That's a threat. That's 30 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: a threat of war. Okay. That's like someone walking up 31 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: to you while you're waiting in line to go to 32 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: see a movie and saying, you know, what the funk 33 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: are you looking at?

Okay, it makes me 37 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: feel unsafe. Like I said, I get angry. Articulate my anger, okay, 38 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: but it's just coming from a place of fear. It's 39 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: just coming from a place of fear. I don't care 40 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: if you're Democrat.

The President of the 42 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: United States is supposed to make the people of the 43 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: United States feel safe.

When it comes 166 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: down to it, I think this was meant to be 167 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: a distraction from you know, the book release up and 168 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: the quotes from Bannon. UM. But then they also you know, 169 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 1: when he talks about a nuclear button, nobody, not one 170 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: of his advisors would have said that's a good idea. UM. 171 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: So this is something that definitely was written by him. 172 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: I can tell you that it's it's uh troubling because 173 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: he thinks, you know, he thinks he can get away 174 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: with it and and not be held accountable. And it 175 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: seems like the Republicans in Congress are just gonna sit 176 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: there and they really there's been no response for the 177 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: most part today, UM, for many Republican member of Congress 178 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: and every single Democrats outrage because it's endangering American lives. 179 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: And so think about you know, when he talks about 180 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: attacking intel officers and all this, like most of those 181 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: people are in the military. Most of those people in 182 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: the army, the Air Force, Like we have intelligence services 183 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: through our military. And so when he's attacking those and 184 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: then if you go to the FBI, d O J, 185 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: a lot of those people are officials, former police officers, 186 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: people that are law enforcement officers that he acts like 187 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 1: he's friends with. And really it's seems like he's a criminal. 188 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: Who's there, who's their enemy? Anyways? Um, it's he's gone 189 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: off the deep end. And from from mysources, from the 190 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: from the Wit House cemeguards to what's happened today, Um, 191 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, in the last twenty four hours, I guess 192 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: he got questions about this this book that's coming out 193 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: where Bannon says Don Junior is a trader um order, 194 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: said that he committed treason. And then he also said that, uh, 195 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump Senior actually was introduced to the people in 196 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: the July Russian lawyer meeting, which would have involved him 197 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: and implicate him, you know before, which means he's knowledgeable 198 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: at that point, which means everything else he said beyond 199 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: that of not knowing about Russia would would be discounted. 200 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of different bond shells in this, 201 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: and I think he kind uh felt the anxiety if 202 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't know what's going to happen next, He doesn't 203 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen all probe, he doesn't know what 204 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna do in regards to the resistance. He doesn't know, um, 205 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: what a lot of things are going to happen. And 206 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: and the problem is he's also out numbered at this point, 207 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: um sadly not in Congress though, And just clarify, the 208 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: book isn't written by Steve Bannon. Uh So, so give 209 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: the context of who wrote the book and who this 210 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: person is in relation to Steve Bannon, and what the accuracy. 211 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: It's not like a tabloid book, right right, No, it's nonpartisan, 212 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's sourced in in regards to 213 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: everything has been verified, um, in regards to what's been said. 214 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: And so he must have you know, recordings the conversations 215 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: between um, these people and him, or have taken you know, 216 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: very clear notes in regards to you know, their meetings 217 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: with him, because he's actually speaking to a lot of 218 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: these people one on one and they're giving their impression 219 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: of Trump, um, you know, off the cuff, and a 220 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: lot of people are talking very openly, um, you know, 221 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: like Rupert Murdoch calling him an f and idiot after 222 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: he took a he was gonna consider taking a liberal 223 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: stance on immigration, um, and that didn't happen obviously, But uh, 224 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: you know, there's it just seems like a meltdown. You know, 225 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: they're trying to juggle too many balls and it's really 226 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: not gonna work out for him because it's just gonna 227 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: crash down. You know, he spent all his political points 228 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: and I don't I don't really think since it's an 229 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: election year, I don't think a lot of Republicans are 230 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: gonna stick with them. At the very least, they're gonna 231 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: distance themselves from him. Um. To people who are not 232 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: in trouble now that it's a lackeys, people that want 233 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: to run state wide, they'll tack Mueller and they'll do 234 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But you know, now there's elected Republicans 235 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: who are like, way a second, I think I think 236 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: Trump might be lying, and it's like taking them this 237 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: long to figure that out. Um. So you know, it's 238 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: it's all just a bunch of a bunch of games. 239 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: And that's that's the ideas. You want to check your 240 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: phone in the morning when when you get um, you 241 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: see one of his tweets and you know he wants 242 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: to point you in this direction when really we should 243 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: be looking in the other direction. Um, and you know 244 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: that's gas lighting. So he he definitely does a lot 245 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: of things intentionally, and that's that makes it kind of 246 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: kind of worse. And like it's not like intend to 247 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: distract by endangering the lives of the Americans more. You know, 248 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: maybe he provokes a missile launch in North Korea and 249 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: they you know, they misfire and it does hit people, 250 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: it does hit popular you know what I mean, Like 251 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: who knows if they can actually control it. So there's 252 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: a lot of scary different things because once once something 253 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: goes down, I mean, there's no turning back with a 254 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: lot of other countries. And at this point, he's done 255 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: more damage, uh than than any president in his through 256 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: this country. Um, from what I've what I've seen, and 257 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: it's just I have a lot of it's gonna take years, um, 258 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: if not, you know, more than a decade to build 259 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: it back up and build our trust back up because 260 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: when you don't when you don't trust your intel officers. 261 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: That means you remember around nine eleven when everybody said, 262 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: oh what, we weren't on the same page A d 263 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: O J. Like everybody was on the same page. We 264 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: all had snippets and we knew it. But if you 265 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: put it all together then we would have been fine. 266 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: So they wanted to to sink everything. But now if 267 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: you're not getting intelligence from other countries because they don't 268 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: trust us, we're gonna miss out on information that makes us, 269 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, in a more dangerous spot. So you should 270 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: feel unsafe. And that's that's that's definitely natural. And in 271 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: this setting, this is not normal. And anybody who finished 272 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: gives you a thumbs up, they're either in on it 273 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: or just a moron. I didn't even think about that 274 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: in regard to that that tweet about the nuclear his 275 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: button and all that stuff. But I guess he probably, 276 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: you know, he gets the information that that that story 277 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: was coming out about the book. Um, and you know 278 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: that that unsafe feeling I just think is not fairing, 279 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, listen, I wouldnt even call myself 280 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 1: a novice person of having a novice understanding of politics. 281 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: I just go on my feelings and my guts and 282 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: just like you know, right and wrong. Um, you know, 283 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: one of the questions I wanted to ask you was, 284 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: you know, we have Republicans Democrats, you know, and I 285 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: feel like people have drawn hard lines in the sand. 286 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: You're either a Republican and you're with Trump, or you're 287 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: a snowflake fucking you know, Democrat and you're not with Trump. 288 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: And somehow or another, the Republicans have given off this 289 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: impression that they're the tough, you know, ones that care 290 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: about this country, and we the Democrats, are the snowflakes 291 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: liberals and and and and every single Republican is the same, 292 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: and every single Democrat is the same, and and it's not. 293 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: That's never the case, Like none of us are the 294 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: same as Democrats, none of us are the same as Republicans. 295 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: Will there ever be more choices or like sort of 296 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: like I like a little bit of this, or I 297 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: like a little bit of that. It's like as if 298 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: the whole world only existed in basketball, Like there's either 299 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 1: you're a Laker fan or you're a Knicks fan. And 300 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: what about the rest of us, you know, like maybe 301 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: you're Utah Jazz fan or maybe some people like Chicago bulls, 302 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: Like is there ever gonna be like where it's not 303 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: just so hardline, you know, one or the other. I 304 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: think when you know, when there's substantive evidence that comes 305 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: out against Trump, his family and the rest of his 306 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: his people, I think that the country will actually unite 307 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: against him. For the most part. There will be stragglers. 308 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: There will be a Republicans who go down with the 309 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: ship no matter what. Um. And there's gonna be just 310 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: a ton of people retiring obviously, so they'll lead to 311 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: run run new campaigns. But that's right now, um. You know, 312 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: the division has become Republicans holding into their far far 313 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: right corner and Democrats moving into the overall aspect of 314 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: let's save some people's lives, Like what's wrong with what's 315 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: wrong with making sure kids have health? Characters? They don't 316 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: make other kids sick, so they don't make me sick, 317 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like what why aren't you 318 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: gonna take care of Americans? Why are you going to 319 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: take their medicare and soose security that they paid money 320 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: for for decades so that they could retire in peace 321 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: and be able to pay their rent, not get kicked 322 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: out of their house or whatever. You know. I mean, 323 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: like there's reasons for everything, and all they're doing is 324 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: cutting and cutting and cutting to the point where it's 325 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: like why are we paying taxes? Like what are we 326 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: paying them for? It's so that this guy can go 327 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: and spend one third of his presidency a hundred and 328 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: twenty million dollars in counting on the golf course and 329 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: at his own spots, and not a real million dollars 330 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: and like the travel and the security. Yeah, so it 331 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: was ninety one million dollars before his Christmas trip and 332 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: after that the cost around thirty million dollars. And this 333 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: is what we know was this is what we're sure of, 334 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: which means that you know, it could be double for 335 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: all we know, but based on the information we have, 336 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: it's up to a d twenty million dollars, which is 337 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 1: more than Obama spent in his entire presidency, all the 338 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: years UM. And and that's you know, I think he 339 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: spent a hundred eleven million dollars and he's criticized for 340 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: every time he's spent in UM. But you know, Trump 341 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: not only is making he's going down to things about 342 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: the like this, he's going down to his own property, right, 343 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: and so a lot of the expenses are going through 344 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: his property. So he's making money off the tax not 345 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: only a tax verification, he's also making money off that 346 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: tax money himself of his property. And then also you know, 347 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: there's gonna gonna be other expenses, those staffers that stay there. Um. 348 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: And then he's making money because it's fully booked when 349 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: he's down there, because people want to meet with him, 350 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,719 Speaker 1: and you if you're not staying at mar Lago, you're 351 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: not gonna get a meeting with him. Um. So I mean, 352 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: that's that's the thing that's just been that that's corruption, 353 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: and that's what that's what it is. This is not, 354 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, a third world country, but he's running it 355 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: like one. And and you know, there's very few things 356 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: that we can do except for, you know, replace it 357 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: with with Democrats to even the balance. And I don't 358 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: think that there's gonna be I think there will be 359 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: an awakening in regards to Americans realizing, um, you know, 360 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: a vast majority of Americans realizing that this guy is 361 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: gonna bring this country down and they're not gonna stan 362 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: for it anymore. I think that will show at the pole, Um, 363 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: Republicans will definitely turn around very quickly, will turn on 364 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: turn on Trump very quickly. UM. Probably half of them 365 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: or so in the next few months because they have 366 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: an election coming up and he's pulling too low. UM, 367 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: a lot of them. You know. I don't. I'm never 368 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: going to forget who stood by him. I'm not never 369 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: forget how they killed one of you know, members of 370 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: the resistance, UM, and two cops died that day in Charlottesville. 371 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: I take that personally. I remind him every chance I get. 372 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: You know that Heather Higher is her name, because he 373 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: couldn't remember her name. Um, you know. And then the troops, 374 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: you know that he that came home and he didn't 375 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: even call them. Uh. And then he tried to accuse 376 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 1: Obama never calling them. And you know, one of the 377 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: first things he did was visiting the air base where 378 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: they actually were landing, and he was there. UM. And 379 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: so it's it's just like, why compare, It doesn't matter. 380 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: Why talk about Hillary. She doesn't, She's not relevant. It 381 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: makes no sense. She doesn't. It doesn't make any sense. 382 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: They just want it's all for like distract here, distract here, 383 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: distract here. But now they've kind of outplayed their balance, 384 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: like we let him use the word collusion, like when 385 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: we've let him use that old last year because we 386 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: knew that we don't need to have the talk about 387 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: the difference between collusion and conspiracy. So, uh, under antitrust cases, 388 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: you can be charged with collusion like colluding with let's 389 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: say a bank or you know, in regards to the 390 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: stock market. Um, in regards to this sort of case 391 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: that Mueller has, there are no criminal charges that can 392 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: be made that our collusion, um it would be conspiracy 393 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: against the United States, obstruction justice, something on those lines. 394 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: So it's a Trump talking point in a trap, and 395 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: it's one of the many things where he's like, let's 396 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: talk about collusion, But that's basically like saying, let's talk 397 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: about something where you're acting like it's a crime that 398 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: you can debate about, but in the end game, you 399 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: can't actually be charged with it. So what are we 400 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: really talking about? If we're talking about conspiracy? It so 401 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: much simpler in regards to how he can be implicated, 402 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,959 Speaker 1: and you'll see that flip on its head. But it's 403 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: a lot of this all Russian tactics, all of this 404 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: stuff with the fake news he even just admitted that 405 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: Steve Bannon in his response to Steve Bannon, he admitted 406 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: that Steve Bannon leaked out fake news to the media 407 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: in his statement in response trying to attack him. But 408 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: what he isn't realized is that he's accountable for everything 409 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 1: that happens in that White House. So I I don't 410 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what's going to happen next. 411 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: I just know, being I've lived in DC for over 412 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: twelve years now, I've never seen Republicans this stressed. I've 413 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 1: never I've never seen them actually want to come and 414 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: meet with me and talk to me until now. Um, 415 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: it's it's been years, yeah, to be honest, like five 416 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: years since really you know, Republicans were even going to 417 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: sit down. And even now I don't trust them. So 418 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: I sit down and I listen. I don't you know, 419 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: and I assume that it's a trap or and and 420 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: so what this has happened. What's happened here is I 421 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: think this woke up America to a level we needed 422 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: to be at, you know, ten years ago. And in 423 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: this this assault, these acts of war that Russia is 424 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: committing against the United States, we will look back on it. Uh, 425 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: and it will be you know, considered in our minds 426 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: as treason. But this is, this is more serious than 427 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: just hacking some emails on the internet. These are people 428 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: who can turn off our power. These are people who 429 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: can damage our water supply. These are people who can 430 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, turn off the power in the airport, you 431 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,239 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like this is this is not 432 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: a laughing matter like these are not only that Dave 433 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: attacked American civilians like myself trying to use uh because 434 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: it's cyber operations, Um, you know, by threats. I received 435 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: thousands of that's last year. Absolutely, I think I was 436 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: second to Hillary Twitter phone. They don't nobody has my 437 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: phone number, but uh, it's I'll get it via Twitter, email, 438 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: via friends, which is the worst. Um. I've gotten them 439 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: via family, which is the toughest. Um. But everyone is 440 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: on the same page. They're so resolute. At first it 441 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: was tough, like in April of last year. Um, the 442 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: Russian embassy in the UK. So not a tweet saying 443 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: thanks to funder, which is my hand over, So thanks 444 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: to Scott for keeping Trump as Putin's puppet or calling 445 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: Trump Putin tuppets something along those lines. With a creepy 446 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: Leo DiCaprio cheers in from the Great gats be mean 447 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: below it. It really, you know, it was mind bottling, 448 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: and people said that's a threat, we need to go 449 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: and I was like, what are you talking about? And 450 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: but that's intended. And what happened was instead of them 451 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: scaring me away from it, I knew. I knew I 452 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: was onto something. And that's what it always happens, is 453 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: whenever the tax rise up, like that's when it really happened. 454 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 1: Because all I knew was in the unit. I knew 455 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: that there was a possibility that Hillary will lose, and 456 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: I woke up like Trump could become the president. So 457 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: we started fighting back against all these attacks. And I 458 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: just googled Trump and Cyrilla versus be a business directory, uh, 459 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: and it came up with different information. I was able 460 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: to uncover pictures and video of them in Russia doing business, 461 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: different contracts, and um, this started, you know, turning into 462 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: a big, bigger kind of scandal than we rolled in 463 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: the January of last year and we were going in inauguration. 464 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: I was up, you know, if you were wondering, I 465 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: wonder if anyone's up right now, trying to make sure 466 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: that this UH inauguration doesn't happen based on evidence against Trump. 467 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,479 Speaker 1: I was that guy, you know what I mean, like 468 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: one of the many, but you know it, really this 469 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: is something where I've devoted my life too, because I 470 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: love this country. I love what it stands for, UH, 471 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: and I don't like where it's at. And I'll tell 472 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: you what. We are not dooomed thanks to you know, 473 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: Americans standing up. And I don't think there's anything that's 474 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: going to prevent them from turning out in numbers beyond 475 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: presidential years in this in the fall. And I don't 476 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: think that Republicans are going to be able to match 477 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: it on any level. I would assume that they lose 478 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: fifty five seats. I think we lost seventy. You know 479 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: when the healthcare it was the eight months after the 480 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: health care bill or something like that. Six months after 481 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: healthcare bill. So we've got this tax bill now I 482 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: can wave around for the next ten months and they're 483 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to explain themselves and they can't. Why did 484 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: you take thirteen millions? Uh? Why do you take healthcare 485 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: of from thirteen million people? You know? Why aren't you 486 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: doing anything for dreamers. What are you doing to fund 487 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: the children's healthcare? You can't even fund the government, you 488 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like you've funded it through January 489 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: as of right now, or even January twins, Um, And 490 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: it's just like, what are you doing to fight Trump? 491 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: And a lot of these things. They're not gonna be 492 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 1: able to confront these problems. You know, why were you 493 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: silent on Trump? Imagine a debate between a congressman and 494 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: someone who's challenging him, and the questions they'll be asked, 495 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: like why do you still support Trump? Like they're gonna 496 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: be cornered and they're gonna look sleazy because they are, 497 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: and they're gonna look like liars because they are. And 498 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, justice takes time. 499 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: Criminals can lash out make a tax quickly, uh, and 500 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: we have to temper our response and sometimes not respond 501 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: at all. And that leads us into a situation where 502 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: they repeat things over and over. But you see no 503 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: response from Mueller because again, uh, it's a very complex process. 504 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: But I think it's coming to the end, Um, and 505 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: I and I really believe that, you know, Mueller is 506 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: gonna throw out some indictments and by the end of 507 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: this all, a lot of these people are gonna end 508 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: up in jail. Most of them, We'll end up in 509 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: jail for helping to cover it up and or for 510 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: clients that were committed while in the White House that 511 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with Russia. Wow. I mean, this 512 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: is like it's it's so much to absorb um, and 513 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,719 Speaker 1: it's so much to process um for all of us. 514 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: And and I imagine even somebody like you that's like, 515 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: you know, like you said, it was dedicated your life 516 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: to this um. And I feel like, whether it's fake news, 517 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: real news, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, you know, everything is 518 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: so distorted, like the Russia, the Russias, uh, you know investigation, 519 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: which you know you helped uncover. You know. I feel 520 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: like at first it was like, oh, Russia, Russia, It's 521 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: gonna get him. And now it's become sort of every 522 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: day part of our vernacular, and that we hear about 523 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: it all the time. We're getting desensitized to it now. 524 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: I know you're not a fortune teller, Scott, you know, 525 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to put you on this spot, but 526 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: in regards to Russia and specifically, is that going to 527 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: be the thing that that that really takes down this administration. Yeah, 528 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, I will. I'm debating still whether it's the 529 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: Me Too movement and it will be women and his 530 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: twenty victims of sexual assault, or if it will be Russia. 531 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: It looks like it's gonna be Russia because he really 532 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: you're not going to make a deal with Flynn unless 533 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: he's flipping on Trump. You're not gonna make a deal 534 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: with Papadopolis unless he's got juicy enough stuff to throw 535 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: on Trump. Um. I really think that this is gonna 536 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: do far more than just bring him down. I think 537 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: this will bring him down so good. Um. I don't 538 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: think that he'll ever spend time in prison. I guess 539 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: he would. It would be sentenced the house arrest or 540 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: something like that. He'd act like he was mentally incompetent 541 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: or something, you know, legally he would get out of it. Um, 542 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: but I don't think that he'll He'll be in in 543 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: an office for another maybe three months. I guess as 544 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: he'll be presented with a docket that or or you know, 545 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: a binder that says, here's the route that we can go, 546 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: here's a route for your resignation. Um, and here's the 547 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: route if you don't resign. Uh. And I don't know 548 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: exactly how legally that happens. Um, I don't know, you 549 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: know the background from it. But once they have enough information, 550 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,239 Speaker 1: if they're planning to indicte um, I think that at 551 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: that point they can come up with some sort of 552 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: deal that includes his resignation and and and as crazy 553 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: as some people may think that he'll never resign, he 554 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: goes out pretty easily. UM. His past business deals he's been, 555 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: he's he's kind of signed himself off. Once he bankrupts 556 00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: everything and makes his money. UM, he usually is like, Okay, 557 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: I can go now. So I wouldn't be surprised if 558 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: he was like, I can do more from the outside. 559 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm resigning like and and you know, and then he 560 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: just goes and retires and Mara lago um. But with 561 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: that will not get you know, his son, his son 562 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: in law, his daughter, um Avanca and and others off 563 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: the hook for working with Russia. And remember it can 564 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: be as simple as me finding out right, if I'm 565 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: on the Trump campaign, I find out that Russians have 566 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: been in contact I have, and and if I did 567 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: not report that to federal authorities, you're then breaking the 568 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: law so they doesn't have to be where they went 569 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: in a back room, they planned stuff out and they 570 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 1: went from there. Even if you just allowed stuff to happen, right, 571 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: that's that's that's illegal, that's a felon. It'st jail time, 572 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: and this is not These are not laughing matters. People 573 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: have died over this. And then these are people that 574 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: not just intelligence officers or people in Russia. I think 575 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: there's been like fifteen people that have miraculous and seriously 576 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: died involving this dossier. UM. But at the end of 577 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: the day, UM, I don't think that they I don't 578 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 1: think that they ever expected us to push back so 579 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: hard because because remember it was it was noon as 580 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: canceled a Congressman from California canceled Yates and Clapper hearings 581 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: of the former UMS system turn in General and UM, 582 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: when they canceled those hearings in March, I think it 583 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: was UM, that was right after Flynn had been fired. UM, 584 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: and we went on. I think Colmy got fired shortly 585 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: after that. UM. But anyways, we we went on and 586 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: we pushed like well. Sessions led the transition team he 587 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: met with Russians during the campaign, uh, you know, and 588 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: after he obviously after as well, but he is so 589 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 1: how can he help the investigations? So then he hands 590 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: it off to Rod Rosenstein. Rod Rosenstein we then find 591 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: out was involved with Jim Comby's firing. So then we 592 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: pushed Congress too and and be a public pressure to 593 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,839 Speaker 1: have Rosenstein bow out. And I think that only took 594 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: a day. And that's when I don't know if Sessions 595 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: was involved or not. That's when they appointed Bob Mueller. 596 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's when Trump lost it because he 597 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: knew that if one man in the world could get 598 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: him for all this, uh, it would be it would 599 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: be Bob Mueller. Um. And I just think that the 600 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: time is taking for a lot of these people, and 601 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: you'll see a lot of surprises in regards to how 602 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,759 Speaker 1: deep some of these people are and how a lot 603 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: of people haven't been mentioned yet, specifically Rudy Giuliani, Ivanka Trump, um. 604 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: And obviously Donald is going to be the key player. 605 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if he ordered nice at all. But again, 606 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you worked with the Russians. If 607 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: you allowed it to have, you're gone. That's it. Keep 608 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: it simple, you know, So I think we're in a 609 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,959 Speaker 1: good spot to move the story forward. And once there's 610 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,880 Speaker 1: substantive evidence beyond this guy said that, um, you know, 611 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 1: some paperwork. Once they have audio tapes or video tapes, 612 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, proving X, Y and Z, they're gonna play 613 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: that like its Hillary's emails, you know, and then I 614 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: just don't see anybody being able to survive that, even Trump. Now. 615 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: In regards to the Me Too movement and the sexual 616 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,040 Speaker 1: assault claims against Donald Trump, you know, they seemed to 617 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, when he was running, you know, during the campaign, 618 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: it was talked about, then he got elected, then it 619 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: went away, and then in the last you know, four 620 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 1: or five weeks, you know, the women have come forward. 621 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,800 Speaker 1: Why do you think it's not getting any more media coverage? 622 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: And could there actually be an indictment on those sexual 623 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: assault claims against him? A lot of those women were 624 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,400 Speaker 1: issued credible threats, I'm sure, and a constant beyond what 625 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: I've even Diversitian government, you know by you know, Nazis, 626 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: but credible threats, you know, like I'm gonna go, you know, 627 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: attack your house or your family. Um, but descriptors and 628 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 1: like pictures from being outside and things like that. Um 629 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: outside of their home. That is, I don't there there 630 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: won't be any criminal part of this, Like he won't 631 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: get charged with anything at any point in regards to 632 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,800 Speaker 1: sexual assault unless there were to be UM, you know, 633 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: an accuser that has evidence and will present that. UM. 634 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: A lot of these people it was you know, groping 635 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: or UM, you know, doing things one on one and 636 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 1: it was you know, either years ago, ten years ago, 637 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: thirty years ago. But you know when you watch, when 638 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: you watch these women, you know they're they're telling the truth. 639 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: They're not making it up, and you can I I 640 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: don't understand why. I mean, I know why Republicans act 641 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: like they don't know that he is any sexual assault 642 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,760 Speaker 1: claims against him. I just don't know why they're allowed 643 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: to get away with not paying attention to it. UM. 644 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: And that's what we're working on because the second that 645 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: more than one Republican says that they they should be heard, uh, 646 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,280 Speaker 1: it's that that could be ballgame for Trump too, because 647 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: any sort of outside person, you know, Nicky Hayley, un ambassador, 648 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 1: she said they should be heard, and he was off 649 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: the cuff and she tried to retract it and it 650 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 1: was unsuccessful, and she was able to you know, they 651 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:48,680 Speaker 1: threw that out there. But it's one of so many 652 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: things that he's doing. It's hard to just focus on, 653 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: you know, one salacious thing after another. Even Dannon, and 654 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: this is the worst part. Dannon brought up the he 655 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 1: was alleged, Uh, a woman accused Trump of raping her 656 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: when she was thirteen years old. Um. And it was 657 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: very clear that you know, it was a court case 658 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: that it was civil so it was not criminal. Um, 659 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: but it was moving forward where the judge thought it 660 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 1: was credible enough to do so. And then I think 661 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: after some kind of death threats or something along those lines, Um, 662 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,360 Speaker 1: she then withdrew the case. But you know, all of 663 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 1: these people can't be liars. And and that's that's the 664 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: thing is if we're going to examine Frank, you know, 665 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 1: and and Ki came out of the Senate, we definitely 666 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: mean the brid of Trump because at the end of 667 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: the day, there is no justice without him being able 668 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: to be accountable for all of his previous actions because 669 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: it does make him unqualified to be president. And um, 670 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: and that in the fact that he's assaulted this many women, right, 671 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: it's crazy. The tax reform now me personally I benefit 672 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,360 Speaker 1: from what I've gathered from my accountant and my financial advisor. 673 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: I benefit from this tax reform. That means shipped to me. 674 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: I could care less. I could seriously care less. It 675 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 1: means nothing to me. I'm trying to figure out how 676 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 1: I should deal with that personally. Ship. Should I spend it, 677 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: should I donate it? I don't know, But could you 678 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: the best you can, Like, if you're talking to a slow, 679 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 1: seventh grade version of myself, can you explain the basic 680 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,080 Speaker 1: sort of concept of this tax reform and why unless 681 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: you're a very rich person and I'm not very rich, 682 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 1: but but I happen to be doing well right now, 683 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: unless you're you know, like like sort of elite money wise, 684 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 1: why the tax reform is a bunch of garbage and 685 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,760 Speaker 1: bull crap. And even the staunchest Trump supporter who who's 686 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: not a millionaire should be offended and upset and concerned 687 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: about this tax reform. Sure, so they have a bill, um, 688 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: and what they did with the bill is they took 689 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 1: instead of giving money to people who need it, which 690 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,320 Speaker 1: would be poor people, disabled and whatnot, they're trying to 691 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: reallocate that money to rich people with this trickle down 692 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,880 Speaker 1: theory where it's like, you know, us the rich people 693 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: to employ more people. They're gonna give bonuses and we'll 694 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: give benefits to corporations instead of the worker. UM. You know, 695 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: it's very in the simplest terms, UM to pay for that. 696 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 1: To pay for these these big tax cuts, they then 697 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: rolled in over a period of a decade, taking away 698 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 1: the healthcare of thirteen million Americans um that currently have it, 699 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: and in in addition to UM, taking from mediaian social 700 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,399 Speaker 1: Security UM in order to pay for it. So they're 701 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: basically taking this tax plan and yeah, they're simplifying the 702 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: tax code, UM, but in the end, all Americans are 703 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: gonna pay more. Uh. Not only that, it drives up 704 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: at one point five trillion dollar deficits. So in the 705 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: most basic of terms, UM, they came up with a 706 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,399 Speaker 1: tax plan and instead of what they're what they're doing 707 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: is instead of giving all the money to the you know, 708 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,959 Speaker 1: to a lot of people that are poor, they're giving 709 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 1: it to very few people that are rich. It's trust them, 710 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: they'll they'll you know, they'll do it, and they kind 711 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 1: of roll their eyes the right and that's what that's 712 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 1: what happens every time. I don't ever see a rich 713 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: guy who's like, I made more money, I need to 714 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 1: employ more people. Immediately, how it works, They put it 715 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: in their coffers and you know by a new Lamborghini 716 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: like that that I've seen it. So it's just the 717 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: part that makes the scam is they made deals that 718 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: even contradict each other. Um with almost every senator, um 719 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 1: that's a Republican where they got a personal benefit or 720 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 1: a family member got a personal benefit, or they accomplished 721 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: something via the bill, you know, like drilling in the 722 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,800 Speaker 1: Arctic for Makowski. Um, you know, and and that's just 723 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: that's just again, that's that's corruption. But um, as as 724 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 1: simple as it can make it. You know, they they 725 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 1: had basically a piece of crap, right, and so you 726 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,399 Speaker 1: take this piece of paper and you shove it through. 727 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 1: You're like, don't worry about what's in it, Like, forget 728 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 1: about that. Let's just get it through and then we 729 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 1: can work out the kinks. Move on the next level. 730 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: You go to the Senate and it's like, oh, you 731 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: gotta write something, you know, and so how can we 732 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,000 Speaker 1: take the money from a poor and put it in 733 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: the richest you know, people's hands. And uh, they did 734 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 1: that by by passing this bill. I do not believe 735 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: that this will be um, you know, into this bill 736 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: will be a big flop, uh you know, and I 737 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,759 Speaker 1: think that they'll have to One of the first things 738 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 1: Democrats would do is um. I don't know if for 739 00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,520 Speaker 1: peel would be the word um, but they would. They 740 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 1: would have to get rid of it um. And I 741 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 1: think they get enough Republican votes to do that. But yeah, 742 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: it's it's really it just is a long, extensive scam 743 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:26,240 Speaker 1: that is meant to simplify taxes. Well, I would screwing 744 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: you out of more money. So it's like, even though 745 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 1: you can do it maybe on a post card, you know, 746 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,279 Speaker 1: people who need that extra thousand bucks aren't going to 747 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 1: get it. Um. And in the long run, everyone loses because, um, 748 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: if you can't live well, right, if you can't be 749 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: healthy and you're not living, and if you can't enable 750 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: society for us to be able to take care of 751 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 1: each other, work, the hell are we doing? So it's 752 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,320 Speaker 1: it's just it's just a big it's a long scam 753 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 1: that I can't say it enough that people are going 754 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 1: to go to jail for this bill. There's gonna be 755 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,759 Speaker 1: people who it's kind of like abram Off, like the 756 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 1: old lobbyist back in the day. And there's too many 757 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 1: deals that were made in the back room. Lobbyists actually 758 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,399 Speaker 1: wrote words very illegal. Um, it's it's not not good 759 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 1: for America. So I think that you know, a lot 760 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 1: of these sloodiest things are gonna be They're gonna have 761 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,359 Speaker 1: to clean up the bill. Um. And at the end 762 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:26,240 Speaker 1: of the day, you know, I'm guessing Democrats will eventually 763 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 1: take control, um and overhaul the taxes. And here's here's 764 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,120 Speaker 1: the great news. The great news out of all of this. 765 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 1: Every single thing that Republicans are doing that's right wing, 766 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: batshit crazy, right. Every single thing that they're doing opens 767 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: up the door for us to instead of saying, well, 768 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: you know, well we're gonna give healthcare to more people, 769 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 1: like they say, well we're gonna take it from thirteen million, 770 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: and we're like, well, we're gonna give it to all. 771 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna give to everybody. So we're able to take 772 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,879 Speaker 1: a more what you'd say, liberal stance on almost every 773 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 1: him because they're taking this far right position and you know, 774 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:09,280 Speaker 1: they're outnumbered in every in every way. People with Dreamers, 775 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 1: we want them to stay. They play these games where 776 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: they act like they care. They don't care about you, 777 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,719 Speaker 1: they don't care about me, They don't care about any 778 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: of us, right, They only care about serving themselves. I'm 779 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,680 Speaker 1: not sure why. I don't know why I asked him 780 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,359 Speaker 1: all the time. They don't care about us. That's the thing. 781 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,320 Speaker 1: That's the thing that frustrates me about the the Trump 782 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 1: Middle America or wherever the wherever the funk they are. 783 00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 1: They're under this impression that this guy gives a ship 784 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,759 Speaker 1: about the have nots. He could care less about the 785 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:50,680 Speaker 1: have not of any color, white, black, green, blue, Puerto Rican, 786 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: any color. He doesn't care. He does not care. And 787 00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 1: I don't know what makes people think all of a 788 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: sudden boom because he's up there talking like, what in 789 00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 1: his life has he done to show that he cares 790 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: about people? Uh, regular regular folk, lovely. Um. All right, 791 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 1: let let me ask you this. In a few years, 792 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 1: there's gonna be another election for a president, whether Trump resigns, uh, 793 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 1: whether he anything happens. As far as the Democrats, who 794 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: can we look forward to running for president and being 795 00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 1: a viable, strong, charismatic And at this point you need 796 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 1: to be able to deal with confrontation which is a 797 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 1: whole new sort of Uh, Like you have to be 798 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 1: able to talk shit because we can say what we 799 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 1: want about Trump. But he went in there at these 800 00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 1: um debates and he played beyond dirty. He took it 801 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 1: to a schoolyard level. He was insulting. He was personally insulting, 802 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,799 Speaker 1: you know, like he's a good ship talker. Who would 803 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 1: be the person in line or people online that would 804 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 1: be able to go against him or the next Republican candidate. 805 00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 1: My personal choices Michelle Obama. I know that she's not 806 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: drawn to it as of yet, even though she made 807 00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: it clear that she's not running, which is the first 808 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,359 Speaker 1: thing you do when you're running. Uh. But that's that's 809 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, that's obviously a while. If I had to 810 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,920 Speaker 1: choose today, I'd say it would be Joe Biden to 811 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: get the polar opposite going where he can attack him 812 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 1: by calling him a huligant or like, you know something 813 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,960 Speaker 1: where it's very simple but it's a sharp bar. Right. 814 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,920 Speaker 1: I think jo can mix it up verbally, right right, 815 00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: And I think Joe like would intimidate him physically, Like 816 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,600 Speaker 1: it's weird to think of it that way, but like 817 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 1: he needs to feel like a physical threat. It's so 818 00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,359 Speaker 1: weird to think that. But the way he was sort 819 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 1: of stalking around Hillary and like lurking around her like 820 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 1: he knew she wouldn't talk the way he was going 821 00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: to talk. He she's a woman, he's a guy. He's 822 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:56,880 Speaker 1: a big guy. Like there was a sort of like 823 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: he was sort of like intimidating, like he needs to 824 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 1: be lead, right. I think, you know, that's that's a 825 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: tough thing. Is I didn't see a lot of that happening. 826 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,399 Speaker 1: And I think that's why, uh, you know, I kind 827 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 1: of let Louise, you know, about a year ago, and 828 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,000 Speaker 1: I was just like, I'm just gonna say I'm not 829 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,759 Speaker 1: gonna even sugarcoat anything. And it's it's it's made me 830 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:26,239 Speaker 1: able to be a be a bigger voice, and it's 831 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: I think that there's a lot of other Democrats that 832 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: can that can learn from that. He's so inappropriate as 833 00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,359 Speaker 1: a president and some people, some people will go, well, 834 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 1: he's being real, he's just like us, And I go, 835 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to fucking president like me. Otherwise I 836 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 1: would run like I want a president to be better 837 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,560 Speaker 1: than me. I want a president to be more articulate 838 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,800 Speaker 1: than me. I want a president to be more thoughtful 839 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,320 Speaker 1: and more compassionate than me, right, I don't want to 840 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:58,120 Speaker 1: a president who speaks, makes up things, whose schoolyard ship 841 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 1: talking and all this stuff. And I'm with you, like 842 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,360 Speaker 1: when you say you were just like fuck it, I 843 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,839 Speaker 1: gotta let the chips fall. I never gave a ship. 844 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,680 Speaker 1: I never talked about politics. I got you know, I 845 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 1: never thought about it. I never was concerned about it 846 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 1: until him, Like, you know, this is like a fire 847 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 1: alarm with him, It's like this is bad, this is 848 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 1: not good. No, and it's it's like it's like the 849 00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,840 Speaker 1: Kushner thing. You said, I think you're on Colbert and 850 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,839 Speaker 1: it said, uh something on the lines of like how 851 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: how can he look himself in the mirrors? Is a 852 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,919 Speaker 1: Jewish person? Like how can he actually you know, still 853 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,400 Speaker 1: be there after all the white supremacist stuff like this 854 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 1: is no no laughing matter. These are people. Let's let's 855 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 1: let's think about it like this. If you're a white supremacist, 856 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:43,600 Speaker 1: what do you want to do? You want whites to 857 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: be the only race that exists, that's goal. So they 858 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,839 Speaker 1: want everybody else to die out um everything that he's 859 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 1: doing right now, taking healthcare, taking away funds, UM, not 860 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 1: helping out Puerto Rico, you know, not helping out more 861 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:02,800 Speaker 1: liberal states. Uh. All of that hurts minorities in America. 862 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,120 Speaker 1: And the thing that you know they're gonna be most 863 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,480 Speaker 1: trouble with is the fact that they've got you know, 864 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 1: like fourteen seats in California, twelve seats in Texas mostly 865 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 1: that wouldn't be up for grabs if it wasn't for 866 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, Trump, when he's you know, he opened the 867 00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,719 Speaker 1: door for Democrats that haven't had teeth before. UM. And 868 00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 1: I guarantee you that President Obama will come out swinging 869 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 1: when he's gonna be campaigning like a madman. Okay, coming up, 870 00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: He's gonna be campaigning like a madman, and he is 871 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,800 Speaker 1: not going to hold back. He's good at that slow 872 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: burn of knowing exactly what to say to just get 873 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 1: under Donald's skin because he's one of the few people 874 00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,120 Speaker 1: who can do it. And I think Hillary is gonna 875 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: be a player major role in that as well. But 876 00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,920 Speaker 1: it's it's it's I think there will be a political 877 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,520 Speaker 1: reset when people realize exactly what's what's gone down during 878 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,320 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, and it's gonna be more civil and 879 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 1: we're gonna be more united in the end, and not 880 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,279 Speaker 1: only that, will be stronger for it because we won't 881 00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:12,160 Speaker 1: be influenced by a bunch of garbage that says, hey, 882 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,839 Speaker 1: let's go right in the streets, you know, and it's 883 00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 1: just a Russian ad, you know, like we were not 884 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,399 Speaker 1: protecting ourselves. We're acting like the internet is not part 885 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,320 Speaker 1: of reality or it doesn't affect real life, when in 886 00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 1: fact it it does, you know. And and people need 887 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,200 Speaker 1: to remember when they caught off immigrants from coming here, 888 00:53:30,239 --> 00:53:31,840 Speaker 1: where do you think they go? They go into the 889 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,439 Speaker 1: freaking ditch in their in their country, they're probably dead. 890 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,360 Speaker 1: So that's like where is that country? You know? And 891 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,719 Speaker 1: not only that, at some point someone's gonna have to 892 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,520 Speaker 1: face the gun issue. We have. Gun violence is don't 893 00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,920 Speaker 1: even up further now, um, And that's every it's such 894 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 1: a hot bush, you knows through that. Take the fucking guns, 895 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 1: like start with the machine guns, and you know, everybody 896 00:53:57,719 --> 00:53:59,319 Speaker 1: can have their own pistol and you can have your 897 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 1: own little little war in the country and shoot you know, 898 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, your cars. And I've done it before, like 899 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 1: I get it. But it's a hobby and it's not 900 00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:11,399 Speaker 1: worth people's lives and and no one should be able 901 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 1: to own a weapon of mass destruction. That was not 902 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,239 Speaker 1: what they were saying. They were saying, you know, if 903 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 1: everybody wants to have a band that you go ahead 904 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:20,879 Speaker 1: and take it. Anyways, So there's a lot of things 905 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 1: that are happening that are very simple that can help 906 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:28,439 Speaker 1: America that we're just not doing simple fixes to things 907 00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:34,360 Speaker 1: that involve um, you know, mass murder, basically, the terrorist attacks, 908 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 1: domestic terrorism, and it's just being downplayed because we're not 909 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: being attacked by a bunch of um people that practice 910 00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 1: most like, we're not being attacked by what do you 911 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 1: what do you say is radical Muslims were being attacked 912 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,920 Speaker 1: by white Christian men like a lot of times or 913 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,919 Speaker 1: kate Christians obviously, but people who act like they're they're 914 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 1: Christians and Trump followers, Uh, they're obviously insane. And so 915 00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to um blame him completely for it, 916 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 1: but at some point, you know, you've got to call 917 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: this what it is, which is brainwashing um. And when 918 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 1: they're doing this, they're using Russian tactics. But what I 919 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,359 Speaker 1: think is it's wearing off. It's not cool. The next 920 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: cool thing is to see how Trump can actually be toppled. 921 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,360 Speaker 1: Uh and and I think that we're in store for 922 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 1: something that's uh, not only historic, it's uh it really 923 00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:35,560 Speaker 1: is going to bring us back to the forefront of 924 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 1: everything where we can take the lead in green energy 925 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:43,160 Speaker 1: and uh everything else down the line. But we cannot 926 00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,520 Speaker 1: do that unless people keep fighting. And I can tell 927 00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,320 Speaker 1: you this, I've never I've worked on over a thousand 928 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 1: campaigns in all fifty states in DC since you know, 929 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:59,400 Speaker 1: two thousand and four, and I've never seen people that's energized. 930 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 1: I've ever seen this people that's angry where they actually 931 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,640 Speaker 1: put it to good use and where their hobby is 932 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:10,719 Speaker 1: now protesting where they actually and not only that, even 933 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 1: more dangerously for the Republicans if these people are running 934 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,440 Speaker 1: for Congress, these people are eight half states Senate. UM. 935 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 1: So you know, when you have Republicans that are going 936 00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: to be just keep this in mind for the fall, 937 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,800 Speaker 1: and you have them a lot of these people that 938 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,439 Speaker 1: are in safe district, they'll have to be home more, 939 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,640 Speaker 1: they'll have to campaign more at home, They'll have to 940 00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,200 Speaker 1: raise funds for themselves and not other people. UM. So, 941 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,200 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan were staying in which you might actually resent 942 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,480 Speaker 1: um or retire, He says, uh at the end of 943 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,759 Speaker 1: the cycle. You know, I think it really is you know, 944 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,239 Speaker 1: they're they're they're fooling themselves that they believe that they 945 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,759 Speaker 1: can actually keep these stances that represent you know, one 946 00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: percent of America at the end of the day. I 947 00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:58,200 Speaker 1: think that you know, we're gonna be we are a stronger, 948 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 1: stronger country, um, and and will return to a sense 949 00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 1: of civility, uh, you know, in due time. UM. But 950 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,279 Speaker 1: I don't think the worst is has hit us yet. 951 00:57:10,600 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that Dy've you know, they've really gone 952 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 1: after things as much as they could. And they haven't 953 00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 1: fired Moeller. They haven't tried to from what we've seen. Um. 954 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: You know, but all of these chips, when you take 955 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 1: away our diplomats and you tear down our country bit 956 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: by bit, eventually the bites you in the ass and 957 00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 1: you got it's really it's a dangerous premise. And sometimes 958 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,480 Speaker 1: it takes a while for the domino's catch up to itself. Um. 959 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 1: And it only takes one thing for people to stick 960 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 1: to it. And it could involve nothing to do with 961 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,880 Speaker 1: Russia or uh me too or anything else. It could 962 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:52,760 Speaker 1: be something random that drives him out where people are 963 00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 1: like the huge the sticking point, there's the line I'm 964 00:57:56,280 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 1: done like that, and I was done before he got inaugurated, right, 965 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 1: And it's just I think that he's the best worst 966 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 1: thing that's ever happened to us, at least our generation 967 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,400 Speaker 1: where you woke up people to make me care and 968 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 1: realize that they're vote matters. I agree, I agree. I 969 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: think that will be the best thing that comes from 970 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,919 Speaker 1: all this.
