1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Klay, Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 2: Welcome in, Oh Boy, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos. I feel like 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 2: that could be the story that we begin with for 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: the next six months as we move closer to November fifth, 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: the Trump trial underway. So all of you know I 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 2: have not yet been arrested. If you missed yesterday show, 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: CNN says that I've committed felonies and should be arrested. 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 2: Maybe we'll play that audio for you a little bit 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 2: later in the program, but I want to update you 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: with everything that's going on right now, which is I 12 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: would say remarkably chaotic, even with the Trump standard of 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: chaos that often applies. So let me give you like 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: a rundown of what is transpiring as we speak. Julie 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: Kelly is going to join us at one thirty eastern 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: right now. The Supreme Court is hearing a case on 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: whether or not half of the charges that Jack Smith 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: brought related to January sixth on Donald Trump can be 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: applied or not to his actions on that day. And 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: this gets into the weeds a little bit, and we 21 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: will be talking about this in detail with her. But 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: you may have heard us discussing it for some time. Essentially, 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: prosecutors tried to use a corporate statute that was passed 24 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: as a part of Sarbanes Oxley that was designed to 25 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: restrict corporate governance Mouthfeissans, and they are trying to use 26 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: that to apply it to people who walked into the 27 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: Capitol on January sixth by saying that they were obstructing 28 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: an official proceeding. And the Court is having to analyze 29 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: whether or not that has been appropriately applied to the 30 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: January sixth defendants. An early spoiler alert this morning, Buck, 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: I was listening and reading about that argument. I don't 32 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: think this is going to be close. I think it's 33 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: going to be at least three that they cannot use 34 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: these statutes, and it may go all the way out 35 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: to potentially some of the liberal justices as well, who 36 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: have evinced a great deal of skepticism. 37 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 3: Also, we'll get Julie Kelly's read have you seen this? 38 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: I mean, I think if they were to go seven 39 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: to two or something in that magnitude to strike this down, 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: it would be a huge blow to Jack Smith and 41 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: all of the Democrats that have tried to use this 42 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 2: January sixth statute. 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 4: Well, I also think that it goes into a larger framework, 44 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 4: a bigger it's evidence in a bigger trial, if you will, 45 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 4: that how many times can they try to use the 46 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 4: law against Trump and they have to get slapped down? 47 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? 48 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: You look at all the different prosecutors, all the different 49 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: efforts to destroy Trump that we are finding the system 50 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 4: itself is saying is outrageous, meaning they've tried to abuse 51 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 4: the system to destroy Trump. And then people have had 52 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 4: to step in at the Supreme Court level, for example, 53 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 4: and say, guys, what are you doing. That's not constitutional, 54 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 4: that's not lawful. And the best example is the nine 55 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: to zero of what Colorado was trying to do. And 56 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: then Maine dabbled in for a second of removing Trump 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 4: from the ballot. To be very clear, the most left 58 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 4: wing justices I think in the history of the Supreme Court, okay, 59 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 4: and certainly the most among the most anti Trump judges 60 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 4: you'll find anywhere went along with the majority and that 61 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 4: they said, guys, you can't just say we think he 62 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: did a thing that hasn't been proven in court, and 63 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: we're going to remove him from the ballot and he 64 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: can't be president. He can't do that, right, I mean, 65 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: you're effectively overriding federal elections, Clay, if this happens now 66 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: to your point about the Supreme Court argument this morning, 67 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 4: if that gets struck down, they will have abused another 68 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 4: statute to pile up against not just Trump but his supporters. 69 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 4: Their abuse isn't just a matter of opinion, and their 70 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 4: abuse of the law is becoming increasingly a matter of 71 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 4: fact over and over again. And this is also important 72 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 4: they are trying now. This has just happened. 73 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: The prosecutors have filed emotion to hold Trump in contempt 74 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: for violating the gag order that was put on place 75 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,239 Speaker 2: in place for him in the Manhattan criminal trial. Trump 76 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 2: has already weighed in this morning and I listened and 77 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: I was like, wow, this is what he said outside 78 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: of the courtroom as we were as he entered this morning. 79 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 3: So this is a couple of hours ago. I think. Now, listen, 80 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 3: we have a judge who shouldn't be on this case. 81 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: He's totally conflicted. 82 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 4: But this is a trial that should never happen or 83 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: should have been thrown out a long time ago. 84 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: If you look at a job at the term andy 85 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: regard the all. 86 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: Great legal skos is not one that we've been able 87 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 3: to find that said this should be a trial right 88 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: now in Pennsylvania and far in many other states. 89 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: North Camp Judji campaign. 90 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: This is all coming from the bite one White House because. 91 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: They guy can't put two sentences together. 92 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: You can't campaign maybe a using this in order to 93 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: try and win an election, and it's not working that way. 94 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: It's working the opposite player. 95 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: Okay, So that is Trump this morning. He also posted 96 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: on truth right before he went into the courtroom. Buck, 97 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: this conflicted Trump hating judge won't let me respond to 98 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 2: people that are on TV lying and spewing hate all 99 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 2: day long. He's running roughshod over my lawyers and legal team. 100 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 2: The New York system of quotation marks justice is being 101 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 2: decimated by critics from all over the world. I want 102 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: to speak or at least be able to respond. Election interference, rigged, 103 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: unconstitutional trial. Take off the gag order now, Buck, here's 104 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: my question for you. Are they gonna put them in 105 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: jail over this? Because I think that's where this is headed. 106 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 2: I think this judge wants Trump in jail for VIAT 107 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: for contempt. And I don't think it's crazy to think 108 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 2: it's gonna happen. I think Trump may want it to happen. 109 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: Well, this is there are some parts of this that 110 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 4: are legal analysis and parts of this that become very 111 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 4: obviously political analysis, and I know they're intertwined as well. 112 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 4: I know we get this question all the time, and 113 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: it's funny because I don't know anybody who has an 114 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 4: answer to it. How do you incarcerate somebody who has 115 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 4: lifetime twenty four to seven Secret Service protected. We started 116 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 4: asking this years ago. Yeah, we've been looking at this 117 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 4: for a long time now. There is precedent for you know, 118 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 4: taking taking a person and putting them in I think 119 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: they call it administrative administrative segregation where you know, for example, 120 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: if a cop gets put in like state prison, they 121 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 4: sometimes will move because you know, maybe. 122 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: A protective custody basically different to the other members of 123 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: the of the jail. 124 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you could do something like that, but you 125 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 4: would have to have Secret Service, like I think Trump might. 126 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 4: This is I understand, this is crazy. Can I just 127 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 4: preface this. I know what we're saying here is crazy, 128 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 4: but we're in a crazy time everyone. I think there's 129 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 4: a situation where maybe they would because if they hold 130 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 4: him in contempt. 131 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: What he's going to be forty eight hours or something, right, 132 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: I thinen him in cuffs and they walk, they purple walk. 133 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. That's the question. 134 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 4: They want to break, the seal, they want to establish, 135 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 4: just like remember the Brag trial was the first one 136 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: to bring an indictment, which I always thought was significant 137 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: because yeah, it was flimsy, but they knew that there 138 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 4: was no process by which it would likely be overturned 139 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: or stopped in New York. So they wanted to set 140 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 4: the precedent, and all the omens came in Clay. I 141 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 4: think they could put him. I think they think, I'll 142 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 4: put it that way. They think they could end up 143 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 4: putting him in and administer great. By the way, if 144 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 4: we have somebody from like Bureau of Prisons or you know, 145 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 4: New York State Bureau of Prisons, or just in general, 146 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 4: let us know if you think there is some precedent. 147 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 4: My sense is they would have to shut down like 148 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 4: a wing of a holding facility, and then there have 149 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 4: to be secret service there to protect him. But he'd 150 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: have to be inside of a cell for a couple 151 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 4: of days, and that's what they would That's what they would. 152 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 3: They can't. I don't think that. 153 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 4: I mean that the New York State can't say you 154 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 4: no longer have Secret Service protection. They can't do that. 155 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: Okay, so that leads to them, which is crazy. There 156 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: aren't a lot of precedents for this, Okay, there's no president, 157 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: like there's no I mean, there are precedents for famous 158 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: people being held in contempt of court. Never someone would 159 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: secret Service protection. They never a former and likely future 160 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: president of the United States though. So here is my 161 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: question for you. Then, as a part of that. 162 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,599 Speaker 4: Is this Trump as I've used this innound because I 163 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 4: remember growing up watching it. 164 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: Do you know brer Rabbit at Allbuck? Do you remember 165 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 3: the Braer Rabbit stories? No, ok, I don't know what 166 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 3: you're talking about. 167 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: I don't know what percentage of people out there will 168 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: remember this. I'm in Georgia, by the way, which is 169 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: where I think that Joeld Chandler Harris Breer Rabbit stories originated. 170 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 2: They were later made into cartoons, all this stuff Breer Rabbit, 171 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: and before they decided that Splash Mountain was racist at 172 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: Disney World, Breer Rabbit was the star of Splash Mountain. 173 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,359 Speaker 3: If any of you have been on the Splash Mountain. 174 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: Ride at Disney, Okay, Breer Rabbit would always say, don't 175 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: throw me in the briar patch. Whatever you do, don't 176 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: throw me in the briar patch. Is Donald Trump daring 177 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 2: marchand this judge, as well as the larger Democrat party 178 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: apparatus to put him in jail, because in the same 179 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: way that the mugshot was a huge benefit to Trump, 180 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: is him getting put in jail for contempt of court 181 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: a huge political win for him? 182 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: Leave aside the legal for right now. 183 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 4: I do think so, especially especially on this because even 184 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 4: people who are casual observers. 185 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 3: Of the news, which is most people, because most. 186 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 4: People are you know, we have a hyper attuned and 187 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 4: informed audience most of America. As much as I love America, 188 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 4: people have other things that don't watch the news, even 189 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 4: if you or watch much of the news, uh, and 190 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 4: they get their news from bad places. 191 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: In a lot of play, in a lot of context too. 192 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 4: I think that the that Donald Trump in a cell, 193 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 4: the reason being he was held in contempt by a judge, 194 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 4: the reason being he's speaking out against a trial that 195 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 4: has to do with a business administrative accounting error. That's 196 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 4: all this is that is what we're talking about here. 197 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: I think that any normal person who has not been 198 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 4: just steeped in Trump arrangement syndrome would say to that, 199 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 4: this is this, we can't have this in our country. 200 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 4: And I think that's why the polls are all showing 201 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 4: what they're showing right. 202 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 3: Now, Clay, That's that's the truth. 203 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, And this is why. I mean, look, you things 204 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: cut through. I think what you said is a good 205 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: a good point. What percentage of people do you think 206 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: have seen the Trump mug shot photo? What percentage of 207 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 2: American voters? One hundred percent. I think it's almost impossible 208 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 2: that you would not have seen the Trump mugshot picture, 209 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: even if you're not paying attention to the news on 210 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: a day to day basis. I mean, I think if 211 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: you can name the current vice president, you've seen the 212 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: mugshot photo, you know what I mean? 213 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 3: Like, I think if you have. 214 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 4: Shot photo, then they canname the vice president. I think 215 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 4: it's almost one hundred percent of voters would have seen 216 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 4: that photo. My point is almost one hundred percent of voters. 217 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 4: I'm saying voters because you know forty percent of people 218 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 4: are not voting. I think almost one hundred percent of 219 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 4: voters will see if Trump is arrested. They may not 220 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 4: pay attention to the results of the trial. They may 221 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 4: not be following on a day to day basis like 222 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 4: we are. And to me, I think it's highly likely 223 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 4: that it would work to his favor. And I wonder 224 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 4: how much political calculus in the same way. We've talked 225 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 4: for a long time now, ever since the raid on 226 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 4: mar Lago in what August of twenty two, we have 227 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: said there's a two tier story here, the legal and 228 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 4: the political, and they're intertwined in a way that we've 229 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 4: never seen before. Something can be smart and legally and 230 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 4: really poor decision of politically and vice versa. And also, 231 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 4: I think something to remember about where the Democrats are 232 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: and the anti Trump machinery. They thought all along that 233 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 4: these trials, that these prosecutions would destroy Donald Trump. They 234 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 4: have no choice but to see all of this through. 235 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 4: To withdraw all of it at this point, or to 236 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 4: withdraw all the efforts to say, all right, you know 237 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 4: the elections coming up, we're going to defer. Delay would 238 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 4: be essentially to admit that they had made some political 239 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: calculation error. So they have to go all the way 240 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 4: with this, and I think that in New York, what 241 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 4: you're seeing is if they brought this trial and I'm 242 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 4: gonna say, I mean they they did this to Trump's 243 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 4: uh Trump Incorporate, you know, corporation accountant Alan Weiselberg, who's 244 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 4: gone to prison, and they just sent to Peter Navarro, 245 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 4: uh to prison. He's serving a sentence right now for 246 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 4: not testifying to Congress because he's associated with Trump. If 247 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: they did this to anyone, Clay, it would be an outrage. 248 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 4: That they're doing it to the person who is leading 249 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 4: in the presidential nomination contest right now according to every 250 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 4: single polling company in the United States is It's outrageous 251 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 4: beyond words. But they have what are they going to do? 252 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: They won't stop, so they're going to see this all 253 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 4: the way through. 254 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: I don't know. 255 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 4: I don't see a way around it. I mean I 256 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 4: think that and and locking Trump up. Please, if you're 257 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 4: from if you if you worked in prisons, and you 258 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 4: have some idea of how they could do this, I 259 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 4: don't even know what would they do? How would this go? 260 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 4: Let us know, because I'd be very curious to hear it. 261 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 4: I think the only answer is if they would have 262 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 4: have to have the Secret Service come in clear a wing, 263 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 4: shut down the wing, and it would almost be like 264 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: you remember when Pablo Escobar got to build his own prison, 265 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 4: kind of be a little bit like that, because like 266 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 4: your guys would be running the thing, and uh, nobody 267 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 4: would really be. 268 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 3: And I don't know. 269 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: Also, Buck, he has to be in court, so I 270 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: don't even know how they can jail him because the 271 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: judge is already said that he has to be present 272 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: in court, even if it means that he misses his 273 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: son's graduation potentially, So if he gets put in court, 274 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 2: it further delays the process of the trial. I mean, 275 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: it's put in jail, it further delays the process of 276 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: the trial. 277 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 3: I just I don't even know. I this is fascinating. 278 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 3: I don't even know how this plays out. 279 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: But yeah, to your point eight hundred two A two 280 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 4: two eight eight two, if you have some theory, based 281 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 4: on your knowledge of the New York court system, what 282 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 4: this would be like or how it would work, I 283 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 4: would actually be be fascinated to hear. Yeah, I'm gonna 284 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 4: we're gonna dive into this, and I think, uh, I 285 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 4: mean it's gonna. 286 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 3: The thing is I just want to prepare all of you. 287 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 4: It's gonna get crazier. It's gonna get crazier. Yes, not 288 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 4: seen peak crazy. 289 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: We're just touching the tip of the iceberg right now 290 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: of the crazy that's coming. 291 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: That is correct, Yes, all right? Eight hundred two A 292 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 3: two two eight a two. 293 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 4: And you know this past year, the dedicated staff of 294 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 4: people at Preborn's network of clinics saved Are you ready 295 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 4: for this? Fifty eight thousand babies, thanks in large part 296 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 4: to your generosity and your dedication to this nonprofit. You know, 297 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 4: we talk a lot about the laws here and how 298 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 4: do how do we work with in this state and 299 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 4: save as much life as possible. I mean, that's a 300 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 4: worthy cause and the pro life movement is focused in 301 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 4: on that and doing what they can. But you know, 302 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 4: there's also what Preborn does where it's just helping to 303 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 4: create that bond between mother and baby in the womb, 304 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 4: so that mother, even if she's very troubled by the pregnancy, 305 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 4: wasn't expecting it, worried about the finances, she says, I'm 306 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 4: gonna give. 307 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 3: My child life. That's what Preborn does. 308 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 4: It helps create that incredibly powerful bond between mother and child, 309 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 4: and then it is more likely that mom is going 310 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 4: to make the choice for life. That's a critical part 311 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 4: of the pro life mission, and Preborn is doing a 312 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 4: day in and day out. One woman who visited the 313 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 4: preborn clinics was Katrina. Now she was thinking that she 314 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 4: was tending toward life for unborn baby, but people around 315 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 4: her were pressuring her to get an abortion. But by 316 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 4: God's grace, she was led to a Preborn Network clinic 317 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: where she was given a free ultrasound. When she saw 318 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 4: that baby on sonogram, she was amazed to see the 319 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 4: baby's movements, but then she heard the heartbeat and that 320 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 4: was it. In that moment, she realized there was a 321 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 4: miracle growing inside her womb, and Katrina's little baby was 322 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 4: born soon thereafter. Every day, Preborn celebrates two hundred miracles 323 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: just like this one. An ultrasound costs US twenty eight 324 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 4: dollars that can be the difference between life and death 325 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: for a child. All you have to do is dial 326 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 4: pound two five zero say the keyword baby. That's pound 327 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: two fifty say baby.

I 338 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 4: don't want to say we told you so, but I 339 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 4: kind of told you. A lot of you agreed, some 340 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 4: of you disagreed. But now we see changing out the 341 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 4: speaker when you have a razor thin majority in the 342 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 4: House to begin with, isn't going to give you all 343 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 4: the things you want. We'll talk about it, though, and 344 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 4: there's someting ideas and options out there to be sure. 345 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 4: It's I think it's an interesting debate. Nothing else allows 346 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 4: people to vent some of their irritation with the Rhino 347 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 4: Caucus such as it is. But we mentioned this story 348 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 4: to you. Wanted to return to this one for a second. NPR, 349 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 4: which is best known for being I think the radio 350 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 4: station you hear in the background that is intended to 351 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 4: help make you fall asleep. 352 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 3: It's really good. You know. 353 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 4: They all kind of talk like this, and they have 354 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 4: this very sort of, you know, mellow way of speaking, 355 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 4: and they just got and you know, you kind of 356 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 4: get dazed into it. I haven't listened to a lot 357 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 4: of NPR occidis. You'm in a car. Somebody has it on. 358 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 4: NPR has suspended that editor we mentioned who claimed left 359 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 4: wing bias at the outlet and said that they had 360 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 4: lost America's trust. NPR suspension here of this guy after 361 00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 4: he had a scathing online essay embracing a because MPs 362 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 4: embraced a progressive worldview, prompting quote this is from CNN 363 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 4: Clay's favorite favorite place last twenty four hours. Yes, they 364 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 4: want they want him suspended. They want Clay locked up. 365 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 4: That's what we know about CNN prompting fierce right wing backlash, 366 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 4: calling for the defunding of Public, the public radio network. 367 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 3: And yeah, they got into some of this. 368 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 4: I have to say they they're I'm not surprised they 369 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 4: did this at all. I didn't really process at first 370 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 4: that this guy still work for NPR at some level, though, 371 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 4: I think Clay. One of the lessons here is for 372 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 4: people that wake up and recognize, Oh, I don't work 373 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 4: for a news organization, I work up for I work 374 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 4: for a propaganda entity that does the work of the 375 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 4: left of the Democrat Party. They know that, and they 376 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 4: expect their employees to know that, And the whole game 377 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 4: is everybody. 378 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: Knows, but nobody's allowed to talk about it. 379 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 4: This is true, by the way, and this is true 380 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 4: at ABC News, this is true at all of. 381 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 3: These plays in New York Times. So did you really 382 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 3: think he was gonna get away with it? What do 383 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 3: you make of this? 384 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 2: So I look at this in the context of his name, 385 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: by the way, is Uri Berlinner, I think, which sounds 386 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 2: like a made up name. But Uri Berlinner found that 387 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 2: there were seventy six registered Democrats in the Washington DC 388 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 2: NPR office and there were no Republicans. And he raised 389 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: that as an issue because they claim that they care 390 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: about the overall fairness of their doctrine. So my first 391 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 2: thought is, we have to legitimately get to the case buck, 392 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 2: We're not one single dollar of taxpayer money direct or 393 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 2: indirect goes to fund NPR. If they can work in 394 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 2: the marketplace and if they can make a living as 395 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 2: all businesses do. More power to them. The government doesn't 396 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 2: fund Clay and Buck. We stand a one as a 397 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 2: capitalistic venture based on you guys listening and sponsorship dollars 398 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: and everything else. 399 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 3: So this to me is number one. Number two. The 400 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 3: new woman that they hired. 401 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen some of her some 402 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 2: of her tweets, but even by NPR standards, this woman 403 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: is crazy. This woman's name is this is the person 404 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: who's suspending Yuri Berlinner. Her name is Catherine Mayer or 405 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: mar I'm not sure how you pronounce it. She tweeted 406 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: this lots of jokes about leaving the US, and I 407 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 2: get it, But as someone with SIS white mobility privilege, 408 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'm staying and investing in ridding ourselves of 409 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 2: this specter of tyranny. So I didn't even know that 410 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 2: sis white mobility privilege existed. I guess that means if 411 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: you're white and you can walk. I was going to 412 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 2: ask you, this, is it economic mobility or physical mobility 413 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 2: we're talking about here? Is it you have the the 414 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 2: financial means to leave a place, or is it you 415 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 2: have the actual physical ability to walk out of a place, 416 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 2: as in being more mobile. 417 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 3: Do we know? I, oh, that's a great question. You 418 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: may be right. 419 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 4: I didn't even think about it as an economic way 420 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: of analyzing things. I thought it because I tied this 421 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 4: in with you know, they did away with the use 422 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 4: of the disabled list in Major League Baseball. You knew this, right, Yes, 423 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 4: they now have the uh. I think it's the injured 424 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 4: list because they found that the disabled list was considered 425 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 4: to be not respectful enough of people with disabilities. So 426 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 4: I believe they've changed the name in Major League Baseball 427 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 4: to the injured list. Here's a couple of Catherine Mar's 428 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 4: other It's a good question. 429 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. 430 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: Maybe maybe some of our woke translators out there know 431 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 2: the answer to that. 432 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 3: Here's a couple of her other tweets. 433 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 2: Buck I do wish Hillary wouldn't use the language of 434 00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 2: boy and girl. It's erasing language for non binary people, 435 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: She tweeted. 436 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 3: These are her tweets. This is the person who's in 437 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 3: charge of NPR. 438 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 2: I'm an unalloyed progressive and supporting Hillary this time around. 439 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: She also said the best part of Arizona GOOTV is 440 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 2: my Biden grandpa hat. So she's walking around in a 441 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 2: Biden for president with one of those massive N ninety 442 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: five masks on her. 443 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 4: These are things that she's tweeted. So this woman is 444 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 4: far left wing. I saw this communist is running NPR. 445 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: Yes, I saw this not only in the specter of 446 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 2: this guy gets suspended for telling the truth, which is 447 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: NPR is a rig news organization, but that he's being 448 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: suspended by, to your point, effectively a left wing communist 449 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: who is ostensibly arguing that she is representative of the 450 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: American public. We just no American taxpayer dollars. Yesterday was 451 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: tax day. I cut checks. I was not happy to 452 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: cut You did too. I know a lot of you 453 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 2: out there listening did too. The idea that any dollars 454 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: that I send in would go to support NPR in 455 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 2: any way direct or indirect is fundamentally unacceptable. It's time 456 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 2: to truly cut them off. 457 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 4: It's fascinating too that they the people that are so 458 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 4: obsessed with diversity and inclusion just as words. We all 459 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 4: know what that means. It's really just uh, you know, 460 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 4: race based mark cosmetic diversity. It's cosmetic diversity, right, But 461 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 4: put that aside for a second. The people that are 462 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 4: obsessed with diversity and inclusion. Think it's okay that NPR 463 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 4: which does get some public funding those. 464 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,239 Speaker 3: It's not a lot, okay, But what's not a lot? 465 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 3: Why do you get any? Right? Yeah? 466 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 4: You know, you know, how about we get you know, 467 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 4: oh well the Clay and Buck show the government Just 468 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 4: kick us like, you know, five to ten mil. You know, 469 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 4: it's no big deal. Just kick us five or ten mil. 470 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 4: It's not a lot, right, I mean, why not eighty 471 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 4: seven registered Democrats, zero Republicans working at NPR. How can 472 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 4: anyone think that a new organization that does not even 473 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 4: feel the need to have a a token Republican right? 474 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 4: Does it even feel the need to have Hey, like 475 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 4: we you know, we hate Bob who sits our bill, 476 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 4: who sits in the corner and is our like crazy 477 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 4: right winger. But at least we know what half the 478 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: country thinks if we talk to them. They don't even 479 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 4: want that. They want like a Maoist cultural revolution level 480 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 4: purity in that newsroom. They want it to be only 481 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 4: people that all agree and see the country the same way, 482 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: knowing that half the country thinks. I don't think people 483 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: that work at NPR are like I have like difference 484 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,919 Speaker 4: of opinion. I think that there are a lot of 485 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 4: times delusional and mentally ill like I think there's something 486 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 4: wrong with them. I think they have anxiety disorders that 487 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 4: they actually think are political positions, and that's where we 488 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 4: are as a country. So I just think we need 489 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 4: to be honest about it and think about how much 490 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 4: self selecting is going on. If an organization that has 491 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 4: as many employees as NPR is one hundred percent has Democrats, 492 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 4: And this is why the diversity and inclusion people to me, 493 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 4: are full of it. The only diversity that matters is 494 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 4: diversity of thought, and what they're doing is using cosmetic 495 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 4: diversity as a cover to have a lot of people 496 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 4: who look different and think the exact same. 497 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 3: How does that benefit any organization well? 498 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 4: And the way the way diversity and inclusion actually functions 499 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 4: at institutions that are considered elite, at least in terms 500 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 4: of you know, it's hard to get hired or hard 501 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 4: to get admitted. Thinking about schools in that context, right, 502 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 4: the truth of a Harvard an NPR is not Harvard 503 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 4: by any means, but similar idea, the same mentality work. 504 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 3: The truth of an NPR is. 505 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 4: They think that there is more more to be gained 506 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 4: from the perspective that you get of having a white 507 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: you know, let's say a white guy who's you know, parents, 508 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 4: you know, went to Cornell or something, and we're doctors 509 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 4: sitting next to a black guy whose parents went to 510 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,160 Speaker 4: you know, went to Dartmouth, and our doctors they think 511 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 4: that that, okay, well, there's diversity there. But they don't 512 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 4: think that there's diversity if you have somebody who grew 513 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 4: up you know, in rural eastern Kentucky really poor. Yeah, 514 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 4: they don't think of that as diversity. They don't think 515 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 4: of that as expanding perspective. So, you know, two people 516 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 4: that would have lived very similar lives and often share 517 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 4: very similar perspectives, but are different ethnicities that somehow to 518 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 4: them brings different perspectives to the conversation. That's far more 519 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 4: valuable than somebody who, for example, grew up really poor 520 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 4: in disadvantage and somebody who grew up really richly. They don't, 521 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 4: they don't view that as necessary at all. And this guy, 522 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 4: Yuri Berliner, is a Democrat, so he's just not leftist 523 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 4: enough for the Demens. Not like he's a Republican who 524 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 4: was pointing out the flaws that he saw here. He's 525 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 4: just somewhat of an honest liberal, not a progressive, an 526 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 4: honest liberal who looks around and says, we don't really 527 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 4: have a marketplace of ideas here, and we're failing as 528 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 4: a result. You know, I think of ideologies in this way, 529 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 4: you know. And this is this has been true of honestly, 530 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 4: of communists all along. Is they want to infiltrate an organization, 531 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 4: a country, an entity, and then they need uniformity. They 532 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 4: need to control the entire thing because their ideas stink 533 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 4: and their results are horrible, and so if there's any 534 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 4: other approach that could be at hand, they will not 535 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,479 Speaker 4: have power. So this is why they need absolutism. They 536 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 4: need uniformity. And I've said it reminds me, you know. 537 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 4: I went and I went and took my little nephew 538 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 4: and my family to the We had an amazing alligator tour. 539 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 3: You know. 540 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 4: One of the big problems in the Everglades is they 541 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 4: have these there's a bunch of different invasive species, but 542 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 4: a big one is the boa constrictors. Right, They've got 543 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 4: learn like pythons for these pythons boa constrictors, and they 544 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 4: eat a lot of the native wildlf. The thing is, 545 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 4: they're not trying to establish a balance in the ecosystem. 546 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 4: They're gonna like kill all the native species, birds and 547 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 4: different things, and because they will take over. That's why 548 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 4: they're an invasive species. Lionfish, the same thing on the 549 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 4: reefs here. That's why they go out they hunt these lines. 550 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 4: You ever see those things are crazy looking lickfish or 551 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 4: the carp up in the Midwest that have gotten into 552 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 4: so many of the lakes and rivers all over the 553 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 4: Midwest to take over and dominate this invasive species from Asia. Communists, 554 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 4: ideologically aren't invasive species. They do not seek This is 555 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 4: why it's so fascinate. They talk about like diversity and inclusion, 556 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 4: all this stuff whatever. They actually do not seek parody, representation, 557 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 4: anything else. They want ideological across the board conformity, which 558 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 4: is why The New York Times NPR look at the 559 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 4: same story clay that plays out in newsroom after newsroom 560 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 4: over the last twenty years. Somehow it never is the 561 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,239 Speaker 4: case that they go, oh my gosh, I woke up 562 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 4: one day in the washing the post was so right 563 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 4: wing and only far right, maga hat wearing. We don't 564 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 4: think that way. They the communist democrat think in terms 565 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 4: of it can only be my way and the existence 566 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 4: of other ideas is a threat to the existence of 567 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 4: my ideas. 568 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 3: It's all or nothing with them. 569 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 4: And that's what you see at NPR, and that's what 570 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 4: you see at campus after campus, news organization after news organization, 571 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 4: and now unfortunately, company after company, and it. 572 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 3: Ain't getting better. 573 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 2: And it's interesting that when someone speaks out and a 574 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 2: lot of people say, you know what, he's right, they 575 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 2: immediately try to silence him. And that's happening lots of places, 576 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 2: probably in your unemployment offices out there. You've seen things 577 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 2: like this happen. 578 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 4: And they don't even they don't even feel the need 579 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 4: to address the underlying critique, which is obviously a problem. 580 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 4: You have any news organization that only has Democrats and 581 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 4: that's getting public funding, that should be an embarrassment. No, 582 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 4: the problem is that he talked it, not let's talk 583 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 4: about it. You shut your mouth, you do the work 584 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 4: of the communist party, you call yourself a good, loyal 585 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 4: progressive democrat, and you go forward. 586 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: All right. 587 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 4: Look, if you're a firearms enthusiast like I am, where 588 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 4: do you have one in your life?

Let's dive right into it. 614 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 3: Fisher v. 615 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 4: United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments today. Before we 616 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 4: get into where you think the judges are going. Judges 617 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 4: are going, can you just give us background as to 618 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 4: what's at issue here and why it's such a big deal, 619 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 4: not just for Trump but for a lot of j 620 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 4: six defendants. 621 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 5: Right. So, this relates to the government's use DOJ's use 622 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 5: of fifteen twelve C two Obstruction of an official person 623 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 5: be eating statute. This was passed in the wake aftermath 624 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 5: of the En Run Arthur Anderson scandal. It has to 625 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 5: do with evidence tampering or document shredding as we saw 626 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 5: in that case. What the DOJ has done, for the 627 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 5: first time ever is weaponized that statute to criminalize political 628 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 5: dissent and charge now roughly three hundred and fifty January 629 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 5: sixth protesters with this felony offense punishable by up to 630 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 5: twenty years in prison. It, finally, three years later, has 631 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 5: made it to the Supreme Court and oral arguments. Joseph 632 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 5: Fisher was one of these defendants charged. The District Court 633 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 5: Judge Carl Nichols is the only one who dismissed this 634 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 5: count against him, and the DOJ appealed that, which is 635 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 5: how now we got to the Supreme Court oral arguments today. 636 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 2: Okay, Julie, I listened to part of this. I saw 637 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 2: the questions. I wasn't able to listen to every minute 638 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 2: like you were, because you were inside of this courtroom. 639 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: But I have been in the Supreme Court before and 640 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 2: been able to forecast by watching and listening and seeing 641 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 2: body language and everything else. What I thought was likely 642 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: based on what I saw, I see this as a 643 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 2: six ' to three at worst when that would strike 644 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 2: down the use of these statutes. Do you agree or 645 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 2: disagree with that? How would you assess your read of 646 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 2: the justices questions and where their opinions may lie as 647 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:25,760 Speaker 2: a result. 648 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 5: So, just to clarify, I wasn't in the courtroom today. 649 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 3: Oh my bad. 650 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 5: I know that's okay. Fortunately, you can cover all of 651 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 5: these proceedings on the Supreme Court website and also see 652 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 5: span and it's just easier to do it that way. 653 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 5: I will tell you I was a little worried, I think, 654 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 5: and disappointed at first with Fisher's attorney's presentation. I didn't 655 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 5: think it was as strong as it needed to be, 656 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 5: and the questions were tough as to the two different 657 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 5: parts of the statutes that are now in question. But 658 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 5: I sort of agree it could be sixty three, it 659 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 5: might be five to four. Amy Cony Barrett again seemed 660 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 5: a little bit unclear as to her position, which might 661 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 5: be fine. But look the idea that you can take 662 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 5: an entire code of the US Criminal Code fifteen twelve, 663 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 5: which only has to do with tampering with evidence or 664 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 5: witnesses in judicial proceedings, and clip out this sub section 665 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 5: and set this aside from everything else to make it 666 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,160 Speaker 5: sound that official proceeding which is used throughout fifteen twelve, 667 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 5: meaning a judicial proceeding, not a function of Congress. To 668 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,240 Speaker 5: carve that out and not only now take the novel 669 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 5: approach of using it to congressional proceedings, but of course 670 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 5: only apply it to those people involved in the events 671 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 5: of January sixth, which, as you guys know, this became 672 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 5: quite clear during the discussion today. 673 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 4: Actually, Julie, can we jump in here real quick because 674 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 4: we want to play for everybody hear Supreme Court is gorshic. 675 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 4: This is cut twenty eight dealing with exactly what you're 676 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 4: talking about, which is, oh so only in this congressional 677 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 4: instance is obstruction a problem play? 678 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 6: It would a sit in that disrupts a trial or 679 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 6: access to a federal courthouse qualify? Would a heckler in 680 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 6: today's audience qualify? Or at the City of the Union address, 681 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 6: would pulling a fire alarm before a vote qualify? For 682 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 6: twenty years in federal prison. 683 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 7: The actus rays does require obstruction, which we understand to 684 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 7: be a meaningful interference. We'd also have to be able 685 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 7: to prove that they acted corruptly, and this sets a 686 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,280 Speaker 7: stringent men's raya. It's not even just the mere intent 687 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 7: to obstruct. We have to show that also, but we 688 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 7: have to show that they had corrupt intent in acting 689 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 7: in that way. 690 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 6: Most scrupted roadtests that actually obstructs and impedes and an 691 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,720 Speaker 6: official proceeding for an indefinite period would not be covered. 692 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 7: Not necessarily, we would just have to have the evidence 693 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 7: of intent, and that's a they. 694 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 3: Tend to do it all right. 695 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think he knewked their whole argument here. 696 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 4: I don't know how they get around this. There's absolutely 697 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 4: no legal basis to she's saying, Oh, well, corrupt men's 698 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 4: ray or something. Yeah, they're obstructing. They won't obstruct, and 699 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 4: they're obstructing. Really, it seems to me, July, what she's 700 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 4: saying is, well, if you know it's climate change protesters, 701 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 4: we like them, so we're not going to throw them 702 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 4: in prison for twenty years. 703 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 5: That's exactly what she was saying. And I'll take this 704 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 5: a step first. Or I just emailed last week the 705 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 5: spokeswoman for the DCUs Attorney's office, the federal prosecutor handling 706 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 5: now fourteen hundred plus JA six cases, and I asked her, 707 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 5: do you have any of the pro Palestinian anti Israel 708 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 5: demonstrators who have done the same sort of conduct over 709 00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:50,400 Speaker 5: the past six months, especially in Washington, DC and unlawfully 710 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 5: entering capital buildings and disrupting Senate hearings. Have they faced 711 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 5: any federal charges, including obstruction of an official proceeding? And 712 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 5: she told me no, all of these cases are being 713 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 5: handled by the local DC prosecutor, which means they will 714 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 5: be local offenses. So I was a little surprised that 715 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 5: Elizabeth Peyligor was not better prepared to answer the selective 716 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 5: prosecution angle of fifteen twelve y two and the potential 717 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 5: slippery slope, which is a justice that seemed concerned about 718 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 5: that if you carved this out and turn this into 719 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 5: a felony punishable by twenty years up to prison for 720 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 5: someone screaming during a proceeding of the Supreme Court or 721 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 5: a Senate confirmation hearing or anything we've seen especially the 722 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 5: past six months. But she's saying, oh, no, that won't apply, 723 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 5: and they're asking, well why not, Well, I just don't 724 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 5: think it will. 725 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 3: That's okay. 726 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 5: Satisfy the inquiring minds of the justices. 727 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 2: Julie, as always, you're doing an incredible job covering this, 728 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 2: and I have to give you credit. Years ago you 729 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 2: started raising this as a potential issue, and I think 730 00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 2: a lot of people shot you down with, oh, there's 731 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 2: never going to be any impact on this, And now 732 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 2: it seems likely that the Supreme Court is going to 733 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 2: strike down I think prosecutions under this statute if we 734 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 2: are correct about that, and in June, the Supreme Court 735 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 2: issues and opinion you said maybe five four six three. 736 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 2: I think you would agree that it's likely that they 737 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 2: are going to strike it down. What is the impact then, 738 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 2: where do we go from there? 739 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 5: Well, thank you for saying that. That's why today was 740 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 5: so gratifying, because I have been covering this for over 741 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 5: three years and hearing from more importantly the defendants and 742 00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 5: their families and what this substruction felony charge has destroyed 743 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,400 Speaker 5: their lives and families and bankrupted them. So what it 744 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,919 Speaker 5: will mean for them. They will get to go back 745 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 5: and say that the Supreme Court has reversed the DOJ 746 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,920 Speaker 5: Matthew Graves, the DCUs Attorney, and seventeen judges on the 747 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 5: DC District and Circuit courts who out hold discount even 748 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 5: when they knew understood how vague it was, how brot 749 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 5: it was, how selectively it has been applied, and the 750 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 5: slippery slope that it creates. These defendants now will get 751 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 5: long awaited exoneration and hopefully they you know, they will 752 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 5: have this charge reversed. They will be released from prison, 753 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 5: they'll have the charge drop, they won't face prison time, 754 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 5: and this will represent a huge black eye to the 755 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 5: DC federal court system and the US Attorney's Office in 756 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 5: DC and d OJ for abusing this law to yes 757 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 5: creates a set of political prisoners who only have been 758 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,840 Speaker 5: subjected to the selling when no one else has. And 759 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,840 Speaker 5: Elizabeth Priliguard said today no one else will be just 760 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:44,280 Speaker 5: j fixers. 761 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 2: Julie, how does it apply to Trump? So we know 762 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 2: that they're trying to still rush through this case. I 763 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,839 Speaker 2: believe this would knock in theory two of the four 764 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 2: charges that Jack Smith is trying to bring against Trump 765 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,239 Speaker 2: out of the contemplation, right, what would that mean as 766 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 2: you see it for that trial in the event that 767 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 2: we're right and this ruling comes down, because to make 768 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,200 Speaker 2: it like kind of Trump specific I believe I'm correct 769 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 2: that two of the four charges against Trump for January 770 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:20,160 Speaker 2: sixth related charges in DC are these aspects that are 771 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 2: being examined. 772 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:26,120 Speaker 5: You're exactly right. So this has great jeopardy to jectsima's 773 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 5: criminal indictment in Washington against Donald Trump, which of course 774 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 5: is now and definitely postponed until the Supreme Court renders 775 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 5: an opinion on presidential immunity. Those hearings are next Thursday, 776 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,799 Speaker 5: by the way, for people who want to tune in. 777 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 5: But this does jeopardize his indictment, and it should if 778 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 5: the Supreme Court comes back, and they need to very 779 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 5: clearly say any congressional proceeding, including the events of January sixth, 780 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,960 Speaker 5: does not apply to the meaning of official proceeding in 781 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 5: the entirety of fifteen twelve, including fifteen twelve C one 782 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 5: and C two. And this has to do with destruction 783 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 5: of evidence, evidence, impairment, document treading, et cetera. So if 784 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 5: they come back and they say the January sixth is 785 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 5: not an official proceeding as there it leads to fifteen twelve, 786 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,879 Speaker 5: then I don't see how jack Smith continues to keep 787 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 5: those two counts in his four account indictments. There are 788 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 5: other ways that Supreme Court could hedge and protect within 789 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 5: Jacksmith's indictment. You heard a little bit of Amy Cony 790 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 5: Barrett which made me nervous, sort of reiterating Jack Smith's 791 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 5: talking points that the electoral certificates represent a document or 792 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,919 Speaker 5: record in an official proceeding. So hopefully the Court will 793 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 5: come back with a strong resolution to that as well. 794 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,960 Speaker 5: But you know this will be also I should have 795 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,560 Speaker 5: had it Special Council Jacksmith and his team of the 796 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 5: Black Eye to him as well for bringing such a vague, 797 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 5: untested statute and a presidential criminal indictment against Donald Trump. 798 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,720 Speaker 3: Julie Kelly declassified on substack.

Yes, are you going to tell 837 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 2: Governor Kemp while you're in his home state your theory 838 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,720 Speaker 2: about how maybe dark Horse Trump VP, you know, maybe 839 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 2: maybe out of nowhere all of a sudden. 840 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,359 Speaker 3: I think Trump is gonna win. I just want to see. 841 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 3: I want to know what his face is when you 842 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 3: tell him what. 843 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 2: I think Trump is gonna win Georgia by eight points. 844 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:24,839 Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna be close. I think it's 845 00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 3: gonna be like I'm putting it on. I'm putting it 846 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:27,439 Speaker 3: on the prediction. 847 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 2: The projection eight points, I think seven or eight points. 848 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,239 Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a very comfortable win 849 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 2: in Georgia. Of all the states, if you had to 850 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 2: ask me, which state is most likely to flip from 851 00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,520 Speaker 2: twenty twenty, either in favor of Democrats or in favor 852 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:44,439 Speaker 2: of Republicans. 853 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 4: I think Georgia is going to be back in red camp. 854 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 4: And I actually think you're gonna start to see Biden 855 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 4: spending less time and money in Georgia because the numbers 856 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 4: out there are really bad for them. 857 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:57,800 Speaker 3: In Georgia. 858 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 4: The most recent poll has Trump up to in Georgia. 859 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 4: There is no Senate race. There is no governor's race. 860 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 2: There's nothing to motivate in state voters for Democrats in 861 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 2: any kind of substantial way. 862 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:14,440 Speaker 3: And you'll recall in twenty twenty. 863 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 2: Two, basically every statewide candidate except Hershelwalker won by seven 864 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 2: or eight points. 865 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 3: So it wasn't just that they won. 866 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 2: It was despite the fact that Stacy Abrams, I believe, 867 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 2: outspent Brian Kemp and they had a close race in 868 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. He trounced her in twenty twenty two. So 869 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,319 Speaker 2: I appreciate the atl for taking care of me. I'm 870 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,320 Speaker 2: going to be down here again in June to watch 871 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves with my kids. 872 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 3: I can't wait it. We wait for it. 873 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 2: We got a great affiliate again, News Talk Extra one 874 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 2: oh six point three FM. We appreciate all of you 875 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,240 Speaker 2: out there listening in Atlanta and then Buck I'm headed 876 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 2: to Seattle, which is crazy town. I'm going to be 877 00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 2: speaking at a Hillsdale College event that they are doing 878 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,319 Speaker 2: in s So I'm gonna get on I don't know, 879 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 2: a midnight flight basically and fly all the way to 880 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 2: the West coast, and I'll be doing the show Wednesday 881 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,520 Speaker 2: and Thursday, from there. So anyway, we'll see how how 882 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 2: I do in crazy town. I haven't been to Seattle 883 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 2: since everything fell apart with Chaz, remember that, like the 884 00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:24,440 Speaker 2: Autonomous region and everything. I mean, even for twenty twenty 885 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 2: standards of crazy, people looked at Seattle, Portland, and San 886 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 2: Francisco and said, you guys are crazy. The standard for 887 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 2: crazy was high, Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco all exceeded 888 00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 2: it by massive amounts. So we'll see what it looks like. 889 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 2: I haven't been to the city since. Like I said, 890 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 2: I think I was like twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen that 891 00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,279 Speaker 2: I was in Seattle, beautiful place, filled with a lot 892 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,600 Speaker 2: of crazy leftists. So we'll see how I do there. 893 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 2: But two major legal issues that are unfolding. You just 894 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 2: heard us talk with Julie Kelly, the analysis of whether 895 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 2: the Jan six political persecutions, because I do think persecution 896 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,560 Speaker 2: and prosecution are intertwined in many ways here, are permissible 897 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:11,200 Speaker 2: or not under the Sarbines Oxley obstruction of an official 898 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,240 Speaker 2: preceding standard. It seems likely that many of those convictions 899 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 2: are going to get struck down. Maybe it'll be five 900 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,319 Speaker 2: to four, maybe it'll be six to three. Maybe even 901 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 2: get a liberal to come on, but that would come 902 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 2: out in June would be a huge story because it 903 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:28,719 Speaker 2: implicates half of Jack Smith's case in Washington, DC. It 904 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 2: would also be a huge story, as you just heard 905 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:35,720 Speaker 2: us talking, because for years leftists have been saying, oh, 906 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:41,359 Speaker 2: these Jan six insurrection cases, they're one hundred percent legally permissible, 907 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 2: They're necessary, we have to hold everybody accountable. What you're 908 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 2: probably likely to hear is that there was major prosecutorial overreach. Simultaneously, 909 00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,800 Speaker 2: they are trying to hold Trump in contempt of court 910 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,480 Speaker 2: in New York City, where day two of his criminal 911 00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 2: trial in the Alvin Bragg cases underway. And what we 912 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 2: have been talking about, I think fairly on this show, 913 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,800 Speaker 2: Buck since August of twenty two, when Lamar A Lago 914 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 2: Ray basically kicked into high gear. The way that Merrick 915 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,879 Speaker 2: Garland and the Department of Justice we're going to all 916 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,239 Speaker 2: come after Donald Trump. How is this playing in the 917 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 2: larger political arena? What would happen if Trump got arrested? 918 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,000 Speaker 2: How would they even handle it? These are things that 919 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 2: are truly unprecedented that we are continuing to break down. 920 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think anybody who tells you they know where 921 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 4: all this is going is making that up. It's not possible. 922 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:39,840 Speaker 4: Did you want to get to the Stephen A. Smith Clay, Yeah. 923 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,320 Speaker 2: I want to play this because I would argue that 924 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 2: Stephen A. Smith very middle of the road guy. He's 925 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 2: not a politically from ESPN. He's going to come on 926 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:50,839 Speaker 2: the show. We're going to get him on somewhat soon. 927 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,680 Speaker 2: He's being more outspoken on a variety of different areas. 928 00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 2: I've done his podcast a couple of times. We had 929 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 2: interesting conversations, but he had this to say yesterday. 930 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,400 Speaker 3: We've talked a lot about black. 931 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,360 Speaker 4: Men and the possibility that if you look at the 932 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,439 Speaker 4: polling from Wall Street Journal, maybe thirty percent of black 933 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:10,160 Speaker 4: men are willing to support Trump. Here is here's what 934 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 4: Stephen A. Smith had to say about the cases in 935 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,439 Speaker 4: his hometown of New York City. 936 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 8: To my liberal friends out there, all you're doing is 937 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,400 Speaker 8: showing that you're scared. You can't beat them on the 938 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:25,719 Speaker 8: issues and the merits. That's why he keeps saying it's 939 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 8: a political campaign against me. That's why he keeps saying 940 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,520 Speaker 8: they can't beat me at the election at the polls. 941 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 8: This is the only way they could do it. And 942 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,720 Speaker 8: if you don't put him in jail, and he still 943 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 8: goes from being the presumptive GOP nominee to the official 944 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,359 Speaker 8: GOP nominee, and he goes to the polls even though 945 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 8: he was going to whine about winning and being rigged again. 946 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:52,919 Speaker 8: You have given more fodder to that argument, which means 947 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,719 Speaker 8: we'll never have peace in this country because tens of 948 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:56,439 Speaker 8: millions of. 949 00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,040 Speaker 3: People see what extent the other. 950 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,520 Speaker 8: Is willing to go through just to keep him out 951 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,520 Speaker 8: of office because they can't beat him on their own merits. 952 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,520 Speaker 4: I do think this is a fundamental point. I mean, 953 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,280 Speaker 4: this is a central point of everything that we're talking 954 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:16,279 Speaker 4: about here. If what Trump did is so bad, and 955 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,960 Speaker 4: if it's so clear he's so awful, why is he 956 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 4: ahead in the polls and why are they so scared 957 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 4: of what's going to happen in the fall. And they 958 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 4: don't have an answer for that, and they won't process it, 959 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 4: they won't think it through. But I think stephen A 960 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,839 Speaker 4: hits right into the center of it. It's something we've 961 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 4: discussed here many times. The best way for there to 962 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,839 Speaker 4: be a referendum on Trump's behavior, whether just talking about 963 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 4: his four years as president or what you think about 964 00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 4: whether that should change because of January sixth. This is 965 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,320 Speaker 4: ultimately the most clear political question right This is about 966 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 4: who should lead the nation according to the vote of 967 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 4: the American people. Let the people have their say. All 968 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,320 Speaker 4: these efforts that they have are to either stop Trump 969 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 4: entirely now and look, he's clearly the nominate. It's not 970 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:07,520 Speaker 4: about just having him win the primary anymore, if it 971 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 4: ever was, it's to stop him from being able to 972 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 4: run entirely or now. I think this is what they've 973 00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:20,000 Speaker 4: shifted gears toward. Just make it so it's really hard 974 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,640 Speaker 4: for him to win as he's running, but not based 975 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,040 Speaker 4: upon what people want, based upon the fact that they 976 00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,800 Speaker 4: are rigging the system. I mean, this is they're rigging 977 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,600 Speaker 4: the election. Even if Trump wins, it will be an 978 00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,319 Speaker 4: election that is rigged against him, just based upon these 979 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 4: legal challenges. And they can't come up with an answer. 980 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,880 Speaker 4: If Trump is so bad, why are you terrified that 981 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,120 Speaker 4: the American people are going to vote for him over 982 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,720 Speaker 4: Joe Biden? Like, what is the response to that after 983 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 4: four years of Trump and four years of Biden? Americans 984 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 4: of voting age are likely to say, based on what 985 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 4: we see right now, yeah, I want Trump to be 986 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:56,279 Speaker 4: president again. 987 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,719 Speaker 2: It's not even just that, too, Buck, It's that their 988 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,600 Speaker 2: only even willing by and large to bring charges in 989 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,920 Speaker 2: juries that are rigged in their favor, that is, political 990 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 2: locales that overwhelmingly favored Democrats. So that's why I think 991 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 2: one of the most difficult and I think Stephen a 992 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,280 Speaker 2: hit on it. We've been hitting on this quite a lot. 993 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 2: That's why I think one of the most difficult questions 994 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,440 Speaker 2: to answer is not only why are you trying to 995 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 2: keep him from running? Why are you trying to put 996 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 2: him in prison? It's also why are you doing these charges? 997 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:33,080 Speaker 2: Why are you bringing them entirely in a in a 998 00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 2: jury rig to a large extent process, Because I'm not 999 00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 2: we said this earlier. If you told me, hey, it's 1000 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,080 Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty America, which I think it's fair 1001 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:45,399 Speaker 2: to say that roughly, it is like everybody out there 1002 00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 2: listening would have to agree. If you told me that 1003 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 2: they were going to try to bring charges against Trump 1004 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 2: to put him in prison for the rest of his life, 1005 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 2: I would still think it's an awful precedent to set 1006 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,760 Speaker 2: in the United States, because sooner or later, somebody else 1007 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,359 Speaker 2: will also have the same result that Trump has. Now 1008 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,280 Speaker 2: somebody else is going to get charged as a method 1009 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 2: of lawfare. But at least if you allowed the jury 1010 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,840 Speaker 2: to be in a jurisdiction that's fifty to fifty, I 1011 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,799 Speaker 2: would say, okay, like, let's see how it actually plays out. 1012 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,879 Speaker 2: Which is why South Florida. I'm not that nervous about 1013 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,200 Speaker 2: South Florida. I don't think that there will be a 1014 00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,360 Speaker 2: jury that is overwhelmingly made up of Trump haters. I 1015 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 2: think there's going to be a jury in New York 1016 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 2: City that, just based on the numbers, is likely to 1017 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 2: be made up of Trump haters. And I think I 1018 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:35,040 Speaker 2: don't think it's crazy to think that there are going 1019 00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,480 Speaker 2: to be people that want to see Trump put in 1020 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 2: prison for the rest of his life that are a 1021 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,239 Speaker 2: part of this jury pool. Now, maybe some of them 1022 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 2: will say, hey, you know what, I can't fairly and 1023 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,399 Speaker 2: impartially render justice. 1024 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 3: We already saw that happen a little bit. They'll step out. 1025 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,120 Speaker 2: I think there's other people that will be happy to 1026 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,799 Speaker 2: be on this jury because they want to hold Trump responsible. 1027 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 3: They want to be the deciders. And I look at 1028 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 3: this and I say. 1029 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,840 Speaker 4: Fundamentally, we can have one hundred and fifty million people 1030 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,840 Speaker 4: render a verdict on Trump's behavior, on Trump's whether or 1031 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 4: not he's able to be president, or we can have 1032 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 4: twelve in a incredibly biased jurisdiction. And to me, the 1033 00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:19,640 Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty million is the answer no matter 1034 00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,760 Speaker 4: how much you trust juris do you want twelve people 1035 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:24,200 Speaker 4: trying to decide who can be president? 1036 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:26,440 Speaker 3: Or do you want one hundred and fifty million? It 1037 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,719 Speaker 3: does go to the ultimate point. 1038 00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:30,960 Speaker 4: I think about the mental instability of many of the 1039 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,200 Speaker 4: Democrats that are pushing for this, or the the emotional 1040 00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 4: and ideological surrender that they've had. Right, they just whatever 1041 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:42,799 Speaker 4: the anti trump Ism demands, they will go. For the 1042 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:47,840 Speaker 4: fact that Alvin Bragg has turned that one preposterous charge, 1043 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,360 Speaker 4: it's worth everybody knowing or keeping this in mind. I 1044 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,680 Speaker 4: think it's thirty four right, It's a thirty four felony 1045 00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 4: count indictment. It was one thing we're talking about, and 1046 00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 4: he's charging it thirty four time, which is specifically against 1047 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 4: prosecutorial guidelines. You're not supposed to. You know, if someone 1048 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,600 Speaker 4: hands you drugs and then you say, hold on time 1049 00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,440 Speaker 4: my shoe, and you hand it back to them, and 1050 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,359 Speaker 4: then they hand the drugs back to you. You know, 1051 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 4: you don't charge these as separate drug possession crimes, right, 1052 00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,840 Speaker 4: You're not supposed to do that because it's obviously unjust. 1053 00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 4: That's exactly what Alvin Bragg is doing. He's saying, oh, well, 1054 00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,720 Speaker 4: they like xerox did or they emailed it or whatever 1055 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 4: that every time, we're going to charge that as an 1056 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 4: additional felony. And you have to wonder that any Democrat 1057 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,759 Speaker 4: who supports the prosecution going on in New York City 1058 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,879 Speaker 4: is also telling you that in America today, it would 1059 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,400 Speaker 4: be more just not preferable for you know what you 1060 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:40,399 Speaker 4: think the politics of the country should be. It would 1061 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 4: be more just for Donald Trump to be in prison 1062 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,600 Speaker 4: for years and not be able to run, although I 1063 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 4: think he would still run from prison. That's a whole 1064 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,759 Speaker 4: other conversation. That's insane. But it'd be more just for 1065 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 4: Donald Trump to sit in a prison cell over a 1066 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:58,919 Speaker 4: clerical error, over a Stormy Daniel's payoff or whatever hush 1067 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,480 Speaker 4: money or whatever they're calling it. Then it would just 1068 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,400 Speaker 4: allow the American people to say, do I or do 1069 00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,600 Speaker 4: I not want Donald Trump to be president for four 1070 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:07,120 Speaker 4: more years? 1071 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:07,840 Speaker 3: That's it. 1072 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 4: That's insane. I mean, this is this is the decision 1073 00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 4: that we're being faced with as a country, or rather 1074 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 4: the decision they want to deny us as a country 1075 00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,640 Speaker 4: based upon what exactly and the moment you dig into 1076 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:23,840 Speaker 4: a clay. It's all just so flimsy and underhanded. 1077 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:26,640 Speaker 3: It's one hundred percent what it is. 1078 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 2: And I wonder how many people that are in general 1079 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 2: not paying that much attention or ultimately coming to that 1080 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 2: same conclusion. If the guy's so bad, how come they 1081 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:39,120 Speaker 2: can't just let everybody go vote, Let the American people 1082 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 2: decide whether Trump is able to or not able to 1083 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,640 Speaker 2: be the next president of the United States. That's how 1084 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 2: democracy works. Yeah, eight hundred two two two eight to two. 1085 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,000 Speaker 2: We'll get some of your calls on this issue coming 1086 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 2: up on the back half of this hour. You know, look, 1087 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 2: people think mortgage rates are extremely high, and look, they 1088 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 2: are higher than they were just a few years ago. 1089 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 2: And we know who's just responsible for inflation of the 1090 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 2: past three years time and the rise and interest rates 1091 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,600 Speaker 2: as they've tried to combat that that they created. But 1092 00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 2: by comparison, when you put mortgage rates side by side 1093 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 2: with credit card interest rates, I mean, mortgage rates are 1094 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 2: far lower. Mortgage rates are much lower than the average 1095 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,440 Speaker 2: credit card rate, which is about twenty two percent. So look, 1096 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 2: if you're a homeowner, refinancing with American Financing can help 1097 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,360 Speaker 2: you pay off that credit card debt and lower your 1098 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 2: monthly expenses, and the mortgage interest is tax deductible.
