Speaker 1: Has said he has a right to do as he wishes.

2
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:10,320

28
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,400

Speaker 3: I mean youet to find real.

30
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160

00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well listen you I want to get into it.

36
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: We've got some grades to give. Every Monday we do

37
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: a feature for the Save America movement UH for the

38
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: people of the United States of America, where we give

39
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: a grading scorecard to mainstream media. What happened this weekend

40
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 2: is mainstream media ran into a buzzsaw. The buzz shaw

41
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: was the No Kings protest. Nine million people around the

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 2: United States of America and it was gold. We had

43
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: about twelve thousand that showed up here in Toronto for

44
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: a No King's March. It was all over the world,

45
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: from Berne, Switzerland, to Helsinki, Finland, to London, England, to Paris, France,

46
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: all protesting the same thing, which is protesting for democracy

47
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 2: against Donald Trump.

48
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: And not a single sniff, dude.

49
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: It was such a disaster this weekend on all five

50
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: Sunday daily news programs, where you got platitudes, a couple

51
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: of mentions from Kristen Welker, who I like, expected more.

52
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: You got nothing from Trump's state media at all. I

53
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: gave them a grade. We'll get to the grade in

54
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: just a second, Steve. But what I want to do

55
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: is play this clip, and then I want to kind

56
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: of get into that dereliction of duty from mainstream media,

57
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: and I want to get your impression of the weekend

58
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: as someone who was deeply involved in No Kings and

59
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: with our friends over at the Save America movement giving

60
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: that keynote this weekend, because this weekend shook the world,

61
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: and it should have shook the world. And for people

62
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: not to be paying attention to this and this to

63
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: not be serviced on mainstream media is what a what

64
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: a shame, That's the only word I can think of.

65
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: But I want to play this clip, Mike, the second clip.

66
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: This is the supercut of No Kings and this is

67
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: what happened this weekend, which was also ignored ad nauseum.

68
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: Let's play this clip real quick. Tens of thousands across

69
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: the country take to the streets to protest the policies

70
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: of the Trump administration.

71
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 7: Public and an anti war message is central to the

72
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 7: latest No Kings protests. Millions on the streets across the country,

73
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 7: from New York to Austin to Los Angeles.

74
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 8: Millions marched in unity on the streets of the nation,

75
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 8: cities and towns Saturday, in a movement that could mean

76
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 8: trouble for the GOP when it comes to the midterm elections.

77
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's it. That's what you got on Saturday.

78
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 2: That's what you got on Sunday morning. Quick brief mentions.

79
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: I gave Face the Nation Margaret and A. I gave

80
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: Kristen Welker C plus. I gave this Week with Rattison

81
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: carl A C. I gave Dana BASHC minus, and I

82
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: gave Shannon Breem yet another F You and I chatted.

83
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: None of those grades are good enough for you, my friend.

84
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: I was like, I, well, first off, the first thing

85
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: I want to say about it before before I get in,

86
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 4: Before I get into the grades, and what could be

87
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 4: a dispute between us if we were to ever teach

88
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: a class together, possible that philosophically that your embrace of

89
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 4: the Canadian grading system, a very kind system, very lenient

90
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 4: and permissive system, could be a division in our approach

91
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 4: to the to the to the classroom, to the class.

92
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: I remember my Canadian step kids when I went. I

93
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 4: saw their grades all the time. I was like, God,

94
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: their geniuses. I so, first off, Kristen Welker and I,

95
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 4: she is a lovely person. She's a she's a lovely person.

96
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: What what is she talking about when she says there

97
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 4: are tens of thousands of people? That came out right?

98
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: If you you were you were at the Blue Jays

99
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: game yesterday, there were tens of thousands of people at

100
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: the Blue Jays.

101
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: Game, forty steak.

102
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: It's fair to say if you're at a Blue Jays game, mhmm.

103
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 4: Soon we'll be at the Blue Jays game. And if

104
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: I were you to say to you at the Blue

105
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 4: Jays game, how many people are here? Team? And if

106
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 4: you were to say that, it look to look around

107
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: and be like, there there are there are tens of

108
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: thousands of people here. That would that would be that

109
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: would be accurate if if you look at if you

110
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: looked at that crowd and you were like, there's there's

111
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 4: there's one hundred people here, that would be crazy. And

112
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: so in the same manner, if you report on what

113
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: happened on Saturday, when there's nine million people on the

114
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: streets all over the country in defiance and protests, and

115
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: you say there's ten thousand people, how, how is that

116
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 4: not at some level of caricature of of orwell, this

117
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: is this is NBC news, This isn't o a n

118
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 4: In fact, I would argue it's not any Sunday show.

119
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: It's the flagship. It's Meet the Press, Meet the Meet

120
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: the Press. As there were tens of thousands of people,

121
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 4: what there were There were thirty one hundred protests across

122
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: all fifty states, including in other countries, including in all

123
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: the territories. The group I spoke to was ten thousand people.

124
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 4: So the most elemental detail of what happened isn't reported,

125
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 4: let alone the what and why of it.

126
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and you know what, you're hitting the nail

127
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: on the head because it's not just about the lack

128
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: of coverage. It's about the minuscule coverage that got and

129
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: how it was presented to the American people. Case in

130
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: point nine million people showed up this weekend, in any

131
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: other time in America's history, if nine million people in

132
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: fifty states, in thirty one hundred different locations showed up

133
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: to say no.

134
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: This would be the only story.

135
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 2: They would want to know why, They would want to

136
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: know who, they would want to know how, and they

137
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: would want to know what the goal was, what is

138
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: the end result? What are you looking for? And everybody

139
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: knows what they're looking for. Everybody knows why these protests exists.

140
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: Everybody knew why nine million people flooded the streets. Everybody knows.

141
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: In watching I don't know if you saw the visual

142
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: Robert de Niro, Tish James, Reverend Al Sharpton walking together

143
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: leading the people of New York, hundreds and hundreds of

144
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: thousands of people in New York City alone, And nobody

145
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: talked about it on Sunday, And if they did talk

146
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: about it, to your point, they completely misrepresented it. And listen,

147
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: Christen Welker was the best of the bunch because she

148
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: mentioned it. But when she mentioned it, and this is

149
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: a question I would have for you, she minimized it,

150
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: not just minimized but minimized it in such a delusional

151
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: way that I thought to mysel self, tens of thousands

152
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: of people versus nine million, who is she doing this

153
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: show for? Is NBC as petrified as the ABC's are

154
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: they captured like the CBS's. And CBS was just as

155
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: bad with ratitson Carl this weekend. They made mention of

156
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: it and then talked about literally everything else under the sun,

157
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: from TSA agents to ice to Iran, but nobody talked

158
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: about this. Nine million people showed up in the streets

159
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: of the United States this weekend, Steve, and this was

160
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: about Iran.

161
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: But this also got no play, none of it.

162
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: So these shows are listed as public affair shows, but

163
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 4: they're not public affair shows. These are shows to cover politics,

164
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: and nobody should be on their high horse that they're

165
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: anything other than that day that these are shows that

166
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: cover politics. These are not shows where there is debate

167
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 4: on public policy. So, for example, these are not forums

168
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: where any person is going to go on and have

169
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: a debate or any type of substance of conversation about

170
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: the fact that we've added trillions of dollars a debt

171
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 4: over months to the national debt. Again, a million seconds

172
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 4: twelve days, a billion seconds, a billion seconds thirty two years,

173
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,359
Speaker 4: a trillion seconds thirty three thousand years. That's the difference

174
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 4: between a million, a billion, and a trillion, right, And

175
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: so these numbers, these these numbers matter what they're talking about,

176
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 4: But they're not talking about policy, They're not talking about

177
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 4: any issue of substance. What they talk about on these

178
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 4: Sunday shows is politics and the political implication of everything.

179
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: So the government shutdown is never covered through a prism

180
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: of what is the debate even about. You can't even

181
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 4: find mention on most of these shows about what the

182
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: core disagreement is at this point over what it is

183
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: the government is shut down about which matters? Which matters

184
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 4: because now suddenly ice is in the airports without their mass,

185
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 4: and that's okay, But when it comes to the cities

186
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: where they're terrorizing the population with their mass, Trump would

187
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: rather shut the government down, shut the Homeland Security Department down,

188
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 4: shut the Coastguard down. Democrats Democrats say, Democrats say, know

189
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 4: about this, right, So this is this is all of

190
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 4: it is a all of it is an exercise right

191
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: at some level, and in trying to get to the

192
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: root of of what's happening. And in the case of

193
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: and in the case of these protests, there's no bearing,

194
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 4: no pulse taken towards what the meaning of nine million

195
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 4: people on the street may be a week into the

196
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 4: spring of an election year that's two hundred and twenty

197
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 4: days away. Like, what was what was the disposition of

198
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 4: Chris and Welker a week into the administration? What was

199
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: the Welker? What was what was the disposition of all

200
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 4: of these Sunday shows when Trump was getting started? What

201
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 4: what if you had postulated right on that that first

202
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: or second Sunday show that by the time you got

203
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: to the spring of twenty twenty six, he had a

204
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: knocked down the White House and there'd be nine million

205
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: people in the streets, right And I asked them, I said, well,

206
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: do you do you think that's gonna be news? Do

207
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 4: you think that'll be politically significant? What do you think

208
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 4: their answer would have been? And and and and then

209
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: then if you look back at them and say, you

210
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: know what, that's not the news. You know what the

211
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 4: news is. The news is that on NBC News and

212
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: CBS News and ABC News and CNN News and Fox

213
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: News and all the news. It didn't even happen, didn't

214
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: even happen. Really small protests, small gatherings, two thousand people,

215
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 4: two thousand people, few thousand malecontents. This it's whack jobs,

216
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 4: the nutters of the country. Well, the same people talk

217
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: about the return of Jesus Christ at the edge of

218
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 4: war with Iran and the parachute jump. They're they're planning

219
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 4: between bitcoin sales. It's outrageous.

220
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, great points. You know, the underscoring, not

221
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: just the dereliction.

222
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: Of what mainstream it is. Trump was right. I mean,

223
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: if you think about it today, Trump was right.

224
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: Trump was right. Is the enemy of the people. That

225
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 2: is what media has become. And to your point again,

226
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: you know, if if if anybody else in the middle

227
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: of a war, right decided that they were going to host,

228
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 2: you know, a gathering on Air Force one, any other

229
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: president in the history of the United States a gathering

230
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: on Air Force one.

231
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 3: The doctor reporters talk about the war.

232
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 2: They would talk about the war, they would talk about

233
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: what's going on interran They wouldn't bring a series of

234
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: renderings of their ballroom talking about Corinthian marble.

235
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: We'll get to that coming up in just t minutes.

236
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: Spending ninety percent of their time talking about that, while

237
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: minimizing and dismissing questions about starvation in Iran, darkness in Iran,

238
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: troops on the ground in Iran, all the while at home,

239
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: nine million people are literally flooding the streets begging for change,

240
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: asking for cheaper gas, cheaper groceries, an end to a

241
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: war that's all about Jeffrey Epstein and distraction that's costing

242
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 2: two fucking billion dollars a day, Steve, two billion dollars

243
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: a day. That's not getting reported. No No one's talking

244
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: about that. No one's talking about how they've added since

245
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: that thirty seven trillion dollar budget. Everybody's like, we're gonna

246
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: have four trillion to the budget. They've added another three trillion.

247
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: That deficit is now forty trillion dollars. No one's talking

248
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: about that, nobody. Nobody's talking about the sacrifice of ten

249
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: thousand troops which are scheduled to be deployed to carg Island.

250
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: Nobody's talking about that. They're just talking about what Donald

251
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: Trump wants to do. And then we get literally a

252
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: series of the most ridiculous comments for Trump last night

253
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: on Air Force One, the day after the biggest protest

254
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: against any regime, any administration in the history the storied, gloried,

255
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: blood soaked history of the United States. Nine million people

256
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: showed up, more than any ever in the history of

257
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: that country. And we're talking about fucking ballrooms and Corinthian marble.

258
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 2: That's it. That's what got covered. That's the state of

259
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: that union. To your point. And so for someone like

260
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: Kristen Welker, who I know you like, I mean, and

261
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: you could take Fox News and CBS right out of

262
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 2: the mix. The fact that nobody's talking about that and

263
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 2: they refuse to means one of two things to me.

264
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 3: A they're scared or B they're scared.

265
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: Mainstream media is absolutely fucking petrified.

266
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 4: To the guy, I have no idea why, but but

267
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 4: they but they are. And and this is it has

268
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: the danger of sending out a false signal too. And

269
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 4: I think this is this is very important for for

270
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 4: a couple of different a couple of different reasons. But

271
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 4: you're you're gonna have a Democratic majority in the House

272
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 4: and the Senate with Trump in the White House, and

273
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: then you're gonna have a Democratic House at a Senate

274
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 4: with a with a Democrat in the White House. And

275
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 4: and very substantial, very substantial majorities, and and what we

276
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 4: do with that as a country is gonna be very

277
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 4: very important. It's very important for the Democratic Party. John

278
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 4: Kennedy once said, what's the purpose of a great party

279
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 4: if it doesn't serve a great, a great national purpose.

280
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 4: And we have to we have to begin the process

281
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 4: of cleaning all of this up. And and in order

282
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 4: to do that, after after two decades plus of mostly

283
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: government failure, we have to do something in opposition together

284
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 4: that's easy, that we can all agree on, and what

285
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 4: we should all be able to agree on. Even the

286
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 4: people who say I don't care about this, there's a

287
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 4: there's a writer who I think is one of the

288
00:19:53,720 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 4: best writers on on on substack, Dan Barkoff, emergency room

289
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 4: physician from from Vermont Annapolis graduate and Dan Barcroft's like,

290
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 4: I don't care about this subject explicitly all of the

291
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: people that hold that position their compromising. This is to

292
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 4: understand that there's a lot of us who care a

293
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 4: lot about what I'm about to say, right, and that

294
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 4: is that is we want whatever Trump builds there on

295
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 4: on on those grounds, on those eighteen acres, we want

296
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 4: a knockdown he builds a victory arch. We want a knockdown.

297
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 4: What the letters that he put on the Kennedy Center.

298
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 4: By the way, Robert Kennedy defamed his uncle John John

299
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 4: Kennedy by saying explicitly Donald Trump was a better president

300
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: than John Kennedy, which is ludicrous, absurd. John Kennedy literally

301
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 4: saved the world at a at a moment of nuclear

302
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 4: peril with wisdom and shrewdness and guts. An incredible, incredible leader, visionary,

303
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 4: the complete opposite to Trump taking taking those those those

304
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 4: letters off the building. It all has to come down.

305
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 4: And then and then what you can't see, the soft

306
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: tissue damage, the internal oregon damage to the Republic. We

307
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 4: got to fix that too. Even deeper than that, the

308
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: wounds to the heart, the broken affections in the country

309
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: after after twelve years of division. But that, but that

310
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 4: starts with a collective act that makes clear it will

311
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: be no remnant of this left behind, no remnant of

312

Speaker 2: need to pay and I know you will. I mean,

327
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: everybody here watching pays special attention to not only the

328
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: minimization of minimalization of what's going on and around. I

329
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 2: want you to pay special attention to the uh sickly

330
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 2: tenor of one Donald Trump and what's really important to

331
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: him in the middle of a war that is absolutely

332
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 2: destroying the United States, at a time when the United

333
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: States is swirling the economic and moral toilet.

334
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: Let's play this clip. If we can't, Mike, things sill

335
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: and under.

336
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 5: Budget, and all of this money, all the money pages

337
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 5: are paid by myself and donors.

338
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 4: It's all donors.

339
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 5: There's not one time of government money going.

340
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 6: Into the ballroom.

341
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 9: Now the military is building a big complex under.

342
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 5: The ballroom, which has come out recently because of a

343
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 5: stupid lawsuit that was loud. When the military is building

344
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: a massive complex under the ballroom, and that's.

345
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 9: Under construction, and we're doing very well, so we're ahead

346
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 9: of schedule, that's part of it. Now the ballroom essentually

347
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 9: becomes a shed for what's being built under the military,

348
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 9: including from drones and including from any other thing. The

349
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 9: glass when the windows you see the big windows, the

350
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 9: glass is extremely think it's high grade plans from all

351
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 9: of the windows are a foot room. I think the

352
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 9: Times road jeeve some of the windows affect. We have

353
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 9: no fake windows.

354
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 3: They don't have any fake windows.

355
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: And it'll have a magic bunker and stupid lawsuit and

356
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 2: really thick glass.

357
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 3: It's the best other things. Steve thoughts.

358
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 4: There, he is a he is a whack job. He

359
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 4: is a whack job.

360
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

361
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: And when you see that boom mic in front of

362
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 4: the hanging hanging down in front of his face, right,

363
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 4: it's a it's a portrait that if if you're coming

364
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: of age fifty years from now, seventy years from now,

365
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 4: and you're trying to figure out what happened I mean,

366
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: there's no video recording, so Abraham Lincoln, we don't we

367
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: don't have his voice. We're gonna have this guy's voice.

368
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: There's a should be a lot in the robot video,

369
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 4: the beautiful first lady there, We're gonna get to the

370
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 4: bottom of, right, who who dressed them together like that?

371
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 10: That?

372
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 4: Right? And they told her that like the robots, and

373
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 4: to be wearing white, and that you should go and compliment.

374
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 4: Not in contrast, we're.

375
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: All dress like the robot, honey.

376
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: And dress like dress like the robot. And and so

377
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 4: this whack job with with this ballroom. If you if

378
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 4: you didn't have that mic hanging down, you just be like,

379
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 4: what what happened here? Right?

380
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 10: Like?

381
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 4: What what happened? But you know with the mic hanging

382
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 4: down that there's some sort of partnership going on, right what?

383
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: And what you realize is that without that partnership, without

384
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 4: the symbiosis, that you really can't see without the banality

385
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 4: of the question you people people say there's no such

386
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: thing as stupid questions. I totally disagree. And and so

387
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 4: this is the this is the result of of of

388
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 4: of a waterfall of stupid questions. I really wasn't until

389
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 4: a month or so ago, yet anybody ever ask them

390
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 4: a question of philosophically about anything. And after twelve years

391
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: of rot on top of rot, on top of another

392
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: layer of rot, all of it necrotizing like a like

393
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 4: a flesh eating bacteria, a worm that's gotten into the

394
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 4: wood the Republic. After twelve years of this, you're you're

395
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 4: you're supposed to watch this with some ballast, I suppose

396
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 4: like it's normal on the edge of the eighty second

397
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 4: air board jumping into Iran to have this whack job

398
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 4: talking about his fucking ball room from Air Force one,

399
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 4: which is a corrupt act paid for in tributes by

400
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 4: every corporation in the country. And each image demands a condemnation,

401
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 4: demand a million words in rebuke, but more important than that,

402
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: demands a plan that it can never happen again. And

403
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, you're gonna be like fifteen Democrats who

404
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 4: run for president, and they're all going to sort into

405
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 4: different lanes. And we'll talk a lot about this in

406
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 4: the months. In the months ahead, someone's gonna go out

407
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 4: there and they're gonna say some version of I don't

408
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 4: care about the ballroom, I care about the little children.

409
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 4: I care about the senior on Medicare, and it will

410
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 4: be some platitude. There'll be there'll be some person who

411
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 4: tells them, well, we did a focus group, we did

412
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 4: a dial test, we did a poll, and and he

413
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 4: answered all the bullshit will be some version of affordability.

414
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 4: Back when, like when they were saying that ice doesn't matter,

415
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 4: it's not an issue. No one cares. People care, kind

416
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 4: of millions people care. His ballroom is an obscenity. It's

417
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 4: a tumor. It is a canker deformity, and it cannot

418
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: be allowed to stand. And it deserves constant castigation by Democrats, constant, constant.

419
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 4: And I'm telling you, when when some Democrat goes out there,

420
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 4: he goes, yep, time to move on. Care about the ballroom.

421
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: It's going to be a be a profound mistake.

422
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll vote for the guy.

423
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: If I'm an American, I'm a voting for the guy

424
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: that's like that thing comes down, his name comes off

425
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: of every fucking building and we're going to turn that

426
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 2: Katari jet into scrap. That's the guy I'm voting for.

427
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 2: That's who I'm voting for, or a woman, doesn't matter

428
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: who it is, you know, also taking away from the

429
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: fact that we're covering obviously dead air in the name

430
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: of the podcast or the name of the substack Live,

431
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 2: what wasn't covered as Trump is pimping his ballroom Satellite

432
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: images if we have those of the a WAK and

433
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: some strato tankers at a base in Saudi Arabia, Mike,

434
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 2: if you can pull those up, that would be phenomenal.

435
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 3: We only found out about this.

436
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: Again, more important things to address than ballrooms. This is

437
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: what happened at any a base in Saudi Arabia where

438
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: the United States of America was literally staging surveillance, bombings, refuelings,

439
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera for Iran. Iran hit them so hard,

440
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: and this was a week ago. Iran hit them so

441
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 2: hard they took out four and a half billion dollars

442
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: worth of avionics, including one of three a wax that

443
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: they it's the brains for most of these operations. They

444
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: now only have two left. They don't have a lot

445
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 2: of these strato tankers left either, because I think they

446
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: took out three or four of them. We're now up

447
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 2: to about twenty one different aircraft of different varieties that

448
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: Iran has picked off We're now up to two carriers

449
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: that are basically inoperable.

450
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 3: There you go, you can see.

451
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: And Russia allegedly, according to the Ukrainian government, gave these guys.

452
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: They gave Iran the coordinates as to where to bomb,

453
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: how to bomb, when to bomb, and how to attack.

454
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 2: And this is all intel that has been sourced and

455
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: verified over the weekend that all came from Russia. And

456
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: not a word from Donald Trump. You combine that with

457
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: now another four hundred US men and women who were

458
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 2: injured and twelve over the last seventy two hours who

459
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: have been killed. Not a word from this regime, no

460
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: fucking cabinet meeting. And it's not just that I don't

461
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: fucking see any of this, Steve. I don't see it

462
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: on ABC, I don't see it on NBC. And when

463
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 2: you do see it, it's minimized, like the tens of

464
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 2: thousands of people showed up and it's the exact same

465
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: nuanced conversation that they're having. That's how dangerous this is

466
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: in the United States. That's what's going on over there.

467
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: And again, dereliction of duty. None of this made it

468
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: into any one of the Sunday shows this weekend.

469
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: Not a single conversation, not one.

470
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, the the implications of that are just staggering. Staggering. Again,

471
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 4: tell me why.

472
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 3: There's the revised scorecard, and.

473
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: That's the right story, that is, that is how I

474
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 4: would score it. Everyone getting a fucking F and F.

475
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 4: You get an F, they get an F. They get

476
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 4: an F. And everyone's getting an F on the weekend

477
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 4: when they sit there for that White House Correspondence dinner

478
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 4: in advance at the end of April, everyone's getting an F.

479
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 4: Two hundred fifty one years and a week on from

480
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 4: Lexington and Concord, they get an F. They're gonna sit

481
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 4: there and raise a glass to toast Donald Trump. Here's

482
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: a here's another thing. There there is no media with

483
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 4: American forces. There is there is no independent media which

484
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 4: which did not which does not prevent news media from

485
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: covering the American Armforces the old fashioned way. Or you're

486
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 4: gonna get out in to the military communities. You gotta

487
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 4: you gotta understand what's what's happening. Like Pete Pete Hegseth

488
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 4: has has no right to hold hostage the US military

489
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 4: in terms of you meaning we the people have no

490
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 4: idea what it's up to mm hmm. And so so

491
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 4: the other story that that there was essentially was admitted

492
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 4: on the weekend when when you're at the when you're

493
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 4: at the one month point on the war, is that

494
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 4: none of the objectives that Trump laid out as easily

495
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: achieved have been achieved, no one. And so now we're

496
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 4: on the edge of a major escalation and there's no

497
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 4: there's no talk about it. There's no and there's no

498
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: talk about it. And and there's always a pretense that

499
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 4: comes with all these shows is that there's some type

500
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 4: of moral standing that's derivative of a integrity that's obvious,

501
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 4: that's built into the system that well, there's the television,

502
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 4: there's the logo, there's the music. We gotta trust them.

503
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 4: I don't think so. M I don't think so. So

504
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 4: you want to you want to understand why there's a

505
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 4: collapse of trust. And it's been a it's been a

506
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 4: long time, but but it seems like we're reaching the

507
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 4: the zenith, the Marianna's trench, part of the pit right

508
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: at the like at the bottom and at and at

509
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 4: that bottom. Wow, wow, it is a it is a

510
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 4: lamb poon at some level of a authoritarian system. You

511
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 4: can't believe you're watching this in the United States, right, kay?

512
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 4: And and just a few years on from the withdrawal

513
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 4: from Afghanistan, longest war in the history of the country.

514
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 4: A few years on relatively from the withdrawal in Iraq,

515
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 4: and we have Mark Levin and Mark Deson. Mm hm,

516
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 4: you know, two Fox News whack jobs. Yeah, planning an

517
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 4: airborne invasion.

518
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: With yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, with no descent, yeah.

519
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 4: In general, no descent apparently from inside the Pentagon.

520
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 3: Can we play that clip?

521
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a day before this clip, but we're

522
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 2: going to play for you right now. Hanging on one second, Michael,

523
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 2: I'll give you the cube. But the day before Mark

524
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 2: Levin and Marktisen went on and announced the ground troops

525
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: for going into Iran through Donald Trump. Trump puts this

526
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: tweet up, Mark Levin interview, brilliant, Mark Tisan, Fox News

527
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: will discuss the importance. And then the very next day

528
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 2: Trump announces through these two dorks. It's really what they are,

529
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: just a couple of sycophantic dorks that ground troops you're

530
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: going in. It's true social Mark Levin and Marktisen. Can

531
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 2: we play the clip, Mike, This is unbelievable, concerned about you.

532
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 11: Know, dirty bombs and so forth, and song I don't

533
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 11: hear anybody talking about that. That's one of the reasons

534
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 11: the president is focused as much on nuclear missiles as

535
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 11: he is on enrichment.

536
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 3: No, absolutely.

537
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 8: And you know, one of the things people don't realize

538
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 8: is that the leader of Alcado right now the successor

539
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 8: of Osama bin Laden, who we killed, and then i'ma

540
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 8: Zara Hillary who we also killed. The third guy to

541
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 8: take that position is a guy named Sayid al Adel

542
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 8: And you know where he's living right now, Tehran, that's

543
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 8: where his headquarters is. Al Qaeda is no longer in Pakistan,

544
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 8: they're no longer in Iraq. The Califate's been destroyed. They

545
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 8: are in Iran right now, and the al Qaeda has

546
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 8: actually had a cell operating inside Iran. Since nine to eleven,

547
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 8: Al Qaeda and Iran have teamed up for a series

548
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 8: of terrorist attacks against US. People don't realize this, but

549
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 8: we remember the bombings of the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania,

550
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 8: which was.

551
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: Should have been our warning that nine to eleven was coming.

552
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 2: That was planned and the terrorists were trained.

553
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: By Iran for doing that.

554
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 8: Because al Qaeda didn't know how to bring down buildings,

555
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 8: so they turned to Iran. And if we don't get

556
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 8: that enriched uranium and they want to get back at

557
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 8: us for what we've done, the easiest way to do

558
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 8: it would be to give it to al Qaeda and

559
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 8: let them use it for a dirty bombs. So we

560
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 8: have got to get what Donald Trump correctly calls the

561
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 8: nuclear dust before this operation is done.

562
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 11: Why do you think Mark Feastan Literally except us right now,

563
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 11: nobody's actually talking about it.

564
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 4: All the experts aren't talking about it.

565
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 3: The media is not talking about.

566
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 8: Why do you think that is well because the media

567
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 8: has spent spending a lot of time sharing for defeat.

568
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 3: There you go.

569
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 2: Mark Levin goes on to say that the ground troops

570
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 2: are going in, and that was from Donald Trump himself.

571
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 2: And then this morning, let me just kind of bringing

572
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 2: up to speed with Donald Trump's latest tweet. This Wasay six,

573
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: twenty six o'clock this morning. United States of America is

574
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: in serious discussions with a new and more reasonable regime

575
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 2: Steve to end our military operations in Iran. Great progress

576
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: has been made, but if only for any reason, a

577
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: deal is not shortly excuse me, not only not shortly reached,

578
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: which probably will be, and if the horror moves straight

579
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: is not opened up immediately, blah blah blah blah blah,

580
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to attack everyone and everything, power, plants, hospital, schools,

581
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: you name it. It's gone effectively, is what he said

582
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 2: in that truth social post. So to your point, Hail Trump,

583
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 2: Hail well said, hell Trump. But that's just ridiculous to me,

584
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: and it's got to be ridiculous to you. You know,

585
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 2: these shows, these news programs. When you and I grow up,

586
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 2: that was that was a place to go and test

587
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 2: your metal. That was a place to go and sit down, debate,

588
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 2: have a conversation and say, Okay, you know the congressman, senator, lawmaker, you,

589
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 2: this person, that person. You're gonna go and sit in

590
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: front of a panel and you're gonna test your policy.

591
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 2: You're gonna test you know, the the the the the

592
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 2: principles of why you've decided to go to war with

593
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: country X country, why that is no longer the case

594
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 2: and hasn't been for some time. These are just assets

595
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: to the Trump regime. These are just assets to the

596
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: cacistocracy and platforms for what appears to be Donald Trump

597
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 2: conducting an illegal war outside the parameters of getting any

598
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: sort of permission from Congress, because this is how he

599
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 2: does it, not a fucking cabinet meeting, not a not

600
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: a not a press availability, nothing. And if he does

601
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: the press availability, he's not talking about the word dude.

602
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 2: He's talking about fucking Corinthian marble stanchions in his new ballroom.

603
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 4: There are two elements to this that I think matter

604
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 4: a great deal, and so Mark Decent. First off, is

605
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 4: a guy that I used to have lunch with at

606
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 4: the Bush White House, and it is incredible. Incredible doesn't

607
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 4: really begin to describe it that in twenty twenty six

608
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 4: you're listening to somebody who is saying the same things

609
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 4: today he was saying back then about the threat posed,

610
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 4: but back then by by Iraqi weapons. But at any rate,

611
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 4: he's somehow using nine to eleven and even the attack

612
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 4: on the USS cole, the Clinton era bombings in Tanzania

613
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 4: to suggest that now we're at war in Iran, which

614
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 4: we must all support because al Qaeda is in Iran.

615
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 4: And he says, well, the leader of al Qaeda is

616
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 4: in Iran. Then he says, contradicting himself, that it's a

617
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 4: cell that's in Iran, And of course al Qaeda is

618
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 4: a Sunni Muslim organization and Iran is a Shia Muslim state.

619
00:41:56,040 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 4: And so once again the implication is that we have

620
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 4: to act in defense against something that hasn't occurred yet, preemptively. Always,

621
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 4: and no matter what the equation, always is, we gotta

622
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 4: send more troops because the argument ultimately becomes the only

623
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 4: way out is through. And so when these idiots put

624
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 4: in two marine expeditionary units, it's five thousand men in total,

625
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 4: and they drop another couple thousand as part of the

626
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 4: airborne brigades, and we have to go rescue those guys

627
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 4: because they're stranded. That's going to take many, many thousands

628
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 4: of more troops. And there's not a plan. This is

629
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 4: all being done as an improvisation, and it's a disaster

630
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 4: unfolding in real time. And the second part of what

631
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 4: I was gonna say is, and I don't know what

632
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 4: the explanation is why there is not a daily news

633
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 4: conference event, not by the Democrats to seize hold of

634
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 4: this and strike at it.

635
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're if you're a Democratic party, is just

636
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: mystifying to me. What about having your own war updates

637
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 2: with real updates on losses, whether it be you know,

638
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: men and women, whether it be equipment, whether it be

639
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 2: like what about, what about some kind of accountable press

640
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: conference where you know, the Democrats stand up to the stump,

641
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 2: to your point, and they deliver the news of the

642
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 2: day about everything that went on in Iran that day.

643
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 3: Why aren't they doing that?

644
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 2: Same reason why they didn't do it with the Epstein files,

645
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 2: same reason why they didn't show up every single day

646
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 2: with victims in front of the White House and say

647
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: we need to come in. It's just missed opportunity, missed opportunity,

648
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 2: missed opportunity. And you know, the fascinating thing for me, Steve,

649
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 2: is that Trump is allowed to continue to engineer this

650
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 2: sim this reality that people continue to live in.

651
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 3: And there's a video.

652
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 2: That he put out and I thought, man, this absolutely

653
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: fucking is Donald Trump.

654
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 3: This is what he's doing.

655
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: He's inventing the future, but he's also inventing the present. Mike,

656
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 2: if you could play this clip to the White House

657
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: put out, it's truly spectacular.

658
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 3: Let's watch it.

659
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 6: America is ending the threat posed by this radical regime,

660
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 6: decimating Iran's capabilities with Operation Epic Fear is something that

661
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 6: nobody has ever seen anything quite like it. We have

662
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 6: the most powerful military in the world.

663
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 5: In the meantime, the conflict in Irun also makes it

664
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 5: absolutely vital for the radical left Democrats in Congress to

665
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 5: immediately end their dangerous shutdown of our Department of Homeland

666
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 5: Security for forty two days. They've tried to completely eliminate

667
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 5: funding for the number one duty of government.

668
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 4: Which is keeping America safe.

669
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 3: They want to have our reporters be open again.

670
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 10: Over the past fourteen months, the Trump administration is the

671
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 10: chief perhaps the most dramatic one year turnaround of any

672
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 10: nation in all of history. Our country is prospering again,

673
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 10: Our economy is booming again, and America is respected again

674
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 10: all over the world, perhaps like never before.

675
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 5: And in America, we don't fear the future.

676
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 4: We invent the future.

677
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: He also invents reality. Stee of your thoughts.

678
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 4: Again, I don't understand why there is not on a

679
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 4: constant basis response to that by the Democratic Party. Opportunistically,

680
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 4: if it was, if it was if it was a

681
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 4: football team, what you would say is get the ball,

682
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 4: get the ball, hit the ball right, pursue the ball,

683
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 4: be aggressive and what you want to see. There are

684
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 4: some outstanding Democrats in the Congress. In every day mid

685
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 4: afternoon occasionally maybe more than once a day. The occasion

686
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 4: is is for groups teams to go out there and

687
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 4: they should compete with one another. They should strive to

688
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 4: be funny. They should use video elements. They should have

689
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 4: a video that answers that video at the open that

690
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,280
Speaker 4: laughs at him, that mocks him. This is a catastrophe

691
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 4: that's swirling all around. And by the way, the taxpayer

692
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 4: paid for propaganda. I had always understood that that was illegal.

693
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 4: If you had said to me that someone who had

694
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 4: a high level White House job and worked in the

695
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 4: political space and the communication space just at a conceptual

696
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 4: level around what they're doing, I would have told you

697
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 4: that you can't do that. But there's apparently a lot

698
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 4: of things that a lot of us thought that you

699
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 4: couldn't do that you could do, and not only do it,

700
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 4: but do it with impunity, which means and you can't

701
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 4: take this for granted that someone is doing this because

702
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 4: there's no one doing the obvious, which is a news

703
00:47:54,239 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 4: conference event. But there should be a team somewhere of

704
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 4: the smartest lawyers, the smartest legislative analysts drafting a ream

705
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 4: of legislation that will need to be passed. That that

706
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 4: crashes the power structure, the accumulations of power in the

707
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 4: hands of so few people across agriculture, across technology, across media,

708
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 4: across government, and across the military industrial complex. That that

709
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 4: has to be what the Democratic Party becomes for, because

710
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 4: there is too much power in too few hands, and

711
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 4: the amount of power that exists in a society, it's

712
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 4: a constant. Never goes up, and it never goes down.

713
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,760
Speaker 4: It's like air in a balloon. It just gets sweet

714
00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 4: squeezed from one compartment to a next to next, and

715
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 4: we have to squeeze it back into the compartment that

716
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,839
Speaker 4: serves we the people. In the end, you could sit

717
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 4: and you can look at FDR. You make a really

718
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 4: serious economic argument that there that there was, that there

719
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 4: was nothing he did, uh pertaining to the New Deal

720
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 4: that impacted in a positive way the American economy. UH,

721
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 4: that he prolonged uh the economic impact of the of

722
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 4: the Great Depression. You can, you can, you can have

723
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 4: that argument. You can you can have that debate. But

724
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 4: but I think, but I think undeniably those programs saved

725
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 4: capitalism because capitalism and the free market is a system,

726
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 4: like most of the elements of democratic institutions, that are

727
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 4: sustained by faith, by belief, and when belief and faith collapses,

728
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 4: the system goes. And so we have to we have

729
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 4: to have laws to strengthen faith in our systems of

730
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 4: trust across the economy. This guy is selling a war

731
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 4: that his family is enriching themselves from. We're not going

732
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 4: to talk about it. We're not going to cover it.

733
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 4: Just like the nine million people who aren't on the street,

734
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 4: come on.

735
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 2: Bad deal, Bad deal, bring up a couple of very

736
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: good points to end the show today. You know, one

737
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: of the one of the things that that's that's really

738
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 2: come out of this, you know, we talk about what's

739
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: not getting covered are is the pushback in that in

740
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 2: that world about Donald Trump? And you know that pushback

741
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 2: isn't coming from the Democratic Party. I think it's coming

742
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 2: from Canada a little bit. It's not really coming from

743
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,240
Speaker 2: America's institutions. I mean, you see it in dribs and drabs.

744
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 2: But the pushback that I've seen, you know, and this

745
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: is going to sound crazy. Steve from the Iranian regime

746
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 2: with Lego movies at has been more effective in battling

747
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has been more effective. And this is the

748
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 2: dangerous part, because there I am sharing Iranian propaganda.

749
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 3: This morning on Twitter.

750
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 2: Of an Iranian regime killing a whole bunch of Lego

751
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 2: US Lego soldiers in front of carg Island.

752
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 3: And when I watched that, I laughed, right, I'm like,

753
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 3: oh my god, these guys are really good at this shit.

754
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: But that's the kind of warped time we live in

755
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,919
Speaker 2: right now, where there is no pushback for the Trump

756
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 2: regime inside the United States unless you're part of the

757
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: Same of America movement, unless you showed up in one

758
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 2: of the nine million people this week, and there's no

759
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 2: pushback from mainstream media. But this hardline Muslim dictatorial country

760
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 2: is putting out lego movies that are about two minutes

761
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 2: and forty five seconds long that are doing more to

762
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 2: tune the world into the disaster that Donald Trump is

763
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 2: currently curating for the American people in the Middle East

764
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 2: than anything I've seen.

765
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 4: If you were to have a soon, there's going to

766
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 4: be a lot of meetings that commence around people who

767
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 4: wish to be the Democratic nominee for president and wish

768
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 4: to be the person that has the responsibility primarily to

769
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 4: k this on, to engage it, to to defeat it.

770
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 4: And there's going to be a lot of philosophies put

771
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 4: out around the table about what has to be done,

772
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 4: what has to be said, what the campaign has to

773
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 4: be about about about the things that have to be tested,

774
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 4: and we can say this and and and we can't

775
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 4: say that, and so on and so forth, YadA, YadA, YadA.

776
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 4: And the critical thing around all of these tables, as

777
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 4: all of that is is coming together, is to appreciate

778
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 4: that in this moment is you're gonna have to talk

779
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 4: with conviction, with with fluency about what is happening, why

780
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 4: it's happening, and and why it why it matters, why

781
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 4: it matters to you. And you're gonna you're gonna have

782
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 4: to start bye by going out and explaining to people

783
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 4: what's going on, what's what's happening, what's what's what's what's

784
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 4: happening in the country, what what happened in the country,

785
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 4: How did we get here? And that's and that's going

786
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 4: to be the first order of business. That's the requirement

787
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 4: requirement of leadership in this in this in this moment.

788
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 4: M HM is to be is to be able to explain,

789
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 4: to lead out of this disaster.

790
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,719
Speaker 2: Do you know anybody that has the ability to communicate

791
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 2: like that on that side of the equation. I think

792
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 2: the the person that I look at if you made

793
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 2: me right now look at the Democratic candidates, and he

794
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 2: made me rank them. I don't I don't want to

795
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,360
Speaker 2: put a rank on Pritzker, but I'm.

796
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 4: Gonna I'm gonna put I'm gonna I'm gonna push Pretzker forward, right.

797
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 4: I think Pritzker is going to go deep into the process, right,

798
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna he's a he's a top tier presidential candidate.

799
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 4: But if I if I were to look at them

800
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 4: right now, everyone who was thinking of running for president,

801
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 4: and he gave them a rank first round draft pick

802
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 4: in this in this for John Osoff means he's got

803
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 4: to win the Senate race. But I I look at

804
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 4: John Osoff and I and I'm and I'm kind of

805
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 4: like that that that may be to me, that's the

806
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 4: first round pick right now. Really, that's if I was

807
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,439
Speaker 4: if I was drafting, if I have the NFL team

808
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 4: approach here, that's my that's maybe my first round pick.

809
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 4: He's I think he's exceptionally talented. I look at I

810
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 4: look at Mark Kelly. Mark Kelly fits the moment. He

811
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 4: would not normally be on a on a twenty year basis,

812
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 4: looking back over the ask five or six elections, he

813
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 4: would have a lot of deficits as a national candidate

814
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:14,720
Speaker 4: from those elections. Right. But timing is an important aspect

815
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 4: in all of this. And and and the time matches

816
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:23,760
Speaker 4: his disposition in a way that I that I think

817
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 4: is very good. And you have when you run for president,

818
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,480
Speaker 4: you have people you have to fill the moment, you

819
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 4: have to meet the moment. And and he seems to

820
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 4: be a figure he's getting bigger to me.

821
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 3: Any Carney like dark horses. Mark Karney like dark horses

822
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 3: out there the United States.

823
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 4: I think you're going to have a lot of people running.

824
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, it's a character

825
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 4: test You've got to be You're going to have a

826
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 4: lot of space to be able to go out and

827
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 4: say things, say things that are consequential. Thing that the

828
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 4: thing that I'm going to try to do is be

829
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 4: very is I want to be fair when I talk

830
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 4: about it, obviously, but at the same time, you to

831
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 4: be honest, there's a poll out not so long ago,

832
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 4: a lot of people, mostly mostly between sixty and eighty,

833
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 4: to be honest, they love Pee Boota Judge and I

834
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 4: love them. And there was a poll out, major poll

835
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 4: that had him at zero percent with black supporters. And

836
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 4: and so if I'm in a campaign around Pee Boota Judge,

837
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 4: I look at that poll and I say what And

838
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 4: the very first thing I want to do is I

839
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 4: want to do some real polling. Well, if you're starting

840
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 4: off with zero percent, one percent, two percent support with

841
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 4: black voters a Democrat primary, it's over. The dream is dead.

842
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,439
Speaker 4: There's a lot of things you can do to serve

843
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 4: the country. You may be an exceptional cabinet secretary, but

844
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 4: you're not going to be the president. You have this

845
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 4: situation in California right now where because of the open primary,

846
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 4: it is not inconceivable that you would have two Democrats

847
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 4: lose to the top two Republicans in this jungle primary

848
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 4: where the Republicans finish in rank order one and two

849
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 4: and are in the general election against one another. That

850
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 4: could happen. Fox News commentator could be the Republican nominee

851
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 4: running against the crazy sheriff in California, that could be

852
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 4: the choice.

853
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 2: Get news anchors to make up governors and right.

854
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 4: So the party politics, right, yeah, like if you like

855
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 4: that's the thing you want to get into office, right,

856
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 4: It's like, man, you so all you gotta do is

857
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 4: get on Fox News, right.

858
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 2: I wonder how many of those people are just looking

859
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 2: at their jobs, going, you know what, Shannon Bream, Shannon

860
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 2: Bream's probably sitting there going, you know, if I.

861
01:00:09,760 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 3: Just if I just keep if I just keep it going,

862
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 3: there's Sean Duffy there, he is.

863
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 2: If I just keep this grift going, if I just

864
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 2: if I just keep serving my master, I I too

865
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 2: might be the secretary of something I'm wholly fucking unqualified for.

866
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:33,439
Speaker 4: Last thing, that all of the Jesus talk with Pete

867
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 4: Hagseeth should be leading the news crazy stuff.

868
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we missed. We missed Pete today.

869
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 4: Crazy stuff talk about his apo apocalyptic Jesus talk. And

870
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know when people got intimidated about

871
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 4: talking about this stuff, but we have. We have a

872
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 4: separation of church in state in the United States. It's

873
01:00:58,960 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 4: that way.

874
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do a show specifically on that. I could

875
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 2: go for miles as an apostate evangelical I can understand,

876
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 2: I hear it, I can smell it, I can see it.

877
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,520
Speaker 2: The End Times Army getting bullshit, four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,

878
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 2: Holy war garbage knocking out the teeth of the ungodly.
