1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: The Pete hagg Seth confirmation hearing is spicy and wonderful.

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk about everything that happened there, the Biden doj

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: making some late corrupt moves. Surprise, surprise, Josh Hammer joins us.

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: All that and more coming up on them, right, All right,

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Pete hagg Seth confirmation hearing from

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: earlier today.

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: It was quite a spectacle.

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: But before we launch into that, all the Pete's opening stuff.

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: Tim Kaines an idiot guillebrand.

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: But we have a lot.

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring it here in just a moment. Let's

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: just talk about why I'm so supportive of somebody like

13
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: Pete hagg Seth getting into an important position of power,

14
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: because he is different, most definitely different. In fact, he

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: really talked about being a change agent today.

16
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: Now it is true and has been acknowledged that I

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: don't have a similar biography to defense secretaries of the

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 3: last thirty years.

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 4: But as President Trump.

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: Also told me, we've repeatedly placed people atop the Pentagon

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: with supposedly the right credentials, whether they are retired generals, academics,

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: or defense contractor executives. And where has it gotten us

23
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: he believes, and I humbly agree that it's time to

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 3: give someone with dust on his boots the helm. A

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: change agent, someone with no vested interest in certain companies

26
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 3: or specific programs or approved narratives. My only special interest

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: is the warfighter. I've led troops in combat, I've been

28
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: on patrol for days. I've pulled a trigger down range,

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: heard bullets whiz by, flexcuffed insurgents, called in close air support,

30
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 3: led metavacs, dodged IEDs, pulled out dead bodies, and knelt

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: before a battlefield cross.

32
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: This is not academic for me.

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: This is my life, good right, but a change agent.

34
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: So why am I so supportive? I want to explain

35
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: it in this way because it's not just the hag

36
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: seth appointment that I approve of. I approve of a

37
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: lot of the people coming their confirmation hearing is people

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: who I really have problems with, a lot of people

39
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: I disagree with. So I'll make a sports analogy. Because

40
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: everyone's talking football right now. I guess I think it's

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: the NFL playoffs. I don't watch that anymore. I know

42
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: the College football National Championship is a week from now,

43
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: so football is on everybody's mind.

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: So picture it this way.

45
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: You have a football team, we'll make it, who's one

46
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: of the historically great ones, Ohio State, historically great, and

47
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: they're winning ten, eleven, twelve games every year, always flirting

48
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: with a national title. And then someone suggests, you know what,

49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: let's get rid of all these coaches. There's some high

50
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: school team in Wisconsin running this really quirky offense. Let's

51
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: completely rip out the Ohio State coaching staff and replace

52
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: it with this quirky little high school team. You would

53
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: have a problem with that. I would have a problem

54
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: with that.

55
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: We all would. But wait a minute, what why are

56
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: we changing what's working.

57
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: So that's one scenario. The other scenario is this, let's

58
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: focus on a really horrible school, Michigan. We'll make this

59
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: about Michigan. Michigan is hot, stinky garbage. They've been garbage forever,

60
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: just a horrible, horrible school full of horrible people and

61
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: a horrible football program.

62
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: Michigan hasn't won a game in forty years. Now.

63
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: If you say I want to rip out that coaching

64
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: staff and go grab some quirky high school coaching staff,

65
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: well yeah, let's try it. Let's try something different. Maybe

66
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: the high school coaching staff will come in and fall

67
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: flat on their face. Maybe they'll come in and turn

68
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: things around. But one thing we absolutely positively cannot do

69
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: under any circumstances is continue with the current failed coaching

70
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: staff here in the United States of America, our military.

71
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: This will be about other people who are going to

72
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: get confirmed, Lord Willing, but we'll beg this about haig

73
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: set today. Our military fought ag war, global war on Terror,

74
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: two wars, two theaters for twenty years, twenty years of failure,

75
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: twenty years without the mission being clear, twenty years of

76
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: embarrassing policies being handed down. I remember being Iraq, and

77
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: I remember given orders that came from up on high

78
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: somewhere that we were.

79
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: No longer allowed to fly our American flags from our amtraks.

80
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: Twenty years of embarrassing failure from generals and admirals. And

81
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: these really, really, really the important people, the troops being

82
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: treated poorly, VA system in complete disarray, failed systems after

83
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: failed systems, trying to win hearts.

84
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 2: And minds, of course, and in the end, I racks.

85
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: A disaster in Afghanistan is still even worse than not

86
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: one general or admiral has voluntarily resigned in disgrace. Whatever

87
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: we have now, it's not working. In fact, the war

88
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: games we play with Russia, we've war gamed it.

89
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: We lose all of them. We are simply not ready.

90
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: So Pete Hegseth my personal approval of him aside, he's

91
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: someone I know. But setting that aside, Pete Hegseth is

92
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: a change agent, and I genuinely don't know whether he's

93
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: going to get everything right or maybe he'll fail. I

94
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: have a hard time leaving people fail. But what we

95
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: cannot have under any circumstance is the status quo, and surprise, surprise,

96
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: that's exactly what Elizabeth Warren wants.

97
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 5: In other words, you're quite sure that every general who

98
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: serves should not go directly into the defense industry for

99
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 5: ten years. You're not willing to make that same pledge.

100
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 4: I'm not a general, Senator, you'll be the one.

101
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 5: Let us just be clear in charge of the generals.

102
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Something you should understand about these senators, as producer mad

103
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: who came up with us, and he's so right. These

104
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: senators they have staffers who write most of their questions.

105
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: You think Elizabeth Warren really sat down and dug into

106
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth or her background. Well, if you're a Democrat senator,

107
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: you're really stuck these days because you have to hire

108
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: democrats out of college to come intern for you. Well,

109
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: the democrats you're getting out of college today are extra

110
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: stupid and extra coming, so they don't know anything, so

111
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: they'll write questions for you. You ask those questions on

112
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: national television and then with a quick little comeback from

113
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth, you look like an idiot, Brandon. That's Elizabeth

114
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: Warren's specialty. But Elizabeth Warren, I doubt she's a believer

115
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: in God. She should, however, get down on her knees

116
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: tonight and thank him profusely, because she's far from being

117
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: the dumbist senator in the United States Senate. That award

118
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: goes to now, and I think it'll go to her forever.

119
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: One Mazie Herono of Hawaii, Hawaii, my word, seriously, will.

120
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 6: You resign as Secretary of Defense if you drink on

121
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 6: the job, which is a twenty four to seventh position.

122
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 4: I've made this commitment on behalf of.

123
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 6: Will you resign as Secretary of Defense?

124
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: I've made these commitment on behalf of the men and

125
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: women I'm service. I'm not because he's the most important deployment.

126
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 6: Hearing an answer to my question, so I'm going to

127
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 6: move on. Would you carry out an order to shoe

128
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 6: protest surery in the legs?

129
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: I saw service agents to get injured by riders trying

130
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: to jump over the fence, set church on fire and destroyer.

131
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 6: That sounds to me that you will comply with such

132
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 6: an order you will shoot protesters in the leg moved on.

133
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 6: President has attacked our allies in recent weeks, refusing to

134
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 6: rule out using military force to take over Greenland and

135
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 6: the Panama Canal, and they're threatening to take to make

136
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 6: Canada the fifty first state. Would you carry out an

137
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 6: order from President Trump to seize Greenland, a territory of

138
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 6: our NATO ally Denmark, by force? Or how would you

139
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 6: comply with an order to take over the Panama Canal?

140
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 4: Senator.

141
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: I will emphasize that President Trump received seventy seven million

142
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: votes to be the lawful commander.

143
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: We're not talking about the election.

144
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 6: My question is would you use our military to take

145
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 6: over Greenland or are an ally of Denmark?

146
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: Senator.

147
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 3: One of the things that President Trump is so good

148
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 3: at is never strategically tipping his hand. And so I

149
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: would never in this public forum give one way or

150
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: another direct orders the president in any context.

151
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 6: That sounds to me that you would contemplate carrying out

152
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 6: such an order to basically invade Greenland. You will not

153
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 6: enable our service members to seek reproductive care.

154
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: I don't believe the federal government not.

155
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 6: Hearing answers to my question.

156
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: Chairman, she's so dumb.

157
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: But she's a United States Senator and she's so dumb,

158
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: and honestly, I'm not even sure if she I'm not

159
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: even sure if that was the most embarrassing part of

160
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: the day for Democrats.

161
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: Kirsten Gillibrand, is something else.

162
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 7: You will have to change how you see women to

163
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 7: do this job well. And I don't know if you

164
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 7: are capable of that. You've denigrated active duty service members.

165
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 7: We have hundreds, hundreds of women who are currently in

166
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 7: the infantry, lethal members of our military serving in the infantry,

167
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 7: but you degrade them. You say we need moms, but

168
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 7: not in the military, especially in combat units. So please

169
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 7: explain these types of statements because they're brutal, and they're mean,

170
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 7: and they disrespect men and women who are willing to

171
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 7: die for this country. You cannot denigrate women in general,

172
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 7: and your statements do that we don't want women in

173
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 7: the military, especially in combat. What a terrible statement. So

174
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 7: women you have denigrated, you have also denigraded members of

175
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 7: the LGBTQ community. To denigrate LGBTQ service members is a mistake.

176
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 7: If you are a sharpshooter, you're as lethal regardless of

177
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 7: what your gender identity is, regardless of who you love.

178
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 7: The statements you said about people who have views differently

179
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 7: than you that were the enemy, are you saying the

180
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 7: fifty percent of the DoD if they hold liberal views

181
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 7: or leftist views or our Democrats, are not welcome in

182
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 7: the military.

183
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 3: Are you saying that, Senator I volunteered to deploy to

184
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: Afghanistan under Democrat President Barack Obama. I also volunteered to

185
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 3: guard the inauguration of Joe Biden, but was denied the

186
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 3: opportunity to serve because I was identified as an extremist

187
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: by my own unit for a Christian tattoo.

188
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: Embarrassing, but I didn't want to end on that note.

189
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: You see, We've been interviewing senator after senator, and I've

190
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: been talking to them privately and I don't know if

191
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: you've noticed, if you've been watching I'm right regularly, which of.

192
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 2: Course you have.

193
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: The senators all seem to be saying that all of

194
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: Trump's nominees are going to go through, every one of them, to.

195
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: A man, they're going to go through. They're going to

196
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: go through. They're all going to get approved.

197
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: In fact, even the weenies the sissies publicly they're running

198
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: to the news saying, no, I think they're all going

199
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: to go through.

200
00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: In fact, I saw.

201
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: Senator Joni Ertz today kind of changing her tune from

202
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: earlier singing Pete heegsas praises, I.

203
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 8: Ask unanimous consent to enter into the record. A letter

204
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 8: submitted by mister Mark Lucas, who is a fellow Iowan

205
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 8: and Iowa Army National Guard member. Mister Lucas and I

206
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,239
Speaker 8: served together in the Iowa Army National Guard. He succeeded

207
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 8: Pete Hegseth as executive director of Concerned Veterans for America,

208
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 8: and in his letter, mister Lucas says that mister Hegseth

209
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 8: quote laid a strong foundation that postured CVA for long

210
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 8: term success end quote, and that mister Hegseth quote continued

211
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 8: to be an invaluable asset to both me as a

212
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 8: leader and the organization end quote. So I would ask

213
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 8: for unanimous consent to enter this Washington Times article and

214
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 8: the letter from mister Mark Lucas into the record.

215
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, she's being super helpful.

216
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: All these super sissy senators are even on board. Now, Oh,

217
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: they're all going to get confirmed. So what changed? What happened?

218
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: You happened. Give yourself a lot of credit.

219
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: You were the reason the GOP Senate is probably just

220
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: going to stamp in approval on all these Trump nominees.

221
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: You see Jonie Ernst and the losers like her, they

222
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: decided they were going to try to pull a fast

223
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: one and do the Deep States bidding and try to

224
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: handicap these nominees. And they started running their mouths publicly,

225
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: well I'm not really sure if we can support and well,

226
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: I don't really know. I am a senator, I'm very important.

227
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: And they had venom poured on them from you from

228
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: the public. The public said you better confirm these people

229
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: or were coming for your Senate seats, And what do

230
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, a couple weeks of that venom and they're

231
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: all on the team. Now let this be a lesson

232
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: to you, me, all of us. Bully your local gopre

233
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: into doing what's right, as he never is going to

234
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: have the guts to do it on his own.

235
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: All that may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right.

236
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: The great Congressman Chip Royd joins us in a moment

237
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: before we do that. You don't have to bully pure

238
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: Talk into doing what's right. They've been doing it for

239
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: a very long time. Puretalk their CEO did two tours

240
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: in Vietnam. Oh he wasn't stpland papers mac v SOG.

241
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: We're talking behind enemy lines stuff. That's the guy who

242
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: runs pure Talk. Why is it you never see planned

243
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: parenthood donations from Pure Talk? Black Lives Matter? Why don't

244
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: you see any of this DEI stuff? In fact, they

245
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: even hire Americans. Who does that? A company's staff with patriots,

246
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: that's who does that.

247
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: That's why I love them. And they're on the same

248
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: vibe G networks.

249
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: So you don't sacrifice service, you'll save money and it's

250
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: quick easy pure talk dot com slash jessetv.

251
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: Now is the time to switch. We'll be back.

252
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 9: That are you aware of these emails being sent to officers.

253
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 3: Senator, you mentioned the word accountability, which is something we

254
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: have not had for the last four years.

255
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 10: Are you aware of these messages being sent to officers.

256
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 4: Certainly, I'm not aware of that. It's not one of

257
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 4: my efforts.

258
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: But there's been no accountability for the disaster of the

259
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: withdrawal in Afghanistan. And that's precisely why we're here today,

260
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: is that leadership has been unwilling to take accountability, and

261
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 3: it's the time to restore that to our most senior ranks.

262
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 9: You've written publicly that diipology distraction and have military personnel

263
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 9: walking on edgshails.

264
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah sounds good twenty me. Now, great congressman from the

265
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: state of Texas, Chip Roy Okay, Chip. Look to me

266
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: like Pete did pretty well today. I'm assuming he's gravy.

267
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: The question is the other nominees, But I don't know.

268
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: You tell me you're inside the belly of the beast.

269
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 10: Well, I had to enjoy yesterday the Washington Post put

270
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 10: out a list of you know, who they support and

271
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 10: don't support, and they had four they didn't support, my

272
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 10: good friend Russ Boat being one and Pete Hegsett being one, which.

273
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: Tells me those four are the ones to really go

274
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: fight for. Right. If the post is opposing.

275
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 10: Him, then we know those four are great, So it

276
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 10: doesn't mean some of the others aren't good too. But look,

277
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 10: Pete did a great job today from what I saw.

278
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 10: I was able to watch maybe thirty to forty five

279
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 10: minutes into hearing while I was doing other things on

280
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 10: the House side. But he pushed back hard on, you know,

281
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 10: the narrative that the Democrats are putting forward against him,

282
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 10: pushed back on all of the you know, slander that's

283
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 10: been levied at him, and I think he did a

284
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 10: great job of that. But importantly, he made very clear

285
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 10: that you know, he is the the you know, he

286
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 10: will be the soldier's secretary, right, he will be the

287
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 10: guy that'll be fighting for the guys that have actually

288
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 10: been out there taking bullets, that have been on the

289
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 10: front lines fighting for this country, not the brass, not

290
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 10: the fat cats in Washington, not the k Street lobbyists,

291
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 10: who are the ones that have been driving our defense

292
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 10: policy for too long. Which, by the way, I hope

293
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 10: he sends that message to Congress because my colleagues have

294
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 10: their head up their rear right now and they're about

295
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 10: to try to go do a deal with Democrats to

296
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 10: pass that monster appropriations package rather than cutting spending and

297
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 10: limiting the size and scope of government, which is no

298
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 10: way to start things under the Trump administration.

299
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Okay, you have to tell us all about that. What's

300
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: happening right now?

301
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 10: Well, right now the House Freedom Caucus, which gets maligned

302
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 10: by my swamp creature Republican colleagues, we went and presented

303
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 10: the administration and our colleagues in the House of the

304
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 10: Senate what we believe was a reasonable approach to increase

305
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 10: the debt sealing something like four trillion dollars over two

306
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 10: years in exchange for guaranteeing that our border gets funded

307
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 10: and secured, defense gets funded and secured two hundred billion

308
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 10: dollars for modernization, not DEI and woke garbage, and then

309
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 10: importantly that we start cutting Biden's garbage right eb mandates,

310
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 10: cut the student loan fiasco and pay for those things

311
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 10: we wanted upfront cuts and in exchange for that, secure

312
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 10: the border, defense and a debt ceiling increase for the president.

313
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 10: But our swamp preacher colleagues are rejecting that, and instead

314
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 10: what they're talking about now is the monster, big reconciliation package,

315
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 10: which won't have the cuts in place that need to

316
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 10: be put in place unless we fight for them.

317
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: And importantly, they're.

318
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 10: Now talking about taking the debt ceiling probably four years

319
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 10: and ten trillion dollars, attaching that to the appropriations package,

320
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 10: plus stop plus funding for California and put that all

321
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 10: in one great, big package, because that's the way swamp

322
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 10: creatures think. I hope the President's team comes in and

323
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 10: rejects that. It tells them it's a bad idea. We

324
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 10: need to change the way this town works, and that's

325
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 10: not the way to do it.

326
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: Good grief, these people. None of these people care about

327
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: the debt at all to do that. None of them

328
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: is going to keep going until the dollar just strat

329
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: straight up collapses.

330
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 10: Yeah, and they literally have an excuse for everything. And

331
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 10: their biggest excuse right now is that ship away and

332
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 10: the Freedom Caucus will never vote for a debt sealing increase. Well,

333
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 10: you know what, we put a proposal on the table.

334
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 10: We did say we would vote to raise the debt ceiling,

335
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 10: but only responsibly if we get cuts and the things

336
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 10: that we need for this country. They want to continue

337
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 10: like business as usual. I'm not going to stand for it,

338
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 10: and I'm not going to be leveraged by the way.

339
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm not going to.

340
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 10: Let them put the border security on a monster big

341
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 10: bill that doesn't cut spending and has kse Street giveaways

342
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 10: and the tax policy rather than doing what we need

343
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 10: to do for the hardworking American and right now, you

344
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 10: know what that is, getting rid of the inflation that's

345
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 10: taxing the hardworking American family, getting rid of the health

346
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 10: tax on the American people by having these big insurance

347
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 10: companies screwing them. And so I'm going to stand up

348
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 10: for the little guy in this country rather than what's

349
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 10: going on in Washington.

350
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: Good things. Something's never changed.

351
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: When is all this stuff coming ship?

352
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 10: Well, we put border proposal, we think we ought to

353
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 10: do a two bill approach, and look, by the way,

354
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 10: I understand why the President says he might want a

355
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 10: one bill approach and try to get it all done together.

356
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 10: I'd be happy to do that if my swamp preacher

357
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 10: friends weren't more for tax giveaways that won't go to deficit,

358
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 10: reduce deficits, and won't cut spending. But what I'm trying

359
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 10: to do is get early wins so we can show

360
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 10: unity and deliver for the president, get the dead ceiling,

361
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 10: get the border, get the defense, and so forth. But

362
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 10: right now, the swamp preachers want to try to drive

363
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 10: this train through in the next few weeks. I think

364
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 10: that will harm the President's agenda. I think that will

365
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 10: harm our unity. So I'm going to keep trying to,

366
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 10: you know, convince these guys to do the right thing.

367
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 10: There are a lot of us who want to do

368
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 10: the right thing, and we'll keep working to do it.

369
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: Well. At least Joe Biden's all over it. He's sending

370
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: the Secret Service down to the border. Here.

371
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 11: He was, Look, let's catch something in mind about the border.

372
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 11: When I became president, the numbers came way down in

373
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 11: I'm in the world number two. We had a circumstance

374
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 11: where I pushed very hard from BI partnersan agreement to.

375
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 4: Put more on the border, more.

376
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 11: More, more secret services.

377
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: And guess what if he's on a phone saying, don't

378
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 4: do it, don't do it? Make me look bad?

379
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: Oh, Chip, this nightmares. It's less than a week left. Chip,

380
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can take it. I might

381
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: have to go to a cabin in the woods for

382
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: a week. I can't do this anymore. It's so embarrassing.

383
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, the first part of it was

384
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 10: just a you know, bald faced lie. I mean, and

385
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 10: Bill Malusian pointed out yesterday and he does a great

386
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 10: reporting for Fox on the border, but.

387
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: It's just straight up a lie.

388
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 6: I mean.

389
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 10: The numbers is obviously skyrockets of your listeners and viewers

390
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 10: know that, but that last stuff just shows you, you know,

391
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 10: sharp as attacked Joe Biden. Democrats knew what was going on,

392
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 10: you know last July when I was initially calling for

393
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 10: him to have to step aside and the twenty fifth

394
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 10: Amendment to be in both because I thought you should

395
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 10: have to happen and Kamala Harri should have to own it.

396
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: It was because of this.

397
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 10: We've had this guy as the president since last July

398
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 10: and we shouldn't.

399
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: And so you know, look here we are.

400
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 12: Thank god President Trump won.

401
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 10: We'll get busy on Monday, we'll swear them in and

402
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,479
Speaker 10: we got to get busy working. But Congress needs to

403
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 10: not stand in the way of the actual America First agenda,

404
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 10: and I'm worried that they will. So my job is

405
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 10: to try to highlight that and make clear what we're

406
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 10: trying to actually do to advance the America First Agenda.

407
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: Stay on them, Chip rooting for you, come back sooner,

408
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Freaking Congress as always kind of thing that

409
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: can keep you up at night unless you're taking your

410
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: dream powder from Beam.

411
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: Doesn't keep me up at night.

412
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Nothing keeps me up at night now, because when I

413
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm maybe gonna be too wired, not gonna

414
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: be able to sleep, I just have a couple of

415
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: hot chocolate.

416
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 2: It's delicious hot chocolate. It's called dream powder.

417
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: I warm up a little thing of milk, pour some

418
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: dream powder in there, and I just sit and sip

419
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: on it. Only it has things in it, natural things,

420
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: drug free. It has natural things that just relax.

421
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: Me and put me to sleep. I sleep like a baby.

422
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: I sleep through the night, and I wake up ready

423
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: to take on the day. Do you want that every night?

424
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: And take it every night? Try it up to forty

425
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: percent off Shopbeam dot com. Slash Jesse Kelly, we'll be

426
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: back late last night. Jack Smith, the former Special Council,

427
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: I guess I should say, released his investigative.

428
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: Report on Donald Trump.

429
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna allow Josh to correct me if I'm wrong.

430
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: But releasing a report when you've dropped the entire thing

431
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: is really just one last attempt at a public smear.

432
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: But I want to hear what Josh has to say

433
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: about it. He's the one who knows. Joining me now,

434
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: my friend host of America on Trial and new father,

435
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: Josh Hammer. Josh, why release the report?

436
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 12: Jesse? Always great to join you, my good friends.

437
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 9: So this is somewhat unusual insofar as for you know,

438
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 9: by the way, he's not merely former special counsel. He's

439
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 9: former so called special counsel Jacksmith, because he's not actually

440
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 9: a special council in the first place. I mean Jack

441
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 9: Smith is a special council, as when of my friends

442
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 9: put it to me earlier today, the same way that

443
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 9: the so called black Hebrew Israelites are Israelites. I mean,

444
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 9: he is a fake special council, which is why he

445
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 9: was dismissed from the Florida case by Judge Aleen Cannon

446
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 9: Florida back in July. Clarence Thomas in the Trump vversus

447
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 9: United States Scot's opinion back on July one, had the

448
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 9: same conclusion there, so he was illegitimate from the get

449
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 9: go there, But he ultimately faced reality and moved to

450
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 9: its draw both of his cases against Donald Trump in

451
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 9: both Florida, the classified docs case at mar A Lago

452
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 9: as well as the January sixth, twenty twenty election case

453
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 9: in DC. There, and it is similar unusual to have

454
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 9: a prosecutor who has moved to remove his own cases,

455
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 9: who has not actually taken those cases to its logical conclusion.

456
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 9: He has not taken it to a judge. He's not

457
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 9: taken it to a jury. You've not gone a guilt

458
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 9: and acquittal, a mistrial. There's been no result other than

459
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 9: you moving to remove your own case. It is a

460
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 9: little unusual to then have the ability to file a

461
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 9: final report. So I was hoping that that Judge Cannon

462
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 9: and the other judges involved here might have just prevented

463
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 9: this from happening in the first place there, because you

464
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 9: basically forfeited your ability to do so from my perspective,

465
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 9: when you yourself, dude, moved to end these cases and

466
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 9: terminate them there. But to your point, the reason that

467
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 9: he's trying to do this there is because he's trying

468
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 9: to write for the history books. He's trying to preserve

469
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 9: the perceived legitimacy of his year's long legal jihad. He

470
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 9: is trying to convince generations of high schoolers of law

471
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 9: students ten twenty thirty years from now that he was

472
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 9: in the right and that you, the American people, the voter,

473
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 9: were in the wrong. Unfortunately for Jack Smith, for Merrick Garland,

474
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 9: for Joe Biden, frankly, unfortunately for Alvin Bragg, for Fannie Wills,

475
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 9: for all the various tentacles of what I like to

476
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 9: call the Democrat law fair complex. Unfortunately for them, history

477
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 9: is written by the winners. History is not written by

478
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 9: the loser. So Jack Smith is trying to write and

479
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 9: make a play here for the history books, but he's

480
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 9: fundamentally going to come up short.

481
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: I think. But did they lose, Josh, I mean in

482
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: the end, yes, Donald Trump won the election, of course,

483
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: But Fannie willis You and I both know she's gonna

484
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 1: get re elected or even move up. Alvin Bragg. His

485
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: sham trials in New York. They're not going to hurt

486
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg's career. He's going to run on those and

487
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: he's going to be a senator, a governor, or something else.

488
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: They didn't lose in the end, right.

489
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 9: Well, on an individual level. I mean Fannie Wilson, Fulton County, Georgia.

490
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 12: You're right.

491
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 9: I mean that's Atlanta that has a very very blue

492
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 9: jurisdiction these days. Alvin Bragg is in Manhattan that is

493
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 9: probably even further left, or maybe slightly less left, but similar.

494
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 9: But I think they lost Jesse kind of zooming out

495
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 9: insofar as they lost the election. I mean they've lost

496
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 9: what they were purportedly trying to do, which was to

497
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 9: try to derail Donald Trump's primary campaign in the GOP primary,

498
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 9: and more to the point, to make sure that he

499
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 9: would not be elected as the forty seventh President of

500
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 9: the United States. That, above all is what they were

501
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 9: trying to do there, and once upon a time in

502
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 9: the eyes of the mainstream legal commentariat there they viewed

503
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 9: a lot of these cases as open and shut, ironclad cases,

504
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 9: the way that MSNBC, CNN, the New York Times, so forth,

505
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 9: the way that they used to talk about the case

506
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 9: in Washington, d C. In particular, the Marquee case of

507
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 9: the Democrat Law Fair Complex, the January sixth, twenty twenty case.

508
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 9: There they were saying, this was the safest thing imaginable,

509
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 9: or the safest thing at least in decades there, and

510
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 9: it all fell apart. Not only did it all fall apart,

511
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 9: but it had the reverse effect. It had the effect

512
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 9: of boosting Donald Trump in the primary over his primary competitors,

513
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 9: and it had the effect of boosting him in the

514
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 9: general election as well. The American people were not having

515
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 9: it with this law fare. So yes, they have succeeded

516
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 9: to an extent, insofar as they have set an extraordinarily

517
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 9: dangerous precedent. We have crossed not merely the Rubicon, we've

518
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 9: crossed frankly the Atlantic Ocean at this point there when

519
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 9: it comes to trying to turn America into a third

520
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 9: world sub Saharan Africa tinpot dictatorship.

521
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 12: I'm not sure when we're going to get.

522
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 9: Back from that abyss anytime sooner or anything there, but

523
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 9: they fundamentally have lost when it comes to their overall

524
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 9: number one mission to derail Donald Trump.

525
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: What about this case against Hunter Biden, David Weiss released

526
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: his final report, What are we supposed to make all this?

527
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 9: Well, David Wise is basically excoriating Joe Biden here for

528
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 9: having the temerity to critics that criticized the Justice Department. Now,

529
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 9: this case was interesting from the get go right. So

530
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 9: David Weiss was the special counsel on Hunter Biden. He

531
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 9: was also the US Attorney for Delaware, which, by the way,

532
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 9: is kind of odd because a sitting active US attorney

533
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 9: is not supposed to actually be a special counsel. The

534
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 9: DJ has protocols that purportally exist to prevent exactly that

535
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 9: from happening. No one seemed to care, which as a lawyer,

536
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 9: I continued to find a little odd there. But David

537
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 9: Wise did pursue the gun case against Hunter Biden in

538
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 9: Delaware through to a conviction. He almost was surely was

539
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 9: going to be able to get a conviction out in

540
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 9: Los Angeles as well, before they ultimately got that plead

541
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 9: deal the week that that trial in Los Angeles in

542
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 9: September was about to get started there and then we all,

543
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 9: you know, look, the whole world saw what Joe Biden did.

544
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 9: I mean, he reversed his you know, approximately five thousand

545
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 9: times that he said he was not going to pardon

546
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 9: his son. He reversed all that. In the blink of

547
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 9: an eye of there he pardons the son. And then

548
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 9: he says that the Justice Department handled this in an

549
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 9: improper and politicized manner.

550
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 12: I'm sorry, mister presidents.

551
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 9: When Donald Trump was saying the exact same thing about

552
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 9: former so called special counsel Jack Smith, when Donald Trump

553
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 9: was saying all those exact same things, Joe Biden was saying,

554
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 9: Oh he's sowing the seeds of discording the justice system.

555
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 9: Oh he's trying to destabilize the constitution, and fascist tyrant

556
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 9: Hitler or Nazee whatever, they're so shirley. What's good for

557
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 9: the goose is good for the gander.

558
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: There.

559
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 9: So that's basically a little bit of what David Weiss

560
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 9: has here in his report. He's basically saying, mister President's,

561
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 9: I mean, look, you have the part of power and fury.

562
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 9: You can do what you want, even if it is

563
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 9: something as venal and corrupt and self dealing and grossly

564
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 9: cynical with the Hunter Biden part, and you theoretically have

565
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 9: that power within your legitimate constitutional authority. But don't do

566
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 9: what you criticize your opponent of doing. In so far

567
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 9: as trying to criticize the Justice Department in this case

568
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 9: is doubly embarrassing because it's actually Joe Biden's own Justice apartment.

569
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 9: If you really cared that much, you could have fired

570
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 9: David White' special counsel and prevented it from game to

571
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 9: this point.

572
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: Josh, how did those two get crossways? Because David Weiss

573
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: may have done all that, but David Weiss was obviously

574
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: put there to run cover for Hunter, gave him a

575
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: sweetheart deal that was going to get through in Delaware

576
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: if not for a judge. And now those two were

577
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: taking little pop shots like high school girls at each other.

578
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: Is it just because Joe Biden called him politicized?

579
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 9: Well, you're totally right. So just to be clear here,

580
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 9: David Weise, he brought two prosecutions against Hunter Biden. There

581
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 9: was this gun case involving this revolver that Hunter Biden

582
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 9: literally wrote about in his book. I mean, first of all,

583
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 9: what and moron you have to be to literally admit

584
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 9: to a federal crime in an actual book. You actually

585
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 9: had prosecutors reading from Hunter Biden's book at that trial.

586
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 12: I mean, I mean, I'm serious, Yessing, how stupid do

587
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 12: you have to be?

588
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: Right?

589
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 9: So, I mean he brought this gun case acaust Hunter

590
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 9: Biden and Delaware, and then he brought this tax case

591
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 9: out in Los Angeles, which was similarly ironclad but before

592
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 9: they reached a plea deal. But he deliberately slow walked

593
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 9: everything else so Farah, the Foreign Agents Registration Act, which

594
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 9: Hunter Biden was guilty as a clam of violating on

595
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 9: behalf of Brisbane, Ukraine in particular, arguably also Romania, China,

596
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 9: maybe other countries as well, but definitely Ukraine Fara has

597
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 9: a five year statute of limitations, and David Weiss slow

598
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 9: walked the crap out of his investigation there. It seemed

599
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 9: to many of us like he was trying to slow

600
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 9: walk away that five year statute of limitation so as

601
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 9: to basically try to land the Hunter Biden plane safely,

602
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 9: so to speak.

603
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: There.

604
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 9: So you're totally right there, but yeah, they're but now

605
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 9: they're at odds there because Joe Biden. If you know,

606
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 9: if I can, if I can psychoanalyze Joe Biden just

607
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 9: for a second here, you know, he has the fragile

608
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 9: ego of a kindergartener. This is someone who is the

609
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 9: oldest president American history, but he has the ego of

610
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 9: someone who who is like one twentieth or thirtieth or

611
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 9: whatever of his age. If you criticize Joe Biden at all,

612
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 9: there he is going to lash out of you. He

613
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 9: has an infamous temper. He cannot stand being criticized. What's there,

614
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 9: that's basically I think where this is coming from. But

615
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 9: you're totally right. David Weis was trying to help Joe Biden,

616
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 9: and I guess he has now found out what happens

617
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 9: when you try to help a man as fickle and

618
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 9: frankly irascible as Joe Biden.

619
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: Irascible. That's a great word.

620
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure out what that used, how to use

621
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: that word. I'm gonna say it in a sentence later

622
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: on today. All right, Josh, Finally I saw the Washington Post,

623
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: one of the more despicable papers in the United States

624
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: of America. They put out the list of Trump nominees

625
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: they approve of and disapprove of, and one of the

626
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: ones they approved of concerns me, Josh, because it's the

627
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: Washington Post, and because in my mind, there is nothing

628
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: more important than the DOJ stopping the government protection racket

629
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: it has become. Pam Bondy got a big, fat thumbs

630
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: up from the Washington Post. Now everybody I talked too

631
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: speaks highly of Pam Bondy. I'm not here to trash

632
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: your reputation, but at the Washington Post, like Sir Josh,

633
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: I have concerns. Jesse.

634
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 9: Look, I mean, Pam Bondi would not have been my

635
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 9: number one pick, if I'm being very candid with you.

636
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 9: She is not who I would have personally advised Donald

637
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 9: Trump to pick for attorney general there. But she's perfectly serviceable.

638
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 9: I mean, she's going to do a perfectly fine job there.

639
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 9: You know, she was a two term attorney general of

640
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 9: my state, of the state of Florida, and she was

641
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 9: a leading conservative crusader during her years as a state

642
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 9: attorney general. She was one of the tips of the

643
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 9: spears against Obamacare back when that was a fight she

644
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 9: actually fought pretty courgeously, if memory serves, on the same

645
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 9: sex marriage issue as well, before the Supreme Court took

646
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 9: that off the table in the Obergefel case of twenty fifteen.

647
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 9: There my only objection to Pam Bondi is that I

648
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 9: think she's somewhat of yesterday's news. She was attorney general

649
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 9: of Florida for if memory serves, from twenty eleven to

650
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 9: twenty nineteen. There I would have encouraged to go with

651
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 9: a slightly younger spruce your pick someone who maybe is

652
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 9: a sitting current active attorney general, someone like a Ken

653
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 9: Paxton in Texas or something like that there. But she's

654
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 9: perfectly fine. I have no actual objections to Pam Bondi.

655
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 9: She actually was a registered agent of the Qatari government

656
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 9: tw years ago. I'm told that as well in the past.

657
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 9: It's no longer an in shoe, thank god, because that

658
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 9: actually would have been troublesome. But I'm told it's no

659
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 9: longer an issue there the Washington Post, I'm on, Charlie.

660
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 12: Sure why they're giving her thumbs up.

661
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, she probably does not agree with

662
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 9: them on the overhalling majority of issues. Maybe it is

663
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 9: the Kutark connection, frankly, because the Washington Post does take

664
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 9: a lot of Katari money. So maybe that is actually

665
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 9: what's going on there. But I can't really figure out

666
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 9: what else might be going on.

667
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: Josh, thank you, my friend. Enjoy your new baby.

668
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: Thanks all right, what's like on the ground California wildfires

669
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 1: can't be good, let's find out that's.

670
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 13: And that's when I saw this, And I really want

671
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 13: to show you this because I hadn't noticed it before,

672
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 13: but I started looking for this hose and it was

673
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 13: extended over my yard. Somebody had taken the garden hose

674
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 13: from the front yard and they had stood there before

675
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 13: I had arrived, and they had tried to extinguish or

676
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 13: maybe they had extinguished the fire that burnt this part

677
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 13: of the fence and the fire that was burning these trees.

678
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: Some neighbor who.

679
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 13: I don't know I still don't know who did it

680
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 13: to this day, had put out the fire at my house.

681
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: Pretty awesome.

682
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: You know. There's plenty of stories of dirtballs and turns,

683
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: looting and things like that out there, but there are

684
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: plenty of stories of some wonderful people doing wonderful things.

685
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: Joining me now at least one of those wonderful people, Jennifer.

686
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: We're not really sure about her. Joel Pollock, Senior editor

687
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: at large for bright bart News and Jennifer Gallardi, visiting

688
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: fellow from the Independent Women's Forum. Joel, that's your house.

689
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: I keep hearing wonderful things about wonderful people out there,

690
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: and I like to hear it.

691
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 14: Well. Jesse, the house behind me is not my house.

692
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 14: The house on the cliff is my house. My house

693
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 14: is about four hundred yards that this is a house

694
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 14: on a neighboring street. And the only reason I'm setting

695
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 14: up here is because I know I have good reception here.

696
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 14: It's very hard to get services and reception at the

697
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 14: moment because of the destruction that you can see around me.

698
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 14: But this is my neighborhood and I'd think probably about

699
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 14: eighty percent of the homes have been destroyed.

700
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: God have mercy, Jen, you lived there for a very

701
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: long time, twenty years you finally left. How surreal is

702
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 1: it to look at all those videos, all those images

703
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: and it's just gone. I mean, I've been in that

704
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 1: area so many times. It's amazing to see it ugly.

705
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen.

706
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 15: It really is.

707
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 16: And first I want to extend my sympathies to Joel

708
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 16: and everybody who has lost so much, their friends. Miraculously,

709
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 16: my friends condo building is still standing, So there has

710
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 16: been some grace given by God, Thank the Lord, and

711
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 16: very grateful for that. And I know it's still going

712
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 16: to be a long road. But yeah, Jesse, I think

713
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 16: I heard you say on Megan Kelly's podcast, is that

714
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 16: people like to dump all over California.

715
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 15: I mean, with good reason.

716
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 16: Our leadership has completely driven the state into the ground.

717
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 16: And you know, I wasn't very political in California because

718
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 16: I didn't.

719
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 15: Need to be. Right, it was an easy place to

720
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 15: live without a lot of money.

721
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 16: Not everybody that lives there is a wealthy millionaire, right,

722
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 16: the lifestyle, It's why the homeless are all there. You

723
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 16: didn't need a million dollars. And then COVID really hit

724
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 16: and I was like, what is going on? And I

725
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 16: started to understand kind of before this fire, what bad

726
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 16: policy looks like and the destruction it wrecks on people.

727
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 16: And you know, Gavin Newsom, I'm not so sure that

728
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 16: people are going to wake up. I mean, he did

729
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 16: this during COVID and that wasn't enough. So maybe this

730
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 16: will be it. But you know, I don't know what

731
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 16: it's going to take for these people to realize that

732
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 16: voting has consequences.

733
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: Joe, you're there, obviously. What is the mood on the

734
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: ground of the people. I've been in natural disasters plenty

735
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: of times myself before. There's always sadness, there's always anger there.

736
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: If there is anger, who are they angry at?

737
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 2: What's the mood of the people.

738
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,959
Speaker 14: Well, right now, I'm one of the only people who

739
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 14: lives in Pacific Palisades.

740
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 2: Who is actually in Pacific.

741
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 14: Palisades Because the only people they allow up here right

742
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 14: now are police, fire and journalists, and most of the

743
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 14: journalists are from international or national outlet. It just so

744
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 14: happens that two Breitbart News people live in Pacific Palisades

745
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 14: and one lives over in Brentwood and he had to evacuate.

746
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 14: But if my colleague John Cohn lost his house, it

747
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 14: was about a mile in that direction, and my house

748
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 14: is still standing about a quarter mile behind me. But

749
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 14: on the ground, in terms of people who have been evacuated,

750
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 14: the mood is obviously grief, but also frustration because they

751
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 14: can't come up here yet it's not safe for large

752
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 14: numbers of people. I found a fire in the front

753
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 14: yard of a house near Mind just this morning because

754
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 14: a local resident asked me to take the photograph of

755
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 14: their now ruined house, and they sent me to an

756
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 14: address and I went there and there was a fire

757
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 14: in the front yard. This is still a burning fire,

758
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 14: even though it looked like mostly out. There are hot

759
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 14: spots that are still dangerous. But people are frustrated. They

760
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 14: want to be able to have closure or to get

761
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 14: back into their homes if their homes are still standing.

762
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 14: And there's some anger at Governor Gavin Newsom at Mayor

763
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 14: Karen Bass. She was out of the country when the

764
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 14: wildfires hit. He knew there was an extreme wind event coming,

765
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 14: but he did not get emergency personnel in place. The

766
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 14: fire department did not predeploy because they didn't have the

767
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 14: money to pay overtime. You think how much money would

768
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 14: have been saved had they just put the firefighters out

769
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 14: and paid the overtime. Look how many billions of dollars

770
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 14: have been destroyed for maybe what one million dollars in

771
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 14: overtime for twenty four hours. So there's a lot of anger.

772
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 14: At the same time, there is a lot of hope.

773
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 14: The public school, which is just uphill behind me, it

774
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 14: burnt down, but what survived was the school logo, which

775
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 14: is a seagull in front of a rainbow, and that

776
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 14: rainbow is giving people hope, very much like the biblical

777
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 14: rainbow after the flood. It's the symbol of hope that

778
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 14: the community is embracing and people do want to rebuild.

779
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 14: People are helping each other. It's like the random neighbor

780
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 14: who put out the fire on my fence before I

781
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 14: got there. People in Palisades are like that, and that

782
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 14: spirit continues, but there's a lot of pain and frustration

783
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 14: and anger.

784
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jen, I know you have a bunch of friends

785
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: still there, and I know you've got a bunch of

786
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 1: fruitcake friends still there.

787
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: Where are they at in all this?

788
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 16: Well, the ones with any common sense, like said, are angry.

789
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 16: They want accountability, they want a change. They hope other

790
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 16: people wake up. But this is the liberal We've talked

791
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 16: about this almost ad nauseum. Now, this mindset that you know,

792
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 16: there were many responses to a piece I wrote in

793
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 16: The Federalist, you know, holding Governor Gavin Newsom accountable everything,

794
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 16: Joel said. Karen Bass was in God doing god knows what.

795
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 16: And they're saying, now is not the time for politicizing.

796
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 16: Now is not the time for pointing fingers and casting blame.

797
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 16: Now is the time for compassion. And you know what,

798
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 16: how is it compassionate to sit there from behind your

799
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 16: computer and your flat in Brooklyn and post like this

800
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 16: is where you can get help to me? That is

801
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 16: like the ultimate narcissism to think someone's going to come

802
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 16: to my social media platform to figure out how to

803
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 16: get help. Nobody was coming, like my friends and the

804
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 16: palisades were not asking me. They have resources, but they

805
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 16: love to preach from above, pointing out all the moral

806
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 16: failures of all those less virtuous than they are, and

807
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 16: do nothing except post nice words on social media.

808
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 4: You know, they pat.

809
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 16: Themselves on the back for all their compassion about where

810
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 16: to find help or where to donate. And meanwhile, the

811
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 16: actual victims who lost everything are as upset and angry

812
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 16: as I am. And anger can be beneficial, it prompts change,

813
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 16: and you know, it moves.

814
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 12: People to act.

815
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 16: Yet the morally superior it's not helpful in any way,

816
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 16: and they know the right way to respond to the crisis,

817
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 16: and they're going to sympathy shame you until you feel

818
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 16: the way they feel. And you know, one person even

819
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 16: used my religion against me and saying what would Jesus do?

820
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 15: And I was like, first of all, you're not Christians,

821
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 15: so you.

822
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 16: Have no idea what Jesus would do, you know, and

823
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 16: maybe you should get out from behind your computer and

824
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 16: go help in the ways that you can.

825
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 12: But they don't.

826
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 15: They just make other people try to feel bad.

827
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: Joel Jen wishing you both the very best. Joel reach

828
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: out text me if you need anything, My brother Jen

829
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: not you.

830
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: All right, you guys, I appreciate you very much.

831
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: Lighten the mood next, all right, it is time to

832
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: lighten the mood. And before we do that, if you

833
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: want more videos like this, you can go get them.

834
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 2: They're all over.

838
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: your phone and you're good to go. Now, I made

839
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: a mistake and I bought nice luggage a while ago.

840
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: Well here I was talking about it.

841
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 1: There is one thing you should not spend the money

842
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: on luggage. We each carried throughout our life. The luggage

843
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: we brought into the marriage, which had one big bag

844
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: and one kind of small carry on begging. Do you

845
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,359
Speaker 1: know what it's like you mix and match. We were

846
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: not worried about. Well, finally the wheels were starting to

847
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: go a little caddy wampus and things are going bad

848
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: on the luggage, and we decided, hey, you get what

849
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: you paid for. Let's go out and get a set

850
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 1: of good luggage. That way, it'll last us very first

851
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: trip with the good luggage it's it broke, and it

852
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: didn't break in just a weird way or in a

853
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: normal way. It broke, the latches didn't open. I had

854
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: to get a hammer to open up the luggage. So

855
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: listen to me. I went home, I went online. I

856
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: found a coupon gosh I sound like Chris, and I

857
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: spent sixty eight dollars for one of the big bags.

858
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: And I got a big bag, and it has lasted

859
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: me another three years. It's a complete piece of crap.

860
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 2: Zip up.

861
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: You wouldn't look at it twice. Don't ever spend money

862
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: on luggage, a complete ripoff.

863
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 2: It's a fact. I just saved you some money. See

864
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 2: them all, U,
