1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that election last night. I'm going to 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: tell you my thoughts on it. Cernovich is here to 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: break it down for us. What do we have to 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: worry about if Democrats take power again? And Supreme Court stuff, 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: all that and more coming up. I'm right, Okay, we 6 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: had an election last night. Elections last night all across 7 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: the United States of America. You were obviously well aware 8 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: of this. We had them in New York, we had 9 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: them in Jersey, we had them in Virginia, we had 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: them in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, California, on and 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: on and on it goes. And we'll get to what 12 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: happened last night in a moment. We'll talk about New 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: York City and other things. But I wanted to explain 14 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: something and get ready because you me, we're going to 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: have this conversation probably after every single election in the country. 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: It's important to understand some things. So first, let's cover 17 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: this part of it. In life, in all walks of life, 18 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: there are some things you can control and there are 19 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: some things that you can't. They're bigger than you, bigger 20 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: than me. We don't have the power to control them. 21 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: So before we get into the other parts of elections. 22 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: Let's discuss this part. The party that is out of 23 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: power nationally traditionally does really, really, really well in off 24 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: year local state elections. And it's very understandably understandable why 25 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: when we were looked not long ago, we were in 26 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: Biden's presidency, the mid term elections and local elections and 27 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: state elections and those things like that, how motivated were 28 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: you to get out to the polls. Did you need 29 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: somebody to poke you in the ribs and say, hey, get. 30 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: Off the couch, get off to the polls. 31 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: No. No, you were very angry about the direction of 32 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: the country, the open border, everything else. So even if 33 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: there was an election for dog catcher in your area, 34 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: something that didn't have anything to do with Joe Biden, 35 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: you were still there at the polls. You had an 36 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: extra motivation the people in power didn't have. Traditionally, it's 37 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: just human nature. The people who are out of power 38 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: do better in these elections. And while we can try 39 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: to fight against that, we can try to mitigate this 40 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: or that, and believe me, I'm going to get to more. 41 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: Look it's not all sunny, right. I'm not trying to 42 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: make you feel better, but I'm just explaining, it's New Jersey, 43 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: it's New York City, it's California, it's Virginia. These are 44 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: not blood red areas. We were already swimming against the tide. 45 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: Didn't go our way. Sucked, It sucked. It was a 46 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: bad night. I'm not saying otherwise. It sucked, But come on, 47 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: should you wake up today and you were stunned that 48 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: New York City elected a communist, which we get to 49 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: in a moment. Okay, So I wanted to get that 50 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: out of the way. There are big, national, thirty thousand 51 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: foot view things that you're powerless to stop. The motivation thing. Now, 52 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: let's talk about other parts of elections. First, you and 53 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: I we want to believe something. We will always be 54 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: this way. We want to believe that the people we 55 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: share a country with, the people on the sidewalk outside 56 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: right now, the people driving next to us, the people 57 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: in our children's school. And it worked, But we want 58 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: to believe that they share our value system, at least 59 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: some of it. Maybe we're not going to align exactly. 60 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: You and I don't align exactly, but they share some 61 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: of it. Right, But that's not the history of the world, 62 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: and that's not how it works when you look at 63 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: things like the election in New York City. But this 64 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: is pretty consistent across the board. You know who picked 65 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: the communists overwhelmingly. You know who picked the communists? Foreigners 66 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: and young single women. Foreigners and young single women, over 67 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: and over and over again, young miserable, mentally ill liberal 68 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: women in this country collaborated with hostile foreigners to burn 69 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: your country to the ground. If you look at the 70 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: breakdown of the exit polls of all these races, when 71 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: you look at normal people, married couples, men, people born 72 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: in America, they didn't vote for Mamdani in New York City. 73 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: They didn't want spam Berger in Virginia. Okay, So what 74 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: does that mean. It means that you and I have 75 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: a lot to overcome. We have to overcome young single, 76 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: miserable women and foreigners. The young single women part we 77 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: can get to another time. But you realize that half 78 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: that coalition can be taken care of. Deport them, stop 79 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: allowing mass immigration into the United States of America, legal 80 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: or illegal, and the ones who are here, deport them, 81 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: send them at home. Do you have any idea how 82 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: many problems, including electoral problems, disappear like that if we 83 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: send foreigners back home, disloyal foreigners whose loyalty can be 84 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: bought with a welfare check, with a CDL, just support them. Okay, 85 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: there's that aspect of it. We have hostile interests, some 86 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: foreign some domestic inside of the country who don't share 87 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: your values, they don't share my values, and we will 88 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: always have to overcome that until we solve those problems. 89 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: So that's a big thing. Another big thing to keep 90 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: in mind with elections. I've learned this after being probably 91 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: twenty years now. I've been involved in politics twenty years. 92 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: Every race has its own story. What we want as 93 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: human beings, I'm the exact same way. What we want 94 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: is a simple give me the bumper sticker, give me 95 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: the simple headline. Why do we lose? And you want 96 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: it to be one sentence. We lost all these races 97 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: because of blank. It's because of Trump or tariffs or 98 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: I So we want simple. But each in every race, Virginia, 99 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,559 Speaker 1: New Jersey, New York City, everywhere, each and every race 100 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: had its own candidate, its own campaign, its own story 101 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: to tell. For instance, in Virginia, I personally, as I 102 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: told you before, I like when some earl Sears. I 103 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: find her personally very appealing. I think she's talented. But 104 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: they didn't have a primary. She didn't do well race money. 105 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: Therefore she didn't do well getting out the vote. The money, 106 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: the organization was not there. Abigail Spanberger raised a bunch 107 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: of money. Her people were out in the streets. And 108 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: so these are nitty gritty things. Unless you're in Virginia, 109 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: you don't know these things. You look and you say, 110 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: Virginia's communist. Maybe we caught lightning at a bottle last time. 111 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: Maybe we didn't run quite the race we were supposed 112 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: to run this time. What's the opposite of that. You 113 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: want some good news. I live in Texas. Now, if 114 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: you don't live in Texas, maybe this isn't good news 115 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: to you, but it'll show you trends in Texas. There 116 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: were I believe seventeen constitutional amendments that the people got 117 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: to vote on. We got to vote on them here. 118 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: I disagreed with a few, but for the most part 119 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: they were absolutely wonderful. We're talking about certifying parents' rights 120 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: and getting rid of the death tax, and forcing these 121 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: commedy judges to get the criminals in jail. A lot 122 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: of things you like, they all passed sixty seventy percent approval. 123 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: Beyond that, in my local community, here's another aspect of 124 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: elections we don't think about. In my local community, they 125 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: were trying to increase taxes for various things. That four 126 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: or five things. They were trying to increase taxes. But 127 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: you know what the language read on the ballot, big 128 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: bold letters, this is a tax increase, and then then 129 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: explained what it was. Sounds simple, sounds small. The language 130 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: on the ballot matters. All those things were shot down. 131 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: You see, every race, every candidate, every campaign has its 132 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: own story to tell. When you're supposed to come up here, 133 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to show up on television this time and night, 134 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: and I'm supposed to tell you all is lost, all 135 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: is one. We lost because of A. We didn't lose 136 00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: because of B. But things are complicated now. Beyond all that, 137 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: let's just touch on this aspect of it. As long 138 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: as I brought up the young women and foreigners. Did 139 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: you catch any of Ma'm Donnie's victory speech last night 140 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: New York? 141 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: Tonight you have delivered. 142 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: A mandate for change, a mandate for a new kind 143 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: of politics. We will prove that there is no problem 144 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 3: too large for government to solve and no concern too 145 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 3: small for it to care about. I speak of Yemeny 146 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 3: bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers, and who's 147 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: beck nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties. I am young, 148 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 3: despite my best efforts to grow older. 149 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: I am Muslim. 150 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: I am a democratic socialist, and most damning. 151 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 2: Of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this. 152 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: It's not a message for you. And you know, to 153 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: his credit, he didn't even attempt to talk to you 154 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: or about you. He didn't mention America or Americans. He 155 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 1: didn't mention your race, your religion, because that's not who 156 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: gave him power. Young miserable American women on anti anxiety medication, 157 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: combined with the foreign hordes, flooded into New York City 158 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: and they put him in the mayor's house. American born 159 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: New Yorkers did not vote for Mandonni. They overwhelmingly rejected Mandannie. 160 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: You know who knows that, ma'am Donney. My point in 161 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: bringing this up is, really this is my central point. 162 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: A couple things. I actually want to wrap this up 163 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: because we have so much we want to get to tonight. 164 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: Couple things to remember. I told you this after we 165 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: want in November. You've heard me say something similar to 166 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: this several times before. We have before us, in the 167 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: interest of saving the country. We have before us, not 168 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: one race, not one year, not one battle, ten thousand 169 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: of them. For the rest of your life, there will 170 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: be elections, critically important elections, local, state, federal, ten thousand 171 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: battles still to fight. And I am going to make 172 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: you a promise right now. We are going to win 173 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: some of those battles, and we're going to lose some 174 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: of those battles. And on the night we went like 175 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: last November, we can be happy and should be happy. 176 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: We should not ever stand up and say, finally the 177 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: devil who's been defeated, all as well, We're good to go. 178 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go sit on the couch. Doesn't work that way. 179 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: And on nights like last night, wiped out in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, 180 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: New Jersey, California, wiped out, we should not wake up today. 181 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: While we can be sad, we can be mad, we 182 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: should not wake up today. It's all that's lost. What's 183 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:31,479 Speaker 1: coming doing in doesn't work that way either. Ten thousand battles, 184 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: some we will win, some we will lose. And look, 185 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: if you watch, I'm right you kind of knew about 186 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: things like Virginia already. Sean Spicer told us yesterday. 187 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 4: I like Wins personally. I've did an event with her 188 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago. She has not run the 189 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 4: greatest campaign. She has not raised the money that she 190 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: needs to. She has not put the operation together that 191 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 4: she needs to her team. I think in a lot 192 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 4: of cases has let her down, but she's been vastly outspent. 193 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 4: I've talked to a lot of perennial Virginia donors who 194 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 4: say they were never even contacted. So I don't think 195 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 4: this has been the best effort put forward. 196 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: The final lesson is just watch this show and you'll 197 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: be better prepared to handle the winds and the w's now, 198 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: Mike Cernovich does have some hard things to say to 199 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: the GOP, probably very valid things. He's pretty down on 200 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: last night, and we're going to talk to Mike about 201 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: all this. In just a moment before we talked to Mike, 202 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: you know what we need for ten thousand battles energy focus. 203 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: You have to feel good. How could I be sitting 204 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: here after a bad night still have a little smirk 205 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,959 Speaker 1: on my face ready to go? Couldn't wait to come 206 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: to work today because I take a male vitality stack 207 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: from chok every day. I have natural herbal supplements in 208 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: my life that make my mind work well. My body 209 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: feels good better at home, at work they have male 210 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: vitality stacks and female vitality stacks. You want to start 211 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: your day off with all the vitamins and minerals they 212 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: have chok lit powder. Go find out what chalk can 213 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: do for you. How much better your life is going 214 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: to be Chalk dot Com, slash Jesse TV. We'll be bad. 215 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 5: It was, you know, not expected to be a victory. 216 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 5: It was very democrat areas. But I don't think it 217 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 5: was good for Republicans. I don't think it was good. 218 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 5: I'm not sure it was good for anybody. But we 219 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 5: had an interesting evening and we learned. 220 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: A lot interesting. Certainly wasn't good. I just reemphasized what 221 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: I said in the open that it was bad. We've 222 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: had bad nights before. I'm not sure that it spells doom. 223 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: Mike Cernovich, who my friend Mike Seravic is joining us 224 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: right now. Thinks that we are in some trouble if 225 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: some things don't change, and I think he deserves the floor, Mike, 226 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: the floor is yours. Well. 227 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 6: I felt that way the minute Trump won I posted 228 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 6: November eleventh, twenty twenty four. Somebody could find that tweet 229 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 6: that we need to worry about the midterms. So here's 230 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 6: here's the thing that everybody, all the not you, but 231 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 6: the consultant class misses. They go, well, Trump drives Democrat 232 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 6: turnout when he's on the ballot, but Sherberty drives Republican turnout. 233 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 6: So if you look at twenty sixteen, Trump ones, GOP 234 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 6: has a trifecta, twenty eighteen Trump's off ballot blue wave, 235 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 6: twenty twenty Republicans Remember, in twenty twenty, Republicans were supposed 236 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 6: to lose the Senate and the House, right, that was 237 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 6: the prediction. No, the only person who lost in twenty 238 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 6: twenty was Trump, right, which is why a lot of people, 239 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 6: myself included, Even if you didn't buy the really kooky 240 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 6: theories of all the Stone election, you did say, well, 241 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 6: how is it that the Senate stay Republican? But somehow 242 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 6: Trump lost Okay, special elections, Trump's not on ballot, Georgia 243 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 6: loses two sentences, twenty twenty two, what happens twenty twenty four? 244 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 7: What happens? 245 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 6: So what the GOP does not exist. It is the 246 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 6: Trump Party, it is Trump's GOP. So even if last 247 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 6: night hadn't happened, I was already worried about the midterms. 248 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 6: I was worried about the midterms the week Trump won, 249 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 6: I was like it, I'm always like the Cassandra. I 250 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 6: tried to be like a Debbie Downer because people who 251 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 6: know me know that I'm a pretty upbeat guy. But 252 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 6: what's our plan to win in twenty twenty six? But 253 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 6: Trump off the ballot? And then of course last night was. 254 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 7: A bad night. 255 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: Okay, Mike, So what is it about the GOP voter 256 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: that is uniquely motivated to vote for Trump? To your point, 257 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: but when Donald Trump's name is not on there, he's 258 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: just not interesting. He cares about these issues when Trump 259 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: is on the ballot, but doesn't when he's not. Helped 260 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: me understand sure. 261 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 6: Actually, I was getting coffee and I was sort of 262 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 6: thinking what we talk about, and I was going to 263 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 6: ask you the question if your job weren't politics and media. 264 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 6: Would you vote in the twenty twenty six mid terms? 265 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: I would, but I vote in every single election because 266 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: I think it batters. I think it's extremely important. Of 267 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: course I would. 268 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 6: But you had a pause. You're just like, it's not like, well, 269 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 6: of course I would. Why wouldn't I Why wouldn't I 270 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 6: be hyped? 271 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: Right? 272 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 7: Trump voters are hyped to vote. 273 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 6: If I said a week before twenty twenty four, you're 274 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 6: gonna vote, You're like, what. 275 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 7: Kind of stupid idiotic? Quite? 276 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 6: Of course, obviously, obviously I'm going to vote, right obviously 277 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty six. It's like, well, intellectually I know 278 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 6: that it's important and there are real problems if I 279 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 6: don't vote, and you run it through your head, but 280 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 6: you don't feel it right, you don't feel in your heart. 281 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 6: And that's everybody for just being honest. It's like, if you, 282 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 6: we're honest, not you. But I'm just saying, like the collective, 283 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 6: the royal wee right, if we're all being honest, we 284 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 6: would say, I mean, yeah, I get it, you gotta 285 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 6: vote Republican because look at what Schumer did. But people 286 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 6: who don't live in politics and media don't go vote 287 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 6: because of that right, they don't go vote because of that. 288 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 6: They need to feel a calling, They need to feel 289 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 6: an energy and a momentum to go out and vote, 290 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 6: and that doesn't. 291 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 7: Happen with Trump down on the ballot. 292 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,959 Speaker 6: So then to be positive, how can Republicans draw out 293 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 6: more voters? 294 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 7: Well, they could do They could. 295 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 6: Do Republican things like I'm seeing right now Ted Kruz, 296 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,719 Speaker 6: who by the way, I'm ninety percent pro Ted Kruz. 297 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 6: When Ted Cruz had a close race with Betto, obviously 298 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 6: I was like, this is crazy. You have to vote 299 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 6: for Ted Cruz and everything. But I'm against this trend 300 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 6: of people and the Senate being podcasters and influencers. Right, 301 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 6: you're in the Senate, I can post about things, Jesse Kelly, 302 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 6: we can be on Twitter all day, you know. And 303 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 6: I know that they have to do some kind of media. 304 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 6: So I'm not saying some media, but we do things 305 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 6: in the Senate that make people want to vote. What's 306 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 6: Mike Johnson really doing? They always have an excuse, Oh, 307 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 6: we need sixty votes, we can't do anything. Ah, But 308 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four, they were gonna have sixty votes 309 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 6: for Annesty because you couldn't close the border without remember that. 310 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 6: This is this is why I'm tired of being gas 311 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 6: lit by Mike Johnson and Ted Cruse and everybody.

They don't see no. 331 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 6: And I'm having people texting me like Chuck roast is 332 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 6: expensive now, which which goes to show what people are 333 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 6: thinking about economically. They're they're not focused on the foreign stuff. 334 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 6: The foreign stuff. This the deal, the deal that was 335 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 6: struck in twenty twenty four that should have been struck 336 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 6: was Hey, look, people like me, I don't care about 337 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 6: is Reel, I don't really get my opinion on Israel 338 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 6: would probably get me canceled because it's pretty it's not 339 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 6: anti Israel. It's probably so pro Israel that it would 340 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 6: make me look like a ghoul. 341 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: You know. 342 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 6: But you got to carry your own weight, you know. 343 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 6: Israel's got to wrap this stuff up. They got to 344 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 6: wrap it up. I'm not here scolding you or doing 345 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 6: the moralizing. This is what war looked like. We've just 346 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 6: never had a live stream. But you can't do propaganda 347 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 6: for the other side every day. You can't give them 348 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 6: more video footage every day. You gotta wrap it up, 349 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 6: and then we gotta go domestic. That was the deal, 350 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 6: stated and unstated, and yet here we are. You're after 351 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 6: Trump's election, and if you asked the average man on 352 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 6: the street, not the DC policy wonk. If you ask 353 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 6: the average man on the street what has Trump's priority 354 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 6: been over the last year, they're gonna say, well, a Ukraine, Israel, 355 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 6: the Nobel Peace Prize. That's what they're gonna say. And 356 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 6: it sounds like that's what your audience is saying. 357 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: To a lot of your audience, it is. I hear 358 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: a lot of it, Mike, And this is what has 359 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: concerned me with the Venezuela stuff. The normal person. I'm 360 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: not talking about the normal comedy who trumps the Devil 361 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: all that stuff, And I'm talking about normal people, the 362 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: people that I talked to in my life that don't 363 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: hang around with political people. When they brought up Venezuela, 364 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: everyone likes a little video on their phone of a 365 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: drug boat getting incinerated. No one's crying for those dirt balls. 366 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: But I got asked a lot, Mike, why why why 367 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: are we down there? Why are we messing with it? 368 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: It's not that it's not a righteous cause. 369 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 2: I got a lot of well why do I care? 370 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of that. 371 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 6: Especially when we know that Fittanel's not coming primarily from Venezuela. 372 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: Right. 373 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 6: It's another instance where yeah, I'm I'm the same way. 374 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 6: I think we shouldn't have gone to the Middle East. 375 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 6: I think that we should have taken over most of 376 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 6: Latin America and Southern America and run as part of 377 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 6: the Roman Empire. That's that's my view. But now people 378 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 6: have no appetite for regime change, war another side quest, 379 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 6: another foreign policy. Okay, we got Ukraine, we have Israel o, 380 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 6: ky fine, can we do domestic issues? 381 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 7: No, we're gonna do regime change. 382 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: We're now. 383 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 6: I know that there's gonna be a lot of people, 384 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 6: myself included, who could counteract my argument by listening everything done. 385 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 7: And my answer to that is, I understand. 386 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 6: That I'm not saying this is my personal belief. I'm 387 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 6: telling you that what we know is not what the 388 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 6: average person and the voters who come out for Trump, 389 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 6: they're not experiencing the same thing because they don't have 390 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 6: all data monitor this stuff. 391 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 7: Right. 392 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 6: You gotta look at people are busy, people got stuff 393 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 6: going on. Times, they're tough, a lot of people are 394 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 6: working two jobs. What information is getting filtered down to them, 395 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 6: and it's almost it's almost nothing. Even though me, I 396 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 6: could I could list off, I could make the case 397 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 6: for why Trump is the best president of my lifetime. 398 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 6: I could do that standing on my head while also 399 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 6: thinking we're gonna lose the mid terms unless we turn 400 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 6: this around. 401 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: Can we turn it around by the midterms, Mike, Can 402 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: we make the necessary adjustments and get the things done 403 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: to get it done? Or is this, you know, fighting 404 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: the ocean? Is it inevitable? 405 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 6: It's not inevitable. We got a year of mondami, so 406 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 6: we got mandami for a year. We got a lot 407 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 6: of things that can go bad for the Democrats over 408 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 6: the next year. Right, A lot can happen any year. 409 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 6: How's the quote go, Nothing happens in a year, and 410 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 6: then year's happened in a decade or decades happened in 411 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 6: a year? Something something like that could happen. But the 412 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 6: Venezuela thy could go sideway. The problem with Venezuela. Even 413 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,719 Speaker 6: though I'm again I'm not opposed to regime change wars, 414 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 6: I'm probably I have a very Roman mindset about a 415 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 6: lot of this stuff. 416 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 7: I just think that if we're gonna go over there, 417 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 7: you have to run it like a colony. 418 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 6: You have to colonize it, which is why people forget 419 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 6: we won. People say, oh, we lost the war in Afghanistan. 420 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 6: It's like the military didn't lose. It was an occupation 421 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 6: because people are afraid to be colonized as so I'm 422 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 6: not some anti colony woke guy, but a lot can 423 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 6: go wrong in the Venezuela thing. 424 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 7: And what can go right? 425 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 6: We already got the oil deal that we need. So 426 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 6: what exactly is the win versus American troops could die? Well, 427 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 6: then we're gonna have to retaliate. Are we going to 428 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 6: be in a hot war with Venezuela? What in the 429 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 6: world right? What's our upside here? That's kind of what 430 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 6: people are seeing. And if Trump doesn't come home, so 431 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 6: to speak, then we are looking at a Democrat midterm win, 432 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,239 Speaker 6: and we are looking at more impeachment and we are 433 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,959 Speaker 6: looking at a. 434 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 7: You know, a repeat of the hell of the Adam 435 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 7: Schiff era. 436 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: Gos Mike as always, thank you, brother, I appreciate you. 437 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: All right. If if Democrats do come back to power, 438 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: what are we in store for? What should we be 439 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: thinking about? What is our motivation to get out there 440 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: and dig in for the midterms? Talk about that briefly 441 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: in a moment before we talk about that. Maybe last 442 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: night you had trouble sleeping. Maybe you stayed up all 443 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,680 Speaker 1: night rage looking at your phone, getting mad about the elections. 444 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,719 Speaker 1: I get it, I've done it. That's why you need 445 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 1: Beam in your life. That's why you need dream powder 446 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: from Beam in your life.

A bunch of 452 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: natural stuff in this dream powder puts you to sleep. 453 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: When you wake up, you're not all groggy with one 454 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: eye half open.

I told you it's not 458 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: the end of the world. Happened last night, and it's 459 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: not my ex Cernaivis just came on here and told 460 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: you that we should be concerned about the midterms. And 461 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: you know what, he's right too, we should be. So 462 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: maybe you're sitting there thinking, oh boy, what do I do? Well, 463 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: allow me to give you just a little bit of motivation. 464 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: It's going to spend a few much give you a 465 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: little bit of motivation. You know how terrible you remember, 466 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: of course, how terrible it was under the Biden administration, 467 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: not just talking about policies, how truly evil the government became. 468 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: These people just turned all the guns of the government 469 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: and aimed them at you, aimed them at me, and 470 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: them at Trump. Just deployed the government against their political opponents. Truly, 471 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: truly you. But I want to remind you of this. 472 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: These people aren't sorry to this day, and I have 473 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: asked for this several times. I have asked for emails, 474 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: I've asked friends. To this day, I have not heard 475 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: of a single Democrat in the United States of America, 476 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: not just people on TV, a single Democrat that has 477 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: expressed that maybe arresting Trump with a bunch of bogus 478 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: felony charges was wrong. Not one has come out and 479 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: said that was probably the wrong thing to do. They're 480 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: not sorry. This is James Comey on MSNBC. 481 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 8: I know Republicans these days aren't big in thinking about 482 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 8: principle or precedent. They're going to be deeply sorry that 483 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 8: that disappears because someday there will be a democratic president 484 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 8: and there'll be investigations of Republican officeholders. If i'm them, 485 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 8: I sure would want these career people in place making 486 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 8: sure that it's done in the right way. Look, I've 487 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 8: long thought that you could shrink the size of some 488 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 8: of the Department of Justice headquarters units. But this is 489 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 8: like burning down the house and then standing in front 490 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 8: of the pile of ashes and saying, yeah, we really 491 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 8: did need to retile the guest path. 492 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: Right. 493 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 8: This is destroying the place at a cost that's going 494 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 8: to take years and years to rebuild. 495 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: They're coming back harder if we give them power again. 496 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: Eric Holder, he's out there on the podcast circuit. Here's 497 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: what he said. 498 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 9: It pains me to say this. I think the Supreme 499 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 9: Court is a broken institution and it's something that has 500 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 9: to be I think a part of the national conversation 501 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 9: in twenty six and in twenty eight what are we 502 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 9: going to do about the Supreme Court? And I think 503 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 9: that we have to think about again talking about the 504 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 9: acquisition and the use of power. If there is a 505 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 9: democratic trifecta in twenty twenty eight, and I think the 506 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 9: possibility of that is pretty good. Supreme Court reform is 507 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 9: something it has to be considered. Term limits, I think 508 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 9: at a minimum, potentially expanding the court is something I 509 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 9: think that also should be should be considered. 510 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: What we saw under the Biden administration was the warm 511 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: up act. Maybe you're recalling four years of evil when 512 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: you're saying to yourself, who can't believe we live through that? 513 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: Thank goodness, that's over. We never have to deal with 514 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: it again. No, no, no, no. The only lesson the 515 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: communists learned from last time is he didn't hit you 516 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: hard enough. The only lesson these people learned is they 517 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: didn't do enough evil things. They didn't shred the constitution enough. 518 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: They didn't jail enough of their political opponents. That's the 519 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: only thing they learned. Last night. We took it on 520 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: the chin. I got that sucked the midterm elections. Maybe 521 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: they'll go our way, maybe they won't, But we have 522 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: starting right now, we have time to begin fighting back 523 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: you personally, me personally. Are we going to get involved? 524 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: Are we going to knock on doors? We're going to 525 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: phone bank for candidates? If we have money, are we 526 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: going to donate to candidates and causes? Are we going 527 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: to do the blocking and tackling necessary to ensure we're 528 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: not wiped out at the midterms. That decision gets made now. 529 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: I know everybody's licking their wounds today. I got it. 530 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: Let's decide now that we're not going to let these 531 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: people ever back in power again. All right, all right, 532 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: when you make that decision, I want you to reward 533 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,239 Speaker 1: yourself with some massive chips. Let's look, you deserve it. 534 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: You deserve a massive Chips reward. But Jesse, I don't 535 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: want to be unhealthy. I like chips too much, but 536 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: they're bad for you. No, no, no, no no. I didn't 537 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: say any chips. I said massive. I know you've already 538 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: heard of them. Maybe you have friends who've already eaten 539 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: a bag. They're freaking amazing and you can eat them 540 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: guilt free. I am such a massive Chips fan because 541 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm a chips freak. And oh the huth chips I've 542 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: ever tried my life have been garbage, massive chips, three ingredients, 543 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: multiple flavors, got blue, ones, hop and narrow. They got 544 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: more than I can list for you. Here, get yourself 545 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: a bag of massive chips, a little bottle of hot sauce, 546 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: massive chips dot com, slash JESSETV. We'll be back, all right. 547 00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: I hate to step away from everybody get in the 548 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: vapors about the election last night. But there are some 549 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: fairly important things happening at the Supreme Court today, and 550 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: as you are well aware, I'm too dumb to tell 551 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: you about any of these. That's why we need Alex 552 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: in here joining me now. Alex Sawyer, author of the 553 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: book Lawless, Law Fair, also with the Washington Times. Okay, Alex, 554 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: before we get to what you heard what you saw today, 555 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: What even is this tariff case? 556 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 10: Okay, good, We need to set this up, all right. 557 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 10: So what the tariff case is basically is some small businesses, 558 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 10: toy makers, a wine distributor. I like wine. Gotta give 559 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 10: them a shout out. They have challenged President Trump's tariffs 560 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 10: that he is imposed on various countries. They say that 561 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 10: the power to lay tariffs and impose those who belongs 562 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 10: to Congress, because Congress is the one that has the 563 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 10: ability to lay and collect taxes. And they're basically saying 564 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 10: that tariffs are a tax. The President, though in his administration, 565 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 10: has cited federal law, basically arguing that he has the 566 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 10: power to in emergency situations impose tariffs on foreign countries 567 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 10: when he sees fit. He is basically two reasons he 568 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 10: has given for this national emergency. One is the flow 569 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 10: of fentanyl. He says that he needs to lay tariffs 570 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 10: on some countries that are pouring fentanyl into our country. 571 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 10: And then the other aspect is the trade deficit. That 572 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 10: that's a problem, you know, of course, that he's trying 573 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 10: to make up. The law he cites is the International 574 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,720 Speaker 10: Emergency Economic Powers Act, and within that law, it basically 575 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 10: does say the president has the ability to regulate imports. 576 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 10: The question is does that include issuing tariffs? And that's 577 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 10: what the Supreme Court is going to decide. 578 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: Okay, Alex. Before we get to what happened today, I'm 579 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 1: going to ask you a couple of really really dumb questions. 580 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: But I need to understand this. Trump says, it's an emergency. 581 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: I got that. Are there rules? Surely there are rules 582 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,479 Speaker 1: around what constitutes an emergency. Right. I can't come home 583 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: and tell my wife where we have to go to 584 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: Red Lobster because it's an emergency. She's going to ask 585 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: for an explanation. What's the emergency? 586 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, so that is one aspect that's being explored in court, 587 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 10: and there's president basically about what would constitute an emergency 588 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 10: or not. When can the court second guess the executive 589 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 10: on what is an emergency? That was something they kind 590 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 10: of dove into, and you would think there would be clear, 591 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 10: bright line rules Jesse like you're asking about, but there 592 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 10: really isn't. That prompted actually, Justice Sonya Soto Mayor to ask, well, 593 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 10: what about climate change? Could President Biden have said climate 594 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 10: change is a is a national emergency. I'm going to 595 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 10: use this same law and start, you know, use it, 596 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,479 Speaker 10: she said, to for example, to forgive student loan debt. 597 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 10: I'm not sure why that is connected to climate change, 598 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 10: but that's what she chose. And then it was just 599 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 10: kind of interesting because even Justice Corsi, you know, obviously 600 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 10: not on the democratic wing of the court, but he 601 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 10: jumped on that same narrative about, well, if the government 602 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 10: were to win here, would climate change be a national 603 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 10: emergency or an emergency that the president and could cite 604 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 10: in imposing tariffs on other countries? Would that now be next? 605 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 10: So yeah, I think that the question that you're asking 606 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 10: is very pointed, and hopefully the court will give a 607 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 10: little bit of guidance on that, but it doesn't seem 608 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 10: like there's a bright line rule about what would be 609 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 10: an emergency and what isn't. 610 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: That's freaking wonderful. Okay, now let's go to what happened today. 611 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: I know you even made for us a cheat sheet 612 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 1: of some kind before it yours. 613 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 10: I'm going to give you a little sneak peak. So 614 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 10: whenever I go in the court, you cannot have electronics, 615 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 10: so you're in there without your computer, your handwriting notes. 616 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 10: These are all my little notes I brought for you 617 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 10: on my little legal pad. It's pink, but I like 618 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 10: to keep track of where the jets might fall, so 619 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 10: you can see I kind of like have their names 620 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 10: kind of listed. So I left you guys really thinking 621 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 10: that the administration had a harder day in court. The 622 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 10: start of the arguments from the Solicitor General were met 623 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 10: with tough questions not just from the Chief Justice, but 624 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 10: also just a scorsicch just to bear it. You know, 625 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,240 Speaker 10: those that we tend to think are the swing justices. 626 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 10: We already know where the three liberals are going to vote. 627 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 10: They're going to vote against the administration. So the fact 628 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 10: that they are there's three. I guess you could call 629 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,320 Speaker 10: them moderates or the GOP appointees that I think could 630 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 10: end up on the liberal side. Tells me that it 631 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 10: was President Trump's administration that had the harder day in court. 632 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 10: I mean, at one point, I even have a quote 633 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 10: the Chief Justice said, he goes the statute doesn't use 634 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,520 Speaker 10: the word tariffs, telling Jackson, Justice Jackson, who we all 635 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,400 Speaker 10: love all the time, to quote. She did actually go 636 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 10: into the legislative history and noted that when Congress was 637 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 10: creating the law the president is citing, they were really 638 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,720 Speaker 10: worried about more property interests and that the president should 639 00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 10: have ability to protect property interests from foreign governments, especially 640 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 10: during a time of war, for example. And she said, 641 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 10: you know, there was no evidence that when Congress was 642 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 10: putting the statute together that they were thinking about tariffs. 643 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 10: So all of this, you know, tells me there seems 644 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 10: to be some between the GOP wing of the court 645 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 10: and the liberal wing that it could be the Trump 646 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 10: administration loses this. I'm not sure they could come up 647 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 10: with a ruling where they somehow split split it up. 648 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 10: I'm not sure if they're able to say, well, some 649 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 10: of these tariffs constitute emergencies, some don't. We'll have to. 650 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: See, Okay, Alex and you can bat this right back 651 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: at me if we don't have the answer to this yet. 652 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: But I understand Trump. Every time we turned on the news, 653 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: he's flying over to some foreign country and signing a 654 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 1: trade agreement here to a trade agreement there. If this 655 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 1: doesn't go our way, which sounds like a possibility, does 656 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: that put all those pieces of paper in the paper 657 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: shredd or does it blow all that? What does this do? 658 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 10: No? I don't think that it would destroy any sort 659 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 10: of new trade deals that the President has been able 660 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 10: to accomplish. And that was one thing the Solicitor General 661 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,240 Speaker 10: pointed out. He said that these tariffs that the president 662 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 10: is imposing to regulate and retaliate basically are helping him 663 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,279 Speaker 10: renegotiate trade deal and he kind of listed a few 664 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 10: different countries off the bat. So no, I don't think 665 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 10: they would go away those trade deals that have been renegotiated. 666 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 10: And I do think the administration has already been looking 667 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 10: at people smarter than me are looking at ways that 668 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 10: they can go around this law and maybe come up 669 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,279 Speaker 10: with another way to support these tariffs. The President has 670 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 10: already done. 671 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 1: Okay, let's shift gears away from this for a moment. 672 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Prop fifty California. Obviously, it was big 673 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 1: in California. It didn't get a ton of national interest. 674 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: This was California jerrymandering out the last of their Republicans. 675 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,720 Speaker 1: Essentially sounds like something that should land before the Supreme Court. 676 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 10: Is it going to I think it could. I think 677 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 10: you're right, and I would love to cover it. So basically, 678 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 10: a Proposition fifty was Gavin Newsom's push to redistrict California, 679 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 10: and voters seem to have supported that and accepted that. 680 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 10: I can get into the numbers why I think that is, 681 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 10: but basically, what it would do is it would force 682 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,439 Speaker 10: Republicans in Congress to lose about four five seats. This 683 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 10: was a push that he, Gavin Newsom, was making after 684 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 10: Texas moved to redistrict. It's kind of like a red 685 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,240 Speaker 10: state blue state war, right, And one of the reasons 686 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 10: I think this was successful was the amount of money 687 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 10: that was poured into the effort, which you know is 688 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 10: kind of how these things work with elections. I saw 689 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,320 Speaker 10: one article that the side advocating for this had about 690 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,240 Speaker 10: one hundred and twenty million to support this proposition, while 691 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 10: those against forty four million, you know, very much outspent, outworked. Now, 692 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 10: you know, Newsom's claiming victory on this, and he's calling 693 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 10: for other Blue states Virginia, Maryland, New York, Illinois to 694 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 10: do the same. So yeah, this wouldn't just have an 695 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,719 Speaker 10: impact for California with less Republican lawmakers representing them, but 696 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 10: it would have an effect you know, nationally with a 697 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 10: shift of balance in Congress. 698 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: Okay, so Red states, can we not match this? Is 699 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: it not in our ability or do we not have 700 00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 1: the will? 701 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 10: So that's something that's very interesting. Texas has tried to 702 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 10: do that, right and it's tied up in court right now. 703 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 10: So when you asked about could California's situation end up 704 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 10: at the Supreme Court, I think it's very likely that 705 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 10: you have Red states trying to do this. Blue state's 706 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 10: trying to do this. Lower courts rule how they will, 707 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 10: and then it eventually works its way up to the 708 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 10: justices and so you know, we'll hear from them exactly 709 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 10: what can be done. I tend to think the Court 710 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 10: would say this is you know, these people are elected 711 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 10: your state wilemakers are elected to do as you know, 712 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 10: they run on. So maybe this is a political question 713 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,640 Speaker 10: that they don't want to dive into. But we'll have 714 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 10: to see. 715 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 1: Tell me about Jack Smith's report. 716 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 10: Okay, So the latest with Jack Smith's report out of 717 00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:43,240 Speaker 10: the Southern District of Florida is basically Judge Eilen Cannon 718 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 10: has been ordered by the Eleventh Circle Circuit Court of 719 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:49,560 Speaker 10: Appeals to consider in the next sixty days motions to 720 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 10: release Jack Smith's report related to his investigation of the 721 00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 10: classified documents being kept at mar Lago. Everyone, I'm sure 722 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 10: remembers that that case was dismissed back when President and 723 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 10: Trump won the election in November. There's DOJ guidance that says, 724 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 10: you know, not to prosecute a sitting president. So that's 725 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,839 Speaker 10: why the Jack Smith petitioned the dj to get right 726 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 10: of the case, and they did. The one thing I 727 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,960 Speaker 10: note in my book though, is that this was dismissed 728 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,240 Speaker 10: without prejudice, which means some of these charges could actually 729 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 10: be resurrected. I think there's some statute of limitations in 730 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 10: the charges that are like eight years. So let's say, 731 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 10: you know, a very very aggressive democratic administration comes in 732 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 10: next they could try to resurrect this case. That's one 733 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 10: reason I don't think the report should be released publicly. 734 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 10: But of course there's First Amendment groups that are trying 735 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 10: to claim that we have as the public, have access 736 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:36,359 Speaker 10: to see Jacksmith's work. 737 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,960 Speaker 1: James call me. Evidence is starting to be released. Yeah, 738 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 1: tell me about this case. Is this something substantial? Did 739 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,279 Speaker 1: you read it in your eyes popped out of your skull? Yeah? 740 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 10: I wish I could read his handwriting a little better, 741 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 10: because I think that would be more helpful. He's kind 742 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 10: of like scrivels a lot, but some a couple of 743 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 10: things that pop out to me. So he's trying to 744 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 10: argue that the DOJ has come after him in basically 745 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 10: a political prosecution, of vindictive prosecution. So I think there's 746 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,200 Speaker 10: actually going to be a hearing on that later this month. 747 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 10: If the I remember reporting on this, I think it 748 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 10: was a November thirteenth. That date sticks out to me. 749 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 10: Don't quote me, but around then. Long story short, this 750 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 10: the US attorney, so Lindsay Halligan, responded to the claim 751 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 10: of a vindictive prosecution and basically included exhibit that show 752 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,360 Speaker 10: that Comy was working with his friend, that law professor 753 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 10: Daniel Richman about leaking to the media, and that's exactly 754 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 10: what he's being charged for, right He's being charged for 755 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,320 Speaker 10: lying to Congress saying that he wasn't part of leaking 756 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 10: to the media when it looks like there's actually emails 757 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 10: showing that he was, or he was at least in 758 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,440 Speaker 10: part doing so. Like okay. For example, Exhibit five shows 759 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 10: that he's talking to his law professor friend about media 760 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,280 Speaker 10: and says that his decision, So I don't know whatever 761 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 10: that decision is, but quote would be one president elect 762 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 10: Clinton would like. So what you know, why is he 763 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 10: making decisions thinking a president elect Clinton would like it? 764 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 10: The other thing, Exhibit seven shows him praising his friend's 765 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,240 Speaker 10: media appearance, and then he also says in the email 766 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 10: quote well done, my friend, who knew this would be 767 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 10: oh so fun? And then lastly, there's another one that 768 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 10: my friend Mike Davis shared Exhibit thirteen. There's seems to 769 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 10: be handwritten notes which are kind of hard to you 770 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 10: can see him right there on the screen, hard to 771 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 10: kind of zoom in on, but there's one line in 772 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,480 Speaker 10: there that says, HRC plan for hit Trump. That's what 773 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,520 Speaker 10: I read. So why is he worried about Hillary rod 774 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 10: and Clinton's plan to hit Trump. It just seems extremely political. 775 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,200 Speaker 10: It does show he was in on, you know, his 776 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 10: friend's media appearances for whatever that might be. In one 777 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,080 Speaker 10: of the emails, the friend actually offers, I think to 778 00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,800 Speaker 10: write an op ed or do some sort of defense 779 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,919 Speaker 10: of Comy and the FBI. And it looks like Comy says, well, 780 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 10: you know, not right now, but that at least shows 781 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 10: that he's being you know, asked. Maybe this was a practice. 782 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,120 Speaker 10: We'll have to wait and see more when this hearing happens, 783 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,760 Speaker 10: but you know, it looks like this US attorney definitely 784 00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 10: came armed with evidence. 785 00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 1: Oh so fun. Kind of a dude talks like that. 786 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,840 Speaker 1: That's how women talk. It's very weird. Anyway, Thank you 787 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: so much, Alex. I appreciate you. Lighten the mood next, 788 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,879 Speaker 1: all right, it is time to lighten the mood. And look, 789 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 1: some kids are just cool. That certainly wasn't me. Some kids, 790 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: some kids make you jealous about what a dork you 791 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: were when you're a kid. Look at this stud on 792 00:45:37,760 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: Halloween night. It's gotta throw in reverse. What is the 793 00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 1: let's see him up? 794 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 7: Mm hmmm, m 795 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,279 Speaker 1: M h m hmm.
