WEBVTT - World Cup Fever+ Platner's New Accuser + Trump Family Cashes In 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:17.800 You're doing me right to another complimentary and hey, hey, 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:22.239 how you doing. Welcome to Hot Mike's here in Maine, 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.480 on an island in Maine. It tis I the bushman 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:33.240 suffering from a terrible soccer to loss last night. We're 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:35.279 all the biggest soccer fans in the world right now, 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.600 aren't we, And experts too. Oh my god. The arguing 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:44.239 over calls, It's unbelievable. USA, Belgium. We went through so 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:50.879 much to have a complete team on the field. The president, 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.760 you know, on the phone, calling Gianni Infantino, the head 0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:00.319 of FIFA, getting him to reverse the decision to give 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:05.800 a red card. The fuller and Balligan he comes back, 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.840 he plays, We're at full strength. Yeh. I'm not so 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:15.319 sure it was worth it. I mean we got banked. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:21.280 We got spanked like little boys who've been bad paddled 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.160 by Belgium's There's twelve million people that live in Belgium, 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:29.640 less than New York and they just jacked us. So 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:34.440 our guys were awful. I think Belgium had an ax 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.240 to grind right. They were pissed about this whole thing. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:42.959 Remember their coach, Rudy Garcia spoke out and he was 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.840 like this is an outrage, and they tried to appeal 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.880 the decision and get another reversal back, so Baligan couldn't play, 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:54.600 and it was going back and forth, and then you 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.600 know they're complaining that they prepared up till twenty four 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.360 hours before the match to play without Ballagan and who 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.600 they might put in, and so then they had to 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:06.000 change their preparation. Well, the USA had to change theirs too, 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.280 because I didn't know our guy was in there, so 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:17.720 they might have changed formations whatever. Anyway, Rudy Garcia, you know, 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.280 was pissed. FIFA President Gianni Infantino was sitting there with 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.560 his head blowed. But the worst is, you know, the 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:33.320 masterclass in spanking the United States of America. One of 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.560 the Belgium guys posted I think that the team posted 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:41.440 on their official account overturned this. It was a four 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:47.839 to one romping and I'm afraid like vindication felt all 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:54.360 around the soccer world. Right. How about the Belgium team 0:02:54.400 --> 0:03:02.320 doing doing the Trump dance. I mean they're just yeah, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:09.520 I said, frozen there, Okay, they're doing the you know, 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.880 the Trump dance, which I got a hand it to 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:18.960 him is very funny. Uh, Harry, take it down and 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:23.720 stop forcing it. It's okay, Bud Trump. He's like the cooler. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.720 I mean, you know, he can't see. He's the guy 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:32.040 that showed up to Knicks Game four and they lost 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:36.600 the Great American State Fair. Nobody there America two point fifty. 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.760 The crowd size for the fireworks not good. The cooler 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:49.920 holy shit. But isn't the greater sinner Gianni Infantino of FIFA, right? 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:55.240 I mean, this guy's like allegedly laundering official FIFA tickets 0:03:55.240 --> 0:04:01.080 through secondary sites and pocketing the cash. He's a Trump's ass, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.280 and you know, giving him the FIFA Peace Prize whatever 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:09.160 the hell that is. You know, these are two guys 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.880 for whom public service comes with fees, right. I think 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:16.360 it was. I saw a meme that was like, you're 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.120 trying to out corrupt a real estate developer from New York, Johnny, 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:26.320 you have met your match. Oh my god. But the 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:33.240 game itself so sad. I mean, like our defense was horrible. 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.240 They couldn't cover any crosses. The crosses would come. Even 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:40.080 when there was three defenders and one the littlest guy 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.280 on the team, he finds his way over the top 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:48.880 of them for a header into the net, the passing lanes. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:50.960 I felt this was like a man. I didn't realize 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:54.800 how good Belgium, you know, is in soccer. But they 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.640 shut down every lane like they were always in position 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.400 to take away a pass, and the turnovers were out, 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.360 I mean just a dozens. They just kept taking the 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:10.080 ball from us like candy from a baby. It was unbelievable. 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.520 Who watched the game last night? Oh my god, Yeah, 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.599 we forgot to show up through the game, says Jenny 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.080 Jenny Lulu, we love you here in Maine. You're in Maine, 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.520 aren't you, my love? So you're probably checking out the 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.040 Grand Platiner News this morning as I was woke up 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.240 to the Jake Tapper interview. We'll get to that in 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:37.600 just a second. Yeah, they felt like, just like terrible 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.440 rich Oh, English Dick is taking a shot here at 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:46.200 the Trumpster Trump and embarrassment for your country. I mean, yeah, 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.159 you know, given the result, it would have been maybe 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.839 better that he didn't. But look, I think the original 0:05:52.920 --> 0:06:00.920 sin Richard is what a terrible call. How in the 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.400 world is it possible to make a call like that 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.560 where you give a red card to someone for endangering 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.640 another person's life and send them out in a major 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.560 high stakes this only happens once every four years. Your 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.719 best player can't miss a game unless it's really egregious. 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.919 And it wasn't even called as a foul on the field, 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:26.880 so it couldn't have been too egregious. And then Raphael Klaus, 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.200 the referee, goes over and watches it with var video 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:34.560 assisted referee and he watches it obviously in slow motion, 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.880 where everything looks more dramatic and horrible, and so he 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.240 then decides to not only call a foul but give 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:48.320 a red card. That is a bogus system. I don't 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.960 understand how you can operate like that, especially in an 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.480 event that's every four years. There's just too much consequence, 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:59.359 there's too much training involved. You better be absolutely sure 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:06.719 of something. Dienne makes a good point. We have become 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:11.240 the laughing stock to many. Here's the question does it 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:17.040 does this experience? I was worried when the game began 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:23.880 that I just didn't want the global communities experience in 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.520 America to be tainted by this. You know what I mean. 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.480 They're having the time of their lives in the bars 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.720 of Boston and the you know, barbecue stands in Dallas 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:39.400 they're in Kansas City. They're having the best time, and 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:42.680 the videos are amazing, and the waffle house and the 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.800 Land of the Free Song and the Sweet Caroline and 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.000 Country Road and all these great, great moments. I didn't 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.640 want any of that to be like that to me 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.920 is the triumph of the World Cup. We still are 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:59.520 way behind the rest of the world in soccer. Okay, 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.240 the fact that we made it to sixteen, I think 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.880 that ties our best effort. That's okay, we got a 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.640 lot of work to do. By the way, our best 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.000 athletes have a lot of sports to choose from. Okay, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.080 some play baseball, some play hockey, some play basketball, football, whatever. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.280 The rest of the world has one sport that you know, 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.720 there's the National Pride and they're training their people for 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:27.320 So okay, should we make more of an effort in soccer, Absolutely, 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.240 I'd like to. This is more fun competing on the 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:35.640 world stage than anything else. I've enjoyed it in a 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.520 huge way, and I was worried that this would, you know, 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:41.560 dampen people's experience. I don't think that's the case. I 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.440 think people were pissed at Trump and they were like, 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.600 just stay out of it, dude, why do you have 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:50.800 to be involved in absolutely everything? Personally, I was happy 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.920 that he made it. My own personal opinion is I 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:57.760 was I'm glad he called that guy and said, what 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.400 the what kind of shit call is that it was corrected? 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.680 If you can if something's an outright And every former 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.560 referee that ever you know, refed any games in the 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.480 World Cup, and all former coaches got together and said, 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:16.720 this is a shit show. This is terrible. It was 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:24.240 an why wouldn't you overturn something that's evidentiary? But again 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:30.400 it's just you know, most people, the prevailing thought for 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:34.360 them was stay out of it. Why do you have 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:39.240 to be involved in everything? And I get that. I 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:44.080 get that. Bib says the rules should apply at the 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.400 same all the same to the teams and officials coming 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:49.959 in and where they have to sleep. And I think 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.560 you mean like for better or for worse understood. I 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.480 got you on that one too, Jenny Lulu. It was 0:09:56.520 --> 0:10:00.440 a total shit call that should have been overturned regard wardless. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:05.520 I get that too. English Dick had a tremendous game 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:12.439 England over Mexico. Wow, even with a man down. Bullshit, Billy, 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.920 it's the rules that everyone else accepts them, except for 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.080 when they overturned the red card for Rinaldo and the 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.160 qualifier to get into the World Cup. So it's been 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.760 done before, just not in the World Cup. English Dick, 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:37.360 Am I correct? I believe I am correct? Yeah, I 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:42.040 just you know what is your boy? Peters Morgan? I 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.040 have to say about it like this, Well, Karma did 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.000 its thing with that game. I'm afraid, so I'm afraid 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.200 so it came back to bite us. In fact, we 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.400 just looked like we looked like a high school team 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.520 out there. We just looked awful. England is on fire. 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:04.480 Who's with me? I'm team Norway all the way. I 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.840 love this guy, Earling Holland is the best. I love 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.160 everybody going on. I love the wigs that people are wearing, 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:16.040 all the blonde wigs all over the place. Nobody's having 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.840 more fun than Norway. Last night I had all my 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.960 old friends that I we're now in our fifties, but 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.760 all these people I grew up with were over at 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:31.920 my house last night. And it's embarrassing. But is it 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.560 as embarrassing as my naked butt on the dock here 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:43.760 in Maine? I think it's more embarrassing we did it, true, 0:11:48.720 --> 0:12:13.439 brou I don't true. True. A few cocktails deep on 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:28.200 that one. There's my friend Nina in the front and Khaki, 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.480 which is a great name, and Ben and Marnie in 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.760 the back, and Jamie l My Carston and my friend 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:38.599 Brew we were going to change it to Brew in 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:42.559 his honor, and his son Jack next to me in 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:46.600 the back. Middle there who's who's a young Marine? Love 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.960 that guy? And uh, I mean, have you been doing 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.840 this thing? It's so stupid, isn't it? But I mean 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.839 they're ruined all over the world. It's pretty awesome. So 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:03.920 I'm all in on Norway my team. So we got 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.760 some drama here in Maine. As have you guys been 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.679 paying attention here to the Graham Platner situation. Graham Platner 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:17.760 running for the United States Senate seat against Susan Collins, 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.200 who will be going for her sixth term in the Senate. 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:26.440 She is, I believe, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.400 which means she's a woman who has a lot of power, 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.880 and for a state as small as Maine to have 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.040 that kind of seat at the table is a pretty 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:40.200 cool thing. But Graham Platner is according to vell Porter 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:47.240 here he's finished. Yeah, I think so too. I don't 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:50.400 think there's any way he stays in this race. And 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.880 for all this guy's problems, you know, being a drunk 0:13:54.320 --> 0:14:02.839 and violent person, allegedly an accused bigot, you know, a 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:07.640 guy that's sent some very shady texts. It's interesting that 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.480 people are glossing over the fact that he's a crazy 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.640 ass socialist at the root of it all. But apparently 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:15.800 who cares about that. We're going to focus on the 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:20.720 other things. Three women who have dated Graham Platner have 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:25.840 said he could be demeaning and physically threatening to women. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:30.280 His own wife said he was texting sexual messages with 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.600 other women, so he's a bit of a horned dog. 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:38.440 Jenny Rassicote is the woman that came forward on Monday yesterday. 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.640 She said that Graham Platner when they were dating, they 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.920 were kind of newly dating, that he entered her home 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:52.160 without her permission. He and can I say, are the 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.240 R word he are? I don't know if we can 0:14:55.400 --> 0:15:00.600 on YouTube, but he assaulted her in that way while 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.120 he was heavily intoxicated, and it was nearly five years ago. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.640 They were in a casual dating relationship. Watching the interview 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.760 with Jake Dabbery's a little weird about it, just the 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:15.280 way he like, you know, he's allowed to say, you know, 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.720 the R word on his TV, but the way he 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.600 was it was awkward. I don't know. 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:29.360 I just want to find out more about you said 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.080 he was he was forcing himself on you. It was 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.120 getting violent. You were pushing him off, you were kicking 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.200 him off, needles and sewing equipment was falling all over. 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:46.640 And walk us through the process where you decided that 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.200 the safest thing you could do was just. 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:57.600 Let him. And then of course she said, yeah, he's big, 0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:03.120 he's strong. And what I did was I she said, 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.840 I complied. I felt like he was drunk and too 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.400 strong for me, and so the safest route for me 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:16.000 was to comply and let it happen, which is so sad. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:23.040 And then she went on to say something very interesting, 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.960 and that is shows you what a crazy political environment 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:32.720 that we live in, you guys. I mean, she said, look, 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:37.720 people in reaction to Tapper asking that there are people 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:43.240 who will vote for him anyway, regardless of what he's 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:48.080 done here, because this election is so important. What the 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:52.040 seat right, the balance of power tipping the Senate towards 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:56.480 the Democrats is so important that you know, people will 0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:01.240 put aside facts like this. I mean, you can make 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.840 the argument they have on the other side of the aisle. Anyway, 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:09.600 do we have that clip, Harry where she speaks coming 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:11.880 to you from the coast of Maine. Not that way 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:18.680 the woman the actual interviewee. She says basically, she says, 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.800 you know, look, I have friends who feel that way. 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.800 I have friends who feel like, I'm sorry, you know, 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.119 and I don't know how she remains friends with these people, 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.199 but like, I'm sorry that you were sexually you were 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:37.440 sayed by this guy, but like this election is too important, 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:41.680 and she's like I She even says, I understand in 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.640 our political environment if people feel like, you know, it's 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.040 just too much at stake. Since it was a few 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:54.680 years ago, maybe he's changed and he's still a better candidate. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.040 And she said I'd vote for him as well if 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:08.560 I didn't know, didn't have this personal experience. Yikes. As 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.400 for Platner himself, he said, these allegations are troubling, They're 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:18.600 serious and false. Any accusation of non consensual behavior is 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:24.840 categorically untrue. But then he says this regardless of the 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:30.080 inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of the political reality 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.680 it will inflict. We are taking the time to reflect 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:42.320 on the best path forward. What's odd is his potential 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:48.760 co senator down the ninety five turnpike. Elizabeth Warren called 0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.840 for him to step aside. She said, step aside and 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:59.440 address these allegations privately. Hannah Pingree, who lives a mile 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.399 down the road for me on this island. She's the 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:08.200 Democrat candidate for governor. And there's pictures of Hannah, you know, 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.200 arm in arm with Graham Platner out on the trail. 0:19:11.440 --> 0:19:15.120 She reacted quickly, and she said, the allegations are deeply disturbing, 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.439 and I believe Graham Platner should step aside as our 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:23.879 party's nominee. The pod Save America. Guys, we are pretty liberal. 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.399 They want him out. Don't think he should run. Roe Conna, 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:33.520 powerful congressman from California, said Graham should be out. Planned 0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:37.520 parenthood not good when you're the Democrat running for the 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:42.560 Senate seat, and planned Parenthood says they want you to 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:48.200 step aside. So his support is caving. And this guy 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:51.600 was like heralded. He was like the wild fun outsider 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:57.000 everybody wanted. You know, he was the oyster oyster farmer, 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:01.119 and like I said, he's pretty wild socialist. You know, 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:05.920 he rants about genocide and you know he's dsa friendly 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:11.760 and all this is. But there's no way I think 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.879 he can continue on here. He's got until July thirteenth 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:20.560 to withdraw from the race entirely. That would be Monday, 0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:23.360 So he has to make a decision. If he does, 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:27.600 the Democrat Party has until July twenty seven, they've got 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.040 two weeks to replace him on the ticket. He still 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.280 thinks that he's got the leverage whether he's the candidate 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:38.520 or not, to pick who that person is. You know, 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:43.240 it just makes me wonder about the world we live in, Like, 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:50.600 is this call for him to step down? Is this 0:20:50.720 --> 0:20:56.520 about morality? Is this about doing the right thing? Or 0:20:56.720 --> 0:21:00.320 is it about power? For example, like Elizabeth Warren, would 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.440 you be saying if the polls were showing that he 0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:09.600 was fourteen percent up on Susan Collins And by the way, 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:14.399 she's spending way more money than him. She has a 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.200 pac money, which of course sets the Democrats socialists of 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:22.639 the world on fire with anger that you know that 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:27.880 Israel has funded about twenty percent of her campaign. Why 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:36.480 you know, I mean without supporters in our Congress, Israel 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:43.080 gets one step closer to what the the DSA followers 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:45.560 and socialists of the world want, and that is a 0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:51.240 wiped out Israel joining our enemies. I mean, so, yeah, 0:21:51.440 --> 0:21:55.320 so what she takes money from APEC, but she's got 0:21:55.359 --> 0:21:57.440 a lot more and she spent a lot more. So 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:01.120 is this about morality? Is this about doing the right thing? 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:06.520 Or is it about data showing you're not gonna win 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:11.639 so you might as well appear like you're seizing the 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:17.840 moral high ground or you're doing the right thing. You know, 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:22.480 in a situation like this, what did Donald Trump do? 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.920 Everyone thought he was done the first time he ran. 0:22:27.920 --> 0:22:34.760 He doubled down and he won. So what about this guy? 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:42.439 If he was accused of similar things, I think, different circumstances, 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:47.960 but they were untoured allegations. Does Graham Platner double down? 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:52.639 Can he win? I'm just seeing all these institutional people 0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:56.040 like Chuck Schumer and Kirsten gillibrand you know, two senators 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:59.360 from New York and Planned parenthood. I see all these 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:02.480 institutions people pulling away from this guy, and I say 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:07.160 this isn't about ethics. This isn't about morality, This isn't 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:09.520 about doing the right thing. This is about research that 0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:13.680 they have seen that says he can't win. I just 0:23:13.720 --> 0:23:17.280 think that's what it's always about. It seems I don't 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:21.920 know where the people are who are running for the 0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:29.600 right reasons and running with some kind of personal ethos. Anyway, 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:33.520 your thoughts on that. I don't know this candidate, But 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:37.440 we've seen men falsely accused, Billy, it's about the data, Yeah, 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:41.080 I think so, Yeah, we have seen we have seen 0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:45.639 men falsely accused. Sure, I just can't understand a person 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:47.960 who would do that, you know what I mean? Like, 0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:52.879 who's that evil who gets together and says I'm going 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:57.720 to make up an allegation that this person got super 0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:03.040 drug and forced themselves on me. By the way, I mean, 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:07.399 keep in mind, it wasn't like a broke into the 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.240 house the event and then left. I mean he slept over, 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:12.359 he stayed there, and then the next morning she was like, 0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:14.640 do you know what you did? And he was like nah. 0:24:15.520 --> 0:24:19.680 Sounds to me like either a co problem or a 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:24.080 bigger problem is that he's a total drunk and should 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:30.960 probably be sober and maybe he is. Yeah, you're absolutely right, Billy, 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.240 says Paula. It's all about the fact that he can't win. 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:36.800 I think so too. I just really do. I think 0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:40.760 there's I think there's evidence saying no, someone in politics, 0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.080 this stuff goes flying around all the time, and it 0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:51.639 actually happens all the time. Yeah, it's amazing that. But 0:24:51.760 --> 0:24:55.000 there are people who are still like so political. They're 0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.240 in the fight and they want to and you know, 0:24:57.320 --> 0:25:03.720 they want them to stay in. So we'll see what happens. Now, 0:25:04.359 --> 0:25:06.240 let me ask you a question. But here's the thing. 0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:14.200 The morality and some type of code of ethics, you know, 0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:22.800 from our elected officials. It means something to me. The 0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:26.320 commercials that I'm seeing on the television here in Maine 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:28.520 where I am there, and by the way, I mean 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:33.520 last night USA versus Belgium it was Graham Platner versus 0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:40.320 Susan Collins. I mean every single commercial break was you know, 0:25:40.480 --> 0:25:44.720 attack ads against each other or support ads from each other. 0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:51.680 It was every single commercial break bar nun. You know. 0:25:55.000 --> 0:25:58.760 One of the attacks on Susan Collins was about all 0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:02.240 the money these senators and congress people have made, Like 0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:05.560 you know, you look at Nancy Pelosi. There's a report 0:26:05.640 --> 0:26:08.480 that says she came into office thirty some years ago, 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:12.080 forty years ago, whatever it was, with a net worth 0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:14.600 of three million dollars, and she leaves with a net 0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:19.280 worth of two hundred and seventy five million dollars, with 0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:23.119 all that access to information and insider trading abilities, and 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.439 that Congress is exempt from from the rules we all 0:26:27.520 --> 0:26:31.560 play by, you know. And Trump, of course, is a 0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:36.359 whole different story. But Susan Collins, one of the attack 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:47.840 adds she's made a shit ton of money and they 0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:54.720 all are, but none like Trump. I mean, it's it's 0:26:54.800 --> 0:27:00.320 handover fist. The crypto business. We saw a report about 0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:05.760 one point four billion dollars made there, not for everyone else, 0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:09.840 though the investors all took a bath, like in mistakes 0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:12.840 in the Vodka and the Boy. This is about the fees. 0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:17.680 There's a there's a graph you can see right here. 0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:23.040 Look at that. This is the Trump crypto family gains 0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:27.680 versus investor losses. Look at this, it's exactly the same number, 0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:33.240 two point two nine billion dollars the Trump organization made 0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:38.119 in crypto so far. And then you look at the 0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:44.199 investors they've lost two point to eight billion dollars. How 0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:48.320 does that work. It's all about the fees. Whether you're 0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:53.280 selling or whether you're buying, there's a transaction fee built in, 0:27:53.680 --> 0:27:58.080 and all of that goes to the Trumps. So they 0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:00.680 make money on us when it's down. They make money 0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:02.960 when you're getting out, they make money when you're getting in. 0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:08.879 World Liberty Financial, their crypto biz, brought in more than 0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:15.199 five hundred and ninety four million, while cic Digital, another company, 0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:19.240 generated six hundred and thirty six million, mostly from the 0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:25.560 royalties tied to celebrity coins. So his the coins that 0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:31.359 he sells, he also people buy. He also reported almost 0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:35.840 two hundred million bucks from selling stable coin and more 0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:40.120 than five hundred million from World Liberty token sales as well. 0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:44.200 So it's all tokens, it's all crypto. It's all this 0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:47.680 great the traditional business. I mean, he's he's in heaven 0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:50.600 here because the traditional business made money, but nothing like 0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:55.360 the phony business. You know, seventy seven million from mar 0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:59.320 A Lago. That's pretty nice club, I guess, twenty five 0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:03.120 million from the golf club in Northern Virginia. All these things. 0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:06.760 The latest, though, is the tungsten mining in Kazakhstan. This 0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:14.400 is incredible. Remember, Hunter Biden was villified, villified for serving 0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:19.360 on the board of Barisma, a Ukraine energy company, for 0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:22.240 making three million dollars. What does this guy know about 0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:26.360 energy in Ukraine? Well, Eric and Don Junior are on 0:29:26.440 --> 0:29:28.840 the board of an investor group or part of an 0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:33.680 investor group that is benefiting from tungsten mining in Kazakhstan. 0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:38.440 The United States cut a deal with Kazakhstan to allow 0:29:38.720 --> 0:29:41.880 us to mine for tungsten, which all I know is 0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:44.680 that stuff that's on the front of my putter, to 0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:48.000 the great benefit of the US investor group, which includes 0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:52.760 Don Jr. And Eric. Again, Biden was excoriated for this, 0:29:53.000 --> 0:29:55.480 and maybe because he was such a doing it, maybe 0:29:55.520 --> 0:29:58.520 he did it meekly, maybe he didn't do it big enough. 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:02.880 And then even in our we just had this big 0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:10.040 semi semi quincentennial two hundred and fiftieth celebration, which started 0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.960 out with a group called America two fifty. It was 0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:16.960 a bipartisan commission established in twenty sixteen to put on 0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:22.280 a bipartisan party for America. When Trump got back in, 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:26.360 he took the power away from America two fifty and 0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:31.240 started Freedom two fifty, which was a different organization that 0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:35.560
