. And honestly, Clay, do you have I don't 973 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 2: know how we really stop it other than just you 974 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,920 Speaker 2: fight bad speech with good speech, because there's going to 975 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:51,520 Speaker 2: be AI deep fakes circulating that do sway people and 976 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 2: that people believe that's going to happen. There's no question. 977 00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a lot of people have 978 00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 1: to comment on it. I think it'll start this election 979 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,960 Speaker 1: because I would expect that they'll be both pro Biden 980 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,920 Speaker 1: and anti Biden, and pro Trump and anti Trump AI 981 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 1: fakes that are circulating on a regular basis, and I 982 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 1: just Biden is speaking right now, by the way. I 983 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: actually think this is where multiple videos become necessary so 984 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:25,080 Speaker 1: that you can actually see what is and what is 985 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 1: not said, because it's I don't know the answer of 986 00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 1: how you stop it from having a massive impact going forward, 987 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: and I think we're just at the precipice of beginning 988 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,000 Speaker 1: to understand how impactful it's going to be, because one 989 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,080 Speaker 1: thing for there to be misinformation or disinformation out there, 990 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,759 Speaker 1: which really the way it's been applied is often just 991 00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 1: arguments you don't like, right, more so than anything else. 992 00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,919 Speaker 1: That's the way they've tried to police it. But they 993 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,840 Speaker 1: are arguments that are being made, and they're trying to 994 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,400 Speaker 1: check you. What about when the argument is is this 995 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 1: real or not? That becomes a totally different discussion. 996 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:08,279 Speaker 2: Right. 997 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,480 Speaker 1: It's one thing to say, oh, like I saw the 998 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: New York Times this morning, Buck, I was reading, and 999 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 1: I do think it's a good stat where you know, 1000 00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 1: what percentage of parents have gotten their kids the updated 1001 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:24,240 Speaker 1: booster shot tiny, I don't know, it's very five Yeah, 1002 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,879 Speaker 1: ninety five percent of parents have not gotten their kids. 1003 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:28,839 Speaker 2: The new booster shot. 1004 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:33,280 Speaker 1: Only forty percent of parents got their kids. The initial 1005 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine that obviously doesn't work, only forty percent. 1006 00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 2: Did Those are facts? Right? Somebody could dispute whether or 1007 00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 2: not that's true. 1008 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,919 Speaker 1: Somebody putting out a video that is either showing something 1009 00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,800 Speaker 1: very positive about the COVID shot or something very negative. 1010 00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 2: The first thing you have to figure out is is 1011 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,360 Speaker 2: this real or not? I see if it's an image, 1012 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:57,759 Speaker 2: for example, and there's no telltale, you know, marks on 1013 00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 2: the image or anything to tell how do you know? 1014 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,839 Speaker 2: How do you know? Yeah, I'm just saying, I mean, 1015 00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,000 Speaker 2: this is where you start to get into and even 1016 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,359 Speaker 2: now we see things sometimes on X that are being 1017 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 2: shared and I think to myself, is this We're just yeah, 1018 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 2: we're yeah. We're just hoping that community notes and crowdsourcing 1019 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,400 Speaker 2: is effectively going to prove, you know what, would let 1020 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,719 Speaker 2: us know if this was fake. It's it's a big 1021 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 2: challenge everybody. I mean, I know it sounds like, oh, 1022 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:25,919 Speaker 2: how much can this could actually turn an election? Maybe 1023 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 2: not this one, maybe not for a few elections, but 1024 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 2: it's coming up where there's going to be such a 1025 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:35,520 Speaker 2: circulation of of fake but high level fake, you know, 1026 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:40,160 Speaker 2: deep fakes, high level faked content online that it's going 1027 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,560 Speaker 2: to sway public opinion, and how do you deal with it. 1028 00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,040 Speaker 2: It's it's really a big challenge. And the notion that 1029 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 2: this could be banned also, I would just that's that's 1030 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 2: not gonna work either. The sound of an unborn baby's 1031 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,319 Speaker 2: heartbeat is a remarkable thing to a pregnant mother. It's 1032 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 2: a forever bonding experience hearing that sound. And to think, 1033 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,200 Speaker 2: just three weeks into a baby's life, that heart begins 1034 00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,279 Speaker 2: to be even while being such a tiny little being 1035 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,760 Speaker 2: inside that mother's womb. At five weeks, a baby's heartbeat 1036 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 2: can be heard on an ultrasound. The staff working at 1037 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 2: the Preborn Network of Clinics know this all too well. 1038 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:14,640 Speaker 2: This is a group of clinics that welcome pregnant mothers 1039 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 2: into their facilities as they considered life or abortion for 1040 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 2: their unborn child. Look. Preborne's mission is saving lives every day. 1041 00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,320 Speaker 2: And I know there are a lot of worthy causes 1042 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,880 Speaker 2: out there, but how many of them would let you 1043 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:30,439 Speaker 2: save tiny baby's lives? And think about all the good 1044 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:31,920 Speaker 2: that has brought into the world with that, What that 1045 00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,360 Speaker 2: does for the mother who makes that choice, for the 1046 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,520 Speaker 2: child who now has life, the future generations that will 1047 00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 2: come from that child. Is there a better way that 1048 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 2: you can do something good with the money that you 1049 00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 2: can spare. Look, I understand the times are tough right now, 1050 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 2: but there are people in this audience who do have 1051 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 2: the means for a leadership gift. This is one hundred 1052 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 2: percent tax deductible. Every dollar goes to Preborn's mission. So 1053 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,800 Speaker 2: would someone listening right now donate ten thousand dollars to 1054 00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,840 Speaker 2: Preborn ten thousand dollars that would get Preborn's network running 1055 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 2: for a couple of days, the whole network. This is 1056 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 2: hundreds of babies that could be saved in this. They're 1057 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,239 Speaker 2: saving about two hundred babies lives a day, as I say, 1058 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 2: at one hundred percent tax deductible, and every dollar goes 1059 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 2: towards saving babies lives. Now, for those of you who 1060 00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 2: obviously don't have ten thousand dollars and a lot of money, 1061 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,719 Speaker 2: I get it. Whatever you can spare helps because there 1062 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 2: are millions of you listen to this right now.
