1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: Let's talk twenty twenty four, the state of America, the 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: world of make believe, what's going on at Planet Fitness? 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: Are they about to go out of business? Josh Hammer 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: breaks down a busy day and the court's all that 5 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: and more coming up. And I'm right, there's something great 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: happening out there and something that makes me nervous at 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: the same time. So let's just let's lead with that. 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: We have such a huge show tonight about twenty twenty 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: four and the world of make believe, and I had 10 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: all kinds of things, but let's get with something awesome. 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: Let's start with something awesome. After all, it's Monday. You 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: really see things coming apart for Joe Biden, don't you. 13 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: It's really really going badly for Joe Biden. 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: And we'll get to why that's making me a little 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: nervous here in a few but let's just focus on 16 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: this as a news story out NBC News. NBC News 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: one of the top propaganda arms of the American Communist 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: They're out there talking about Joe Biden behind the scenes, 19 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: quote seething about his reelection chances. He's angry, he's anxious. 20 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is in deep trouble, and that should put 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: a smile on your face. For twenty twenty four. Joe 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: Biden is in deep trouble. And here's the thing about 23 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: the kind of trouble Joe Biden's in. There's a good 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: chance politically we're not gonna talk about the election just yet. 25 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a minute, and some things 26 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: that make me nervous, But politically there's probably nothing Joe 27 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: Biden can do to pull himself out of the trouble 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: he's in. 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: You know, it's one thing to. 30 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: What to do, one thing to fall into a raging river, 31 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: let's say some whitewater rapids, only you've got a life 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: jacket on and you're an excellent swimmer. So yes you're 33 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: in trouble, and yes you might drown. But you can 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: see how that guy I might be able to pull 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: himself out of that some way. Get to the short 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: so that you could see that. But if you have 37 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: no life jacket and you never learned how to swim, 38 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: and you go into the white water rapids, well you're 39 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: probably in very deep trouble. You see, Joe Biden doesn't 40 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: have anything that can reverse the course he's on. He 41 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: can't reverse his policies. Joe Biden doesn't make these policies. 42 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: He's surrounded by committed communists who hate America, trying to 43 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: burn everything down. So in an election year where he 44 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: should secure the border, he very clearly should just electorally, 45 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: he clearly should, he won't. He can't. He's not allowed. 46 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: In an election year where he's supposed to dial back 47 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: on some spending, hopefully get this inflation under control, he's 48 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: controlled by communists trying to burn America down, trying to 49 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: destroy the currency. So he can't. He won't. So he 50 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: can't do that to save himself. And Joe Biden is 51 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: in a unique, uniquely horrible, but unique situation where his 52 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: physical and mental capacity has deteriorated to the point that 53 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: he can't rely on likability or charm or look. A 54 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: lot of these politicians get very very far on that stuff. 55 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: And no, I don't like Joe Biden, but a lot 56 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: of politicians get very far no matter how much people 57 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: hate their policies. On the hey, the smile, the joke, 58 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: he seems like a good guy. Joe Biden, he just 59 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: can't do it anymore. 60 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 3: He's very happy to see Northern Lilon as you get 61 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: can Assembly reinstated last month. Now Northern Island is a 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: fully functioning coming again. And I didn't admeasu, your colleague. 63 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: What's that life? Look, I'm not even trying to be mean. 64 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: He can't get up there, and wow, the ladies charmed 65 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: the dudes. Anybody he can't he does. He's not physically able, 66 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: he's not mentally able. Look, let's talk about an inside 67 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: baseball part of politics as we lay out kind of 68 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: where we're at in twenty twenty four and how bad 69 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: of trouble he's in. 70 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: We just had this the Union address. 71 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: Now, when they explain how this normally works, I know 72 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: you probably know a lot of this stuff, and they 73 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: explain how this normally works. When you're the president, doesn't 74 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: matter who you are, Republican or Democrat, and you give 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: a State of the Union address, you pretty much always, 76 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: really without exception, I think for the most part of 77 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: my lifetime, you get a bump in the polls. It's 78 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: just one of those things. Everyone understands. Everyone who understands politics, 79 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: all the political nerds like you and me, everyone gets 80 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: that you will get a bump in the polls during 81 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: the State of the Union address. Now, why is that, Well, 82 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: you get to make a speech to the entire country, 83 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: the networks stop their programming. 84 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: Okay, so the whole country has to sit. 85 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: There, they have to listen to you. You look as president, 86 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: you look powerful, you look important, and you will normally 87 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: during the State of the Union speech, there's always political 88 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: stuff in there. You'll normally kind of give this flowery 89 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: we're all in this together. America is doing so great things. 90 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: So the whole country he kind of sits there and 91 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: watches you give this speech and we're all in this together. 92 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: And look, it's not life changing, but you always get 93 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: a bump in the polls from a State of the 94 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: Union speech. It's just one of those things everyone understands, 95 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: except for now. Joe Biden gave his State of the 96 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: Union speech last week. 97 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 2: No bump in the polls. Now, why was that? 98 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: Well, we'll get to that more, and we've talked about 99 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: that already, so I guess we don't have to belabor 100 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: the point. Why did he not get a bump in 101 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: the pools? Because Joe Biden couldn't didn't. I guess I 102 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: should say get up and give that speech, the one 103 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: I just described, the unifying we're all in this together. 104 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: America is doing great. 105 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has internal problems within his own party, within 106 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: the support arms of his own party. Joe Biden had 107 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: to give an extremely partisan, nasty speech because Joe Biden 108 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: is too busy trying to keep his own team together. 109 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: So his speech was nasty. He got no bump in 110 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: the pools. I mean, you want to talk about keeping 111 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: his team together, and how badly that's feeling. The Washington 112 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: Post might be the most evil communist publication on planet Earth. 113 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 2: And I really genuinely mean that. 114 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: If you go through Washington Post history, it is a 115 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: despicable evil rag. But they're always on team Democrat. The 116 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: Washington Post is publishing articles about how Dome needs to 117 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 1: step aside as VP. Hey, you want to talk about 118 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: not keeping the team together, Washington Post, They're always playing ball. 119 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: They're always on the team not right now. That's how 120 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: badly it's going for Joe Biden. And a lot of 121 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: this is economic people, especially independents who can vote either way, 122 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: they feel inflation doesn't matter how many lies you tell 123 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: them about the economy and how great it's doing in jobs. 124 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: People look around, they shop, they know it's bad, So 125 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,559 Speaker 1: that's part of it. But another part of it for 126 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: Joe Biden another reason he gave that speech, but she 127 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: had another reason. He can't see him move in the 128 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: polls as he has a domestic coalition problem. As we've 129 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: talked about, remember, Democrats are communists. Modern Democrats are not 130 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: your older Democrats usually, but modern Democrats they're all communists 131 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: or communists adjacent, even if they don't know they're communists, 132 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: that's what they are. And so the modern Democrat Party, 133 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: it's all a bunch of malcontented groups. As you know, 134 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: everyone who read the Anti Communist Manifesto has known that 135 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: the Communism is simply the religion of the malcontent. That's 136 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: what it is. Find the malcontents in any society, recruit them, 137 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: use them for power, to destroy things and whatnot. So 138 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: the modern Democrat Party, when you look at their various coalitions, 139 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: that's what their coalitions are, this group and that group. 140 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: You've got this and the teachers, and the climate changes 141 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: and the feminists, and you have all these people. But 142 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: there has always been a problem coming for the American 143 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: Democrat and that is their groups don't make a lot 144 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: of sense lots of the time. In fact, many times, 145 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: their groups look to be really at odds with each other. 146 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 1: Here's one people don't talk about, the LGBTQ air Force, 147 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: that group of malcontents, the super freaks on the left. Okay, 148 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: that's one group. Well, ninety of black voters in America 149 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: vote Democrat as well, except that way of life is 150 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: less popular in the black community than any other community. 151 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: Those groups are at odds with each other. So that's 152 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: going to be a problem eventually, right and well, Democrats 153 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: have a Jewish slash Muslim problem here in America as 154 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: far as their domestic coalition goes. We've talked about this already. 155 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: Two thirds of American Jews vote Democrat. They are huge 156 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: fund raisers for the Democrat Party. The vast majority of 157 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: American Muslims vote Democrat. Israel Hamas kicks off, Democrats don't 158 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: know what to do. Theay back Israel, they lose their 159 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: Muslim support, they back Hamas, they lose their Jewish support. 160 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: They're in such dire straits. They're so worried about losing 161 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: Michigan because of the Muslim population in Michigan. Chuck Schumer 162 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: got up and called for Benjamin Netanyahu's head. 163 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 4: At this critical juncture. I believe a new election is 164 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 4: the only way to allow for a healthy and open 165 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: decision making process about the future of Israel at a 166 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 4: time when so many Israelis have lost their confidence in 167 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: the vision and direction of their government. 168 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: I just want to once again emphasize what a gigantic 169 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: deal that is. 170 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: And you don't have to have. 171 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: Any personal investment in Schumer or Democrats or Republicans, or 172 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: Israel or Homas. You just have to understand world affairs 173 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: and how it works. Israel is considered an ally of 174 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: the United States of America. They're not some tiny little 175 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: place we call in on. They're considered an ally. They 176 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: are You don't have your politicians stand up and call 177 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: for the ouster of the politicians of your ally. It's 178 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 1: just not something you would ever see dom Ever. You 179 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: would never see someone in the UK get up and 180 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: give a speech today and say it's time for Joe 181 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Biden to leave, even if that's what you want, even 182 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: if that's what I wanted, it would never ever happen 183 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: because we're allies, so you don't do that. That was 184 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: a gigantic deal and it was not like someone off 185 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: with Chuck Schumer, where he had won too many bourbons 186 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: and got up there and ran his mouth. Here's all 187 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: the most powerful Democrats in America backing that up. 188 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna elaborate on a speech. He made a 189 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 3: good speech. I think he expressed a serious concern shared 190 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: not only by him but by many Americans. 191 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 5: It's curious to me to see you talk the way 192 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 5: he does when he tried to interfere in American election. 193 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 5: But that's another subject. When he came to the Congress 194 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 5: criticize the president of the United States barged into our country, 195 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 5: into and our elections. But again, let's put that aside, 196 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 5: and let's just say as we go forward, what is 197 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 5: wrong with advocating for elections and a democracy. 198 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: You didn't just say it. All the big cheese Democrats 199 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: backed them up. And remember when you understand these people 200 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: are a communist who don't really care about foreign policy. 201 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: They don't care anything about Homos or Israel. This is 202 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 1: all about domestic That tells you how truly concerned these 203 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: people are about holding together their domestic coalition. Put a 204 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: smile on your face. We'll get to the potential bad 205 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: news here in a moment, but put a smile on 206 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: your face. All I see right now is desperation. These 207 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: people are desperate. They're attacking each other, biting at each other. 208 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: That these people are desperate, and that is a good thing, 209 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: all right, So smile about something. Now, Let's get the 210 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: potential bad news. Same bad news. Let's get to the 211 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: potential bad news. You know that the system itself is evil. 212 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: Our institutions have been taken over by evil people. 213 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: You realize that now. 214 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: You understand even your CDC is run by evil people. 215 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: The FBI, the media, the government, the education system, Hollywood. 216 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 1: You understand all these people work together. Now we call 217 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: it the system and the system. The system worked very, 218 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: very very hard to get rid of Donald Trump, and 219 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: they succeeded. 220 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 2: Obviously. 221 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: They worked very very hard and they got rid of him. 222 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: The system is now, it is what it's March. We're 223 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: not that far away from the election, and the system 224 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: is staring yet another potential Trump presidency in the face. 225 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: If they can't turn these pull numbers around, what are 226 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: they going to do? Well? What would the most evil 227 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: people on the planet do to keep power. I don't 228 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: have an answer to that question specifically, but I think 229 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: you and I both understand it's not good. I am 230 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: worried about what a desperate system might do in order 231 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: to avoid losing any power. I'm very, very worried about it, 232 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: and I'm also worried about some other things. We're all 233 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: making fun of stutter and jokes. You can't talk, and 234 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: the poll numbers look bad. Democrats are raising a boatloads amone. 235 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: It another record breaking February fifty three million dollars. And 236 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: don't fool yourself. Money matters a lot in politics. Reaching 237 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: the undecided independent voter who never has any idea which 238 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: way the wind's blowing money matters a lot. Democrats are 239 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: still really good at that. And Democrats have this in 240 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: their back pocket as well. Democrats have an American media 241 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: that is not biased. It doesn't lean left. Stop with 242 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: these lame, completely benign descriptions of the American media. The 243 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: American media is evil. It is a clear and present 244 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: danger to the United States of America. They are so 245 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: communist there is nothing they won't do in order to 246 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: destroy Republicans and protect Democrats. And this is why I'm 247 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: not gonna play something for you. It's old, but it's 248 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: gonna be in reference to something new that just happened. 249 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: You're liberal, aunt Pegy, the Democrat in your life, whether 250 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: it's is your aunt Pegy, or a Democrat you work with, 251 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: or your neighbor and an acquaintance, they seem they seem oftentimes 252 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: as if they occupy a world of make believe, don't 253 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: they when you're when you're talking to them, if it's 254 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: about world of ants, or even if politics come up. 255 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: You have these moments, don't you, where you sit back 256 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: and you think to yourself, huh. 257 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: What, Well, allow me to explain something once again. 258 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: The American democrat who watches MSNBC all day and of 259 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: course went to Harvard and watches the Hollywood Award shows 260 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: and went to school in a public education school in America. 261 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: That American democrat, they quote normal American demos crat, is insane. 262 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in an insulting way. Actually, 263 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: even though everyone will take that insultingly, the average American 264 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: Democrat is as insane as the guy who gets naked 265 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: and covers himself in peanut butter and jumps off a 266 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: building because he thinks he's thored a thunder god. That guy, 267 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: the peanut butter man, lives in a world of make 268 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: believe that is not real. So does the American Democrat 269 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: because that's the world the system has created for them. 270 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: They watch the news, they go to school, and so 271 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: they know. They know, in the words of Ronald Reagan, 272 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: even though I'm paraphrasing, they know so many things that 273 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: are simply not true. Do you remember Do you remember 274 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: Trump and the whole Charlottesville thing and what he said. 275 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: I do think there's blame. 276 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 6: Yes, I think there's blame on both sides. You look 277 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 6: at you look at both sides. I think there's blame 278 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 6: on both sides. And I have no doubt about it, 279 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 6: and you don't have any doubt about it either. 280 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: And you have some very bad people in. 281 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 6: That group, but you also had people that were very 282 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 6: fine people on both sides. 283 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: What he said, it's on camera. It's not a mystery, 284 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: it's on camera. But your liberal aunt Peggy, she believes 285 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump called Nazis very fine people. Because your 286 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: liberal aunt Peggy watches the news. When Joe Biden gets 287 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: up and speaks and talks about why he ran for president, 288 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: Joe Biden will actually cite the lie. It's a verifiable lie. 289 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: We have videotape of it. When did you get to 290 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. When did you know this is something 291 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: that I have to do for yourself. 292 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 3: Charlotteville, when those folks came out of the feels carrying 293 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 3: torches with contorted faces and carrying Nazi flags, and when 294 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: the President was asked about it, he said, they asked 295 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 3: what he thought. He said, he said, I thought there 296 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 3: were very fine people on both sides. No president city 297 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: presidents ever said anything like. 298 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: That liberally, and Peggy to this day believes that that's 299 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: what he said. What happened again over the weekend, Trump 300 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: was given some rally. He was talking about auto tariffs, 301 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: and well, here's what he says. 302 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 2: It's on video. 303 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 6: China now is building a couple of massive plants where 304 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 6: they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think 305 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 6: they think that they're going to sell those cars into 306 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 6: the United States with no tax. 307 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 7: At the border. 308 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 6: Let me tell you something to China. If you're listening, Presidency, 309 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 6: and you and I are friends, but he understands the 310 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 6: way ideal those big monster car manufacturing plants that you're 311 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 6: building in Mexico right now, and you think you're going 312 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 6: to get that, you're going to not hire Americans and 313 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 6: you're going to sell the cars US. Now, we're going 314 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 6: to put a one hundred percent tariff in every single 315 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 6: car that comes across the line, and you're not going 316 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 6: to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now, 317 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 6: if I don't get elected, it's going to be a 318 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 6: blood bath for the whole that's going to be the 319 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 6: least of it. It's going to be a blood bath 320 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 6: for the country that'll be the least it. 321 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: Okay, So agree or disagree with what he said about 322 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: Tariff's very obvious what he said. They're pretty innocuous. Everyone 323 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: knows what he's talking about. But why did your liberal 324 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: and Peggy text you today, Why did that Democrat you 325 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: work with meet you at the water cooler today and 326 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: talk about Donald Trump threatening a blood bath? Because that 327 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 1: person is an insane person. If you watch the news, 328 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: if you go to American schools, if you listen to Hollywood, 329 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: if you listen to Democrats, if you watch these people 330 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: on television, you're certifiably insane. 331 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 5: We have we just had to win this election. Because 332 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 5: he's even predicting a blood bath. What does that mean 333 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 5: He's going to exact a bloodbath? There's something wrong here. 334 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 3: Hey, what I heard was the continuation of the same rhetoric, 335 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 3: the same endorsement of political violence that we've seen from 336 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 3: Donald Trump four years. 337 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 8: So no, we did not miss the full context. This 338 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 8: was not some neandering off message comment. This is his message. 339 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 8: As the Biden campaign put it, this is who Donald 340 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 8: Trump is. A loser who gets beat by over seven 341 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 8: million votes and then, instead of appealing to a wider 342 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 8: mainstream audience, doubles down on his threat's political violence. 343 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: That's why your liberal and Peggy seems insane. She is insane. 344 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: What that's gonna mean for twenty twenty four. I don't know. 345 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 2: We'll see all. 346 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: That may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right. 347 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: Lawfair makes me uncomfortable. We're going to discuss some lawfair 348 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: with Josh Hammer next. Before we get to that, let's 349 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: talk about loan star transfer. Let's talk about the timeshare. 350 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: You think you're stuck in. You are not, but you 351 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: think you are. Listen, time shares can be so much 352 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: fun for a while, and I hope you enjoy yours, 353 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: but eventually you're done. And this is where most of 354 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: these timeshare companies lie. They don't tell you when you're 355 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: signing the paperwork that you're never allowed out that you 356 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: have to pay the annual fees forever. Use it, don't 357 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: use it, you're always paying that. You can't just call 358 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: and say I want to give it back. That doesn't 359 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: work that way, So you don't call them. You call 360 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: Loan Star Transfer, the family business with an A plus 361 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: rating from the Better Business Bureau. They will legally, im 362 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: permanently get you out of your time share. They can't 363 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: do that if you don't call. They're successful ninety nine 364 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: percent of the time. Just call and you can be free. 365 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: Eight four four three one zero two six four six. 366 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: Let Loan Star Transfer set you free. 367 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 7: All right, all right, we'll be back, Justice Jackson. 368 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 9: So, my biggest concern is that your view has the 369 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 9: First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the 370 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 9: most important time periods. Some might say that the government 371 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 9: actually has a duty to take steps to protect the 372 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 9: citizens of this country, and you seem to be suggesting 373 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 9: that that duty cannot manifest itself in the government encouraging 374 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 9: or even pressuring platforms to take down harmful information. So 375 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 9: can you help me because I'm I'm really worried about that. 376 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 9: Because you've got the First Amendment operating in an environment 377 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 9: of threatening circumstances from the government's perspective, and you're saying 378 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 9: that the government can't interact with the source of those problems. 379 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: That is interesting. I mean, I'm I'm just a lowly 380 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: community college guy, certainly not a Supreme Court justice. But 381 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: I always thought that the First Amendment, that that was 382 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: kind of the whole point of the thing. Let's ask 383 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: Josh about this. Joining me now, my friend Josh Hammer, 384 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: host of America on Trial with Josh Hammer. Josh, my 385 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: constitutional knowledge is a little rusty, I'll be honest with you, 386 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: my friend, certainly not an intelligent individual, but I thought 387 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: that was a little eye popping to come out of 388 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: the mouth of a Supreme Court justice. 389 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 2: Jessie. 390 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 10: Let me let me first say that it is one 391 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 10: of the worst kept secrets of anyone who has ever 392 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 10: gone through law school that the median community college graduate 393 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 10: or dropouts that to yourself, probably actually has better instincts 394 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 10: when it comes to constitutional law than probably eighty to 395 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 10: ninety percent of those who graduate from Harvard Yale. My 396 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 10: own I'm a modern university Chicago law school, So do 397 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 10: not sell yourself short. I am seriously not just saying 398 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 10: that to buddy or ego, that is the current state 399 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 10: of legal academia. In many cases, the federal judiciary look 400 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 10: to me this case, and I've been tracking this case 401 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 10: for almost two years. This has been on my radar 402 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 10: for a very long time. Eric Schmid the former attorney 403 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 10: general of Missouri. He's now the junior Senator in Missouri 404 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 10: alongside Josh Hawley. Eric Schmidt back when he was Missouri 405 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 10: attorney general, he was the one who got this lawsuit, 406 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 10: going along with his then Louisiana colleague Jeff Landry. This 407 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 10: was back in May of twenty twenty two, was when 408 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 10: they first filed suit. And then you had a leak 409 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 10: leak leak where the media started reporting d partially and 410 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 10: perhaps in law part to Eric Schmid actually leaking a 411 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 10: lot of it himself. He made public a lot of 412 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 10: the discovery, a lot of the documents in the communication 413 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 10: that they they got in the midst of this lawsuit. 414 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: This was August. 415 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 10: September twenty twenty two, right around Labor Day and Jesse. 416 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 10: It was explosive stuff. I wrote multiple columns on it 417 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 10: at the time. The Biden White House, it was the HHS, 418 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 10: the DHS, the actual White House itself, the FBI, you 419 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 10: name it, the whole alphabet soup CDC. How could I 420 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 10: forget those lunatics. Basically, all of the alphabet soup of 421 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 10: the Biden administration was in constant weekly or bi weekly 422 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 10: communication with all the big tech oligarchs Google, Meta, above all, 423 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 10: Facebook and Instagram, and yes, very much show the pre 424 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 10: elon musk Twitter regime. What were they doing. They were 425 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 10: telling them to censor speech. They were telling them to 426 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 10: algorithmically drank, to depressed, to shadow band, perhaps to outright 427 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 10: ben as the case may be, infamously with the Hunter 428 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 10: Biden laptop. And when you look at this from a 429 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 10: bread and butter First Amendment perspective, here, you know, the 430 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 10: First Amendment says that Congress shall make no law infringing 431 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 10: upon the freedom of speech. The heyword there is in fringe, 432 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 10: you know, is Congress passing a long Here is the 433 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 10: federal government passing a law to simply say you shall 434 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 10: not speak now. But the word in fringe actually, and 435 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 10: the concept of legally infringing more generally actually has a 436 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 10: lot more wiggle room in it than that the government 437 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 10: has absolutely unequivocally infringed upon many many individuals free speech 438 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 10: rights over the course of this terrible, terrible experiment in 439 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 10: corporate and public sector fusion, which is what we've seen. 440 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 10: There was a remarkable opinion from District Court Judge Terry 441 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 10: Dody down in Louisiana last July, fittingly was on July fourth. 442 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 10: That's fittingly because it was a beautiful pro First Amendment, 443 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 10: pro free speech, pro red white and Blue Americana type 444 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 10: of opinion where he basically said that this is one 445 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 10: of the most Orwellian or Whellian attempts for the government 446 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 10: to mass censor speech in the entire history of this republic. 447 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 10: And his preliminary injunction was modified a little bit, but 448 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 10: it was largely upheld at the US Quarter Appeals for 449 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 10: the Fifth Circuit, which is the conservative leading appell at 450 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 10: court that many years ago I clerked on myself, so 451 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 10: I based on my reading of the Tea Leaves Jesse. 452 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 10: This oral argument today did not go as well as 453 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 10: folks like me had hoped it would. 454 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm hoping to be proven wrong. 455 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 10: When it comes time to release an opinion, I have 456 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 10: to shout out to a friend of mine, Ben Aguanagua. 457 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 10: He is the new Slister General of Louisiana. He got 458 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 10: into that post just in January. An absolutely brilliant conservative attorney. 459 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 10: He apparently did a great job today in court. The 460 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 10: problem is that none of the conservative justices other than 461 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 10: Clarence Thomas and Samuel Lito seemed to be buying it. 462 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 10: That is their problem, That is their fault, because Louisiana 463 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 10: and Missouri are correct to file suit on these grounds. 464 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,199 Speaker 1: Okay, can you walk me through that, Josh? And I 465 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: know I'm asking you to put yourself mentally in someone 466 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: else's shoes, But you have these supposed you know, conservative 467 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: or right wing justices or originalists like or such, and 468 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: Henry Cony Barrett and others. How are they not all 469 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: over this too? How is anybody outside of an absolute 470 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: apparatic not horrified by the federal government using social media 471 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: the censor speech they don't like? What are the others doing? 472 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 7: So? 473 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 10: Here is why lawyers tend to make things more complicated 474 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 10: than they are. 475 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 2: So. 476 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 10: The relevant legal doctrine that is at issue here is 477 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 10: state actor doctrine. And the basic question is when does 478 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 10: a private company's actions or a private company's speech become 479 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 10: the government become the government speech or the government's action. 480 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 10: So in this case, the point that you're making, the 481 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 10: point that I just made, in the point that Louisiana, 482 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 10: Missouri made, is that these social media companies Facebook, Twitter 483 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 10: became government actors when the federal government told them what 484 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 10: to do, when the federal government said you really ought 485 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 10: to do this, or a wink wink, nudge nudge, we're 486 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 10: going to take away your Section two thirty liability, or 487 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 10: you're you really should do this, or a wink wink, 488 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 10: nudge nudge, we're going to probably break you up on 489 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 10: good old fashioned Teddy Roosevelt trust busting antitrust grounds. And 490 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 10: those threats were very real. They were shouting from the 491 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 10: from the White House. The White House Buying ad Ministry 492 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 10: and Public Health team was openly threatening Facebook, Twitter, all 493 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 10: the above. Heck, I remember it was a summer of 494 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 10: twenty twenty one. I remember when Jen Saki, the current 495 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 10: Idiot's predecessor. I remember when she was up there openly 496 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 10: hectoring and threatening Mark Zuckerberg and wagging her big finger 497 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 10: and saying, oh, Facebook, you better censor these vaccine skeptics 498 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 10: because we're trying to get all of America vaccinated. How 499 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 10: dare you pedal misinformation. You know, if your Facebook, you 500 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 10: look at that and you're like, Wow, the government's telling 501 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 10: me what to do. 502 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: Right. 503 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 10: But for many, I think libertarian leaning juris in particular, 504 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 10: and Neil Gorsuch is a good example of this. He's 505 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 10: a much more libertarian leaning guy than for example, Sam 506 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 10: Alito is. He is reluctant to find state actor doctrine 507 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 10: for kind of the old school notion that he wants 508 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 10: to maximize private sector speech. It's kind of this idea 509 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 10: that the best way to defeat Facebook and Twitter if 510 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 10: you don't like what they're doing is to build your 511 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 10: own Facebook, build your own Twitter, build your own Google. 512 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 10: As we've heard the line say many many times over 513 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 10: the past five years. There so a lot of more 514 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 10: establishment than libertarian leaning jurors are very reluctant to find 515 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 10: state actor doctrine where it is only debatable. Clarence Thomas 516 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 10: and Sam Alito because their star wart conservatives have no 517 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 10: such compunctions. But one final thing Jesse on this note 518 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 10: is worth pointing out that it is black letter First 519 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 10: Amendment constitutional law, and it has been black letter constitutional 520 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 10: law for fifty or sixty years that the government cannot immunize, 521 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 10: cannot immunize or otherwise induce private sector entities to do 522 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 10: that which the government cannot do directly itself. The government 523 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 10: cannot censor speech itself. What they are doing here is 524 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 10: trying to immunize them by saying, oh, you can keep 525 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 10: your Session two thirty immunity if you do our dirty bidding. 526 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 10: You can't do that. 527 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's switch gears here. Adam Schiff is 528 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: all over the news, as he always is, about to 529 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: be Senator Adam Schiff going off about the Trump Community case. 530 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 11: Here he was, the Supreme Court moved with great speed 531 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 11: when it came to ruling that Trump could appear on 532 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 11: the ballot. The question is, will it also move with 533 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 11: great speed in rejecting this bogus immunity claim. If it doesn't, 534 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,479 Speaker 11: it's making a deliberate decision essentially to push the trial 535 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 11: past the election. And I think that would be a 536 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 11: terrible decision both for the interests of justice. 537 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: It would be a terrible. 538 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 11: Decision in depriving American voters of the information they would 539 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 11: learn during the course of that trial. But it would 540 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 11: also just further discredit this partisan and reactionary court. 541 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: Josh Okay, setting Adam Shift's more on mouthside, where do 542 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: you think we follow this immunity case? 543 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 10: So let me make one point though, about the point 544 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 10: that Ship is making, which is the idea that the 545 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 10: Supreme Court is going to hand the election to Trump Jesse. 546 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 10: Jack Smith had a long time to file charges, didn't he. 547 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 10: And he waited until June of last year to file 548 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 10: his case in mar Lago in Florida, and then even 549 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 10: later in the summer of last year to file his 550 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 10: case in Washington, d C. Why did he wait until 551 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 10: the year prior to an election year. He could have 552 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 10: easily filed those us we want two in twenty twenty 553 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 10: one or twenty twenty two. So if there is anyone 554 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 10: to blame, if the federal prosecutions do not get up 555 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 10: and running before November, which as of this point I 556 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 10: don't think they will, the blame goes to Jack Smith himself. Now, 557 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 10: Adam Shiff's not going to admit that, because Adam Shiffs 558 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 10: is a deranged Looan bag. But if he was being 559 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 10: intellectually honest, if you had a modicum of intellectual honesty 560 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,479 Speaker 10: left in his body, then he would look squarely at 561 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 10: Jack Smith in place the blame with him. As far 562 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 10: as the community question, which is going to have this 563 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 10: huge hearing, big argument, I'm very much excited for myself 564 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 10: at the Supreme Court in a little over a month now. 565 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 10: I don't think that Trump's lawyers are going to get 566 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 10: what they want and get absolute, full sweeping immunity. You 567 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 10: maybe maybe have two or three votes for that at 568 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 10: the most. I actually could see it not getting a 569 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 10: single vote, but I got the very most. You have 570 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 10: three votes for that. Thomas Alido and maybe Brekkavanov is 571 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 10: a very pro presidential powers kind of juris. I think 572 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 10: what's most likely here, Jesse, You're going to get a 573 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 10: mixed result where they basically say that some actions that 574 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 10: a president takes in the White House do fall under 575 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 10: the quote executive power of which Article two of the 576 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 10: Constitution speaks, and those actions you are immune for criminal prosecution. 577 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 10: But then there are some actions that are not immune. 578 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 10: And to give like a very easy example, let's say 579 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 10: that you fire a bureaucrat, you fire a subordinate somewhere, 580 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 10: a deep state guy deep in the bowels of DHS 581 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 10: or whatever. That is a core executive power function to 582 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 10: run your administration the way you want any possible criminal 583 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 10: liability for something that pertains to that action would be 584 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 10: it would be done. You have immunity, but if you 585 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 10: want to hire an assassin to kill to kill your 586 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 10: mistress before your wife finds out, maybe then you can 587 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 10: be subch into immunity after you leave office. So I 588 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 10: think that the opinion is going to look something along 589 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 10: those lines. So I'm predicting a mixed result, which, by 590 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 10: the way, is actually in reality a pretty good result 591 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 10: for Trump because then they're going to have to kick 592 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 10: that down to the lower courts for additional fact finding 593 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 10: to see whether or not Jacksmith's alleged conduct and this 594 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 10: indictment falls into bucket one of immune conduct or bucket 595 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 10: two of not immune conduct. All of this is going 596 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 10: to take a lot of time and kick the can 597 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 10: down the road again. It's looking very unlikely that this 598 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 10: trial starts before November. 599 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 2: Oh, that's outstanding, all right. 600 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: Finally, Georgia, Josh, we got a major update in the 601 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: Georgia case last week. 602 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: What's going on? 603 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: Is this whole thing going away just because can't Fanny 604 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: Willis can't keep your pants on? 605 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 10: Well, look, it wasn't quite the ruling that Trump was 606 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 10: hoping for. It wasn't quite the ruling that I expected. 607 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 10: I actually expected that he would go ahead and disqualify 608 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 10: Fannie Willis, So it wasn't exactly what I predicted. Now, 609 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 10: what Judge McAfee crafted is a bespoken, somewhat bizarre remedy. 610 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 10: He basically accepted a lot of Trump's lawyer's arguments. So 611 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 10: Trump's lawyers basically argue that the mere appearance of impropriety 612 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 10: or corruption can either require or a bare minimum strongly 613 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 10: militate in favor of disqualification of the district Attorney Fannie Willis. 614 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 10: McAfee basically agreed with that, and then he said, oh, 615 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 10: but wait, you know, disqualification is also a very strong remedy. 616 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 10: Why don't I try to concoct this thing to make 617 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 10: everyone happy? And that was his attempt. That's splitting the baby, 618 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 10: so to speak, saying that one of you has to go. 619 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: It's very weird. 620 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 10: I doubt he learned that in his remedies class in 621 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 10: law school. He's really just trying to kind of throw 622 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 10: breadcrumbs to everyone and make everyone happy. The problem, Jesse, 623 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 10: as you know, is that when you try to make 624 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 10: everyone happy, you actually make no one happy Trump's lawyers 625 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 10: are going to be able to appeal this, I think, 626 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 10: to the Georgia State Corp of Appeals. So it's still 627 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 10: possible that fani Willis actually does get to qualified from 628 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 10: this case. But recall that this case was never going 629 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 10: to start until August. This was always going to be 630 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 10: the last of the of the case is to go 631 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 10: to trial based on the date that they set many 632 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 10: months ago. So again, all these further dilatory attack, all 633 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 10: these further delays. I think that the Georgia case is 634 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 10: also very unlikely to reach a verdict before November. Slightly 635 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 10: slightly more likely than Jack Smith's DC probe at this point, 636 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 10: but I still think it's unlikely. 637 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: Okay, so he's out of the woods legally before the election. 638 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 10: The only one at this point that I think has 639 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 10: called a forty to fifty percent chance of reaching a verdict, 640 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 10: maybe saidly higher, and that would be Alvin Bragg's case 641 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 10: in New York City. It's basically a coin flip at 642 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 10: this point, I think, but it's it's close. I mean, 643 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 10: that is the only one I think that has any 644 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 10: real viability of getting across the financial line. Of course, 645 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 10: the silver lining there for Trump is that that is 646 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 10: just by far the most ludicrous of all four of these, 647 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 10: you know, fraudulent bookkeeping and further of something we don't 648 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 10: even know. Alvin Bragg never told us what the actual 649 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 10: crime is. We think it's campaign election law. But then 650 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 10: you have Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniel's hush money. I mean, 651 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 10: it's like a Hollywood script. It's like a soap opera. Frankly, so, 652 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 10: I mean that's the one where I think Trump might 653 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 10: might get a guilty verdict. But again, I don't think 654 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 10: the American people are going to particularly care even if 655 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 10: it comes back. 656 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 2: Then when. 657 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: Josh, thank you, my brother, I appreciate it. All right, 658 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: let's talk about divorce, national divorce. It's always fun. We'll 659 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: just do it real quick. Next before we do that, 660 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 1: let's do this though, Let's make sure we're making preparations, 661 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: financial preparations. People look around and it's easy to get worried. 662 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: Maybe that's you. Maybe you get anxious. Maybe you get worried. 663 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: We wake up every day, we roll over, we grab 664 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: our phones, we look at the news, and everything sucks. 665 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: We don't need to be worried, we don't need to 666 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: be stressed. We need to make plans. We need to 667 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: make preparations. Part of that preparation is making sure you 668 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 1: have access to precious metals gold or silver coins. Well, 669 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: how do you do that? What do you do? It's 670 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: called Oxford Gold Group. They are my people.

You don't need a bank vault. 676 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: This is so normal. People can have value government can't touch. 677 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: Call Oxford Gold Group. Also, let them get it in 678 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: your retirement as part of your retirement, insulating you against 679 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 1: that bubble going pop and. 680 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 2: You lose everything you worked hard for. 681 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: Eight three three nine gold Tell them I told you 682 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,479 Speaker 1: to call Oxford Gold Group. 683 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 2: All right, we'll be back.

I don't think this is great. 690 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good place to be as 691 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 1: a country. To watch people separate like this is hard, 692 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 1: it's ugly. And to be part of that, right, you're 693 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: part of that. I'm part of that. We are part 694 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: of the America. The story of your life, part of 695 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 1: the story of your life will be you lived in America. 696 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: As it was starting to kind of fracture on us. 697 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: But look, as much as I dislike it, let's be honest, 698 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: it's something that should happen sometimes sometimes it's better if 699 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,440 Speaker 1: we go our separate ways. And you see this video. 700 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: Charlne Oliver is her name. She's a state senator in Tennessee. 701 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: Who she is doesn't really matter, but you and me, 702 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: we can't live with people like this. 703 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 12: It is a slap in the face. And you might 704 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 12: as well stomp on the grave of Tyree Nichols for 705 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 12: bringing this bill. Don't tell me this stuff ain't racist. 706 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 12: Don't tell me it's not. It is rooted in racism. 707 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 12: This was a Jim Crow bill that Taylor Brock and 708 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 12: all his Confederates voted for today. So yeah, we gonna fight. 709 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 12: Doctor King said, the the riots are the language you 710 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 12: have doneheard. You ain't saying nothing yet. If you keep silent, 711 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 12: silencing us like this, what do you think our district 712 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:49,879 Speaker 12: is gonna do. We have had it up here, gloves off, 713 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 12: like we gonna fight like hell, you don't expect us 714 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 12: to respond. 715 00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,760 Speaker 2: We can't live together. 716 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: And doctor King said this is racist. My arm is 717 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: gonna start burning crep down. We can't can't live like this, 718 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: and we shouldn't. All right, we have more do a 719 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: real quick hit about this planet. Fitness stuff for in 720 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: a moment, and we have a light in the mood 721 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: that's outstanding. Before we do any of that, let's do this. 722 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: Let's talk about your self defense. Maybe you live in 723 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: that Ladies District in Tennessee or wherever you live in 724 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 1: this country. You need things to protect yourself. There are 725 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: violent criminals all over the place, and now we're importing 726 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: more by the million. That doesn't mean we have to 727 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 1: stay home. We can't stay home and stay locked in 728 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: our doors. We can't live our lives this way. We 729 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: have to carry something on us that will allow us 730 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:44,879 Speaker 1: to stop a bad man. 731 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 2: That's what BURNA is all about. 732 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:52,760 Speaker 1: Be why RNA. This is a non lethal pistol launcher. 733 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: I carry lethal and non lethal on me at all times. 734 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: Whether you're a gun carrier like me or not. You 735 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: need Berna. Berna will stop a badman. Pepper balls or 736 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: tear gas balls or kinetic rounds save your life, the 737 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 1: life of your daughter, the life of your dad. Buy 738 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:11,919 Speaker 1: one and carry it on you. And by the way, 739 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 1: practicing is a blast. Ten percent off at Berna dot 740 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: com slash Jesse Berna dot com slash Jesse Go check 741 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: these guys out. 742 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 2: We'll be back. 743 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 13: Good day. I just wanted to say, I just came 744 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 13: out of Planet Fitness and there is a man shaving 745 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 13: in a women's bathroom. I came in Monday. There's a 746 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 13: man in the women's locker room shaving. A little girl 747 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 13: sitting in the corner. She could have been twelve years old, 748 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,200 Speaker 13: I don't know how old. She was in a towel, 749 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,600 Speaker 13: kind of freaked out that there's a man shaving in 750 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 13: her locker room. Well, I was offended. I took a 751 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 13: picture of him and I asked him, why are you 752 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 13: there a man with a penis? Why are you in 753 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 13: the women's locker room? And he justified by saying I'm 754 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 13: queer LGB. And I said, you shouldn't be in the 755 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:15,240 Speaker 13: women's locker room. Well, I left, and as I said, 756 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 13: this morning, I got canceled. Planet Fitness is defending the 757 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 13: man in the women's locker room, the man with a penis, 758 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 13: rather than the child sitting in the corner with towel 759 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 13: wrapped around her. 760 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 1: Okay, that's disgusting. Joining me now, Isabelle Brown, author of 761 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: the End of the Alphabet. Okay, Isabelle hold On. What 762 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: did Planet Fitness back off after all this? What exactly 763 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: is the fitness policy for dudes with penises in the 764 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: women's locker room? Jesse. 765 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 14: I wish I had an answer for that. If I did, 766 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 14: we'd probably live in a much simpler time in American 767 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 14: culture and politics. But the crazy part is this clip 768 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 14: is from a Planet Fitness in Alaska. 769 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: This wasn't happening. 770 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,080 Speaker 14: In New York City or Los Angeles, or Seattle or 771 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,839 Speaker 14: even Denver, where I grew up. This happened in Anchorage, Alaska. 772 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 14: So if you think that your hometown is immune to 773 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,240 Speaker 14: this stuff, it's not. But we need more courageous people 774 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 14: like this woman speaking up and standing up for young girls, 775 00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,879 Speaker 14: which is really what this issue is all about when 776 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 14: you get to the crux of it, every single day 777 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,320 Speaker 14: across America. 778 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: Okay, So it's just going to be another bud Light situation. 779 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,919 Speaker 1: Are we just going to forget about this? What's going 780 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:27,920 Speaker 1: on with Planet Fitness. 781 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 14: I'm hopeful that this changes so many people's tune, and 782 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 14: obviously it's been very successful when we've spoken up against 783 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 14: companies from bud Light to Target and Amazon and everybody 784 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 14: in between. But I think this actually speaks to a 785 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 14: much larger symptom happening in American culture, where this has 786 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,240 Speaker 14: become the norm. No longer is it a radical fringe 787 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 14: idea for a grown man to be fully nude in 788 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 14: a locker room alongside of underage girls and even taking 789 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,239 Speaker 14: photos and videos of themselves in the process. Sadly, the 790 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 14: more we've normalized or stayed silent about this, the more 791 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 14: it's become commonplace in American culture. So I'm incredibly excited 792 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 14: this week, for example, to see people like Riley Gains 793 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 14: suing the NCAA that something like this was allowed to 794 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 14: happen at the collegiate level, and I think legally is 795 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 14: where we need to start taking action to make sure 796 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 14: this doesn't happen in the future. 797 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,640 Speaker 1: It's about how much of the younger generation of women 798 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: are horrified by this but silent, right I don't know 799 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 1: how to interpret the lack of noise I hear. I 800 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,319 Speaker 1: realize some women are speaking up, like Riley Gaines, and 801 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: I applaud them, but it seems awfully quiet, and you 802 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 1: would think women would be outraged, But I don't see it. 803 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,320 Speaker 14: I think you might be looking in the wrong places 804 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 14: and or maybe not engaging in the dialogue that's happening 805 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 14: on social media, namely on TikTok. You know, TikTok has 806 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 14: been under fire the last couple of weeks, particularly for 807 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,120 Speaker 14: data security concerns. We can debate that all day long 808 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 14: in terms of if China is really being taken very 809 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 14: seriously by our Congress in terms of ptime American citizens. 810 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,760 Speaker 14: But I see conversations like this one happening on TikTok 811 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 14: every day from women saying, you know, I used to 812 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 14: go along with this, but enough is enough. The same 813 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 14: has been said all week. I've seen thousands of videos 814 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 14: about Dylan Mulvaney's New Days of Girlhood music video and 815 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 14: how women everywhere across the political spectrum feel incredibly targeted, 816 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 14: made fun of, and wildly offended by what constitutes being 817 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 14: a woman today. So the tide is beginning to turn. 818 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 14: I think we're just starting to see it manifest on 819 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 14: cultural issues more so than in the political arena. But 820 00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 14: as we know, politics comes downstream from culture, so the 821 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 14: pendulum will swing there too. 822 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 2: I'm guessing you don't. 823 00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,800 Speaker 1: You're not a big fan of a TikTok band through Congress. 824 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 14: I'm not, no, and been very outspoken about that. 825 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 1: It's about thank you so much, thank you?
