1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:01,800 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 2: It is a verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 2: with you. And the big breaking news is obviously about 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 2: the indictment obsession over Hunter Biden. Now, Senator this one 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: actually makes me angry. You've talked about this and really 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 2: predicted it on this show long time ago that the 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 2: whole reason why they were doing that plea agreement on 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 2: the gun crime is that insulated the president. And it 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 2: was the perfect crime to charge Hunter Biden with in 10 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 2: that sweetheart plea deal because it insulated and you couldn't 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: connect any dots to the presidency or the Biden crime 12 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 2: family with all the money going in and out of 13 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 2: accounts and the suspicious active reports. Sure enough, the same 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: guy that gave him the sweetheart deal, who's now the 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: special prosecutor who's indicting him, is going after the first thing, 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: the gun crime. I mean, you can't write the script 17 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: any more ridiculous than this, and yet here we are 18 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: well badly. 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: That is correct. 20 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 3: The Special Council, David Weiss, We've talked about that when 21 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 3: Merrick Garland appointed him. It was illegal under the DOJ rules, 22 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 3: a special council has to be outside the DOJ. But 23 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 3: the reason that I believe that David Weiss was appointed 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: Special counsel is because he had already demonstrated he would 25 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 3: give a sweetheart deal to Hunter Biden. He'd already demonstrated 26 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 3: that he was willing to be complicit in the obstruction 27 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 3: of justice at DOJ to number one, prevent investigation into 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: the more serious crimes from Hunter Biden, and more importantly, 29 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 3: to block any investigation into the big guy, into Joe Biden, 30 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: and that that is the most important objective in the 31 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: heavily politicized Biden DOJ. Now, on Wednesday, David Weiss, the 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: Special Council, filed a pleading in the United States District 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: Court for the District of Delaware, stating that he intends 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,279 Speaker 3: to indict Hunter Biden. But what he intends to indict 35 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden out is a gun crime. Now, at this point, 36 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: as we're discussing it, we don't know the details of 37 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: exactly what that indictment will hold. But what we know 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: is the gun crime is a crime that is uniquely 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: limited to Hunter. There's no connection to Joe. There's no 40 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: connection to Joe's corruption, there's no connection to bribery from Joe, 41 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 3: there's no correction, connection to Ukrainian oligarchs paying Hunter for 42 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 3: access to Joe. There's no connection to Ukrainian oligarchs or 43 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: Russian oligarchs or Chinese communist officials paying Hunter for specific 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 3: official favors from Joe Biden. Instead, the gun crime is 45 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: a personal crime, and the talking point of the Democrats, 46 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: the talking point of the media is listen, Hunter Boyd 47 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: Biden is a troubled soul with substance abuse problems and 48 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: and and he's struggling. I got to say, looking at this, 49 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 3: the gun crime is not the reason the public cares 50 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: about Hunter Biden. The reason this is a matter of 51 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: public concern is the official corruption of the then vice 52 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 3: president of the United States and today the President of 53 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: the United States and trying to trumpet look how tough 54 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: we are. We're going against Hunter for the gun crime, 55 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: especially given that David Weiss already negotiated the sweetheart deal. 56 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 3: And by the way, his initial proposal is Hunter Biden 57 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: doesn't plead guilty to anything of significance. His second proposal 58 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: was Hunter Biden pleads guilty to criminal offenses, but serves 59 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: not a day in jail. So this third iteration, I 60 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: don't know maybe it has some mild jail time, but 61 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: it is designed consistent with the pattern to protect Joe Biden, 62 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 3: and that is the overarching objective, I believe of the 63 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: incredibly politicized Biden DOJ. 64 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 2: You look at the DOJ and we've also mentioned in 65 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: this before, but I want to take a moment to 66 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: remind people if you're a lawyer, and put your lawyer 67 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: hat on for a second for us and explain this. 68 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: If you're sitting in a room and you see all 69 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: of the all these crimes that they could investigate, and 70 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: you see all the the things that could tie you 71 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: to the White House, could tie you to the Presidency, 72 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: could tie you to two different whistle blowers, the I 73 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 2: r S, the FBI, everything that's come out, and then 74 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: you said, okay, we got to give them something, so 75 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: you pick. If you're again, I'm saying this from like 76 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: the standpoint of a Hunter Biden lawyer. You know, we 77 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: sit in a room and we picked the charges we 78 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 2: want against our guy. Would you have picked this charge 79 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: as well? Because it has none of those things that 80 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: you're really worried about in it. 81 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 3: Sure, it is uniquely focused on Hunter personally, there's no 82 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 3: arguable connection with Joe Biden. It insulates Joe Biden. So, 83 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: for example, there's no indictment. There appears to be no 84 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: even meaningful investigation over Hunter Biden's text message on the 85 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 3: on the WhatsApp app to a senior Chinese Communist official, 86 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: where he says, quote, I am sitting here with my 87 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 3: father and we would like to understand why the commitment 88 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I 89 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: would like to resolve this now before it gets out 90 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: of hand, and now means tonight. I will make certain 91 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: that between the man sitting next to me, in other words, 92 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 3: Joe Biden and every person he knows, and my ability 93 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 3: to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not 94 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 3: following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the 95 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 3: call with my father. Now that is direct evidence of 96 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden shaking down a Chinese Communist official for millions 97 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 3: of dollars and threatening retaliation from Joe Biden, then the 98 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: sitting vice president of the United States. If they brought 99 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: an indictment for that, that would be a serious legal, political, 100 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: and even existential peril for Joe Biden. So, of course, 101 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: David Weiss, operating as the political protector in the Biden 102 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 3: doj is not going to bring that. In stead, he's 103 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: going to bring a gun crime, which is specific to Hunter. 104 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 3: And remember the question to ask in each of these 105 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 3: instances is are they focused on Hunter or are they 106 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 3: willing to address Joe, which is the real matter of 107 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 3: public concern. 108 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends 109 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: and in viro Quins, you should choose an air purifier 110 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: like your life depends on it, because it just might. 111 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: More than thirty five thousand wildfires have devastated the US 112 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: this year.

You 132 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: mentioned that weiss filed this paperwork, and that's when everybody, 133 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: of course lost their mind. Oh, finally, Hunter Biden's going 134 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: to get indicted. I rolled my eyes at it. You 135 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 2: basically did as well. What does this say moving forward? 136 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: And is there any hope that he might actually charge 137 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 2: Hunter with other crimes or if this is what he's 138 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: leading with, is this kind of probably going to be 139 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: most of what we're going to get out of. 140 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Him in all likelihood? 141 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 3: Yes, Look, we've covered it in this podcast. How initially 142 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 3: David Weiss and the Biden Department of Justice wanted to 143 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: cut a deal with Hunter. Biden where he doesn't plead 144 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 3: guilty to any serious crimes, where he gets off scot 145 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: free on everything. And when there began to be some 146 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 3: attention on this, in particular, what happened when the I R. 147 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 3: S whistleblowers came forward. They realized, oh crap, we can't 148 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 3: be that transparently political. So they reached agreement number two, 149 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 3: the sweetheart agreement, where Hunter would plead guilty to a 150 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: couple of misdemeanor charges and the gun charge, which was 151 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: the more serious charge, would be placed in deferred adjudication, 152 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: and he would serve zero jail time, not get a 153 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 3: felony conviction, and he would have complete exoneration for any 154 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 3: and all conduct. That includes corruption and bribery concerning Barisma 155 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: and Ukraine, that includes corruption and bribery concerning Russia, that 156 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 3: includes corruption and bribery concerning Communist China. Those are the 157 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: serious charges, and the Biden Department of Justice entered a 158 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 3: sweetheart deal where they said, we'll give you a pass 159 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 3: on everything. Well, what happened is they filed that sweetheart deal. 160 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 3: They expected it to be Rubbert stamped by the judge. 161 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: But then the irs whistleblowers went and testified before the 162 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: United States Congress, testified before the House. Then one of 163 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: the whistleblowers went on national te levision on CBS, and 164 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: people looked at this and said, Holy crap, this stuff 165 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 3: is serious. Is this is real corruption, This is corruption 166 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 3: that implicates the President of the United States. And I 167 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: think what happened is the Biden DOJ realized this slap 168 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: on the wrist, we can't give Hunter a get out 169 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: of jail free pass for any and all criminal conduct 170 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 3: in exchange for zero criminal time in jail. And they 171 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 3: still showed up in federal court hoping to push the 172 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 3: plea agreement through. But when the judge asked them, is 173 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: there a chance you might still indict Hunter for something else? 174 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: They were forced to say yes, not in fact, because 175 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: they were investigating Hunter. I don't believe they are investigating Hunter. 176 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 3: I don't believe they want to know what else Hunter did. Instead, 177 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: I think they said yes because given the hearings and 178 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 3: the House representatives, given the whistleblowers, they knew that saying no, 179 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 3: we're not even investigating, we don't even care if the 180 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 3: President of the United States is shaking down foreign nationals 181 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 3: for bribes. That was untenable. That was the sweetheart plea 182 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 3: deal that ultimately got thrown out of court. And now 183 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 3: I think the Special counsel is going back and trying 184 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: to enter some variant. We'll see the details of it, 185 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: and as I said, it may involve some nominal jail time. 186 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: But this critical question, and we've discussed this for months 187 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,479 Speaker 3: and months and months on this pod. If the prosecution 188 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 3: involves purely personal conduct by Hunter, if it involves drug possession, 189 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 3: if it involves the gun crime, if it involves things 190 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 3: that Hunter did on his own that only implicate a 191 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: poor substance abusing an addicted child of the president, then 192 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 3: it is a political smokescreen. Because the reason you've got 193 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 3: the US Department of Justice focused on this is because 194 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: this fact pattern seriously implicates official corruption by the President 195 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 3: of the United States, and any prosecution, any indictment that 196 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 3: ignores the evidence of corruption by the President of the 197 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 3: United States, is I believe designed to protect the President 198 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: of the United States. 199 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't be bamboozled over this, And that's the main 200 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: point here. If they're gonna do it this way, do 201 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: not celebrate this. And I promise you that media is 202 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: going to try to hoodwink you on this. They're gonna 203 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,239 Speaker 2: say they're gonna do big breaking news coverage. 204 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: This is shock. 205 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, he's been indicted and they're hoping that 206 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: will suffice and they can say, see you held accountable. 207 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: That's the that's the game. 208 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 3: Pling And by the way, by the way, remember this 209 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: is also designed for parody. See we indicted to Biden. 210 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 3: Now we can indict Trump four times and go after 211 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 3: him and try to ban him from the ballot and 212 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 3: in the presidential elections because we indicted Hunter for a 213 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 3: slap on the wrist for a personal crime. 214 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, be ready for this because it's going 215 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 2: to come and it's going to be absurd the way 216 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: they do it, but this is how they're going to 217 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 2: do it. I want to move to something else. Center 218 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: that we really led the way on this issue getting 219 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: out and then the listeners did an amazing job of sharing. 220 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 2: It was one of the biggest podcasts I think we've 221 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 2: ever done together, and it dealt with the issue of 222 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: nine to eleven. You issued a statement afterwards and that 223 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 2: also went viral, and you have a new statement and 224 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: update I want you to tell you about tonight. This 225 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: goes back to that letter that the DOJ or I 226 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: should say, the d sent out to families victims of 227 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: nine to eleven, and they were letting them know and 228 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: a heads up that we were probably going to do 229 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: a plea deal with Khalid Shaik Muhammad and I think 230 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: it was three or four other terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, 231 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: Khalead shake Mohammad. We went through the history of who 232 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: he is the mastermind of nine to eleven but also 233 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: killed many other people and many other attacks around the world, 234 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 2: innocent children, women, et cetera. And they were going to 235 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: do a deal to spare him the death penalty so 236 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: we could get him out of GITMO and then close 237 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: down Getmo. That's the ultimate goal for the d D 238 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 2: and the Biden administration. We now have an update because 239 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 2: of the outrage of so many listeners of this show 240 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 2: and others and that story going viral, it looks like 241 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: they're not going to get away with it. 242 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: That's exactly right, and I wouldn't take a minute to 243 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 3: thank the listeners a verdict because because I actually think 244 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 3: you guys made a real difference in something that matters 245 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 3: enormously in this country, which is, as we discussed on 246 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 3: this podcast, the Biden administration sent out letters to the 247 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: families of the victims who were murdered on September eleventh 248 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 3: and said, hey, we're contemplating a plea deal where Khlead 249 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 3: Shiek Muhammad and other conspirators behind the mass murder on 250 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 3: September eleventh would be spared the death penalty. They'd give 251 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 3: it life in prison. They would be exempted from capital 252 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: punishment despite the fact that they committed an active war, 253 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 3: despite the fact that they killed nearly three thousand people, 254 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: We'd spare them. And you know, when they sent this letter, 255 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: it was initially getting almost no press coverage. No one 256 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: was covering it, no one was discussing it. ABC didn't 257 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: discuss it at the six o'clock news, NBC didn't discuss it, 258 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 3: CBS didn't discuss at CNN didn't discuss at MSNBC didn't 259 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 3: discuss it. The entire corporate media ignored it. You and 260 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 3: I were so outraged by it that we sat down 261 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 3: to do our pod and we actually had three topics. 262 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: This was topic number one. We had two other topics, 263 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 3: and we ended up deciding you know what. The entire 264 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 3: podcast is going to focus on this issue on September eleventh, 265 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: on the horrific terrorist attack that came after America, on 266 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 3: what it meant, and on the outrage listen the Biden 267 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: administration and we talked about in that podcast. And by 268 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: the way, you got to go back and listen to 269 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: that podcast. You can go back and find we did 270 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: a full podcast on this September eleventh effort of the 271 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 3: Biden administration. To spare the mastermind of September eleventh, but 272 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 3: I believe this is part and parcel of the Biden 273 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 3: Administration's effort to essentially abolish the federal death penalty. And 274 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: before Joe Biden leaves the White House, I think he 275 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: is going to pardon or commute the sentences of every 276 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 3: single federal death penalty prisoner, including the racist lunatic who 277 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: murdered nine African Americans at the Mother Emmanuel Church in Charleston, 278 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: South Carolina, including multiple vicious terrorist and murderers. But as 279 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 3: a result of this podcast, we focused the entire thirty 280 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: minutes of the pod on the facts behind it, and 281 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 3: we asked you, We said, if you're outraged, pick up 282 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 3: the phone call your house member, call your senator, call 283 00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 3: the White House, and say do not spare this September eleventh, mastermind, Well, 284 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 3: we were about the only people shining a light on this, 285 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 3: and it ended up people got worked up, which is good. 286 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 3: They should have been worked up. We were worked up. 287 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: It was wrong, it was outrageous, it was astonishing what 288 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 3: they're doing. Well, I got to say. On Wednesday, the 289 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 3: administration came out and announce that it was not going 290 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 3: to accept the Plea deal. And and here's what prosecutors 291 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 3: said in a filing quote. The administration declined to declines 292 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 3: to accept the terms of the proposed joint policy principles 293 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 3: offered by the accused of the Military Commission's case, United 294 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: States versus Mohammed at all. And so I think that 295 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: is a real victory verdict listeners ought to feel proud of. 296 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 4: Now. 297 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: To be clear, the Biden administration gave themselves some wiggle 298 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 3: rooms so they may go back and take the deal, 299 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: but they at least filed a court pleading saying they're 300 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 3: rejecting the deal. That's a major victory. It was only 301 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 3: the political pressure that came, and that political pressure was 302 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 3: generated in very significant respect by the listeners of this podcast. 303 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: But my view is the bastards that attacked America, that 304 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 3: murdered nearly three thousand Americans, they ought to be prosecuted, 305 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 3: They ought to be sentenced to death, and they ought 306 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: to be executed because I think it's a matter of 307 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 3: justice that people that committed horrific terrorist attacks on America 308 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 3: they should face the ultimate punishment. But the only way 309 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 3: we'll be sure that happens is if the American people 310 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 3: hold this administration to account and if they're too embarrassed 311 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 3: and ashamed to let these guys off. 312 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 2: My next question for you is this, is this just 313 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 2: a pause and delay strategy, Senator, and do we have 314 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: to keep monitoring them or does this put this to bed, 315 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 2: especially for the victims and the families that were affected 316 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 2: by nine to eleven. They got these these you know, 317 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: I would say, horrific letters from the Department of Defense 318 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 2: and saying that they may spare these guys' lives after 319 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 2: these men trained and did all that they did to 320 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: kill their family members. 321 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,919 Speaker 3: Well, we don't know entirely. What we know is that 322 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 3: the prisoners not only wanted to be spared the death penalty, 323 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 3: but they wanted the Department of Defense to accept a 324 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 3: guarantee that they would not serve their sentences in solitary 325 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 3: confinement and that would allow them to eat and pray 326 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 3: with other prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. They also wanted a 327 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: civilian run program to treat brain disorders, to treat sleep disorders, 328 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 3: and to treat gastro intestinal damage that they say the 329 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 3: CIA caused during investigations. That's the demand the Biden administration 330 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 3: turned down. There is a tiny bit of wiggle room 331 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 3: that they could come back and say, Okay, we're not 332 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 3: going to give you those concessions, but we are going 333 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 3: to take the death penalty off the table. And one 334 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 3: of the key reasons I think, I think there are 335 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 3: two things going on in the Biden administration. One, these 336 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 3: left wing radicals or ideologically opposed the death penalty. They 337 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 3: don't want anyone executed. Ever, they want to essentially repeal 338 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 3: the federal death penalty. 339 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: Now. 340 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 3: They don't want to go through the constitutional process of 341 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 3: supporting legislation and Congress trying to get the votes and 342 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 3: repealing it as a matter of law. They just want 343 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 3: to say, we the executive branch are going to refuse 344 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 3: to enforce the death penalty and in fact, are going 345 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 3: to commute or pardon anyone convicted of the most egregious 346 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 3: offenses in the country. I think a second objective, and 347 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 3: again we talked about this at length on the prior 348 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: pod on this topic, is they want to close Guantanamo 349 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 3: and listen. When it comes to foreign policy, the Biden 350 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: administration is a press release administration. In other words, they 351 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 3: don't follow coherent foreign policy objectives. They don't have a 352 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 3: strategic vision for defending this nation. Instead, they want a 353 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 3: simple press release that lets them trumpet their moral virtue. 354 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 3: So in Afghanistan, you know, you ask yourself, why was 355 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 3: the surrender to the Taliban, the withdrawal from Afghanistan so 356 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 3: utterly incompetent, such a disaster. A big part of the 357 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 3: reason is the Biden White House viewed it as, Hey, 358 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 3: we want to be out of there by September eleventh, 359 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 3: because then we can show how virtuous we are that 360 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 3: we withdrew from the war by September eleventh. The problem 361 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: is when the military said, okay, if we leave that early, 362 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 3: we need sufficient troops to maintain Bogram Air Force Base 363 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 3: and also maintain Kabbal Airport, and the Biden White House 364 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 3: said nope, nope, we don't care pull them out abandoned 365 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 3: Bogram Air Force Base. We don't need a secure airfield. 366 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: We haven't evacuated anyone. We haven't evacuated Americans, we haven't 367 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 3: evacuated the Afghans who assisted us. But we have a 368 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 3: press release to issue, So ignore the national security imperatives. 369 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 3: Let's issue our press release. I think in the case 370 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 3: of GITMO, their objective is the same. They want to 371 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 3: press release saying we are closing Gittmo. In order to 372 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: do that, they've got to remove the most dangerous terrorists 373 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 3: from GITTMO. In order to do that, they have to 374 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 3: send them to prisons in the continental United States. And 375 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 3: in order to do that, they either have to get 376 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 3: a conviction or get a plea deal. And so I 377 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 3: think part of the reason they want the plea deal 378 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 3: is to shut Gitmo because they get a good press 379 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 3: release from it. But I think the listeners of verdicts 380 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 3: and millions of Americans stood up and said no and hell. 381 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 2: No, yeah, it's especially this close to nine to eleven, 382 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: it's so vitally important that we have this victory, and 383 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 2: especially for those family members that are victims. All over 384 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 2: again when they got this letter, and like you said, 385 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 2: thank you to all you that listened for picking up 386 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: that phone and standing up and saying no and calling 387 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 2: you elected official, because without you, I don't think this 388 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: would have happened. Let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. 389 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian 390 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider. 391 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: That's a decade now. 392 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 2: You may not have heard of them because they were 393 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: a smaller company that have grown over the last decade. 394 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 2: And now it's time for you to make the switch 395 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 2: if you've never done it before. Why Because Patriot Mobile 396 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: gets rid of the woke agenda by the big Tech 397 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 2: has Big Mobile has, and they offer you dependable nationwide coverage. 398 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: They give you the ability to access all three major networks, 399 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 2: which means you get the same coverage that you've been 400 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: accustomed to without funding the left's agenda. Did you know 401 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 2: the Big Mobile actually supports planned parenthood and it has 402 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 2: been for decades. Well, if you don't want your money 403 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 2: going there, then switch to Patriot Mobile. And when you do, 404 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 2: you're not just sitting a message that you support free speech, 405 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: religious freedom, the sancty of life, the Second Amendment, and 406 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 2: our military, our veterans and first responders. But your money 407 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: that you pay is actually going to help those causes. Yes, 408 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 2: every time you pay your bill at next charged to you, 409 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 2: you're helping those causes. They have one hundred percent US 410 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: based customer service team that makes switching easy. You can 411 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: keep your same cell phone number you have right now, 412 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,719 Speaker 2: keep your phone that you have right now, and you 413 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: can upgrade your phone if you want to. When you 414 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 2: make the switch, call Patriot Mobile eight seven eight Patriot. 415 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: That's eight seven eight Patriot.

Climate change 421 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 2: has become obviously an election year issue, at least for 422 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 2: the Democrats. You can see it over the last couple 423 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 2: of weeks. They're kind of testing things, they're really pushing 424 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: things here. But now we're finding out how academia deceives 425 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: people about climate change. And this is something that I 426 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 2: think is not just disingenuous, but it's really disgusting. They 427 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 2: put out a new report that has actually come out 428 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,719 Speaker 2: and they say that there's there's a new prediction that 429 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 2: one bill billion deaths will happen from climate change this century, 430 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 2: so you better get on board. Researchers from Canada Australia 431 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: have published this new study predicting one billion deaths from 432 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: climate change over the next hundred years, citing a scientific 433 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 2: quote consensus. 434 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: The author's analyze. 435 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 2: They say, one hundred and eighty studies on climate change 436 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 2: immortality covering on a one thousand ton rules. So this 437 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: is a new theory which means for every thousand tons 438 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 2: of fossil fuels burn, a person dies. Now this article 439 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 2: is published and it contends that a future person, a 440 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: future person is killed every time humanity burns to a 441 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 2: thousand tons of fossil carbon. They say, based on that 442 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: calculation that burning a trillion tons of fossil carbon will 443 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 2: cause two degrees celsius of global warming are ag W, 444 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 2: which in turn they say will cause roughly a billion 445 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 2: future premature death spread over a period of very roughly 446 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: one cent I wish they use this type of logic 447 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 2: when they were talking about unborn children that are killed, 448 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 2: but of course they'll never do that. But this might 449 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: be the most ridiculous, fear mongering article, and they say 450 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 2: it's a scientific consensus. 451 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 3: Now, well, look, there is an enormous problem with the 452 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 3: politicization of science, and particularly what it concerns climate change, 453 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 3: the dishonesty of science. I'm going to make a radical 454 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 3: claim right now. I predict with absolute certainty that seven 455 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 3: billion people alive today will die in the next hundred 456 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: years of climate change. Now, mind you, there are a 457 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 3: little over seven billion people alive today, and it is 458 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 3: a virtual certainty that all of us will die in 459 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 3: the next one hundred years. And whether there was climate 460 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 3: change or not, that assertion is unquestionably true. 461 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: It just is. 462 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 3: Utterly disingenuous to claim it's climate change that will cause it. 463 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 3: Let me focus on There was an article that came 464 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 3: out on September fifth from guy named Patrick Brown. Now 465 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 3: Patrick Brown is a PhD climate scientist and he is 466 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 3: the co director of the Climate and Energy Team at 467 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 3: the Breakthrough Institute, and he wrote an article in the 468 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 3: Free Press that I think is really consequential. I want 469 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 3: to just read from you the beginning of the article. Quote, 470 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 3: if you've been reading any news about wildfires this summer 471 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: from Canada to Europe to Maui, you will surely get 472 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: the impression that they are mostly the result of climate change. 473 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 3: Here's the AP quote, climate change keeps making wild fires 474 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: and smoke worse. Scientists call it the new abnormal. From 475 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 3: PBS News Hour quote Wildfires driven by climate change are 476 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 3: on the rise. Spain must do more to prepare, experts say, 477 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 3: And from the New York Times, how climate changed turn 478 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 3: lush Hawaii into a tinderbox? And from Bloomberg quote, Maui 479 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 3: fires show climate change's ugly reach. Now here's doctor Brown 480 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 3: continuing from this quote. I am a climate scientist, and 481 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 3: while climate change is an important factor affecting wildfires over 482 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 3: many parts of the world, it isn't close to the 483 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 3: only factor that deserves our sole focus. 484 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: So why does the. 485 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: Press focus so intently on climate change as the root cause? 486 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 3: Perhaps for the same reasons I just did in an 487 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 3: academic paper about wildfires in Nature, one of the world's 488 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: most prestigious journals. It fits a simple storyline that rewards 489 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 3: the person telling it. The paper I just published, climate 490 00:28:53,400 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: Warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California, focuses 491 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 3: exclusively on how climate change has affected extreme wildfire behavior. 492 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 3: I knew not to try to quantify key aspects other 493 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 3: than climate change in my research because it would dilute 494 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 3: the story that prestigious journals like Nature and its rival 495 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 3: Science want to tell. This matters because it is critically 496 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 3: important for scientists to be published in high profile journals. 497 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 3: In many ways, they are the gatekeepers for career success 498 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 3: in academia, and the editors of these journals have made 499 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 3: it abundantly clear, both by what they publish and what 500 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 3: they reject, that they want climate papers that support certain 501 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 3: pre approved narratives, even when those narratives come at the 502 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 3: expense of broader knowledge for society. To put it bluntly, 503 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 3: climate science has become less about understanding the complexities of 504 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: the world and more about serving as a cast kind 505 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 3: of Cassandra urgently warning the public about the dangers of 506 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 3: climate change. However understandable this instinct may be, it distorts 507 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: a great deal of climate science research, misinforms the public, 508 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: and most importantly, makes practical solutions more difficult to achieve. 509 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 3: This is a stunning indictment of the machinery and apparatus 510 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 3: around quote unquote science today. The journals publish quote unquote 511 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 3: research that echoes the pre approved political orthodoxy they want published, 512 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 3: and if you don't echo that, they don't publish you. 513 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 3: And it is one of the many really corrupt aspects 514 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 3: of how science and climate change reporting and academic work 515 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 3: is really doing a disservice to the American people. 516 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 2: When you look at not only the fact that this 517 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 2: is how you get the money. And I do think 518 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 2: it's an issue of follow the money as you just 519 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: describe it. Certainly it's an indoctrination on college campuses and 520 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 2: among researchers, and the cash flow is if you believe 521 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 2: in this, we will fund you. But when you make 522 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: these atletis claims and then you treat them as fact, 523 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 2: there's nothing you can do to debate this with them. 524 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: When you look at what they said here, they said 525 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: this is a scientific consensus, and the authors say they 526 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 2: analyze one hundred and eighty studies, all of them, I'm 527 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: sure were studies that were funded by radical lefties and 528 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 2: global warming activists, right, those that raise money, etc. But 529 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: when they come out and say that, you know, we're 530 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: going to lose a billion people, you make it sound 531 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 2: that bad. Is there any way to overcome that with 532 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 2: anything else? But this propaganda, and I think that's why 533 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 2: they make these atlantis claims. 534 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: Well, it's why we need people, people in colleges and 535 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 3: universities and think tanks, in the academic world and in 536 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 3: the scientific world, to reject politicized science. Let me read 537 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: a little more from doctor Brown. Doctor Brown says quote. 538 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 3: So in my recent Nature paper, which I authored with 539 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 3: seven others, I focused narrowly on the influence of climate 540 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 3: change on extreme wildfire behavior. Make no mistake that influence 541 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 3: is very real. But there are also other factors that 542 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 3: can be just as or more important, such as poor 543 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 3: forest management and the increasing number of people who start wildfires, 544 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 3: either accidentally or purposely. A startling fact, over eighty percent 545 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 3: of wildfires in the US are ignited by humans. I 546 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 3: want to repeat that sentence because the corporate media will 547 00:32:53,560 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 3: never say it. A startling fact. Over eighty percent of 548 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 3: wildfires in the US are ignited by humans. Now here's 549 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 3: what doctor Brown continues to say. In my paper. We 550 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 3: didn't bother to study the influence of these other obviously 551 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 3: relevant factors. Did I know that including them would make 552 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 3: for a more realistic and useful analysis? I did, But 553 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 3: I also knew that it would detract from the clean 554 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 3: narratives centered on the negative impact of climate change, and 555 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 3: thus decrease the odds that the paper would pass muster 556 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 3: with Natures editors and reviewers. This type of framing with 557 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 3: the influence of climate change unrealistically considered n isolation is 558 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 3: the norm for high profile research papers. For example, in 559 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 3: another recent influential Nature paper, scientists calculated that the two 560 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 3: largest climate change impacts on society are deaths related to 561 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 3: extreme heat and damage to agriculture. However, the authors never 562 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 3: mentioned that climate change is not the dominant driver for 563 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 3: either one of these impacts. Heat related deaths have been 564 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:12,439 Speaker 3: declining and crop yields have been increasing for decades despite 565 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 3: climate change. To acknowledge this would imply that the world 566 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 3: has succeeded in some areas despite climate change, which the 567 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:26,720 Speaker 3: thinking goes, would undermine the motivation for emissions reductions. This 568 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 3: is a narrative of so called scientific inquiry scientific journals 569 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 3: academic journals that have abandoned the mission of science. Science 570 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 3: is about examining evidence following the scientific method, beginning with 571 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 3: the hypothesis, looking to evidence to disprove that hypothesis, and 572 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 3: determining what's happening today. An enormous amount of science is 573 00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 3: simply politics covered in scientific garb, and in no places 574 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 3: that more profound than in the world of climate change, 575 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 3: where there are billions of dollars connected to so called 576 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 3: scientists telling the preferred political narrative. Facts be damned. 577 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is no longer about facts, certainly in academya 578 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 2: where it's supposed to be about that. Now it's about 579 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 2: propaganda and indoctrinating people to this while they all find 580 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 2: their private jets to climate change events, which I still 581 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 2: laugh at the hypocrisy of that. 582 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: Let me tell you about Chalk real quick. 583 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,760 Speaker 2: If you're a guy and you feel like you're losing 584 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 2: your edge, you feel like you've just got fatigue that 585 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 2: is set in.

Lastly, while we were doing the show, there's 608 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 2: some new audio that's come out and I want you 609 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 2: to get your reaction to it. Bill Maher went on 610 00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 2: MSNBC and he said this, calling out the media are 611 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 2: refusing to cover the Hunter Biden Joe Biden Biden crime 612 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 2: family scandal. 613 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: It's shocking to even have a working democracy. 614 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 4: But it's so funny. I mean, after I was on 615 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 4: Joe Rogan the other day. And yes, I don't understand 616 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 4: how they can equate this equivalency between Trump and Biden. 617 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 4: And in a lot of cases, I guess Joe's now 618 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 4: for Trump, you know pretty much out there saying it. 619 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,359 Speaker 4: Do I love everything about Biden? No, But you know, 620 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,439 Speaker 4: I just don't understand how they can look at what 621 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 4: Trump did. Now. Does the Hunter Biden scandal stink? It 622 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 4: really does stinks to the high heavens. I mean, that's 623 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 4: real corruption there that a lot of the left wing 624 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 4: media will not cover. But it's nothing like what Trump did. 625 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 4: There's just no equivalency to be you can say what 626 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 4: about for anything? But like I said to him, you 627 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 4: just can't tell unlike things apart if you see that 628 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 4: the same way. But you know, they also shouldn't cover 629 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 4: up what by I mean, if if John Junior sure 630 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 4: had done the things that Hunter Biden did. 631 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: It would be every day. Yeah, I hear you on that. 632 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 1: I got one that. 633 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 4: Cocaine in the White House. Who couldn't be who does 634 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 4: cocaine around? And we can't figure it out? 635 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you hear that. And yeah, he said some 636 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: things about Trump. 637 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 2: But this is Bill Maher calling out MSNBC on MSNBC saying, 638 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 2: you guys won't cover this, and you would be covering 639 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 2: every day if it was anything with the Trump team, 640 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: and basically, you guys are full of it and wisses. 641 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 1: Look. 642 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 3: I don't personally know Bill Maher. I've never met him, 643 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 3: and he's someone who is a doctrinaire liberal. He is 644 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 3: a man of the left, but he represents in many 645 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 3: ways just how radical the Democrat Party has been. Because, 646 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 3: to Bill Maher's credit, he's remained a consistent doctorate air liberal. 647 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 3: So he actually believes in principles like free speech, he 648 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 3: believes in principles like religious liberty. He's willing to speak 649 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 3: out against the asinine radicalization of the Democrat Party. So 650 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 3: he's spoken out against the extreme transgender ideology. He's pointed 651 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 3: out that that that's saying that suddenly massive percentages of 652 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 3: our children are transgender and should be sterilized and and 653 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 3: and and have medical operations to to try to change 654 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 3: their physical appearance of sexuality. That that is an extreme 655 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 3: and dramatic shift in our society. And what he's saying here, listen, 656 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 3: you and I disagree with his assessment of the relative 657 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 3: mayor of Trump's conduct versus Biden's conduct. But I'm going 658 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 3: to give him credit for acknowledging Biden's conduct because MSNBC 659 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 3: doesn't do that. That's the outlet he was on. CNN 660 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 3: doesn't do that, ABC doesn't do that, NBC doesn't do that, 661 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 3: CBS barely does that. It does that a little bit. 662 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 3: And you know, I will credit him for saying, listen 663 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 3: the evidence. Now, if you're a regular Verdict listener, you 664 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,720 Speaker 3: know the evidence. You know the evidence that Joe Biden 665 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 3: personally solicited and received millions of dollars of bribes from 666 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 3: foign oligarchs and enemies of America. That is a big 667 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 3: damn deal. But the fact that Bill Maher I have 668 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 3: multiple times retweeted, pushed out Bill Maher's monologues and excerpts 669 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 3: on his show. At some point, I'll go on a show, 670 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 3: I haven't. We actually invited Bill to be on this podcast, 671 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 3: and he was willing to do it, and we just 672 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 3: couldn't make the scheduling work. So I hope at some 673 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 3: point we have Bill Maher as a guest on this pod, 674 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 3: and we've talked about I'm willing to go on a show, 675 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 3: and we haven't been able to make that scheduling work either, 676 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 3: But I hope at some point I'd like to have 677 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,839 Speaker 3: a conversation with him. I've never spoken to the man, 678 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 3: but I respect that as an old school liberal, he's 679 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 3: actually holding the line of an old school liberal and 680 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 3: looking around at the Democrat Party going, you people are crazy, 681 00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,839 Speaker 3: and looking around at the media going when you don't 682 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 3: cover serious evidence of corruption by the President of the 683 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 3: United States, that undermines the integrity of what you claim 684 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 3: to be, which is journalism. And that's it's yet an 685 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,280 Speaker 3: under other indication of just how radicalized the Democrats have become. 686 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a nice break there, certainly from the 687 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 2: reality of what you see every day on MSNBC. And 688 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:48,160 Speaker 2: the shock on the face of the of the MSNBC 689 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,319 Speaker 2: host when he was saying this was maybe the best 690 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 2: part of all because it was like, I cannot believe 691 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 2: he's saying this. I cannot believe he's saying this. I 692 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,919 Speaker 2: absolutely loved it for that reason.
