Speaker 2: you know what that means. It means we've got savage.

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: Rich Barris on deck here in a little bit. He's

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: the director of Big Data Poll, the number one most

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: accurate polster in the twenty twenty four cycle, and the

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: host of a great show on Rumble called Inside the Numbers.

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: So Rich Barris is on deck. You know, got lots

Speaker 2: to talk about, folks. Make sure you smash that like button,

Speaker 2: we make the leaderboard pretty much every day now. So

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: thank you for that, folks. You know that I've known

20
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth for a very long time. When he was

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: nominated for Secretary of Defense, I was excited for him because,

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: like I said, he is legitimately a friend of mine.

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 2: I knew Pete Hegseth long before he was Fox News

24
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: contributor Pete hag Seth. I knew him long before he

25
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: was you know, Fox and Friends Weekend host Pete Hegseth.

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: I know his wife, I've met his family, I know

27
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: his parents. For God's sake, We're like like, like, that's

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: what I mean by no, He's just a friend of mine.

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: And when he got the nod for Secretary of Defense,

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: I was very excited for him because I thought, boy,

31
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: this is what this guy, my friend end has always wanted.

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: You know, I know I've known for a long time

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: in his heart of hearts, this is what Pete has

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: always wanted to do. He has a heart for serving.

35
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: He loves this country without question. He's unafraid to defend it.

36
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: In fact, he has defended it on the battlefield in Iraq,

37
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: in Afghanistan, and then in Guantanamo Bay ironically enough, looking

38
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: after the people who tried to kill him on the battlefield.

39
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: He's put his life on the line for this country.

40
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: And so I was legitimately excited for him. And then

41
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: I saw the hit pieces start to roll out, and

42
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: I thought, well, damn, this reminds me of something.

43
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: Oh wait, what was that?

44
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: The exact same playbook they used against me when I

45
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: ran for Senate. When I ran for Senate. I think

46
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: you all know the story, but just in case you don't,

47
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: I mean, they just to give you a sense of

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: what they did. They leaked my VA medical record someone

49
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: at the vay. The media started to build this narrative

50
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: that I was an angry, you know, alcohol abusing veteran

51
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: that was a day away from climbing a bell tower

52
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: with a sniper riffle. This this is the playbook, just

53
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: so you know, that they used with every combat veteran

54
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: who served in support of these most recent wars who

55
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: also happened to be an outsider, who also happened to

56
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: be lockstock and barrel America first Trump candidates. And when

57
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: that happens, the media and many people in Washington, lobbyists,

58
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: defense contractors, members of the Uniparty.

59
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: By the way, on both sides.

60
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: Of the of the aisle, that group of people.

61
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: They loathe outsiders, They loathe Trump people. They loathe reformers, disruptors,

62
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: because that means when you say disruptor, it means disrupting

63
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: the status quo, and to disrupt the status quo in

64
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: Washington in many cases means to disrupt somebody's bottom line.

65
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: And I can assure you many of the attacks that

66
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: we are seeing on Pete Hegseth right now. In fact,

67
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: listen as somebody who has a little bit of insider

68
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: knowledge on this one hundred percent. Like there was this

69
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: whistle blower report, let me tell you right here first

70
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: that it's not even a whistleblower report. Okay, it's a

71
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: word document with a couple of poorly written emails. The

72
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: media is reporting this as a whistleblower report from Concerned

73
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: Veterans for America. That's the organization that Pete and I

74
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: worked at at the same time about ten years ago.

75
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: It's not a whistle report. It's just a word document

76
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: and a couple of emails, I swear to God, But

77
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: that the media is there's a difference between a whistleblower

78
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: report and that. But these are very old allegations that

79
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: were long dealt with water under the bridge, and the

80
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: media what they're doing is this again the same thing

81
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: that what they did to me. They regurgitate all of

82
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: these old allegations as if they're new, as if their

83
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: news worthy, and trot them out as if it's breaking

84
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: news or something. And this is not coming from the

85
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: people who are even involved in the organization. I cannot

86
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: stress that enough. When I say organization, I mean Concern

87
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: Veterans for America one hundred percent. This report is being

88
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: leaked to the media. I don't know who, but it's

89
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: an inside the beltwagh type. It's a lobbyist, it's a

90
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: defense contractor, it's somebody that does not want Pete sat

91
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: at the Department of Defense. And what they're doing is

92
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: slow dripping these hit pieces and to to give you

93
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: a sense of what this playbook is as somebody who

94
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: has lived this, it's often not politicians who launch these

95
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: hit campaigns. Don't get me wrong. Politicians will weigh in

96
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: after the fact it's, oh my gosh, this is just terrible.

97
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: But these are political operators who run these hit campaigns.

98
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: And what they do is they make the allegations so terrible,

99
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: so unpalatable, so horrifying. Oftentimes you hear it's some sort

100
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: of abuse or worse yet, child abuse. And the reason

101
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: why they pick those things specifically, and it's Interestingly enough,

102
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: this is the same reason why you see so many

103
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: Trump candidates accused of this is because it's the same

104
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: damn playbook. The reason why they pick those types of

105
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: allegations is because they know that the American people abhor

106
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: that stuff, which is a good thing. Of course, it's

107
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: a good thing that Americans don't support child abuse and

108
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: abuse and think like that. It's a good thing that

109
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: our culture is against all of that. Abuse is evil, period,

110
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: full stop. So if these allegations leak in the media,

111
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: most people were like, oh, my gosh, I don't like that.

112
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: I can't defend that or be seen defending that. If

113
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: you're a non politician, there's some social price to pay

114
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: for defending someone accused of something like that, never mind

115
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: the fact that the accusations are completely false. But if

116
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: you're a politician, you think, well, I can't defend that.

117
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: There's a political cost. I mean, my god, my voters

118
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: won't support that. But again, the allegations are baseless and false. Right,

119
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: So the whole point of these allegations is to have

120
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: a chilling effect on not just political potential political supporters,

121
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: but also your closest friends and advisors. That is the

122
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: point and sometimes even your family members. That is the

123
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: entire point of allegations like this. So if we know

124
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: we've seen this playbook play out time and again, and

125
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: if we know this is what they do, this is

126
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: what they do to people that represent a threat to

127
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: the system, and we recognize that, hey, they're leveraging or

128
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: they're leveling these horrifying allegations to chill levels of support

129
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: with political allies, then the remedy to that is for

130
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: us to speak out aggressively against the hit And it's

131
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: something that both our politicians and our society are gonna

132
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: have to get used to.

133
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 3: So I say all that to say, as.

134
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: Someone who's lived through this hell myself, that when I

135
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 2: saw this happening to Pete, a man that I know

136
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: that I know all of these allegations against him are

137
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: bullshit because I know him, I didn't waste a second

138
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: and speaking up. And when the New Yorker came out

139
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: with this ridiculous hit piece on Pete, I lived through

140
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: those things with Pete. I was a part of the

141
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: organization of a Concerned Veterans for America during the same

142
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: time that all of those alleged incidents happened. Oh Pete

143
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 2: was drunken at a strip club. He's drunken, he hits

144
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: on women, and none of that's true, Like.

145
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: It's all made up bullshit.

146
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: What was also a part of that article was the

147
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: idea that Pete financially mismanaged Concerned Veterans for America.

148
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: So badly that he was fired, he was pushed.

149
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Out of the organization. That is also complete and total bullshit.

150
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: So I went out there on the record yesterday. You

151
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 2: might have seen Charlie Kirk tweet about that. I was

152
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 2: on Charlie Kirk Show today, on Dan Bongino Show today

153
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: also just talking about this. But I said, that is

154
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,359
Speaker 2: complete bullshit. He was not pushed out of the organization

155
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: because of financial mismanagement. That is a complete and total lie.

156
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: I know because I left the organization for the same reason.

157
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: I was on the call when all of this was decided.

158
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: I was a part of all of this. Pete left

159
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: the organization, and then I left the organization shortly after him,

160
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 2: because we had become big believers in twenty fifteen and

161
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen in President Trump's vision newly elected President Trump's

162
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: vision on national security and foreign policy issues, the organization

163
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: that we worked for at the time did not believe

164
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 2: in Trump's vision of foreign policy. So all of a

165
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: sudden you had two top people at the organization who

166
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: didn't see odd eye with what the organization was intended

167
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: to be. So it was just simple policy difference differences

168
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: and everybody left amicably.

169
00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: That was it.

170
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: And so I spoke out about that and got attacked

171
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: for it on the record yesterday.

172
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: But I want to show you this.

173
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: This is a letter from Concerned Veterans for America one

174
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: of their trustees, Randy Layer.

175
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: I want to highlight or just read a portion of.

176
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: This to you. It says this. The truth is.

177
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: Pete resigned his position as CEO of Concerned Veterans for

178
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: America as a result of a difference of opinion as

179
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: to the future of the organization. As I mentioned to you,

180
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: policy and what we would advocate for, and so that

181
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: he could focus on other endeavors, including his relationship with

182
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: Fox News. Pete was not terminated by the organization, and

183
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: in fact, we had CBA worked with him through this

184
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: difficult decision and mutually agreed to the at the end

185
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: of twenty fifteen. It was the best timing for both parties.

186
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: So what I said was true. I just need to

187
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: make this clear. What I said was true, despite being

188
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: relentlessly attacked. I've had hit pieces written on me over

189
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: the past couple of days because of this, And guess what,

190
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: I don't give a shit. You see this right here,

191
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: I don't care. Okay, you've thrown your worst at me,

192
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: and here I am. But I'm not gonna let them

193
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 2: do this to one of my friends. And so now

194
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: now what I'm doing is trying to rally other veterans

195
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: to the cause. If you go to my x speed,

196
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: you'll see veterans posting direct to camera videos.

197
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: Of why Pete's the guy. Pete is the guy for.

198
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: The war fighters, not for the warmongers. It's the warmongers

199
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: that are going after him. It's the warmongers that are

200
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: trying to destroy his character. And so this headline yesterday

201
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: was kind of a tumultuous day for Pete. I know

202
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: I'm kind of getting in the weeds on this, but

203
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: you all have to know the truth about this. You

204
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: just do because it's easy to fall prey to some

205
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: of these false narratives in the media. And I've got

206
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: Savage Rich Barris on dec and i want him to

207
00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: wait much longer.

208
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: But I just want to.

209
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: Say, hey, yesterday there was this leak that Ron DeSantis

210
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: was gonna be you know, Trump was gonna pull Pete

211
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: and replaced with Ron de Santis. Let me tell you

212
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: that's complete bullshit. Like I said, Ron de Santis, I

213
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: think he's the best governor in the country. This is

214
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: not a commentary on him. But I'm telling you that

215
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Wall Street Journal piece last night bullshit. Okay, I can

216
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: tell you that Ron de Santos was always considered for

217
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: the Secretary of Defense role, going as far back to June,

218
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: but Pete got the nod.

219
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: Okay, it's complete bullshit.

220
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: Trump is standing with Pete and that was made clear

221
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: today by both Pete and President Trump. And so today

222
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 2: you see this headline from the New York Post. Zero

223
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: Senate go Piers opposed Pete HeiG Seth for Defense pick

224
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: as he vows to never back down amid misconduct claims

225
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: like misconduct claims. I don't even like that in the

226
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: headline because there's no misconduct. So the article says zero

227
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: Senate Republicans are opposing Pete Haig says confirmation. Sources told

228
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: the Post on Wednesday as the Defense Secretary designee was

229
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: making the rounds on Capitol Hill and defiantly proclaiming he

230
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: will never back down in the face of widespread allegations

231
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: of past misconduct. And by the way, there's not one

232
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: single allegation against Pete that is on the record. It's

233
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: all anonymous bullshit, not one single on the record comment

234
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: from anybody making these allegations, all anonymous, And so.

235
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: The article goes on, there are zero knows right now.

236
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: One GOP source familiar with the matter said, ripping smears

237
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: against the former Army Infantry combat veteran in the press

238
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 2: as bs. At least six Republicans have privately expressed reservations

239
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 2: about President Donald Trump's nominee. NBC News reported bullshit Tuesday,

240
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: as claims of binge drinking, sexual impropriety, and financial mismanagement

241
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: during his tenure as leader of the veteran's advocacy group

242
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: pile up. For every anonymous source making an unfounded claim

243
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: about hag Seth, there are twice as many colleagues and

244
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: former colleagues who are putting their names publicly on record

245
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 2: to refute the defamatory, meritless slander. Another Senate Republican aide

246
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: told the post folks, I'm telling you, come hell or

247
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: high water, I'm going to defend my friend publicly because

248
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: this is a complete hit job meant to destroy his life,

249
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: destroy his family, destroy his character. Oh I know somebody

250
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: that went through the exact same thing. And no, I'm

251
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: not talking about me. I'm talking about President Trump. They

252
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: try to do the same thing to him. Pete's not

253
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: backing down. Neither is President Trump. Okay, I got savage

254

276
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: Good sir, welcome, How you doing, my friend, Thanks for

277
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,479
Speaker 1: having me. As always a lot going on. Actually as

278
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: you've been talking, there's been a lot actually, like the

279
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: last hour, Well, what the hell's going on? What did

280
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: I miss after I've been live? Well, President Trump did

281
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: tweet Pete Hegsett's op ed in the Wall Street Journal.

282
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: I won't back down, which is a good sign. There

283
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: was just so people have to understand in the workings

284
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: of this stuff. And there were some meetings with some

285
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: senators that were canceled, and then that's you know, for

286
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: a meeting with the president. Again, it's like whether or

287
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: not the president was going to stand behind this nomination,

288
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: and that's a sign that he is in fact standing

289
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: behind this nomination.

290
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we turned the corner today.

291
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean yesterday after the show, it was a real

292
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: crazy I mean, it was clearly planned what they were doing.

293
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: And then this Wall Street Journal piece comes out that

294
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 2: night like, oh Ron Trump consideringvoting Rond.

295
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 3: There's no truth to any of that, and even.

296
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: If there was, let me just say, if there was,

297
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: it would be a massive mistake. You mean, more a

298
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: miss mistake. Ron DeSantis, I know you said he's the

299
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: greatest governor in the country. Ron de Santis was like

300
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: bread for that job. You know, like look at his

301
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: look at his upbringing, with his education, look at his

302
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: what you know, it's military service, it should and can't

303
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: take it away from But it's like that's the kind

304
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: of breeding, and that's the kind of pedigree for a

305
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: guy who goes to the behemit that is, the Pentagon

306
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: and does absolutely nothing and they win and they move

307
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: forward and nothing ever changes. So not saying that to

308
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: down him, I'm just saying this is ultimately what Pete

309
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: hegg saths nomination is all about you know, the country

310
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: voted for change. You look at the polls, they're standing

311
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: behind Pete Hagseth. The American public are standing behind Pete

312
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: haig Seth. So eventually this really just comes at the

313
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: core of this all. It comes down to this. It

314
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: comes down to whether or not Republicans at some point

315
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: they're going to have to fight. And this is all

316
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: going to happen to anybody. All Right, It'll happen to you,

317
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: It'll happen to me, It'll happen to Pete, it would

318
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: happen to Mother Teresa, it would happen to Jesus Christ

319
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: if they were a reformer and they wanted to go

320
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: into the heart of the deep state as a reformer

321
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: and hold someone accountable and change the way things are done,

322
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: because ultimately, seean something's got to give, something has to change.

323
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: And if Republicans want to hold these voters that just

324
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump and gave them a slim majority

325
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: in the House, not huge, and gave them a lighter

326
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: than expected or should be majority in the US Senate,

327
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: this is a great opportunity to show the American public

328
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: that they get it. Because the publics behind them, and

329
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: the only thing they have to fight at this point

330
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: is a bunch of cowardly and corrupt senators who have

331
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: ours after their last name, who the Pentagon, the FBI,

332
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: and the CIA have by the balls, Because that's what

333
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: this really is all about. Let's get real. They pull

334
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: the strings on the They pulled the short and curly

335
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: when it's time to pull the short and curly, and

336
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: that's how they survive. And it's like, are we just

337
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: gonna continue like this forever or not? If Tom Tillis

338
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: doesn't have the spine, are we gonna continue like this

339
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: or not?

340
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 2: Tom came out and said Tom Tillis came out and said,

341
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: if he gets out of committee, he's voting for him.

342
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: That's because he has because he's felt the lean and

343
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: the same thing goes for everybody else. So right, you

344
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: think that pull from showing Laura Trump would actually absolutely

345
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: stomp him into the ground in a primary. If he

346
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: dared to vote against this guy, he may not survive anyway.

347
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: He better be on his best behavior, put his little

348
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: ballet shoes on and go do a little tight walk, bro,

349
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: because that's what it comes down to at this point.

350
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: Did you want a fight, or did you not? It

351
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: will happen to anyone. Look what they did to Jeff Sessions,

352
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: him man who served with them side by side for years,

353
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: all right years. They started floating rumors about him liking

354
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: little girls, little Korean girls because he had an adopted

355
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: daughter who isn't of his race. It's disgusting.

356
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 3: This is who they are.

357
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: And the media is like the public's greatest enemy. I mean,

358
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: they really are. They're the public screts. So are you

359
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna fold on this nomination? And because the media did

360
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: what they always do and they're like a first line

361
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: of defense for the deep state, are you gonna fold

362
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: on this nomination because of the same old stuff? Or

363
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: did you really elect this man to change things? Because

364
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: if you really elected this man to change things, put

365
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,719
Speaker 1: your head down and move forward. And that's it. They

366
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: would never give this nomination up, Sean, They would never

367
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: give this nomination up. They put a woman on the

368
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: Supreme Court who refused to identify the difference between a

369
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: man and a woman. I don't give a damn if

370
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: he runs off and sleeps with this one sleeps, so

371
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: I don't care. All I care about is whether or

372
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: not he sends our children to go die in pointless

373
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: wars for lies, for lies charges me and my family

374
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars for a hammer.

375
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: That's all I care about.

376
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm tired of the same crap, the same old stuff.

377
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: And if you want change, you got to move forward

378
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: with it. All right, Enough with the weakened knees and

379
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: the cowardly senator.

380
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 2: No, here's the here's the thing that's like when you

381
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 2: think about what the allegations are, right, they have thrown

382
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: everything at him. I mean, think about it. They came

383
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 2: up with some you know, bogus sexual assault allegation. They

384
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: like that there were no charges brought, okay, like none,

385
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 2: and then they, I mean in some articles they accused

386
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 2: him of rape, absolutely horrifying. Then yeah, exactly, and then

387
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: they somehow get an email from his mom, which you know,

388
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 2: I I have theories about how that went out there,

389
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: but I won't say here, but yeah, and they put

390
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: his mom in the middle of it, which is just horrifying.

391
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: She doesn't that I know.

392
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: To go and sit on the Kirby couch at five

393
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: times and inter working as a family business. Disgusting, And

394
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: they threatened her. They do what they do every time

395
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: in their stupid little angry emails. You know, it's like

396
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: answer and answer, you know, correct, answer correctly the way

397
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: I want you to answer and answer by a certain time,

398
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: or else I'm going to go after you. Like, who

399
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: the hell do these people think they are?

400
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: I completely agree, Like they threatened her, absolutely, and then

401
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 2: they and then it comes out, Oh so it's not

402
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: that they went after his name. They went after his

403
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 2: personal life. They made horrible, horrifying accusation against it. Now

404
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: they're going after his leadership. Who does that sound like

405
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: they did the exact same thing the press.

406
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: It's the same playbook. They did it to you too.

407
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: Get real, Come on, I mean, let's get real. This

408
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: is at some point the American public. We had an

409
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: election and they said enough of these people. I can't say,

410
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: you know, can we the media? As much as you

411
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: hate them, folks, you really can't hate them enough. It's

412
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: not about whether or not you personally disagree with them

413
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: on this issue. That issue, because of course we all know,

414
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: the media is largely a vehicle for the deep State's party,

415
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: which is the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, really both parties are

416
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: served as some form of vehicle for the deep state

417
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: and the administrative state in general. But it's not even

418
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: a matter of that. They're just not good people, you know,

419
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: like most of them are. The vast majority of them

420
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: are not good. They're horrible, horrible people. So like if

421
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: they're running a smear or a hit on somebody, to me,

422
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: it's like, at this point in my life, don't even care.

423
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't even care, because if you're on the bad

424
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: side of pieces of crap like that, then you're probably

425
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: on my side, you know, So I like in, I

426
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: immediately and instinctly knee jerk that, and I gotta get like,

427
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta take a step back and always

428
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: look and see whether or not they're saying as any validity.

429
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: But this entire case against Pete hegseth Oh, the multiple

430
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: reports now, like you said, are being slow dripped. They're

431
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: all anonymously sourced to Sean, none of this is backed

432
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: by a face, a person that they could even get

433
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: to come forward. And that started, by the way, the

434
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: same way with Cavanaugh, and then they did get some

435
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: and then they try to.

436
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: They're looking for somebody, now, guaran damn to you this

437
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: the drift drift drip, right, they'll put a.

438
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: Bag in somebody's hand. They'll put a bag in something, somebody's,

439
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: somebody's I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. Frankly, I think

440
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: that why is because things are different now Sean people

441
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: really just don't care. Look at the polls. They want

442
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth to be confirmed. Like this is not People

443
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: are excited about this administration. It's overwhelmingly positive the people.

444
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: By the way, economic confidence, how do you feel about

445
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: the future, all of this is skyrocketing. Now, you think

446
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: that's because they don't trust the American public doesn't trust

447
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to put people in charge this time that

448
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: he thinks is going to do a better job and

449
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: get the job. Of course they do. That's why they

450
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: elected him. Like all of this is the old, same

451
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: old playbook, over and over. And I'm sorry, and I

452
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: don't mean to be that hard on them, because some

453
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: of them are good people just trying to make a

454
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: good decision. But the fact of the matter is their

455
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: only real obstacle here are a bunch of cowardly and

456
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: corrupt senators that really shouldn't even be in the US

457
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: Senate anymore. No, you're not wrong about.

458
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: You're not wrong about like, the only thing you are

459
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: not wrong about this, The only thing standing in the way,

460
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: standing in the way seriously of Trump's nominations are Republicans.

461
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: That's it.

462
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: And and how many Biden confirmations got nominations got shot down, Yeah,

463
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: I think like no major ones, but only one small one,

464
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 2: but no one major. He got his entire cabinet, and

465
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: those people have done far more damage to this country

466
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: than any of the Trump nominees will do.

467
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: It's not even close.

468
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: And to your point about like some of the insider

469
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 2: baseball here, Rich, you know, I can tell you that

470
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: Jony Earnst right now, I look, I like, I like her,

471
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: So this does I'm not I'm not making this isn't

472
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 2: like a personal attack, but I would tell you that

473
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: she wanted the job of Secretary of Defense and she

474
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 2: hid it.

475
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: And now I.

476
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: Like that right there, and then like I get it,

477
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 2: like if that's something that she was gunning for, I'm listen,

478
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: like I'm this is I'm not like, this is just

479
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 2: human nature. It's just something that she really wanted and

480
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: she didn't get it. Okay, I can understand why why

481
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: you'd be upset, but you know, your job is advise

482
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: advise and consent. It doesn't say obstruct.

483
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, That's what I was, Susan saying.

484
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: I was gonna bring Joni up. And the fact of

485
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: the matter is, you know, Joni asked yourself like, I mean,

486
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: are you h are you able to rise to the

487
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: challenge that we have in our time? Like? Are you

488
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: the wrong person for that job? Because if you're gonna

489
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: put your own personal ambition and your own personal whatever

490
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: it may, I know, I don't want it's not arrogance,

491
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: but you know your feelings got hurt. You feel in

492
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: the Senate. We need her in the Senate. But if

493
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna do that, should she be or should somebody

494
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: else step up, like maybe the current state attorney general,

495
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: who would be doing a much better job and serving

496
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: the state of Iowa in a capacity that most more

497
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: reflects their values and their desires and their wishes.

498
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: Because if this.

499
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: Is not if this is a question for Joni, and

500
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: it's not based on his qualifications, folks, it's not based

501
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: on whether or not he's he's done anything that's disqualified

502
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: for this job. That's a personal beef. You know, let's

503
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: get over it. If that's it we just can't afford

504
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: to have people who are so small they put their

505
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: own personal shit before the good of the country. They

506
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: confirmed and nominated a man for this very post, this

507
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: very post, who has on multiple occasions throughout his career,

508
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: stated that he did not believe in civilian control of

509
00:28:53,400 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: the US military. That is completely disqualified, completely disqual rock

510
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: principle of our country. Our founders literally went nuts over

511
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: the Quartering Act. I mean, god, man, read a book.

512
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 3: You're a US.

513
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: Senator and you don't even understand the basics to this

514
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: country and what makes it work and why we're in

515
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: so much trouble. Austin doesn't believe in civilian control of

516
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: the military. That should have been the end of his

517
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: nomination right there. None of this matters, None of it,

518
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: All the stuff we're hanging about with Pete Hacks, none

519
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: of it matters, Sean, None of it does. And the

520
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is, again, let's get down to

521
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: the crux of this. Are they going to do what

522
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: they were elected to do or are they gonna blow

523
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: it like they always do and end up with a

524
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: coalition worse than the Ross Perrot coalition, Because that's their future.

525
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: If they don't get their heads out of their butts

526
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: right now, Come on, Democrats, get everybody. There could be

527
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: somebody who's got some radical history working with the Black Panthers.

528
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: They're in some radical history, working with a violent, militant left,

529
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: left wing Marxist group when they were on a college

530
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: campuses in the nineteen sixties and seventies. They're in Give

531
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: me a break, Give me a break. None of them.

532
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: They are full of crap, most of them. Half of

533
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: their left ass cheek is owned by the military industrial complex.

534
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: And that's what this comes down to. It's not about principle,

535
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: it's not about leaks. It's not they're giving them these

536
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: leaks and these stories, folks. I just want everyone to

537
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: understand how this works. They're giving them cover. They're trying

538
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: to give their bought and paid for crooked ass senators cover.

539
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: That's what these stories are. They don't really object to

540
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: them based on these stories. They don't really have concerns

541
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: based on these stories. They need an excuse to live,

542
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: to vote the way their benefactors pay them to vote.

543
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: So when the phone call comes and it says, Lisa,

544
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: vote this way, remember I own your ass. Let me

545
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: eat a story to the Wall Street Journal. Let me

546
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: leak a story to CNN. She goes, oh, that's very helpful,

547
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, goodbye. That's how this goes.

548
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 3: Well. I gotta take your fake.

549
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: Principles and stick them, you know where, Lisa.

550
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: We got to have their votes. We got it.

551
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: We need their votes, so you know, we don't you know,

552
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: I think nomination.

553
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: But I know what you're saying.

554
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like like Joni Ernst is on you know,

555
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: the Armed Services Committee. We've got to get Pete out

556
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: of committee, which requires her vote, and we need her

557
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: on board. But to your point, the bottom line is

558
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 2: that the American people voted for this.

559
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't and I don't think it's Trump. How many

560
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: points did Trump went Iowa? Buy exactly? And I don't

561
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: think not by the way her polster suggested, you know,

562
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean Harris was up in the staple pole of

563
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: her state. Look, I don't think it's I don't think

564
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: it's counterproductive to remind her maybe she shouldn't be on

565
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: that committee. If this is such a question, maybe she

566
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't be. Look at your state. You think that's because

567
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: of you? You think that's because of your vision of

568
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: foreign policy. You think that's because of the Republican brand

569
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: as it stands without Donald Trump. You're out of your

570
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: friggin mind. You barely won in twenty fourteen. You did

571
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: in a low turnout election. It was last minute movement

572
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: to you because the Democrat was an unacceptable gun controller.

573
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: And you owe your voters to representation. You owe your

574
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: voters representation.

575
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: And not just that.

576
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: Like listen, ray as Rich and CVA. When we were

577
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: at CVA. This is back in twenty fourteen, which I

578
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: think was Jonie's first for a running statewide. Maybe it's

579
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 2: run and run for Senate, and Concerned Veterans for America

580
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: backed her and ran television ads supporting her.

581
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: Pete was the decision maker all of that.

582
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 2: I remember that he supported her one hundred percent back then,

583
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. And yeah, isn't that That's why people say,

584
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: like friended Washington. Yeah, yeah, if you want a freend

585
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: in Washington, get a dog. Let me show you this

586
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 2: this SoundBite, because let me show you the sound bite

587
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: of Pete. And like the narrative that the media is

588
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: trying to set because yesterday was yesterday, I mean this

589
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: all this is always a roller coaster right, it's an

590
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: ebb and a flow in the media. You have great days,

591
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: you have bad days. When you have bad days, people

592
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: smell blood in the water. And then you have all

593
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: these stories come out, like what about Ron DeSantis. I mean,

594
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 2: it's just it's just the same playbook over and over

595
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: and over again. Well, today was a great day for Pete.

596
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 2: He they they the Trump transition team lifted the moratorium

597
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: on media and he's out there doing stand up interviews.

598
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 2: He sat down with Megan Kelly. He walked into this

599
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: fantastic that Yeah, he was. I mean, that's the thing

600
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: with Pete. He's very good. He just just talk talk

601
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: about it. He's the truth is on our side, here

602
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: is on his side. Listen to him talking about this.

603
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: Are you gonna step down? Are you gonna step down?

604
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: Like? Why the hell are you even asking that question?

605
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 3: But listen to this.

606
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: Have you had any conversations with the president? Left down?

607
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: Look like you We've gotten our dis answers.

608
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: I spoke to his Brotherdent like this morning.

609
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: He said, keep going, keep fighting, find your way here

610
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: in this all the way.

611
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:26,520

00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: that you are changed. So you see what I'm talking

619
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: about though, I mean, like you're talking about with the media,

620
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: do you see it?

621
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 3: What do you? What are you? What are you referring to?

622
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: Just piece of garbage?

623
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 3: Well, just the question are you?

624
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: What do you mean?

625
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 3: You're in this to the end.

626
00:34:59,200 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I be in.

627
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 3: This to the end?

628
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: What kind of line of questioning is that? Would you

629
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: ever see her do that to to Austin? Would you

630
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: see her do it to Merrick Garland? Would you see

631
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: her do it to Susan Rice? No? I mean I

632
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: could just rattle this off forever. Everck Holder, who once

633
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: completely trashed the nation. I mean, we had public statements

634
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: from that guy before his nomination. They were absolutely absurd.

635
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: They made him seem like he was militantly anti American,

636
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: and he slid right through. I mean, come on, this

637
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: is again a big deal. It is a big deal

638
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: for everyone's like, oh, well, you know, we don't get

639
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: this one. If you don't get this one, then you're

640
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: a man. You're just going to do this to everybody.

641
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: Oh you're listen. You just brought up something that I'm

642
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 2: glad you reminded me of. They already got gates if

643
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 2: they get Pete. This is the hill.

644
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: This I'm not aptismatically dismantling your cabinet. I'm not exactly.

645
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna say this is a hill to

646
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 2: we've got to die on, because we're not gonna die.

647
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:56,479
Speaker 3: We're gonna win the damn fight.

648
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 2: Like this is the line because if if the deep

649
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: state is able to tank Pete, then guess what they're

650
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 2: going to Cash and then guess what they're going to RFK,

651
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 2: and then guess what they will dismantle the Trump administration

652
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 2: before he even gets in office.

653
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: So Pete has gotta be the line in the sand forest.

654
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, And look the difference with Pete

655
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: and Matt and by the way, and that's the case,

656
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Pete and Cash are both in the same boat here.

657
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: They're qualified to do this job. That's really what it

658
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: comes down to. They're qualified to do this job, and

659
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: outside or barring something that is without question. And all

660
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: of this stuff is of course with question because it's

661
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: anonymously sourced. It's nonsense. You have the guy's mother on

662
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: television today. I mean, this is ridiculous. Nobody should have

663
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: to go through this, folks. This is ridiculous, all right,

664
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:59,839
Speaker 1: barring anything that's without dispute, disqualifying, or something on their

665
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: resume that puts in question whether or not they're qualified

666
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: to do the job. Let's say, for instance, like Pete

667
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: but Ed Jedge, all right, who you know, was the

668
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: mayor of a small city of which he did a

669
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: honorable job.

670
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 3: He bankrupted the whole city.

671
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: Bro There were miles and miles and miles of cargo

672
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: ships off both of our main ports at one point.

673
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: And yet you know, you ever see Lindsey Graham come out,

674
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 1: or you ever see Tom Tillis come out, or Johnny

675
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: RC come out, or Lisa mckowski or Susan Collins, and like, oh,

676
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't have cast that vote, you know. I mean,

677
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 1: this is a sucharade, and I want people to treat

678
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,439
Speaker 1: it as such. This is an attempt to take away

679
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: the government that you elected. And the president has always

680
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: been long standing, folks, entitled to the government that he

681
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: wants because he is your representative. You don't get to

682
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: vote for any of these positions. You vote for the House,

683
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: you vote for the Senate, you vote for local leaders,

684
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 1: state and local leaders. You don't get to vote for

685
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: the executive branch outside of the people's sovereign projection, which

686
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: is the president. And that is really when they're questioning

687
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: Trump's When they're questioning him being deserved to being allowed

688
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: to have the cabinet that he desires, they're questioning your judgment,

689
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: that's what they're doing. And they're not just going after

690
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: Trump's government. They're questioning and trying to take away your government.

691
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 1: He is your elected representative sovereign. He's an extension of

692
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: voter sovereignty, and them denying him the government that he wants,

693
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: like they did in sixteen seventeen. By the way, we're

694
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: going down the same road here in case nobody has noticed.

695
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: They're running the same playbook. If you get away with

696
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: it again, then they are once again denying you your

697
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: sovereign right to have the government the executive branch that

698
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: you want. And that's ultimately the problem in this country.

699
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: An executive branch has grown in this bloated behemoth. It's

700
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: not at all represent or accountable to this sovereign. The

701
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: sovereign in this country is you, folks. You're the sovereign.

702
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: And if you let them steamroll the executive that you nominated,

703
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: this steamrolling you. God, man, you're exactly right. You can

704
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: stay right there.

705
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you more about this on

706
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: the other side and kind of take a quick break.

707
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: And God, you're exactly right. That was a great way

708
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 2: to say that. Can you stay right there?

709
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely?

710
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 2: Absolutely all right back with Savage Rich Barrison a second man.

711
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: That was a great way to explain it. He's exactly right.

712
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 2: Make sure you smash that like button, that little green

713
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 2: thumb beneath the video while we do some of these

714
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: ad sponsorship reads. Americans are tired and frustrated by a

715
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 2: stalling economy, inflation, endless wars, and the relentless assault on

716
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,760
Speaker 2: our values. Thankfully, there's companies like Patriot Mobile that still

717
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: believe in America and our constitution. I am proud to

718
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 2: partner with Patriot Mobile because they are on the front

Speaker 2: and Cindy sent me a BT like gif Fontes thank

741
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 2: you for the rumble rant tip Winnie's World, Thank you,

742
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 2: No bones as always, thank you going after Joni Orst

743
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 2: a little bit there, Jen, She says Pete was awesome

744
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 2: on Megan Kelly share this interview.

745
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 3: I completely agree.

746
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: The more that Pete can get in front of the

747
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: media and just smack down these ridiculous false allegations, he

748
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 2: should do it and then no bones again, thank you,

749
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: says a ballish to seventeenth amendment that would cure all.

750
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: Amen. Amen, let me can I stop you there real quick?

751
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 2: And Demanda Demanda said the savagery a savage Rich Barris,

752
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 2: great show. Now go ahead, seventeenth Amendment.

753
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: I just want to step in because that commenter is

754
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: understanding exactly what I'm talking about. One of the main

755
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: problems we have in this country right now is that

756
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 1: we have gotten off on the track with something that

757
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: was very fundamental when our founders set up this entire system,

758
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: which is who we vest power in and how it's distributed.

759
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: The problem we have right now is that, yes, you know,

760
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 1: we are supposed to elect our House of Representatives. We

761
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: changed presidency. Of course, we changed the Senate too, and

762
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: they are the consent body. They're supposed to be the

763
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: most deliberative body. But the truth is they have nothing

764
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 1: to deliberate upon except for the the will of their benefactors,

765
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: because the seventeenth Amendment wasn't for you to have a

766
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: popular vote in to say, and was to make it

767
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: cheaper for rent seekers to buy senators. And that's what

768
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: they have done. The academic research on this is so

769
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: very clear, guys, not only my own book, which I

770
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: won't pitch, but.

771
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 3: TODs Georgia mitch I wrote a book.

772
00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: Ten more ten years ago now called Virtuous our version

773
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: to us a republic. We have forgotten clause in the

774
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 1: American Social Contract, and the argument is that we really

775
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: are starting to delegate power to organizations, people, and et cetera,

776
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: which were really supposed to be invested in us. And

777
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: with those powers and rights, like Jefferson said, are responsibilities,

778
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: and because we didn't want them, we gave them to

779
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: other people, other organizations, right, and that has resulted in

780
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: us having less of a say, and of course government growing.

781
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: It's literally an inverse relationship. You can you can plot

782
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: it on a graph. It's a lot like Robert Higgs's

783
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: Crisis of lovey at Them, which is that they grow

784
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: even when they use the crisis to grow, and they

785
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: recede after the crisis, they never received back to their

786
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: previous size as a share of GDP, so they just

787
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: keep growing. And because the senators are not accountable to you,

788
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: they're really not. Let's get let's get it real here.

789
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: Look at what happened in Wisconsin and all these other states.

790
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: Grossly outspent, Kerry Lake, grossly outspent. Who do you think

791
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 1: represents the values of Arizona more, Kerry Lake or Ruben Gallegos. Right,

792
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: obviously it's Kerry Lake because of the money that was

793
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,879
Speaker 1: dumped into it by the rent seekers to buy Ruben. Now,

794
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: Ruben's their bitch, and Ruben will care more about what

795
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: they have to say than he ever will care about

796
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: the will of the voter in Arizona. They'll just buy

797
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: misinformation every six years to help get him reelected. That

798
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 1: is the point of this design. And all we have

799
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: left in that bloated bureaucracy in DC. Unfortunately, all that

800
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: we have left is the sovereign executive the extent, which

801
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: is really the extension of our sovereignty. And we let

802
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: this go. It's over over. It's why the Supreme Court decision,

803
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: which in God the Supreme Court came down on Trump's side.

804
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: It's why their decision about whether states could remove a

805
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: president from the valid whenever they want, just based on party.

806
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: That's why that was so important. It's also why the

807
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: immunity decision was so important, because if you handicap the executive,

808
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: they're handicapping your last voice, your last representation in that

809
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: and it's just so big right now. Unfortunately, if Joni

810
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: Earns was having these little, you know, cold feet moments,

811
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: the Iowa State Legislature would rip her ass out of

812
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: DC so fast it's not even funny because guess what,

813
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: they're being elected by their neighbor. Sean, if you ran

814
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: for your state legislature, whether it was the lower or

815
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: the up er chamber, you're literally seeing your voters every

816
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: day you walk out of the house. Joni gets to

817
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 1: hide and insulate herself now, all right, and she doesn't

818
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: have to worry about the legislature coming after her and

819
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: bringing her back for being I mean, look, let's face it.

820
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: When the debate over the seventeenth the men was going on,

821
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: the debate was whether or not they were corrupted, all right, Well,

822
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: now the debate is they are corrupted by rent seekers

823
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: on Caton Street in Washington, d C. And we have

824
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: no way to take them back except for these six

825
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: year elections, which are poisoned by misinformation and money. So

826
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: we handed we already hand and decapped ourselves. And the

827
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: power is not vested the way it used to be,

828
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: and that's the problem. I mean, it's used to be dispersed.

829
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: And there were multiple ways that the body, the sovereign voter,

830
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: the sovereign public could enact change, effect change, and they

831
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 1: are reducing that. Every year we've moved on as a republic,

832
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: they've reduced it and it's not even a republic anymore, unfortunately,

833
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: not the way it was intended. The seventy a of

834
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: the Amendment definitely has to go. It has to go

835
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: at some point or we need to find out. You know,

836
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: term limits is not a perfect answer to that, although

837
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: it's like the number one answer. The bottom line is,

838
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: let's stick with one big problem at a time. Let's

839
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: get control of the executive branch, and then we'll work

840
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: on you know, we'll work on the rest. But this

841
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: is a lign as Pete has to be aligned in

842
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: the sand because they have this playbook that they use

843
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: to keep you from enacting your will, and if you

844
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: keep letting them get away with this, then they get

845
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: emboldened and they think it's okay to like, I don't know,

846
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't like what Kennedy's talking about. You know, whoops?

847
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 3: All right?

848
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: I mean they just they get in boldened to the

849
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 1: point where this is really just a show. And elections

850
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: are just shows because they know they're insulated enough that

851
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: the president wouldn't even get his own government or her

852
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: own government in there to enact the agenda that they

853
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: were elected to enact. I mean this is these are

854
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: very big questions. These fights are very big fights, and

855
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: they're not just about whether or not, Oh does Pete

856
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: Hegsep have a drinking problem? Does he sleep a lot

857
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 1: of women? I don't give a damn if he gets

858
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: drunk every Saturday and nails every woman on the planet.

859
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: I want him to reform the damn peda God so

860
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: stupid trivial nonsense. Let's get real, not to mention, if

861
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: we ever dug into Sam Adams, you wouldn't like what

862
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: you have to see. If you dug John Hancock's business organization,

863
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: you wouldn't like what you have to see. I mean,

864
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 1: John Hancock was the og gangster of the American colonies,

865
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: who is basically a mob boss. Who cares? Do they

866
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,479
Speaker 1: care about the principle, the principles the country was built upon.

867
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: That's where we're at, Guys. We don't have this luxury

868
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: anymore for these stupid little things that they drag us

869
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: into the trivial, in the mundane, and it distracts us

870
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: from dealing with what is the most important questions of

871
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: our time. It's gotta stop. It's gotta stop. They have

872
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 1: to lose these fights. They so to start losing these fights.

873
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 2: So Boston guy again, thank you for the rumble rant

874
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 2: tip he said. Yeah, he said, John, thank you for

875
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 2: putting out all those videos today. That's the perfect way

876
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 2: to fight back. That's why I put it out there.

877
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: I found a bunch of just working with veterans out

878
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: there that just are have had it like speak out

879
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 2: because we need your voice.

880
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: That's our most dangerous weapon. Yeah, you're welcome, Boston.

881
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 2: No Bones, the guy who made the seventeenth Amendment comment said, correct,

882
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: Rich the Senate seated their power again.

883
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 3: Thank you, No.

884
00:48:55,719 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 2: Bones, Geef Fontes again your og. Regular Tipper Todd says

885
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 2: he just ordered five gift boxes from Good Rancher during

886
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 2: the show. They make a great holiday gifts. Yeah, hey,

00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm telling you like support our sponsors. They keep us independent.

00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 2: And then no bones again. Right, she knows the mid

00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 2: terms are coming soon and is groveling because we do

890
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: not like her.

891
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

892
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, well yeah, listen, lots of people, thank you

Speaker 1: You're in the holidays too. The generosity of these viewers.

00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: see the show grow, and you've been a huge part

902
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: of that, obviously, Rich coming on every single Wednesday for

903
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 2: a whole year. I told people on the Battle yesterday

904
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: that it looks like a Christmas bomb has gone off

905
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 2: in my house, like everything, all the decorations are out,

906
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 2: but they're just not up in Melanie. But Ben, Melanie

907
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 2: has a thing for Santa Claus. I think that she

908
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 2: has a definite thing for Santa I'm kind of jealous.

909
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 2: There are like a thousand Santas on my pool table

910
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 2: right now, and they'll get placed. And I mean I'm

911
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 2: not even exaggerating there there there are a shipload of

912
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 2: Santa's that well, she just likes Santa's. They'll be everywhere.

913
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 3: By the way, I like them. I like them too.

914
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 3: They're not you too.

915
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: She said, Sanna's got holiday riza. You can't compete with that.

916
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 1: The guy's got it going on. My favorite one. I

917
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: do keep him in the attic and he's actually like

918
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,800
Speaker 1: the red green implaid Sanna, which is like really old school,

919
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: and he's got a burlap gift bag. I love him.

920
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: He goes by the fireplace.

921
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 2: I like the I like that's saying a collecting thing.

922
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 2: Melanie just texted me all mad with a bunch of

923
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 2: exclamation points, which is never a good thing. Sean stopped

924
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 2: telling people my house is a mess. This is all

925
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 2: live show. Like you're experiencing this as I experiencing. I'm

926
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: not saying that the house is as I'm not saying

927
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 2: that I have in mine.

928
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 3: The house is amazing. It's clean.

929
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, in my ear, I'll get in trouble before you.

930
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,920
Speaker 1: I'll get in trouble. But with the growth of the

931
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: show that you were talking about, I mean, cause you

932
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: deserve it. You really do, you deserve it. You you

933
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: put on good content. But also you stepped up, man,

934
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: you stepped up. You know well, it's not an easy

935
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: thing to go through what you did. And it's a

936
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: it's a crime, man, it's a sin. What happened to you,

937
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: what they're doing to Pete. I mean, this stuff is like,

938
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,919
Speaker 1: believe me, Lord is my witness. When all of these

939
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: people take their last breath, they're getting life reviews and

940
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 1: every smear they ever ran, bro and how much damage

941
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: it did to people's children. You think they're going to

942
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: be forgiven for that? Good luck? You better hope you're

943
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: right about closing your eyes and that's it and being

944
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: a deep sleep because you're in for it. Boy, when

945
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: you get there, I'm telling you, I'm so glad you

946
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: don't care. It is true.

947
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 3: It affects kids in a horrible, horrible way.

948
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 2: And this is you know, I you know, I know

949
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,800
Speaker 2: that Pete does not need me to defend him. He's

950
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 2: he doesn't, but I know his family and I know

951
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: how this affects kids. I know it because I've seen

952
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 2: how it affected my kids and Rich I'm telling you,

953
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 2: you know, my kids when I ran for Senate, they

954
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 2: weren't on the ballot, you know, my my my wife

955
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 2: wasn't on the ballot, but they were all targets as well.

956
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you my kids still deal with it

957
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 2: every no, I'm serious, man, every single day. And so

958
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: you know, obviously Pete is a friend of mine. Obviously

959
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 2: I I you know, I defend my friend, period, end

960
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 2: of story. But I just I see how it affects kids,

961
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 2: and I don't want that for Pete. And there has

962
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 2: to be a counterbalance, like there has to be out there.

963
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 2: There has to be somebody out there saying, no, this

964
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 2: is all bullshit, because as the kids get older, they

965
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 2: will come through this. They will look it up on

966
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 2: the internet. They will read every horrible thing that was

967
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 2: said about their mom and their dad. One hundred percent

968
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 2: it's going to happen. And when they do that Google search,

969
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 2: they need to see somebody out there saying this is bullshit.

970
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it has to have a really good point. This

971
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: never goes away anymore. It's not the Bork situation. And

972
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: even with Robert Bork, you can still look it up

973
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: on the internet, guys, and you can still see what

974
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: they did to them. Now, most people understand that that

975
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: was the point in the in the nomination process, or

976
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: at least it's what the public or you know, the

977
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: political followers see where it was the point in the

978
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: nomination process where Democrats really began to like politicize it

979
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: and run people through the mud and destroy them. But

980
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: when they started to wreck Kavanaugh, we because there a

981
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: data journalism site. We really weren't like a political news site,

982
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,280
Speaker 1: but anything that was noteworthy with data journalism we covered.

983
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: And while that Kavanaugh was hearing what's going on, we

984
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 1: actually looked back and the nomination history, and it's overwhelmingly

985
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 1: the case that Democrats have like it's like an evolution

986
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: of stooping to a new low. They started this process.

987
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 1: They started this, you know, get in the mud to

988
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: stop nominees. They began this. Republicans have certainly not you know,

989
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: completely not guilty of it, but they do not do

990
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: it at the level Democrats have done. They historically are

991
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: the ones who started it and have escalated. It is

992
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: really where I'm going into the where into the state

993
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: that we're now in where none of this went down

994
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,240
Speaker 1: like this in the past, and even when our founders

995
00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: and our early leaders fought, they've thought about everything. You know,

996
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 1: this one's calling this one ah'mafrod I you know, I'm.

997
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 3: So glad you brought that up.

998
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 2: Ye.

999
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 3: Melanie and I talk about this all the time.

1000
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 2: I did an interview with somebody and they were like,

1001
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 2: don't you just think Trump's rhetoric is so terrible? And

1002
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,640
Speaker 2: Melanie and I had just had a conversation about some

1003
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 2: of the ship that the founder said to each other, Adam,

1004
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:20,760
Speaker 2: you slept with this woman.

1005
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 3: You're sleeping with all these You're sleeping with your employees,

1006
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 3: like your employees.

1007
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 2: You're banging this guy's wife, like the slave they're calling wives.

1008
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: You know, this one's nailing this slave.

1009
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 2: They're making fun of wives and horrible stuff about their wives.

1010
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 2: I mean like, and I'm like, you think this is

1011
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: just like a new thing.

1012
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 3: Now. Look at what the founders used to say.

1013
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: What's interesting about Mitt Romney's farewell address to the Senate.

1014
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to have a I wanted to have a

1015
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: video on this today. Uh, But I was like sitting

1016
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: with a compress on my eye all day when I

1017
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 1: was in that storage unit last night. I must have

1018
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: gotten something in my eye. Woke up in my eyes

1019
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: I was swollen shut and that's going on. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

1020
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: I got something in there, I guess. But what I

1021
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: would have said in a shortened version, what I would

1022
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: have said, is that that was actually a really historic

1023
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: speech in the sense that it not only marked what

1024
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,439
Speaker 1: is potentially the end of all of this. What we're

1025
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: talking about, the Rockefeller Republican way of doing things right,

1026
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 1: And so when we are polling, we up to say

1027
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,560
Speaker 1: do you align more, and we're talking to a Republican

1028
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: do you align more as a traditional or America First Republican.

1029
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 1: What we really mean by that traditional is that Rockefeller

1030
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: wing of the Republican Party that really does not identify

1031
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. It just did for a shortened period

1032
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: of time, and that's kind of remains in our memory

1033
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: because it's modern. But not only did it mark the

1034
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: end of that period, but the things he said in

1035
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: the speech also identify why that period is coming to

1036
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: an end. Right. I haven't been able to stop, unfortunately

1037
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 1: my life work of stopping the politicized oh hyperbolic. Uh, yeah,

1038
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: you got a break. Willard Okay, give me a break,

1039
00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: and then.

1040
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 3: He delecto, Pierre delecto.

1041
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: What that means?

1042
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 4: That delectable Peter bro this, this guy creates a fake

1043
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 4: Twitter account to trash people, and he's.

1044
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 3: And he's dear delecto. It means delectable Peter.

1045
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

1046
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 2: It's not me, it's it's not bullshit, it's the truth. Literally,

1047
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 2: everyone should call him that forever and then that I'll

1048
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 2: do it from here on in.

1049
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: All right, delectable Peter means then I know it does

1050
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: it does? You're right, you're right. Then he goes on

1051
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 1: to blame that hyperpartisanship for why he couldn't do things

1052
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: like the budget under control. No, you can't get the

1053
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,439
Speaker 1: budget under control because you're bought in, paid for two

1054
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: and you send billions of dollars to Ukraine because you

1055
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: don't have the spine or the principle to stand up

1056
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 1: the Democrats when they pretend they're giving money for COVID

1057
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: relief when really, in fact, it's nothing but a kickback

1058
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: to Biden's donors and all of their donors for winning

1059
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. Because you didn't have a spine

1060
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: to stop the inflation. Reduction Act, right, because you did it.

1061
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,000
Speaker 1: But of course who's he really blaming, right, He's blaming

1062
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: people like Donald Trump who are a stand because that's

1063
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: what he means when he's just like this, you know,

1064
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 1: rabid partisan. You who's he talking about? He's talking about

1065
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 1: Trump and Trump reporters. Right, So the nerve of this guy,

1066
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, really his speech and him embody this pivot

1067
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: point we're at in our history where the public has

1068
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 1: already said enough, this has got a change, and the

1069
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: system is operating as it always does in an elastic

1070
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: attempt to stop it. And again, like I said, and

1071
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 1: I really just want to kind of wrap come fullard,

1072
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, full circle here from what I first said,

1073
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: which is, if Republicans want to keep these voters all right,

1074
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: at some point, they're going to have to fight, and

1075
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: that includes fighting their own and that Listen, give me

1076
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:17,440
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. I'll get Lisa Murkowski to vote in favor

1077
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 1: of this nomination. Give me twenty minutes. Right, they don't

1078
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 1: do what is necessary, and it's time that that gets

1079
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: done because she's not at all secure and there's nobody

1080
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: in this world that doesn't have skeletons in the closet.

1081
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard what Laura was saying before,

1082
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: but the reason it's such as just charade, folks, is

1083
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: that these people, they're coming out with their anonymous sources,

1084
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: they probably plucked the story from last Saturday out of

1085
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: their own damn life, you know. I mean, these are

1086
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: the worst people to be lecturing anybody about adultery, about

1087
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: drinking habits. I mean, come on, you know it, Jean,

1088
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: come on, you know it. Go to an after hours

1089
00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: party for reporters who are covering let's say, Seapack. Go

1090
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 1: to the bar outside National Armor and chill out with

1091
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: the reporters after they're done for the day, you know, uh,

1092
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: covering Seapack, after they're done smearing every conservative who gave

1093
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: a speech that day. Go look at their behavior, all right.

1094
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: They're the worst people to be lecturing anybody anyone. And

1095
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: by the way, that includes a lot of so called

1096
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: mainstream right leaning people. Right does it really does? And

1097
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: by mainstream, of course, I mean the Rockefeller wing. That's

1098
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not you're not moderate. You just

1099
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: don't believe in anything. I hate that word. I absolutely

1100
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: hate that word. Are you a moderate?

1101
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: Moderate means have any convictions, no core principles, Yeah, you

1102
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 2: have no core principles.

1103
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: That's what being a moderate means, completely agree.

1104
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 2: And that's why when people say, like, you know, are

1105
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: you a radical, I say, well, yeah, if that means that,

1106
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 2: you know, I radically support the Constitution period.

1107
01:00:58,520 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I'm radical.

1108
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,959
Speaker 2: But I guess but in today's day and age, that classifies,

1109
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 2: at least to the left as far right radical far right.

1110
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 2: But I don't give a ship what they think. That's

1111
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 2: what that that this will defend right, that's that's that's what.

1112
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 2: Where did that get lost along the way?

1113
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: What made me radical? At some point? Right? I'm just

1114
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:22,160
Speaker 1: at a point too, and I think something popped in

1115
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: me after this election. I'm just tired of having my

1116
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: job listening to the American people not be listening to

1117
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,000
Speaker 1: and I feel bad for them. Well I've always I

1118
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 1: always have, but but I think I've about had it.

1119
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think I've about had it because at

1120
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 1: some point, believe me, they're going to make them listen.

1121
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You can't like this forever.

1122
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: They Every election is supposed to be a bit of

1123
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: a release valve, you know, where the tension comes down, right,

1124
01:01:56,280 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: and if you can't, if you routinely deny the people

1125
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: the government that they elected and the government that they want,

1126
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,160
Speaker 1: like this is what they're trying to do again, repeat

1127
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, where they denied a duly elected president's government,

1128
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: and they denied the people the government and the president

1129
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: that they elected. If they keep doing this, sean every

1130
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: time someone really poses a danger to the status quo,

1131
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: which means that translates into will bring change, real change,

1132
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: not campaign slogan change, real change that is necessary. It

1133
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: has to happen. This isn't working. This system, this government

1134
01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: is failing. The entire system is failing. We have to change.

1135
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: We have to institute reforms otherwise we'll have forced austerity soon. Otherwise,

1136
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: I mean eventually. You know, Romney himself talked about the

1137
01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: interest on the debt, you know, so if this doesn't

1138
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: change at some point, it goes the ugly way. If

1139
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: they keep doing this, then they're also really preventing that

1140
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: release foul from doing its job. And that's when things

1141
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: get real ugly, you know, That's when and it's honestly.

1142
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 2: On that note, we should prepare for the holidays, right,

1143
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 2: like things just rejoice that it's Christmas time.

1144
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: Trying to do that.

1145
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 2: Actually Christmas bomb that went off in the house. Everything's

1146
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 2: really organized. The house is definitely not a mess, but

1147
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 2: we've got Christmas stuff everywhere.

1148
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Turn the camera and show you I have a in

1149
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: because there's really no nowhere else.

1150
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 3: To put it.

1151
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I have everything that we've done so far, the boxes,

1152
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: because we'll keep all of the boxes that come, like

1153
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,439
Speaker 1: every piece of swag we've bought, every wreath we bought,

1154
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: and I get the wreath covers for every wreath we have.

1155
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: We probably have twenty wreaths. Every single one of them

1156
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: is in my office. They're all piled over here, all

1157
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: over there. It's taller than me. I'm not exactly a

1158
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: tall guy, but it's taller than me. It's just unbelievable.

1159
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: And the tree is in the dining room right now.

1160
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: That's got to go up. So I'm in the same

1161
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: I'm in the same boat with you, Missile Joe. Our

1162
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: elf elf on the shelf. We read the book last night,

1163
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: so he flew here from the north pole, you know.

1164
01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: And my son doesn't like me, doesn't like the elf

1165
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: on the shelf as much as she loves Santa.

1166
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 3: She does.

1167
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 2: She she sees Santa is like big brother around here.

1168
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 2: She doesn't want the elf telling Santa what we do

1169
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 2: because that's just like big brother. She is like like

1170
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 2: it's like it's like Santa's version of the agency. Yeah,

1171
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 2: she doesn't want Santa's version of the NSA in this house.

1172
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: We kind of don't, you know, We do it a

1173
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: little differently. We make him like he's a part of

1174
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: the family, and uh, you know.

1175
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 3: We You don't sleep with the elf, do you.

1176
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to the elf. No, we can't touch

1177
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: the elf. You know.

1178
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 3: I have two of them. I have two of them.

1179
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 3: Melanie allows the elves to be here.

1180
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta send you a video. I gotta send

1181
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: you a video. It's my wife. She was like, you

1182
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: gotta come here, Rich, come here. And she's video videoing

1183
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: my daughter touching him for the first time. And she

1184
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: because it's been ingrained in her for like twelve years

1185
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: more than that, she's older now. But she couldn't do it.

1186
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 2: Brother.

1187
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: She was like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. She

1188
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. And finally when she did it, she

1189
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: just had this like incredible reaction like she did something

1190
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: wrong and naughty, you know, and it's like it's it

1191
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: was hilarious. I gotta send you this video.

1210
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: We'll have to see how big the poll is. Something

1211
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,600
Speaker 1: is going to get sacrificed this year. It may be

Speaker 1: your favorite Christmas Carol version that may go this year

1213

01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,200
Speaker 1: maybe not have official results on this.

1215
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 3: We did.

1216
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: We already asked live or artificial tree. That's a big

1217
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: that's a big thank you. I lost that debate in

1218
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: the house, Melanie. Artificial winds now artificial.

1219
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 2: So we have to have a real tree that's a

1220
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 2: real thing for us, Like it's just it's I don't

1221
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 2: have us and I'm glad we go that way.

1222
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: The kid's tree is real. The decorative tree that's like

1223
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: the masterpiece of the house. I'll send you pictures like Laura's.

1224
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: She does a built Moore spruce and it's gorgeous.

1225
