1 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Jim Acosta Show. And 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: we're looking at this as kind of a special edition 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: of the show. I think we're going to call this 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: Holy Schmidt. It's Friday. It is back with us, Steve. 5 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: Great to see. I feel like this is becoming such 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: a huge success. We just got to keep this ball rolling. Man, 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: Let's do it. Always good to be with you, Jim. 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: And no better day to do it than Friday. 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: No better. Thank God, It's Friday. 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 3: Thank God. 11 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: And I don't know if I should say thank God 12 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court, but maybe thank God for checks 13 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: and balances because of this tariff decision by the Supreme Court. 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: I think there are a couple of things going on. 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: Of course, you know, Trump never watched Schoolhouse Rock. He 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: doesn't understand how the constitution works. You know, he is 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: a very simplistic, stupid person. But I think the Supreme 18 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: Court under John Roberts, has discovered that their legacy has 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: been shattered by the immunity decision, and to some extent, 20 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: they're trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on this case? 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 4: Well, John Roberts is the worst Chief Justice in American 23 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 4: history since Kenny who is the author of the dread 24 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 4: Scott decision. 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 3: And I say that as. 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 4: The person who ran John Roberts confirmation in the Bush 27 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 4: White House and sat behind him for those for those hearings, 28 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 4: And we could go and talk about that for an hour, 29 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: about the disgrace of his presiding over the Supreme Court. 30 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 4: But what I think we learned today is something important, 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 4: which is that the Supreme Court is not completely and 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 4: irrevocably corrupt. It's just profoundly corrupt, and so there was 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 4: no work around for this. The tariffs, an economic disaster 34 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 4: that are wrecking the economy of the country for ordinary people, 35 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 4: are a specific congressional authority. 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: So these have. 37 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 4: Been illegal from day one, and the slow reaction to 38 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 4: the constitutional breach that these tariffs represented has been responsible 39 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 4: for a lot of chaos in the economy in this 40 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: country and all over the world. That has profoundly weakened 41 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 4: America's standing, our reputation, and has been at the end 42 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 4: of the day, And we'll find out all about this 43 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 4: in the years to come. But what this all has 44 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 4: been about is Trump's self enrichmentd that behind the tariff 45 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 4: door is an epic level of corruption, which is basically, 46 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 4: you do for Trump and Trump won't slap the tariff 47 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 4: on you. And the fact that Democrats, particularly in the 48 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 4: form of the leaders Schumer and Jeffries, have not been 49 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 4: screaming at a volume that could be heard from outer 50 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 4: space about that about this issue is a reason why 51 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 4: I think the profound divide in the Democratic Party is 52 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 4: not ideological, but it's between appeasers and fighting Democrats. And 53 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: so the appeasement has run its course. The Supreme Court 54 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 4: stated the obvious, and a year of chaos economically has 55 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 4: been brought. 56 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: To heal by this decision. And Trump is shipped out 57 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 3: of luck. 58 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 2: He shouted out of luck. 59 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look at all the people he's hurting the process, 60 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: the farmers, small businesses, and we just don't understand how 61 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: to untangle this mess. It seems to me this whole 62 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: issue of refunds. Do people get a refund? 63 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: Now? 64 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: What about the American consumers who have been putting the 65 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: bill for this? Do they get a refund? Do we 66 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: get ack in the mail to help pay for all 67 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: of this? And this is why this doesn't pass the 68 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: constitutional muster, because imagine if every president could come in 69 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: and unilaterally slapped terrafs on countries around the world. That's 70 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: why this doesn't work that way, you know. It's just 71 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: that's why the Constitution is set up so that Congress 72 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: can can establish tax policies and the President can decide 73 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: whether or not he approves or she approves or disapproves. 74 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: That's the way the constitution works. But it seems to 75 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: me that a part of this, and you were talking 76 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: about this earlier, Steve, that a big part of this 77 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: is that the Supreme Court under John Roberts unleashed this 78 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: Frankenstein and now they don't know how to rain him in. 79 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: They've tried to, you know, cut him off at the 80 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: pass when it comes to the Alien Enemies Act and 81 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: deploying the National Guard and you know, all these other issues, 82 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: but they John Roberts is responsible for this mess. 83 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: By and large, it seems to me the. 84 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: Roberts Court has profoundly, to use that word again, destabilized 85 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 4: our American society, our civilization through partisan rulings. We have 86 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 4: a corrupt Supreme Court, financially compromised, Alito misconduct, Clarence Thomas's misconduct, 87 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 4: flying around with all these billionaire extremist donors for vacations here, there, 88 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 4: and everywhere. The court has lost its reputation. It's lost it. 89 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: It's lost it for a reason. And now we have 90 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's visage looming down at the American people from 91 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 4: the Department of Justice, which is a corrupt institution that 92 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 4: can't be trusted, filled with corrupt prosecutors who abuse their oaths, 93 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 4: abuse the constitution, abuse the American people in the name 94 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 4: of power. And again, every single detail of every despic 95 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 4: act is going to be known, just not later today. 96 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: That's right. 97 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: And I mean one of the I think, you know, 98 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: byproducts of what has been unleashed on the American people 99 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: is that not only is the president under the mindset 100 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: that he can just do whatever he wants and act 101 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: like a dictator, he's this has created a sort of 102 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: legion of mini means in his cabinet. And so that's 103 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: why the Secretary of Homeland Security, Christy nom thinks that 104 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: she and Corey Lewandowski, her special advisor, can fly around 105 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: the country on this monstrosity of a jet.

They fired this guy on 125 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 4: the tarmac and then dumb and dumber figure out there's 126 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 4: no one else there to fire and fly the planes. 127 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: So he's hired.

And again, Cory. 143 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 4: Leuwandowski is a special government employee. He has no statutory authority. 144 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 4: He has not been confirmed by the Senate. Why is 145 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 4: he in the chain of command? You have a Democratic 146 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 4: congressman who was interrogating someone from the Homeland Security Department 147 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 4: who made the point that if you need something, for example, 148 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 4: from FEMA for your flood stricken district, you have to 149 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: call Cory. Why has this been tolerated by Chuck Schumer, 150 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 4: by Hakim Jeffries And I hope it will not be 151 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 4: for much longer, But there is going to be a 152 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 4: democratic majority. We are going to have elections. The whole 153 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 4: fear mongering that Trump has some power to stop them 154 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 4: is nonsense. And it's going to be good for the 155 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 4: American people to see Trump's reaction to the Supreme Court 156 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 4: decision because there's nothing he can. 157 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 3: Do about it. 158 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 4: The characters they're gone, and there's going to be an election, 159 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 4: and every detail, every email, every order, every interaction, every contract. 160 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: All of it is going to be known. 161 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: Corey Lewandowski is building this giant house up up in 162 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 4: New Hampshire. Where does Corey's money come from. I'm going 163 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 4: to tell you where I think it comes from.

And you're absolutely 190 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: right about the Department of Homeland Security. This is a 191 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: department that was created after nine to eleven to keep 192 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: the homeland, say safe, to protect us from another terrorist 193 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: attack like what took place on September eleventh, and it 194 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: just seems to me, this all flows back to Trump. 195 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: He has been unleashed as this unaccountable, out of control dictator. 196 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: And there I was thinking about this last night. It 197 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: seems to me what we need to have happen in 198 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: this country is we need to lose our virginity when 199 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: it comes to prosecuting and imprisoning a corrupt and unlawful president. 200 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: We have not crossed that threshold in this country. It 201 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: seems that Supreme Court wanted to avoid that, and that's 202 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: why we have the immunity decision. But I'm sorry, it 203 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: is time for this country to act like other countries 204 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: around the world. The former Prince Andrew just the other 205 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: day got hauled in by the police in the UK, 206 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: and we don't have that kind of system in the 207 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: United States. Bolsonaro, I mean, you nay, all these countries 208 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: around the world they do this, we don't, and it's 209 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: it's a I think it's a major problem. 210 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: And to me, Donald Trump. 211 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: Is sort of the prototype for us to lose our 212 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: virginity when it comes to prosecuting and imprisoning a president. 213 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 2: If he's broken the law, he should be held accountable. 214 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 4: What happened to the speedboats in the Southern Caribbean is 215 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 4: a crime, and the admiral who ordered the attack will 216 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 4: be court martialed. I hope the child who is sleeping 217 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 4: on a concrete floor being malnourished, that is a crime. 218 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: Every single person up and down the chain of command, 219 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 4: all of them, from top to bottom, must face justice. 220 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 4: If we do not do that, then the Republic will 221 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 4: not survive. We will survive Trump because mag is headed 222 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 4: for the ass heap of history. What we will not 223 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 4: be able to survive is another round of Merrick Orlandism. 224 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 4: The out of control nature of these people, the stealing, 225 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 4: the grifting. It is beyond the beyond the beyond now. 226 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 4: I think people get confused by the inability to do 227 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 4: something about it in the moment, and some people see indifference. 228 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: We're gonna see a. 229 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 4: Title wave, an electoral title wave, unlike any that we 230 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 4: have seen in our lifetime. You're going to have a 231 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 4: democratic governor in Georgia. You're gonna have a democratic governor 232 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 4: in Ohio. You're you're going to have a democratic senate. Uh, 233 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 4: there's a there's a there's a senate candidate.

And these people are going 238 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 4: to be defeated and they're going to be held to account. 239 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 3: When when you have. 240 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 4: The Ice thug on the roof who shot the priest 241 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 4: in the head with the pepper bull, who ordered him 242 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 4: up onto the roof, who told him it was okay 243 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 4: to point a weapon out an American citizen, let alone 244 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 4: fire that. 245 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: Weapon, that's right be on. 246 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 4: A daily basis, the abuses of these ICE agents then 247 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 4: pointing weapons at innocent Americans going about their business, harassing people. 248 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 4: All of this is not only unconscionable, it is illegal. 249 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 4: And though Trump may pardon, which is his right, there 250 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 4: will be an ability to prosecute these folks at a 251 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 4: state level. And in the end, we're in a serious 252 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: reform in the country. We're gonna need to take away 253 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 4: the pardon power from an American president. There's going to 254 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 4: have to be a golden age of legislation to set 255 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 4: things right because what we thought of as traditions that 256 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 4: were the facto law have turned out to be no 257 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: such thing.

The only way they can cheat is 273 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 5: if they look.

And by the time 330 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 4: you got to the action phase of the sinking, there 331 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 4: were no more lifeboats left, so at the time to 332 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 4: have gotten in the lifeboat was quite a while ago. 333 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 4: There are no more lifeboats left for any of these people. 334 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 4: They're going down, and there's going to be a lot 335 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 4: of accountability that's coming because I think what Democrats have 336 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 4: to appreciate is that just as there's zero tolerance for MAGA, 337 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 4: there might be even less than zero tolerance for Democrats. 338 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 2: That's appeasing MAGA, that's right. I no more people know 339 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: they've had enough. 340 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: And the other thing, Steve is, you know you mentioned 341 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez. His district is the district where the notorious 342 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: Dilly Detention Center is in Texas. And this has been 343 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: a litany of one catastrophe after another. And if you 344 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: look at just the latest headline I pulled this out 345 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,239 Speaker 1: of the Miami and New Times, I think it was 346 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: about a little nine year old girl who thought she 347 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: was going to Disney World. She was en route to 348 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: Disney World, they snatch her up. She's been in the 349 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: Dilly Detention for Center for months now and she has 350 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: been traumatized by this. The attorneys the family members say 351 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 1: she's traumatized because she thought she and her family, because 352 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: she wanted to go to Disney World, that they were 353 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: all going to go to Disney World as a family, 354 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: and instead now they're in detention. And this is the 355 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: same Dilly detention facility where the little two year old 356 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: bait or two month old baby I should say, just 357 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: the other day, was deported and the baby was in 358 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: respiratory distress at the Delly Detention Center. This is a 359 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: place that is not suitable for kids, and yet we 360 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: have children locked up there. This is where Liam Ramo's 361 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: from a few weeks ago, the five year old from 362 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota locked up.

They're going to flush 365 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: the toilet because they are disgusted by what they're seeing 366 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: right now. 367 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 4: I believe you can set me correct if I'm if 368 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 4: I'm wrong about this.

It's the the indecency, the 414 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 4: evil of this has to be confronted. 415 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: That's right, it's it's it's not who we are as 416 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: a country. Although when I say that, people will say 417 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 1: it's who we are now. No, it is not who 418 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: we are as a country. We decide who we are 419 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: as a country, and I think we're all going to 420 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: decide that is not who we are. The other thing 421 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,400 Speaker 1: that is driven by all of this, Steve, is that 422 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump sees himself as an unaccountable dictator. And the 423 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: latest example of that they put his picture up on 424 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. I'm sure you saw this. There's 425 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: a giant banner now hanging from the Department of Justice. 426 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: I think if there's any image that typifies where we 427 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,880 Speaker 1: are as a country right now, this is it. This 428 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump saying to the world, this is my 429 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: Justice department. Pam Bondi and the prosecutors at the Justice Department, 430 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: they're not going to hold me accountable for whatever I 431 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: did with respect to Jeffrey Epstein in my relationship with 432 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, because this is my Justice department. 433 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 3: They work for. 434 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: Me completely out of bounds, completely contrary to what the 435 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: Department of Justice of the United States of America should 436 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: all about it. And I've been around that building so 437 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: many times i can tell you. You know, when you 438 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: would look up at the Department of Justice, you know, 439 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: it looks like you are looking up out of something 440 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: out of a movie, out of mister Smith goes to 441 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: Washington or something along those lines. 442 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: There. 443 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: These are buildings in downtown Washington that are supposed to 444 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: inspire you, to make you think good of our of 445 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: our republic, of our democracy. And Trump just shits on 446 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: it by putting his name and his face all over 447 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: these buildings. I've been describing it as vandalism. He's vandalizing 448 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: our buildings, our federal buildings. 449 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 4: The the Justice Department is going to need to be 450 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 4: taken down to the studs. And we've seen how quickly 451 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 4: these big law firms folded and how capitulent they are, 452 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 4: and so capitulation works both ways. But uh, there's going 453 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 4: to be and there needs to be a great season 454 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 4: of disbarment. We have a collapse of ethic in the country. 455 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 4: Of legal ethics at the at the top of the list. 456 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 4: And I'm not I'm not sure that the Justice Department 457 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 4: should remain in that building. Uh in the next administration. 458 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 3: Uh. 459 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 4: Maybe that's the new home for the Department of Agriculture. 460 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe it's a maybe it's a new 461 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 4: Smithsonian uh museum. 462 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 3: But uh, but. 463 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 4: The the Department of Justice has been defiled, uh, desecrated, 464 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 4: and and the reality is is that you have a 465 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 4: lot of credible accusations of child abuse against Donald Trump, 466 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 4: child rape, terrible crimes, and and those crimes are being 467 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 4: covered up from inside that building by Pam Bondi, by 468 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 4: by Todd Blanche And Uh. When Democrats take the majority, Uh, 469 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 4: they need to precipitate a tremendous crisis by exercising uh 470 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 4: to the maximum force their constitutional power. 471 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 3: Uh. 472 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 4: There is a there is something called inherent contempt that 473 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 4: most most of us are unfamiliar with.

I think 505 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 4: everyone who's watching should appreciate that Iran is bigger than Alaska. 506 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 4: It's two and a half times the size of Texas. 507 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 4: It's a big country. 508 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 5: Uh. 509 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 4: And Donald Trump, president of peace, is about to start 510 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 4: another war. 511 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 3: Uh. 512 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 4: There's a new moon over Iran, which means that it 513 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 4: is dark in the skies. It's moonless nights. I will 514 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 4: be extraordinarily surprised if you and I are together on 515 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 4: next Friday that we are not at war with Iran. 516 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 3: In fact, I'd be. 517 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 4: Very surprised if when I see you on two Tuesday 518 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 4: night that combat operations haven't started. And and here's the deal. 519 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 4: There hasn't been a single congressional hearing. I haven't Maybe 520 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 4: I missed something, but I haven't seen anything from Chuck Schumer, 521 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 4: nothing from Hakim Jeffries. Not a fucking word from a 522 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 4: retired general, a colonel, a lieutenant colonel, a major, a captain, 523 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 4: or anybody about this military action. And if there's one 524 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 4: thing that we should all be able to look at objectively. 525 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 4: It's the fact that it's a lot easier to start 526 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 4: a war than to end one. What's the plan, what's 527 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 4: the strategy? Why are these kids going to be coming 528 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 4: home in boxes? And when we go to war with Iran, 529 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 4: there are going to be some of our sons and 530 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 4: daughters coming back in boxes draped in flags. And they 531 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 4: won't be the Trump kids doing the crypto events at Moralago. 532 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 4: They're pocketing billions of dollars. And so this is a 533 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,959 Speaker 4: moment of great danger. And and and I can't, I can't, 534 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 4: I literally cannot believe. After the failed wars in Iraq 535 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 4: and Afghanistan, we have a we have a battle group 536 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 4: assembled off of Iran that's the biggest since the start 537 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 4: of the Iraq War. And and it is invisible news 538 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 4: on most of the networks. It is not talked about, 539 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 4: it's not covered. There's been no debate about it. In 540 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 4: a free society. It is a fucking abomination, an. 541 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 2: Abomination, no question about it. 542 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,240 Speaker 3: Uh. 543 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: Well, on that note, Steve, we'll be talking next week. 544 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 1: We'll reconvene on all of these points.

I have to show 555 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: you one more tweet about what has been going on 556 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: at the Dilly detention facility in Texas. This is from 557 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: an attorney who represents some of the detainees there. This 558 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: is Eric Lee's, an attorney has been prominently featured in 559 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: all kinds of news reports on this. He says, I 560 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: can confirm that Ice Corsivic fed my client, a Beva Solomon, 561 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: a dirty nail in her breakfast this morning at Dilly. 562 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: The nail was about the length of a fingernail, covered 563 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: in black material. Detaining children at Dilly is a threat 564 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 1: to their lives. Detaining children at Dilly is a threat 565 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: to their lives. This is just one attorney for one 566 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: set of detainees at the Dilly detention camp, and I 567 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: think the American people they deserve answers. They deserve to 568 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: see what's going on behind the scenes of Dilly. What 569 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: is going on inside this children's prison, this prison for 570 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: little kids and babies? 571 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 2: What are we doing in this country? 572 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, the person who is presiding over the Department 573 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security has a jet that is basically a 574 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: private plane with a goddamn bet in it. I mean, 575 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: we could show that picture again. Christy nom has a 576 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: plane that she's flying around in with a bet in it. 577 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 1: Now NBC is reporting this because there have been lots 578 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: of questions raised about Christy Nome's relationship with Corey Lewandowski, 579 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: who is a special government employee. 580 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 2: But this is what NBC says. 581 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 1: No expense has been spared inside a luxury jet DHS 582 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: wants to buy for deportations, and it has a bed 583 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,919 Speaker 1: in it. Why does Christy Noam need jets with luxurious 584 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,839 Speaker 1: beds in it? And even Donald Trump has been asked 585 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: the question what is going on with Christynoman Corey Lewandowski. 586 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,400 Speaker 1: But to me, the symbolism of this bed, the symbolism 587 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: of this bed, is not about which cabinet secretary is 588 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 1: getting betted. Here the person who is getting screwed in 589 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: all of this Is you the person who's getting screwed 590 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: in all of this?

It's absolutely a travesty. And 598 00:37:55,320 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: you know, there needs to be accountability here. Cabinets secretaries 599 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: should be accountable to the American people. They should not 600 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 1: be able to buy for themselves luxury jets with bedrooms 601 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of them that they can fly around in. 602 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 2: Well. 603 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: Little children are being held in detention camps and being 604 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: fed basically garbage.
