1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Texas Democrats about to lose their seats. Trump is now 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: the hunter instead of the hunted, and god bless football 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: is back this week. I'm the David Rutherford Show. What's up, everybody. 4 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: I am stoked to be back on the air with you. 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: I hope you all have had an interesting week as 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: I had a little trip up to New Jersey to 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: speak to a group up there, but I got to 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: spend some time with my good friend Brian. Just really 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: want to congratulate him on the new advancement in his 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: life and what's going on out there.

Not that I 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: don't love being around my kids all the time, but 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: four teenage girls during can be a little overwhelming at times. 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: But I'm proud of them. I love them. We had 18 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: a great summer. But I am stoked school is about 19 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: ready to start. That's this. I'm sure you're stoked too 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: because your kids are going back as well. All right, 21 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: So this week has been an incredible Another incredible week 22 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: in the News. I've pulled out a few stories that 23 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: I really wanted to touch on and bring to everyone's attention. Now, 24 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: it's pretty common knowledge. If you were to take five 25 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: seconds and just look at the congressional district maps of 26 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: places like New York or Massachusetts, or Illinois or California, 27 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: that you would see there would be a pretty substantial 28 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: imbalance to how many Democratic seats there are versus how 29 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: many Republican seats. Now, if you're not familiar how this 30 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: takes place, it's a result of when the United States 31 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: conducts the scent since every ten years, the last census 32 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: that was conducted was pretty recent, and what ends up 33 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: happening is that they don't separate American citizens in illegal 34 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: people that are in the country, and so what ends 35 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: up happening it's just a quantifile number. That number that's 36 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: a result of how many people that actually live in 37 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: these areas. Well. Guess what if you've been importing by 38 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: the millions illegal aliens into particular districts, let's say, districts 39 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: or states that have traditionally been pretty substantially read in 40 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: the past, and you want to flip those places, i e. Texas, 41 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: then what do you do you put them into these 42 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: major metropolitan areas. All you need is to fill those 43 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: places up. The census comes out. Now all of a sudden, 44 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: you get two or three new district appointed seats to 45 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: those areas, and now all of this sudden you begin 46 00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: to flip the states. 47 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: Well, thank god that didn't happen. Can you imagine? 48 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: Uh? Well, I think that was the intention. I mean, obviously, 49 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: what happens when you put the thirty thousand Haitians in 50 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: some place in Ohio or you know, you put a 51 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: couple hundred thousand people in different districts in Tampa area, 52 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: in my in Florida or whatever it might be. Man 53 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: that that I mean, I think it was blatant. I mean, 54 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: I unless you don't pay attention to one hundred percent 55 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: one hundred percent blaytant. Well, guess what's happening. The guy 56 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: who I have tremendous admiration for the Attorney General of Texas, 57 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: mister Ken Paxson, who by the way, defeated an impeachment 58 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: trial last year or the year before, uh where it 59 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: wasn't the House Democrats in Texas that went after him. 60 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: It was actually the House Republicans that went after him 61 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: that the underlying theory is is that it was the 62 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: old Bush Guard that wanted to get rid of Ken Paxton, 63 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: and so what they do is they tried to impeach 64 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: him on these trumped up charges, which was hilarious because 65 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: in the trial of this thing, the five people came 66 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: out and every all five of them said, yeah, we 67 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: basically made up what we said and what launched the impeachment. 68 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: So I think Ken Paxton is running riding a pretty 69 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: substantial high in particular now. In fact, he just announced 70 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: that he'll be running for Texas Senate, which is awesome. 71 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a great thing, especially against John Corn, 72 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: who has been labeled a rhino pretty extensively and in 73 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: fact has come out in an opposition of what he's done. Well, 74 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 1: what happened last week was in Texas in the House, 75 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: they passed a bill that was going to form that 76 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: was going to read district Texas, gaining as few as 77 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: five new seats for Republicans all the way up eight 78 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: new seats in these different major metropolitan areas. Well, they 79 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: came out and they voted and they called for a 80 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: redistrict that was going to cost the Democrat seats. So 81 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: what did they do? What did the Democrats do? In 82 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: one of their great ways that with the how they work, well, 83 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: if they don't like something legislatively, they boycott it. And 84 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: so thirteen thirteen Democratic congressman from Texas decided, well, we're 85 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: just not going to show up for the major House vote. 86 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: We're not going to do it. And they did it 87 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: a few times and then finally it was like you 88 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: better show up or else. Well, they bombed and some 89 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: of them went to Illinois, some of them went to 90 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: these other places to make a stance, and they couldn't 91 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: do this vote. Now, there also are other bills that 92 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: are on the table that they're bringing up as mission 93 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: critical for Texas to pass. And some of these things, yeah, 94 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: I think they're pretty important. But redistricting is always what 95 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: politicians think about, especially on national scale. Right, And so 96 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: these thirteen Democratic state representatives basically are getting busted for 97 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: breaking House quorums, right, trying to block this Republican led 98 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: redistricting plan. Right. These people are John Busey, the third 99 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: District one, thirty six, Austin Luluflores District fifty one, Austin 100 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: Vicki Goodwin forty seven Austin, Jessica Gonzales one oh four Dallas, 101 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: Gina Henosa forty nine, Austin, Suliman Lalani seventy six, sugar Land, 102 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: Christina Morales one forty five, Houston, Michele Mahela Place Plesa 103 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: seventy Dallas, Anna, Maria Rodriguez Ramos one oh two, Richardson, 104 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: Ron Reynolds twenty seven, Missouri City, James Telasario, Yeah, I 105 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: think that's it. Tell alart Man, I'm butchering this, aren't I, 106 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: Buddy Ti Lalarco, Yeah, fifty Austin, Sorry about that, Sir, 107 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: Chris Turner one oh one, Grand Prairie, and Jeane wu 108 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: won thirty seven Houston. So these people basically said, yeah, 109 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: we're just not going to show up for the vote. Now, 110 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: some people might think, well, that's an effective way to 111 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: not bring to fruition a final vote that's going to 112 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: cost seats. However, Ken Paxson is not somebody to be 113 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: trifled with. So what did he do? He followed a 114 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: motion to the Texas Supreme Court to essentially remove these 115 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: people from their positions as a state representative. Why don't 116 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: you play that little audio for me right now? Of 117 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: the options that Ken Paxson had, As he told in 118 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: this interview, what are some of the other avenues that 119 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: you can share with us? I realized you mad don't 120 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: want to share all of your strategy publicly. 121 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: Well, there was there were three. There was the initial option, 122 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 3: which I thought was the best, which is locked the 123 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: doors while they were there. The speaker could have done that. 124 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: He did not do that, knowing if I had any 125 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: anticipation that they were leaving, I would have locked the 126 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: doors and they would have been trapped. So we would 127 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: have had to vote. That would have been the simplest, 128 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 3: fastest way to do it. We didn't do it. The 129 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: second possible way is, you know, arrest them on their 130 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 3: way out. We didn't do that either. They went to 131 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 3: jurisdictions that are not friendly to to Texas Republicans, and 132 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: so you know, we don't have jurisdictional ability to get 133 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: to him in these more liberal states, having gone to Illinois, 134 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 3: New York, and still the Massachusetts. So wait them out? 135 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 3: Is that option now? Since you can't arrest? And then 136 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: the final option is this possibility which had never been 137 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: done before. We came up with the idea a few 138 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: years ago, and this is what we're trying to figure 139 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: out if we can do, which is to do this 140 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 3: procedure that would basically force them out of office. It 141 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: would have to be determined by court. We don't make 142 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: the determination. The court would have to decide that they 143 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: were not performing their duty and that they needed to 144 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 3: be replaced removed. 145 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: All right, So there you heard it from the mouth himself. 146 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: They tried, They had three other options that the Republicans 147 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: who ran did not do, and so it came down 148 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: to this. And if you could, also, JEORDI, post the 149 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: cover of that document that he sent to the Supreme Court. Now, 150 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: this is a novel, new way of handling business, never 151 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: been done before, to basically get rid of these people 152 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: in their seats. And that's a pretty amazing move to make. Now, 153 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: what my mind goes to automatically is if this is 154 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: a tactic that brings awareness to what the Republicans seemed 155 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: to be moving into. And I would bet especially in 156 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: those completely blue states with their jerrymandered districts. And also 157 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: right now, Jordie, could you put up the map of Illinois. Cool? 158 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: And when you look at that map of Illinois, you 159 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: see I mean, that's that's what they do, right. I 160 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: think both parties have been doing that since the dawn 161 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: of the concept of Jerrymanderin came into place. Nobody's innocent 162 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: of doing this. Republicans do it, Democrats do it. That's 163 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: the way it works. Well, if you're going to fight 164 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: fire with fire, that's a tool you can use. But 165 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't think anybody imagined that you would have this 166 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: larger contingent that would, you know, walk out and prevent 167 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: the quorums from taking place just because you don't like 168 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: what the outcomes are going to be. That's also a 169 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: first in a heavy way. I think there's been examples 170 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: of that, but not down to that final vote, and 171 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: certainly not a filing with a Supreme court of any state. 172 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: My problem is is this is going to bring a 173 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: ton of publicity. It's gonna invigorate Democrats in all states 174 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: around the country. But it's also I think, going to 175 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: invigorate federal congressman Democratic congressman to do the same type 176 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: of thing. With much of what Trump's policy initiatives are 177 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: going to be coming up. We've got another big vote 178 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: coming up there in the fall and onwards. So is 179 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: this going to be the status quo if either side 180 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: of the House decides that they just don't want to 181 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: participate in the voting, so is it a good precedent 182 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: on either side? No? Do I respect what Ken Paxson 183 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: is having to do. Yes, I think there's probably other 184 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: ways to do it. But again, if you're dealing with 185 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: an organization in terms of the Democratic National Party International 186 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: Committee who plays hardball, then yeah, I think you have 187 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: to play hardball with hardball. So although I wish it 188 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have come to this, it definitely seems like a 189 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: good tactic to employ. All Right, next story. The next 190 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: story kind of lends itself to what I was just 191 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: talking about. It's the idea of Trump going from being 192 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: hunted to now being the hunt tour. And that's been 193 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: a very common title that has been all over X 194 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: with a lot of the people that have re shared 195 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: and reposed these new ideas. And the one that really 196 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: is remarkable to me, I think was inevitable considering the 197 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: magnitude of lawfair flagrant lawfair that was waged against him 198 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: over the last eight years, in particular last five years 199 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: UH from the Biden administration, in particular from their d 200 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: O J. Jack Smith and then they're you know, they're essential, 201 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: their their proteges or their henchmen. Uh Letitia James, Fanny 202 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: Willis and others who filed these incredible crime uh uh 203 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: cases against Trump and his team. So what happened this 204 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: week is uh Pam Bondy essentially said we're gonna go 205 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: after Letitia James and Adam Schiff. Now what's interesting to 206 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: me is that not only were they ethic, you know, 207 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: they're in there, there's ethic complaints for certain things that 208 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: they've done, but the majority of what this is about 209 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: is for something that's incredibly uh ironic, if you will, right, 210 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: h What is the one thing that everybody always says 211 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: when we're talking about corruption of any kind, follow the money. 212 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: And this particular case what the most famous one, I 213 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: think is back in the day when al Capone finally 214 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: got had to go to jail for what for tax evasion. Well, 215 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: what we have now is is the Pambani and the 216 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: Department of Justice is going after Letitia James and Adam 217 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: Shift for mortgage fraud. And I mean think about that, 218 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean think about all the things that she the 219 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: two of them could get busted for, right, Adam Shift falsified, 220 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: basically lying for four straight years about Russia, Clusiah Russian 221 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: just getting on national television and basis basically straight up 222 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: saying yep, Trump is a Russian spy and getting away 223 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: with that, and then and then also his participation in 224 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: what he did on the January sixth committee, uh and 225 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: and basically hiding information that would have exonerated, you know, 226 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: hundreds of people from those being arrested after in the 227 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: January sixth crackdown that resulted. And then there's Leticia James 228 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: and all the different lawsuits she brought. My favorite one 229 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: is where she could try to convince a jury that 230 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump illegally inflated his value so he could, you know, 231 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: cajole these banks to giving him these loans. Basically my 232 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: favorite one was saying that what Mara Lago is only 233 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: worth fourteen or eighteen million dollars? Man, I mean, it's 234 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: just it's the most pristine property in all of South Florida. 235 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: There's saying door handles are worth fourteen million dollars. 236 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: I've been there, and I agree with you. I agree 237 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: with you. Oh my god, it's incredible. So what do 238 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: we have and how is this going to take place, 239 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: and I think, you know, these are kind of what 240 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: is going on. So here's here's a brief. 241 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: Friend. 242 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: So you've got civil rights violations related to Trump in 243 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: his NRA cases. The DOJ convened a Grand Journey at Albany, 244 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: New York, to investigate whether James violated President Trump's civil 245 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: rights through her office's civil fraud lawsuit against him in 246 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: his business. The lawsuit, initiated in twenty twenty two, resulted 247 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: in a four hundred and fifty four million dollar judgment 248 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: against Trump for fraudulently inflating his net worth to deceive leaders. 249 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: And so what they came back is and then the 250 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: FBI there the mortgage fraud allegations. The FBI and the 251 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: US Attorney Office in Albany are investigating James for alleged 252 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: mortgage fraud tied to real estate transactions, particularly a Virginia 253 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: home purchase. A criminal referral from the Federal Housing Finance 254 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: Agency in April twenty twenty five, initiated by Trump appointed 255 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: fh FA director William Poulti, alleges that James falsified records 256 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: in claiming a Virginia property as her primary residence to 257 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: secure favored long term loans. All right, Uh, you know, 258 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: again tit for tat is politics. I think, you know, 259 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see this case play out. I 260 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: wish they could really just focus on the legality of 261 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: the the charges that she brought against Trump and really 262 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: stay there. You know, I think these mortgage fraud things 263 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: are are a little bit of a distraction. It's easy 264 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: way to bring them into the headlines and tear them 265 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: down a little bit. But again, you know, after the 266 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: when when you watch go back to Letitia James running 267 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: for office and she says, my sole mission, uh, if 268 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: I'm elected, will be to bring Donald Trump down. You know, 269 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, you got to go back to these things 270 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: because I think the challenge for everybody in particular, you know, 271 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: you look at what Democrats are saying and and they're 272 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 1: losing their minds over this or like you know, this 273 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,360 Speaker 1: is the emerging this is Donald Trump becoming you know, 274 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: taking the reins and manipulating the justice system. And you know, 275 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: one of the oldest tactics in the book is democratic 276 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: party is you accuse the other guys of exactly what 277 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: you have done to distract them. And we certainly know 278 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: that these cases brought by Letitia James, Robert Smith, and 279 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: Fanny Willis. We're bogus in every way, shape or form. 280 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff is the other guy, right, And Adam Schiff 281 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: is under federal criminal investigation by the US Attorney's Office 282 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: in Maryland for alleged mortgage fraud. Investigation reported by Fox 283 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: News and other sources, stems from a criminal referral by WHO, 284 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Department of Justice 285 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: in May twenty twenty five. The allegation center around shifts 286 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: alleged miss representation of his primary residents to secure more 287 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: favorable mortgage terms on properties in California and Maryland. All right, again, 288 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: Adam Schiff is a guy. If you go back and 289 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: you look at the magnitude with which he went after 290 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: Trump in not only Russiagate. He was a primary guy 291 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: on the news day in and day out for years 292 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: basically saying Trump is a Russian spy, He's a Russian asset. 293 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: And what's crazy now, what we know is that he 294 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: knew all of that was false. He knew every all 295 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: the documents, the Russia Gate whole thing. He knew it 296 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 1: was false. He'd been briefed by because he was the 297 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: head of the Foreign Intelligence Committee, so he knew what 298 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: was completely inaccurate, but he ran with it. Why because 299 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: it's served him politically. 300 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 3: You know. 301 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: The other aspect is really the impeachment stuff that was 302 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: brought out of January sixth, Trump incitement of a riot 303 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: and trying to alter the finality of the election, which 304 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: we also now are I don't think we fully know 305 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: what's going on, but we certainly know that were shenanigans 306 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: taking place. I just think, you know, remember I always 307 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: think back to when Christopher Ray was being was under 308 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: subpoena and was answering questions, and the congressman from Louisiana 309 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: basically said, how many how many people were how many informants, 310 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: paid informants or actual operatives intelligence FBI operatives were in 311 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: the crowd on January sixth, And he wouldn't answer the question, 312 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: all right, And what he estimated is what he had said, 313 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: is that there was at least two hundred for sure 314 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: that he'd found in their investigation. So I think there's 315 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: a lot more that's going to come out from the 316 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: January sixth fiasco. And I think also we haven't even 317 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: begun to scratch the surface on the twenty twenty election fiasco. 318 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: So what is Trump doing? He's playing hardball. Now He's 319 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: going to go after these people that essentially wanted to 320 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: imprison him for seven hundred and whatever how many years 321 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: and wanted to bankrupt him and bankrupt his family, bankrupt 322 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: everybody in his family, to indict all his friends, to 323 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: tear him down. So what did Pam Dondie Bonnie do. 324 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: She hired signed ed Martin as a special prosecutor. Now 325 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: you know his background. He's a former interim US District 326 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: Attorney General for District of Columbia. But he was shut 327 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: down by Tom Tillis Senator Tom Tillis, Republican from North Carolina, 328 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: citing his lack of prosecutorial experience and controversial political activities. Now, 329 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: he was a strong component that the January sixth thing 330 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: was an inside job planned by Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, 331 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: and the whole rest of the crew in order to 332 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: really put the final nail in the coffin on true 333 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: for insurrection and what that whole thing was. And again, 334 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: well we'll know more about that. That's definitely going to 335 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: come out. So this guy Ed Martin, they put him 336 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: as a Special Prosecutor. Now, from the interviews I've listened 337 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: to him, this guy is definitely going to have an 338 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: axe to grind, as does Trump himself. So it'll be 339 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: interesting to see what results out of this Special Council investigation. 340 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: All right. You know, I think when you look at 341 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,959 Speaker 1: this type of thing and you look at the current 342 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: state of where we are politically, I think all of 343 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: this is pretty much it's inevitable, right you. Any time, 344 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, you you invest hundreds of millions of dollars 345 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: into trying to destroy your political enemy, you know, you 346 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: better finish the job. And I think they did everything 347 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: up into you know, and there's no conclusive evidence that 348 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: anybody within our government had anything to do with the 349 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: two assassination attempts. Certainly there's been some really interesting reporting 350 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: again by Mike Ben's and Roth's connection to Ukraine and 351 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,640 Speaker 1: recruiting and some NGOs, and that that's interesting. I think 352 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions about the kid who shot Trump. 353 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: We still haven't seen his phone, his contacts and his 354 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: phone and who he was talking to on these foreign 355 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: chat apps. So there's a lot to be understood. And 356 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: I think, as you hear me describe this. It stacks up. Man, 357 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: All these things just keep stacking and stacking and stacking 358 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: and stacking, and the weight of this concise and consolidated 359 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: conspiracy to get rid of Donald Trump. This is true. 360 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: They went after him harder than anything I've ever seen 361 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: or heard about in the history of our country. And 362 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: even the other kind of On a side note, Project 363 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: Veritas is suggesting that Fanny Willis, in the Rico case 364 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: she brought against Trump and like twenty other people down 365 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: in Fulton County, Georgia, that she was actually corresponding not 366 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 1: only with Biden's doj But now we're understanding there were 367 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: some emails and Jordy, we put up those two emails 368 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: that I sent you, and if you see these, there's 369 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: references to people in her team making contact with Bill 370 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: Barr in his team. 371 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 3: Now. 372 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: Bill Barr is the former Attorney General under Trump's first term, 373 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: who basically is, you know, got all kinds of just 374 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,239 Speaker 1: nefariousness that's being LinkedIn him now with this also the 375 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: fact that he was the age when Epstein died. It 376 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: was his father that hired Epstein back at the school 377 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 1: he worked at the Dalton School, and that relationship and 378 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: you know, they have some other bizarre relationships there, you know. 379 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,719 Speaker 1: So you begin to think, my god, the magnitude of 380 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: effort that was employed to try and get prevent one 381 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump from running in the first place, becoming president 382 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: in the first term, tearing him down with Mueller investigation, 383 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 1: two impeachment votes there, then the twenty twenty fiasco of 384 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: elections right trying to then tear him down after that 385 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: through January sixth and the trees and indictments, and then 386 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: four straight years of investigations emerging from all these attorney generals. 387 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: That's a lot. And I want you to just for 388 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: one minute, if you had just one of these things 389 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: that was happening to you in your life, just one, 390 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: just one event of these, even if you were one 391 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: of the co defendants in the Fulton County case for conspiracy, 392 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: this Rico case to change the election outcomes in Georgia, 393 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: which are our suspect. And if you want to do 394 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: a deep dive in there, you just go in and 395 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: you look at some of the testimony that came out 396 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: last year of how mail in ballots and photographs that 397 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: are supposed to correlate that those with signature correlation like 398 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty plus thousand missing, there's no correlated 399 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: evidence of photographs of the signature matches. I mean, it's 400 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: it was an abomination. And we also know Fanny Wells 401 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: and her lover who she had hired for a couple 402 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: million dollars. I think it was he was traveling up 403 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: to meet with Biden's DJ as well. So this is 404 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: a conspiracy, There's no doubt about it. And if you 405 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: had just one aspect of this conspiracy coming after you, 406 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: would you have been able to take it? And then 407 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: the greater question, the question that you really have to 408 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: ask yourself, is this, if you got through it and 409 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: then we're in a position to go after the people 410 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: that tried to destroy you, what would you do? That's 411 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: the real question. So it'll be fascinating to watch all 412 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: of this, combined with all of the subpoenas that James 413 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: Comer issued for Clinton and Komi and Brennan in the 414 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: fall that are coming up here. All these we're going 415 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: to see a cascade of filings that I think is 416 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: going to regrettably intensify the divide of the American public, 417 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: which is not what needs to happen. Ultimately, I think 418 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: there's no way in how anybody's going to talk Trump 419 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: and his team out of doing this. I just think 420 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: revenge is a dish best served cold, and I think 421 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: it is an evitability that he's going to go after 422 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: the people that went after him. This is where we 423 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: are an American politics all right now. On a positive note, 424 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: I want to say this is kind of a personal 425 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: thing that I'm really happy to see. There had been 426 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: some skirmishes that had kicked off again between the country 427 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: of Azerbaijan and Armenia over the last five years. And 428 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: also this is a conflict that dates way back. This 429 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: goes way way back. You know, you can even go 430 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: back to the Armenian genocide back in the day with 431 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,959 Speaker 1: Turkey and the Turks, but really between Armenia and what 432 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: was originally called the Caucasian Tatars, also known as the Azerbaijanis, 433 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: and the fighting that's been taking place as far back 434 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: as to nineteen oh five through the Soviet area. It 435 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: kind of met chilled, and then in eighty nine it 436 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: started up again in several channels. Now, when I was 437 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: at Blackwater, we got a contract to go work in Azerbaijan, 438 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: and honest to God and before I left a few 439 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: days after, you know, getting on that, I didn't know 440 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: what Azerbaijan was. I had heard loosely about the Armenian genocide, 441 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: but I didn't know anything. And so when I went 442 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: out there for the ten months on and off I 443 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: worked out there, I got a full indoctrination as to 444 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: this conflict. And you know, when you think about these 445 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: small countries in this area and why they've been fighting 446 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: for so long, and again, it just goes back to 447 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: these polarized regions, you know, a difference of opinions, difference 448 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: of religion, and just how far people are willing to 449 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: go to to fight for what they believe is theirs. 450 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: And I think this is common throughout history and throughout 451 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: the world. You know, in this the whole conflict is 452 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: really around this unagorhou Narabajak, Nara bacha god man. Sending 453 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: these names is just brutal for me, Jordy in this 454 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: region which is many considered to be a humanitarian crisis. 455 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: So I really commend Trump for bringing some peace to 456 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: to this right now. We saw him bring some peace 457 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: to Indian Pakistan a few months ago. We did a 458 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: show on that we he brought a ceasefire that appears 459 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: to be somewhat stable, although there was a gentleman who 460 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: went on Tucker Carlson last week who basically said that 461 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: there's still a lot of conflict going on in Gaza 462 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: right now, even as humanitarian and eight is somewhat being distributed. 463 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: You know, there's a still cease fire there. And then 464 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: on top of that, on August fifteenth, we just found 465 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: out that Trump is going to meet with Putin in 466 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: Alaska to discuss Ukrainian peace. Now, Geordie, will you play 467 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: that one clip of of the guy, the Russian diplomat 468 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: who basically said, uh, we've agreed to America's terms about 469 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: some of the area and what they were saying about 470 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: peace or ceasefire piece Amana non. 471 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 4: She was more than Astrostrich, all right, So you heard 472 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 4: this guy say this man, that was the first real positive. 473 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: Thing in quite a while. I mean, remember the last 474 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: time UH that there was this negotiation. The Russian delegation 475 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: went to meet with UH. I forget was it was 476 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: in Turkey, I think, to meet with the Ukrainians and 477 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: they essentially walked in, stood up, and walked out and 478 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: nothing took place. Why because Zelensky had done his little 479 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: European tour and had raised I think like a five 480 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: billion or so commitment from European countries to fund NATO 481 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: and its contributions. We've seen a tremendous amount of arms 482 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: and vehicle, military vehicles being pushed into Ukraine recently. And 483 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: if you've also seen there's the Russians have been really 484 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: holding and advancing there that eastern front of all those 485 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 1: that area that they have claimed all the way as 486 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: far back as I think two thousand and eight, that 487 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: this was a part of Mother Russia. And we saw 488 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: several things transpired not only through the Maidan Revolution but 489 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: afterwards as well in these regions, and you know that's 490 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: crimea the don bask and look honks regions. 491 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 4: Right. 492 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 1: So hopefully what we will see is we'll see a 493 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: major negotiation, a major announcement transpire that can really get 494 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: us closer to peace. What will I think all of 495 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: you should pay attention to, if you can, is how 496 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: Zelensky reacts to this. 497 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 3: Uh. 498 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: He's already been on on X a little bit, uh, 499 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: saying this is a sovereign matter, this is Ukraine's decision, 500 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: which he's said throughout, but we'll pay close attention to that. 501 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: So Jordy, what's up. That's a lot going on, man, 502 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: dud yours of mine both. But but I think what 503 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: we have is as we have. You know, one we're seeing, 504 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: I think within the MAGA movement and within the Republican Party, 505 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: one of the things is like, hey, let's start playing hardball. 506 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: I think that's always been a critique of the Republican 507 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: Party is that, you know, there hasn't been enough hardball 508 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: planes in the last sixteen or so years. And now 509 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: finally what we're seeing, in particular from Ken Paxon, is 510 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: people are beginning to play a little hardball. What's interesting 511 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 1: to me is the pushback that's coming from Republican senators right, 512 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: and Republican House congressional leaders as well too on some 513 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: of this stuff. 514 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 5: So you think it's because conservative, if you're a conservative, 515 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 5: you're kind of naturally by default playing defense. You're trying 516 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 5: to conserve right, You're trying to changes that are happening 517 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 5: from the progressive or liberal wing of things, trying their 518 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 5: their job in a functioning system would be to try 519 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 5: to say, hey, we're on a path right now, but 520 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 5: we need to go this different direction in a kind 521 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 5: of a conservative job or responsibility is to say, no, 522 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 5: stick to the plan, this is what's working. We got 523 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 5: to stay right here. So they're kind of on defense 524 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 5: by default. 525 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's materially true. I think that's 526 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: from a you know, a theoretical component. Yeah, conservatism, liberalism, 527 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: I think that is. But I think what I've seen 528 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: is there's an entrenched component and old school guard within 529 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: the Republican Party that is anti Magna at their heart, 530 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: and what they want to do is also push back 531 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: against the policy and the evolution of the party because 532 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: they're losing the traditional grip they had had on it 533 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: for a long, long period of time, and that grip 534 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: is waning rapidly. And so what we're seeing is we're 535 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: seeing the final throws of their command and control. Because 536 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 1: the momentum that the Trump administration and the Maga movement 537 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: are having are substantial. 538 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 5: Now there's still do you think they need to come 539 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 5: out with these people in the terms of if we 540 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 5: don't come back and hit them and play hardball just 541 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 5: like they played with us, this is just going to 542 00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 5: keep happening. 543 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 2: Is that kind of what you think the motivation is? 544 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent convinced that in twenty six 545 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: or twenty eight, or whenever it is in the future, 546 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: should the current controllers of the Democratic Party, which are 547 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: pretty progressive in nature, should they come back in. We 548 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:26,720 Speaker 1: will see what we saw under the Biden administration amplified 549 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 1: by magnitude of however many that is right. We will 550 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: see illegal immigration skyrocket, We'll see the advanced the expansion 551 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court. We'll see getting rid of the fillbuster. 552 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 1: We'll see I mean all kinds of things that they 553 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: will go all in on, right. I just think that's 554 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,480 Speaker 1: the nature of politics right now. We're in a cycle 555 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: of extremes. And what makes me nervous is when you 556 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: get into a cycle of extremes, bind with a potential 557 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: risk of economic calamity. Because we just crossed over thirty 558 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:14,480 Speaker 1: seven trillion dollars in debt. I think, you know, there's 559 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: a substantial recipe for for some problems, right so, you know, 560 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: I think you know we're going to try and break 561 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: down some of those major problems here in the future 562 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: on shows to really kind of I keep getting hit 563 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: up a well you kind of do a state of 564 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: the Union, Uh, you know, we're I think we're two 565 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: hundred days into Trump's first first year in his term, 566 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: and people have kind of been hitting me up. Hey, 567 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 1: you know, let's get a state of the Union where 568 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: you think the most greatest concerns we have. And you know, 569 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 1: I've had people ask me about terror, cells, violence, the 570 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: political gerrymandering, you know, ice raids. 571 00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:58,239 Speaker 3: You know. 572 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 1: So I think what we'll do is we'll start working 573 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: on a show for y'all that I address some of 574 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,720 Speaker 1: the core issues what I believe we need to pay attention, 575 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 1: in particular as we go back into the fall uptick 576 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: in in UH political and geopolitical environment. So but but 577 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: before we go, before we go, I just want to 578 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: say to you, Jordie, into all other UH sports fanatics 579 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: such as me, thank god football is back. Absolutely, thank 580 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 1: god football is back. I can't even begin to tell 581 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: you how excited I am as a former football player myself. 582 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: You know, the months in between are a bit arduous 583 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: to stay fixated. I think I've had my fill of tennis. 584 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: I think I've had my fill of green dildos. Actually 585 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 1: that did not come out right at all. Believe belive 586 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 1: I last everybody completely blay my mats. That's not what 587 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: I meant. What I meant is is the distraction of 588 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: the w nb W n B A and what's going 589 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:16,000 Speaker 1: on with their Shenanigans. And boy, that was horrible. That 590 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: was about as big a mistake of faux pas as 591 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: I've ever made. So people are gonna laugh at that one. 592 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: All right, So football's back. And what the one I 593 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: really want to just highlight for all the haters out there, 594 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: and Geordie, if you could start playing that, you know 595 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: right now for me that that'd be great. And that's 596 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 1: Shador Sanders and the play he had with the Cleveland Browns. 597 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was on fire. I think everybody 598 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,919 Speaker 1: and their brother wanted them to basically wanted this guy 599 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,240 Speaker 1: to go in throw multiple interceptions, get sacked three times. 600 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: There was a great sack by a former Nebraska off 601 00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: defensive lineman with so you know, go Nebraska. But he 602 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,359 Speaker 1: looked really good on the field. He was light on 603 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 1: his feet, he was reading the field well, he did 604 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: some magic dancing like he does to escape what looked 605 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: like certain sacks. He really is an incredibly talented athlete. 606 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: Now I will say this Cleveland brown says five other 607 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: big time quarterbacks. So this will be the quarterback battle 608 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: to watch for sure. But again, we're back. Football's back. 609 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 1: College football is starting soon. There's a we got the 610 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,319 Speaker 1: first game of the season. One of the first games 611 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: of the season is going to be between Texas and 612 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 1: Ohio State. So first time in a long time. Number 613 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: one plays number two right to start off. I love 614 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: that because Penn State has ranked one in some polls, 615 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: but in most other poles they're number three. And I 616 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: think that'll knock one of them out of way. Penn 617 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 1: State can go in and and and hopefully move forward 618 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: they and have a great season and finish as as 619 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: number one. So yeah, football is back. Jordy, who yah, 620 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:13,839 Speaker 1: dude's gonna save us. 621 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 2: It's gonna save us. Can you believe that? 622 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 3: Uh? 623 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 2: You know, August is typically a slow news month. This 624 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,080 Speaker 2: is slow. 625 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 1: I think all that's just out the window. There's just 626 00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: it's it's all gone. We are in a in a 627 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: time where news is just coming at us like a tsunami.
