1 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: Power. What do you do with power? It's an age 2 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: old question. It's not an American question, something mankind has 3 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: struggled with for the longest time. If you get power, 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: if you gain power, what's right, what's wrong, what's good? 5 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: What do you do with it? I want you to 6 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: pause on that for just a moment, because I realized 7 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: it's elections, elections, elections, Redway. Who's pause for a second. 8 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: I want you to imagine you share a home, unfortunately, 9 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: with your mortal enemy. He hates you, despises you. It 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: basically tells you to your face all the time, you 11 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: hate him, you despise him, And every so often you 12 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: get to run the house. Every year you get to 13 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: run the house. And then in the next year he 14 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: gets to run the house, so on and so forth. 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: And when he takes power, when he runs the house, 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: he does things like put nails in your sheets. He 17 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: does things like locking you in your room. He does 18 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: things like drilling holes in your floor so you sprain 19 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: your ankles. Because he believes in using power. You, when 20 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: you take power, you have principles right. What he did 21 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: was wrong, and so when you take power, you don't 22 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: do any of those things. In fact, you don't do 23 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: a thing to him, because live and let live. We 24 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: shouldn't use power, right, limited government, let's just let bygones 25 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: be bygones. How does that end? It only has one ending, 26 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: you know what it is. How does that end? How 27 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: does that story end? It ain't good for you, I 28 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: know that much forever because the Republican Party. I think 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: that's not probably true. Because you let's set the Republican 30 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: Party aside. You whatever you are, whatever you consider yourself 31 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: to be, a conservative, libertarian, nationalist, wherever you consider yourself 32 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: to be, you do have some love in your heart 33 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: for the Constitution. Maybe you think it's outdated, maybe you 34 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: adore it, maybe you'll copy of it on you right now, 35 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: but you do have some sort of adherence to it. 36 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: And what is the constitution? It limits power. The government 37 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: can only do this and never that. So that has 38 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: been the base philosophy of the right forever. Government shouldn't 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: use power, get out of the way, back off, and 40 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: let's be clear, that is the kind of country you 41 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: want to live in. Teeny tiny government, don't use power, 42 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: stay out of my life. That's the world you want 43 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: to live in. In the world I want to live in. 44 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: But alas, we are adults and we must accept the 45 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: world as it is because right now we share that 46 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 1: home with the people who hate us, and whenever they 47 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: take charge, they use every ounce of their power to 48 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: destroy us everything, to destroy everything you care about, from 49 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: your economy to your children. They try to wreck everything 50 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: because they believe in using power. Now, Red wived exciting, right, 51 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: and I'm excited. Woo, I'm excited. Okay, what are you 52 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: going to do with the power? That's really the question, 53 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: because you have to do something with it. Now. We 54 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: don't have any institutions left. We have lost every cultural 55 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: institution to the people who believe in using power because 56 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: they believe in using power. We didn't, they do. They 57 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: took all the power. So okay, how I said it. Whoo, 58 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: it's exciting. What are you going to do? Well, here's 59 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: five things the GOP should do. One. If I was 60 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: to say these words to you, or frankly myself even 61 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: ten years ago, I would have cringed at me and disagreed. 62 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: But the GOP must make corporations afraid. I don't want 63 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: to live in a country like this. I need to 64 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: be clear. I don't want to live in a country 65 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: where the federal government is in any way intertwined with 66 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: the private business world. That's not how it's supposed to work. 67 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: But in this is the world we have, and the 68 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: world we have today, corporation after corporation after corporation after 69 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: corporation has taken a political stance, and it ain't yours. 70 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: You see the latest from Twitter, Elon, must Buy's Twitter. 71 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: Little companies maybe you've heard of one of these two 72 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: have pulled all their advertising. This is, by the way, 73 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: I want to be clear. They're pulling advertising over the 74 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: threat of speech being more free. All right, Oreos, General Motors, Fords, CBS, 75 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: United Airlines, Coca Cola, Le Buys, Spotify, Forbes, Direct TV, PBS. 76 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop because I have a long, great show tonight, 77 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: but I could keep going. It's a who's who of 78 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: powerful companies. Now, why why did they do this? Why 79 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: do they feel comfortable doing this over and over and 80 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: over and over again? Do you remember what Disney had 81 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: to say? Remember this? I'm sure as a mother of 82 00:04:53,480 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: two queer children, actually one transgender child UM and one 83 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: pan sexual child, and we have many, many, many lgbt 84 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: QIA characters in our stories and and yet we don't 85 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: have enough leads and narratives in which gay characters just 86 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: get to be characters. Shoot the tears. Sorry our coming, um, 87 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: we don't. We just don't allow each other to go backwards. 88 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: Pan Sexual child tearing up at the thought of engaging 89 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: in the culture war against you and your values so 90 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: your child can feel comfortable being pan sexual. Why do 91 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: they do this because the GOP has never given them 92 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: a reason not to, and Democrats have. When Democrats take power, 93 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: Democrats as look at entire industries Joe Biden with loyal 94 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: I'll destroy you. When the Republicans take power, Flift. We 95 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: gotta stay out of it. Guys, just live and let live, Okay, 96 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: you must start going after these corporations and make them afraid. 97 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: The communists takeover of corporate America is the second most 98 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: damaging thing they've taken over in this country, next to, 99 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: of course, the education system, which brings us to number four. 100 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: The military, specifically the vaccine mandate. Let's be honest about 101 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: what the vaccine mandate is for the United States. Military 102 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with coronavirus, as you know, and 103 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm not even going to bring up the health concerns 104 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: we have. I don't know. Some of our most fit guys, 105 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: special operators dying of heart attacks. I'm sure that's a 106 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: coincidence all of a sudden, But it's not even about that. 107 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm not even discussing the health portion of it. This 108 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: is a purge of the military, of all the communist 109 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: ideological opponents. If you're somebody willing to give up a 110 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: military career for a vaccine mandate, where do you fall 111 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: the political spectrum? About ninety nine point nine nine percent 112 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: of the people who won't take that vaccine are on 113 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: the right. And yet not only is the mandate still 114 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: in place, Joe Biden is still out there acting as 115 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: if the vaccine slows the spread. Virtually every COVID death 116 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: in America is preventable. Virtually everyone, almost everyone who will 117 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: die from COVID this year will not be up to 118 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: date on their shots, and COVID shot each year will 119 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: be all they need. And if you get it, you're protected. 120 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: And if you don't, you're putting yourself and other people 121 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: unnecessary risk. Why would why would you be putting other 122 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: people at unnecessary risk? The vaccine doesn't stop the spreading coronavirus, 123 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: Fizer says that now. Everyone advents that now, CDC advents 124 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: that now, and yet the vaccine mandates still in place. 125 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: There's no reason for a vaccine mandate if the vaccine 126 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: doesn't stop the spread. So why is it still in 127 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: place to per the military of their ideological opponents. So 128 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: one day, maybe they'll use that power on you Tube 129 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: And if that sounds crazy to you, I would really 130 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: invite you to do this thing where you open up 131 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: a history book and read it. Believe me when I 132 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: tell you that could easily happen here. Bringing me to 133 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: number three. Joe Biden did what when he stepped into office? 134 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: What did Joe Biden do when it came to oil 135 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: Day one? Canceled the Keystone pipeline. No more drilling on 136 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: federal lands. It's what he said, no more drilling, no 137 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: more Keystone Pipeline. We soon had record breaking gas prices 138 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: before Russia invaded Ukraine. And by the way, those prices 139 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: are all about to go way, way back up again. 140 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: So what's the GOP solution for this? What should be 141 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: a solution for this? Well, Jesse, we should open up 142 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: those leases on federal lands. Wrong, That is a defensive 143 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 1: way of thinking. Democrats will be elected president again one 144 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: day they will. What we need to do is return 145 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: the federal lands back to the states, make that state land, 146 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: or even better publicly anyway, make that state land. So 147 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: each and every state will have control on whether or 148 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: not the oil industry is allowed to drill for oil 149 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: within its borders, because otherwise, day one, the next time 150 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: a Democrat comes in, he's going to continue the war 151 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: on humanity. He's going to continue. Well, Joe Biden said 152 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: it best there. No, I haven't got any new drilling. 153 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,359 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's still out there bragging about wiping out the industry. 154 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: The world runs on Remember, humanity runs on oil. We 155 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: can't allow them that kind of chance again, we can't. 156 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: We need to get rid of this federal land. There's 157 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: no reason the limited federal government should be the largest 158 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: landowner in the country anyway, that's free ridiculous. Now, that's 159 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: not a sexy issue, but man, I think you're going 160 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: to agree it's a pretty important one when we look 161 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: at the state of the economy right now, which brings 162 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: me to this. Speaking of the economy, we're down, no 163 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: question about it going to be a pretty dark recession 164 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: by anyone's measure. What did the federal government do? The 165 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: federal government declared war on you. You only add eighty 166 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 1: seven thousand IRS agents when you have decided the American 167 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: people haven't been fleeced enough. And in case you believe 168 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: that old line about how they're going after billionaires, may 169 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: I invite you to witness this little IRS training video. 170 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: Does this sound like billionaires? Congress recently appropriated fund So 171 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: the IRS is currently looking to hire more special agents 172 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: or cis nationwide. Most people don't even know that the 173 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: IRS has criminal investigators who use their accounting skills and 174 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: their authority as a special IRS agent to help solve 175 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: tax crimes. Under this scenario, these who's find the owner 176 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: of a landscaping company has several vehicles that may have 177 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: been purchased from money's not reported through his business. After 178 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: an undercover interview using a wireless mic, the special IRS 179 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: agents find that Dodger, who is selling his business, has 180 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: two sets of books is landscaping business? Those billionaires? Huh? 181 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: Which brings me to number one? And I know this 182 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: issue is not number one in the minds of America. 183 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: America is concerned, understandably. I'm not blaming anybody about inflation. 184 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: In the economy and crime and all those things are 185 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: very valid things to be afraid of, But there is 186 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: nothing more dangerous happening in this country than what is 187 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: happening within the walls of the FBI. The Federal Bureau 188 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: of Investigation has almost unlimited power to destroy anyone they 189 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: want in the country. You me, they sent thirty agents 190 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 1: into Donald Trump's home, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation 191 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: has become a weaponized arm of the Democratic Party. Either 192 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: the GOP finds a way to end this criminal organization 193 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: completely or in the very least give us some kind 194 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: of a major, top down sweep of it, or you 195 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: are witnessing what will end this country. Secret police state 196 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: police have murdered more people than cancer. That is a fact. 197 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: And that is the way this organization is going, and 198 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: is going very very quickly. And what scares me probably 199 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: the most, is not just that the FBI is doing 200 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: these things. It's that they'll do these things like ray 201 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's home, and they'll get this horrible backlash because 202 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: half the country is horrified. And not only do they 203 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: not slow down, they go sit in front of the 204 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: GOP set and say, hey, can you wrap this up? Senator, 205 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: I got to go to the beach. Senator, I had 206 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: had a flight that I'm supposed to be high tailing 207 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: it too out of here, and I nderstood that we 208 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: were going to be done at one thirty. So that 209 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: was that's how we ended up where we are. If 210 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: it's if it's your business trip, you got your own plane, 211 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: can it wait a while? Sorry, to be honest, I've 212 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: tried to make my break as fast as I could 213 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: to get right back out here, and you took more 214 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: in five minutes. It's funny. Ha ha. The FBI director 215 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: just made me look like a loser with no power. 216 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: Ha ha. I don't find it funny at all. They're 217 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: laughing in our faces. Why aren't they afraid? The GOP 218 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: better find a way to make the FBI afraid or 219 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: there is no more country. All that may have made 220 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: you uncomfortable, but I am right. We're gonna talked to 221 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: my friend Lee Smith about a bunch of this stuff next. 222 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: Each morning, the President of the United States receives a 223 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: highly classified briefing on the most important issues facing the country. 224 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: It's called the President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered 225 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: by America's spies and analysts. Well, now you can hear 226 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: your very own PDB in the form of a podcast 227 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: hosted by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. 228 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen 229 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: to twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 230 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 231 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: start your morning. The vast overwhelming majority of FBI employees, agents, analyst, 232 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: professional staff have political opinions, and every single day they 233 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: come in, they put those aside and they honor their 234 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: oath to the Constitution. Sure, they do absolutely as we've seen. 235 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: Joining me now my friend Lee Smith, author of The 236 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: Permanent Lee of Anything I Want the GOP to do 237 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: with power, the FBI is number one on my list, 238 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: just because having a weaponized state police historically is basically 239 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: the scariest thing on the planet. Yeah, that's a bad 240 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: thing for a constitutional republic like ours. I concourage Jesse. 241 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: All right, Lee, what are we I shouldn't say what 242 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: do we want from them? Because I know what I 243 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: want from them. It's probably very similar to what you want. 244 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: I want every employee fired and the building race to 245 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: the ground. But I'm not assuming I'm going to get that. 246 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: What can I get? What can I hope for? Oh? No, 247 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,240 Speaker 1: I agree with you, Jesse. I think that's what we 248 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: should be counting on. I think that the Republican base 249 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: I will be very distressed to find out that Republican 250 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: legislators are trying to reform an agency that has been 251 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: weaponized to attack them. So I think anyone again, any 252 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: any GOP legislators who don't understand that are going to 253 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: find themselves very vulnerable. Twenty twenty four. Okay, well that 254 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: actually gives me some hope. Ley, you think we might 255 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: have a GOOP that is basically forced to act because 256 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: this is the way I see this going. Correct me 257 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. They haul them in for hearings. We 258 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: know they're going to do that. It's going to be 259 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan head of their judiciary. The FBI is going 260 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: to answer every question the way they always do. I 261 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: can't comment on an ongoing investigation. Well, we're at a 262 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: stopping point there. Unless the GOP can have some teeth 263 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: with the dollars. Do you think they will? Again? I 264 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: think they have to. I mean, the electorate is outraged. 265 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: I mean since twenty twenty, since beforehand. But we've seen 266 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: what's happened. I mean, the FBI has been turned loose 267 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: on pro life activist, on school parents. I think it's 268 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: going to be very Look, I don't put it beyond 269 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: certain Republican legislators, but it's going to be pretty hard, nonetheless, 270 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: to make the case for this agency. Look, I think 271 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: one of the important things to look at is what's 272 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: happened before when we said we need to reform intelligence agencies. 273 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: They're too important, we need to reform them. Well, if 274 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: you look at the different things that have happened, starting 275 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: with the Church Committee, you're going to hear an awful 276 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: lot of people talking about the Church Committee. The Church 277 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: Committee is part of the reason we got to where 278 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: we are today. Different reform measures, different ideas that came 279 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: out of the Church Committee, like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. 280 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: That's why we have the FBI that we have today 281 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: that used FISA to spy on Donald Trump's presidential campaign, 282 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: leading all the way into the Trump White House. We 283 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: look at other things. We look at the nine to 284 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: eleven Commission, which was supposed to erase the so called 285 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: firewall between the FBI and the CIA, that let nine 286 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: to eleven happen. Well, the reason if we're going to 287 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: looking at what happened with the intelligence services, the fault 288 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the firewall. The problem is 289 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: with the FBI and with the CIA itself, So any 290 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: efforts to try to reform these agencies, in particular the 291 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: FBI will only further augment their power. The only way 292 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: that I see this is forget about going after like 293 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: a church committee. This should be a successful lustration episode. 294 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: By what I mean, these were the different These were 295 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: the different tribunals after the fall of the Berlin Wall 296 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: that went after different intelligence services in behind the Iron Curtain. Unfortunately, 297 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: a lot of these just a lot of the people 298 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: and a lot of the agencies just change names and 299 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: no one paid a price there. That's the same thing 300 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: that's going to happen here. If we say, well, okay, 301 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: so at least let's move off the different the different 302 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: tours that fills and get other people to fulfill them, 303 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: that's a problem as well. Lee. I'm glad you brought 304 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: it up because it's something I don't talk about often. 305 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: CIA the FBI is not hard to find headlines on 306 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: rating pro lifers and the Donald Trump stuff and things 307 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: like that, But people don't really realize the CIA's virtually 308 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: in the same boat. Yeah, the late Angelo Codevilla very important, 309 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: very wonderful writer, terrific writer. Angelo Codevilla knew a lot 310 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: about the intelligence services. He served on Senate staff in 311 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies, and his recommendation was is that the 312 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 1: CIA is a problem from the outset because it's an 313 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: intelligence service without a specific mission. His case was that 314 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: intelligence should be attached to specific missions, whether it's a 315 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: military mission or a diplomatic mission. If you look at 316 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: what General Michael Flynn tried to do when Donald Trump 317 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: named him his first National Security advisor, this was the 318 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: direction that General Flynn wanted to go into. He recognized 319 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: there is a need for intelligence, especially on the battlefield, 320 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: and that's why he was keen to use this as 321 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: a focus and to effectively downgrade the CIA and put 322 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: more intelligence in the hands of people who knew what 323 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: was going on, who were on the battlefield, and who 324 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: could use that intelligence and it could be recycled back 325 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: to the battlefield. But absolutely, the CIA presents an enormous 326 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: amount of problems as well for a constitutional republic. All right, Lee, 327 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: let's cross our fingers. Thank you, my friend, Thank you, Jesse. 328 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: All Right, the economy, all that inflation stuff, let's talk 329 00:20:49,920 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: to Carol Roth about it next. The people I ever 330 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: heard here use the word inflation are journalists and economists, right, 331 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 1: So that is not part of the normal lexicon of 332 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: the way people talk. So it's interesting that Republicans are 333 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: doing something they don't normally do, right, which is not 334 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: used the common tongue, right, not used just common English 335 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: to sort of do on their campaigns that they're doing 336 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: with crime. But what they've done is they've taught people 337 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: the word inflation. Right. Most people who would have never 338 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: used that word ever in their lives are using it 339 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: now because they've been taught it, including on TV, including 340 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: in newspapers. They've been taught this word, and they sort 341 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: of wrap this word around whatever it is that they 342 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: really want to vote. Joining me now, my friend Carol Roth, 343 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: recovering investment banker and author of the book The War 344 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: on Small Business. Carol, I know you've dabbled in this 345 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: industry for quite a while. I'm obviously knee deep in 346 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 1: it myself. Would you please explain to people in ways 347 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: that I really can't how truly dumb in mediocre. So 348 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 1: many the people you watch on TV are or listen 349 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: in the radio, and I realize I'm speaking about myself here, 350 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: but I mean, it really is stunning when you talk 351 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: to some of these people. Carol, I don't know how 352 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: that woman puts on her shoes without assistance. It is 353 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: really staggering. Jesse. I mean, these are people who are 354 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: talking about the issues of the day, and I don't 355 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: know if she's never heard inflation because she has been 356 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: so focused on her government run schools that you know, 357 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: they never brought up anything that's useful, or she's just 358 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: making it up, or perhaps she's never taken a basic 359 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: economics claz or paid attention to anything throughout history. But 360 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: imagine saying that all of a sudden, the Republicans have 361 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: taught us this fancy word inflation. They're also going to 362 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: teach you fancy words like money and saving investment for 363 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: one case, say two, for whole litany of sesame street 364 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: does finance? I mean, come on, this is it's so 365 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: utterly ridiculous. Does anybody buy into it? Does anyone sit 366 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: around and go, yeah, you know what, I had never 367 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: heard of inflation ever before you know, even if I 368 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: hadn't experienced it because things had been better, I've never 369 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: heard of inflation, you know, So it's pretty crazy that 370 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: the Republicans are trotting out this opaque speak to now, 371 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:34,479 Speaker 1: like talk about this fancy concept. I mean, it's it's amazing, Carol. 372 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to be a debbi down, especially at 373 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: a time of greatness. But okay, GOP house, it's all great, 374 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: all that great things. But I don't understand. Someone has 375 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: to explain to me how a GOP Congress can do 376 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: anything about inflation. There's really nothing they can do right 377 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: or in my role. I mean, I think that at 378 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: a minimum, there needs to be a sense of urgency 379 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: to at a minimum try to do something and to 380 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: try to put Biden and whoever else on the record 381 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: to say, no, we don't want to fix the economy. 382 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: You know, from an energy standpoint, we have these companies 383 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: who aren't willing to make long term multibillion dollar investments 384 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: because you know, they believe that they're going to be 385 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: shut down. Biden campaigned on that giving them some level 386 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,199 Speaker 1: of certainty, creating a legal path to ensure that if 387 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: they make the investment, someone's not going to cut come 388 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: in and shut them down would be huge. You're trying 389 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: to make ESG illegal on the grounds of anti trust 390 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: and collusion and anti fiduciary duty so that money can 391 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 1: flow to the energy producers. You know, that's something that 392 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: they can do. Removing constraints that are blocking supply, that 393 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: are amping of the prices, whether it be some of 394 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: this anti warp legislation, or you know, some of the 395 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: costs of housing, but just making it easier for us 396 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: to get more supply in the things that we need. 397 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: Those are all fiscal policy related, and I personally believe 398 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: that there are more tools around fiscal policy in terms 399 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: of shifting to supply than there are from the FED. 400 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: Their only tool is killing demand, which means you're broke, 401 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: you don't have a job, and that's how they fix inflation. 402 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: That's not a good path. So I am hopeful that 403 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: there is a fiscal policy route and that there's the 404 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: fortitude to go after these things swiftly, you know, one 405 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: right after another. There cannot be any dally dallying here 406 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: to really make a change. Carol, one of the things 407 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: I talk about that is so incredibly boring. I can't 408 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: believe I get away with it, but I am passionate 409 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: about it. Is the Federal being the largest landowner in 410 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: the country that is insane for a government that's supposed 411 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 1: to be limited one and two. It gives them power, 412 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: way too much power for let's say Joe Biden to 413 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: walk into office and cancel a bunch of oil leases. 414 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: We have to remove that power. We can't get back 415 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: into office and then allow them to start drilling again. 416 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: But if the power remains in place, the next time 417 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: a Democrat comes in, boom, it's back off the table, 418 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: screwing up the oil industry for another four or five years. Well, 419 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: I can't believe you're using big words like landownership. I 420 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: hope the joy read can keep up with us here 421 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: because we're really going deep here. But yeah, there are 422 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: all of these powers that need to be abolished. I 423 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: think the landside's a good one. I also think the 424 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve is another one. They get their powers from Congress. 425 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: We can't just abolish the FED without raining in those powers, 426 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: because then what's going to happen is the only thing 427 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: worse than the Federal Reserve, which is Congress coming in 428 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: and setting monetary policy. We have to get rid of 429 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: those powers. We need to set growth in the money's 430 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: applied to GDP to do things that take away the 431 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 1: power from the government acting in a way that it 432 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: was never intended to act. And you know, there are 433 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: so many areas where they can start limiting those powers 434 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: and eventually that will make a huge difference. Kill Roth 435 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: come back soon. I appreciate you. Appreciate you as well. 436 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: My buddy Curtis Howe joins us. You know, I'm hearing 437 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: a lot though of talk about investigations, investigations to Hunter, Biden, FBI, 438 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: all things, Anthony Fauci, Republicans talking about going, you know, 439 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: all in if they take control of particularly the House. 440 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: Is that really what what you're campaigning Hunt to have 441 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: massive investigations in alls and I think that the House 442 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: and the Senate and the White House are going to 443 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: have to go to work and offer solutions. On top 444 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: of that, our democracy is better when our Congress exercises 445 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 1: its responsibility for oversight. By the way, Glen Younkin's a star. 446 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 1: I know a heavy D gets all the pub and 447 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: I love Heavy D and whatnot, but carry Leake's great. 448 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: But Glen Younkin, I talked to people. That guy he 449 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: thinks just like you. Joining me now, Curtis how Managing Editor, 450 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 1: Media Research Center, Curtis John. Carl's very concerned we might 451 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: have investigations. Lord knows, that would be terrible if we 452 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: dragged a presidency down with endless investigations, would it not? Yeah, 453 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Jesse, you would be terrible. He would 454 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: not be able to do his business to the American 455 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: people and be heavily medicated at the same time. I mean, 456 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: how would that even be possible? Well? No, Actually, back 457 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: in reality, we do have a similar counterpoint or previous 458 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: point in history. We have the Benghazi investigation. So in 459 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: preparation for tonight, I went back and looked and saw 460 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: what we found. What we studied is when the report 461 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: about the Benghazi attack came out, the news media covered 462 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: the gave about fifteen minutes, fourteen minutes and forty nine 463 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: seconds to the Benghazi report, but spent twenty eight minutes 464 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:34,479 Speaker 1: on Michelle Obama's birthday that years. That's a preview of 465 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: the priorities that the news media are going to be 466 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: doing with a lot of these investigations regarding COVID origins 467 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: and the hunter buying investigation, you know, House Oversight Committee chairman. 468 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: By all accounts, it's going to be Jim Comer, Kentucky. 469 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: He's gonna have a lot to deal with. But that's 470 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,479 Speaker 1: just kind of an idea. The media will cover it, 471 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: I think in some parts and other parts they will ignore. 472 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: They'll do what they did like this. They'll cover stupid 473 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: things instead. It the worst. On ABC News, we'll see 474 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: things like ten minutes on Michelle Obama's birthday to probably 475 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama's birthday in twenty twenty three, versus just two 476 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: minutes on Benghazi versus you know, fill in the blank 477 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: for what any investigation we're going to see next year. 478 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: And that's the real disparity. You know. Sometimes it is 479 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: the media just don't cover something at all. Other times 480 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: it's important to say that, yes, they did cover something, 481 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: but in proportion to what and that's where we see 482 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: the bias. So that's how they get you. They look 483 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: into everything. I always use this analogy that, yeah, they 484 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: look into every Democrat hole. When it's a scandal, they 485 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: just peek inside. When it's a GOP, they pull out 486 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: the bacco and dig to the center of the earth. 487 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: All right, Curtis impeachment. Actually, you know what, here's what 488 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: John call ought to say. What about all this impeachment talk. 489 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I've gone through I can count at least 490 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: three members of the Biden cabinet that Republicans have talked 491 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: about impeaching, and obviously they've already been speachment resolutions introduced, 492 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: many of them for Biden himself. Would that be a 493 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: mistake for Republicans to go in again? Each might believe 494 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: strongly that our democracy is better when our Congress exercises 495 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 1: its oversight functions. Curtis, I believe they should impeach Joe Biden, 496 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: not because Joe Biden's terrible, although that's true, or not 497 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: because I want Kamala Harris to be President of the 498 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: United States. I want them to impeach Joe Biden because 499 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: clearly Democrats are going to impeach every Republican president from 500 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: here to the end of time, so we might as 501 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: well water it down. So it's basically meaningless. But I'm 502 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: a bloodthirsty monster. What say you, Well, I do like that, yes, 503 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: John Carl RELI didn't like Glenn Youngcan's idea that Congress 504 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: should exert its oversight controls and oversight power. What they 505 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: don't like is the fact that Republicans won't be leaking 506 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: to them about what they're going to be doing. They 507 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: won't have Adam Schiff leaking to them about what's going on. 508 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: And I think if the Republicans have any buying, the 509 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: staff members of these committees need to be as strong 510 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: as possible, strong as hell, because otherwise you're going to 511 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: have the media needling them, You're gonna have Democrats on 512 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: the minority side trying to get cry information away from them, 513 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: and that, and especially when it comes to something like impeachment, 514 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: whether it's President Biden or DHS secretary monarchists, which definitely 515 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: I would say has way more support, and I think 516 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: is more of a definite just because out of basic 517 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: and competence ensure negligence, because we know what he's been 518 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: saying behind closed doors. He's been conceding many of the 519 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: points that those of us out in public have been saying, 520 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: and people can see what their own two eyes he's 521 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: been conceding them to Border Patrol officials when they're calling 522 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: for his head behind closed doors. So I would just 523 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: have that note of caution for anybody you know, either 524 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: in Washington or supporters of that that that's something that's 525 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: going to be a problem. Democratic leaks are going to 526 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: be employed to try and undermine any sort of impeachment 527 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: push or any sort of investigation. Yeah, I continue to 528 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: hear from virtually every GOOP elected official. I know that 529 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 1: Mayorchus is toast and iving toast toast. All right, let's 530 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: see how leadership holds up. We had Republican Scott Perry 531 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: on the shows. What do you have to say? The 532 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: conversation with leadership begins, and remember it's not leadership yet, 533 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: we've already started asking him what are you committed to doing? 534 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: What are you not only committed to asking for? What 535 00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: are you committed to fighting for? And what are you 536 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: committed to getting done? Like you know how you treat 537 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 1: us when when we don't want to vote for one 538 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: of your boondoggle things that the Democrats have the Democrats support. 539 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: What are you do willing to do with Republicans that 540 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: refuse to help out in saving the republic? We want 541 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: to know that plan, and if we don't see some 542 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: kind of a plan will look We'll see what the 543 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: numbers look like. But we're going to hold you accountable 544 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: and leadership at going to be so easy. At this point, Curtis, 545 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: what do you think the state of GOP leadership is? 546 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: Meaning how much of a hold on power do they have? 547 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: It's not the news that we have firebrands underneath that 548 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: are unhappy with leadership. It seems like we have a 549 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 1: lot more of them and that might become a problem. 550 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: Right Well, the issue is if everybody wants to be 551 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: a leader, then nobody can be a leader. And if 552 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: you have too many cooks in the kitchen, you know, 553 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: like a lot of things in life, then you kind 554 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: of start to have problems and the media will seize 555 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: on that. They will just savor that more than Kamala 556 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,800 Speaker 1: Harris chasing after I don't know what you chasing after words, 557 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: I guess to be generous, you know. So, I think 558 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: that's definitely going to be an issue that people are 559 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 1: going to have to pay attention to. The news media 560 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: are going to fester on GOP division. We saw that 561 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,719 Speaker 1: during the Trump years with never trumpers or even a 562 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: disgruntled former administration official. We're going to see that again. 563 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: So it's incumbent if you're a conservative to really be 564 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: paying attention and seeing, you know, is there something actually 565 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 1: going on between leadership or is it just media spin 566 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 1: because we know that's going to be there, So it's 567 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: incumbent for viewers to just be able to sort through 568 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: what's an actual dispute and what is the media just 569 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: trying to create division for the sake of it as 570 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: well to try and help their friends like Adam Schiff 571 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: and members of the squad. Jonas, thank you, my man. 572 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: I appreciate it as always. Josie, thank you. All right, 573 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: you know how we usually do light in the mood, 574 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: We're actually gonna do a darken the mood. Have a 575 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: I have a prediction, the just the theory. Hang on, 576 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: all right, let's darken the mood. Stay with me. I 577 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: have a theory, just something I see coming. I sincerely 578 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,240 Speaker 1: hope I'm wrong, but it's something I see coming. First 579 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,359 Speaker 1: of all, before I go into my theory, we better 580 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 1: understand something. Democrats are violent. They're violent by their very nature. 581 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: Now here's why. Let me explain. Let me explain. I 582 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,439 Speaker 1: know we have a bunch of Democrats who hate watch 583 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: Let me explain myself. The American system, the limited government, 584 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: constitutional system, whatever, that's a Republican system. The Republicans are 585 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 1: the ones that love the Constitution, and all the Republicans 586 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 1: are losers too. But in general Republicans are walking around 587 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 1: with the pocket Constitution and limited government and Second Amendment. Right. 588 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: So today's Democratic Party, I'm not talking about JFK stuff, 589 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: but today's Democratic Party, every part of it is designed 590 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: to tear apart that system. It's a revolutionary movement. Revolutions 591 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: are always violent. They are because you're not in power. 592 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: You're trying to destroy who's in power. So violence is 593 00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 1: simply part of it. MAO. Famously, stead all political power 594 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 1: comes out of the barrel of a gun. To this day, 595 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: you've probably seen this. Maybe you've experienced this. If you 596 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: get kind of a heated political debate with somebody in 597 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: person online, you can start counting the seconds until some 598 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: Democrats says we should find his address. Wait what why 599 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: does it? You're gonna hurt him, all right, So just 600 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: understand that. So here's my dark in the mood. So 601 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this and bruin On it has 602 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: been nagging at me after the election. How do Democrats 603 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: assess what happened and change? Will they assess what happened 604 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,919 Speaker 1: and change? Because I see all these articles coming out. Now, 605 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: it's time for Democrats to reassess. It's time for democrats 606 00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: to reflect. Only all the articles are coming from people 607 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: on the right, oftentimes friends of mine on the right. 608 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: Democrats have got to understand they're losing the working class. 609 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,800 Speaker 1: They're losing working class people, They're they're they're losing normal 610 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: I think we're all making a mistake. And here's what 611 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,680 Speaker 1: I mean. It is human nature to take your values 612 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,160 Speaker 1: and assign them to other people, and take kind of 613 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: how you are and assign that to someone else. But you, 614 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: you're a logical thinker. If you walked up a flight 615 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: of stairs, just one flight of stairs, and by the 616 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: time you got to the top, you're puffing and puffing 617 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: and dying, what would you say to yourself, Okay, I'm 618 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: out of shape, all right, I gotta start working out again. 619 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 1: I gotta eat a little bit. That's what you would say. 620 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: Because you're a logical thinker. Here you are, you're hurting. Okay, 621 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: what's wrong, I'm out of shape. I'll go down the 622 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: line of a logic and fix the problem. Get out, 623 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: get up, go for a walk tomorrow morning. Okay. But 624 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: you're assigning logical thinking to religious sellots. The religious sellots 625 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: have a history of logical thinking. The Democratic Party is 626 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: not run by Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden. That's a 627 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 1: lot that's not true. The Democratic Party is run by 628 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,359 Speaker 1: its bio base, the most insane ideas out there. I'm 629 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 1: just insane by any measure, not republican Democrat by any measure. 630 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: The most insane ideas out there are now mainstream Democrat 631 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: talking points because the vile base runs the Democratic Party. 632 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 1: Now we have politicians like Gretchen Whitmer out there on 633 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:20,799 Speaker 1: camera right before an election calling women people with periods. Right, 634 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 1: they think you can cut a boy's penis off and 635 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: make him a woman. These ideas are batty crazy. That 636 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: runs the Democratic Party. Now, those are mainstream ideas. Those 637 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: are religious zealots. So after an election you took a beating, 638 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 1: do you think the religious zealots are going to get 639 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 1: into room and decide that, hey, guys, maybe our religions wrong. 640 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: I'll beyond maybe we were wrong about the religion. Do 641 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: you think they're going to look at themselves in the 642 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,399 Speaker 1: mirror and self assess. But you know, maybe we should 643 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: drop the LGBTQ stuff. That's not very popular and guess what. 644 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 1: Opening the border not popular either. Maybe we shouldn't destroy 645 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: the oil industry. I actually love oil. Now do you 646 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: think that's going to happen? You know it's not. Of 647 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 1: course it's not going to happen. So here's my dark prediction. 648 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: Something's going to happen. Because when you have that level 649 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: of anger and sadness the South, there there's going to 650 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: be a response. You don't take anger and sadness and 651 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: just bottle it up and disappear. They're going to do something. 652 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: And if it's not going to be a self assessment, 653 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: then what is it. Well, we've had six years now 654 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: of violence from the vile Democrat base against people on 655 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: the right. I believe the incidents are over four hundred now, 656 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: assaults and murders, people on the right being hurt for 657 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 1: political reasons. So we're already dealing with violent people. You 658 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,359 Speaker 1: watch the BLM riots, the NT variots, the murders that 659 00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: you watched it all, We're already dealing with violent people. 660 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: I say the violence is about to get a lot worse. 661 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 1: And I think the violence is about to escalate in 662 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: the way of status. And here's what I mean by that, 663 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: not that this life is any less important. But it's 664 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: one thing for a MAGA guy with a hat on 665 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,760 Speaker 1: to get shot in the head and killed in Portland. 666 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 1: God rest his soul. That's bad. It's terrible. I believe 667 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 1: now GOP elected officials. I believe they're in very serious danger. 668 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,760 Speaker 1: And look, you can't even call me crazy. We already 669 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: had a Bernie Sanders supporter or try to assassinate a 670 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,719 Speaker 1: bunch of them. They're already chanting out in front of 671 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices homes. We already had an assassin fly 672 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: from California to murder Brett Cavanaugh. I think GOP judges 673 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: and elected officials had better up their personal security. And 674 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 1: I think they're going to start dying. I do, And 675 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: I know that's ugly, and that's a dark prediction. I 676 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: warn you it was a dark prediction. But when you're 677 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: in a late stage republic and the violence in politics 678 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 1: has escalated and escalated and escalated and escalated, you're not 679 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: going to take this big election loss and then turn 680 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,919 Speaker 1: around and say, hey guys, let's be peaceful. Huh, hey, 681 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 1: let's take it easy. Everybody. That's crazy. That's not how 682 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: these people think. They don't ramp down Evil doesn't ramp down, 683 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,279 Speaker 1: Evil ramps up. How's that for dark in the mood? 684 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: All right, I'll see it. Each morning, the President of 685 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,880 Speaker 1: the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the 686 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: most important issues facing the country.
