1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna wish a happy anniversary to somebody terrible talk 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: about the FBI. Julie Kelly's here January six, the hilarious 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: light in the mood, all that's coming up on them? Right? 4 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: Why do I warn so much about the FBI? Why 5 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: do I warn about you being turned into an enemy 6 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,239 Speaker 1: of the state. I talked about the dj FBI CIA. 7 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: I talk about democrat media rhetoric and the threat to democracy, 8 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: threat to democracy and democracy, and I warn about how 9 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: dangerous these things are. But what does that mean in 10 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: any kind of a practical sense, And what does that 11 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: mean for you? Going to work, kids, life, car dog, 12 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: what does it mean for you? Okay? I thought, as 13 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: as we get ready to talk about the FBI to 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: I thought we should celebrate a horrible anniversary because I 15 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: think it will help explain what it means, why it 16 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: frightens me. So you see today, one hundred and five 17 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: years ago, in December twentieth, nineteen seventeen, the Checha was formed. 18 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: You've heard me called the FBI that Checa a thousand times. 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: What was the Checha? Well, it's still a little history. 20 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: The Communists, the Bolsheviks fought a war in the Soviet 21 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: Union in Russia as they fought a civil war to 22 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: decide who would run the country, and the Communists ended 23 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,639 Speaker 1: up winning that war. Well, that was good for the Communists, Okay, 24 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: we won the country's ours. What was bad for the 25 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: Communists is frankly the same thing that's bad for communists 26 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: now now then always. Communism isn't popular. It's just not popular. 27 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: But it's not just that it doesn't work and it's 28 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: miserable and poverty and kills a bunch of people. This 29 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: is not very popular. Yeah, there'll be some people who 30 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: say that sounds great, but you're never going to get 31 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: anything close to a majority that would support something so evil. 32 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: When Demonic and the Bolsheviks quickly found out, oh my gosh, 33 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: we won the civil war, but these Russian people aren't 34 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 1: buying in. They didn't like the czar we overthrew, but man, 35 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: they don't like us either. So the Communists were faced 36 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: with the choice, Hey, what do we do. Do we 37 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: adjust our policies, do we adjust what we want to 38 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: do in order to placate the will of the people, 39 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: or do we simply kill a bunch of them? Do 40 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: we simply go on a terror campaign of torture and murder, 41 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: to kill all of our enemies and scare anybody into silence. 42 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: So I think you know, because you know the nature 43 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: of communists, because you watch this show, I think you 44 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: know the route they went. They decided to begin something 45 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: called the Cheka, the secret police, the state police. Now 46 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: you've undoubtedly heard of things like Hitler SS or the 47 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: KGB or the Stazi in East Germany. You've heard of 48 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: all these secret state police agencies. What you may not 49 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: know is every single one of them, all of them 50 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: are based off the Cheka, the checkas where it began. 51 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: So what did they do in the Checha? Oh, I 52 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: don't know. They divided up the Soviet Union, this big place. 53 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: They divided up into regions, and they would find anyone 54 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: and everyone who was considered to be an enemy and 55 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: they would murder them. And they existed completely outside of 56 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: the justice system. There needed to be no checking in. Hey, 57 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: we'd like to murder this guy, pull his fingernails out. 58 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, no, no no no. The Cheka 59 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: had total power to kill, torture anyone they wanted. They 60 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: only answered to Stalin and the different regions. It's actually 61 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: really really sick and brutal. But the different regions had 62 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: different methods of torture, and they actually prided themselves on 63 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: competing with the other regions on how they tortured people, 64 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: how they killed people. Some would put you in a 65 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: wooden barrel and punch a bunch of nails through the 66 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: side of the barrels, so you know, you're already picturing this, 67 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: and then they would turn the barrel over and roll 68 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: you around for a while in it. Some this was 69 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: one of the more famous ones. Some would take your 70 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: hand you're alive, they would put it in a pot 71 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: of boiling water and boil the skin on your hand. 72 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: Then your skin would be all boiled and all loose, 73 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: and then they would carve the skin off of your 74 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: hand when they pulled it out of there, and one piece. 75 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: They actually did this so often they could carve it 76 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: out in one piece. And then they would walk around 77 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: in front of you as you're an agonizing pain without 78 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: skin on your hand anymore, wearing the skin of your 79 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: hand as a glove, mocking you to your face. I 80 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: could go on, but I think I'll stop there. They 81 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: burned people alive, boiled people alive. You know, secret police 82 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 1: agencies that don't have to worry about the justice system 83 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: really turn out to be very very very murderous, very 84 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: very dangerous things. And I thought it would be appropriate 85 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: on this state to just give you a little brief 86 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: history on the cheka, because you don't fully appreciate just 87 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: how dangerous the situation is here in the United States 88 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: of America with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And when 89 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: you tell people that, when you tell people, man, we're 90 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: right on the cusp, We're right on the cusps, people 91 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: will undoubtedly roll their eyes. Oh that's so over the top. 92 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: Oh Jesse, what are you talking about. We're not even 93 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: close to that. You know, the Federal Bureau of Investigation 94 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: not only spies on you, The Federal Bureau of Investigation 95 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: has a gigantic number of people dedicated to coordinating with 96 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: the various social media companies out there to make sure 97 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: your views, any Republican views, any views about the election 98 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: or COVID that aren't considered the norm. They have a 99 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: plan to silence you. Not only did they have a 100 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: plan to silence you, now know they paid three point 101 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: four million dollars to Twitter between October of twenty nineteen. 102 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: In February and twenty twenty one for their time. Well, 103 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: what's that mean paying them for their time? They had 104 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: to pay Twitter for their time. Because the FBI had 105 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: sent over so many names of right wingers they wanted banned, 106 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: right wingers they wanted silenced, the Twitter had to use 107 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: so much of its personnel time. The FBI ended up 108 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: having to shell out millions of dollars to pay Twitter 109 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: for doing the censoring the FBI wanted censored. They did 110 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: the best they could to paint all this is fighting 111 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: against Russia, right, It's always Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. It's 112 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: a Russian attack, Russia intelligence, Russia's hacking the election. But 113 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: we dug into it while they dug into it, and 114 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: we found there was very very little Russia in there 115 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: at all. It had nothing to do with Russia. It 116 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: had everything to do with you. It had everything to 117 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 1: do with who the FBI considers to be the enemy 118 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: of the state. So let me ask you something. We 119 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: have an FBI censoring you, We have a president calling 120 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: you a threat to democracy, a threat to the foundations 121 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: at the republic. We have a doj in charge of 122 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: the FBI who agrees with all of those things. Are 123 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: you starting at all to fully appreciate where this is 124 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: going and where it's going really really, really fast in 125 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: this country. We now know something else too. Why shouldn't 126 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: say we now know we have final confirmation now of 127 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: something that if you watch this show every night, you 128 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: knew a long long time ago. You knew this back 129 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: in August. We know that the FBI. They didn't go 130 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: to Twitter in Facebook after the Hunter Biden's story was 131 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: published and said, hey, m we looked into this and 132 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: we think it's Russian disinformation. You put the kaibosh on that. No, 133 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: you see, their intelligence, their domestic spying operation is so vast. 134 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: They knew about this before the story was published, and 135 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: they preempted the story going to these social media companies 136 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: telling them, hey, don't run this story. It may look 137 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: bad for Papa Joe. But again, if you were watching 138 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: this show, like my interview with Margot Cleveland in August, 139 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: you knew all this. This is old news for you. 140 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: Everyone knew the story was going to drop. The FBI 141 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: knew it, Biden knew it. Hunter Biden knew it. It 142 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: was in the story that they reached out. Our FBI 143 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: lied to the media to get them to censor a 144 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: story that directly impacted the twenty twenty election. This is outrageous. 145 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: That's not the worst of it. The worst of it 146 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: is fifty five zero former intelligence officials joined with the 147 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: FBI to have the information censored. You see, you've been 148 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: following the Twitter files, and we've talked about all these 149 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: dates and names and times and all these things. You've 150 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: been following the Twitter files, and you should and you 151 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 1: think this is some story about Twitter or social media. 152 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: But this is a story about the Central Intelligence Agency. 153 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: This is a story about the NSA. This is a 154 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: story about the FBI. This is a story about the 155 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: National security Apparatus of the United States of America, locking shields, 156 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: deciding your in enemy of the state, and declaring war 157 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: on you, and the things you believe. We talk about 158 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: James Baker, or used to work for the FBI, then 159 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: used to used to work for Twitter, and then he 160 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: got fired from Twitter. And James Baker, he's a human 161 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: being who should be rotting in federal prison for the 162 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: rest of his life. But he's not. Kevin Kleinsmith, FBI lawyer, 163 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: live FISA warrant should be in federal prison the rest 164 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: of his life, but he's not. In fact, he didn't 165 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: even get disbarred. He's back to practicing law. You see, 166 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: people think that I'm extreme or over the top and hyperbole, 167 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: and I'm here to tell you the Federal Bureau of 168 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: Investigation cannot continue to exist anymore in any fashion, or 169 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: it will end the United States of America. And it's 170 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: almost undoubtedly the same can be true of the CIA 171 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: and Essay and virtually our entire national security apparatus. These 172 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: people are now wholly politicized, wholly politicized against you. They 173 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: work hand in hand with not only social media, with 174 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: the media of this country to lie and censor. Remember 175 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: when the media ran this campaign for Hunter Biden, they 176 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: did so at the direction and behest of the FBI. 177 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: Biden secret emails a really fishy story. The Post claimed 178 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: that the emails were found on a laptop computer that 179 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: was brought to a repair shop in Delaware in the 180 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: spring of twenty nineteen. The FBI is now investigating with 181 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: those alleged hunder by An emails are actually connected to 182 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: a larger foreign intelligence operation. They may be related to 183 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: a foreign intelligence operation, foreign intelligence operation, foreign intelligence foreign intelligence, 184 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: foreign intelligence operation. For all we know, these emails are 185 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: made up. The information found on the laptop maybe part 186 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: of a Russian disinformation campaign, part of a Russian disinformation 187 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: effort described by many intelligence experts as having hallmarks, all 188 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: the hallmarks rather all the hallmarks of a Russian or 189 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: Russian Russian disinformation Russian disinformation disinformation campaign. This is a 190 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: classic example of the right wing media machine. All that 191 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: may have made you uncomfortable, but I'm right, and I'm 192 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: sorry to say it. The Great Julie Kelly joins us next, 193 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: And if you think I made you uncomfortable, way to 194 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: you see what the Republicans are working on with the 195 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: Democrats in the United States Senate. It stinks. You know 196 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: what it needs. It needs Eason pure thunderstorm. That's what 197 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: they need to do with this big omnibus bill because 198 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: the smell is so bad.

But if anything can do it, 200 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,239 Speaker 1: Eden Pure, maybe we'd have to plug in two or three. 201 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: We need to put the big omninimibus bill in a big, 202 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: big stack. If we just need to plug Eden Pure 203 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: thunderstorms around it because it kills viruses and mold and 204 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: the entire thing is one big sickness and maybe Eden 205 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: Pure can save the country.

It's delivered 218 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 1: by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear 219 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: your very own PDB in the form of a podcast 220 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 221 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 222 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 223 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 224 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: start your morning. Or the January sixth Committee did a 225 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: tremendous job from beginning to end. The fact that they 226 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: were able to conduct this type of inquiry with such intent, fessure, 227 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: and maintain the dignity of it all was incredible and 228 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: I think we'll go down in history as one of 229 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: the most important moments of congressional inquiry ever in the Republic. Okay, 230 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: joining me now, friend of the show, Julie Kelly, also 231 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: author of the book January sixth, which I highly recommend 232 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: you read, Julie. Okay, they say we're going to get 233 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: the full report tomorrow, all right, what should we be 234 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: looking for? So, actually, Jesse, just to back up, we're 235 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: not getting the full report. We were told originally that 236 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: when the report was issued, it would have with it 237 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: a one thousand or so transcribed interviews with witnesses. You 238 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: can now see Benny Thompson backing away from that. Those 239 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: important transcripts, which should include Ray Epps, by the way, 240 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: will be buried at the end of the year, so 241 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: the full report will land with a thud tomorrow. They 242 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: already released one hundred and sixty page executive summary. What 243 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: we should be looking for aside from just the nonstopped 244 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: targeting and accusations false accusations against Donald Trump is the 245 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: real question as that Americans have. Why was the Capitol 246 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: building left so intentionally unsecure on January sixth, even though 247 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: it's clear now that law enforcement and intelligence agencies had 248 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: warnings that something could be happening. What happened to the 249 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: pipe bomber? You know, that was a big story early on. 250 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: They accused a Trump supporter of planting explosive devices outside 251 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: the headquarters of DNC and RNC, which is just a 252 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: few blocks east of the Capitol that prompted the first evacuations. 253 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: That story has completely disappeared, and the January sixth committee 254 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: did not even address it. Also, of course, what about 255 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: these uncharged provocateurs, not just right ups, but a lot 256 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: of men seen on video provoking violence. We still don't 257 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: know their identities and they certainly have not been charged. Okay, Julie, 258 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: I know you've covered this before, but they always have 259 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: new viewers on here. What do we think about people 260 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: like ray Epps and others? What I know, we're never 261 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: going to know because again they're burying things. What do 262 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: we think about these guys? Well, I mean I think 263 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: it's worthy to ask the questions, especially when you saw 264 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: lawmakers like Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton and Tom Massey 265 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: bring up Rays the January sixth committee, and the media 266 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: immediately came to ray Epps's defense. That was weird, Jesse, 267 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: because of course, anyone who stepped foot near Washington, DC 268 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: on January sixth and was a Trump supporter is a 269 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: domestic terrorist, is an insurrectionist, is a trader. But all 270 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they were saying, like, leave ray ups alone. 271 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: So he still don't have answers, he's still not charged. 272 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: And Jesse, here's the thing. This FBI continues to arrest 273 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: people every week, this DJ continues to bring criminal charges. 274 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: Were almost at a thousand defendants. DJ has warned that 275 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: this sprawling, unprecedented criminal investigation could snare two thousand Trump supporters, 276 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: Americans lawfully for the most part, protesting the afternoon of 277 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: January sixth. So this is not going away. But the 278 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: real questions that Americans have, and especially people on our side, 279 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 1: they are not going to be answered. They are going 280 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: to be covered up and buried in this report. Julie, 281 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: you say that the ray Epps testimony is going to 282 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 1: be buried before the end of the year. Well, we're 283 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: about to have a GOP controlled house such as it is, 284 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: can't they dig it up? They should. But here's what 285 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: I suspect, Jesse, is that a lot of these transcripts 286 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: are going to be handed over to the DOJ or 287 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: the imaginary Special Council Jack Smith, who isn't even in 288 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: the country, he's in the Netherlands, that they are going 289 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: to be handed over to DOJ where they will be 290 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: concealed from House Republicans investigators as part of evidence in 291 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: their ongoing criminal investigation. Because look, there's a lot you 292 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: saw at cherry picked quotes. You saw a lot of 293 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 1: cherry picked clips throughout this eighteen month performance. But of 294 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: course everything has a context. So once they release the 295 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: full transcripts, we'll be able to see what the January sixth, 296 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: if what they presented was true, or of course, if 297 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: it was part of their spin. And I suspect, as 298 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure you do, it's the latter Julie four charges 299 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: against Donald Trump from the DOJ up to forty years 300 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: potentially in prison. I'm seeing a whole lot of cope 301 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: out there from people saying, well, it's gonna go nowhere. 302 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: It's gonna go nowhere, Julie, would you please explain to 303 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: people why it's very much going to go somewhere. Well, 304 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: first of all, the DOJ has a near perfect record 305 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: before DC Juries the trials. First trial started in March. 306 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: You have guilty verdicts on every single count for every 307 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 1: single defendant in record time. You have two america who 308 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: are convicted of seditious conspiracy, one who didn't even go 309 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: inside the building. No American has ever been convicted of 310 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 1: seditious conspiracy Jesse in the history of that statute. Yet 311 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: you have two men who were convicted, and you've got 312 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: five men on trial right now for the same charge. 313 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: You have juries made up of a city that has 314 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: a residence ninety three percent of whom voted for Joe Biden, 315 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: and almost everyone has a tie to the federal government. 316 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: The people in Washington, DC took the events of January 317 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: sixth very personally. They have nothing but contempt for Trump 318 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: and his supporters, and that is mirrored by the DC 319 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: District Court and these judges who are nothing but a 320 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: rubber stamp for this government. So this is the sort 321 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: of I call it legal and judicial circle of hell. 322 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: That Donald Trump will be walking right into So the 323 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: idea that he won't be indicted by a grand jury 324 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: made up of DC residence and won't be convicted is 325 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: people are I don't want to say delusional, they're just 326 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: not fully understanding what's happening in Washington, DC right now. Okay, no, 327 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: I'll call him delusional. Julie doesn't have to, she's too nice, 328 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: but I'm not. You're delusional if you think he's not 329 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: going down all right? Is he going to be arrested? 330 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: I have always thought, just based on their history, things 331 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: they've done a thousand times over, whether it's pro lifers 332 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: or Roger Stone or anybody, I've not only thought they're 333 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: going to arrest him, They're going to arrest him on camera, 334 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: because that's what they do. I highly suspect that they will, 335 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: because look, this is what they have told their base 336 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: for more than six years, This DOJ, this National security apparatus. 337 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: Democrat lawmakers are going to gratify their bloodthirsty base with 338 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: photos of Donald Trump in handcuffs, going off to jail 339 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: and potentially going to jail for years if he's convicted 340 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: on these charges. And look, this DOJ does not care 341 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: about the rule of law. They don't care about common decency. 342 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 1: They are this is a bloodthirsty regime that wants to 343 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: take this country to the next level. People would ask me, well, 344 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: they don't they know what this will do to Trump 345 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: supporters and millions of Americans. They do. That's exactly what 346 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: they want. They want more resistance, they want more violence. 347 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: They want to continue to provoke this side so they 348 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: can justify their description of all of us as domestic terrorists. Julie, 349 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: on top of everything else, I can't believe it actually 350 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: gets worse the FBI very unsurprisingly. I don't know why 351 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: people are so surprised by this. We now know the FBI, 352 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: We have confirmation they worked hand in hand with Twitter, 353 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 1: inact fact, paid Twitter over three million dollars to censor 354 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: their political opponents. Do you think this might be the 355 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: very beginning of some kind of a GOP will to 356 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: completely eliminate this organization. It has to be, Jesse. I 357 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: know you and I have talked about this for months 358 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: or a few years. At least we know the FBI 359 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: is not salvageable simply because of what we have been covering. 360 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: But what the Twitter files are exposing is a totally 361 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: different level, things that we really suspected but did not know. 362 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: And so now we know the FBI was pulling the strings. 363 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: They were actually threatening these companies with seizure warrants if 364 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: they did not do as they were told. So and 365 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: this gets a lot more pervasive, Jesse, We're going to 366 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: see it wasn't just about Hunter Biden's laptop. It was 367 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: this whole collaboration, these tabletop exercises that were being conducted 368 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: throughout twenty twenty, not about the laptop, but how to 369 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: rig the election and then how to stoke violence after 370 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: the election if by chance, Donald Trump won. So this 371 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: is all coming to fruition. There is a lot more 372 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: that will shock, absolutely shock the American people once we 373 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: start more digging. The Twitter files will only go so far. 374 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: So it is up to House Republicans to do this 375 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: to every company. But also this doj and FBI because 376 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: they are really the villains here. Julie, we cannot possible 377 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: let you go without getting one final update. Well, another 378 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 1: update on the Gretchen whitmer that that kidnapping an assassination 379 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: attempt by those deranged MAGA people. Give us an update 380 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: on all that, Jesse, I want to thank you for 381 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: always asking about this. This is the uncovered story, biggest 382 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: uncovered story of twenty two, so thank you for continuing 383 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: to ask me about it. Anyone who now believes that 384 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 1: this was still legit knowing what you know about the 385 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: FBI is delusional. There, I'll say that DJ now is 386 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: asking for life in prison for the two convicted defendants 387 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: who are convicted at the second trial, life in prison, 388 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: even though they were completely set up at the by 389 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: the FBI. Their sentencing memo is a disgrace. It compares 390 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: these two men to Timothy McVey and to this the 391 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: two men who responsible for the Boston marathon terror attack. 392 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: These men were not anywhere near domestic terrorists. They were 393 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: set up by the same FBI that was in cahoots 394 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: with big tech and all these other interests in twenty twenty. 395 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: That sentencing is next week, so I will keep you 396 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: posted on that.

They're 427 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: moments where I think about voting Democrat. And I don't 428 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: mean like one or two. Hey, this guy's not so bad. 429 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: I have moments where I think about voting in every 430 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: election and voting straight ticket Democrat. Let me explain myself. 431 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: I am an anti communist. I despise the direction of 432 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: this nation, the bloated size of the government, the endless 433 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: cultural filth that's out there. I just the direction this 434 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: country has gone sickens me because I love this country 435 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: so much. And I want the Republican Party to go 436 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: to Washington, DC, and I want them to fight for 437 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,439 Speaker 1: me and my children. I want them to fight for 438 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 1: you and your children. But there's what I want, and 439 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: then there's what I get. You See, we have, on 440 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: top of inflation, which is crushing people right now, we 441 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: have a debt crisis. That is going to bring this 442 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: nation to its knees. It's without end. And right now, 443 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: as we speak, as you're sitting here watching me, Republicans, 444 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: at the direction of Mitch McConnell, Republicans are working hand 445 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 1: in hand with Democrats on a one point seven trillion 446 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: dollars omnibus bill that they will pass maybe tomorrow, maybe Thursday. Now. 447 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: I would love to sit here and break down for 448 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: you what's in this bill. But here's the thing. Nobody knows, 449 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: not Mitch McConnell, not Chuck Schumer, not Nancy Pelosi. Nobody knows. 450 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: It's not even available yet. Now we know some of 451 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: the high points. Don't worry. There's billions and billions of 452 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: dollars in there for insane things. We're going to provide 453 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 1: LGBTQ housing. I mean, no one even knows what that is. Oh, 454 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: we know why that would obviously get thrown in there. 455 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: I actually have no issue with that because gay is 456 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: the new religion of America. We are in the US 457 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: of gay, So clearly they're going to get to be 458 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: part of an omnibus bill. I wonder how much money 459 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: there is in there for churches. I don't see anything, right, now, 460 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: But anyway, we'll build gay housing centers and things like that. 461 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: And I see Mitch McConnell before the bill even existed, 462 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: coming out and preemptively pushing for it. If a truly 463 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 1: bipartisan full your bill without poison Pills is ready for 464 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: final Sate passage by late next week, then I'll support 465 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: it or our on courses particularly Otherwise we'll be passing 466 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: a short term continuing resolution into the new year. Of course, 467 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: for the troops, right, it's definitely worried about the troops. 468 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and Democrats. They stay up every single night 469 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: on their knees in prayer, praying for those troops overseas. 470 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: It's just about the troops. No, it's a one point 471 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: seven trillion dollars massive corruption bill with hand out after 472 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: handout after handout that it would make you sick. When 473 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: we finally go through this bill and break it down, 474 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: it's going to make you sick. We can't afford the bill. 475 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: It's a gigantic DC corruption bill. Washington DC Republicans like 476 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: John Cornyan, Mitch McConnell, John Thune, they'll join with the 477 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: Democrats to make sure they get the sixty votes. They 478 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: need to pass it, and once again we're going to 479 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: get stuck with the massive pile of grab Lindsay Graham's 480 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: already said he's all in for it, the same usual 481 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: group of losers. So back to the point I made 482 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: at the very beginning of this segment, I'm not going 483 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: to do it, at least not yet. I hope I 484 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: never do it. But I have had many, many, many 485 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: moments where I consider voting Democrat. Why Because if I'm 486 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: not going to get anybody who's going to go fight 487 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: the communists for me, then let's just get this thing 488 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: burnt down already and get the party started. This kind 489 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: of stuff as the most disheartened stuff ever. You work 490 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: with Democrats on gun control, you work with Democrats on 491 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: crushing spending bills, pork bills. Tell me again why I'm 492 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: supposed to support the Republican Party in any form. They 493 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: never do anything, they never veto anything. They didn't do 494 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: it from two. It's not like this is new either. 495 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: From twenty sixteen to twenty twenty, trillion dollars bill after 496 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: trillion dollars bills sailed through the House, sailed through the Senate. 497 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: Right to Trump's tests signed every single one of them, 498 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over again. 499 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: Tell me again why I'm supposed to care? All right, 500 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: I just had a little self pity party. It's had 501 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: to get that off by chest. Focus on yourself in 502 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: your community because Washington, DC, including the Republican Party, sucks. Now. 503 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: Part of the way we can focus on our community 504 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: is supporting businesses in our community that share our values 505 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: and avoiding the ones who do not. I make you uncomfortable. Look, 506 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: it's become part of my team. Once it becomes part 507 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: of your routine, you might just find yourself getting satisfaction 508 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: from it, getting satisfaction from knowing that you're putting your 509 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: money where your morals are, that you're being purposeful with 510 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: where you spend and don't spend your money. And there's 511 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,239 Speaker 1: a tool. Everyone asked Jesse, I wish there was a list. 512 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: Is there a list? Someone, Jesse, start a website. We 513 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: need a list. There is a list. Public ESQ did 514 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: it for us and ever growing database of businesses in 515 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: your area that share your values.

I got to go by this, this, and this. 521 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: Let's see what public sq has to say. Stop number one. 522 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: Go download it today from the app store. Public We'll 523 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: be back. Some things we're going to have to cut 524 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 1: back on, but we are fortifying ourselves for what we 525 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: believe a predictable it's gonna be predictable to receive a 526 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: massive increase per week of new assignment seekers and migraines. 527 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: You know, I've been frustrated throughout my life in public 528 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: safe service. I've never been more frustrated. Now this is 529 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: a national problem. El Paso shouldn't be going through this. 530 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: Chicago shouldn't be going through this. Washington, Houston cities should 531 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: not be carrying the weight of a national problem. This 532 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: is unfair to all of our cities to have to 533 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: go through this without any help from the national government 534 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 1: and the state government. Something am I in a dream 535 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: world here? I am nodding my head in agreement with 536 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: New York City Mayor Eric Adams. I don't know that 537 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: that's ever happened to me before, but he's right, it's 538 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,239 Speaker 1: absolutely right. Joining me now my friend John Phillips at 539 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: the Great John Phillips Show, and the man himself on 540 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: the New York City Council New York City City Council 541 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: Goop minority leader on that council, Joe Borelli, Joe, let's 542 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: begin with you, because we're leading off with your mayor 543 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: in your city. I can't believe I'm saying this, but 544 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: he's correct. I think it's ridiculous that El Paso or 545 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: New York City have to deal with illegal immigrants. I 546 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,520 Speaker 1: didn't hear him call out the party's responsible, but I 547 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: agree with this point. No, I think he does actually 548 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: deserve a little bit of kudos for elevating this problem 549 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: and being the sort of national Democratic spokesman for rational 550 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: policy at the border. You know, it's it's very easy 551 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: for me to criticize him. I spend most of my 552 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: day criticizing things the Adams administration does. But as you 553 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: point it out, he hits the nail on the head. 554 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: Every dollar we have to spend, and by the way, 555 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: our independent Budget Office, a nonpartisan budget office that we 556 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: have put the price tag out a billion dollars, So 557 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: every dollar we spend means that another dollar won't go 558 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: to cutting the grass in the parks, won't go to 559 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: our libraries, won't go to the police department, etc. He's 560 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: not wrong, and it's going to have a real impact 561 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: on all the programs by the way that his fellow 562 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: progressive Democrats like spending money on. John, I can't believe 563 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,879 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, but Gavin knew so well here 564 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: he is. The fact is, what we've got right now 565 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: is not working and is about to break in a 566 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: post forty two world unless we take some responsibility and ownership. 567 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: And I'm saying that as a Democrat. I'm not saying 568 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: that to point fingers. I'm saying that as a father. 569 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying that as someone that feels responsible for being 570 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: part of the solution. And I'm trying to do my 571 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: best here. John Phillips, you're a California man, as many 572 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: people know. Okay, so that's Eric Adams sounding pretty good 573 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: on immigration and Gavin knew some is are we in 574 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: the upside down here? Well? What's the saying where you 575 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: stand depends on where you sit. And when it was 576 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: held pass those problem it was real easy to say, 577 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: oh yeah, go ahead and have fun with that, deal 578 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,760 Speaker 1: with it. But when it became New York City's problem. 579 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden it got Eric Adams attention. 580 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: If you're Gavin Newsom, you are a frenemy of Joe Biden. 581 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: He says he's not going to run for president. We 582 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: all know he's waiting for the right opportunity to dump 583 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,360 Speaker 1: in that race and run for president. And the border 584 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: is Joe Biden's achilles heel. Joe Biden cannot go down 585 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: to the border right now because you cannot control what's 586 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: going to happen around you. It reminds me of what 587 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: happened with Sarah Palin that Thanksgiving when she was pardoning 588 00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: the turkey and she's there issuing your proclamation, and what's 589 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 1: going on over one of her shoulders. Turkeys are being 590 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: put in the woodchipper and it turned into a whole internet. Mean, 591 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: if you're a Joe Biden and your position is that 592 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: the border is safe and the border is secure, you 593 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: can't go there because you can't control what's going to 594 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: be in the frame that's going on behind you. If 595 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: he's there giving a speed saying that everything's fine, and 596 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 1: you see a coyote in thousands of people sneaking across 597 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: the border over his should He's gonna look like a 598 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: complete buffoon. But if you are Gavin Newsom, you have 599 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: nothing to lose. This is not your failure. This is 600 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: the Biden administration's failure. If you're Eric Adams, criticizing the 601 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: failure of the Biden administration, doesn't reflect poorly on you. 602 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: Cutting your city services reflects poorly on you. The border 603 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: that's Biden's problem. So right now they're absolutely standing in 604 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: line waiting their turn to kick Joe Biden in the crod, 605 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 1: and I, for one, am enjoying every minute of it. 606 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: It's funny you brought that up because I'm gonna I'm 607 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: gonna go to Joe with this next one after I 608 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 1: ask you this, John, because this works perfectly for me. 609 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: Do you think Gavin Newsom might challenge Joe Biden in 610 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 1: a primary? He says he's not, And he volunteered to 611 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: be Joe Biden's number one surrogate. So he's asking for 612 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 1: TV hits on all the national programs. He doesn't want 613 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,400 Speaker 1: to do the local California press. He wants to go 614 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: on the View, and he wants to go on Stephen 615 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: called Bear, and he wants to go on MSNBC and CNN, 616 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 1: and he's not doing that to promote Joe Biden's doing 617 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: it to promote Gavin Newsom. And he believes that while 618 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's official position is that he's running for reelection, 619 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: if he has some sort of health problem, if he 620 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,240 Speaker 1: has some sort of issue that prevents him from looking 621 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: like the Democratic nominee, then someone is going to have 622 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: to step in to build the boid. And Gavin Newsom 623 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: is like a relief pitcher that's just warming up in 624 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: the bullpen as that number five starter is out there 625 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:37,399 Speaker 1: laboring on the mound. Which brings me to your guy, Joe. Now, 626 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: I don't have any inside knowledge. This would be much 627 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 1: more your area than mine, but I've been telling people 628 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: for a year now that I think Eric Adams is 629 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: a dark horse to run for president. No, obviously, personally, 630 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. I'm not endorsing that, but I'm 631 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: gonna have plenty of money behind him. Charismatic, good looking dude, 632 00:37:54,760 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 1: in shape, clearly aspirational. Am I crazy? No? I actually 633 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: told him the same thing to his face. He and 634 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: I have very blunt conversations with each other, and I said, 635 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: if you managed to be sort of a moderate Democrat 636 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 1: who got a big city under control. That was that was, 637 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: you know, circling the drain under build a Blasio. There's 638 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: no telling that you could be what you could be nationally. Historically, though, 639 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: New York City mayors don't necessarily fare well in presidential politics. 640 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: They don't even fare well in New York's state government 641 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: Gubna Turlet politics. So I think that he's got that 642 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: going against him. But there's no question. Just like John 643 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,520 Speaker 1: said about Gavin Newsom, he is out there trying to 644 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: make a name for himself nationally. He is trying to 645 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, do the TV circuits. There's no question about that, 646 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 1: and I firmly believe that he is interested in higher office. 647 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,919 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about homelessness, because no one likes 648 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,600 Speaker 1: to talk about homeless There's Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. Well, 649 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: here it is. Are you still going to allow LAPD 650 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,359 Speaker 1: and Sanitation off Search to do these sweeps of encampments. No, 651 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 1: these are not sweeps at all. This is getting people 652 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: to move on their own. This is moving people from 653 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: tents to hotels or motels. Okay, we're putting them up 654 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: in hotels now, Joe, as you well know, I love 655 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: your city as many problems as it has, and I 656 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: go often. I have to travel to California often, even 657 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: though they've ruined Paradise. You're both drowning and homeless people. 658 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:29,399 Speaker 1: I can tell you that because I've stepped over all 659 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: of them on the sidewalks. Joe. No one likes to 660 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: talk about homelessness because it's hard to deal with it. 661 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,520 Speaker 1: It's hard to look at somebody very sad story, drugs, 662 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: mental health problems, many of the alcoholics. It's very very bad. 663 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: You don't want to throw them all in the clink, 664 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: but you can't have them peeing on the sidewalk when 665 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 1: people are trying to buy things from Saxsmith Avenue. What 666 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 1: should you be doing with them? No, And there always 667 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: is an underlying issue with homelessness, so as you point 668 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: it out, it's usually drugs, it's sometimes poverty, but oftentimes 669 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: it is mental illness. One of our biggest problems in 670 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 1: New York City is actually getting people out of the 671 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,720 Speaker 1: homeless shelter system. We have at any given point between 672 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: fifty and sixty thousand people living in some sort of 673 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: homeless or supportive housing scenario. Getting them on their feet 674 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,720 Speaker 1: and getting them transitioned out opens the door for more people. 675 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 1: The other thing is getting people off the street against 676 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 1: their will. And I hate to actually come on a 677 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,200 Speaker 1: segment and actually have to give Eric Adams two points 678 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: of kudos, but he's also implementing a new policy here 679 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 1: where he is pushing people off the subway cars and 680 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: into mental health counseling against their will. This has been 681 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: a very controversial topic, but it is something that he 682 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: campaigned on and if he didn't do anything about it 683 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 1: would be a stained on his legacy because anyone who 684 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: takes the subways in New York City knows it's not 685 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: necessarily just the crime, but it's also the general sense 686 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: of disorder and skietiness that we have to go through 687 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: every time we just walk down on a platform that 688 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: is it is really gross. All right, John, speaking of 689 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: mental illness, tell me about California. Yeah, that's quite a 690 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 1: homeless policy, isn't it. We've got people living on the 691 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: streets everywhere. And the answer is Tombo Dutt left the 692 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: light on for you for your complimentary breakfast. What Joe 693 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: said is accurate. The people living on the streets are 694 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: people who are there, not because the plant shut down, 695 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 1: not because the cost of living is so high. When 696 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: the cost of living is high, what you do is 697 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: you couchsurf. You have three families to a house or 698 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 1: to an apartment. It's not the ideal situation, but you 699 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: make do. One of the things that that friends who 700 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: mind in local government tell me that something that's not 701 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: brought up often enough but is certainly a huge component 702 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,960 Speaker 1: to the exploding homeless numbers, particularly in California, which represents 703 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,000 Speaker 1: a disproportionate number of the national homeless population, is this 704 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: we've essentially emptied out the prisons. When you empty out 705 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: the prisons with marginally employable people who have all kinds 706 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: of problems and they're dangerous, is to take in if 707 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: you're a friend or a family member of them. What 708 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: they ultimately end up doing, in many cases is living 709 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: in these encampments and continuing their criminality. If you want 710 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: to reduce the homeless population, and no one wants to 711 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,800 Speaker 1: say this because you're talking about locking them up behind bars, 712 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: but if they've been convicted by a jury and sentenced 713 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: by a judge, and they're supposed to be in prison 714 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 1: for a certain period of time, letting them out early 715 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 1: is not doing them or anyone else a favor. What 716 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: they do is they end up on the streets. They 717 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: end up praying on those of us who are paying 718 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,479 Speaker 1: taxes and trying to follow the laws. And they also 719 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: end up praying on other people who are living in 720 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: these encampments, who might be the alcoholic or the drug 721 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 1: adding or the schizophrenic or whoever. It is a horrible 722 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: situation that has been emboldened and allowed by these politicians. Joe, 723 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: appreciate you guys. You have a merry Christmas about talk 724 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:05,400 Speaker 1: to you before you too. Thank you. All right, we 725 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:16,360 Speaker 1: have a great light in the mood next you know, 726 00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 1: it's dangerous, extremely dangerous Bluetooth. And because as we talk 727 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: about light in the mood here, I just think we 728 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 1: should talk about just little little PSA for all of you. Bluetooth. Yes, 729 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: it's wonderful, don't get me wrong. I love that I 730 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: can have a Bluetooth speaker playing whatever music's here on 731 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,720 Speaker 1: the phone. I love that I can put in some 732 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: some mer bugs and just listen to whatever and you 733 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: won't know. So. I like this whole wireless thing, but 734 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: it is dangerous. How many horror stories have you heard? 735 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: I don't look. I know in my house because I 736 00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: have friends who send me funny videos, and sometimes those 737 00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 1: videos have language in it that isn't PG, and I'll 738 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,240 Speaker 1: bust it open to my house and maybe our bluetooth speaker. 739 00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,759 Speaker 1: Maybe we're listening to jams while the wife was making 740 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Buddy sends me a video 741 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,239 Speaker 1: boop poop poop ahaha, and then Boomy drops an F 742 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 1: bomb or something like that, only it came out over 743 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,839 Speaker 1: the speaker. It's dangerous, but I do support kids these 744 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: days taking advantage of the danger and playing practical jokes, 745 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: even if it's at church that's suitable. Each morning, the 746 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,840 Speaker 1: President of the United States receives a highly classified briefing 747 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 1: on the most important issues facing the country. It's called 748 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: the President's Daily Brief, or PDB. It's delivered by America's 749 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: spies and analysts.
