1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael 2 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: Verie Show is. 3 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 2: On the air. 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 3: I wish you all good fast and that you and 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 3: your friends and families stay safe during this challenging time. 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: Ramadab Obama. 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 3: Under the effective leadership of Director Ray, the agency has 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 3: remained committed to doing things independently and buy the book, 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 3: which I think is. 10 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: Perhaps the most important characteristic. 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 4: I can say from first hand experience at a new 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 4: giant wall between the United States and Mexico from sea 13 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 4: to shining sea, makes no sense. 14 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 5: What's the lem It is amazing to me that he 15 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 5: goes out of his way. When Trump criticized Gina Haswell, 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 5: for example, Cornyn went on television and said she was 17 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 5: doing a fantastic job. And when Trump fired Mark Esperg 18 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 5: Cornan went on TV and called it unhelpful and unnecessary. 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 5: When Trump criticized doctor Fauci for refusing to open schools 20 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 5: and businesses, John Cornyn called Fauci a national treasure. When 21 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 5: Biden nominated notorious rush Gate Hope sco conspirator Lisa Monico 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 5: for Deputy ag Cordin took to the Senate war to 23 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 5: give a full throated, glowing endorsement for pnominating. When Trump 24 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 5: wanted to fire Robert Mueller, Cordon to Fennan Bueller's honor, 25 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 5: saying it would be a huge mistake for Trump to 26 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 5: fire him. 27 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: When Trump fired. 28 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 5: James Tony, Cordon went on TV and called it a 29 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 5: troubling and terrible decision. Recorded I mean, repeatedly praised and 30 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 5: slobbered over James Comy, calling him a good and decent man. 31 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 5: Quick reminder, James Comy called for the assassination of President Trump. 32 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 5: When the sham eg and Carrol verdict came out, Corny 33 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 5: ran to MSNBC to say that this because of this verdict, 34 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 5: Donald Trump was unelectable and shouldn't run again. 35 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: Really, it's a question of who bothers to show up. 36 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 6: If only the most radical people show up in the primary, 37 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 6: I think that's going to. 38 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: Be a challenge. The issue of. 39 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 6: War with Iran continues to drag, and I will argue 40 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 6: that the longer it drags, the less popular it will be. 41 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 6: I realize, based on my emails that makes some of 42 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 6: you angry. 43 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: I am not here to tell you what you believe 44 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: to already be true. 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 6: I'm here to tell you my opinion, and you tune 46 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 6: in for my opinion. If my opinion is not consistent 47 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 6: with what your opinion is, that's fine. You can either 48 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 6: choose not to listen today or forever, or you can 49 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 6: choose to say, wonder why he thinks differently than I do. 50 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 6: Maybe he values this more than I do or less 51 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 6: than I do, which is fine. 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: But that's what I'm doing. I'm not beholden to. 53 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 6: Tucker Carlson or Candice Owens or Ben Shapiro or Mark 54 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 6: Levin or anyone else, or any foreign country or any organization. 55 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 6: I just call balls and strikes as I see them. 56 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 6: Now understand this. I may have different views as to 57 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 6: what constitutes our involvement in the war. I may have 58 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 6: different views on how much nuclear capability Iran has or 59 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 6: does not have, or the extent to which we should 60 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 6: reduce the country to rubble, and all of those things. 61 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 6: I don't care who the country is with. I actually believe, 62 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 6: probably surprise some people, that we should that we should 63 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 6: be using our military to bomb the cartels, to absolutely 64 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 6: destroy the cartels and knock them down to nothing, because 65 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 6: if we don't during Trump, we won't have a shot again, 66 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 6: and they grow more powerful by the day. And it 67 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 6: will no longer be a war we're fighting in Mexico. 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 6: It'll be a war we're fighting on the American streets. 69 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 6: That worries me, and I'm not much of a warmonger. 70 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 6: By the way, President Trump participated in the what's called 71 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 6: the dignified transfer of six airmen who were killed already 72 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 6: in Operation Epic Fury. Their names Major General John Klinner 73 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 6: goes by Alex Captain Arianna Savino, Technical Sergeant Ashley Prewitt, 74 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 6: Captain Seth Coval, Captain Curtis Angst, and Tech Sergeant Tyler Simmons. 75 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 6: I assume tech is technical, could be I guess technology. 76 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. 77 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 6: I did not serve. I'm first going to tell you that. 78 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 6: So if I got that wrong, and please let me know. 79 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 6: John Clinner, Arianna Savino, Ashley Prewitt, Seth Coval, Curtis Angst, 80 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 6: Tyler Simmons. 81 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: Have died in defense of this country. And there is 82 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: a political cost to this. 83 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 6: There is an emotional toll taken on this, and the 84 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 6: President is very very aware of that. So let's hope 85 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 6: we can get a quick end sooner rather than later. 86 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 6: I do support our president, not because he's our president, 87 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 6: but because I don't think he is typically a warmonger, 88 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 6: his record has proven that I do believe Iran served 89 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 6: a real threat. I just worry when we start talking 90 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 6: about putting boots on the ground. I worry about the 91 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 6: human cost, and I worry about the political cost. Joe 92 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 6: Kent is a former US warrant officer, US Army warrant officer, 93 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 6: and a CI paramilitary officer who was serving until the 94 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 6: last couple of days as director of the National counter 95 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 6: Terrorism Center. He was also the Republican nominee in Washington's 96 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 6: third congressional district in both twenty twenty two and twenty 97 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 6: twenty four. Obviously, he didn't win. He enlisted in the 98 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 6: seventy fifth Ranger Regiment before the September eleventh attack, and 99 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 6: later applied for Special Forces. He completed eleven combat tours 100 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 6: Wow It's a lot, primarily in Iraq, before retiring in 101 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 6: twenty eighteen. He then transitioned to the CIA as a 102 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 6: paramilitary officer. His wife was killed in a suicide bombing 103 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 6: in Syria. After her death, he became active politically, ran 104 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 6: for Congress. 105 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: As I said twice, and he would go on to 106 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: lead the. 107 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 6: National Counter Terrorism Center, but he has resigned over the 108 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 6: bombing of Iran, and he says that Iran did not 109 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 6: pose a sufficient threat. And he says in his letter 110 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 6: that the President is being misled by Israel and dragged 111 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 6: into war by Israel. 112 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: Obviously this this is a tough topic. 113 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 6: More coming up to Michael Arry Joe. 114 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: When President Trump. 115 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 6: Grew very angry at Christy Neam over a number of things. 116 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 6: I don't claim to speak for the president, and there 117 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 6: are varying opinions as to what exactly was the straw 118 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 6: that broke the camel's back and what was the real 119 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 6: crux of the President's dismissal of her. I think generally 120 00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 6: she had become an ongoing distraction that was all down side, 121 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 6: no upside. I think the President liked her, you know, 122 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: when he was putting together his cabinet, it is not 123 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 6: lost on him that you do want to appear for 124 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 6: the political purposes to have some degree of diversity. I 125 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 6: don't think that he has succumbed to the allure of 126 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 6: creating a Benetton ad out of his cabinet or any 127 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 6: of his positions. But I think you still, if possible, 128 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 6: you find a woman or minority who shines. Yeah, it's 129 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 6: going to be an extra you know, it's a little 130 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 6: extra bump. 131 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: Great. 132 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 6: She's very attractive, she's very outspoken, she's spunky. She appeared 133 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 6: to be very loyal to him, so I think he thought, 134 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 6: you know, this is going to be a good face 135 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 6: for an agency that gets called mean, Department of Homeland Security, 136 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 6: particularly with the deportations. And it became clear very early 137 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 6: on that everything we had heard about her in South 138 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 6: Dakota is true. 139 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: She's one of these women. 140 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 6: Who gets really enamored of her own image and start 141 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 6: it goes too far, you know, posing with the big 142 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 6: guns and posing she has great arms and his great shoulders. 143 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 6: She's thin, so, you know, constantly going overboard in the 144 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 6: sex appeal. And I've had this conversation and people will say, well, 145 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 6: you don't want her to do that because she's a woman. 146 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 6: Well how about this, how about if a dude were Look, 147 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 6: I don't like that Fetterman wears a sweatshirt in Congress? 148 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: Is that I am against guys? 149 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 7: Now? 150 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: I think it's tacky. I think it's terrible. 151 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 6: I think it demeans the integrity of the institution. I 152 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 6: don't wear shorts and a flip flop to a funeral 153 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 6: that's at a church where I know it's a coat 154 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 6: and tie affair out of respect for the institution and 155 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 6: the moment. 156 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: And I hate wearing a coat and tie. I hate it. 157 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: And by the way, I really hate black tie. 158 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 6: But if I'm invited and I respect the host or 159 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 6: the location, I will do that. I will more often 160 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 6: just not go to the event because I don't. I 161 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 6: own a tuxedo and I hate wearing it. I hate it, 162 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 6: hate it, hate it. All Right, enough of that, So 163 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 6: I think Christy Nolum had become a rather big distraction, 164 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 6: and I think the President had decided, Look, we're already 165 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 6: deporting people, and that's gonna get blowback. It's gonna get 166 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 6: blowback because the Democrats are trying to They use pain as. 167 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: A way, as a tool. So the pain is they. 168 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 6: Want to they want to instigate their people to become 169 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 6: a martyr to the cause, and that's what they're doing. 170 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 6: The lesbian woman up in Minnesota that got herself shot 171 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 6: by trying to run over the TSA agent they provoked 172 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 6: her to do that. They want these people to become 173 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 6: to get killed because that draws a lot of attention 174 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 6: and then they make them into a martyr. It's really 175 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 6: no different than than than ISIS or the Taliban or 176 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 6: al Qaeda. 177 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: This is what they do. And so. 178 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 6: Christy Noam became a huge distraction. So the President makes 179 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 6: a rather quick decision. I think he was going to 180 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 6: delay it longer, but she had the congressional hearing, and 181 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 6: John Kennedy from Louisiana really really kind of created a 182 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 6: moment that couldn't be overlooked. Had the president approved of 183 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 6: this big expenditure on ads that looked like they were 184 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 6: campaign ads for her, and the story that it's kind 185 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 6: of one of those anecdotal deals, but sometimes anecdotal stories 186 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 6: really cut through more than others. The story that a 187 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 6: pilot forgot her favorite blankie and now she didn't have 188 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 6: her favorite blankie, and so she fired him. And then 189 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 6: the sort of irony and karma of the fact that 190 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 6: after she fired him, there was no one in this 191 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 6: remote location to fly her back the next day, so 192 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 6: they had to bring him back so he could fly 193 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 6: him home and then he would be fired. I have 194 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 6: read that that's true. I've not confirmed with sources that 195 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 6: that is true. Whether or not it is true, It 196 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 6: speaks to a sort of Sheila Jackson Lee for people 197 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 6: in Houston, Lena had allgo Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ferdinand Marco, 198 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 6: Amelda Marcos. This sort of, you know, bitchy queen, mean 199 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 6: Leona Helmsley kind of behavior. And it's not well received. 200 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 6: And I think the President said enough and he had 201 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 6: to quickly nominate someone, or he felt he did, and 202 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 6: he appeared to have done this off the cuff, the 203 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 6: choice of Mark Wayne Mullen, the junior senator from Oklahoma. Now, 204 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 6: I susp I do not know Mark Wayne Mullen. I've 205 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 6: not followed him closely. I know a little bit about him. 206 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 6: I've seen his stuff over the years. I am worried 207 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 6: that this is going to be the next Scaramuci for 208 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 6: those of you who remember his ten days of absolutely 209 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 6: being the most embarrassing Press secretary in the history of mankind. 210 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 6: That was a big mistake. There's no doubt about that. 211 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 6: The president does make some mistakes. Every president does get 212 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 6: a lot of positions to fill. I am worried based 213 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 6: on some things I hear that his nomination, if approved, 214 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 6: is going to turn out to be such a thing. 215 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 6: I hope not for the country and for this administration 216 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 6: and for the overall movement. But we'll talk about what 217 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 6: happened in the Senate hearing today coming up. So let's 218 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 6: talk about the confirmation hearing today chaired by Senator Ran 219 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 6: Paul from Kentucky for his colleague Mark Wayne Mullen. Mullen, 220 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 6: the junior senator from the. 221 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: State of Oklahoma. 222 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 6: Mark Wayne's story is the family is American, Indian. Think 223 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 6: they're Eric, Yeah, they're Cherokee. He was named for two 224 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 6: different uncles, Mark named Mark and Wayne. His mother later 225 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 6: said that she intended to separate the names a first 226 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 6: in a middle later, and she just never got around 227 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 6: to it. 228 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: I like the two first names. It's kind of redneck. 229 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: It's kind of my family. 230 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 6: There's a lot of us that go by two names, 231 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 6: you know, in an era where traditional, especially southern white 232 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 6: male names and culture are constantly being pilloried. I like 233 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 6: it Mark Wayne Mullen. So I'm already disposed toward the guy. 234 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 6: I'm a little skeptical of some of the things that 235 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 6: I've seen that he supposedly said about smelling war and 236 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 6: things like that when he did not serve. But I'm 237 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 6: hoping that's an aberration nobody's perfect. Nobody's perfect. So all 238 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 6: I'll say is, you know, put a put a little 239 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 6: marker right there, you know, and we'll get back to 240 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 6: that in the next recording session in time. 241 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: All right. 242 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 6: So he goes before ran Paul's committee today, and he 243 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 6: and ram Paul have some very very bad blood and 244 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 6: it appears to be very personal. You may say, well, 245 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 6: they're both Republicans. I I don't know exactly what happened. 246 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 6: Ran Paul wanted to know if wanted to give him 247 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 6: the opportunity to apologize, because ran Paul said that he 248 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 6: had approved of when rand Paul's neighbor ran up behind 249 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 6: him and sucker punched him a bunch of times in 250 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 6: the ribs and shattered his ribs and punctured his lungs 251 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 6: and could have killed him. And he asked Mark Wayne Mullen, 252 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 6: would you like to apologize for saying you approved of that? 253 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 6: And Mark Wayne Mullen's response was, I didn't say I 254 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 6: approved of it. I said, I understand, and then the 255 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 6: tense conversation continued and he again said, I said I understand. 256 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 6: The clear implication I think most people would gain from 257 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 6: that is his saying you're annoying and I've wanted to 258 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 6: punch you myself, and doctor Paul did not seem to 259 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 6: appreciate that one bit. 260 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: So this is a rather tense moment. 261 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 6: I'm guessing Trump was watching, and Trump liked that a lot. 262 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 6: It doesn't help the process, but it's the sort of 263 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 6: thing that Trump likes, you know, taking a shot at 264 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 6: a guy you don't like, a guy refusing to you know, 265 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 6: you know, it would be seen as a show of 266 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 6: strength to Trump. And so there was going to be 267 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 6: a briefing this afternoon, and then there would be expected. 268 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: To be a vote tomorrow. 269 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 6: I want to focus on this particular part of the 270 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 6: process because this speaks to a much bigger issue. Rand 271 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 6: Paul is saying, in order to get these senators to 272 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 6: agree to push your nomination forward, they need a security briefing. 273 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 6: And Mark Wayne Mullen says, I will give a security 274 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 6: briefing to you and the leader of the Democrats and 275 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 6: another Democrat. Not the whole meeting, not the whole committee. 276 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 6: And Ran Paul says, no. Now, what you're witnessing here 277 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 6: is two competing values that I think both have have meaning. 278 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 6: Number One, you got Mark Wayne Mullen saying, you and 279 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 6: I both know what will happen if we let the 280 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 6: Democrats in on this meeting. 281 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: They're supposed to be classified information. 282 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 6: They will run from there and tell the press everything 283 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 6: they can to try to embarrass the administration. And we're 284 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 6: just not going to do it. They don't have to 285 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 6: like it, but we're not going to tell them things 286 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 6: because that's what they do, and they will. 287 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: They will bring. 288 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 6: Harm upon individuals who we're supposed to be protecting by 289 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 6: classifying this information. All right, So that's a valid point. 290 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 6: But Rand Paul's point is our senators need information in 291 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 6: order to be the leaders of our government because the 292 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 6: intelligence agencies and security agencies have too much power. And 293 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 6: when you say to the only people accountable to the public, 294 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 6: elected officials, you don't get to know what's going on 295 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 6: in the government for whatever reason, because you run tell 296 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 6: the press or whatever else. When you say to them that, 297 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 6: you are saying you're not the government. And the moment 298 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 6: that our elected officials are told by someone you can't 299 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 6: know what's going on in the government, which is done 300 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 6: every day, is the moment you have to ask, well, then, 301 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 6: who is running the government? 302 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: Kind of like the moment. 303 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 6: When it was said, I can't remember who said it, 304 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 6: but whoever is loading Joe Biden's teleprompter, that's the president. 305 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 6: If all Joe Biden does is read the teleprompter, then 306 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 6: the person who's putting the copy on the teleprompter is 307 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 6: in charge. When our senators were being spied on by 308 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 6: the CIA or FBI or one of our intelligence agencies 309 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 6: or all of them, that means our senators are not 310 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 6: the government. That means the intelligence agencies are. Now if 311 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 6: your response to that is, well, that's fine, because our 312 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 6: senators are terrible anyway, Okay, at least you can vote 313 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 6: your senators out. Well, not yet, we're about to do 314 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 6: it in Texas. John Cornyn is going to be gone. 315 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 6: You actually can vote them out. You don't know who 316 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 6: the intelligence agencies are. And before you think, well I 317 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 6: trust them more than the senators, on. 318 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: What basis. 319 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 6: What do they have to hide? Well, a lot of 320 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 6: people believe that there's just good people in the agencies 321 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 6: and they're not like those awful politicians I know everything about. 322 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 6: They're good people in the agencies and they hide information 323 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 6: and they have to. That would be Jim Comey. You 324 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 6: think Jim Comey is a good guy. That would be 325 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 6: Andrew McCabe. You think Andrew McCabe is a good guy. 326 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 6: That would be James Baker, not the former Secretary of State. 327 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 6: That would be the James Baker that was in the FBI. 328 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 6: That would be Peter Strasik. That would be Lisa Page. 329 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 6: You think those were good people. When Snowden told you 330 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 6: that they were spying on you and then he had 331 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 6: to flee the country for fear of his life, he 332 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 6: viewed that as a very patriotic act. 333 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody says he did. You don't 334 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: have to agree with that. 335 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 6: When he exposed the extent to which our government is 336 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 6: spying on us. 337 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: There were people who said, well, we already knew it. 338 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: Oh did you? Yeah, and you're okay with it. Well 339 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: that's not the point. 340 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 6: Well, if he exposed something you already knew, then he 341 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 6: did no damage and you don't need to prosecute him. 342 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: Right, you already knew it. Well, I suspected it. 343 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 6: I think I'm more bothered that you suspected your government 344 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 6: was spying on you and didn't want to know because 345 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 6: of the childlike belief that it's okay if they're spying 346 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 6: on me, because that means they're spying on other people. 347 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 6: But haven't you seen that they spy on other people, 348 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 6: They get the information, and then they don't stop them 349 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 6: from committing crimes. That means you're giving up your any 350 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 6: sense of liberty, any sense of what your constitution worked 351 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 6: so hard to provide for you. 352 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: Michael Berry's CHOI. 353 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 8: You don't. 354 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: I don't listen to modern music. 355 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 6: I found one of the very powerful tools of seventies 356 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 6: classic rock and country is the repetition of a line. 357 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: Say that line, say it again. 358 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 6: And I guess that could be perceived as well, you 359 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 6: run out of things to say. That's not how I 360 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 6: look at it, but I suppose some people could say that. 361 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: But I just always found that to be a very 362 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: powerful technique. 363 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 6: So Ramon, we were talking about Rand Paul and Mark 364 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 6: Wayne Mullen, and I was talking about the clash between well, 365 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 6: you know, Ran Paul saying, you know, being a libertarian saying, hey, 366 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 6: the members of the committee need to be briefed on 367 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 6: what's going on because we're the people responsive to the public. 368 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 6: Even well, yeah, that's what that's what our job is, 369 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 6: which I agree with Mark Wayne Mullen's response being I'll 370 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 6: have the Democrat leader on this committee, you the chairman, 371 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,120 Speaker 6: and one other Democrat, and Ran Paul said no, no, no, no, no, 372 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 6: everybody gets a briefing. And Mark Wayne Mullen is implying 373 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 6: and everyone knows this. If we give the Democrats a briefing, 374 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 6: they'll run to the press with it. And yes, that's true. 375 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 6: And I suppose this question really determines where you are 376 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 6: on the conservative versus libertarian end of the spectrum, and 377 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 6: that is, you know, do you trust your government, the 378 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 6: unnamed government bureaucrats, to protect us because you hate the 379 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 6: fact that the Democrats are all leakers? Or do you, 380 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 6: on the flip side, say some light's the best disinfected. 381 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 6: Get it out there, even though we know they're going 382 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 6: to leak it. Put it out there. And you know, 383 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 6: we can go back and forth of this all day. 384 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 6: I really don't care what your opinion is. I just 385 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 6: think these are the sorts of things we should be 386 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 6: thinking about. But here was the exchange with Al Jolbert. 387 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 4: Thank you, I said previously, we've scheduled over tomorrow. 388 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm committed to that. 389 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 4: There are several members on both sides of the owle 390 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 4: that would like a briefing in the skiff, they have 391 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 4: it from one to two. If you're willing to do that, 392 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 4: several members would like just to walk over and do it, 393 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 4: and I think that makes it much more likely that 394 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 4: we have a vote. 395 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: Tomorrow, Sir. I would prefer to have the ranking member yourself, James, 396 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: and if you want to bring another Democrat member net 397 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: as all and that's all or. 398 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 4: That as all the all the members need to be 399 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 4: able to hear it directly, and the problem openers. The 400 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 4: eatings are siloed, and it just looks like resistance that 401 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 4: you don't want everything to come out are coming. If 402 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 4: you let any member of the committee and classified staff 403 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 4: into it, I think we can get and de'stifying as 404 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 4: long as ascent a classified setting, as long as what yeah, 405 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 4: that's fine, kids in class wid security, our staff and staff. 406 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: Ps gs c s s yeh. Yes. 407 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 6: So they're talking about where the where the committee meeting 408 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 6: will occur and what that, what that will what that 409 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 6: will look like. They Senate voted fifty one to proceed 410 00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 6: with a marathon debate on the Save America Actowski was 411 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 6: the lone dissenting quote unquote Republican vote. North Carolina Senator 412 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 6: Tom Tillis, who has also opposed the bill, did not vote. 413 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 6: He is an outgoing senator, and you learn a lot 414 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 6: about these guys when they're on their way out, because 415 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 6: then you notice that they do what they really want 416 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 6: to do, which is not what they campaigned to do. 417 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 6: Our team put together a montage of Democrats opposing the 418 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 6: Save Act, but you know the reality of it all 419 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 6: is deep down the Republicans Tom Tillis, John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell, 420 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:53,199 Speaker 6: John Thune, Lindsey Grahmnesty. They don't want the Save Act. 421 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 6: They don't care about integrity in our elections because they 422 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 6: don't want to have to fade the heat. They don't 423 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 6: want want to be called racist, they don't want to 424 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 6: be called bad names. They don't mind the steady slide 425 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 6: of our country into the abyss because their theory is 426 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 6: by the time it gets bad enough, they won't be around. 427 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: They're all geezers anyway. 428 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 6: They want you to believe that voter ID will suppress 429 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 6: some people's vote, but that's a red herring. The real 430 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 6: reason they want to kill this bill is it eliminates 431 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 6: male in voting, with some rare exceptions, that's the real 432 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 6: reason they want to kill this bill. Here is a 433 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 6: montage of Democrats on the Save Act with the little 434 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 6: curb your enthusiasm be. 435 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 8: Now in the United States Constitution also makes clear that 436 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 8: only citizens can vote. 437 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: That's a constitutional requirement. 438 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 8: This is really one of the most pernicious pieces of 439 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 8: legislation that I've ever seen, and they try to disguise 440 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 8: it because they know how bad it is. But simply 441 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 8: the same bank is designed to make it harder to 442 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 8: vote and easier to steal an election. 443 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 3: Which brings me to the so called Save America Act. 444 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 3: This legislation will not save anything about America, but it 445 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 3: will destroy something precious about this country. 446 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: We're not going to let it pass. 447 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 9: We're going to fight it too thin nail compared to 448 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 9: stay here all day and all nights, or multiple days 449 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 9: and multiple nights and even multiple weeks if necessary, to 450 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 9: make sure the Save Act suffers the death that it deserves. 451 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 3: It is not meant to empower people to determine the 452 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 3: direction of the nation, but to deprive them of that power. 453 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 2: The Save Act, for instance, it's nothing of a throwback 454 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 2: to those laws that were passed after reconstruction that made 455 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 2: it impossible after the America get elected, and if the 456 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: same pact becomes law, it will reduced dramatically. The number 457 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 2: of African Americans has started a serving in the congressions not. 458 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: To encourage citizen participation in government, but to discourage it. 459 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 7: It creates complicated and costly bureaucratic hurdles for Americans to 460 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 7: either register to vote or to reregister if they're like 461 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 7: those sixty nine million women who happened to decide to 462 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 7: change their name when they got married. 463 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: Not to heal a nation that is badly divided, but 464 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 3: to cause further division, disunion, and democratic decay to. 465 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 10: Save acts which I think violates the Nineteenth Amendment. When 466 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 10: you tell American women you bring your driver's license and 467 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 10: you bring your birth certificate, and if they don't match, 468 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 10: which they won't for sixty nine million American women, then 469 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 10: you need to bring a passport. And half of the 470 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 10: people don't have passports, you know, so oh yeah, just 471 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 10: go out and buy an ID. That's a poll tax Mecca. 472 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 8: Republicans would rather take down on democracy than back away 473 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 8: from their own ideological policies. This is a phony issue 474 00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 8: that Donald Trump is creating. 475 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: We had a listener emailments. 476 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 6: Afternoon, went to SPCA Society for Prevention to put to 477 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 6: the animals to. 478 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: Adopt a dog, and they said he needed to have 479 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: an ID to do that. 480 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 6: They're a kill shelter, so if the dog's not adopted, 481 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 6: the dog will be killed. And they said, no, you 482 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 6: don't have ID, we're gonna kill the dog. And yet 483 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 6: they don't want you to have an ID to vote
