Former President Donald Trump 7 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 3: going to be arraigned in DC today for those charges 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 3: that they brought against him, you know, the indictment that 9 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 3: just came down. That's going to happen right after this show. 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 3: I think he's scheduled to be there, so he is 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 3: facing these four felony charges.

You can argue New York, Texas. 16 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: There's others, but you get what I mean. A debate 17 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 3: for the ages looks like it is in fact going 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: to happen. Our own Sean Hannity, I believe, will be 19 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 3: the moderator of that debate. I think it's well, I'll 20 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 3: tell you what I think about this idea. Obviously, I'm 21 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 3: excited by it. We'll get into that a little bit later, 22 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 3: Anthony Fauci's replacement revealed as a doctor who is obsessed 23 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: with face masks in school and still doesn't shake hands 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 3: because of fear of COVID.

This was because Hunter is such a 42 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: good lawyer. That's what they want you to believe this 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 3: is because Hunter's a guy who really understands those foreign 44 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 3: energy markets in Ukraine. And I don't even know what 45 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: they are gonna pretend he was doing with China, but anyway, 46 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:44,839 Speaker 3: he was collecting money. 47 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: He was the bagman. 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: He was walking around passing the hat for the Biden 49 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 3: family and they were putting millions of dollars into We 50 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 3: have more details on that after the testimony of Devin 51 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 3: Archer earlier this week, but I do want to start now. 52 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 3: Yesterday we talked about how they are going to the 53 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 3: most extreme lengths to undermine Donald Trump, not just with 54 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: the law and the weaponization of the DOJ against Trump, 55 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 3: but also in the narrative that they are presenting. I've 56 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: been telling everybody in recent weeks that the Biden twenty 57 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: twenty four campaign is just going to be a fire 58 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 3: hose of falsehoods. 59 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 2: It is going to be hysteria on. 60 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 3: Blast about the end of democracy, the existential threat, the 61 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 3: destruction of our systems, the criminal Donald Trump, all of this, 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 3: all of this and whatever you think the final result 63 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: of the primary is going to be. We all have 64 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: talked about the numbers look pretty clear, but it could 65 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: always change. This is still going to be what they 66 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: run with, certainly until the primary is decided, right, They're 67 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: going to be hammering Republicans with this. And yesterday had 68 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 3: that clip over on MSNBC where they specifically, they specifically 69 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: made reference to Trump as a threat to This was 70 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: a best schloss the historian right, a threat to the 71 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: nation along the lines of Osama bin Laden, named Osama 72 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: bin Laden and Pearl Harbor, and I said, this is insane. 73 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 3: We all know this is insane, but I want to 74 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 3: point out that this is something you're going to hear 75 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 3: a lot more of. That it is crazy, and that 76 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 3: it is reckless, by no means stops Democrats from deploying 77 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: it if they think it will work, if they think 78 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: this grotesque defamation of a former and possible future president 79 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: as being as bad as Osama bin Laden, if they 80 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 3: think they can get away with that, they will. 81 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: They will keep pushing it. 82 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: In fact, I think you're seeing right now the beginning 83 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: of the Biden twenty twenty four reel life campaign. And 84 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 3: if you think Newsom is going to parachute, in gonna 85 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 3: be the same thing, folks. 86 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 2: It's not going to change. 87 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 3: So whether you agree or disagree about my prediction on 88 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: the primary for the Democrats or the Democrat re election 89 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: campaign of Biden. Overall, this is going to be the 90 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: whole theory. Trump is a monster. Look at all these 91 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: criminal charges they have leveled against him, and they're going 92 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: to say things like what one of the Capitol Hill 93 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: police officers. 94 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: You know, this guy who. 95 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: Testified at the J six committee hearings and has been 96 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 3: on CNN constantly. Remember some of the favorite recent guests 97 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 3: at places like CNN to attack Trump. I think this 98 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 3: is worthwhile. Remember Michael Avanatti, Remember how he was a 99 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: useful tool in attacking Trump. 100 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: I remember this very well. And they put him on CNN. 101 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 3: He was on CNN I think more than any other 102 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 3: person who wasn't an anchor or a daily correspondent for 103 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 3: a period of like three months. And then we found 104 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: out he's a disgrace to his profession and really to humanity, 105 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: and he was stealing millions of dollars from his clients. 106 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 3: And now he's in federal prison. Right, Remember that they 107 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: were even little whispers maybe Michael Avinati will run against Trump. 108 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 3: So CNN will use anyone for any purpose as long 109 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: as it serves their political agenda and you know, they 110 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 3: just cast off the last replacement for Jeff Zucker, and 111 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: Zucker's fingerprints were all over it if you look at 112 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: the report in the media. But because that guy who 113 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: was running CNN was trying to make it slightly less 114 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: left wing, insane, not fair, but a little bit less. 115 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: You know, Trump is Hitler, right, that was the direction. 116 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: That's unacceptable. Here you have over at CNN the on 117 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: air analyst Michael Fanonde, who was one of the Capitol 118 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 3: Hill police officers on January sixth. You know what, I 119 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 3: just I want you to hear it from him first. 120 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: This is on national television. He's talking about a former 121 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 3: president of the United States. 122 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: Play clip three. 123 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: When I first learned about the indictment, I had a 124 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 4: long conversation with a friend of mine, Ryan Riley. I 125 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 4: told him how proud I felt to be an American 126 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,119 Speaker 4: at that moment, much in the way that I did 127 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 4: when I learned that our military had killed Asama bin Laden. 128 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 4: I just felt incredibly proud. These two seem cocredibly proud 129 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 4: to have been. 130 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: I'm sorry to cut you off, but the why why 131 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: are why? 132 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 4: In particular, I believe they're comparable in what way Osama 133 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: bin Laden was a terrorist who committed a horrific act 134 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: against American people and against our republic. And I believe 135 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 4: that Donald Trump is a terrorist who committed horrific acts 136 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 4: against the American people. 137 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: This is insane, you know it. I know it. It's 138 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: a disgrace. 139 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: It's not going to be any problem over at CNN though, 140 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 3: if anything, their audience was all nodding in agreement. Yeah, yeah, 141 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 3: that's right, Trump, just like Ben Laden. We all know 142 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 3: the lengths of the United States went to to get 143 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: bin Laden. I was in the counter Terrorism Center of 144 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: the CIA. I remember the bin Laden unit. I remember 145 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: what people were trying to do to track him down. 146 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: And we know what our Navy seals did when we 147 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: finally did get a location for him. But to call 148 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: Donald Trump a terrorist along the lines of a truly 149 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 3: psychopathic mass murderer who brought about the death of, of course, 150 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: a few thousand human beings on September eleventh, but also 151 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: led to massive conflicts in the Middle East and all 152 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 3: the destruction and death that came as a reprisal in 153 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere as a result of the 154 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: actions of Bin Laden. If you're willing to say that 155 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 3: about Trump to make some kind of comparison between Trump 156 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: and beIN lauded. You will say absolutely anything, and you 157 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: will believe absolutely anything. You are terrifying to society, or 158 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 3: you should be, because you are in the grips of 159 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 3: an obvious mass hysteria. Your mind is no longer capable 160 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 3: of functioning to discern fact from fiction or reality from belief. 161 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 3: On even the most fundamental level. 162 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: Trump is a terrorist along the lines have been laden. 163 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 3: It's not the first time they said it, my friends, right, 164 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: That's why I'm pointing this out, said yesterday on MSNBC, 165 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: and then it was said later on CNN. 166 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: And here we are. 167 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: Joy at the indictment of Trump, like the joy of 168 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: the capture kill mission for Osama bin Ladden. You any 169 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 3: Democrats come forward and say, well, that's not that's crazy. 170 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: You know, there's some basic ways you could look at 171 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: this comparison and understand just how crazy it is. Did 172 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: half the country ever vote for Osama bin Laden? I mean, 173 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: this is truly lunatic level stuff, but it actually fits in. 174 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: Right. 175 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: Having two federal indictments, a New York City indictment soon 176 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 3: to be in Atlanta indictment so four criminal indictments of 177 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 3: Donald Trump. And yesterday we talked to Julie Kelly. I said, 178 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 3: in the first hour of the show, we were talking 179 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 3: about this. I thought there might be a superseding indictment. 180 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 3: Third hour of the show, Julie says, Yeah, there's gonna 181 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: be a superseding indictment. Trump now going before a DC judge. 182 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 3: The judge is the more or less worse judge he 183 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 3: could possibly have. They are mobilizing the whole system here. 184 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: You know, I see a lot of this on the right. 185 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 3: I see people who have honestly focused much of their 186 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: anger on who someone's primary choice is. Who someone's primary 187 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 3: choice is. On the Republican side, why I want to 188 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: vote for a RFK Junior. I want to vote for Vivek, 189 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: or I want to for Trump or DeSantis or whomever. 190 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: There's so much anger, and I sit here and I'm 191 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: looking at this. I'm saying, people, choose whoever you wish 192 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: for our Republican primary. Obviously, half the party seems to 193 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 3: have already settled on Donald Trump, but we are up 194 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 3: against something we have never dealt with before, and I 195 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: think that recognition is a little slow right now. For 196 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 3: the party. They don't care how reckless this is. The Democrats, 197 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 3: It doesn't bother them. The destruction that they are doing 198 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: to faith in the judicial system, to faith in our election. 199 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 3: Something they used to talk about all the time. How 200 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 3: can you have a fair election when one candidate has 201 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: four crim I mean soon to before criminal trials against him, 202 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 3: specifically time to happen during the election. You know, it 203 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 3: used to be we had this understanding of, oh, well, 204 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 3: they'll they'll have to hold the indictment or they'll have 205 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 3: to wait, and they don't want this to interfere. It 206 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: was a DOJ policy of sorts. We don't want to 207 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: have charges interfere with an election. But then we saw 208 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 3: with Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen, it was well, we 209 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: don't want law breaking to be punished because that could 210 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: affect an election. So Hillary Clinton got off scott free, 211 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: as we all know. And then here we are watching 212 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 3: as they turn on every as I said, fire hose 213 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: of propaganda, every aspect of the Democrat apparatus lined up 214 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: to not just prosecute Trump. I'll tell you this, I 215 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 3: don't think this is just about the politics. I do 216 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: think they plan to use this legal system to get 217 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 3: a guilty conviction somewhere and then at least push to 218 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: lock him up, whether it'll actually end up in a 219 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 3: sell or not. As another conversation, they want prison time 220 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 3: for a former president, and then they want to lecture 221 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: us about norms, about standards of decency and politics, about 222 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 3: the risks to our democracy. Well, as I've said all along, 223 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: the biggest risk to our democracy right now is that 224 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 3: the Democrats win. They win against Trump, and they win 225 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four. They win legally, they win politically. 226 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: That is the biggest risk that we have right now, 227 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: because the only corrective that I can see is taking 228 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: power away from them and then having some accountability. That 229 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 3: would be a beautiful thing, wouldn't And I don't know 230 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 3: if it's going to happen, but we've got to do 231 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: everything we can to get there.

Remember Devin Archer, 254 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden's closest friend and business partner for decades, went 255 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 3: into this business venture with him as come forward to 256 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 3: speak because he says it is his civic duty. But 257 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: Devin Archer and in this transcript makes it clear that 258 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: the whole thing was a Joe Biden influence peddling operation. 259 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: Of course it was what else. 260 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 3: No one actually thinks Hunters getting paid by these international 261 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 3: business interests because he's so bright. And so it's hilarious 262 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 3: to the people saying, oh, but Hunter got into Yale 263 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: Law School. I think then the cuomo is going to 264 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,239 Speaker 3: Yell Law School. If you are a famous Democrat politician, 265 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 3: all of your children get to go to any school 266 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 3: they want. That's how our system works. That's how the 267 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,359 Speaker 3: elites look at meritocracy. I mean, you can be incapable 268 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: of doing basic arithmetic and have a fourth grade reading level. 269 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 3: If your last name is Biden or Kennedy or Clinton, 270 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 3: or go down the list, you'll get into any school. 271 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: Okay, Harvard, stant you get to pick. You'll probably get 272 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: onto everyone you apply. You get to pick. Why not? 273 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 2: So it means nothing that Hunter Biden went to Yale 274 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 2: Law School. That's always a funny one too. But he 275 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 2: went to Yale Law School. 276 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 3: The transcript is out, and so we can look at 277 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 3: specifically the testimony that Devin Archer and here is I 278 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 3: want to get into some more of these takeaways, but 279 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 3: one of the biggest ones is Joe Biden when he 280 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: was running in twenty twenty, just lied about this in 281 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 3: the most obvious ways. And you remember that with Trump, 282 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 3: they always were talking to us about you can't have 283 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 3: somebody like Trump, but you can't trust who's he doesn't 284 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 3: And they had I think they had a lie counter, 285 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: almost like a COVID case counter, but it was for 286 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 3: Trump's lies. The number got up to the fifty thousand 287 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: or something. I don't even remember what it was, some 288 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: crazy numbers. Cndn't really had this. You go back, they 289 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 3: had a Trump lie count going. But with Joe Biden, 290 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: he's a liar. We know that, there's no question, and 291 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 3: not a liar about what he had for breakfast yesterday, 292 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 3: not a liar about how much he can bench press right. 293 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: He's lying about an issue of corruption and selling out 294 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 3: the country. That's a big deal that might have really 295 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: affected did how. 296 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: Many votes were talking about here? 297 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 3: Thirty or forty thousand votes would have based on the 298 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 3: numbers as they finally were tabulated and put down, put 299 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 3: aside anything else, thirty somei thousand votes over a few 300 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 3: states would have. 301 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: Changed the outcome of the last election. 302 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 3: You're gonna tell me if the American people knew, because 303 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 3: the press wasn't covering for them the full extent of 304 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: the corrupt Biden family. If the American people knew the 305 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 3: laptop was real and therefore all the other stuff and 306 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 3: it was probably real, wouldn't. 307 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: Have swayed a few votes here and there. I don't 308 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: buy it. I don't buy that argument. You know. 309 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 3: Oh, it's fine. Fifty one intelligence officials. I've told you 310 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 3: this all long too. The fifty one intelligence officials, they 311 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 3: are left wing heroes, the ones who all lied about 312 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 3: the laptop. The whole point was like they're in a cult. 313 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: They were supposed to just light their credibility on fire 314 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 3: and not ask any questions. 315 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 2: That's what they did. 316 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 3: So they served their Democrat master. They did what they 317 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 3: were supposed to do, and they have no I'm telling you, 318 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: no regrets about it.

That's one eight four to three re. 336 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 5: I know they desperately want Trump going, and I know 337 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 5: that they desperately want it codified that Trump cannot run again, 338 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 5: because make no mistake, they remain scared to death of you, 339 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 5: and they remain scared to death of Trump. 340 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 2: Trump's seventy five million, eighty million votes. 341 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 5: And I'm going to tell you you're not going anywhere even 342 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 5: if Trump does, You're not. 343 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 6: They can't separate you from the ideas, they can't separate 344 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 6: you from MAGA, they can't separate you from Make America 345 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 6: Great Again, which I think remains one of our big 346 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 6: campaign strengths going forward. They believe that they can they 347 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 6: can destroy this bond that exists between you and Trump 348 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 6: if they somehow make Trump look bad, make Trump look 349 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 6: like a reprobate, embarrass you about Trump. 350 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 2: They can't do it because you came before Trump. 351 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: You all recognize that that was Rush, and that was 352 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 3: on January eighth of twenty twenty one, after the twenty 353 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 3: twenty election, after January sixth had occurred. And here it's 354 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 3: of course wisdom and words to keep in mind and 355 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 3: remember going forward. It also gets to something else that 356 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 3: I think that the Democrats don't ever wrestle with, they 357 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 3: don't ever address in their approach to all this, and 358 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 3: that is there really seems to be a belief among 359 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: them that if Trump is destroyed, trumpsm or the populism, 360 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 3: the Make America Great Again movement, all of that goes away. 361 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: And I think that's very much wishful thinking on the 362 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 3: part of the Democrats and the left and there are 363 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 3: even some who are out there, maybe independent centrists, perhaps 364 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 3: even some Democrats who recognize this. And I've got to 365 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 3: tell you it is very rare that I will say 366 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 3: there is a New York Times editorial that is well 367 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 3: worth reading. 368 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 2: Very rare. 369 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I grew up reading the New York Times. 370 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 3: I used to read. My mom and dad had a 371 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 3: New York Times subscription. This switched to the Wall Street Journal, 372 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 3: you know, I think a few years after nine to eleven. 373 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 3: But I grew up reading the New York Times. I 374 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 3: grew up reading their editorial pages, and I knew I 375 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 3: didn't agree with it, but that was the newspaper I 376 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 3: lived in New York. 377 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: That's what we did. 378 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 3: The Times has an op ad out right now from 379 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 3: David Brooks, who is It's from yesterday, it is I 380 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 3: don't know how we centrists gop establishment swish independent. 381 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: I don't know, however you want to describe him. He's 382 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 2: more reasonable than the other lunatics on the editorial page. 383 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 3: But he also has to dance to the required tune 384 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 3: for Democrats a lot of the time. Right, That's not 385 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 3: a surprise, so David Brooks here, But the title I 386 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 3: think gives you a sense of where this is going. 387 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 2: What if we're the bad guys here? 388 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: He asks with a question mark, what if we are 389 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 3: the bad guys here? He's not speaking about Republicans, Oh no, no, 390 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: no no. When he says we, Brooks is referring to 391 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 3: the elites in general, the elites in the cities, the 392 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 3: coastal elites, the people who go to the most heralded institutions, 393 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 3: get jobs in the most powerful and well moneyed firms 394 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: and companies. And what if there's something fundamentally wrong with 395 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 3: their approach. 396 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 2: To things that you see. 397 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 3: I think Rush obviously under stood this was real, the 398 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 3: same betrayal of the country by the elites, so to speak, 399 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 3: the elitism of those who have concentrated wealth and political power, 400 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 3: and how they've. 401 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 2: Created this system that. 402 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 3: Undermines the notion of a true meritocracy and really advances 403 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 3: those who play within this system and their children and 404 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 3: their children's children. Let me give you a sense of 405 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 3: some of what he talks about here. 406 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 2: In this piece. 407 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 3: I think it's really interesting, he says, he's well, he's 408 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 3: actually talking about another author here, Daniel Markovitz, summarized years 409 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 3: of research in his book The meritocracy trap this way. Today, 410 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: middle class children lose out to the rich children at school, 411 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 3: and middle class adults lose out to elite graduates at work. 412 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: Meritocracy blocks the middle clas class from opportunity. Then it 413 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 3: blames those who lose a competition for income and status 414 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 3: that even when everyone plays by the rules, only the 415 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 3: rich can win. 416 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting? 417 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 3: Now he's citing another author here, But I thought that 418 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 3: was a powerful passage. 419 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 2: He goes beyond this. 420 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 3: Over the last decades, this is now, Brooks, We've taken 421 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 3: over whole professions and locked everyone else out. When I 422 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 3: began my journalism career in Chicago in the nineteen eighties, 423 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: there were still some old, krusty, working class guys around 424 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 3: the newsroom. Now we're not only a college dominated profession, 425 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 3: We're an elite college dominated profession. He goes into the numbers, 426 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 3: and it's what you would think the big newspapers. It's 427 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 3: all Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Stanford, etc. Maybe even some brown 428 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 3: university in there, even though they don't get grades. Writing 429 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 3: in Compact magazine, he says Michael and observes the upper 430 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 3: middle class job market looks like a candelabrum. Those who 431 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 3: managed to squeeze through the few stems, through the stem 432 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 3: of a few purstuitious colleges or universities in their youth 433 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 3: can then branch out to fill leadership positions in almost 434 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 3: every vocation. Elite graduates monopolize the best jobs at the 435 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 3: same time invent new technologies that privilege super skilled workers, 436 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 3: making the best jobs better and all the other jobs worse, 437 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 3: you know, like manufacturing. Something has been going on here, 438 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: and he makes notice this. Now, I want to be clear. 439 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: In this article. 440 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 3: You know, he says he hates Trump, and Trump is 441 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 3: awful and Trump is being a dieap. But the analysis 442 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 3: of the middle class and the recognition that even without 443 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 3: Trump there would still be something really wrong with the 444 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 3: way this country has been operating in recent decades, there 445 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 3: would still be a reason. There are so many good, decent, 446 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 3: law abiding, hard working people, millions, tens of millions of 447 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 3: them who feel like the country isn't operating in a 448 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 3: way that serves their interests or is even fair to 449 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 3: their interests. They could do whatever that they could send 450 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 3: Trump to you know, Elba Island. 451 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: They probably would want to do something like. 452 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 3: That, But they and it wouldn't stop the movement because 453 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 3: something is rotten here, and it's not just theoretical I'm 454 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 3: talking about. Yeah, sure, some political scientists and sociologists crunching 455 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 3: the numbers. Okay, here's an example. Here's one to bring 456 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 3: it home for everybody. Right now, what is happening in 457 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,719 Speaker 3: my hometown, New York City? Illegal migrants living on the 458 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 3: streets in lines, wanting free stuff, free healthcare, free housing, 459 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 3: free food. It's going to cost the city four billion dollars. 460 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: This is a city that is losing high earners all 461 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 3: the time because they're sick of paying that taxes to 462 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 3: pay for. 463 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: The welfare state. 464 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 3: Why does New York have such a giant budget in 465 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 3: comparison to say Florida where I live now, Well, the 466 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 3: biggest single item budget item in the New York state 467 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 3: budget medicate healthcare welfare. 468 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 2: Single biggest item by far. 469 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 3: And then you get into the you know, the teachers 470 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: unions and the education system and the various public sector 471 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 3: unions and employees and all the rest, you know, paying 472 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 3: for three times as many people in retirement as actually 473 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 3: doing the job. Now, that's where your tax dollars are going. 474 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 3: But let's look just for a Second, at the illegal 475 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 3: immigration situation. All these people who live in enclaves like 476 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 3: Democrat enclaves like New York and Los Angeles and Chicago 477 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 3: and DC, and they have been espousing for years. 478 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 2: The wealthy in these cities. 479 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 3: Espousing fears the more illegal immigrants, the better. We are 480 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 3: a nation of immigrants, and by that we mean illegal immigrants, 481 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 3: not forget about legal immigrants. They you know, they're they 482 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 3: don't have the same kind of virtue signaling points that 483 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 3: they talk about then, but they don't really mean what 484 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 3: they say obviously, which is why the mayor of New 485 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 3: York City is telling everybody New York City is full, 486 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 3: can't handle all of these illegal immigrants, who I will 487 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 3: note are lying and scamming the system. I mean, I'm 488 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,959 Speaker 3: not saying it doesn't make them bad people, but they 489 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 3: are lying and scamming the system. You can start to say, well, 490 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 3: you know, if I just want to like not pay 491 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,479 Speaker 3: my taxes, am I a bad person? 492 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 7: No? 493 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 3: But I'm scamming the system. Right, Are we held to 494 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 3: account or not? Do we have rule of law or not? Well, 495 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 3: what you see is that the people who work for 496 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 3: Google and Goldman, Sachs and Cravath and you know, go 497 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 3: down the list of the most elite, wealthy corporations, powerful 498 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 3: and influential ones in the whole country. Look at where 499 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 3: their offices are, look at where their workforces are, look 500 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 3: at how they live their lives. Where do they send 501 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 3: their kids to schools? Do any of the executives, do 502 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 3: any of the mid level employees, maybe even any of 503 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 3: the employees at those institutions, send their kids to schools 504 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 3: that are going to be dealing with a huge influx 505 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 3: of non English speaking illegal immigrant children who have been 506 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: through the trauma of being illegally brought across the border 507 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 3: by coyotes and the cartels. No, none of their kids 508 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 3: are going to deal with that. The Bidens, the Kennedys, 509 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: the Obamas, the great Democrat leadership right the Pelosis. 510 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: Where do they send their kids to school? Where do 511 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 2: they live? 512 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: Yet they create for all of you, They create for 513 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 3: the American people overall, systems that hold down those who 514 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 3: want to work hard and play by the rules. Unless 515 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:50,959 Speaker 3: they get some kind of a carve out, whether it's 516 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 3: through affirmative action or through legacy admissions, or through whatever 517 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 3: it may be. Unless they can play that Democrat system, 518 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 3: they're held down, and then you look at the fentanyl 519 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: overdoses happening and where mostly concentrated in mid size American cities, 520 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 3: rust belt cities. That's a consequence of a wide open border. 521 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 3: We all know that. Do you think the elites? 522 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 7: Oh? No. 523 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 3: In fact, what they do in California is they say, 524 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 3: let's have open air drug usage. It's always their move 525 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 3: to make it someone else's problem, and people are sick 526 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 3: of it. They're sick of the offshoring of jobs to China. 527 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 3: They're sick of the so called elite being incompetent and 528 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 3: selfish and having no patriotism whatsoever. In fact, the elites 529 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: in this country, and this is something Trump tapped into 530 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 3: right away because he knows them and he understands them. 531 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 3: They think that their role as being the elites is 532 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 3: to dump all over America, to change America, to kick 533 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 3: the borders wide open, to turn us into a socialist country. 534 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 3: Except they'll be so rich that it won't matter. Always 535 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 3: true in socialist countries. Go hang out in Venezuela. The 536 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 3: people run the country are fine, and some of them 537 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 3: are narco traffickers. 538 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: What a shock. 539 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 3: You can see what's going on here. This is the 540 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 3: part of it, if anything else. Is Trump going to 541 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 3: be able to get through all this legal? Is Trump 542 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 3: going to be able to win in twenty twenty four? 543 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 3: Is Trump even going to be the nominee? I can't 544 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 3: answer all those questions. Nobody can, no matter how much 545 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 3: they say they can. But I do know, and RUSSHNW 546 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,719 Speaker 3: the movement, the movement remains for good reason, and it 547 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 3: is strong, and it can change things. And all of 548 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 3: their hatred about Trump and all their oh maga and 549 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 3: you wear the hats and you're evil and you're bad people, 550 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 3: it doesn't change one thing about what I've said about 551 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 3: what it means to be middle class, what it means 552 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 3: to be somebody who doesn't have some carve out in 553 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 3: the system for them, who doesn't benefit from the racial 554 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 3: spoil system, who doesn't have a rich mommy and daddy 555 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 3: to pay their way through fancy institutions that will pave 556 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 3: the way for them into fancy job markets that other 557 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 3: people are blocked from. And then we all have to 558 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 3: socialize the costs, of course, in every sense, of the 559 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: massive amounts of illegal immigration, of the massive amounts of offshoring, 560 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 3: of the degradation of what they teach children in schools. 561 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 2: All of that. 562 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 3: You're supposed to deal with that and be quiet about it, 563 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 3: and watch CNN and take your marching orders to the 564 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 3: Washington Post. 565 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 2: Don't you see how evil Trump is? 566 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 3: Some of us turn around and say, hey, how about 567 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 3: we look at how evil the system has become. Maybe 568 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 3: that's a better place to start the conversation. Maybe that's 569 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 3: something else that we should look into.
