Speaker 1: There's a major issue in the Senate with gay marriage,
Speaker 1: and Republicans seem to be running to the wrong side
Speaker 1: of the issue. Plus we also have problems at the
Speaker 1: DOJ and now finally the President is starting to feel
Speaker 1: some heat on a new investigation. And lastly, there's some
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency issues with corruption with a Democratic party. This is
Speaker 1: Verdict was Senator Ted Cruz. Senator A lot has happened
Speaker 1: since election day. Nice to sit with you finally after
Speaker 1: a week of you barnstorming the country, and I want
Speaker 1: to get into something that's exciting. Verdict has really been
Speaker 1: driving the news. There's an extremely important issue that's happening
Speaker 1: in washing DC right now on the issue of gay marriage.
Speaker 1: They actually led with your comments from this podcast on
Speaker 1: Fox News Sunday, and I want people to take a
Speaker 1: listen to what it is that you had to say
Speaker 1: and why this is driving the news. Take a look
Speaker 1: about the same sex marriage Bill, the Respect for Marriage Act,
Speaker 1: that essentially has gone through this first vote in the Senate.
Speaker 1: It will have more action down the line, but it
Speaker 1: essentially ensures that all fifty states will recognize same sex
Speaker 1: marriages from other states. Conservatives are warning though, that the
Speaker 1: Biden administration could end up using this as a weapon.
Speaker 1: Here's something that Senator Ted Cruz said on his podcast
Speaker 1: about it this week. Any charity that believes marriage is
Speaker 1: the union of one man and one woman, any charity
Speaker 1: that does not embrace same sex marriage, this bill is
Speaker 1: designed to strip their five oh one C three status,
Speaker 1: to persecute the churches and universities and schools and charities.
Speaker 1: So Senator Mike Lee has, first of all, let's let's
Speaker 1: make one thing clear. Okay, one more time, Ted Cruz
Speaker 1: is one role. Okay, let's find out on that statement
Speaker 1: you would not see in one of the things that
Speaker 1: they gained twelve Republican votes. And I think more on
Speaker 1: final passage is there were greater protections from religious freedom
Speaker 1: put in. And so you see the Mormon Church, you
Speaker 1: see a number of mainstream Protestant denominations, you see a
Speaker 1: series of other faith organizations actually support this marriage equality law.
Speaker 1: And this remember this marriage equality law. It's not only
Speaker 1: about same sex marriage, but it also validates something that
Speaker 1: literally sixty years ago and my state of Virginia was illegal,
Speaker 1: which was interracial marriage. I think this is where the
Speaker 1: vast majority of Americans are at I think you will
Speaker 1: see the numbers even go up in the Senate as
Speaker 1: we get to the final passage. We saw forty seven
Speaker 1: House members, mister Cruz one more time saying stuff that
Speaker 1: has no basis in truth. The fact that's just okay,
Speaker 1: you do critically how we roll. So hold it there,
Speaker 1: all right. So if you look at that segment, I
Speaker 1: gotta say, Mark Warner, he really typifies the Democrats because
Speaker 1: he calls me a liar while not responding to one
Speaker 1: word of the substance of what I said. And that
Speaker 1: really is the Democrat m O. Listen this bill. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about what this bill does accomplish and what it
Speaker 1: doesn't accomplish. The Democrats are pitching this as a bill
Speaker 1: to protect the right to same sex marriage and to
Speaker 1: protect the right to interracial marriage. Well, both of those
Speaker 1: are protected right now by existing law. The US Supreme
Speaker 1: Court has held that gay marriage is a right, and
Speaker 1: it held many decades ago that an interracial marriage is
Speaker 1: a right that ain't changing. And it's important to note
Speaker 1: the Democrats pitch this entire bill based on a false premise,
Speaker 1: which is they suggested there's some chance the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: might revisit the gay marriage ruling. Well, the majority opinion
Speaker 1: in Dabbs, the decision overturning ro versus Wade, said not once,
Speaker 1: not twice, but three times they were not going to
Speaker 1: revisit that decision. In fact, the third time, Justice Alito,
Speaker 1: writing for the majority, said, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: say this anymore. Clearly, we are not going back to
Speaker 1: that decision. So all of this, this bill is based
Speaker 1: on a lie, which is a bunch of Democrats and
Speaker 1: a bunch of folks in the media scaremongering that the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court's going to overturn a decision that they told
Speaker 1: us three times they're not going to overturn a political
Speaker 1: cover for them. It is purely political cover, and it's
Speaker 1: based on Justice Thomas wrote a concurrence that was examining
Speaker 1: the legal basis for roversus. Wade, which is a legal
Speaker 1: doctrine called substitive due process, and he pointed out that
Speaker 1: it had been the legal basis for other decisions like
Speaker 1: the gay marriage decision. But no other justice joined Clarence
Speaker 1: Thomas in that concurrence. So, unless you believe that Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is going to nominate and the Senate is going
Speaker 1: to confirm four new justices to the Court who are
Speaker 1: to the right of Clarence Thomas. The chances of the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court overturning that decision are zero point zero percent.
Speaker 1: And Mark Warner knows that. Every Democrat knows that. But
Speaker 1: this is scaremongering. So you say, Okay, if the Court's
Speaker 1: not going to overturn it, what harm does that this build? Well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you this bill does considerable harm, because
Speaker 1: you know what this fight really is about. It is
Speaker 1: about the Biden administration being able to persecute people of faith,
Speaker 1: being able to persecute churches K through twelve schools, universities,
Speaker 1: and charities that specifically they're a religious basin Christian, Christian,
Speaker 1: or for that matter, Jewish, or for that matter, Muslim,
Speaker 1: any religious organization that believes marriage is the union one
Speaker 1: man and one woman, so whatever it might be. And
Speaker 1: let me point out this is not a hypothetical threat.
Speaker 1: I want to read to you from the transcript at
Speaker 1: the Berghofel oral argument, which was the gay marriage oral argument,
Speaker 1: where the Solicitor General Don Varelli he was in the
Speaker 1: Obama Justice Department, and Justice Alito asked whether the next
Speaker 1: step would be for universities opposed to same sex marriage
Speaker 1: to lose their tax exempt status. So this is in
Speaker 1: the oral argument. And here's what General really replies, quote,
Speaker 1: it's certainly going to be an issue. I don't deny that.
Speaker 1: I don't deny that. Justice Alito, it's going to be
Speaker 1: an issue. That's what the Obama DOJ said. And this
Speaker 1: bill is all about teeing up the Obama or rather
Speaker 1: the Biden IRS to target Christian university, Christian schools, churches,
Speaker 1: and charities. And by the way, this is also not hypothetical.
Speaker 1: The City of Philadelphia went after and targeted Catholic charities
Speaker 1: and said they're not allowed to engage in adoptions because
Speaker 1: Catholic charities in Philadelphia won't provide an adoption for a
Speaker 1: same sex couple. Now, to be clear, same sex couples
Speaker 1: can adopt kids in Philadelphia. There are lots of adoption
Speaker 1: agencies they can use. But the City of Philadelphia said, well,
Speaker 1: if Catholic charities won't participate, out of the business. This
Speaker 1: bill is all about setting up the IRS to start
Speaker 1: stripping tax exempt status from organizations they hate. Senator I
Speaker 1: want to go into the media and how they're covering this,
Speaker 1: but Before we get to that, I want to tell
Speaker 1: everybody about our amazing sponsor, Patriot Mobile. If you've got
Speaker 1: a cell phone, and nine percent of Americans do, how
Speaker 1: would you like to know that with every phone call
Speaker 1: you make, you're supporting conservative causes. Well that's what Patriot
Speaker 1: Mobile does. And they use the same cell towers that
Speaker 1: you're on right now, meaning you get the same exact
Speaker 1: coverage that you're getting right now. Patriot Mobile is America's
Speaker 1: only Christian conservative mobile phone provider. They are a force
Speaker 1: for conservative values. Why because they take a portion of
Speaker 1: every bill that you pay and they find conservative causes,
Speaker 1: candidates and organizations that believe in the sanctity of life,
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment, and they're winning.
Speaker 1: If you're ready to have your dollars matter when you're
Speaker 1: paying a bill, switch to Patriot Mobile. They can save
Speaker 1: you money over what you're paying right now. They can
Speaker 1: save you and your family money, and they even can
Speaker 1: save your business or small business money because they have
Speaker 1: an entire section of the business that's just dedicated to businesses.
Speaker 1: They offer the same nation wide coverage as all the
Speaker 1: other major carriers, but the difference is you actually get
Speaker 1: to stand up for what you believe in every time
Speaker 1: you pay that bill. So go online to Patriot Mobile
Speaker 1: dot com slash verdict. Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict.
Speaker 1: You'll get free activation and other major offers and you
Speaker 1: can call them nine seven to Patriot. That's nine seven
Speaker 1: to Patriot use the promo code Verdict. Now let's let's
Speaker 1: play out. Let's continue this because the discussion goes on
Speaker 1: and everything Mark Warner says about it is wrong. So
Speaker 1: let's hear what he has to say. It's nerd. Miikely
Speaker 1: is among those who say they are sort of toothless
Speaker 1: protections in there for religious minorities, and not minorities, but
Speaker 1: people who hold of whatever faith they are. His conviction
Speaker 1: about traditional marriage is his wording. He's offered this amendment.
Speaker 1: I've got it here in my hand, he says, it's
Speaker 1: done in good faith. It will offer further protection to
Speaker 1: people in religious organizations. Why not allow a vote on
Speaker 1: the amendment if that is truly an issue and it
Speaker 1: may get you more votes, but more protections for those
Speaker 1: whoever religious. I would first of all point out the fact,
Speaker 1: you know, I believe Mike Lee is a member of
Speaker 1: the Mormon Church. Organization, his church, but he's still got
Speaker 1: his church endorsed the legislation. My understanding, and I have
Speaker 1: not followed all of the ins and outs of what
Speaker 1: happened two nights ago. I believe there was an offer
Speaker 1: on a fifty vote margin for mister Lee to have
Speaker 1: that kind of amendment. I think this is a series
Speaker 1: of folks that just don't want this to happen, and
Speaker 1: they're going to throw up roadblock after roadblock after roadball.
Speaker 1: Would you let him have a vote on the amendment again,
Speaker 1: so I would call their fear. My understanding is that
Speaker 1: that vote was offered. Okay, My understand is they want
Speaker 1: to try to do it after Thanksgiving. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of most of them. If the vote was offered this week,
Speaker 1: which I believe it was, and I'm sure you your
Speaker 1: viewers will correct me if I'm wrong with but that
Speaker 1: was kind of the Yeah, talking with his office, they
Speaker 1: want to the subble after Thanksgiving, so other than simply
Speaker 1: trying to delay, Other than simply trying to burn off
Speaker 1: the clock so that we can't get to things like
Speaker 1: to get if he had a chance to have the
Speaker 1: vote on Thursday, why didn't he take the vote? Then? Okay,
Speaker 1: let's stop it right now. So there are several things
Speaker 1: in what he says. First of all, let me point
Speaker 1: out that Mark Warner. Look, most Democrats are eric and
Speaker 1: condescending and supercilious, but that nasty little jab that, well,
Speaker 1: Mike Lee's a member of the Mormon Church. The Mormon
Speaker 1: Church supports it. I mean, I mean going after Mike
Speaker 1: on his faith. That's disgusting. Yeah, it's Mark Warner ought
Speaker 1: to be embarrassed and ashamed. Now what happened here with
Speaker 1: the Mormon Church because actually goes on to repeat Mormon
Speaker 1: Church like nineteen times. Well, unfortunately, there is a senator
Speaker 1: who supports this bill from the state of Utah, whose
Speaker 1: name Mit Romney, who happens to have some real juice
Speaker 1: within the Mormon Church. He's kind of a big deal
Speaker 1: in Utah. And Mitt Romney has pulled out all the
Speaker 1: stops lobbying his church, and he convinced one senior figure
Speaker 1: in the church to put out a statement in favor
Speaker 1: of this bill. That senior figure, I'm sorry to say,
Speaker 1: got terrible legal advice. And if Mitt Romney weren't lobbying
Speaker 1: the heck out of it, I assume they wouldn't have
Speaker 1: done the statement, but Mitt was able to get it done. Now,
Speaker 1: what Shannon Breene there says is the provisions in the
Speaker 1: bill are toothless, and they are so what the bill is.
Speaker 1: The Democrats put into the bill language that says nothing
Speaker 1: in this bill Shelby construed to deny tax exempt status
Speaker 1: to any buddy. Now, this is I'm going to explain
Speaker 1: something to you, and this is why people hate lawyers.
Speaker 1: Nobody's suggesting the bill is going to deny tax exempt status.
Speaker 1: What's going to happen is after the bill passes, the
Speaker 1: Biden IRS is going to deny tax exempt status. And
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, you know what, it's not the bill
Speaker 1: doing it, it's us. We are doing it. And so
Speaker 1: Mike Lee as drafted an amendment. It's a strong amendment
Speaker 1: that prohibits the Biden i rs from stripping tax exempt
Speaker 1: status for any institution based on their views on marriage.
Speaker 1: That's what the Democrats are blocking. Now, this is an example,
Speaker 1: and this it's not controversial. What he's asking for is
Speaker 1: exactly what anyone would ask for in this scenario. They're
Speaker 1: just terrified that you would take away the power of
Speaker 1: the RS to then literally destroy conservative Christian religious organizations.
Speaker 1: This is an at tax religion. So it is controversial
Speaker 1: because today's Democrats hate religion liberty. They want to use
Speaker 1: the irs to go after religious institutions. Mike Lee's amendment
Speaker 1: would prevent them. Now, you just heard Mark Warner say
Speaker 1: several times we offered him a vote. And this is
Speaker 1: where actually verdict takes people inside the Senate in a way,
Speaker 1: it's really hard if you're not serving in the body
Speaker 1: to understand the games that are being played. It's true
Speaker 1: they did offer a vote, said we'll have a vote
Speaker 1: on the floor of the Senate a fifty vote threshold
Speaker 1: should mike Lee's amendment be adopted. Now, here's what will happen.
Speaker 1: If there's a vote on the Senate floor at a
Speaker 1: fifty vote threshold, the amendment will fail. Why will it fail?
Speaker 1: Every Democrat will vote no. They're fifty of them came
Speaker 1: over and there are also twelve Republicans who are supporting this.
Speaker 1: So at a fifty vote threshold. By the way, even
Speaker 1: if every Republican voted for Mike Lee's amendment, So let's
Speaker 1: assume best case, all the d's vote no, all the
Speaker 1: rs vote yes. Kamala Harris chose up cast the tie
Speaker 1: breaking vote no, and Mike's amendment fails. Now, what Marcus
Speaker 1: saying is, we'll give you your vote. You little children,
Speaker 1: now sit down and shut up and let us pass
Speaker 1: the bill. Well, in order for this bill to pass,
Speaker 1: there's one more vote that matters, which is the Monday
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving. The final vote is at a sixty vote threshold.
Speaker 1: They can't pass this bill without sixty senators voting yes. Now,
Speaker 1: as we discussed on the Friday podcast, twelve Republican Senators
Speaker 1: voted yes. Those twelve are Susan Collins of Maine, Rob
Speaker 1: Portman of Ohio, Tom Tillis of North Carolina, Met Romney
Speaker 1: of Utah who's leading the charge on this, Lisa Murkowski
Speaker 1: of Alaska, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina,
Speaker 1: Shelley Moore capital of West Virginia, sent the alumnus of Wyoming,
Speaker 1: Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Todd Young of Indiana, Jonie Ernst
Speaker 1: of Iowa. Those are the twelve. Now I'm going to
Speaker 1: set aside for a second that several of those are retiring.
Speaker 1: Rob Portman's retiring, Roy Blunt's retiring, Richard Burr's retiring, and
Speaker 1: I find it particularly noxious that retiring Republican senators run
Speaker 1: and embrace the left on the way out in a
Speaker 1: way they would be very unlikely to do so if
Speaker 1: they actually had to run freec Yeah, but you know what,
Speaker 1: this will be very popular on K Street when they're
Speaker 1: lobbyists and it's you want to see the swamp, This
Speaker 1: is the swamp. But there's another very simple point. If
Speaker 1: you want to prevent the Biden i rs from targeting
Speaker 1: and persecuting Christian churches, schools, universities, and charities, three of
Speaker 1: these twelve need to say to the Democrats either adopt
Speaker 1: Mike Lee's amendment or we will vote no on cloture
Speaker 1: on Monday. If three of the twelve grow one vertebrae
Speaker 1: of a spine. And this is where look my frustration
Speaker 1: with Republicans. This should not be a hard one. By
Speaker 1: the way, this should be a very simple three of
Speaker 1: the twelves shouldn't even be twelve to start with. It
Speaker 1: should be trivially simple. And it's the difference between a
Speaker 1: show vote, if we got the vote, Mark Warners saying
Speaker 1: we'll give you a vote, We'll give you a vote.
Speaker 1: That's because he knows they can win the vote. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. I was talking with one of the
Speaker 1: Democrat leads last week in the Cloak Crew, and that
Speaker 1: Senator was saying, well, the Democrats won't accept Mike Lee's amendment.
Speaker 1: They're just a hard no. Well, you know what, if
Speaker 1: you don't accept the amendment, the answer ought to be
Speaker 1: your bill won't pass. And that's our hard no. That's
Speaker 1: how the game should be played, except Republicans never play hardball.
Speaker 1: It's a game. It's a charade. Three of those twelve,
Speaker 1: you can see the twelve, any three of them could say,
Speaker 1: if you want to pass the bill, you must adopt
Speaker 1: Mike Lee's amendment. And by the way, the Democrats argue, oh,
Speaker 1: our bill already does exactly what Mike Lee's amendment does. Well,
Speaker 1: if that's the case, it ought to be easy to
Speaker 1: adopt Mike Lee's amendment. It doesn't. They are lying. And
Speaker 1: in fact, I'm gonna make a prediction for you right now.
Speaker 1: If the twelve Republicans decline to stand up to the
Speaker 1: Democrats and say I will vote no Enclosure unless Mike
Speaker 1: Lee's amendment is adopted. Not a fake vote, not a
Speaker 1: pretend show vote. It's adopted in the bill. If that
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, my prediction is in the next two years.
Speaker 1: So Shannon Bream is a graduate of Liberty University, largest
Speaker 1: Christian university in the country. I'm gonna make a prediction
Speaker 1: for you. I'm gonna bet you one hundred dollars that
Speaker 1: if the Republicans can't find a backbone that in the
Speaker 1: next two years, the Biden Irs will go after Liberty
Speaker 1: University to strip their tax exempt status. I believe that's
Speaker 1: what this fight is all about. And the Democrats are
Speaker 1: playing games, trying to hide from it, and they also
Speaker 1: see an opportunity here. You just mentioned it. You go
Speaker 1: back to the game. They understand that there's some centers
Speaker 1: that would traditionally say no to this who are retiring,
Speaker 1: and they can get them to say yes to it. Now.
Speaker 1: Part of it's the timing. It has to be the
Speaker 1: timing yes. And by the way, it's designed so that
Speaker 1: this key vote is the Monday after Thanksgiving. It's what's
Speaker 1: called the comeback vote. So it's scheduled for five thirty
Speaker 1: pm on Monday, So everyone flies in and you literally
Speaker 1: get off the airplane and come straight to vote. So
Speaker 1: there's no discussion among Republicans and what they're counting on. Look,
Speaker 1: I understand why these twelve Republicans voted for this. There's
Speaker 1: no doubt public views on gay marriage have changed, and
Speaker 1: there are now a significant percentage of Americans who support
Speaker 1: gay marriage. And those numbers have changed dramatically. Not too
Speaker 1: long ago, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton pretended they opposed
Speaker 1: gay marriage. So I mean, there's no doubt the public
Speaker 1: opinion has changed significantly. What I urged my colleagues, I said, listen,
Speaker 1: if you've decided, as a political matter, you want to
Speaker 1: say you support gay marriage, I got a suggestion for you.
Speaker 1: Type up a press release and send it out that
Speaker 1: says I, Senator so and so embrace gay marriage and
Speaker 1: think it's awesome, hunky dory, cool, that's all fine. You
Speaker 1: want to do a press release, knock yourself out, make
Speaker 1: your own political determinations on that. This is about empowering
Speaker 1: the Biden irs to persecute the people they believe that
Speaker 1: are their enemies. That it's not just the people they
Speaker 1: deny tax exempt status to these abusive thugs that Biden
Speaker 1: employees are going to go to one hundred different schools
Speaker 1: and universities and charities and demand change your position, abandon
Speaker 1: what you believe your faith teaches you must embrace gay marriage,
Speaker 1: or else will deny your tax exempt status. So they
Speaker 1: may only get and try to survive without that taxes
Speaker 1: status business. None of these universities or schools will be
Speaker 1: able to make it if they lose their taxes emptasks.
Speaker 1: Just like many of the churches in the country, if
Speaker 1: they lost their taxes EMP status, they would no longer
Speaker 1: be able to afford to even the property taxes of
Speaker 1: the church and where it is in their city. And
Speaker 1: it's not just TAXESEMP status, it's you're ineligible for any
Speaker 1: government benefits, You're ineligible for any government contracts. So what
Speaker 1: did the city of Philadelphia try to do? Catholic charities
Speaker 1: can't do adoptions now that got struck down in court,
Speaker 1: but this bill could change that. That's what makes this
Speaker 1: so dangerous. Look, you know, a university that refuses to
Speaker 1: knuckle under this administration could say no student can get
Speaker 1: a pell grant to go to your university. We're going
Speaker 1: to cut off. It's not just tax exempt status. We're
Speaker 1: going to use the muscle of the federal government to
Speaker 1: persecute you, And for the life of me, I don't
Speaker 1: understand why anyone, much less twelve Republicans would be part
Speaker 1: and parcel of empower the Biden Irs to persecute people
Speaker 1: of faith. Vertical listeners are very engaged. They like to
Speaker 1: get involved. What is the ask of listeners right now
Speaker 1: to what can they do to try to stop this?
Speaker 1: Is it to go at the only way center stuff?
Speaker 1: Is it to call your friends in these states and
Speaker 1: say call these senators and and specifically because I get
Speaker 1: this all the time and you do too, But people say,
Speaker 1: what am I asking for? Is it you're demanding the
Speaker 1: mic Le Amendment? That this is you must adopt that.
Speaker 1: The only way it gets stopped and it being the
Speaker 1: threat of the Biden Irs targeting and persecuting people of
Speaker 1: faith is if the mic Le Amendment is adopted. And
Speaker 1: so I believe all twelve of those Republicans should say
Speaker 1: we will vote no on cloture the sixty vote threshold YEP,
Speaker 1: unless the mic Lee Amendment is adopted. And by the way,
Speaker 1: all twelve of those Republicans say, oh, we want the
Speaker 1: religious liberty protection, so they that's what they're saying. So
Speaker 1: to make what they're saying true. We need three of
Speaker 1: those twelve to say I'm a non cloture unless the
Speaker 1: Micaly Amendment is adopted. You now know your marching orders.
Speaker 1: If you're a listener to verdict, this is exactly why
Speaker 1: we do the show. You need to get involved. Call
Speaker 1: your centers. You know what you're asking for their especially
Speaker 1: if you have family and friends in these states, you
Speaker 1: need to let them know and tell them this is
Speaker 1: what we have to do, and it has to be
Speaker 1: done very quickly because this is going to happen right
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving. It's going to happen a week from today.
Speaker 1: It will be the Monday after Thanksgiving at five thirty pm.
Speaker 1: By six pm, they will either have sixty votes or
Speaker 1: they won't. And this is what they think of the
Speaker 1: American people. I want to be clear on purpose, because
Speaker 1: they think you're not paying attention. They're hoping you're not
Speaker 1: paying attention, and they're right. A lot of people take
Speaker 1: your week off, a lot of people spend time with
Speaker 1: their family. You're going to see your family. My family's
Speaker 1: come to see me. Everybody operates pretty much in that
Speaker 1: same world. You take a few days off, you hang
Speaker 1: out with your family, you make memories, and you usually
Speaker 1: are disconnected from what's happening politically. That's why they make
Speaker 1: the first vote five thirty, when you come back from
Speaker 1: the day after Thanksgiving. Well, and sometimes those votes are
Speaker 1: non consequential, sometimes it's a non controversial district judge or something.
Speaker 1: But the decision to put this vote on the comeback vote,
Speaker 1: they don't want the twelve Republicans to feel any heat.
Speaker 1: And so the calculus, if you're a Republican doing this,
Speaker 1: you'll get praise from the donor world. The people who
Speaker 1: write checks, they love this vote. They want you to
Speaker 1: go hard left. They're perfectly fine. Most of the donor
Speaker 1: world is perfectly fine with Republicans screwing people of faith.
Speaker 1: It's the activists in the base that, you know, wonder
Speaker 1: of wonders, actually care about protecting our religious liberty, and
Speaker 1: we'll hold people to account. And what Chuck Schumer is
Speaker 1: counting on is that most of the activists in the
Speaker 1: base are going to be eating turkey and stuffing, which
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward eating turkey and stuffing, sure, but not
Speaker 1: actually engage in the fight till it's a done deal
Speaker 1: and it's all over. It is not all over. And
Speaker 1: three of those twelve Republican Senators could insist Mike Lee's
Speaker 1: amendment was adopted, and if that would happen, the Biden
Speaker 1: i rs would not be able to persecute people of faith. Senator.
Speaker 1: One of the most exciting things about Verdict and growing
Speaker 1: going to three days a week. A lot of people
Speaker 1: that actually watched the podcast once a week they watch it.
Speaker 1: They may not realize you can get this podcast two
Speaker 1: audio shows on top of that, we did breaking news
Speaker 1: for example, this weekend, we did a special podcast talking
Speaker 1: about what had happened with them decide to have a
Speaker 1: special prosecutor going after Donald Trump. But the numbers have
Speaker 1: been growing and people are using this podcast to inform
Speaker 1: their friends, but also to drive the news that we
Speaker 1: just talked about on Fox News Sunday. And that's why
Speaker 1: you wanted to do this in the first place. And
Speaker 1: it's actually happening, which I love. Yeah. Look, this podcast
Speaker 1: d drives news in a way that very few of
Speaker 1: any podcasts do. We've been at this point multiple times.
Speaker 1: The White House Press Secretary has had to respond to
Speaker 1: Verdict from the podium in the White House Press briefing.
Speaker 1: You can see the Sunday shows are being driven by
Speaker 1: by this podcast. And one of the reason is the numbers,
Speaker 1: and the numbers are remarkable. So let's take last week.
Speaker 1: Last week, we had between seven hundred thousand and eight
Speaker 1: hundred thousand downloads, that's just last week. How does that
Speaker 1: compare to TV News, Well, CNN averages for the total
Speaker 1: day six hundred and fifty eight thousand, So we're beating CNN.
Speaker 1: They're average in any given day. How about primetime, Well,
Speaker 1: CNN's primetime averages six hundred and fifty five thousand. What
Speaker 1: about particular shows? Wolf Blitzer, wolf Blitzer is six PM
Speaker 1: show averages seven hundred and fifty thousand, So so we're
Speaker 1: right there with Wolf, Aaron Burnett seven hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: eight thousand, We're right there with Aaron Anderson Cooper eight
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine thousand, Right, congratulations Anderson, you're about
Speaker 1: twenty nine thousand above where it were last week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that dynamic is is very simple. When we are regularly,
Speaker 1: week after week after week beating CNN across their lineup,
Speaker 1: across their prime time lineup, that is a testament to
Speaker 1: our listeners, to our viewers, and it's why I think
Speaker 1: the reason is this podcast has content you can't get
Speaker 1: anywhere else. Yeah, you can't understand. Look you look at
Speaker 1: that segment where Mark Warner is spinning like crazy and
Speaker 1: is dissembling, and he just says, anyone who disagrees is lying.
Speaker 1: Now note he doesn't actually discuss the language of the statute,
Speaker 1: He doesn't discuss the micly amendment. He just screams when
Speaker 1: we convinced his church's support it sohaha to understand. And
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, someone thinking, well, they offered
Speaker 1: a vote, I don't understand what's wrong with that. This
Speaker 1: show explains what the games are that are being played
Speaker 1: by the corrupt players in Washington. We've made it easy.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that come to me and
Speaker 1: have said, hey, I watched the show, How do I
Speaker 1: get the other two? How do I download a podcast?
Speaker 1: The easiest way that you can get the podcasts, and
Speaker 1: we've tried to make it easies, you can actually just
Speaker 1: text the word verdict to two four zero zero five.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure everybody has that. So if
Speaker 1: you only watch the podcasts and you want to get
Speaker 1: those two other audio versions, you just text the word
Speaker 1: verdict to two four zero zero five. We will send
Speaker 1: you a link. The podcast is free, doesn't cost you
Speaker 1: a dime. You can subscribe to it, get it three
Speaker 1: times a week, and I've had a lot of people
Speaker 1: come going, how do I get the other ones? That's
Speaker 1: how easy we've tried to make it for people to
Speaker 1: be able to grab it. I want to get also
Speaker 1: into There were some very interesting dynamics this week that
Speaker 1: have changed in Washington. Democrats are terrified Republicans taking over
Speaker 1: the House. We've talked about that a little bit last week,
Speaker 1: but now what we've seen is now they're going for revenge.
Speaker 1: They're going for the jugular, They're going after Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: They're afraid that we're going to expose the FBI and
Speaker 1: expose the DJ for their corruption. Now I want to
Speaker 1: go to Jim or because he made an accusation this
Speaker 1: week about the FBI, the DJ just saying, can you
Speaker 1: guys stay out of our elections? And I want you
Speaker 1: to watch us and then get your reaction, because I
Speaker 1: think he's on to a point now that he realizes
Speaker 1: that they are actively trying to interfere in our elections
Speaker 1: every single time there is an election. Undoubtedly, the FBI
Speaker 1: going to quit interfering with elections. Twenty sixteen, they spied
Speaker 1: on President Trump's campaign, twenty eighteen, it was the Muller investigation.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty, They suppressed information about the Hunter Biden story.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two, they rated the president's home ninety one
Speaker 1: days before an election. Maybe it'd be nice if the FBI,
Speaker 1: the Justice Department just stayed out of it. Let we
Speaker 1: the people decide who we think should represent us, who
Speaker 1: we think should lead us. That's supposed to be how
Speaker 1: America works. So this is the focus on the Judiciary Committee,
Speaker 1: the political nature at the Justice Department, and the linkage
Speaker 1: now to what was happening with the Hunter Biden's story. Again,
Speaker 1: just fifteen days before we have presidential elections. You know,
Speaker 1: you look at the president, he announces form President Trump,
Speaker 1: he's going to run, and they immediately say, okay, watch this,
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a special prosecutor. We still do not
Speaker 1: have a special prosecutor for all of the crimes that
Speaker 1: have been laid out. James Comber made it very clear
Speaker 1: this week he's accusing now Joe Biden of committing major crimes.
Speaker 1: And you have now this dynamic where the DJ and
Speaker 1: the FBI are saying you don't screw with us, you
Speaker 1: don't call us out, We'll come after you, will come
Speaker 1: raid your house. We don't care if you're a former
Speaker 1: president or not. You don't ever call us out at
Speaker 1: the top leadership. Well, look what Jim Jordan is saying
Speaker 1: there is exactly right. And as you know, it's the
Speaker 1: topic of my brand new book, Justice Corrupted, How the
Speaker 1: Left is weaponized the legal system. Barack Obama did this.
Speaker 1: He turned the Department of Justice and the FBI into
Speaker 1: his partisan enforcers, and he appointed people. He appointed Attorneys
Speaker 1: General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch who were perfectly happy
Speaker 1: to be brazenly political, and the FBI. They now use
Speaker 1: the FBI as their stormtroopers. I got to tell you,
Speaker 1: by the way, Ben, I hear all the time. This
Speaker 1: past week, I heard from an FBI agent who pulled
Speaker 1: me aside and said, look, there are so many of us,
Speaker 1: so many agents who are so upset about what's happening
Speaker 1: to the FBI that it's being turned political, and were horrified.
Speaker 1: But this agent also told me they were afraid to
Speaker 1: speak out. They didn't want to lose their job. And
Speaker 1: they said, look, I feel like if I say anything,
Speaker 1: I'll be fired. It is a culture of a timidation.
Speaker 1: It is a culture of hard partisans. And I got
Speaker 1: to say, I'm very glad that Jim Jordan in the
Speaker 1: House are going to investigate the politicization of the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice and the FBI because they are trying to
Speaker 1: influence election. Let's be clear, they know what they're doing.
Speaker 1: They know that when they as the FBI did, when
Speaker 1: they ask Facebook please suppress any discussion of Hunter Biden's
Speaker 1: laptop before the twenty twenty election, they say, this looks
Speaker 1: like Russian disinformation. Well, it wasn't Russian disinformation. It was true,
Speaker 1: it was factual, and they knew that, but they knew
Speaker 1: that it was politically harmful to Joe Biden and the
Speaker 1: oligarchs and big Tech said more than happy to comply.
Speaker 1: The FBI should not be influencing elections, the dj should
Speaker 1: not be influencing elections. And Merrick Garland is the most
Speaker 1: corrupt Attorney general we've ever seen in terms of being
Speaker 1: willing to corrupt the Department of Justice and FBI and
Speaker 1: use them as political weapons. And the fact that his
Speaker 1: response Donald Trump announced for president, Okay, I'm appointing in
Speaker 1: a special prosecutor. We're going to indict you. That's politics,
Speaker 1: it's not justice. I go back to Garland. You and
Speaker 1: I mentioned this the other day, but I think it's
Speaker 1: worth revisiting. Garland is a guy that was very upset
Speaker 1: because he truly believes now he should be on the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. He understands he's yeah, I mean very glad,
Speaker 1: he's not, but he's very angry, and it's like it's
Speaker 1: an obsession. I believe he's gone to the point of
Speaker 1: being a psychopath where it's like, all right, you guys
Speaker 1: didn't let me have my vote, you didn't let me
Speaker 1: get on the Supreme Court. There's going to be hell
Speaker 1: to pay forever and ever and ever. Amen, as long
Speaker 1: as I have this opportunity to stick it to you,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to come out and I'm going to
Speaker 1: do everything I can to undermine you as a party
Speaker 1: or anybody in the Republican Party that gets in my way.
Speaker 1: So I'm going to press back on you a little bit.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't use a word like psychopath. I think it's
Speaker 1: a combination of things. I don't know Merrit Gar. I've
Speaker 1: met him a couple of times, but I don't know
Speaker 1: him very well. Personally, I think he's a weak man.
Speaker 1: I think he's unwilling to stand up to the partisan
Speaker 1: hacks in the White House. So you think it's more
Speaker 1: of a top down thing. I think the White House
Speaker 1: is the corruption. The fish rots from the head. It
Speaker 1: is the Biden White House that is fundamentally corrupt. But
Speaker 1: I do think merit Garland is different from an Eric
Speaker 1: Holder or a Lauretta Lynch who were deep partisans. I
Speaker 1: actually think Garland justifies to himself what he's doing. I
Speaker 1: think he believes he's not being partisan. Wow. I think
Speaker 1: he's drunk the kool aid so much that that he's
Speaker 1: He's someone who's very self righteous. And does he have
Speaker 1: a grievance because he was denied the Supreme Court? Yes?
Speaker 1: Or a feelings hurt deeply, I'm sure. Although I'm not
Speaker 1: an armchair psychologist, even though we're sitting in armchairs. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I ain't a shrink, but my sense
Speaker 1: of it, you look at something like something we've discussed
Speaker 1: at great length, using the FBI to target parents who
Speaker 1: speak up at school boards. I think the Biden White
Speaker 1: House told him to do it, and he just was
Speaker 1: happy to roll over, and he justified to himself, well,
Speaker 1: it's just fine. I'm just asking them to investigate, and
Speaker 1: you know that there's there's nothing about that. I think
Speaker 1: he is fundamentally a weak man who will not push
Speaker 1: back against anything the White House demand. And you got
Speaker 1: to understand, it's not just the AG There are all
Speaker 1: these hard partisans that are burrowed into senior positions of
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice, senior positions at the FBI, who
Speaker 1: are driving partisan outcomes, and I think Merrick Garland is
Speaker 1: all too happy to comply. And the consequence, I believe,
Speaker 1: and I detail this in my book Justice Corrupted. Merrick
Speaker 1: Garland has done more to undermine the integrity of the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice than any Attorney general in history. And
Speaker 1: included within that is John Mitchell, who was Nixon's Attorney
Speaker 1: General who resigned in disgrace and went to prison. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the strategy of Republicans in the House. I
Speaker 1: got to give him some credit so far. A lot
Speaker 1: of times we get power and we screw it up.
Speaker 1: We've seen it happen over and over again. We don't
Speaker 1: go all in like Democrats do, the way that Jim
Speaker 1: Jordan's came out the way that James Comer came out.
Speaker 1: James is doing something. I think it's very interesting. He's
Speaker 1: actually saying, here are crimes we believe that the pres
Speaker 1: it was a part of. Take a look what's the
Speaker 1: blowers described. President Biden is chairman of the board for
Speaker 1: these businesses. He personally participated in meetings and phone calls.
Speaker 1: Documents showed that he was a partner with access to
Speaker 1: an office. To be clear, Joe Biden is the big guy.
Speaker 1: This evidence raises troubling questions about whether President Biden is
Speaker 1: a national security risk and about whether he is compromised
Speaker 1: by foreign government. Despite the President's claim that he wasn't
Speaker 1: involved in Biden family business schemes, these photos showed Joe
Speaker 1: Biden meeting with his family associates while Vice president. I
Speaker 1: mean he was selling out the White House the entire
Speaker 1: time when he had access to as the vice president. Clearly,
Speaker 1: I think he's doing the exact same thing now. But
Speaker 1: is he a threat do you believe to our national
Speaker 1: security based on the way that he described it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course he is. And let me command Comer and
Speaker 1: how the House is starting to begin these investigations because
Speaker 1: the focus needs to be on Joe Biden. This is
Speaker 1: not about Hunter Biden anymore than if you're going after
Speaker 1: the mafia and you catch some low level enforcer or
Speaker 1: you're going after a drug cartel and you catch some
Speaker 1: mule who swallowed balloons full of heroin. It's not about
Speaker 1: the porsche lub who got caught. Yeah, it's about the boss.
Speaker 1: It's about the big guy. It's about the godfather. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is the godfather. He is the one who ultimately
Speaker 1: is profiting on this corruption. He is the one who
Speaker 1: is abusing official authority to further the criminal activity of
Speaker 1: his family members. And that's why this is an issue
Speaker 1: of public corruption. So DJ, going back again to the
Speaker 1: politicization of DJ, they desperately want to keep this on.
Speaker 1: Oh look, Hunter Biden has a drug problem. You know what.
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be talking about it if it was just
Speaker 1: one undeply troubled soul. The reason we should talk about it,
Speaker 1: and the reason why the corporate media and the Democrats
Speaker 1: desperately don't want to talk about it is there is
Speaker 1: now growing evidence of corruption from Joe Biden himself when
Speaker 1: he was Vice president of the United States and now
Speaker 1: when he's President of the United States personally enriching himself,
Speaker 1: enriching his family, by selling official favors to enemies, hostile
Speaker 1: foreign governments. That is an issue of highest importance, and
Speaker 1: the Democrats and the media desperately want to cover it up.
Speaker 1: Fifty different countries they were trying to do business in.
Speaker 1: I was shocked by that number, coming from whistle blowers,
Speaker 1: all those backed up now by the emails from the
Speaker 1: bagman and Hunter Biden, James Biden. This wasn't just Russia
Speaker 1: and just China and just Ukraine. Fifty different nations basically
Speaker 1: means you go out and you just throw hooks in
Speaker 1: the water anywhere you can to get your hands on
Speaker 1: some cash and whoever is willing to basically play the game,
Speaker 1: the Biden game, give us money, We'll give you access.
Speaker 1: What do you want how much? I didn't even think
Speaker 1: I could get this bad, And yet here we are
Speaker 1: talking about at fifty nations as they laid out this week. Well,
Speaker 1: I think what is being laid out as the agenda
Speaker 1: for oversight in the House is incredibly important. And you
Speaker 1: know what it also is. It's an indictment of the
Speaker 1: Department of Justice because Merrick Garland doesn't want to look
Speaker 1: into any of that because you know what, he works
Speaker 1: for the big guy too. He's the political enforcer that
Speaker 1: pretends to be the cop. And so somebody is focused
Speaker 1: on rule of law, and that's going to have to
Speaker 1: be the House of Representatives. By the way, in the Senate,
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats on Judiciary Committee has zero interest. They don't
Speaker 1: care what evidence there is of official corruption of Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: They are partisan's first, second, third, and every day of
Speaker 1: the week you bring up corruption, we gotta go into
Speaker 1: the cryptocurrency disaster. Some people may say this is inside baseball.
Speaker 1: I don't really care. Here's why you should care. You've
Speaker 1: got a guy who's young. You have a guy that's
Speaker 1: literally been asked by Democrats come to Washington and to
Speaker 1: help them regulate the cryptocurrency industry. He happens to become
Speaker 1: the second largest donor of anyone in this last cycle
Speaker 1: that we just had the midterm elections as a donor
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. Who is number one, I don't even
Speaker 1: know who number George Soros. There you go, so he barely,
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't beat out George Soros, but he out
Speaker 1: of nowhere becomes a second largest donor. He also planned
Speaker 1: to quote, in his words, be a billionaire donor to
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party in twenty twenty four. Let me tweak
Speaker 1: that slightly. It's not a billionaire donor. It is to
Speaker 1: donate over one billion dollars to electing Democrats in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. Yeah, you know, he put over ten million
Speaker 1: dollars in Joe Biden's campaign. Sam Bankman freed. The evidence
Speaker 1: right now that is coming out is incredibly damning. It
Speaker 1: is evidence that suggests a Bernie made Off style fraud
Speaker 1: and Enron style fraud that cost investors billions of dollars,
Speaker 1: and he in turn invested quite wisely in supporting Democrat
Speaker 1: politicians who would essentially greenwash what he's doing because they
Speaker 1: like his money, they would give cover for him. Now
Speaker 1: there will be countless lawsuits, there will be investigations, and
Speaker 1: if the evidence backs up what seems to be the
Speaker 1: case right now that it was fraud, that it was
Speaker 1: deliberate fraud, I assume he is going to be prosecuted
Speaker 1: for engaging in fraud. My question to you right now,
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden going to return the cash over ten
Speaker 1: million dollars to Joe Biden to the big guy. Now,
Speaker 1: mind you, the big guys willing to take cash from
Speaker 1: communist China, the big guys to take cash from countries
Speaker 1: all over the world. Is the big guy willing to
Speaker 1: take cash from someone right now with serious, credible evidence
Speaker 1: of massive fraud that caused billions of dollars of harm.
Speaker 1: And every other Democrat who cash the checks, will they
Speaker 1: give it back? And I'll tell you what, don't give
Speaker 1: it back to him, give it to the victims of
Speaker 1: the fraud. Yeah, let's start with Joe Biden saying I
Speaker 1: was wrong to take ten million dollars and I'm going
Speaker 1: to give it to the people who got screwed. And
Speaker 1: by the way, who are some of the people that
Speaker 1: got screwed. There were pension funds that invested with FTX.
Speaker 1: That means they're little old ladies. That means they're people
Speaker 1: whose savings were damaged. And Joe Biden and the Democrats
Speaker 1: were complicit. And it will they give the money back?
Speaker 1: And I'll give you one response to that, don't hold
Speaker 1: your breath. Yeah, even Maxing Waters, she brought him into
Speaker 1: the house. There's video that now has gone viral that
Speaker 1: we've been able to find. And I want to play
Speaker 1: this because this is literally her looking at this scumbag
Speaker 1: blowing him a kiss. Is a guy that's advising her
Speaker 1: on how to regulate or should they not regulate the
Speaker 1: cryptocurrency industry. Take a look at this her blowing him
Speaker 1: a kiss and just saying, Oh, we love you so much,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming out there. She is on the left.
Speaker 1: You see him with a big hair on the right.
Speaker 1: Blow a kiss, thanks for coming. She's asked, by the way,
Speaker 1: because she got a lot of his cash. She was
Speaker 1: asked by a reporter, Hey, are you going to give
Speaker 1: away back this money that he gave you? And look
Speaker 1: at her response. I think some lawmakers that got donations
Speaker 1: from ftx's founder should give that money back. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't want to get into that. I don't want to
Speaker 1: get into that. No, of course, sure she doesn't want
Speaker 1: to get into obviously not. I wouldn't want to talk
Speaker 1: about it either if I were her. When you've been
Speaker 1: taking cash from someone who has been implicated as front
Speaker 1: and center in a massive fraud, it's not good to
Speaker 1: be funded by them, And I want to highlight something.
Speaker 1: So Sam Bankman Freed, perhaps unintentionally, has been really explicit
Speaker 1: in admitting the complete fraud that eesg and all of
Speaker 1: these lefty woke policies are in the business world today.
Speaker 1: And he recently had a series of direct messages with
Speaker 1: a reporter, so he's in Bahamas, at his company headquarters
Speaker 1: in Bahamas, and the reporter says, quote, you were really
Speaker 1: good at talking about ethics for someone who kind of
Speaker 1: saw it all as a game with winners and losers.
Speaker 1: And here's Sam Bankman Freed's response, Yeah, he he, I
Speaker 1: had to be. It's what reputations are made of. To
Speaker 1: some extent, I feel bad for those who get fed
Speaker 1: by it. Although he didn't abbreviate FT. But this dumb game,
Speaker 1: we woke Westerner's play where we say all the right
Speaker 1: shibboleths and so everyone likes us. I want to read
Speaker 1: that again because that is one of the most candid statements.
Speaker 1: At least he's honest by this dumb game, we woke
Speaker 1: Westerner's play where we say all the right shibboleths so
Speaker 1: everyone likes us. Look, Harvey Weinstein did this. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: sexually assaulting and raping women. But you know what I
Speaker 1: give to Bill Clinton and Democrats, So I got to
Speaker 1: be all right, that's what Sam Bankman Freed was doing.
Speaker 1: It was pay in protection. When he cut ten million
Speaker 1: dollars to the Biden campaign, it's ten percent of the
Speaker 1: big guy. And by the way, Sam Bankman Fried was
Speaker 1: making twenty thirty billion dollars at one point. He was
Speaker 1: worth twenty billion personally, now bankrupt, but he was worth this.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of narcis. You and I have talked
Speaker 1: about this. You pay everybody in the government so the
Speaker 1: government lets you keep selling your drugs. His just ha
Speaker 1: to be a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme and it wasn't just
Speaker 1: money directly. I think this is important. Bankman Freed and
Speaker 1: his co founders also donated over three hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to nine lawmakers of the House Financial Services Committee, which
Speaker 1: is charged with regulating him, in essence, who are now
Speaker 1: investigating the company for wrongdoing, having a press conference about it,
Speaker 1: and then he doesn't want to get into Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't want to get to that. And also donated five
Speaker 1: million dollars to a superpack outside direct contributions, a superpack
Speaker 1: that supported Biden in twenty twenty, so five million dollars
Speaker 1: went to elect Joe Biden in twenty twenty and then
Speaker 1: another forty million this cycle alone, largely to Democrats. He
Speaker 1: contributed six million to the House Majority Pack Democrats, a
Speaker 1: million to the House Senate Majority Pack, and nearly nine
Speaker 1: hundred thousand to the Democratic National Committee. That isn't even
Speaker 1: just that's not even all of who he gave money to.
Speaker 1: But that's just one of the highlights. His helps run
Speaker 1: a giant dark money Democrat fund as well. So that's
Speaker 1: the money you know about it. It's not the additional
Speaker 1: money that he was giving. And this is not different
Speaker 1: from paying protection funds. And he admits that, he admits
Speaker 1: he doesn't even believe all of his woke posturing. But
Speaker 1: Democrats and the corrupt media and they treated him, you know,
Speaker 1: CNBC described him as the next Steve Jobs, the next
Speaker 1: Warren Buffett. I mean, I mean they because he embraced
Speaker 1: lefty causes. They gave him protection, the guy who started
Speaker 1: barstool Sports. He's pretty flamboyant, pretty blunt, does some great
Speaker 1: pizza reviews. He went on Fox News Channel this week
Speaker 1: and basically called out the media and the Democrat establishment, saying,
Speaker 1: if you guys don't report on this story, you're pretty
Speaker 1: much all scumbags and a part of it, because we
Speaker 1: all knew it was happening. And he says, look, I'm
Speaker 1: involved in gambling and online gambling for goodness sakes, but
Speaker 1: I'm regulating to the hills. They know everything of invested
Speaker 1: in where all my money goes. And this is what
Speaker 1: he had to say about the Democrats in the media.
Speaker 1: The thing that's shocking to I mean, I'm in the
Speaker 1: gambling field, were rigorously regulated, like they know what I
Speaker 1: did twenty years ago. Yes, everything. If I do one
Speaker 1: thing weird, I hear about it. There's companies writing articles.
Speaker 1: We knew this guy was in the Bahamas. Why because unregulated,
Speaker 1: living in basically a Paula Morris penthouse with like twenty
Speaker 1: people who were all having sex with each other, running
Speaker 1: this and it was well known. I mean, if somebody
Speaker 1: did that in the United States and meanwhile he's comporting
Speaker 1: with politicians at the highest level of government, the fact
Speaker 1: he wasn't investigated, to me, just shows what a lot
Speaker 1: of this country's all about. People just trying to make money.
Speaker 1: They're being dishonest, they're saying the right things to make money,
Speaker 1: and he's lining everybody's pockets. It wasn't obvious to me.
Speaker 1: But if you're meeting with Gensler and you're meeting with politicians,
Speaker 1: I don't know how in a million years they didn't
Speaker 1: know that he's obviously mad. It goes back to the
Speaker 1: text messages that you read a moment ago. How candid
Speaker 1: this guy's mean. It's like, look, I know the game.
Speaker 1: I got to dinner with Democrats, I hang out with Democrats.
Speaker 1: They look the other way. I get to live like
Speaker 1: I'm a billionaire in a Ponzi scheme, and they'll never
Speaker 1: figure it out. Look, it is like Jeffrey Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein,
Speaker 1: who was an original fob friend of Bill flew Bill
Speaker 1: Clinton repeatedly on the lad Express. Now, Jeffrey Epstein, we
Speaker 1: now know of his repeated pedophilia and sex with children,
Speaker 1: and you know it was a massive Democrat fundraiser. And
Speaker 1: yet how is it that we don't have the client
Speaker 1: book still to this day. Look, we need to know
Speaker 1: the clients, and you know, and you know why, because
Speaker 1: they don't want the clients made public. They don't want
Speaker 1: them prosecuted. Because if you say the right things to
Speaker 1: Democrats in the media, they'll cover up for you. It's
Speaker 1: the same business. Do you know what Jeffrey Epstein had
Speaker 1: and I think it was the living room of his
Speaker 1: New York, New York brownstone or was it in a
Speaker 1: giant oil painting of Bill Clinton wearing a blue dresser
Speaker 1: high heels. It's really quite a traumatic image. It's not
Speaker 1: something if you see it you'll want to burn your
Speaker 1: eyes with bleach. But he had it hanging on his wall.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm reminded of jud Judiciary Committee hearing where
Speaker 1: John Kennedy, my my, my good friend, with one heck
Speaker 1: of a sense of humor, he leans forward and he
Speaker 1: goes Christmas tree ornaments and Jeffrey Epstein, two things you know,
Speaker 1: didn't hang themselves there. It is last question for you
Speaker 1: if the Democratic Party doesn't give back the money and
Speaker 1: the Democratic candidates that took money, and if we have
Speaker 1: a real media, they will call on the Democrats. Put
Speaker 1: up the numbers, put up every dollar each Democrat has had,
Speaker 1: and they will ask them like they did, like Fox
Speaker 1: asked Maxine Waters. But where's CNN, where's MSNBC? She goes
Speaker 1: on those shows all the time? The opening question. Anytime
Speaker 1: a Democrat who's catch those checks goes on the show,
Speaker 1: shouldn't the opening question. Come on, CNN, let's see your
Speaker 1: great courage opening question or giving back the money has
Speaker 1: asked to head the DNC. I mean, this is not
Speaker 1: a little bit of money. This is a lot of
Speaker 1: money that went to the Democratic National Committee. If they
Speaker 1: don't give back this money, are they in essence complicit
Speaker 1: in this Ponzi scheme? In your opinion, yes, there it is.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great way to end the show today.
Speaker 1: I'll say it to you. Don't forget. Make sure you
Speaker 1: run a five star review for us. Please tell your
