1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: All right, Thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of 2 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: you for being one of us. Happy Friday, eight hundred 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: and nine, four one. Sean, you want to be a 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: part of the program, we'd love to hear from you today. 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: A lot of outrage apparently Donald Trump. Earlier today sparked outrage. 6 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: Anger posted a picture of himself holding a baseball bat 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,440 Speaker 1: next to a separate photo of Manhattan da Alvin Bragg. 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: Now look, I mean, if you ask me, does this 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: type of thing help Donald Trump? The answers obviously no. 10 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: I don't believe that that's the case. Is one thing 11 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: that always that I always bring up though on this program, 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: and that is selective moral outrage. In other words, it's 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: not consistent outrage, you know, and a lot of it 14 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: goes back to the summer of twenty twenty. We condemn 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: the riots in the summer twenty twenty on this program 16 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: in real time on January sixth, I condemn what was 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: going on at the Capitol. We've got to protect our 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: institut tuitions, we got to protect our elected officials. It's 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: that simple. I said it that day, I said it 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: that night on TV and on I stand by that today. 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: You know, as you know, things I think have gotten very, 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: very very divided and heated. It's not great for the country, 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: that's for sure. But Democrats they only seem to get 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: outraged when it's Donald Trump. They don't seem to get outraged. 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: You know, of the five hundred and seventy four riots 26 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: in the summer twenty twenty. Remember and I'm going to 27 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: play for your montage of Democrats and things that they said. 28 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: But remember, we had thousands of cops that were injured. Nightly. 29 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: They were being pelted with bricks, rocks, bottles, molotov cocktails 30 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: and worse. And we had, you know, thousands of cops injured. 31 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: We had a couple of dozen dead Americans in the 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty. How many of you may have 33 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: been listening when I interviewed Horace Lorenzo Anderson Senior. His son, 34 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: Horace Lorenzo Anderson Junior, died in the Chaz Chop Summer 35 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: of Love Zone spaghetti potluck dinner zone out there in Seattle. 36 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: At the time, it was a shame what happened to him. 37 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: He didn't need to die. And then, you know, even 38 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: to get paramedics into the streets that they had taken over, 39 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: including a police precinct. You know, paramedics had to beg 40 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: permission to get in to help save a life, and 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: they weren't able to save this young man's life. It's 42 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: such a tragedy, you know. But if you look back 43 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: at the Democrats, you know, Nancy Pelosi herself was asked 44 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 1: about it. Nancy Pelosi's about Ryans and Baltimore. Oh well, 45 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna do what they're gonna do, No big deal. 46 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: Let me play. You're gonna hear CNN here, you're gonna 47 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: hear aoc here. You're gonna hear Kamala Harris here, you're 48 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna hear Nancy Pelosi here. Just just you know, as 49 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: you watch their outrage, just remember this is them. We 50 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: will do what they do protest. It is not, generally speaking, unruly. 51 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: What flys have been started. There needs to be unrest 52 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: in the streets for as long as there's unrest in 53 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: our lives. And unfortunately there's a way to go around. 54 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: They're not going to stop, and everyone beware because they're 55 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: not going to stop. It is gonna They're not going 56 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: to stop before election day in November, and they're not 57 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: going to stop after election day. Show me where it 58 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. 59 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: I don't know. We could have a summer of love. 60 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: We have been covering of these various peaceful protests. Destroying 61 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: property which can be replaced is not violent. Our country 62 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: was started because this is how the Boston Tea Party rioting. 63 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: So don't do not get it twisted and think that, oh, 64 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: this is something that has not never happened before, and 65 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: then this is so terrible and where are we in 66 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: these savages and all of that. This is how this 67 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: country was started. I can't with folks that are saying 68 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: we need to stop this unrest, we need to stop violence, 69 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: as though charging someone a thousand dollars a month for 70 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: insulin that they need to survive isn't violent. I mean, 71 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: you see the hypocrisy, the double standard, and how it exists, 72 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: and what this does to society. But you know, do 73 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: I recommend that conservatives, you know, use imagery or language 74 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: like that. I don't. I don't think it gets us far. 75 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking at a country right now that 76 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: is so troubled. I look at a world order that 77 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: is changing right before our eyes, and an emerging axis 78 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: of evil. You know, we haven't spoken enough about President 79 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: and President Putin meeting this week. We haven't talked enough 80 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: about their conversations and about we have an opportunity for 81 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: the first time in a hundred years. That means the US, 82 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: they view, is in a nation in decline and a 83 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: nation incapable of leading the rest of the world. And 84 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: China certainly wants to lead the way and fill that 85 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 1: void with the assistance of Russia. You know, hostile actor 86 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: number one would be, of course China. Number two would 87 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: be Russia. You know. Then you have the communist Chinese 88 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: brokering deals with Iran and Saudi Arabia. Now it's going 89 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: to be a broker deal between Saudi Arabia and Syria. 90 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: Under Donald Trump, we had, you know, an alliance that 91 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: was really powerful and based on US leadership, and that 92 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: was the US, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, the Saudias, the Emirates, 93 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: all against Iranian hegemony. Now we keep reading that, well, 94 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: Iran may in fact be getting nuclear weapons in no 95 00:05:51,720 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: time at all. It's unbelievable. Hang on Edison of texting here, yeah, 96 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: uh earlier this week here we go. Sorry, um, anyway, 97 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: I'm back on the show. I thought, I can't help it, Linda. 98 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes I forgot something I need to get 99 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: it brought in. Listen. People don't always listen three to six. 100 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: And I would just say to whoever is texting you, 101 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: he's very busy right now. If you want to talk 102 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: to him called, he'll be right with him, right with 103 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: you as soon as I can. I think probably the 104 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: funniest thing I saw all week, as it relates to the 105 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: the album Bragg and Stormy Daniels, I can't believe we're 106 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: back to talking about Stormy Daniels, Michael kane U and 107 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: album Braggs, is that if you talk about somebody that 108 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: had an awful week, it was Alvin Bragg. I mean 109 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: between the letter from Michael Collin's attorney from February eighth, 110 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, uh and then Bob Costello's a blockbuster testimony 111 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: that he also gave to the grand jury, but the 112 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: interview that we had with him. I mean, it was 113 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: a bad week and now we're finding help. Michael Abanati 114 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: is back in the mix. I don't know how he's 115 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: able to tweet from prison, but apparently he's able to 116 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: tweet from prison and He's out there saying there are 117 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: many critical facts and pieces of evidence, texts, emails relating 118 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: to the hush money scandal that have yet to see 119 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: the light of day, he said of Bragg's investigation, and 120 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: they will unfortunately be very damaging to the prosecution if 121 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Trump stands trial. At this point, you simply can't build 122 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: a case on the testimony of Michael Kohn and Stormy Daniels. 123 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: He also said that Trump's current attorney, Joe Tacopina, is 124 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: a much more formidable legal advisor to Trump than any 125 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: of the semi celebrity lawyers with whom he's been known 126 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: to associate with. By the way, I've known Tacopina for decades. 127 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: Since he's right about that part. Tacopina knows his way 128 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: around the criminal courtroom, He'll destroy him. Michael Khne on 129 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the stand, especially seeing his cohnas publicly lied for fifteen 130 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: months and now won't stop talking, he asserted, It's going 131 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: to be interesting to see how this unfold. But this 132 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: this this week has been revealing in in more ways 133 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: than I could even that I even could have imagined. Um, 134 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: and that is, you know, you start with a pathetically 135 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: weak case in the before this week started. And if 136 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: you would have asked me over the weekend last week 137 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: and what I thought the odds that brag would bring 138 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: the indictment this week, I would have said they were 139 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: very high percent somewhere over there. And then as the 140 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:34,239 Speaker 1: week was unfolding and his information was coming out, and 141 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: then when I first had the interview with Bob Costello, 142 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: I mean Bob Costello saying he met with Michael Cohn 143 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: and Michael Cohone, he was his legal advisor, and Michael 144 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 1: Cohona is asking him, or Costello is asking him, do 145 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: you have anything on Trump? If they're coming after you 146 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: that that's the only way you're gonna be able to 147 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: make a deal. What do you have on Donald Trump 148 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: that you can give them nothing? And he asked over 149 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: and over and over and over again, and then he 150 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: goes to the next part of the question. You know 151 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: that Michael Khone also admitted to apparently he was suicidal, 152 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: but said under no circumstances. He said, he kept repeating 153 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: it again and again and again, under no circumstances Am 154 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: I going to jail? And then Bob Cole interpreted that 155 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: to mean that he would lie, cheat, steal, do whatever 156 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: was possible. Here's what here's what Bob Costello said, what 157 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: do you have on Donald Trump? And that's when he 158 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: started with the same litany that he wrote used for 159 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: the rest of the two hours. I swear to god, Bob, 160 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: I don't have anything on Donald Trump. But the point 161 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: is when somebody is really thinking of committing suicide and 162 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: you're offering them a legal way out of this. If 163 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: he had any information about Donald Trump, that would have 164 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: been the one time, even for a serial liar like 165 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: Michael Kone to fess up and say, well, I know 166 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: this or that, because I want to save my own hide. 167 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: But he didn't do that. Michael Kohne, who as I 168 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: said before, was pacing back and forth, would suddenly stop 169 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: in the middle of whatever he was talking about and 170 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: turn and point his finger at us and say, I 171 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: want you guys to understand, I will do whatever the 172 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: f I have to do. I will never spend a 173 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: day in jail. He said that at least ten to 174 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: twenty times during that two hour period. It was a 175 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: bizarre mantrap, but it made it clear to us that 176 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen was saying, I will lie, cheat steele, shoot someone. 177 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: I will never spend a day in jail. Okay, So, 178 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: I mean that was so devastating. Then of course the 179 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: exculpatory letter from November eighth of February eighth of twenty 180 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: eighteen by Michael Cohen's attorney. This is Michael Cohen. It 181 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: was his money. He never donated to the Trump campaign. 182 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: The campaign had nothing to do with it. Donald Trump 183 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with it. The Trump organization had 184 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. Blah blah blah. None of 185 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: that is helping Alvin Bragg in his case at all, 186 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: you know. And the biggest indicator that this week made 187 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: a dramatic change for the worse. And if things couldn't 188 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: get worse than that, we were able to find an 189 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: old TMZ piece that was put out and apparently the 190 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,319 Speaker 1: Washington Posted even covered it, and that is Stormy Daniel's 191 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: signature and in our own words saying no, it's it's 192 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: not true. We didn't have a sex that has nothing 193 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: to do with hush money. It just never happened, all right, 194 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: Which Stormy Daniels is the is the jury going to believe? 195 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a big point. The answer is it's 196 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: probably not. The Stormy Daniels of today, It's going to 197 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: be the story mean Daniels back then anyway. So it 198 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: was just a bad week all the way around for 199 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg. And but you know the New York Times 200 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: they had reported the criminal charges against Trump were likely 201 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: in March to ninth. Now here's the other interesting thing, 202 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: and I think the biggest indication that Alvin Bragg is 203 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: baling out of the case and telling Reuters that former 204 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,239 Speaker 1: President Trump is the one that created a false expectation 205 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: of arrest. What do you mean a false expectation of arrest? 206 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: You have a multi year investigation, you can bean a 207 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: grand jury, the DA's meeting with law enforcement to try 208 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: and coordinate an impending arrest of Donald Trump, and was 209 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: supposed to believe though it was Trump that somehow created 210 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: a false expectation of arrest. New York Times reported criminal 211 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: charges against Trump were likely on March the ninth. You know, 212 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: miss Pollet surprise winner herself, Maggie Haberman gets a Polle 213 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: surprise for being wrong on Russia. How that happened? I 214 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: don't we were right on Russia. Where was our Pollet surprise? 215 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: Not that I want one anyway, So I don't think 216 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: it was Trump who created the expectation. It was Bragg 217 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: that created the expectation, and then his office they started 218 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: leaking like a sieve. It's coming, it's coming. And how 219 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump gonna get arrested? And there is he 220 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: going to be put in handcuffs? Is he going to 221 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: be allowed to surrender? Is there going to be a 222 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: perp walk? And so on and so forth. I mean 223 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: that's pretty much how the week unfolded. You know where 224 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: it goes from here? I don't know. I do know this. 225 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: There is such a hatred of Donald Trump. I can't 226 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: even explain it. It's not even rational. It doesn't matter 227 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: how many liberals themselves. Kamala Harris, they're not gonna stop. 228 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: She's talking about the writers. They shouldn't stop. We're not 229 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: gonna stop. I'm like what, and then tweeting out a 230 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: bell fund for the people arrested for writing in the 231 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty. But nobody gets outraged over that. So, 232 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, I like peace. I prefer people just argue 233 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: on the substance and issues of the day. But if 234 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna have one standard for one party, you need 235 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: to have the same standard for another. Party. Hey, Lee, 236 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: all right, as we continue on, thanks for being with 237 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: us as Friday eight hundred and nine for one Sean 238 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: if you to be a part of the program. You know, 239 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: I just don't like the hypocrisy. You know. No, I 240 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: don't want Republicans using incendiary language at all. Ever, I 241 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: don't think it's helpful for the cause. I think we 242 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,239 Speaker 1: argue on the merits. How do we save our economy, 243 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: how do we keep our cities in town safe and secure? 244 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: How do we achieve energy independence? How do we make 245 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: the world a safer place? How do we establish American 246 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: dominance again in the world. Not hard stuff, you know, 247 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi about Baltimore rights well or taking down a monument. 248 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: People will do what they do. Over to MSDNC, this 249 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: is mostly a protest, you know, it's it's not generally 250 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: speaking unruly. But fires have started. Meanwhile, behind the guy, 251 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: there's a massive fire. Congresswoman Presley, there needs to be 252 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: unrest in the streets for as long as there is 253 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: unrest in our lives, and unfortunately there's plenty to go around. 254 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris.

We're 258 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: not going to stop. CNN show me where it says 259 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful. You know, CNN, 260 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: we have been covering these various peaceful protests. Or don lemon, Well, 261 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: this is our nation was founded. Our country was started 262 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: because of the Boston Tea Party.

And I'm grateful for that. But I'm 294 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: telling you, by the way, eighties is very respectable. It's respectable. Yeah, 295 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, but you'll get up to the ninety. 296 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: Have you hit ninety at all? Yet what's your highest time? 297 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: I did good time, you know, But that was like 298 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: when I had an instructor next to me and they 299 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: were like, move your arm, change your hands, do you 300 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: know all the things?

I know? 305 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: The first thing they said was you shoot better than 306 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of law enforcement in the country. I'm like, 307 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: that's not good. Yeah, but you're also not running after 308 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: a perpetrator in the throne.

That's m antisx dot com. 314 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: We'll get back to this leader. But Alvin Bragg is 315 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: now refusing to cooperate with congressional investigators. Bragg formally refused 316 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: to cooperate with House Republicans into what they described as 317 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: the unprecedented abuse of authority against former President Donald Trump, 318 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: and a letter explaining his refusal to cooperate. Bragg return fire, 319 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: complaining that Republicans were conducting quote, an unprecedented inquiry into 320 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: the pending local prosecution. By the way, Chuck Schumer won't 321 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,439 Speaker 1: say that he has confidence in Alvin Bragg. Schumer on 322 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: Wednesday refused to give him a vote of confidence in 323 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: terms of his investigation here. The New York Democrat dodged 324 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: multiple questions from reporters at the US Capital regarding Alvin 325 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,160 Speaker 1: Bragg's Trump probe and gave a less than enthusiastic response 326 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: when asked whether he has confidence in the prosecutor. Look, 327 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: he says, the bottom line is, as I said, it's 328 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: premature to comment on what's happening, and we'll have to 329 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: wait and see what he does. House Republicans are now 330 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: investigating whether DC Democrats pressured Alvin Bragg to try to 331 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: indict Trump. This is pretty interesting. Just the News dot 332 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: Com that's John Solomon's site. Jim Jordan now pressing to 333 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: determine if Democrats and DC now have been politically pressuring. 334 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: The prosecutor here initially passed on this, like the FEC 335 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: passed on this, Like the DJ passed on this, Like 336 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: the prior Manhattan District Attorney passed on all of this. Well, 337 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: so did Alvin Bragg. Then a book comes out. I 338 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: don't know, he got pressure from somebody at someplace somewhere. 339 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: This is what one got. The prosecutor that left angry 340 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: that they didn't bring charges against Trump writes a book. 341 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: He called this the zombie case. Anyway, Jordan said the 342 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: origins of the allegations in the Muller probe were particularly 343 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: interesting to his investigators. He said, this looks like it's 344 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: sprang out of the Special Council's investigation. You know, when 345 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: is this ever gonna end? It's like never ending, non 346 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: stop investigations. But you notice we never get the investigations 347 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: into the bidens. How come they always seem to skate? 348 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: How is that possible? Why do democrats always you know, 349 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: why is there one set of standards for them and 350 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: another set of standard seemingly everybody else. Anyway, I have 351 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: my interview with President Trump Monday night. It's gonna be 352 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: at Maralago, and it's gonna be on camera. I hope 353 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: you'll be able to watch very scary things on the 354 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: world stage. China now. And why wouldn't they threaten the US? 355 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean they got to fly this by balloon over 356 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: the skies of Alaska, on the west coast of Canada 357 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: into Idaho, over our ICBM missile silos. You know what, 358 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: why wouldn't they, you know, be in trying to intimidate 359 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: the US further. Vladimir Putin got away with shooting down 360 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: one of our drones. Anyway, China's now threatened serious consequences today, 361 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: after the US Navy sailed a destroyer around a disputed 362 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: a group of islands in the South China Sea for 363 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: the second day in a row. Beijing is claiming this 364 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: is a violation of their sovereignty and security. On Thursday, 365 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: the US sailed the US one of their ships around 366 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: the islands. By the way, this is international waters. US 367 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: said today that you know, they sailed the ship again 368 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: in the vicinity of the islands, which are occupied by 369 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: China but also claimed by Taiwan and Vietnam as part 370 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: of what is called the Freedom of Navigation Operation. Challenging 371 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: requirements from all three nations require either advanced notification or 372 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: permission before a military vessel sails. My, so here we 373 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,479 Speaker 1: go again. You know, but if you're China, what are 374 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: you thinking. They're not gonna Biden's not going to do anything. Okay, 375 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: Biden did respond to Syria. I give him a tip 376 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: of the hat. Good job, Joey, you did good. You 377 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: gotta have an ice cream tonight. What are you gonna 378 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: do about Vladimir taking out the drone? What are you 379 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: gonna do about the Chinese by balloon? Less than one 380 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: quarter of NATO members met their pledged targets from military spending. 381 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: Only seven of the thirty members of NATO and the 382 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: Military Alliance met the two percent GDP military spending minimum 383 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 1: of the Alliance in twenty twenty two. And meanwhile, what's 384 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: happening with China and Russia and Iran. We have a 385 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: new access of evil emerging right before our eyes. Get this. 386 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: I bet most of you didn't know that this week 387 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: that Tony Blincoln spoke out at a hearing at the 388 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: House Foreign Affair Committee over eighteen months after withdrawal. Remember, 389 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden promised, if there are American citizens left in Afghanistan, 390 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: We're going to stay until we get them all out. 391 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: But during the testimony of Tony blinkoln he admitted that 392 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: there's one hundred and seventy five Americans still in Afghanistan, 393 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: including several who are being held hostage by the Taliban. 394 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: Why didn't they admit this to us at the time 395 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: because we knew it was true. After this revelation, then 396 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: Blincoln refused to commit to further in person testimony on 397 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: the withdrawal. Really, I thought he's supposed to serve us anyway. 398 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: US retaliates with that airstrike in Syria after an Iranian 399 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: drone strike killed the US contractor. Airstrike reportedly killed the 400 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: eight Iranian back fighters. Meanwhile, China and the US are 401 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: in this row over this missile destroyer in the South 402 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: China Sea. China's threatening serious consequences. I actually believe them. 403 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't believe Joe Biden will live the finger. I mean, 404 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: just very very troubling times. Now, we got a great 405 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: new friendship and relationship, you know you would tend to 406 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: think of it would be a good thing. And by 407 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: the way, what's up with Steven Seagal? Did you see 408 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: this Linda shaking the hand of Vladimir Putin. He's a lunatic. Okay, 409 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 1: he's making no secret that he's on Putin's side. Putin 410 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: is a murdering dictator, thug. He invaded a sovereign country. 411 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: He's targeting innocent men, women and children. He's targeting civilian areas, 412 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: he's targeting apartment buildings, he's targeting again, entire neighborhoods. And 413 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'm watching Europe do next to nothing. And 414 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: that's why I said, if Europe is not going to 415 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: step up and pay their percentage of GDP, and if 416 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is going to put handcuffs on Zelensky and 417 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: say no, you can't have thirty MiGs from Poland, then 418 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: we're wasting our time and we're wasting American tax dollars. 419 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: So either those conditions are met, then we can talk 420 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: about US AID the Ukraine moving forward. Not good data said, 421 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: he's one million percent Russian. He's going to teach all 422 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: the Russian military how to become martial artists. Yeah, it's insanity. 423 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: It is insanity. By the way, what happened to him? 424 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: It looks he looks like four times the size of 425 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: what he used to look like. Yeah, there's a lot 426 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: of or something in his class. I don't know what's 427 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: what happened. Did anything happen to him? Yeah, he turned 428 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: into a jerk. Okay, I'll get this. Political insider reporting 429 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: new US bordered data two hundred and eighty four suspected 430 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: terrorists apprehended so far in fiscal year twenty twenty three. 431 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: Now we know of at least one hundred and sixty 432 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: I think seven people on the terror watch list that 433 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: they call it last year. So nearly three hundred suspected 434 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: terrorists have been apprehended attempting to enter the US in 435 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: just the first few months of fiscal year twenty three, 436 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: as twenty eight members of Congress now formed a new 437 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: caucus to address the crisis at the northern border. And 438 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: by the way, why are we getting such a high influx, 439 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: seemingly out of nowhere of people from China coming in 440 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: on the southern border and the northern border. Anyway, the 441 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: US is secured a deal with Canada to return illegal 442 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: migrants crossing the northern border. All right, so I guess 443 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: we have some hope there. The economy, I don't have 444 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: much good news for you, but it is what it is. Oh, 445 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: one of the funnier things this week is Political reported 446 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: that's Kristen Cinema, the Senator from Arizona, gave the middle 447 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: finger to Joe Biden's White House. She also trashed Senate Democrats. 448 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: She's an independent now. As a bunch of old dudes 449 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: sitting around eating jello, that's pretty funny anyway. Senator Cinema 450 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: as recently used a series of Republican dominated receptions and 451 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 1: retreats this year to belittle her Democratic colleagues and shower 452 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: her GOOP allies with praise, and in one case, quite 453 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: literally give the middle finger to President Joe Biden. Ouch. 454 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: I wonder if that means she's going to become a 455 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: Republican because they still have a problem because Federman what, 456 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: He's been in this hospital suffering from depression for what 457 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: five six weeks now. I'll be honest with you, we 458 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: need to do away with a two party system. I 459 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: know you hate it when I say that, but I 460 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: believe in him. I don't. No, you're wrong, I'm not. 461 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: I think it's a themas thing. I mean, there's a 462 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: there's a couple of people in the GOP that actually 463 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: have a clue, but for the most part, I'm angry 464 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: all the time at all these guys on the Hill, 465 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: and there isn't a single one of them, whether it's Democratic, Republican, 466 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: with the exception of the ones we have on this 467 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: show that have a clue, or recently we only have 468 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: a small number of people in the show because only 469 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: small mock. A lot of them suck. But by the way, 470 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: don't put don't put me in this category because I'm 471 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: a registered conservative. Yeah, but we need to do away 472 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: with it. The Democratic Party is not the Democratic Party 473 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: of hold. They are now a radical socialist climate alarmist 474 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: cult party and the Republican Party to their credit so 475 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: far on the issues of keeping their promises, especially with investigation. 476 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: They're investigating Afghanistan, the origins of COVID, They're investigating if 477 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: the FBI is politicized and the DOJ weaponized. Uh, They're 478 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: investigating the Biden family syndicate. They're investigating a lot. They're 479 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: doing their job. Yeah, but I'm gonna gently push back. 480 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: That's not the Republican Party. That's like five guys those 481 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: but those are the promises that McCarthy made that would happen. 482 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: They're following through on the promises as a party. But 483 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: you're right, it's only about five people. A Comer and 484 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,239 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan without There are some good people there. But 485 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: I don't even know the names of eighty percent of 486 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: the Republicans in the House. I have no idea. We 487 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 1: don't think a second. They're not working, they're not doing anything. 488 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: They're they're signing legislation. I mean, think about Rick Scott yesterday. 489 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: They got that bill at the middle of the night. 490 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: They signed it a day and a half later, seventy 491 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: five hundred different marks. I mean, it's insane. This is 492 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: all bs. There's the big test of the Republican Party 493 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: in the House. I think it's going to come over 494 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: the debt ceiling because they and what's making me a 495 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: little nervous now is it's taking them too long to 496 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: come to an agreement and come to a deal. And 497 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: I think they need to come to a deal sooner 498 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: than later. And what they need is fiscal responsibility. They 499 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: need to fight for secure boarders, they need to fight 500 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: for energy independence. And then if all two hundred and 501 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: twenty two stood firm together and said we're not going 502 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: to raise the debt ceiling unless you give us a 503 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: B C and d and they don't move, and then 504 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 1: all the hysteria, the full faith and trust of the 505 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: federal government and the United States is hanging in the balance, 506 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: and they sit there. Then the Democrats, at some point 507 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to blink. Because Democrats, probably rightly so, 508 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: have already concluded something. They have concluded that Republicans are 509 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: not going to unite, that they will divide among themselves, 510 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: and if they're not a united front, then that means 511 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: the death ceiling will get raised and Republicans will get 512 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: nothing for it. That's their big test. East to my view, 513 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: can I give you one thing before we go to 514 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: break break? I think that we should, oh, listen, forget 515 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: about it. I'd light it up. I'd be on that 516 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: floor every day. But I think we should have on 517 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: sea span a camera on the floor every single representative 518 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: in that Congress sitting there reading every bill before they 519 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: sign their name or say they're going to pass it, 520 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: and we have them on camera reading and if you 521 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: don't show up to read it, just like you were 522 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: in school, you don't get to vote. Unreal. Hey, listen, 523 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: the IRS has one job, you know what to get 524 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: your money. Now.

Now, 526 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: let me just tell you something that you need to know, 527 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: and that is you can't hide from these guys.

You know, 566 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: the left will say Hannity's telling poor people to go 567 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: to work more.
