1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,119 Speaker 1: See right here for our final news roundup and information overload. 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 2: All right, News Roundup and information overload. Our toll free 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 2: our number is eight hundred and nine to four one. Sean. 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: If you want to be a part of the program, 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: let me take you back to twenty ten. And you 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: would think that we have made some progress in the 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 2: last fourteen years. But we haven't. And I'll explain why 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: in a moment. But remember Nancy Pelosi famously or infamously 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: said this. 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 3: It's going to be very, very exciting, but we have 11 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 3: to pass the bill so that you can find out 12 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 3: what is in it. 13 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 2: You have to pass the bill so you know what 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 2: is in it. Now we have been in continuing resolution 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: or see our resolution hell now, because Congress did not 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: meet the deadline of passing their appropriations bills. There are 17 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: twelve of them. They're supposed to be passed before the 18 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: fiscal year begins that would have started in October of 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: twenty three. And they've been, you know, now, passing the 20 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: buck down the line and short term crs and this 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 2: CR and slowly passing appropriations bills. But now we have 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: a situation where Congress would like to pass a massive 23 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 2: omnibus bill. Usually you get these while I'm on Christmas vacation, 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 2: because that's that that is the most convenient time when 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 2: people are paying the least amount of attention to what's 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: going on in Washington. Thankfully that didn't happen this year. 27 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: Republicans in the House have tried, they've not had a 28 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: lot of support to try and insist that the omnibus 29 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: bill get passed. This was one of the reasons that 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: Kevin McCarthy was is no longer speaker today. But here 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: we find ourselves up against a Friday deadline and what 32 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: will be well over one thousand page omnibus bill, and 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: as far as I know, as of this hour, the 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: bill has not been produced, in other words, giving people 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: time to read it, and yet they want to schedule 36 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: votes for this bill in the House. In the Senate, 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 2: my last understanding was on Friday. Anyway, Senator Mike Lee 38 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: of Utah is trying to get this stopped. I don't 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: know if he's going to be able to Senator welcome 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: back to the program. 41 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: Thank you, Sean going to be with you as always. 42 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 2: All right, So can you explain to me that I 43 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 2: did I fairly accurately describe the scenario, the situation in Washington. 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 3: Yes, you stated it well. And what's so sad here, Sean, 45 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 3: is that the American people are shut out of the 46 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 3: process completely. They're going to have to pay for all 47 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 3: this stuff. This bill is going to spend well in 48 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: excess of a trillion dollars. It's almost certainly going to 49 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 3: be well in excess of a thousand pages. It'll include 50 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: hundreds of earmarks. And it's Wednesday afternoon on the East Coast. 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: They expect us to pass this thing by Friday, before 52 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: Friday at midnight, when the government will run out of funding, 53 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: and they still refuse to show us the legislative text. 54 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 3: So what would any normal legislative body do in the circumstance, Well, 55 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 3: they shouldn't have waited this long. But if it's taken 56 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 3: longer than they expected to propose the bills, fine, but 57 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: you still have to give members the opportunity to read it, 58 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 3: to get input from their constituents, to debate it and 59 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 3: amend it before passing it, and not up against the 60 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: rush of a contrived government's shutdown threat. 61 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: It's an artificial deadline that they have created. And considering 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: all of this should have been done by October first 63 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three. I don't think the extra time 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: that you are requesting is that big an ask. You're 65 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 2: really talking about three weeks or so. 66 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: Right exactly. All I'm trying to do is extend this 67 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: out to April twelfth. So I went to the Senate 68 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: for today and I proposed legislations that would move the 69 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: spending deadline back to April twelfth, keeping the government funded 70 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: as is between now in April twelfth, simply to give 71 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: the American people the chance to weigh in on it 72 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: with their senators and representatives, and give us a chance 73 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: to prepare amendments and debate them. And it's a very 74 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: reasonable request, and get the Democrats objective. Senator Patty Murray 75 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 3: from the state of Washington came to the floor and 76 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: objected to that. Her reasoning, Sean was absolutely stunning. She 77 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 3: showed up and effectively said, look, this is a dune deal. 78 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: This is already gotten bipartisan agreement. It's a dumb deal. Well, 79 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 3: that's strange because nobody's seen it. If this bill exists 80 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 3: at all, they're not showing it to us. And that's 81 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: a real problem when stuff like this gets drafted in secret. 82 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: The American people suffered, and this is why we are 83 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: thirty four and a half trillion dollars in debt. 84 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 2: Well, now let me ask you. You have fellow Republican senators, 85 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: there are many of them. I'm sure you have spoken 86 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: to many of them. Are they supporting you in this effort? 87 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: Or do they want to just, you know, wash their 88 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 2: hands of all of this and walk away? 89 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: A number of them are I would say that most 90 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 3: of them are supportive of the concepts that we ought 91 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 3: to have input into this and we ought not just 92 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: become a rubber stamp for what I refer to as 93 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: the firm, meaning the law firm of Schumer, McConnell, Johnson, 94 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 3: and Jefferies. We should be more than a rubber stamp. 95 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: That's what we were elected to do, to make law, 96 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 3: rather than just salute and rubber stamp whatever the firm 97 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 3: tells us to do. I think most Senate Republicans agree 98 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 3: with me on that point. We will see how many 99 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 3: of them are willing to stand with us, and how 100 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 3: many of them are willing to withhold what's called cloture, 101 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: which is bringing debate to a close that takes sixty votes, 102 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 3: which necessarily requires some Republican cooperation. We'll see how many 103 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 3: are willing to withhold closures unless you're until their sevens. 104 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 3: We're given adequate opportunities to debate this thing. 105 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: Well, okay, so I know you're going to have conservatives. 106 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: I would assume that people like Ted Cruz and and 107 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: Ram Paul, and I would believe Senator Rubio and probably 108 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: Senator Scott. I've got to imagine that there's going to 109 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: be a group of you. Will there be a group 110 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: of your fellow senators that are Republican that will want 111 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: to go along with this omnibus bill. 112 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: Some of them, I fear, will look at what happened 113 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 3: with the last omnibus sean that they were there seventeen 114 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: or eighteen who decided to support cloture on the bill, 115 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 3: notwithstanding the rushed nature of the thing, notwithstanding the hundreds 116 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 3: of earmarks in there that goes contrary to Senate Republican policy, 117 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: notwithstanding the fact that we had been shut out of 118 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 3: any meaningful opportunity for debate and amendment of the bill. 119 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: That was unfortunate and they shouldn't have done that. I 120 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 3: will continue to implore my colleagues not to do it again. 121 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 3: But it passed his prologue, we could be heading for that. 122 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 4: Again. 123 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 3: The problem here is that the American people are tired 124 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: of this. Whether they're Democratic or Republican voters, they deeply 125 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 3: care about the fact that we're thirty four and a 126 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 3: half trillion dollars in debt, and very few members of 127 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 3: either chamber who vote for this nonsense have been held 128 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 3: to account, like they're going to be in the near 129 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: future when this all comes crumbling down. 130 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: Well, if people, by the way, if they would like 131 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: to get involved in contact their elected official, there's a 132 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 2: way to do that. There is the switchboard in Washington, DC, 133 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 2: and it's very simple. It's two two two two four 134 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: thirty one twenty one. And as we've given this number 135 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: out in the past many times, I just urge people 136 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: to be polite and respectful. However, you can be asking, 137 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: if you're senators or if you're a congressman or woman, 138 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: if they plan to go along with this, and I 139 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: would say Republicans do have a math problem, Senator, and 140 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 2: part of the math problem in the House is they 141 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: have a very tiny, slim majority, and there are Republicans 142 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: that I'm sure we'll join with Democrats to pass bill 143 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: in the House without reading it in all likelihood, and 144 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: I've got to imagine that there are going to be 145 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: Republican Senators that will join with the Democratic small majority 146 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: that they have under Chuck Schumer, and they will try 147 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: and pass this bill in the Senate. Do you disagree 148 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: with my assessment. I'd like to think that reason and 149 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 2: the fiscal responsibility would win the day, but I don't 150 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: have a lot of hope that's the case. 151 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 3: Right again, passes prologue. What happened last time to the 152 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: extended signals what's going to happen this time was really 153 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 3: unfortunate and doesn't vogue well for our chances here. Nonetheless, 154 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 3: we have yet to see the bill, which tells me something, Sean. 155 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 3: What it tells me is that these guys who are 156 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: the architects of this bill, this small handful of people 157 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 3: working with the firm to produce it, are pretty self 158 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 3: conscious about something. I wonder if if they're really fearing 159 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: the public backlash, and that's why they're trying to whittle 160 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: down to nothing our opportunity to And so I call 161 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: on all of my Republican colleagues in the Senate and 162 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 3: our counterparts in the House don't do this. We don't 163 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: have to do it this way. If Republicans in either chamber, 164 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: especially both, but either chamber, just say no to this 165 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 3: way doing things, it won't happen anymore. By the way, 166 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 3: they can stay breast. Your listeners can stay updated on 167 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: this if they want to follow me on X and 168 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 3: at base, might leave, base, might LEA will keep you 169 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 3: informed of what's happening. But we really have to stop 170 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: this from occurring. We are losing our sovereignty, We're losing 171 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 3: our safety as a country. There's nothing that we expect 172 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 3: in this bill. We anticipate a complete surrender on border security. 173 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 3: This is our last shot, our last opportunity this year 174 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 3: to have meaningful leverage over the Biden administration to force 175 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: them to secure the border. If we blow it here, 176 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 3: this doesn't, as I expect, contain border security language that 177 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: would force the Biden administration to shore up our border. 178 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: We will have heard really severely well. 179 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I've been telling Republicans that they really need 180 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: to focus on two very specific and important issues. One 181 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 2: involves our national security and the biggest I think national 182 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: security threat in our lifetime, which is our borders, and 183 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: the second being the budget, because we are on a 184 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: trajectory that I would argue will bring the country to 185 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 2: the brink of bankruptcy. That's why I think it would 186 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: be important to call your congressmen or congresswoman and your 187 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: senators at two two two two four thirty one twenty 188 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: one and let them know how you feel. My question is, 189 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: is this already baked in? In other words, are there 190 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: enough Republicans in the House and the Senate that we 191 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: know of that have agreed to this regardless of nobody 192 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: having read it. 193 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: But it's impossible to agree to something that you can't 194 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 3: agree to because it doesn't exist. I would imagine that 195 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: there are enough who are planning to vote for it 196 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 3: that it would go through if they all in fact 197 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: voted that way. But the cake isn't baked until you 198 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: cast the vote, and you shouldn't decide how you're going 199 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: to vote on this or on anything else until you've 200 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 3: seen it and you know what's in it. So I 201 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 3: would ask everyone to encourage their senators and their congressmen 202 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: to not commit to supporting anything anything until they've seen 203 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: the bill, and commit to make sure that members have 204 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 3: the opportunity to read it, discuss it with their constituents 205 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 3: debate amendments on it before finally voting on the bill. 206 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,679 Speaker 3: We owe the people nothing less than that. 207 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 2: Well, I tend to agree with you, and I hope 208 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: people will follow your lead on it again. You know, 209 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 2: I'll give out the number I ask people be respectful. 210 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: Call you congressman or a congresswoman. Call your senators two 211 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: two two two four thirty one twenty one. Senator Mike Lee. 212 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: We appreciate your time, and we'll see what happens in 213 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: the forty eight hours. 214 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. 215 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: Sean, all right, eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, if 216 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 2: you want to be a part of the program. And 217 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: I got to tell you, it's just it's it's just 218 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: the way, sadly Republicans just cave constantly. All right, that's 219 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: just more busy telephones here. Let's say hi to James. 220 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: He's in South Carolina today, James, how are you hi? 221 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 5: Sean good good. I have a comment on the fine 222 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 5: from the judge in New York. I just have no 223 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 5: idea how he arrived at such a high fine. To me, 224 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 5: it sounds just like cruel and unusual punishment because it 225 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 5: doesn't align with any of their claims, you know, it 226 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 5: seems speculation. And if I if I carry that to 227 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 5: an example that most people could relate to is when 228 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 5: when you get your property taxes from the town and 229 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 5: you have an assessed value, you can usually go to 230 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 5: the town assessor and you can make an argument. You 231 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 5: can say, hey, my house isn't worth that much. It 232 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 5: needs a new roof, or it needs work and needs 233 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 5: remodeling and so on, and you can argue. And I 234 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: know people who did that and they got their taxes reduced. 235 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 5: But at the same time that owner can turn to 236 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 5: their real estate agent or a potential buyer and say, 237 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 5: how wonderful their place is, and it's in pristine condition, 238 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 5: it's worth so much more to try to sell it 239 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 5: at a higher price. So if we follow judge Ergon's 240 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 5: and Gerns logic, then everyday Americans should completely lose their 241 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 5: home and pay hefty fines for doing something like this. 242 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 5: How does that make any sense? 243 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense. And this is excessive. And 244 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: I do think that a lot of smart attorneys are 245 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: rightly saying, arguing on eight Amendment grounds, that this just 246 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: so obviously crosses a line that it can't stand. But 247 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: With all that said, I mean, you have Democrats all 248 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: over New York salivating at the idea of confiscating Donald 249 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: Trump properties, and you have to ask why would that happen. 250 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,239 Speaker 2: The person that is most guilty of a false evaluation, 251 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 2: a false valuation would be the judge in the case, 252 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: who still to this day is arguing our a lagos. 253 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: Only were they eight million dollars. That is a joke. 254 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 2: It's closer to a billion dollars. And you could talk 255 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: to any realtor in Palm Beach, Florida and they will 256 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 2: tell you that is the same. Never mind the fact 257 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: that nobody there's no agreed party here, never mind the 258 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: fact that there were disclaimers in every contract, meaning that 259 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 2: the Trump organization was telling lenders and insurers, don't go 260 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: by our valuations, use your own valuations, which they had 261 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: a fiduciary responsibility to do. But to do this it 262 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: now just transcends a line because it is law fair. 263 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 2: It is an abuse of power. It is the weaponization 264 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: of justice in America at the highest level. And if 265 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: they can do it to Trump, they'll do it to others. 266 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: It's the way it works. Anyway, Appreciate the call quick 267 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: break right back.

Why 342 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 4: can he not post the bond? And why aren't banks 343 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 4: and anyone like yourself or you know, maybe some of 344 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 4: the celebrity friends that have some money loaning him the money. 345 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, you're asking a very fair and 346 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: good question, and I give you a credit for that. 347 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 2: Let me quote Mark Cuban. You know, Mark Cuban does 348 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 2: not like Donald Trump, right, you know he's a billionaire himself. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay. 349 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: I thought he gave a very interesting answer responding to 350 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: you know, leftist congress person Ted Low of California who 351 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 2: used the hashtag Trump is broke. No, he's not broke, 352 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: but anyway, Mark Cuban actually said, you know, and the 353 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: argument was, well, Trump claims he's a billionaire, but you 354 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 2: know he can't pay a four hundred and sixty four 355 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: million dollar judgment. That means he's lying. How do I know, man? 356 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: That's what Lu said. Now, I've had debates with Mark Cuban. 357 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: I get along with him, even though we don't agree 358 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: on much politically. He's a billionaire, he's an entrepreneur and 359 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,479 Speaker 2: former Shark Tank host. And he came to Trump's defense 360 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 2: with a very lengthy response. And it might be valuable 361 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 2: to you because they're both billionaires here. And what he 362 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 2: said is that when you're arguing about the net worth, 363 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 2: it's completely different than whatever cash on hand any individual 364 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 2: or corporation might have. And he says to Ted Lewis, says, Ted, 365 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 2: you know, I'm no supporter of Donald Trump, that's for 366 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 2: damn sure. He says, but how anyone can vote for 367 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: someone and he goes on to trash Trump. Then he says, 368 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: he says, but you're wrong on this topic. And he 369 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 2: noted that in a zero interest rate environment, it would 370 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: have been dumb for Trump to keep cash in a 371 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: bank or a money market account. Also dumb was you know, 372 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 2: keeping interest rates low for as long as they were. 373 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 2: He said something as well, And what he's saying is 374 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 2: one thousand percent. Correct. I don't know if you do 375 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: any investing on your own, but this would you know, 376 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 2: up up to the point when interest rates were low, 377 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 2: would be crazy. If you were keeping money in the bank, 378 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: you would In some cases you were getting no interest 379 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 2: at all. 380 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 4: You know. 381 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: Now at least you can get a treasury for a 382 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 2: year for you know what, a five percent interest on 383 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 2: your money. Now there's also another issue, and that is 384 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: the absolute astronomical figure. Now you got to have the 385 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 2: facts in the case. Let's make sure we're on the 386 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 2: same page. You do know this was a civil case, correct, correct? 387 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: All right? 388 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: You do know that this was about valuations when Donald 389 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 2: Trump was applying for loans for expensive properties hundreds of 390 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 2: millions of dollars, and for insurance policies on these properties, 391 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 2: hundreds of millions of dollars for insurance. You understand that, 392 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: right right, We're all in Oh no, no, no, stay 393 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: with me, don't don't go rogue here, Okay, follow me. Now, 394 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 2: you do know that valuations are subjective. In that there 395 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: was a Deutsche Bank partner of Donald Trump and lend 396 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: them money. There was no complaint. Nobody complained about the 397 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 2: business dealings with Donald Trump. They all got paid back, 398 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: they all got the interest they agreed to. You are 399 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 2: aware of that fact, correct. 400 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 4: Yes, But Deutsche Bank did have issues so. 401 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: Long, so long, not in this case. And you do 402 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 2: know that Donald Trump had a disclaimer in every one 403 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 2: of his applications and contracts. You are aware of that 404 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: that stated very affirmatively not to go by their valuations. 405 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: You're aware of. 406 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: That, right, yep. Everybody do their own due diligence, and. 407 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: You do know that it would be the fiduciary responsibility 408 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 2: of any lending institution or insurance company. You're right to 409 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 2: do their own due diligence and never to count on 410 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 2: a lender or an insured individual for what they think 411 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: their valuations are, because, as the Deutsche Bank executive said, 412 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 2: those things are subjective. 413 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 4: Correct, correct, So Deutsche Bank right now? 414 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 2: Can I finish now? You also are aware that one 415 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 2: of the valuations was made by the judge in this case, 416 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 2: and that's judge and goron. You are aware of that. 417 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 4: Right, yep. And it was unfair. 418 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 2: It was unfair. Oh interesting, so that the very thing 419 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,439 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump was being accused of the judge in 420 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: this case was guilty of. You agree with that one 421 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 2: percent Okay, so he's valuing a place like mar Lago. 422 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 2: Now do you watch my TV show I do a 423 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 2: little bit, all right? Have you ever seen me put properties. 424 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: There's one two acre parcel of oceanfront property in Palm 425 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 2: Beach that is was I don't know if it's for 426 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: sale anymore, but was sale for two hundred million dollars. 427 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 2: Did you see that? 428 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 4: Yep? 429 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: And another one for one hundred and fifty million that 430 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: had a road between the ocean and the house and 431 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 2: the property. You know that too, right, And it was 432 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: an this is dirt. We're talking about, no property built, 433 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 2: no home built on the property, right, correct? 434 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 4: Correct? 435 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: All right? So, now if you extrapolate out that money 436 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: and Goron's eighteen million dollar pony valuation, and you've got 437 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 2: twenty two acres at mar a Lago, you've got the 438 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: inner coastal side, and you've got the beach club. You've 439 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 2: got a property in pristine condition that has over fifty 440 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 2: some odd rooms, and it has other properties adjacent and 441 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 2: on the property that people can live in and forty 442 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: some odd bathrooms and two clubs associated with it. And 443 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: it is officially a historic property in Palm Beach, Florida. 444 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 2: You are aware of that. 445 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 4: Too, right, yep, none of that is being discredited. 446 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 2: Okay, So then you tell me how is that fair? 447 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 2: In your liberal mind? How is it fair that a 448 00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 2: judge can use the worst valuation off by simple math 449 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 2: by nearly a billion dollars and then adjudicate a foreigner 450 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: in sixty four million dollar judgment against Donald Trump? Does 451 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 2: that sound like justice to you? 452 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 4: No, it doesn't, And if you give me a moment, 453 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 4: i'll explain. I agree with you. I think he was 454 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 4: treated very unfairly, and I think the evaluations were wrong. 455 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: But the question I had was how come we can't 456 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 4: pay the bonds? And why isn't someone loaning him like me? 457 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 4: Can you answer those two questions? 458 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 2: I don't know people that have that kind of money, 459 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 2: but I you know, I don't know if people are 460 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 2: maybe in the process of helping him that that would 461 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 2: be a separate issue. However, you agree that all of 462 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: this is unfair. If all of this is unfair, why 463 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: would the judge demand the payment before he even gets 464 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 2: a chance to appeal. Doesn't that sound like mob justice, 465 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 2: as Jonathan Turley called it, No. 466 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 4: Because then everyone would appeal everything. If you don't really 467 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 4: put up. 468 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, you don't answering. You admit that 469 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: this was a very unfair case. I've got you to 470 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 2: acknowledge that, and that the judge is more guilty than 471 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: the person accused of a phony evaluation. Would you agree 472 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 2: with that statement? 473 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 4: Yes, But this whole conversation, you're turning it around to me. 474 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 4: I'm just asking you a question. 475 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 2: No, but I'm saying so you're expecting somebody a judge 476 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: that wouldn't even allow an appeal, even though you are 477 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: saying there are egregious problems with this case, even though 478 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 2: that that this should not happen in America, you would 479 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 2: agree that shouldn't happen. If there's a conservative judge and 480 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,239 Speaker 2: they did this to Mark Cuban or any you know, 481 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: a wealthy liberal, you wouldn't think it's fair either, and 482 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 2: you wouldn't want that. You would want the person to 483 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 2: have an opportunity to appeal, wouldn't you? 484 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 4: Yes, Sean, life's not fair. My question is does he 485 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 4: have life? 486 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: Life's not fair? Four hundred and sixty four billion dollars 487 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 2: million dollars, a half of billion dollars, and you think 488 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 2: he should just have the cash laying around now? To 489 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: his attorneys filed with the court that they have gone 490 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 2: to every bond company that does the kind of work, 491 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 2: and none of them will ever issue a bond with 492 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 2: that kind of money because it's not the business that 493 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: they're in. The I used to ever seeing a judgment 494 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 2: like that, So is it now? Donald Trump is then 495 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: put in the position either to fire sale his properties 496 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 2: or you know, every case I should have a right 497 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 2: to be appealed, and then I would turn to the 498 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 2: Eighth Amendment of our Constitution and file a petition in 499 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: federal court. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive 500 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 2: fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Do you 501 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: think that that is likely what happened here? Listen, No, no, no, no, 502 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: I asked you. 503 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 4: Agreed with you. I have agreed with you that. 504 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 2: So if you agree that the Eighth Amendment to our 505 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 2: Constitution is applicable, then why don't you just stand for 506 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: justice and stop asking silly questions about why can't a 507 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 2: billionaire liquidate his properties and sell them, because that's what 508 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 2: you're asking him to do. You're asking in thirty days now, 509 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: there's no good investor that's going to buy a property 510 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: in thirty days at the cost that we're talking at 511 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 2: cost point we're talking about anyway they're gonna do their 512 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 2: due diligence, which they should do, so that would be 513 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 2: physically impossible. Also, but any reasonable judge would give him 514 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 2: the time to appeal, and while he's appealing, figure out 515 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: a way, a plan B if this judgment stayed, which 516 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 2: I don't think it will stay. 517 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 4: Okay, the facts are and we agreed that this is 518 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 4: very much a bad precedent to go on. But only 519 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 4: question I'm asking you is he said he had four 520 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty million dollars cash last year. Where is 521 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 4: that money that he said he had. 522 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 2: I don't recall him ever saying that. However, I defer 523 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: to a billionaire, of which I am not like somebody 524 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 2: like Mark Cuban, who I think was being very fair 525 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 2: and he hates Trump as it as a billionaire, But 526 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: you're not. I assume you're not a billionaire. There aren't 527 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: very many of them. Are you a billionaire? 528 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 4: No, not even close? Some a thousand h Well, I. 529 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: Mean, and by the way, you can thank Joe Biden 530 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 2: for paying more for everything. Say thank you, Joe. He's 531 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: your president, and so I'm just saying to you, you're 532 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 2: asking something that is maybe sounds easy for you to 533 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 2: pull off, but I am just telling you the reality is, 534 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 2: I agree with Mark Cuban, that is a near impossibility 535 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 2: for somebody that is as an even you know, low 536 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 2: level of investing intelligence, you wouldn't have anywhere near that 537 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 2: amount of cash laying around. You just wouldn't. And it's 538 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 2: impossible to liquidate in thirty days. There's your answer. 539 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 4: I'm not a self proflaimed billionaire though, who said, who 540 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 4: has you know, no reason for special interest? And he's rich, 541 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 4: so that's right. 542 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: Well, I'm just telling you there is no way to 543 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,959 Speaker 2: liquidate his money in that short period of time. It 544 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: is impossible. And they're asking the impossible, and they're adding 545 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: more than this. This is more injustice that is thrown 546 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 2: and heaped upon Donald Trump because people, hey, Donald Trump. 547 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 2: And that's the sad part of it. And you've acknowledged 548 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: all of it. And what you should the question you 549 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 2: really ought to be asking is what the hell is 550 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: going on in this country that our Department of Justice 551 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 2: has been so weaponized that this can happen to any American. 552 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 2: I will tell you any conservative ever does this to 553 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: a liberal, I will stand with you and defend them 554 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 2: against the injustice. Okay, all right, God bless all right. 555 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 2: Appreciate the call, and I appreciate you actually being honest 556 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 2: and answering the questions honestly, because not all liberals would.

That's a credit to you, right, Linda. 558 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 2: I think he deserves profs with that. 559 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 5: Honestly. 560 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 2: I thought he was great.
