WEBVTT - Andy Levy & Rahm Emanel 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.160 Hi, I'm Molly John Fast and this is Fast Politics, 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.160 where we discussed the top political headlines with some of 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:11.480 today's best minds and just eight percent of United States 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:16.680 adults and eighteen percent of Republicans back taking control of Greenland. 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.000 We have such a great show for you today as 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:24.520 the world churns own. Andy Leeby steps by to talk 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:28.600 about Donald Trump's more on the American people. Then we'll 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.680 talk to former mayor of Chicago and Obama White House 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:37.360 Chief of Staff Rama Manual about how the DNC messed 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.880 up and how they can win the midterms. But first 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:41.400 the news. 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.800 Someone we've heard Vice President just dance fans say things 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:51.479 like that ICE officers are immune to prosecution, and Steven 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.520 Miller decided to take it the full full end of 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.440 basically saying ICE officers could do whatever they want and 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.520 they will be pardoned is quite quite bad and like 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.520 something that's going to lead to very bad outcomes, but 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.200 most of all, also something that's going to continue to 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:08.440 make them very unpopular. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:13.760 Yeah, basically this is what Stephen Miller said, and he 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.560 said it on television because so much of this is 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.760 performative to all ICE officers who have federal immunity in 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.840 the conduct of your duties. By the way, they have 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.679 qualified immunity. Qualified immunity is not the same as federal immunity. 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.600 It doesn't necessarily mean that you can do whatever you want. 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.480 If anyone lays a hand on you or tries to 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.920 stop you or tries to obstruct you, they are committing 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.679 a felony. Also not necessarily true, because it's not how 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.480 many of this works. You have immunity to perform your duties. 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.319 And no one knows city official, no state official, no 0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:47.520 illegal alien, no leftist agitator, or domestic insurrectionists can prevent 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:51.680 you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. That's not true. 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.720 That's absolutely not true. And the Apartment of Justice has 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.880 made clear that an official crosses the line into obstruction 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.640 into criminal conspiracy against you. Says are against ICE officials, 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.880 the officers, they will face justice. That is not correct. 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.560 That is, they have qualified immunity the what police do too. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:15.320 And also Stephen Miller has now he sees that these 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.240 ICE agents are getting a lot of pushback for what 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.720 they're doing, and he sees that this polling is not popular. 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.120 And because he's Steven Miller and because Trump two point 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:29.160 zero is this insane mechanism where they just go full authoritarian. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.680 He's just doubling down on it. He's saying, do whatever 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.960 you want, do as much as you want. What's going 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:37.959 to happen here is what happened in Minnesota, but worse right, 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.600 they're going to do worse. They're going to hurt more people, 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.760 and they're going to kill more people, and there's going 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.959 to be more of this until the Trump administration stops 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.000 doing it, and they're not going to stop doing it 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.440 on their own. And I think that's what we have 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.840 to understand here. Like we always say, like Republicans need 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.120 to stand up to them, and people say, well, they're 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.440 not going to stand up to them, okay, But until 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.280 they do so, this continues. And so maybe they don't 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.839 feel like standing up to them, maybe the Supreme Court 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.840 doesn't want to say no Trump, that's enough. But until 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:12.000 they do, it just gets worse and worse and worse. 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.680 And we are not even done with your one. So 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.880 that's what's so stupid about this whole fucking thing is 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.280 that you can say, oh, Republicans are cowards, They're never 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.440 going to stand up to him. They are cowards for sure, 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.160 no one's arguing with that. But until they do, it's 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:30.480 just gonna get worse and worse and worse. So like, 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:36.440 until Tucker Carlson and every dipshit on Fox News says 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.760 you got to stop shooting people in the face, it's 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.640 not gonna stop. So again I implore you, as a 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.280 listener to this podcast, like all of us need to 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.640 be talking to our representatives, especially the Republican ones, and saying, look, man, 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.920 you gotta tell him it's not okay to have a 0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:02.000 gestapo going through Minnesota, ripping special education teachers out of 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.680 their cars and breaking windows because they're fighting against some 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.440 enemy that doesn't exist. I mean, that's how we got here. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.240 We are not a country at war, right, Immigration is 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.159 a net negative now or a zero. This is not 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.279 a country that needs a secret police force. This is 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:23.839 an authoritarian who's using a secret police force to punish democrats. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.719 I mean, the only reason they're in Minnesota and not 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.640 somewhere else is because of that dipshit Nick Shirley, who 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.840 had that dumb piece about fraud that had happened two 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:36.240 years ago where people were already in jail. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.240 Yeah, it really is sad since the second Dick Shirley's 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.760 journalism has stood up to Eddie Rigger. We've seen that 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.719 it fell apart. Soboley Representative Seth Moulton, who is primary 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:50.120 ing Senator Ed Markey in the far left set a 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.039 seat of Massachusetts, has introduced ICE to funding bill and 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.719 he's calling the issue shut down worthy. What do you 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:57.120 make of this? 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.839 He's right, they should shut down the fucking gummery over Ice. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:01.720 They should. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.400 I agree, the spending package right now gave ICE seventy 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.120 five billion dollars and they're funded through twenty twenty nine. 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.120 You know who's not funded through twenty twenty nine, anyone else? 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:19.560 I mean, this is just fucking madness. They are doing 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:24.560 a reparable harm to our communities, to our country, and 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.800 Republicans should abse fucking lutely shut down the government over 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.920 this bullshit. One hundred percent. Malton said, the one beautiful 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.480 bill nearly triples ICE budget. ICE's budget at a time 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.039 when American families are losing their health insurance. He didn't 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.240 quite say it like that, but it's true. And he said, 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.679 we want to extend ACA premium tax credits. They shouldn't 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.240 be lapsing now again. I think a lot of them 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.760 have already lapsed, and I think that there's not going 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.279 to be a way to save that. But the thing 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.640 that we do know is we can shut down this 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.880 seventy five billion dollars that's going to ice. And if 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.560 they shut down the government, that's the first to do it. 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.039 And you know, you may not see that on CBS News, 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:06.880 that is true. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:11.120 So I'm thinking a lot about the platform formerly known 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.239 as Twitter, known as X and it's Ai Robot Croc 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.799 who this week awone has had reports that suggest both 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.400 Australia and the UK and Canadian governments are going to 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:26.040 ban X because Groc keeps undressing underage girls and things 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.240 like that and there's no guardrails on it, and that 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:31.000 is by design. It keeps turning into a white supremacist. 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.440 In fact, it did it twenty seven times. Because Elon 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:40.640 thinks this is based and with that are very questionably sober. 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.520 Department of warhead Pete Hegsith has decided they should turn 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.080 Grock over to run the Pentagon and do analysis. 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.440 Yeah, by the way, Elon mash he has head to 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.320 free reign on our government. And I think it's important. 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.040 Like when Elon is always like, oh, there's fraud in 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.480 the government. Like you worked in the fun government. Doje 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:06.240 cut lots of government contracts. So the idea that he 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.920 just needs more time to go back into the government 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.680 and fuck Moore shit up is pretty hilarious to make. 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.000 Let's talk about this. So Pete Hagsath, who is both 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:20.280 a moron and very likely an alcoholic, has decided that 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:26.440 the Elon Musk artificial intelligence chatbot white supremacist because that's 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.520 how it's been trained. Grock will be integrated into the 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:33.680 Pentagon's network, including classified systems, as a part of a 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:39.520 broader initiative to help Republican donors. I'm sorry to initiate 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:44.240 and incorporate AI technology across the military. Speaking at SpaceX, 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:48.560 which is headquartered in South Texas, which has a governor 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:52.040 who will do anything Donald Trump wants. His name is 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.560 Greg Abbott. Heigsas said, groc will go live inside the 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.680 Department of Defense this month and will join Google's generitive 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.000 AI engine. There are so many reasons why this could 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.880 end in disaster. We just have to hope that the 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:09.160 grown ups at the US military are giving Pete hag 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:13.600 Sath the blunt knife and the kitty spoon and not 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:15.200 letting anywhere near the nukes. 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.920 Oh god, so stupid. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.760 It's very stupid. Speaking of stupid, Senator Alissa Slotkin of 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.400 the Great State of Michigan says that prosecutors are investigating 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.040 her after a video about legal orders, just like what 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:31.800 they went after Senator Mark Kelly for. 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.280 Yeah, so we know this to be true because they 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.400 did this to Mark Kelly. And if there's one thing 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.520 we know about this administration, it's they're just going to 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:40.280 do it to everyone. 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.160 The other thing we know is they're going to send 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.680 somebody very incompetent after them aka Judge box of Wide Piro. 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.199 Yes, she found out an inquiry and from the office 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.640 of Jeanine Piro. Again, it's worth remembering Donald Trump. He 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:56.920 yelled at his people for not doing enough for him, 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:02.280 and then the next day Judge of Wine started investigating 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:07.559 the chairman of the FED. She started investigating Lissa Slockin. 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.360 This is how it goes right, Judge box of Wine 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.199 wants to make her big boss happy. The good news 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.680 is these people are morons, right, Like they're trying to 0:09:16.679 --> 0:09:20.840 go after j Powell for a renovation that went over budget. Okay, 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.480 j Pal I'm no fan of any of these people, but. 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.440 Are my favorite announcements. A renovation that would overbudget aka 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.280 every renovation the history of America. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.320 Also, when they were in the if you watch the 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.040 video of the two of them going through the FED renovation, 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.040 he goes and he goes, we'll cost three billion dollars. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.319 In j goes, no, two billion doors, and Trump goes, no, 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.120 three billion dollars. And then he goes to see and 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.679 Jay Powell looks and he goes, you added another building. 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:51.440 I mean, these people they're just not smart. And thank 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.199 God for that, because otherwise we would all be completely fucked. 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.880 We We have exciting news over at our YouTube channel. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:07.000 The second episode from our Project twenty twenty nine series 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.560 is out now. It's a reimagining where we examined what 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.600 went wrong with democrats approach to politics and how we 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.920 can correct it and deliver changes to help people's lives. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.120 The first episode dove into the very sexy topic of 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:25.240 campaign finance reform, and our second episode deals with an 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:30.920 even sexier topic, antitrust and regulation. We look at how 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:36.559 antitrust and regulation can protect American citizens and make America 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:42.360 thrive in an era of rampant corruption. And predatory crony capitalism. 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.680 We talk to the smartest names in the field like 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:52.839 Lena Kahan, Elvero Bedoya, Elizabeth Wilkins, and Doha Mecki. Republicans 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.840 were prepared for when they got the levers of power. 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.360 We need democrats to be too.

Seventy back the impeachment of Christy Nome 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.320 or is we like to call her a st Barbie? 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:39.760 Why doesn't everyone where are the other hundred and four day? 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.520 It was just like today or yesterday? This was brought 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.480 up the impeachment, right. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.520 Yeah, you know, it's let's give him time because it 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.200 was only I mean, a woman was shot, a mother, 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:54.600 thirty seven year old mother shot in the face three times, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.840 but that last week, I mean, how many moms have 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.880 to get shot in the face before Christy gets impeached? 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.280 Two three four. 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.200 I am not one to give the Democrats a pass.

I'll kind of take that. I mean, 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.559 by the end of the week it should be d thirteen. 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.000 It's unreal. I mean, they could literally spend every waking 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.200 minute that they are in session doing nothing but impeaching 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:31.040 various officials, and that would be a good use of 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:32.720 their time for me. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:33.520 That's right. 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.600 So much has to be done about what's going on now. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:41.600 But Christynome, RFK Junior. There's no point me even listing 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.760 them because it's probably one name for each of the 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:49.000 seventy members of Congress that right now have stagged on 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:49.360 to this. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.880 What I think is important about the Christynome impeachment, and 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.400 what I think is important about impeachment in the House 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.640 we're at large right now, is that Mike Johnson is 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.480 a terrible speaker, and he has a one vote majority 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:06.600 with four vacancies. There are two hundred and eighteen Republicans, 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.640 two hundred and thirteen Democrats, four vacancies. Here is a 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.920 moment where Democrats can get things passed as a dischurch petition, 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.520 which means they put together something, they go around leadership, 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.160 and they make it happen. Could you see a discharge 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:25.720 petition for impeaching Christy nom get through? I can. I 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:32.079 can't because you'd see that the Obamacare premium expansion, they 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.480 got seventeen Republicans to vote. So if you can get 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.400 seventeen Republicans, if you can get five Republicans, and so 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.480 I do think there's a chance. Now, look, it's going 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:42.840 to go to the Senate. It's going to die at 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.199 the Senate. But you know what, when we talked about 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.360 the Epstein stuff, right, the Epstein discharge petition, no one 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.760 thought that was going to get to the Senate. And 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.480 it got to the Senate and no one thought it 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.120 was going to get through the Senate. It got through 0:13:56.160 --> 0:14:00.079 the Senate and everyone thought Donald Trump is going to 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:04.040 veto it, and Donald Trump couldn't veto it. Now the 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:07.199 DOJ is completely fucked and so they didn't release any 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.840 of the stuff. But like, nobody could have seen that coming. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.160 And that's why I think the makeup is so dysfunctional 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.840 and what Trump is doing is so insane that I 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.479 would not bet against an impeachment. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:24.160 I would bet against it but but no, it is possible. 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:27.360 I think the Obamacare subsidies. I don't know that that's 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:31.160 an apt comparison, because that is stuff that I think 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.800 people in the districts of these Republicans wanted that. They 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.560 certainly weren't doing it because it was the right thing 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.720 to do. They were doing it because they were worried 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.880 about how it would play back home. I don't know 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:45.280 that impeaching Christy Nome gets you that same you know, 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.000 regardless of what the polling is on Ice, I don't 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.080 think it gets you the same thing. I think Epstein 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:54.800 also falls more in that Obamacare subsidy thing, where it's like, 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.200 clearly people wanted this to happen. 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.320 Except this is the problem with this moment in American life. 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:06.320 None of this shit stops until people stop it. And 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.560 so it's gonna just get worse and worse and worse, 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:11.720 and we're gonna see more videos and people getting the 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:13.600 shit kicked out of them and get pulled out of 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.560 their cars and get shot in the face, and eventually 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.520 people are either going to be like, either they're gonna 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.640 they're going to impeach her and they're gonna stop it, 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.200 or it's gonna be every blue state, and by the way, 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.200 this is happening in non blue states too, And so 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:33.280 I do think, like, yes, we should be cynical about 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.040 these people because they're politicians and they got us to 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.640 this moment. But I do think like they are all 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:44.680 we have between between like us being Venezuela two point zero. 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.360 We wait, I think we agree, Like I think they 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:50.760 should go ahead with you know, motions. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.960 I'm just saying it's just gonna get worse and worse 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:57.880 and worse. There is no other third choice, Like Trump 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.200 is not gonna be like, oh, this was bad, I'm 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:01.320 gonna stop doing it. 0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.880 Absolutely, you know, Like I said, they could be doing 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.880 nothing but working on impeachment paperwork, and I'd be fine 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.160 with that. The argument that you don't do it because 0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:14.200 it's not gonna succeed doesn't work for me. Here. You 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.880 still do it. Sometimes you do something because it's the 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.120 right thing. Even if you think the odds of emerging 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.760 victorious are slim, or even if you think the odds 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.760 of emerging victorious are none, it's still the right fucking 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.000 thing to do. Yeah, So you do it, and it's 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.440 still getting it on the record and getting it out 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:33.360 there that these people have to be held to account. 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.400 And if something like this fails, now, all right, you 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:38.680 know we got midterms coming up, we got twenty twenty 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.640 eight coming up. There's absolutely nothing that says you can't 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.400 do it again. So I'm not advocating for waiting till 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.360 you have a majority or anything like that. I'm saying 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.800 I'm the opposite. I'm saying, do it now. If it fails. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.760 You know, all right, you did a dry run, and 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.560 then in twenty seventeen, if you've got majorities, you do 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:02.560 it again. You wait, twenty twenty eight, you do it again. Whatever. 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.679 But the trail, like you said, this stuff is not 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:07.919 going to stop. It's just going to get worse. And 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:13.199 the trail of opposition has to be firmly established. You 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:17.159 can't wait until all the stars align and all the 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.639 ducks are in a row and say, okay, now we 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.520 can oppose this stuff. And look, this is where both 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:27.040 Schumer and Jefferies drive me absolutely nuts, because you know, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.600 they never seem to understand that the moment is now. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.600 It's always we can't do that. Now. We have to 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:37.840 talk about the economy and only the economy, as if 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:40.240 people can't hold multiple thoughts in their head at the 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.760 same time, and as if it's not important to actually 0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:46.919 do the right things sometimes, And that's where this falls 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:47.199 for me. 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:51.440 Yeah, I agree. I also think that the ICE numbers 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:53.800 are bad and they're only going to get worse. The 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:57.800 public sentiment on ice. Nobody wants this, nobody likes it. 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.119 I mean, it's only going to get worse. So I 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:02.520 think that's also true. 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.600 I absolutely agree with that. You know, I've seen people saying, 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:08.800 I think you were wonder to n actually that abolish 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.359 ice is going to be the moderate position for me. 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.840 I would never have said that in my life. By 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:19.399 the way, fancy white person like abolish ice, I'd be 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.160 like that, you know, I'd go on television and say 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:24.040 things like, you can't have politicians who say abolish ice. Now, 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.000 I don't want to vote for a politician who says 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:30.040 who doesn't say abolish ice, like this mom was murdered 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.600 because she was blocking traffic, right, Okay, if we're just 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.359 going to murder random people because they're making you mad, like, 0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:41.720 that's not how any of this is supposed work. No. 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:44.119 First of all, welcome to the dark side, Molly. Are 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.840 we glad to have you? But you know, beyond abolish 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.640 ice being the moderate position, abolish ice has to be 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.680 the first step. Like, that's not the end all be all. 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.080 You don't just abolish ice and then say all right, 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.840 you know, then make the Las Vegas blackjack dealer handwave thing. 0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:00.600 It's going to have to go for than a polis 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:02.560 is all. I'm saying. There's going to have to be 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:09.080 ramifications for the Christy Knows, the Vinos, the people like that. Actually, 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:09.920 why do you get the. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.480 People who get fifty thousand dollars in a cave a bag? 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:14.520 Tom Holman? 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:16.800 I can not imagine who you're talking about. 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.639 Tom Holman on the weekend Sunday shows. I want to 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:21.919 talk about this. I know it's not breaking news, but 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.880 so Kristin Walker is like, you got fifty thousand dollars 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.199 in a cave a bag? And he's like, I mean, 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:32.200 it was just a beautiful moment of like a man 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.600 trying to say he didn't get fifty thousand dollars in 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.080 a cave bag. My question is, Tom Holman, what kind 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:41.280 of taxes did you pay? Did you pay those as 0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.600 income taxes? Was that? Did you pay it as a 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.920 capital gains? I mean, did you not pay taxes on 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:50.760 the fifty thousand dollars you got in a caba bag. 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.679 I mean, is that gambling wings Maybe. 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.560 Right exactly, I don't know. It must be, it must be. 0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:58.880 Or you have to It's like like when Oprah gives 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:00.639 you a car, you have to pay the you have 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:04.480 to pay the taxes, right, Yeah, yeah, I guess you 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:04.679 had a. 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.640 Kaba bag filled with fifty thousand dollars and you get 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:08.320 a kava bag. 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.679 Go on, yes, no, I can say, I guess. I 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:12.440 guess you have to admit that you got a bag 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.760 filled to fifty k before you can pay taxes on it. 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:18.320 So, by the way, my favorite part of that story 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.560 is they weren't even investigating him. I know they were 0:20:21.560 --> 0:20:25.199 investigating someone else, and you just wandered in and was like, oh, 0:20:25.280 --> 0:20:27.560 I'll take that fifty thousand dollars in a cava bag. 0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:29.160 Yeah. Truly we are. 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.720 We are being run by. 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:36.159 The dumbest, most corrupt Yeah. True or false? Like the 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.080 stupidity is saving us a little bit. 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:41.399 True. I think a lot of them are stupid. I 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.480 think there are some who aren't stupid. I don't think 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:49.840 Stephen Miller is stupid. No, I think he's evil, right. 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.840 I don't think he's stupid. Christy Noam, I think is 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:57.440 pretty stupid. Tom Holman doesn't seem like the brightest. 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:02.720 Bulb, but I think it's worth Like, for example, let's 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.440 talk about Donald Trump being in Michigan. He was in 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:10.439 Detroit to talk about the economy and how he is 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:15.080 growing the manufacturing despite the fact that manufacturing has actually 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:20.640 lost jobs because these tariffs, which we're supposed to incentivize 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.680 manufacturing on shore have basically just put it, have been 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.159 like a big rock on our economy, right, because people 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:30.520 don't know what to do. Nobody trusts Trump, they don't 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.520 know if he's going to change his mind, so they're 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.760 just not manufacturing, and so people are losing manufacturing jobs. 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:41.320 So he goes to Detroit to tour to tout how 0:21:41.359 --> 0:21:45.400 he's going to make America great again. And he sees 0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.640 one of the workers at the plant who says, why 0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:53.000 do you protect pedophiles? And he, in his infinite class 0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:58.000 and grace, the always statesman, Donald Trump gives the guy 0:21:58.480 --> 0:21:59.800 the finger discuss. 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.760 Yeah, well, look, I mean there's a couple of different 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:07.280 ways of looking at this. One is you know, I 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.320 mean Trump, I don't know that he ever had it, 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:13.879 but he lost it a while ago. I mean he yeah, clearly, 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.560 he very clearly lost it. You know, there are various 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:18.960 things that happened to the human brain as one ages, 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:23.040 and you know sometimes when those things happened, some of 0:22:23.040 --> 0:22:26.760
