1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Molly John Fast and this is Fast Politics,

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: where we discussed the top political headlines, and Fox News'

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: own Brian Kilmead says Putin is a bad guy, which

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: for some reason he needs to say.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: We have such a great show for you today.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Ziteo's own Maddi Hassan stops by to talk about Trump's

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: promises to the American people and his current presidency. Then

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Congressman Jared Moskowitz about his long feud

9
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: with Congressman James Comer. But first the news.

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 3: So my Elon musk Stoge has been sued after using

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: US marshals to take over the US African Development Foundation.

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I think the interesting data point here is that the

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: head of the US African Development Foundation is actually a

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: conservative Republican. So the current chair Ward Woke Ward as

15
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: we call him, by the way, I just want to

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: point out this administration is so crazy. Here's Ward Bream.

17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: He is a Massachusetts based businessman. I just want to

18
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: have two seconds here. He has a photo with George W. Bush,

19
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, famous leb w. He gave the keynote address

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: at the National Prayer Breakfast in two thousand and eight.

21
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: You're going to be shocked to hear this. But this

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: guy ate no lib. Does it need to be said,

23
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 1: if you give the keynote address to the National Prayer Breakfast,

24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: you're probably not going to be a liberal. He was

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: the named the us ADF President. This is like yet

26
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: again another case of just mind blowing stupidity.

27
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: So he wrote a letter that.

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: States, in my absence, I have specifically instructed the staff

29
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: to adhere to our roles and procedures and not allow

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: any type of this kind of meeting without my presence.

31
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: I look forward to working. So let me just point

32
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: out these guys did not let the young DOGE employees in.

33
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: They did not let them go into the computers. Again,

34
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: remember these DOGE employees ranged from Big Balls you'll remember

35
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Big Balls, to the guy who got fired for racism

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: but then rehired because racism should not be disqualifying in

37
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: DOGE because if it were, hahaha. This is all about

38
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: trying to disrupt, trying to cut off aid, trying to

39
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: neoter the federal government, make it not work, make everyone afraid,

40
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: and that's what they're doing. So Elon is going to

41
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: be met with a lot of lawsuits, just like he

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: was a Twitter. I mean, in some ways, watching him

43
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: do this in federal government, it's a little bit. He

44
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: just is exactly using the same playbook he did in Twitter.

45
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: You know, remember in Twitter when he showed up with

46
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: the same let that sink in You know, we saw

47
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: him on the floor of seapack with a chainsaw saying.

48
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 2: I am meme. I have become meme. You know.

49
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: It's low comedy followed by corporate malfeasans.

50
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it really is hilarious because anyone who's ever

51
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 3: met people who work in these agencies knows that these

52
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: people are largely very conservative people. Them pretending that these

53
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 3: are all woke liberals who are like marching in BLM

54
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 3: Plaza is the one of the most silly things I've

55
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: ever heard.

56
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.

57
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: So, speaking of very silly things, MAGA is very concerned

58
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: that Justice Amy Tony Barrett is now Justice David Suitor

59
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: part two and has gone woke.

60
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I want to point this out.

61
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: When someone does something that displeases MAGA, it doesn't matter

62
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: what it is.

63
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: If you step out of line at all, you get.

64
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: The hail of hate and threats if you are one

65
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: of their people and you step out of line, you

66
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: get it ten times more. So, for example, there's a

67
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: reason that MAGA hates Bill Crystal. There's a reason that

68
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: Trump is like tweeting about Bill Crystal. It's because they

69
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: think these are their people. I mean, not anymore obviously,

70
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: but there's a reason that MAGA turned on someone like,

71
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, the people who they consider to be their people.

72
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: There's a reason that Trump.

73
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: Hates John Bolton so much, right, because he dared to criticize,

74
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: to not deliver, to not sign off on the most

75
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: craven of Trump's orders. And so here we go, Amy

76
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: Coney Barrett. She was unwilling to vote for some of

77
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: the more craven Trump ideas. There were two different rulings

78
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: that Trump World.

79
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: Did not like.

80
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: One was they were mad that she's one of the

81
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: only checks on the administration's efforts to freeze federal spending.

82
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: So she had ruled against Trump in these efforts. So

83
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: now Musk posted the only way to restore rule of

84
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: law to the people in America is to impeach judges, right,

85
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: because of course, so look, you know they want her

86
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: to just sign off on whatever it is they want

87
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: to do in Trump World, And so she is going

88
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: to catch a lot of ir She did, remember overturned

89
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Roby Wade, so there's quite a lot of reason to

90
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: think she ain't no lib. But the Trump world's angry

91
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: influencers are furious. DEI judge influencer Jack Pasobiac posted on

92
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: ex diversity, Equity and inclusion higher as opposed to DUI,

93
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: which is more of Trump's administrations.

94
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 4: To say Mike Johnson's staff.

95
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: Yes, Amy was a DEI appointee, said Laura Lumer, who

96
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: is always trying to get back and probably by the

97
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: end of this admin will be Trump's chief of staff.

98
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: Again. They're very mad.

99
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, you can never make these people happy because

100
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: they really are so completely you know, they just demand

101
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: complete and utter Fieldy.

102
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: Yep, speaking of Fielty, What are the funniest things to

103
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: watch on Keeople news these days? Is everyone trying to

104
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 3: justify these stupid tariffs. Trump's best buddy, Elon Musk, is

105
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: now one hundred and eleven billion dollars from them.

106
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one bright spot here is that Elon

107
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Musk is destroying his wealth for some reason. It turns

108
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: out that destroying the federal government does not make you popular.

109
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Basically Elon Musk on Wednesday the world's richest man, with

110
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: his pockets one hundred and ten billion dollars lighter than

111
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: his peak networth of four hundred and sixty four billion.

112
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Here's what happened. Elon Musk and Donald Trump have made

113
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: the stock market plummet because of two things likely. I

114
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: mean again, you know, there's a lot of factors, but

115
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: the two biggest factors are the incredible instability of watching

116
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: someone take a chainsaw to the federal government and then

117
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: the incredible instability of tariffing our closest neighbors and allies.

118
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: Tesla stock, which makes up a lot of Elon Musk's

119
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: enormous wells, took a hit from this market downturn. Musk

120
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: lost a billion dollars in one day, one point five

121
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: billion dollars. Here's the thing you have throughout the country

122
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: and throughout the world, people burning down Tesla showrooms. By

123
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: the way, no one should be doing anything violent, but

124
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: we're seeing that. We're seeing a groundswell of rage at

125
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: the richest man in the world. And also he is

126
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: losing money as it's going, which is you know, one

127
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: of the things that happens when you do that. I

128
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: think it's important to remember that he's also doing SpaceX

129
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 1: recently had some interplanetary trash raining down from the sky

130
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: in Florida. Again, you would think there would be some

131
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: legal would be some legal recourse.

132
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: Yes for that.

133
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: Maddie Hassan is the founder and editor of chief of Ziteo.

134
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: Welcome to I don't know. Have you been on? Have

135
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: you not been on? It doesn't matter. Hi, Maddie, I've

136
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 2: been on this show. I know.

137
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: Was I not forgettable by medical.

138
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: Well, it's because honestly, you were a fancy cable news

139
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: host and I had to go through PR That's true.

140
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 4: Now I'm a non fancy formal cable well as.

141
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: Someone who is not a host of anything but her

142
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: own home. I host my canine friends in my own house.

143
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 2: When I do.

144
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 4: Something to be proud of exactly, can we just talk.

145
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: We're the United States of Amnesia. We know nothing, we

146
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: remember nothing, we learned nothing, discuss.

147
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: We have the memory of goldfish.

148
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: We memory hold everything, and therefore we at shot, surprised,

149
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 5: credulous when Donald Trump does things either a he told

150
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 5: us he would do or be did before.

151
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: So, yes, we are in.

152
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 5: This mess because people don't remember shit in this country.

153
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 5: America in general has a lot of problems because we

154
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 5: don't remember anything from our history or anyone else's history.

155
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: And now Donald Trump has obviously weaponized that for his advantage,

156
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: to the point where he said in a press conference

157
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 5: with Kirs Starmer last week, did I say Zelenski was

158
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: a dictator?

159
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 4: And it's kind of like, I'm sure there.

160
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 6: Are many of ems.

161
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: Y did he say that? I'm sure he had a

162
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: receptive audience of people, like maybe he didn't.

163
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you my favorite was I'm old

164
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: enough to remember nine to eleven. And Trump was amusing

165
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: in the office that Europe never came to our aid.

166
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, America went to war. I don't know if

167
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: you know about this. I feel like you may not.

168
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: In numerous countries had nothing to do with Saudi Arabia,

169
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: right done under that right, stunned because we were mad

170
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: about terrorism. And look as someone who smelled the smoke

171
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: and flew over the ashes, like I get it, man,

172
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: but also like NATO has actually worked out pretty well

173
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: for America.

174
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: Oh very well.

175
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 5: All of the post war international architecture was basically constructed

176
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: to boost American primacies.

177
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: There's a great irony.

178
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 5: While some of us on the left, you know, have

179
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: had our criticisms of NATO, had our criticisms of view

180
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 5: n security.

181
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 2: Care Chatrian Act.

182
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 5: My point being, like even the liberal international architecture that

183
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 5: now the Republicans want to tear down. Elon Musk is

184
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: talking openly about withdrawing not just from NATO, but insanely

185
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 5: from the United Nations. All of that has been a

186
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 5: great benefit to the United States and its role in

187
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 5: the world as the sole superpower post Cold War. And

188
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 5: it's interesting that he's tearing this down because it makes

189
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 5: people ask questions whose interest is in It's clearly not

190
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 5: in the US Empire's interest. It might be in Donald

191
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 5: Trump's personal financial interest.

192
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: It might align with his.

193
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 5: View of the world, where the world is just a

194
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 5: kind of group of warring autocrats and he's just one

195
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 5: amongst many, alongside Shi Jinping and Vladimir Putin and the

196
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: rest of them.

197
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 4: That's how he sees the world.

198
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 5: And by the way, on the memory front, there's a

199
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 5: bunch of Americans who can't remember stuff, and then there

200
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 5: are a bunch of Americans who are just ignorant of history.

201
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: And Donald Trump is obviously in that second group. He

202
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 5: just doesn't know anything. Remember when he went to the

203
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 5: grave the cemetery with John Kelly and said, you.

204
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: Know which side were we on in in the World Wars.

205
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 5: In fact, he said in the Oval Office just this

206
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 5: past week, Molly, why does.

207
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: Japan not have to defend us? And we have to

208
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: defend them.

209
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 5: Because we freaking run their constitution that way them in

210
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 5: a horrible world war and said you need to be

211
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 5: pacifist and we'll guarantee your security.

212
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: And Trump's like, why did we do that? Who did?

213
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,239
Speaker 2: My favorite is USA?

214
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: Because it was like they were like, we must staff

215
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: USA it And I'm like, isn't that just a front

216
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: for the CIA?

217
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: Hasn't that always just been a front for the CIA?

218
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 5: But that's what's so funny is that some on the

219
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 5: far left and some of the far right and be like, yeah,

220
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 5: goodwinness to USACA. And I'm like, yeah, USA, I did

221
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 5: did some horrible stuff in terms of foreign governments pushing

222
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: American propaganda, but it also saved a bunch of babies

223
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 5: lives who are now going to die because Donald Trump

224
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 5: has basically gutted this department and what should have been

225
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 5: a bigger story was the former Acting Assistant Administrative USID

226
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 5: who published a memo to his superiors was then put

227
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 5: on leave. The New York Times and other outlets got

228
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 5: the memo, and it's stunning. It talks about your quarter,

229
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: I think, quarter of a million kids getting polio. It

230
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 5: talks about how many people are going to die from

231
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 5: malaria and HIV.

232
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 4: It's horrific.

233
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: It's just it's mad Max predictions, and this should be

234
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 5: the biggest story in the US, but it's not.

235
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: In MAGA world's defense, American children are also getting measles.

236
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: So yes, all the children can suffer together before we

237
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 5: send them down the mines, right.

238
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there is a sort of call back to

239
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: Victorian America that is meant to be nonpartisan.

240
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 5: When they say make America great again, I always say, well,

241
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 5: what date.

242
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 4: What year you want to go back to? Though it

243
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: was great?

244
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 5: Really, we're getting more and more intel here from there.

245
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 5: It's not nineteen fifties. It's more like eighteen fifties.

246
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: One of the things that I think is the most

247
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: impressive about where we are right now is that the

248
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: federal government well not as decimated as it will be

249
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: if this administration ever ends, it's still pretty fucking decimated.

250
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: We know there are measles right now in Texas, New Mexico,

251
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania.

252
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: What we don't know is.

253
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: Whether or not there are measles in everywhere else. I'm

254
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: pretty convinced that measles are going to be the next

255
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: thing we're going to have to fucking deal with because

256
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: it's wildly contagious and we don't have the vaccination numbers

257
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: to get us where we need to be to prevent

258
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: another pandemic.

259
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 4: I mean, get in line measles with bird flip. In

260
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: terms of what's coming back, you saw a couple of things,

261
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 4: I would say.

262
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 5: One is you saw Donald Trump literally push the autism

263
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 5: bullshit in his fake State of the Union in his

264
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 5: addressed to Congress. That might I mean, I don't know

265
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 5: how many people have pointed this out, and maybe I'm

266
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 5: wrong here, but surely, surely that is the most the

267
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 5: singular high profile platform that an anti vaccination talking point

268
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: has reached in modern world history. The President of the

269
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 5: United States using an official speech to Congress to basically

270
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 5: push this idea that vaccinations are causing orders. He didn't

271
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 5: say very cleverly said we don't know why the rates

272
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 5: are going up. We do know why the rates are

273
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 5: going up because of better information, better awareness, but clearly

274
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 5: not to do with the vaccine, as every single study

275
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: is shown. But he wanted to push that talking point

276
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 5: in the RFK junior sitting in the crowd loves. It's

277
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: a deeply dangerous talking point. It will end up killing kids.

278
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: My biggest objection to Donald Trump's return to office was

279
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 5: the memory holding of the pandemic. Next week, thirteenth of

280
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: March is five years since we went international emergency mode.

281
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: Here we have memory hold the pandemic.

282
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 5: I had people telling me we survived one Trump term,

283
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 5: we can survive another.

284
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: Actually, no, four hundred thousand people didn't survive the first

285
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: Trump term.

286
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 5: About two hundred thousand of them, according to the Lance

287
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 5: and Medical Journal, could have survived if Donald Trump hadn't

288
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 5: been president. So he literally oversaw the mass death of

289
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 5: Americans in his first term. We memory hold a Now,

290
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 5: God forbid is you say we could see the deaths

291
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 5: of more children from diseases like measles that are easily

292
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 5: preventable and were preventable. But here's the worst, worst part

293
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 5: of it. Here's the real dystopian point. And I don't

294
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 5: want to leave your listeners hopeless. That this really really

295
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 5: makes me kind of darkens my mood. Is The evil genius.

296
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 4: Of Trump and co.

297
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 5: This time around is that they have found a way,

298
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 5: unlike every right wing predecessor, to avoid any accountability by

299
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 5: basically destroying all the methods we have of knowing what

300
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 5: the fuck is going on. So you say, measle spaces, okay,

301
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 5: but how do you know there are any measles cases?

302
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 4: The Department of Health's not counting.

303
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 5: If a tree falls in a wood and no one's

304
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 5: around to hear it, does it make a noise?

305
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: If there are lots of meus cases.

306
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 5: And the Department of Health and the CDC and the

307
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 5: NAH say there are not or aren't counting, And how

308
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 5: do we know?

309
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 4: You know?

310
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 5: And every in every aspect of government, he's destroying the

311
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 5: ability to document and examine whether in the past, whether

312
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 5: we had a Republican president or democratic president.

313
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: And George W.

314
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: Bush tried to do what Trump did in terms of

315
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 5: undermining the statistical collection of basic data. They're trying to

316
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: destroy the Weather Service, right, So when climate change carries

317
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: on destroying our country with more natural.

318
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 4: Disasters, who's going to know, because they won't be an.

319
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 5: Official count of how many natural disasters there are right now.

320
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: It's not great now. The good news is no, there

321
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: is no good news. What is the good news?

322
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 5: The good news is that so far, in the short

323
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: period of time he's been president, most people have seen

324
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 5: through this bullshit, some people in his own base who

325
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 5: are quickly getting economically.

326
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: Harmed in a way. We didn't realize it would be

327
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: this quick. I knew who's going to harm his own base,

328
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 4: but I thought it would be a bit slower.

329
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: I think that that kind of move fast and break

330
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: things is costing them popular support.

331
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: Now.

332
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 4: You could argue they.

333
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 5: Don't care about popular support because they have no interest

334
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 5: in winning free and fair elections in the future. But

335
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 5: clearly that polling shows he's more unpopular than any president

336
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 5: at this point in their administration. Two months in, you're

337
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: seeing Muscus super popular. You're seeing Republicans at town halls

338
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: shouting at Republican members of Congress, and they'm now canceling

339
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: all town halls.

340
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: So I think in that sense, people are not that befuddled.

341
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 5: I think most people outside of the magabase get it

342
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 5: that this is bull shit. Firing veterans across government is bullshit.

343
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 5: But how does that translate into actual political costs for him?

344
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 4: I don't know yet, because this is not a normal

345
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 4: political party in a normal country. Worried about normal consequences.

346
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I think that's right. I would also add

347
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: that yesterday I was at a dinner and I looked

348
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: at my phone. The woman next to me was giving

349
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: me a hard time about looking at my phone. I

350
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: had like literally had it away for like an hour,

351
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: and then find she was like, you're not supposed to

352
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: do this here, and I was I wanted to like

353
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: punch her, which I know is not how you're supposed

354
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: to act. So I didn't, but I did think to myself.

355
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 5: Well, the good thing is that woman doesn't go on

356
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 5: her phone, so she can't hear you saying this.

357
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 2: Yes, let us pry.

358
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: But the point of this is I looked at my

359
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: phone and there was a that they had closed the

360
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: airports in various parts of Florida because of space dust

361
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: debris coming from a SpaceX launch. Now you'll remember that

362
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: the man who is currently pruning the federal government despite

363
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: having no elected office, is also the man who is

364
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: launching these rockets into space that are closing these airports

365
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: in the state that is governed by Ron DeSantis, who

366
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: is sort of Trump's, one of Trump's sort of mini

367
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: Me's slash rivals.

368
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: Kind of incredible.

369
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you're very generous in referring to it as

370
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 5: pruning the federal governess more like flattering and burning a

371
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 5: federal government. Yeah, Rondi Santis is a pathetic figure who

372
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 5: is even more pathetic than he was when he ran

373
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 5: in the primaries and then pulled out like he's like

374
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 5: Roonder Sanders was the white knight of the Republican Party

375
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 5: who was going to save them from Trump. Some of

376
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 5: us said at the time that was bullshit. The man

377
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 5: has a glass jaw, he's got the of a chair,

378
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 5: and he you know, he crashed and burned very quickly.

379
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 5: Donald Trump mocked him and said that he grew fingers.

380
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 5: I mean, Donald Trump suggested that Roondes Sanders was secretly gay.

381
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: He suggested that Rondes Sanders was cheating on his wife.

382
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 5: He suggested that Ronder Sanders had groomed high school girls

383
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 5: when he was a history teacher. And Sanders just took

384
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: it all and endorsed Trump for president. I don't know,

385
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 5: if you saw Megan McCain this week, Molly saying thank

386
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 5: you Donald Trump for something he said in his beach

387
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 5: that she liked, and you know, you have to think

388
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: about Meghan McCain and Meghan Kelly, and Ron De Santis

389
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 5: and Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio publicly humiliated, but you

390
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 5: have to think about who are up against it. These

391
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 5: people have no spines, they have no shame. They have

392
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 5: been publicly humiliated and beaten down either directly or indirectly

393
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 5: Viya their families by Donald Trump, and yet they are

394
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: part of his praetorian guard.

395
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 4: Right now. They are his strongest defenders.

396
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 5: Marco Rubio is going out in the media and defending

397
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 5: his Russia policy, even though Marko Rubia does not believe

398
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 5: in his Russian policy even one percent.

399
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 4: Marko Rubia spent the past ten.

400
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 5: Years being a hawk on Russia, warning against any appeasement

401
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 5: with Putin, saying we have to stand with Ukraine, et cetera,

402
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 5: et cetera. And now he is the face of the

403
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 5: Donald Trump administration's complete pivot to being as pro Russian

404
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 5: as possible.

405
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's true, but I do think it is

406
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: interesting to watch Elon Musk learn how to do government in.

407
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 2: Real time, or not learn how to do government right

408
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: like we saw him in the Oval.

409
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: Say he had fire the ebol of people, but then

410
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: he had rehired the Ebola people. But it turns out

411
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: in fact he had neither right. He had fired them

412
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: and not rehired them.

413
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 4: Yep.

414
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 5: And he fired the nuclear weapons protection people then tried

415
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 5: to rehidd them.

416
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: Those people he did rehire.

417
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 4: I think he fired the bird.

418
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 5: Flu people and then tried to rehire the bird flew people. Oh,

419
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 5: the veterans are fair hotline where they fired the people

420
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 5: who manned the hotline and then tried to hire them back.

421
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 4: And I don't believe they have done so yet.

422
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: Wow, those veterans, I mean, why do veterans need any help?

423
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 4: They're fine fine. I mean Donald Trump's a veteran. Oh

424
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 4: no he's not.

425
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: No he's not certainly not.

426
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 4: So El Musk is a veteran. Oh no he's not.

427
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 6: So.

428
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 5: Look this guy, I just find it ironic. I was

429
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 5: talking to Paul Krugman yesterday and I said.

430
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: You're an economist. You've written about the economy for years.

431
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen you?

432
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 5: We talked about oligarchy and abstract and like academic texts.

433
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 5: Have you actually seen oligarchy in practice? The world's richest

434
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 5: man is in charge of basically dismantling the elected government

435
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 5: in the name of fighting an unelected bureaucracy. He's not elected,

436
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 5: he's not vetted, he's not Senate confirmed.

437
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 4: And the best part of it is, at the same.

438
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 5: Time as they're doing all of this, he's also getting

439
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 5: new government contracts to add to his previous government contracts.

440
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 4: The hypocrisy is out there in plain sight.

441
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: And the even better part of it is CNN we

442
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 5: reporting this week that Republican lawmakers are asking Elon Musk

443
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 5: can they please have a vote on dose cuts?

444
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: Please?

445
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 2: That is amazing?

446
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 4: Could we vote on something I want to.

447
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: Just talk about a second. So here we have Congress.

448
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: Giving up all of their power, right, all of their power,

449
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: not just in the executive branch, to a random dude.

450
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: Well he's a very rich random dude. Let's be honest.

451
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: What I think is so amazing is there been so

452
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: many wealthy people for so long who have been considered

453
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: to be boogeyman of the left or the right. The

454
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: Koch Brothers, George Soros, this guy just wanders in. He

455
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: doesn't even go here, right, he has three different you know,

456
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: he's Canadian South African Americans, who's three different passports. So

457
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't even have really any skin in the game here,

458
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: and he goes in, he gives Donald Trump a lot

459
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: of money, and then he gets to run the government

460
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: and really destroy it.

461
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 5: The push back on is he clearly has very financial

462
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: skin in the game. The guy made his fortune here

463
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 5: at The Washington Post reports that he oversee.

464
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: With subsidies with governments.

465
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 5: Before we even get to the subsidies, the Washington Post

466
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: reports that he may have violated his visa in terms

467
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 5: of illegally working here when he shouldn't have been working here,

468
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 5: which is great because he's the champion against illegal immigration,

469
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 5: he's the champion against government waste and overspending. And yet,

470
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 5: according to the Post, thirty eight billion dollars he's made

471
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 5: in contracts and subsidies and tax credits over the last

472
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 5: couple of decades. He wouldn't be the richest man in

473
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 5: the world today were it not for the support at

474
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 5: certain points of the federal government, not just the federal government,

475
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 5: Democratic Party administrations. Barack Obama saved Tesla after the financial

476
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 5: crisis in two thousand and.

477
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: Nine, probably a mistake. Looking back on it, that probably

478
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: was a mistake.

479
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 5: I think many things the Democrats did visa vi Elon

480
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 5: Musk was a mistake. Funny though, because some people and

481
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 5: rocannor who's a congressman, I like a lot who's Silicon

482
00:22:58,440 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 5: Valley congressman?

483
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 4: He pushed this art which I think is nonsense. And

484
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 4: I've said this to Roe's face.

485
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: Well, he does represent that district.

486
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 4: And he says Democrats.

487
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 5: A lot of people pushed the argument Democrats were mean

488
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 5: to a Musk. They pushed him into the arms of

489
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: the Republican. First of all, he's a grown ass fan.

490
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 5: He has to take responsibility for his own decisions. To

491
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 5: amplify Nazis on his website, no one forced him to

492
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 5: do that. But number two Democrats actually soft on Musk.

493
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 4: I would take the exact opposite view.

494
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 5: Obama saved Musk back when Musk was pretending to be

495
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 5: Tony Stark. This great, I'm going to get us Tamar's guy.

496
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 5: And then even after he goes full right wing, they

497
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 5: just led him by Twitter. Did you notice that they

498
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 5: put no impediments, no sand in the wheels, twenty twenty

499
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 5: two Biden administration, Democrats in control of Congress. They just

500
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 5: let him buy Twitter. I give you this example. If

501
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 5: tomorrow George Soros was about to buy Fox, do you

502
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 5: think the Republican body would sit quietly and say, yeah,

503
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 5: sure you can buy it. They wouldn't haul him in

504
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 5: front of the sec various they would doj They wouldn't

505
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 5: do everything in their power to stop Soros from buying

506
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 5: their main communications platform. Democrats did nothing. And then after

507
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 5: Musk goes full fash, they didn't invite him.

508
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 4: People forget this.

509
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 5: Chuck Schumer invited Elon Musk to a meeting in his

510
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 5: office to discuss the future of AI with a bunch

511
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 5: of tech bosses while Musk was leading a full right

512
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 5: wing campaign against the Democratic body. So this is who

513
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 5: the Democrats are. Unfortunately, this is where I have no hope.

514
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 5: To go back to your early question, this party does

515
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 5: not understand the moment we're in. This party does not.

516
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: Know how to fight.

517
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 5: The leadership is the wrong leadership and needs to go asap.

518
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 5: Otherwise rules continue to be screwed.

519
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I would quibble with certain parts of.

520
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 4: That which wits the leadership.

521
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: No, I think for sure.

522
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: And this was the thing that got me quite mad

523
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 1: was that there was a sense in which, you know,

524
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: they campaigned that this is an emergency. Democracy is on

525
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: the ballot, which I actually think is completely true. Let

526
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: me recount a fight that I had with someone who

527
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: I am friendly with, who is a member who voted

528
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: for Jerry Connolly. And I said, really, said, you're going

529
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: to vote for Jerry Connolly as a ranking of oversight

530
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: over AOC who has millions.

531
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: Of people who follow her every move.

532
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: And he said, I O, Jerry, so yes, that kind

533
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 1: of bringing your stuff to animal to a knife fight.

534
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: We're polite where we operate in the statistico I hate

535
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: and I think is wrong. Dad said, I am not convinced.

536
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

537
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: I think that they need more focused and more aggressive leadership.

538
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: I think that it is possible that hikeim can get there.

539
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 4: Come on what evidence? Do you know? That?

540
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 5: This is the man who said Donald Trump's captain chaos,

541
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 5: which is a joke.

542
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: Well that was really stupid.

543
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 5: This is the man who, when asked about Eric Adams

544
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 5: being held hostage by the Trump DOJ, said what's up

545
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 5: to New York As to decide. This is a man

546
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 5: who this week, apparently according to Axios, in private, has

547
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 5: been dressing down Democrats who made noise during the Congressional address, saying,

548
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 5: you know, we need to respect the office's presidency and

549
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 5: not act like that.

550
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 4: Come on, all.

551
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 2: Right, maybe not? I don't know.

552
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there are some Democrats in office

553
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: who have been doing a really good job, like Chris Murphy. Right,

554
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: there's one Chris Murphy, Brian Jotts, AOC, Maxwell Frost, Jasmine Crockett,

555
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: and that's it.

556
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: Jamie Raskin.

557
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: No, I mean there are some, but I'm not convinced.

558
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: You have to have the best communicator as the head

559
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: of the party, Necessariah lay. You need to have a

560
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: head of the party who doesn't hold you back, which

561
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: what you're saying is a good point about Jefferies.

562
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 6: Though I don't know.

563
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 2: I was a little bit heartened.

564
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: I have been very down on him, and I was

565
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: a little bit hardened that yesterday he did, in fact

566
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: do this little video where he seemed like he was

567
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: starting to take this seriously, taking the challenges more seriously.

568
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: But again, I defer to you on this because you

569
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: seem more passionate.

570
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 5: That doesn't mean anything. I'm passionate about everything. I'massionate about

571
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 5: what I'm gonna f Lungelo and fast.

572
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: I'm passionate about that. I have to wait a few

573
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 4: hours to eat. Well.

574
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 5: Look, if we can continue pressuring him, maybe he'll.

575
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: Improved, and that is ultimately has to be the goal.

576
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: So anyway, thank you, Maddy. I hope you'll come back.

577
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 4: Thank you definitely if you'll have me.

578
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: Congressman Jared Moscowitz represents Florida's twenty third district. Welcome back

579
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: to Fast Politics.

580
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 2: Representative moscow it's what's going on, Mollie. I don't know.

581
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. Explain to me what's

582
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 2: going on?

583
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 6: Hold on, you seem confused.

584
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 2: What's wrong? I am with that word.

585
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: I am as confused as James Comber reading a book.

586
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 6: He's angry these days. Have you seen Comber in com

587
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 6: I mean he's yelling at members, he's throwing them out.

588
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 2: Why is he angry?

589
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 6: He won He's angry because he's James Comer. I mean,

590
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 6: if I was Comber, I'd be pissed.

591
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: Let's sort of talk this through Donald Trump. He did

592
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: a State of the Union you're not supposed to call

593
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: it a state of the Union because it's the first one.

594
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: He is terrifing us. Explain to us what you think

595
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: this guy is up to.

596
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not a psychologist, and I don't know

597
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 6: how much time we have. You know, he gave a speech.

598
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 6: It was not a state of the Union. It was

599
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 6: not a state or union. And it was a borderline

600
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 6: not even borderline. It really was a campaign speech. It was,

601
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 6: you know, relitigating all the things he said about Joe

602
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 6: Biden on the campaign trail. It was a red meat speech,

603
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 6: and I think that was intentional. I think it was

604
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 6: a red meat speech in order to rally his troops,

605
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 6: not to unify the country, not to appeal to independence,

606
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 6: not to try to figure out what Democrats he might

607
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 6: be able to work with. It was to appeal to

608
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 6: the base, who right now is upset over how some

609
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 6: of dose is executing these firings, especially with veterans. I

610
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 6: think he was trying to rally the base because his

611
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 6: people go to the grocery store and the price of

612
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 6: eggs or the price of gold, every egg is a

613
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 6: Faberge egg now, right he was trying to appeal to them.

614
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 6: You know, they saw the tariffs, they saw the stock

615
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 6: market go down, they were worried about their fourwin k

616
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 6: So I think he was giving them a pep rally

617
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 6: to rally the troops. I also think he was trying

618
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 6: to talk to the people in the caucus. He's got

619
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 6: to try to figure out how to keep government open

620
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 6: next week, and he's pitching for them to vote for

621
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 6: a clean CR, something Republicans don't want to do, hate doing.

622
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 6: Historically thirty forty members vote against. And so I think

623
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 6: that was the intent of his speech.

624
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: And I think it's important just to pause for a

625
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: second and remember that actually there is no CR yet.

626
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: It's supposed to come over the weekend.

627
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: Right. It does strike me.

628
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: That nobody is in any kind of rush, despite the

629
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: fact that the government shuts down in what fourteen days,

630
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: twelve days.

631
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 6: E's going bever the weekend when Congress is not in

632
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 6: session or here, and that's really when we do our

633
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 6: best work, quite frankly, Molly, is when oh, yes, we're

634
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 6: not even here.

635
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

636
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

637
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson has always seemed to me to be a

638
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: person who is not great at math, but sometimes he's

639
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: been able to get stuff done like, for example, when

640
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: he passed this reconciliation, which has eight hundred and eighty

641
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: billion dollars cut over ten years for Medicaid, explained to

642
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: us that was a situation where they didn't have the votes.

643
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: They had the votes, they didn't have the votes reporting

644
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: said that actually just Trump called up members of Congress

645
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: and told them did basically Mike Johnson's job right whipping

646
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: the vote.

647
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I think Trump is obviously he's the president,

648
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 6: but I think he's also the de facto speaker of

649
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 6: the House. I think I think Mike Johnson will do

650
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 6: what Trump asks, and I don't think Mike Johnson will

651
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 6: do something Trump doesn't want. And so what we're going

652
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 6: to watch in this timeline that we're all stuck on,

653
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 6: what we're going to watch is we're going to watch

654
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 6: thirty or forty Republicans who have stood on principle, whether

655
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 6: we agree or disagree, stood on principle against CRS because

656
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 6: they don't believe that's how government should be funded. They

657
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 6: believe in single subject spending bills that they don't want

658
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 6: to vote for the Nancy Pelosi COVID spending bill, which

659
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 6: is what that's the budget. We're using if you do

660
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 6: a CR. That's been their position. We're going to watch

661
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 6: Trump come to the Hill tell them that they need

662
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 6: to vote for a clean CR. Trump's going to lobby

663
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 6: them to do it, and we're gonna watch all of

664
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 6: these folks just fold and do what Trump wants. I

665
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 6: can tell you I'm not voting for a clean CR

666
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 6: next week.

667
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: And you're not known to be a wild leftist, So

668
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: tell us why you're not voting for a clean CR.

669
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

670
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 6: I'm not voting for a clean CR for two reasons.

671
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 6: One is whether I like the results of the election

672
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 6: or not. I think the American people voted against the

673
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 6: status quo, and so a CR is the status quo.

674
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 6: It's literally just continuing to do what we've been doing,

675
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 6: which is the American people have said we don't want. Okay,

676
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 6: Mike Johnson promised to do spending bills, he promised his caucus.

677
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 6: It was a commitment he made to the Freedom Caucus,

678
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 6: and he's gonna go against that. That's number one. Number two,

679
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 6: it's a trap because whether you like Doge or you

680
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 6: don't like Doge, you think the mission of Doze is right,

681
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 6: but you think the execution of Doze is wrong, which

682
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 6: is actually what the majority of American people look like.

683
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 6: They believe. About seventy five plus percent of Americans believe

684
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 6: in the mission of Jos, but only thirty four percent

685
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 6: of Americans believe in how they're doing it. They claim

686
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 6: they found, you know, one hundred billion dollars worth of fraud, waste,

687
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 6: and abuse.

688
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: But it's impossible to substantiate any of that.

689
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's not argue that for a second. That's what

690
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 6: they say, Molly, So let's just for this conversation take

691
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 6: them at their word. What Mike Johnson is proposing is

692
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 6: to refund all that fraud, waste, and abuse. And there

693
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 6: is no way on God's green Earth. And I am

694
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 6: going to walk myself into a trap where someone could

695
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 6: say we found that they were sending condoms to Gaza,

696
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 6: which we know is not true. They we found that

697
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 6: they were sending condoms to Gaza or Sesame Street in Iraq,

698
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 6: or they were making transgender mice, also not true.

699
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: Right, those mice are actually a different anyway, It doesn't

700
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: point matter, but the point of the mices.

701
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 6: And Jared Moskowitz voted to refund all of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

702
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 6: I'm out walking into that trap, and so listen. They

703
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 6: have been telling us for months now that they have

704
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 6: a mandate, which, to be clear to my Republican friends,

705
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 6: a mandate is not when me and Tim burd should

706
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 6: go to dinner, right. A mandate, okay, is that they

707
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 6: feel they won the House to senate the presidency. They

708
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 6: won the popular vote. They have a mandate, but they

709
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 6: only have a three vote majority in the House. So

710
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 6: go pass it. Do it on your own. You don't

711
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 6: need us, you're not talking to us, you're not negotiating

712
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 6: with us. Do it on your own.

713
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: They can't do it on their own, though, well.

714
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 6: Look, don't say that, Molly. If the President really comes

715
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 6: down on them, it appears at this moment the only one,

716
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 6: and I disagree with him on just about everything, the

717
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 6: only one that has any principle is Thomas Massey. Right.

718
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 6: The entire Freedom Caucus, which has not voted for a

719
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 6: CR since I've been here, has railed against the CR

720
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 6: as the devil's milk and you know it, the Satan's this.

721
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 6: It looks like they're about that is rollover and capitulate,

722
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 6: and that's just where we are. It's a party of

723
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 6: one and they're going to give the president whatever he wants.

724
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So then oh.

725
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 6: And they're gonna add the debt. Molly, how about that one? Right?

726
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 6: The Reconciliation Bill is going to add trillions of dollars

727
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 6: to the debt. A cr will add trillions of dollars

728
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 6: to the debt. And yet you know, somehow they want

729
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 6: to talk to us about how the country's bankrupt.

730
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well no, I mean, obviously there's so many lies here.

731
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to farce what is real and what is

732
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 1: not real?

733
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 6: Right?

734
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 2: What is the sort of priorities here?

735
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like they're like, it's an emergency, it's an

736
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: oil emergency. But we're the largest exporter of lergy, right,

737
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: loquified natural gas. Obviously it is an emergency when they

738
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: want something, not an emergency when it doesn't. But it

739
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: seems like we're hurtling towards the shutdown. But there are

740
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: and this happened in Troum one point zero. There are

741
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: all these unintended consequences of trump Ism. For example, there's

742
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: some measles outbreak. This is, you know, insane. In Texas,

743
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: we have RFK Junior saying that CODs liver oil is

744
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: an excellent treatment.

745
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 6: It's not, well, Miley, you're not taking that. I've been

746
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 6: taking that now for years and it keeps the spirits away.

747
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 2: I'm just going to say that because I'm a normal person.

748
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: I got vaccinated and then I ended up having to

749
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: get vaccin again because I was born in that weird

750
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: period where the vaccine didn't work. So I just had

751
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: my numbers check to make sure that I'm vaccinated because

752
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: measles is coming.

753
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 6: I mean, the best part about that whole thing, by

754
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 6: the way, is our of case children are vaccinated.

755
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: Of course, he's not an idiot, He's just a Charlottan.

756
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: So we have measles. We have a trade war. China

757
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: just said they're ready to go to war with us

758
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: on trade.

759
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 6: Yeah bye, I like that. China was giving us options.

760
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 6: So like, whichever type of war you would like, we

761
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 6: are ready.

762
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: Okay.

763
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: We have Trump tweeting about moss, because why wouldn't he.

764
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: It strikes me that we are hurtling towards a number

765
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: of bad outcomes, none of which are necessary discuss.

766
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 6: Well, I look, this is did by design. Okay, it's

767
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 6: by design. It's always been by design, and Steve Vannon

768
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 6: has talked about this a lot to flood, the zone, overload,

769
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 6: create chaos.

770
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 4: You know.

771
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 6: I mean, yesterday the market goes down six hundred points,

772
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 6: today it goes up five hundred points, born or eighty

773
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 6: five points, whatever it is. This is the chaos they're creating.

774
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 6: Canada is gonna become the fifty first state. Governor Trudeau,

775
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 6: We're getting greenland. We need greenland, Panama Canal Gaza is

776
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 6: gonna be the Riviera. You're gonna bring your whole family

777
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 6: to Gaza, Disney Gaza. This is the whole thing you

778
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 6: know that we're doing. Oh, we're putting on tariffs, a

779
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 6: little bit of pain. Oh, but today we're taking off

780
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 6: auto tariffs because you know, the auto manufacturers weren't happy,

781
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 6: and let's create all this chaos. And while we're doing that,

782
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 6: we're doing other things that no one's talking about. And

783
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 6: that's why, you know, and some people disagree with me,

784
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 6: but that's why I've just operated that we can't always

785
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 6: be at a ten like, we can't always be at

786
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 6: a ten like I can't be constantly outraged every hour

787
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 6: of the day. I need to figure out levels of outrage. Okay,

788
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 6: this is a seven, this is an eight, this is

789
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 6: a ten. Everything can't be a constitutional crisis. If you

790
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 6: disregard the Supreme Court, that's a constitutional crisis. If you

791
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 6: disregard a lower court, we appeal. And so I know

792
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 6: everyone's to be like, no, this needs to be all

793
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 6: hands on deck all the time, screaming, yelling, going crazy.

794
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 6: And I'm going to tell you that's not going to

795
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 6: work in a messaging communications war, which is what we

796
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 6: are in. We are in a messaging communications war. And

797
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 6: if you don't think that's true, just look at last night.

798
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 6: Who won that messaging war?

799
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 2: Who won that messaging war?

800
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 6: He did? He won that messaging war last night.

801
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: And tell me why and how?

802
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 6: Because he had the microphone. If it's tough to battle

803
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 6: with a person who literally has the microphone when you don't,

804
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 6: and when he's putting people up there that have childhood

805
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 6: cancer and who have buried children.

806
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: I just have a question about the childhood cancer for

807
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: a minute. So that poor kid TJ has cancer, but

808
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: they have frozen ANIH funding that funds childhood cancer research.

809
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 6: Oh my god, you're one hundred percent right, Molly. But

810
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 6: here's a question to you. Do you think the proper

811
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 6: thing then would have been to stand and clap for

812
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 6: DJ and then immediately sit down and put out an

813
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 6: X out of press release, go to the cameras and say,

814
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 6: we pray for DJ, but Donald Trump took away funding

815
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 6: to try to cure what DJ has in other people. Yes,

816
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 6: that's how I think we should have handled it. I

817
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 6: think you're right.

818
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because the thing is, if we learned anything from

819
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, it's that if you don't respond to

820
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: every lie, if you don't flood the zone with facts,

821
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: after you know, the zone is flooded with shit. Unfortunately

822
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: for you guys, there is no mainstream media, so you

823
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: have to go in there and be like, this kid

824
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: has cancer. It's terrible. Wouldn't it be good if we

825
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: were focused on medical research and not cutting medical research

826
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: By the way, he got it from being exposed to chemicals,

827
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 1: chemicals that Donald Trump is bragging about cutting regulation of.

828
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 2: No, I agree, there's going to be more tjs.

829
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 6: Yeah. When I talk about who won the messaging war yesterday,

830
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 6: this is a good example. Yes, correct the reason why

831
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 6: this is a key point, and not everyone has to

832
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 6: agree with me. I'm not the most progressive member, but

833
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 6: I do understand messaging and the reason this is a

834
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 6: key point is because we are in the minority in

835
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 6: the House, and we have weakened the minorities power in

836
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 6: the House over years. We've weakened the House in general,

837
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 6: Congress over a period of years, and so a lot

838
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 6: of people are looking at Democrats saying, do more, do more,

839
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 6: do something. There isn't much we can do in Congress, right.

840
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 6: We can file bills, they don't get heard. We can

841
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 6: file amendments, they don't get heard. Okay. What we have

842
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 6: is we have the TV cameras, we have the Internet,

843
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 6: we have social media, we have podcasts. We can message

844
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 6: on bills on the floor, we can message on bills

845
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 6: in committee. We can talk to the American people, and

846
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 6: we have to out communicate them, and we have to

847
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 6: be smarter on how we do that. That is what

848
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 6: we have. We can organize in the streets. But as

849
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 6: far as what we can do within the chamber, okay,

850
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 6: there is almost no power at all for us to

851
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 6: do anything. And so messaging, messaging, messaging, messaging. There is

852
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 6: low hanging fruit here. The Republicans are firing veterans, right,

853
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 6: that's low hanging fruit. The price of eggs is more

854
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 6: now than it was during Joe Biden I thought we

855
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 6: were fixing that on day one, low hanging fruit inflation.

856
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 6: We're gonna fix that on day one, low hanging fruit,

857
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 6: the tariffs which are gonna make goods more expensive for Americans,

858
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 6: low hanging fruit, over and over and over again. We

859
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 6: should be talking about it.

860
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, I just don't understand why you guys aren't.

861
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 6: I think right now we're caught up in this idea

862
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 6: that we're hearing from our constituents and from activists of like,

863
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 6: you do more, do more, right, And so this idea

864
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 6: of doing more doesn't mean what we're doing is smart.

865
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: Right, But I do think more. I mean, this is

866
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: like the fundamental problem here right. One of the things

867
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: that I'm struck by when I talk to Democrats in

868
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: Congress is that there's a lot of feeling like, oh,

869
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 1: we have to get this message right, and I don't

870
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 1: think you do. I just think you need to get

871
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: it out. Look, you're never going to be Trump, right.

872
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: The rules of political gravity do not apply to Donald

873
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 1: Trump for whatever reason.

874
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 6: And he's got the bully pulpit and he knows how

875
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 6: to use it.

876
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 2: Yes, for sure. But here's the thing.

877
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: I believe that there is a sort of sense in

878
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: which we have. Yes, he has the billy pulpit, Yes

879
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: he knows how to use it. But also he works

880
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 1: incredibly hard to like he works the media. He's constantly

881
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: talking to media, He's constantly letting media in. Meanwhile, democrats

882
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: are like so worried about is the message the right message?

883
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: Are we saying the right thing? What if democrats just

884
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: talk and just go out there and do one hundred interviews?

885
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: Like do they need to be quite as controlled and

886
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: fearful as they are? Like should Al Green have screamed

887
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:57,919
Speaker 1: at that thing?

888
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

889
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: Al Green's tried to impeach Trump like fifteen times, but

890
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: the reality is like he did it, and I actually

891
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: think more is probably a little bit better.

892
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 6: The strategy you're highlighting I agree with, right, which is

893
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 6: we can't be afraid to communicate because we might make

894
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 6: a mistake. Lord knows, I've had to delete some tweets

895
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 6: over time, okay, And so we can't be afraid to communicate,

896
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 6: So we can't be in our bubble. We can't only

897
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 6: talk to friendly media. Also, right, we got to go out,

898
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 6: We got to communicate over and over and over and

899
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 6: over again, and we got to try different messages, throw

900
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 6: things at the wall, figure out what sticks. That's what

901
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 6: they do, right, cry all of these things. I totally

902
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 6: agree with that, But we also shouldn't make it easy

903
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 6: for them when we try to do something for them

904
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 6: to just you know, give them a gift. And I

905
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 6: think there were some instances yesterday where we gave them gifts.

906
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: What are you thinking about?

907
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 6: Well again, I just I think that, you know, forget

908
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 6: what individual members did. I think we should have separated

909
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 6: Donald Trump from his guests.

910
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: And explained the ways in which Trump is going to

911
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: hurt these people. I mean that, I just don't understand

912
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: how you don't thread the needle on that, Like he's

913
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: advertising people who's actively hurt.

914
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 6: We gave them a gift. Here was the message. The

915
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 6: message was Democrats are so out of touch they couldn't

916
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 6: even stand for a kid with cancer, right, Okay, that

917
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 6: was a gift, sure.

918
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean I think more of the question is like,

919
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 1: why is there not more research going to cancer funding?

920
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: Why is Elon Musk holding the federal government hostage?

921
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: How is that? Okay?

922
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 6: All the one hundred percent and so members that are

923
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 6: going out there today talking about it, Okay, they're talking

924
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 6: about it. I'm talking about it, they're talking about it.

925
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 6: We're out there saying they're cutting cancer research. I mean,

926
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 6: my dad died of pancreatic cancer. The issue now is

927
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 6: you say that and the first thing they say is

928
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 6: did you stand for the kid with cancer?

929
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 2: Right?

930
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 6: We can say this is silly standing or not standing,

931
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 6: but you know, look, I'm a parent, I'm a parent.

932
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 6: A lot of us are parents, and there are some

933
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 6: things that cut through. There are times where I don't

934
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,479
Speaker 6: hear from some of my friends for a while. They're

935
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 6: not really political. When I hear from them, I know

936
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 6: a message broke through, right, and I heard from them

937
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,399
Speaker 6: on the Hey, how come they didn't stand for that?

938
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 6: With that for that kid? And so we can think

939
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 6: this is all silly.

940
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 2: Right, but if it's getting through, it's getting through out.

941
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 6: But if it's getting through, it's getting through. My opinion

942
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 6: of it is irrelevant. That got through. It just made us.

943
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 6: We are not out of touch, right. We are the

944
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 6: party who cares about that. Okay. We are the party

945
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,879
Speaker 6: that cares about the working people, cares about the federal worker,

946
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 6: cares about government, cares about social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. We

947
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 6: are the party yet they are constantly being able to

948
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 6: show we're out of touch because we're making it easy

949
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 6: for them. Molly, that's all I'm saying.

950
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's there better than Democrats. I think

951
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: it's ease better, right, I mean, obviously Republicans or not.

952
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 6: They're better at messaging because he sets the message, they amplify, right.

953
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: So yes, and he's much better a performance, and that's

954
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: where we are. But he's also not bound to the truth. Right.

955
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: Imagine a Democrat being like, we're cutting cancer funding. Clap

956
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 1: for the cancer kids.

957
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 2: You monster.

958
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 6: If Donald Trump, from the microphone yesterday had said, you know,

959
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 6: everyone stand for DJ we're making you a secret service agent.

960
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 6: We're standing, and then Donald Trump said, and we're cutting

961
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 6: cancer funding. Okay, his members they would have stayed clapping. Okay,

962
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 6: but this is not news. We know that this was

963
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 6: like it was like this in the first term. It's

964
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 6: even worse in the second term. It's not news. So, yes,

965
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 6: the rules don't apply to him. Yes, you know, he

966
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,760
Speaker 6: can get away with stuff other people can't get away with. Okay,

967
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 6: but know that know that work around it, figure out

968
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 6: how we communicate. So anyways, we don't have to Harbor
