Mega media? 12 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 3: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 13 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 3: these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my 14 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 3: task and what is my purpose? 15 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 5: If that answer is to save my country, this country. 16 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: Will be saved. 17 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 3: Room. 18 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 4: Here's your host, Stephen Kvan. 19 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 3: It's Wednesday, twenty seven, August, year of our lower twenty twenty five. 20 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: I think you noticed that there's so much going on 21 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 3: in August. No one took vacation. I only think the 22 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 3: morning Joe Krawd did. Everybody was at it the entire 23 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: time because President Trump's driving the action. Here, I'll get 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 3: into the Wigel story. In lawd Wogo's put up a poll. 25 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: It's like twelve hundred people. So it's not a tiny 26 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 3: pole that sorts fifty three percent wanted to run for 27 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 3: a third term. I want to go, Caroline, I want 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 3: to get you back in first off, seizing the institutions. 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: So when we talk about this coalition, and we do 30 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: have a coalition, and I agree with you, the major 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 3: fights between the populist right, the populist nationalist right, and 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 3: still the globalist tech bros to come. But even the 33 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 3: more traditional Republican party part the neoliberal neocons, which is 34 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 3: the Tom Cottons and Lindsey Grahams. You've got the Ted 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 3: Cruise in the round, the Sander, the old traditional limited 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: government folks right, which is still a big contingent. You've 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 3: got the religious right, the evangelicals, those three groups alone 38 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: before you leave the tech right. Some of the things 39 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 3: President Trumper he's doing, Yes, he is listening to a 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: lot of different people, but he's driving in a direction 41 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: that's not traditional Republicanism, and he's seizing the institutions. This 42 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 3: thing with the Federal Reserve. You know, we've had David 43 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: malpass On a lot over the last month. David now 44 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 3: Here is on the short list for this new governorship 45 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: that that's going to come open. And Scott besstt as 46 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: you know, as a safe pair of hands. He's not 47 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 3: a guy that runs around the reason he's Secretary Treasury. 48 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: He's just his calm demeanor and the fact that he 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 3: doesn't go out, you know and jump on things. Scott 50 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 3: send this morning, Hey, she's got to be prosecuted. She 51 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: has not denied the mortgage fraud. And he said, how 52 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: do you have somebody as a governor of the Federal 53 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 3: Reserve right that that's you know, has had mortgage fraud, 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: pretty blatant mortgage fraud. So talk to me about the 55 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: season of the institutions, whether it's doing this thing. And 56 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 3: you've got these liberals. I think he had Glasner on 57 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 3: arguing there's no crime in DC, that this is overreach. 58 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 3: Talk about the seizure of the institutions, whether it's the courts, 59 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 3: whether it's the the Just Department, the FBI, whether it's 60 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: the the UH, you know, the federals ar and remember 61 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: the war. We're in the strategy of the maximalists. We 62 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: want to put the pedal to the metal because we 63 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: say we're burning daylight. You got to get these things done. 64 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 3: So where the whether it's redissarting. You know, take take 65 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 3: the thirty seats and take them now Texas still ohs 66 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 3: is another five or the five they got? How do 67 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 3: you think one? How do you think President Trump's doing 68 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: in that regard given the three hour you know, basically 69 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 3: border directors, mean you saw it yesterday and couple with 70 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: hot do you hold that traditional part of the that 71 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 3: you came from quite frankly of the of the Republican Party, ma'am. 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 6: Well, I think he's doing fantastic. 73 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 7: I did love the premise of this Axios article that 74 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 7: you referenced in the beginning, which was quote Trump has 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 7: exerted decisive control over every edge of the executive branch. Well, yeah, 76 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 7: he is the head of the executive branch. So I 77 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 7: think it's a good thing that he has taken decisive control. 78 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 7: But what is funny is that these journalists are just 79 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 7: so blown away by Trump. It's because they're used to 80 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 7: these frankly cough politicians that bow to every institution that 81 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 7: they were actually elected to governover that the constitution directs 82 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 7: them to governover. But somehow they actually bended the knee 83 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 7: to these institutions. So much of Washington, our elected officials 84 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 7: were run by the institutions. 85 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 6: It is supposed to be the other way around. 86 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 7: And so that's why when Trump has come in and 87 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 7: truly taken over the institutions of which he is in 88 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 7: charge of and in fact should, it is an earthquake 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 7: in DC. But I think we should talk about the 90 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 7: key genius here, who truly. 91 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 6: Is Stephen Miller. 92 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 7: Stephen Miller has studied these institutions and how to dismantle 93 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 7: them since he was sixteen years old, and he came 94 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 7: into this administration not only prepared to dismantle them, but emboldened. 95 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 6: By President Trump to do so. 96 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 7: And he really is the driving force behind what I 97 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 7: think is an unbelievable success. 98 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 6: And in the Axios article they lay out a lot 99 00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 6: of those successes. 100 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 7: Then one thing I kind of thought was where they 101 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 7: say there's still remaining resistance that needs to be done 102 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 7: once they brought up the judicial branch, which obviously is 103 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 7: true now it. 104 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 6: Is the judicial branch is its own branch of government. 105 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 7: I blame a lot of the problems with the judicial 106 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 7: branch actually around Mitch McConnell, Leonard Leo and the idiots 107 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 7: that put in these like Bush, you know, Republican judges 108 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 7: in the first Trump term that have been disasters, and 109 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 7: so this time around, I'm glad we're not listening to 110 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 7: the Leonard Leo and those folks. But you know they 111 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 7: bring up the media as being remaining resistance. Well, we 112 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 7: do have a brilliant FCC chairman and Brendan Carr, who 113 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 7: I think is doing a lot to dismantle the media. 114 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 7: I'd still would love to see him actually strip one 115 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 7: of these news outlets news outlets from their licenses, something 116 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 7: Trump's talked about. But he's won a number of settlements 117 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 7: for settlements against some of these organizations, and I can't 118 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 7: wait to see what's going to happen with the Wall 119 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 7: Street Journal. So overall, I'm very, very pleased, and I 120 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 7: want to see more dismantling the institutions. 121 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 6: I love it. 122 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,799 Speaker 1: Hang off, hang a second. 123 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: A couple of the big wins that we because remember 124 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: the war Room is also the home of the neo 125 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: Brandiician movement, where we think Lena Khan did a tremendous 126 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 3: job in the first term, where we're against this concentration. 127 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: You just talked about the tech pros folks. The difference 128 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: in the first term and the second term in those 129 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 3: years in between is the concentration of power and big pharma, 130 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: big ag, big tech, right the big media wall streets. 131 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: It's the concentration of power. They're taking all the lobbyists, 132 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 3: they're taking, you know, all the top law firms, all 133 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,840 Speaker 3: the communications firms. We've got two massive cases working on 134 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: and now we find out Zuckerberg's back in the Oval office. 135 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 3: You're hearing and you know, the FTC Andrew Ferguson has 136 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 3: done a tremendous job taking a case that was filed 137 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: in the last days of President Trump's first term. Lena 138 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: Kahan kind of perfected it over her time, and Andrew Ferguson's 139 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: got them in court to essentially break up a big 140 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 3: part of Facebook. And now we hear that, you know, 141 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: Zuckerberg's back hovered around the White House. Gates spent two 142 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 3: hours after the President's three hour board meeting or cabinet meeting. 143 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: Gates is in the is in the is in the 144 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: Oval for two hours arguing his case on vaccines. Usaid 145 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: all that, so are we going to continue to win? 146 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: This are the forces of concentration of power, Money and 147 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: power are going to thwart our efforts here to try 148 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: to break up some of these institutions. They particularly try 149 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: to break up certain of these institutions of whether you know, 150 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: whether it's Facebook, whether it's Google, et cetera. 151 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: Ma'am, well, I think. 152 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 7: That there's a difference between institutions and companies where I 153 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 7: think that we are winning right now in the Trump 154 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 7: administration is breaking up institutions. For example, putting Darren Baty 155 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 7: as the head of the what is it, the National 156 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 7: Institute for Peace, which was just a massive money laundering 157 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 7: building organization in DC to funnel money to usaid that 158 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 7: those institutions were winning. I still the corporations are its 159 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 7: own massive Well, I like you thought, Lena Khon was 160 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 7: one of the most brilliant people that we've seen. I 161 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 7: wish actually she would have stuck around for this Trump administration. 162 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 7: So how Trump and this administration is going to handle 163 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 7: the corporations is still something that we are kind of 164 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 7: waiting and watching. I've been very nervous to see the 165 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 7: embracement I guess of folks like Zuckerberg and Gates and others, 166 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 7: but also I understand what the Trump administration is doing. 167 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 7: They they're bringing in all sorts of voices trying to 168 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 7: make the tent bigger. But we'll see when it matters. 169 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 7: Just Trump hold the line against these folks, and I 170 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 7: think that it's still too early to tell, but I 171 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 7: have I have a lot of faith in President Trump 172 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 7: to do it, and I'm certainly going to remain to 173 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 7: be vocal and as you are, and to hope for 174 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 7: those outcomes. 175 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 6: But yeah, these guys are definitely they are coming around. 176 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 7: They're donating a lot of money through President Trump's different groups. 177 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 7: But again, just because you donate money does not mean 178 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 7: you're gonna get what you want into this Trump administration. 179 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 7: And so these institutions. You're putting Rick Renell in charge 180 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 7: of the Kennedy Center, genius. What he is doing over 181 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 7: there is brilliant. So I do like to see that. 182 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,319 Speaker 7: But the corporations are still a big, big problem. 183 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 3: Let's go to by the way, President Trump's got a 184 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: couple of things on true Social today. One is about 185 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 3: Carl Rove and that's that problem at Fox continues to exist. 186 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 3: The other is about he wants to bring I think 187 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 3: Rico charges against Soros. Is that a little bit missing 188 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: the boat. Talk to me about Arabella and some of 189 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 3: these organizations that we quite we cannot totally figure out 190 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 3: how some of these institutions on the left get their cash. 191 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 3: Is sourus yesterday's news, and Arabella is where the focus 192 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 3: should be, ma'am. 193 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 7: No, because Soros and Arabella are directly linked. In fact, 194 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 7: the person who's basically in charge of Arabella Visors right 195 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 7: now is Soros's son, Alex Soros. So let's say Arabellavisor's 196 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 7: was formed in two thousand and five, and it was 197 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 7: formed after the Democrats had lost the House, Senate and 198 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 7: the presidency. 199 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 6: And so George Soros called. 200 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 7: A meeting of the top progressive donors in the country 201 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,439 Speaker 7: and then invited a couple of the top political consultants. 202 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 7: And the donors told them, you just electively wasted hundreds 203 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 7: of millions of our dollars. 204 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 6: You have nothing to show for it. 205 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 7: Come back to us with a plan that involves funding 206 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 7: ideas and institutions that will live beyond one election cycle. 207 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 7: From that meeting, you got Arabella Advisors. 208 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 6: It was conceived there, and it was it's, you know, quote. 209 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 7: A philanthropic consulting company that manages tens of billions, some 210 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 7: say upwards of seventy five billion with a B and 211 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 7: foundation support and those foundations support left wing wote causes 212 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 7: and institutions. Now arabell essentially runs about two hundred nonprofits. 213 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 7: They're the fiscal sponsor for them. But really what they 214 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 7: do is they are they fund these grassroots groups which 215 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 7: are anything, but they are actually political, you know, political 216 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 7: run entities. And so for example, the No Kings protests, 217 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 7: Arabel Advisors funded that. It's funded largely by a lot 218 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 7: of foreign money as well, but they poured twenty million 219 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 7: most recently behind the groups funding the protests of Trump's 220 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 7: DC crime crackdown. And when Mark Zuckerberg wanted to purchase 221 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 7: the twenty four our twenty twenty election, he spent three 222 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty million dollars to do that. 223 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 6: And where did he turn to? 224 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 7: Arabel Advisors Arabellas who ran the Center for Tech in 225 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 7: Civil Life the CTCL where Zuckerberg famously gave that three 226 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty million dollars to turn out voters. But 227 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 7: really they just focused that money in twenty six blue 228 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 7: counties and swing states. They took over those counties, election systems, 229 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 7: printed ballots. And here we are, so I the buck 230 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 7: stops with Arabel Advisors. It is the I mean, it 231 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 7: runs everything, all of these institutions, and we have to 232 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 7: go after them. The next tip I want to see 233 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 7: Scott Besson, who is now the acting director of the IRS. 234 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 7: The most important thing he can do is announce an 235 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 7: investigation into Arabel Advisors. These nonprofits, that's how they operate. 236 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 7: They are not nonprofits. They get the tax seductions on 237 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 7: their way in there, but they are meddling in every 238 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 7: single institution, corporation, and also our government and the way 239 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 7: that we live our lives every day. So I think 240 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 7: it is the most important thing we can keep our 241 00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 7: eyes on. 242 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: The first thing we could do is the ability to 243 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 3: donate their stock right on a tax free basis, right 244 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 3: and then financies things. We aret to cut that out 245 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 3: that would stop them wealthy from doing this. Last thing 246 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 3: before I let you go, I know you get a 247 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 3: bounce still Zuckerberg and Gates, I mean, Gates gets two 248 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: hours with the president. New York Times reporting he's got 249 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: two hours with the president. Gates and Zuckerberg are still 250 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 3: getting How they still getting this type of access when 251 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 3: they've been on the other side of the football for 252 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 3: so long? 253 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: How does that work? 254 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 4: Well? 255 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 7: I do think Trump is getting concessions from them. Bill 256 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 7: Gates has been begging for this meeting. 257 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 6: They met. I believe they had dinner in late. 258 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 7: December at mar Laga, before Trump had been inaugurated, and 259 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 7: then there was a story in April by the New 260 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 7: York Times about how Bill Gates was desperately trying to 261 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 7: get in and see the president. 262 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 6: You wouldn't he took the meeting yesterday. 263 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 7: But what also came out yesterday was that Bill Gates 264 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 7: was he's one of the largest financial backers of Arabell Advisors, 265 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 7: that he was pulling his four hundred and fifty million 266 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 7: dollars out of Arabell Advisors. So I would like to 267 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 7: hope that it was actually the Trump administration that pressured 268 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 7: them to do this and then said, fine, we'll take 269 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 7: your meeting, so that if that is the case, I 270 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 7: don't know that to be the case, but. 271 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 6: If that is the case, then that's a big week 272 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 6: win for Trump. 273 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 7: And we all know Bill Gates went in and advocated 274 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 7: for funding of vaccines all over the world and whatever 275 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 7: crap that he always advocates for. Doesn't mean Trump's gonna 276 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 7: do it. But Trump got him to pull his money 277 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 7: out of Arabella and that will win in my book. 278 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: Carolyn, Caroline, where's your social media now that you're back 279 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 3: from your long summer long audition from below decks back 280 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: from the Eugenia or you know wherever I saw the 281 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 3: saw the Instagram?

Paul, I 336 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: always love when people try to do something totally outside 337 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: the box, in different differently. 338 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: That kind of grabs you. 339 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: There's been a lot of these college guides, but you 340 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 3: guys have done something totally different. You've actually conceived I 341 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 3: call it a populist guide to college. You've actually taken 342 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 3: what's out there and looked at it through fresh eyes 343 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 3: for quite frankly, the bottom ninety percent, and the thing 344 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: is quite fascinating. Walk us through how you guys conceived it. 345 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 3: What is this college guide about and what does it 346 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 3: tell us? 347 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 9: So this is a twentieth anniversary, Thanks for having me on, 348 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 9: by the way, twentieth anniversary of the Washington and the 349 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 9: College Guide. In rankings, this year we redid our methodology 350 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 9: to put an even finer point on what we think 351 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 9: college rankings, which we think are important. But the dozen 352 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 9: of them that are out there, especially US News, totally 353 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 9: miss what's important about college rankings. You know, our college 354 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 9: rankings are about the value for average students, students from 355 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 9: modest means, students who are poor, who are working class, 356 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 9: and they're also for the taxpayers. You know, the average 357 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 9: taxpayer spends about seventeen hundred dollars a year on higher 358 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 9: education because the government spends half a trillion dollars on 359 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 9: higher education, and they, you know, students and taxpayers want 360 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 9: certain things from higher education. We measure those things. And 361 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 9: what are those things. It's number one, upward mobility for 362 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 9: median income and below students, right the people who need 363 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 9: entred into the middle class. Number two, the research that 364 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 9: drives human flourishing economic growth. And then three the encouraging 365 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 9: students to be active citizens, to vote, to serve their 366 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 9: country in the military and AmeriCorps. So those are the 367 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 9: things we measure and the end result. And that's very 368 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 9: different from US News and the other dozen imitators, because 369 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 9: what they're about is capturing the eyeballs of the upper 370 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 9: middle students from the upper middle class and wealthy families 371 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 9: who have been taught since birth to strive to get 372 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 9: into the most selective schools in order to stay in 373 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 9: the upper middle class, in the wealthy class, and so 374 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 9: they're metrics all somehow, surprise surprise, result in the same 375 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 9: twenty or thirty mostly private or big flagship public universities 376 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 9: in the top so that your Harvard's, your Yales, you're 377 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 9: you know, and so forth. And in our ranking, it's 378 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 9: quite different when you measure things the way we measure 379 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 9: it for the app person, in the average taxpayer, a 380 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 9: lot of mostly unsung state schools and small liberal arts 381 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 9: colleges share the top thirty with the elite. And in fact, 382 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 9: the highest ranking elite school at Princeton is number five 383 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 9: on our rankings, behind three California State university campuses, including 384 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 9: Fresno State number two. And the number one school is 385 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 9: probably a college ninety nine percent of your listeners and 386 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 9: viewers have never heard of, and that's Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. 387 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 10: And it's just a fascinating school. 388 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 9: And there's all these hidden gems for people available at 389 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 9: Washington Monthly dot com that they're just not going to 390 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 9: find on other rankings. 391 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: It was amazing. 392 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 3: Well, I want to go back through the methodology, because 393 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: you're right, all the other twenty things have the same 394 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: thirty or four fifty schools all rank and people should 395 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 3: know it's highly competitive among those guys because they want 396 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: to go up. Those rankings are intensely worked. It's like 397 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 3: the Forbes four hundred, right. These guys work at NonStop 398 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 3: because it's very important to be number. You know, for 399 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 3: Harvard is it wants to be above Stanford once, to 400 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 3: be above Princident, once, to be above Yale. Walk me through. 401 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 3: I want to go back through the methodology. How did 402 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: you guys think this through and how did you apply 403 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 3: it and how did you get the information related to that? 404 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 10: Well, funny story. 405 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 9: I used to work for US News for ten years, 406 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 9: so their college ranking was paying my mortgage. I didn't 407 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 9: work on the ranking, but it was part of what 408 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 9: we did. And there was always within US News personnel 409 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 9: kind of sense that something was rotten in Denmark. So 410 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 9: when I took over the Washington Monthly some years later, 411 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 9: we decided to do some investigative pieces about the US 412 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 9: News rankings. We found some pretty hinky stuff about their methodology, 413 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 9: and then we said, all right, smart guy, if you 414 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 9: think you can do a better job, we gave ourselves 415 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 9: the challenge of doing a better job. So in two 416 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 9: thousand and five we created these alternative rankings. And you know, 417 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 9: to understand our rankings, you got to understand US News is. 418 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 9: And they've all evolved over time. But basically, what US 419 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 9: News and most of its competitors do is they measure 420 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 9: colleges by how exclusive they are Number one, right, how 421 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 9: few people you know they get in, how many people 422 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 9: they don't get in. Number two wealth, how much spending 423 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 9: per student, you know, And it used to be they 424 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 9: would measure the donors who would give them money. And 425 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 9: number three prestige, Right, is this self referential survey they 426 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 9: do that asks other college leaders what do you think 427 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 9: of this college? And it's all sort of, well, it's 428 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 9: prestigious because people say it's prestigious. So when you do 429 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 9: it that way, you automatically lift to the top the 430 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 9: Harvard's and the Yales and the Princetons and the Columbias 431 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 9: and the Mits and so forth. We do the opposite, right, 432 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 9: We don't have any SAT requirements. We're not looking at selectivity. 433 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 9: That doesn't get you anything in our rankings. In fact, 434 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 9: you know, our rankings wind up giving bonuses to students, 435 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 9: to schools that take in more kids on PELL right 436 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 9: on pel grants. PEL grants are the grants from the 437 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 9: federal government that go to moderate and low income students. 438 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 9: The more PEL grants you take in as a percentage 439 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 9: and the better those students do, the higher you are 440 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 9: on our rankings. So it's just a very different way 441 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 9: of looking at it, and you get a different result. 442 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 3: You've gone You started at a you started what a 443 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 3: university Missouri and then went to Northwestern. Talked to us 444 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 3: about the because I did the same thing, you know, 445 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 3: I and this is why I talk about the H 446 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 3: one B visas all the time, about the kids that 447 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 3: grinded through the STEM programs and went to engineering schools 448 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 3: and computers, These guys that were number one in their 449 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: class or the top and the hard courses. You know, 450 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 3: I had I had a while that you know, I 451 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 3: kind of phoned it in right and I went to 452 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 3: land Grant University start off before Georgetown and Harvard. I 453 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 3: worked my way up the food chain. But you did 454 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 3: also when you find out when you go to these institutions, 455 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 3: it's about the teachers, It's about the people around it 456 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 3: that want to learn. I mean, and that's why I 457 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 3: think is so fascinating about your guide. You actually lay 458 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 3: it out that, hey, there's a whole world out here 459 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 3: that you don't have to pay one hundred thousand bucks 460 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 3: a year if you really want an education. 461 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 1: Tell me about your journey. 462 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 10: Yeah, well, I was, you know, not the greatest student 463 00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 10: in the world. 464 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 9: Uh a elementary and middle school, and toward the end 465 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 9: of high school, I finally kind of began to buckle down. 466 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 10: But I didn't have great scores or anything. 467 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 9: So I went to where everybody in my subdivision their 468 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 9: my suburb of Saint Louis went to, which is, uh, 469 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 9: you know, a Missouri State school, University of Missouri. Good, 470 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 9: you know, it's the flagship and and what I and 471 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 9: then I, you know, for for a variety of reasons, 472 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 9: transferred to Northwestern. My brother was there, my best friend 473 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 9: was there. Anyway, what I found was that the quality 474 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 9: of the professors at Northwestern were excellent, but they were 475 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 9: no more excellent than the quality of the professors at 476 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 9: at Missou. They did, they were we have a plethora 477 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 9: of very smart people getting uh, you know, degrees in 478 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 9: this country, struggling to find places to teach. And so, 479 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 9: you know, these universities have their pick of brilliant minds, 480 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 9: and so that the difference in the quality of the 481 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 9: teaching is not so great. 482 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 10: And that kind of opened my mind to the idea that. 483 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 9: This hierarch key at US News was mollarchy and and so. 484 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 9: And in our current issue I mentioned, uh, Fresno State. 485 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 9: I don't know if you know about Fresno State. Freenszo 486 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 9: State is in the heart of the Central Valley, California, 487 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 9: right in Fresno, and they take in total open access school. 488 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 9: It's a kind of school you might have gone to, Steve. 489 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 9: But a lot of their students come from very poor 490 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 9: backgrounds and the president of the school himself came from 491 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 9: a farm family. 492 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 7: Uh. 493 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 9: And a lot of these students are are you know, 494 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 9: dirt poor or modest income. They they don't charge too 495 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 9: much money for the degree. They graduate at higher rates 496 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 9: than you would expect given their demographics. They earn more 497 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 9: than you would expect given their demographics.

There was at seventeen hundred 527 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 3: bucks a year, so you got skin in the game. Paul, 528 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 3: About when I saw that you had Fresno State. I 529 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 3: don't even know if Victory Davis Hanson remembers this, but 530 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 3: the first time I became aware of him was I 531 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 3: think in the late nineties. I'm reading my copy of 532 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,239 Speaker 3: the Financial Times of London, which I know people know 533 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 3: that I'm as one of my favorite, not the favorite paper, 534 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 3: and they've got an op ed about this guy I 535 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 3: never heard of from Fresno State. And he's talking about 536 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 3: because he's a classicist, that that's what he teaches at 537 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 3: Fresno State. He describes as students exactly like you just 538 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 3: describe him, because he lives up he's he comes off 539 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 3: a farming family up in that in the valley up 540 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 3: there near Fresno State. He talks about his students being 541 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 3: these working class Hispanic and working class American kids and 542 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 3: Hispanic Americans that worked on the farms, et cetera. He's 543 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 3: teaching Thacidides, the Peloponnesian War, he's teaching Heratus, He's teaching 544 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 3: all the classic Greeks and Romans, and they can't get 545 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 3: enough of it, and they're relating it to their experience 546 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 3: in life and growing up. And he just says, hey, 547 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 3: you know, I've gone to some of the better schools 548 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 3: in the country, but this is an open Uh. You know, 549 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: these folks are are mesmerized by this. They just need 550 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 3: to be given access to this information. And now he's 551 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 3: at He's at Stanford many of the years later coming 552 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 3: off the Fresno State faculty. 553 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: So there's a lot there. 554 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 3: I mean, that's why Fresno State, the places like Fresno 555 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 3: State are tremendous value for the dollar. And if you 556 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: get in there and you and you want an education, 557 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 3: and and you meet the right people, you can do 558 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 3: just as well there as you can do in Princeton 559 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 3: and Harvard and Yale in Northwestern Sir, your your observations. 560 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 9: Well, first, you know, Victor David Hanson's first book, I 561 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 9: think was about the Greek way of war, and uh, 562 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 9: you know, he he wrote quite specifically about the efforts 563 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 9: of different Greek UH city states to destroy each other's crops, 564 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,479 Speaker 9: and he said that is almost impossible to do. I 565 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 9: know because I grew up on a farm, so so 566 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 9: you know that that story is. 567 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 10: Rings true to me. 568 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 9: And I'm sure he found perfectly brilliant young people at 569 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 9: Fresno State who probably didn't have the preparation from their 570 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 9: you know, communities and high schools UH to have read 571 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 9: some of these classic texts before. 572 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 10: And you know, for some of them it was probably 573 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 10: mind blowing. For others. 574 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 9: You know, they're there at college just to get ahead, right, 575 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 9: They've got they've got that, you know, they need to 576 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 9: get a good job to rise above their station, or 577 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 9: at least stay there. And the classes at these schools. Look, 578 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 9: there are a lot of schools. We were at fourteen 579 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 9: hundred plus colleges and universities. There's a whole bunch at 580 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 9: the bottom, right, And there are all kinds of colleges 581 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 9: down there that do very, very poorly. Some of them 582 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 9: are for profits, some of them are art schools, some 583 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 9: of them are religious schools. A lot of them are 584 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 9: state schools. It's not like this whole class of colleges 585 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 9: is good or bad. But you can find great schools 586 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 9: across the country, and especially in certain states like California, 587 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 9: like New York, like North Carolina, like Florida, that have 588 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 9: strong centralized systems of governance of their public universities and 589 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 9: that have long decades old commitments political commitments to keeping 590 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 9: costs down tuition down for in state uh modest and 591 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 9: low income students. So there's a lot of states where 592 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 9: that just isn't the case and there and if you 593 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 9: go to college in those at public universities in those states, 594 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 9: it's more costly. 595 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 3: Paul, Where do people go to get access to the 596 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 3: to the list. It's fascinating and everybody will take a 597 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: look at this. And then what is your social media? 598 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 9: Washington Monthly dot com.

It was 632 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 2: running rampant and it had no impediments inside the government. 633 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 2: So right in a period of time, when James Comy's 634 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: FBI is investigating Hillary Clinton's classified email scandal or use 635 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: of an improper use of a private server to move 636 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 2: classified secrets and do government business, he closed down that investigation. 637 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 2: Now he knows all the liabilities about it because he 638 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 2: talked about at a press conference. And a few months 639 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 2: later he's working on a leak machine to go after 640 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: Donald Trump and use the media to dirty up Donald 641 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 2: Trump and his inner circle are using not making this up, 642 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 2: private email to facilitate the leak. And the investigators after 643 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,040 Speaker 2: comb he's fired, discover this and they're like, wait a second, 644 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: This chief of staff took a piece of information from 645 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 2: the FBI system, moved it to the private emails so 646 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,879 Speaker 2: he could facilitate an unauthorized leak to the medium. They 647 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: try to investigate it, and they can't get the US 648 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 2: Attorney's Office under Donald Trump, nonetheless, under Jeff Sessions, under 649 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 2: Bill Barr, under Rod Rosenstein, they can't even get permission 650 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 2: to obtain that the records from that email account and 651 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 2: investigate it thoroughly, and like all the other known crimes 652 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 2: and known abuses in government, it gets shut down without 653 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 2: a penalty. But of all the people to be having 654 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 2: people around them using private email to cover great government 655 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 2: business or to facilitate leaks, James Cobey should have been 656 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 2: the last. And there he is with his team doing 657 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 2: the very thing that he was condemning at a podium 658 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: a few months earlier when he gave the magic Pass 659 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 2: to Hillary Clinton. So that's the latest revelation. 660 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,360 Speaker 3: Hang on, hang on, hang on, my head's go for 661 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 3: two things. Okay, let's bifocate it. 662 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 1: Number one. 663 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, number one, because this was the 664 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 3: thing over years, and this was this huge thing that 665 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 3: they're blaking. You know this this if you go back 666 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,919 Speaker 3: to sixteen, the summer sixteen. So they had this set 667 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 3: up and then he kind of waved off the end. 668 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 3: But they knew what she did. There's no doubt in 669 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 3: your mind. They knew what she did was wrong. Let's 670 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 3: forget whether she's proseuent. They knew what she did was wrong, right, 671 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 3: no question about it. 672 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, call me said it himself. He said it just 673 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 2: I'm not going to prosecute it. 674 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 3: And these and these are the guys, and these are 675 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 3: guys investigated so shortly thereafter knowing it was wrong, knowing 676 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 3: they were doing a formal investigation of what was a 677 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 3: crime or potentially a crime, they then go and they're 678 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 3: still running the most revered law enforcement institution in the world, 679 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 3: they go and do the exact same thing. 680 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: Is that what you're telling. 681 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,479 Speaker 2: Me, That's what these documents show. These is what Cash 682 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 2: Matel found and made public and that um Bondi declassified 683 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 2: and now sitting out there. So it is shocking, and 684 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 2: it also reminds us how much the Jeff Sessions Bill 685 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 2: bar Justice Department let us down. These are all things 686 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 2: we could have known before the twenty twenty election, and 687 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 2: instead they were buried in a drawer. Il Cash Mitel 688 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,320 Speaker 2: and Pam Bondi dug them out. 689 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: Okay, but hang on, hang on. 690 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 3: That gets my thing, because you talk about the rot 691 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 3: of the institutions, this is the leadership of the FBI. 692 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 3: They went, they knew it was wrong, they knew it 693 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,359 Speaker 3: was potentially criminal. There's this whole controversy about while they 694 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 3: waved off, they then set up the exact same thing. 695 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: This shows you the rot. It's these institutions. 696 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 3: But even I think almost as bad as then the 697 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,800 Speaker 3: guys that come in that are supposed to be the 698 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 3: guys that reformed the place, they take a look at 699 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 3: this information and hang on. 700 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 1: Not only do they not pursue. 701 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 3: It, they never ranted up the chain of command so 702 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 3: anybody would know that was going on. This was all, 703 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 3: as you said, buried until cash kind of found them 704 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 3: in the boxes in you know, in the in the 705 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 3: in the secure closet that nobody's supposed to go into. 706 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 1: Is that what happened here? 707 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,279 Speaker 3: Not only did they not they review it and not investigate, 708 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 3: but they never told anybody of the change of commander 709 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 3: or over the White House of what they had. 710 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: Is that are the part of the story. 711 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 2: I think it's probably true that Jeff Sessions are a 712 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 2: Bill Barr or the deputy attorney general or certainly the 713 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,799 Speaker 2: acting deputy attorneys No, Dana Bonte definitely knew, but it 714 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 2: doesn't ever get to the White House. I talked to 715 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 2: people in the White House that they were shocked to 716 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 2: see this story this morning, like, oh my god, you 717 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,879 Speaker 2: got to be kid. You can't make this up. Yeah, 718 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 2: that's what it is. You bury it. And that culture 719 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 2: is why Joe Biden felt no danger in using a 720 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 2: private email to do all his pseudonym emails for government business. 721 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 2: Everybody knew no one would get punished, so they did it. 722 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 4: They just flaunted the law. 723 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 2: And I wonder how many people in the last four 724 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 2: years under Biden's second administration we're doing the same thing 725 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 2: because there's never been a penalty for it, so why 726 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 2: not do it? 727 00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 1: John, We got a minute or two. 728 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 3: Can you just walk us through now all this we're 729 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 3: you know better than anybody directionally. Were these investigations heading 730 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 3: and kind of the timing of these. 731 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 2: Things, Yeah, there's a lot of grand jury activity. None 732 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,919 Speaker 2: of it looks like the big case set. It looks 733 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,839 Speaker 2: like early ground gathering of documents on different aspects of it. 734 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 2: At some point, I think Pam Bondi makes a decision 735 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 2: to send it to Florida. Two very important things, the 736 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 2: two big stories we broke last week, the knowledge now 737 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 2: that James Comy authorized a leak. According to his own lawyer, 738 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 2: he authorized a classified leak, and according to Adam Schiff's 739 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 2: own Democratic House Intelligence can be stafford he authorized the 740 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 2: classified leak. Those two cases have a ten year statute. 741 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 2: They don't even require a conspiracy case to be made, 742 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 2: So those are early ones for us to see are 743 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 2: they going to do it? They just raided John Bolton's 744 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 2: house outside five years of these alleged defenses. Those also 745 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 2: are signaling that maybe they're going to do take on 746 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 2: some of these classified leaks as a beginning strategy why 747 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 2: they build a larger conspiracy case. I wouldn't be surprised 748 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 2: if we saw our first charges in the fall. If 749 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 2: Pam Bondi says we go to Christmas and they're no charges, 750 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 2: I think all of our skepticism is going to be 751 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 2: pretty high real quick. 752 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 3: I'm here it's not the FBI in the investigation part 753 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 3: that the gating event here is just not enough senior 754 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 3: proscratorial hands that can get on top of this. That 755 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 3: the limitation is actually the number of prosecutors we have. 756 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 3: You hear in the same thing, Yeah. 757 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 11: I do. 758 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 2: I think that's a big part of it. They are 759 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 2: starting to ramp up and be helpful. The Senate did 760 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,000 Speaker 2: his job and got more of them through. But I think, listen, 761 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 2: Pambondi has to make a decision. Do we do the 762 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 2: grand conspiracy case or not? Are we going to do it? 763 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 2: And where are we going to do it? And when 764 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 2: that decision is made, that's when you're going to know 765 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 2: that rubbers hit the road and I you know, she 766 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 2: seems to be moving in that direction. And the right 767 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 2: way to do this is make sure you got all 768 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,640 Speaker 2: the evidence and then look at the say that's a conspiracy, 769 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,280 Speaker 2: let's go after it. So it seems like that works underway. 770 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 2: I think Cash and Pambondi are working well together right now. 771 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,120 Speaker 2: And there's a you know, Cash is turning up unbelievable stuff. 772 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 2: So it's Tulsa and so the evidence is now there. 773 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 2: Let's see if the Justice Department is differ this time. 774 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 2: But we want Pam Bondy not to be Bill Barr. 775 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 3: Dude, this story this morning is like it's institutionally. I 776 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 3: don't know if anybody I'm serious, I don't know if 777 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,480 Speaker 3: everybody can change it. So Solomon, you're the best. Where 778 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 3: do people go for all the breaking news on all 779 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 3: these investigations you're putting up. 780 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: Where do folks get your content? 781 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 782 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 2: Real simple, justin news dot com.
