WEBVTT - Jim Acosta & Stacey Young 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.160 Hi, I'm Molly John Fast and this is Fast Politics, 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.120 where we discussed the top political headlines with some of 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:12.119 today's best minds, and Ray Dalyio says, the AI bubble 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.160 is reaching great depression territory. We have such a great 0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:19.759 show for you today, the Jim Agosta Shows. Jim Agosta 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:24.560 stops by to talk about Republican Congressman Max Miller as 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:29.760 the albatross hanging over the GOP's head. Then we'll talk 0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:33.199 to former Justice Department employee and the head of the 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:38.199 Justice Connection, Stacy Young, about how dangerous it is to 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.600 confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General. 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:44.720 But first the news, Smiley, we are having the Senate 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.320 move ahead on a bill that would avert a government 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.440 shut down. And I think it's a very interesting thing here. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:55.320 The base seems to say shut it the fuck down, 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.920 and as always, leadership is not doing with the base wants. 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.480 What are you seeing here? I'm kind of perplexed, if 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:02.960 I'm being. 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.600 Honest, Scatin emboldened Jesse Cannon because his party. You know, 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:08.039 I'm just. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:11.440 Kidding my party. What's my party? Well, you know by 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:12.360 wig of the party. 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.960 Listen, I'm teasing you. I'm teasing you you're a wing 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.720 of the party. Okay, the wide bobs, that's right. Here's 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.400 the deal. This is another reconciliation to keep the government open, 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:28.120 another stop gap spending bill. That's because Republicans cannot get 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.199 their shit together to legislate, and so we're just stop 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.679 gap to stop gap to stop gap. You'll remember that 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.840 Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency and 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:42.360 they shut down the government they could not agree on 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.160 DHS and they had the longest government shut down ever 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:51.400 for DHS. And they did that because they are ideologically 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.480 completely at sea. They have one thing that they all 0:01:56.480 --> 0:02:00.280 believe in, and that's Fieldy to dealer leader. So we 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.680 got a quote here from the leader of the Democrats, 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:09.440 the Senate Minority leader, that is very much like the 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.280 kind of thing we see from him. For months, Democrats 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.520 have been clear, we want to fund the government. I 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:19.440 don't know why advert a shutdown again? Why and pass 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:25.080 strong bipartisan appropriations bills that improve people's lives. Do you 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.519 think that this administration wants to improve people's lives? 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:29.000 I do not. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:34.600 Right, Democrats want the base wants them to obstruct, and 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:39.560 here we are. So Senator Patty Murray of Washington, the 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.919 top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, said, enabling this rule, 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:49.480 and basically the rule is that would allow the administration 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:54.200 to cancel grants based on the recipients if they do 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:59.200 not conform to President Trump's political views. I swear to god, 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:01.440 this is something are trying to do. Okay, they want 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.640 to cancel grants. These are grants like you know, the 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.519 grant to study the Osprey is Donald Trump doesn't like ospres, 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:12.000 so it's canceled a grant to study. These are like, 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.640 this is your tax dollars going to science, except science 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:19.280 Trump doesn't like, then he can cancel it. So enabling 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.040 this rule, according to Patty Murray, would give Trump the 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.400 green light to take even more federal funding hostage. Of course, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:30.680 she's right. So it is just a complete fucking disaster. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:36.760 This crew cannot fucking shoot straight. And here we are 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:42.840 in just nightmare fuel scenario, and there we go. The 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:47.400 legislation they do is insane and bad. Legislation they don't 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:52.000 do is insane and bad. It is a just a 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.240 complete fuckery over there. And they're all trying to just 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.440 pass the stop gap so they can go home for August. 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.480 So we're in that news cycle where we keep finding 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.720 out more and more that the DNC is a shit 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.920 show for lack of a better word, And there's this 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.960 unreleased chapter from the autopsy report that took them forever 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.880 to come out, and it has people. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.680 Going, what So if you or I wrote the autopsy 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.560 of the twenty twenty four cycle, it might say a 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.239 lot of the things that we're in this missing chapter. 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.520 So basically I want to pause for a minute and 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.159 just explain how we got here. Ken Martin, through Paul 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:37.839 rivera under the bus. Paul rivera longtime Democratic consultant, is 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.680 hired by the DNC to write this autopsy. It is 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:46.080 not released by the DNC. By Ken Martin, he decides 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.440 not to release it. He gives a number of reasons 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.640 why never a good sign to give a number of 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:56.200 reasons why. Now the guy who wrote the autopsy is 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.680 pissed because he looks terrible and he basically, remember Ken 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.320 Martin said the autopsy wasn't well written, it was I 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:07.120 am maturish. So the guy who has been being maligned 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.640 now is ready. He's coming back and he's defending himself, 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.159 And like, I just want to pause and say all 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.000 of this could have been avoided, right. You could have 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.840 released the autopsy. You could have released some of the autopsy. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.360 You could have Bill barred it and just done a 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.960 top line on the autopsy because nobody would have read 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:27.560 it anyway. 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.040 I like that verb. 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.360 I like that, right. You could Bill bar it like 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.000 he did with the Muller report, where he was like, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.520 don't read any of this, it's all boring, and then 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:40.320 people didn't because why would they totally exonerated? Nothing to 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.640 see here? But here's what they did. Ken Martin said, 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:48.720 you know, he hit it. And then according to Rivera, 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.240 who wrote this, he said that there was a missing chapter, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:57.960 and so this missing chapter was never released. Now Ken 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:03.680 Martin says, no, there is no missing chapter. Paul Rivera 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.920 said that he printed out the chapter twice basically, and 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.320 the second time Ken Martin said he hadn't seen it. 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.200 So we printed it out and brought it to him. 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.159 So we have a real he said, he said here, right, 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:23.279 and again, this is like the worst case scenario for this, right, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.400 because now we're in like news cycle four hundred and 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:31.000 thirty five about this, We are in more bad news 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.800 cycles about the DNC, right, Like, here's what you want. 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.960 Here are the news cycles about the DNC you want 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.680 to have. Wow they raised a lot of money. Wow 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:45.800 they're good on television. Wow, that guy's really handsome. Here 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.719 are the news cycles we have on the DNC. What 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.960 huh are you kidding? 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.160 You got? I think most of my reactions are you 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.760 got to be fucking kidding me. This fucking guy is 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.840 so incompetent it is unbelievable. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.680 This is all just so bad. Anyway. The point is, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.760 Rivera comes up and says, basically the missing chapter which 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.840 now has its own news cycle, right, not just we 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.120 don't just have like one news cycle on the autopsy. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.760 We have now a news cycle on the missing chapter. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.600 The Missing Chapter basically says the stuff that you and 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.000 I have been saying this whole time, which is, there 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:28.400 are consultants making millions of dollars on Democratic candidates and 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:36.000 they are all absolutely just you know, taking advantage, and 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.440 they're not open to new ideas. And so the everyone 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.480 who is you know, taking a check from people like 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.840 Ken Martin is not giving these people good ideas and 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.880 is not telling candidates to do the smart stuff. So 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:56.400 Nate Silver, who is annoying but also very smart, said 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.640 if you actually read the omitted chapter, good on the 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.600 New York Times for including it. It consists largely of 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:07.600 boilerplate and cliches and mentions Biden's decision to run only 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.880 in passing. I just want to say two other things 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.320 about this. If the autopsy is bad, it's an indictment 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.160 of Ken Martin. If the autopsy is not bad, but 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.240 Ken Martin didn't release it, it is an indictment of 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.200 Ken Martin. This is one of these things where every 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.760 road runs to Ken Martin should resign, right And even 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.240 the fact that you and I are having this conversation 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.680 is a sign that Ken Martin should resign, because the 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:34.000 reality is, if Ben Wickler were the DNC chair, we 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.640 would not be sitting here having a conversation about an 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.360 autopsy that was paid for with DNC dollars and that 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.000 never saw the light of day. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:42.800 Yeah. 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.840 So, in an interesting new thing. One of the most 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:50.000 disgusting things, among many disgusting things of this era, is 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:54.000 the Trump administration try to revoke Haitian refugee status. Now 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.839 they're putting ankle monitors on them. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:01.800 Yesterday in Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, another immigrant died. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.880 Did they die or they murdered, they were put in 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:08.000 a place where they were not given the kind of 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.480 medical care that they needed to stay alive. In my mind, 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.160 you could certainly say that this administration has been responsible 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.559 now for the deaths of many immigrants. This is something 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:24.920 else that they're doing to immigrants that is meant to dehumanize, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:30.080 to make people scared, to make people feel as if 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.760 they're going to be I mean, this is just so basically, 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.640 this is targeting Haitian immigrants who have protected status. So 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:42.319 you'll remember the Supreme Court recently said that immigrants who 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.480 have protected status no longer have it. That's it. It 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:51.320 was like the dread scot of immigrants. Basically that the 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:54.400 protections they had they no longer have and that was it. 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:58.120 With the snap of a finger. They this great experiment, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.280 this great country that you and I both had grandparents 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.760 or actually great grandparents or maybe great great grandparents who 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:09.040 came to this country because this was a place where 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.520 you could get a better life. Well you can't anymore. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:17.160 And if you're a Haitian asylum immigrant, you are fucked 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:23.240 because your protected status is gone. And so what they're 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:28.400 doing before they defort these people, which obviously they are 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.800 planning to is to give them angle monitors and instructions 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.040 not to travel more than seventy five miles from their home. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:43.880 Fifteen thousand immigrants protected Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. They 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.800 pay taxes, they take care of all people, They do 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.959 jobs that a lot of American citizens do not want 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.960 to do, and now they are being bullied and treated 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.960 like criminals. Why are they being treated like criminals? His 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:01.240 administration is filled with racists. That's it. I mean, you 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.160 could say other stuff, but the truth is the races. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.600 That's that's the root of the tree. So it's also 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.920 filled with people who think war adventuring is real fun. Apparently, 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.920 according to a lot of reports, we are planning to 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:19.400 invade fucking Cuba. But then there's this other report from 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:24.000 Reuters that says US used virtually all long range precision 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:28.120 missiles during the Iran War. Great stuff, people, great stuff. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.200 The worst part about this whole story the Ukrainians have 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.000 these really cheap drones that they said they would help 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.800 us use, and we were like, no, now we're using 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:46.240 our million dollar missiles. No, no, no, million dollar, five million dollars, 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:48.600 ten million dollar missiles and so we did, and now 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.400 they're gone. And we've seen a lot of reporting about 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.920 the munitions problem everywhere. So I do think this is 0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:00.400 like an under reported story of the mission of the 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:05.960 missiles and how this administration has just completely burned all 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.960 of these missiles that we desperately need. I mean, we 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.640 actually don't need them and we shouldn't go into Cuba, 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.480 and the whole thing is completely insane. By the way, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.560 I just want to point out President of Venezuela and 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:23.800 his wife still in a New York jail, right, Yvonne, 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:28.839 were still going, right, we were. Donald Trump said again 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.280 that we have a deal and at lowered gas prices, 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.760 but we all know that the Iranian said we don't 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.400 have a deal. So I don't know who you trust 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.080 on that one. And then I mean, it's just like 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:46.319 it's such an insane, insane, insane way to go. I 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:50.520 am absolutely, just completely I mean, I don't even want 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.960 to say shocked is not the right word. It's just 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.040 exactly what you think it's going to be here. Also, 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:00.280 the Trump administration still making noise about Greenland. 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.720 Yep, yep, real, real, great stuff. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.040 Jim Acosta is the author of the Substack the Jim 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.720 Acosta Show and the author of the New York Times 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.640 bestseller The Enemy of the People. A Dangerous time to 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.920 tell the Truth in America, Jim Acosta, I. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:20.280 Molly, good to see you. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.040 Good to see you. We have to start by talking 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:30.800 about Texas Republican Senator John Cornyan and his assessment of 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:37.920 Donald Trump. Basically, my man says, there's nothing we could 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.160 do to reign in the president. 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:47.200 I mean John Bardy, Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, you 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.640 could have voted against Todd Blanche you could have done that, 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.720 but you didn't do that, and we never really thought 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.440 you were going to do that. I don't for all 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.440 the people out there who held out hope for John 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.079 Cornyn in a profile encourage you know, Yeah, this is 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:04.240 the tiniest violin playing for you, whatever that expression is. No, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.640 I think that, you know, it doesn't get more pathetic 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.920 these days than Republican senators twisting themselves into pretzels, trying 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:16.240 to simultaneously look like their own human being with their 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.280 own souls still in their bodies, while also bowing down 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:22.720 to Donald Trump every chance that they get. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:23.560 It is. 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.360 It is one of life's great mysteries, and they're all 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.800 going to go in the Hall of Shame. Years from now, 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.280 we're all going to look back at these clips and say, yes, 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.600 you could have done something. There were things you could 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.000 have done to reign and Donald Trump, and you just 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:40.160 never did any of them because you're a coward. You're 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:44.520 an absolute fucking coward. And you know how many of 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.840 those Republican senators are are there in the Senate, pretty 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.640 much all of them at this point. There are no 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.920 Mitt Romney's, There are no John mccains. Where have you gone, 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:54.000 Joe DiMaggio, etc. 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:54.440 Etc. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.800 There are no Mitt romney's, there are no John McCain's. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:02.200 But there are Max Millers. And there are Max Miller's 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:08.880 and Bernie Moreno's and Bertie Moreno, Republican senator from Ohio. 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:13.600 He is he won the shared Brown seat, which shared 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:19.320 may actually win back the cycle share Brown, champion of workers' rights, 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:27.040 Bernie Moreno, champion of car dealerships. But he also is 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.680 perhaps on the right side of what has become one 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:33.880 of the most I think upsetting. I mean what I 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:38.800 read about the daughter today, divorce is going. Max Miller, 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:44.280 an Ohio congressman. He was married to Bertie Moreno's daughter, 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:49.600 and this has devolved into a lot of public fighting. 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:54.040 But basically the allegations are that morena, are that Max 0:15:54.080 --> 0:16:00.200 Miller was violent with the wife, was violent with the child, 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:06.960 what harassed her, just every bad thing you could think. 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:10.520 Of, exactly, And oh, by the way, I mean yes, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.960 and we should say all allegations, but oh, by the way, 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.440 Max Miller has faced these allegations before. The former White 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:20.000 House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham under Trump one point zero, 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.720 has made similar allegations. 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.680 And you know, we're at the point. 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:28.200 Where people like Eric Swawell and Graham Plattner would have 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.480 already been booted out of politics and they would already 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.680 be gone, and we would already had several new cycles 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:37.360 since those departures. But we're still waiting for Max Miller 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.880 to leave the scene. And he's hanging on by his fingernails. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.480 And apparently Donald Trump is even himself has told him 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.040 it's not looking good for you, despite the fact that 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:47.920 he went in front of the cameras and said, I still. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:48.560 Kind of like this guy. 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.880 Because Donald Trump always stands with the accused, not the accuser. 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.760 That's why, But why but why? 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:58.240 Why? Is that? 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.080 Gosh GOLLI It's also a case of like, these are 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.680 people who have abandoned the moral high ground. Right, Donald 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:11.720 Trump has multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse, multiple allegations. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.120 He's been adjudicated by e. G. And Carol and had 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.040 to pay her five million dollars. So this is not 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:24.560 like a controvert, you know, these are truths that Republican 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.320 voters have decided do not matter to them. And so 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.679 when Donald Trump goes to Max Miller, he says, what 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.840 the only thing that he can say being that he 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.879 is got he is so abandoned the moral high ground. 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.960 He says, your polling is bad and you may not 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:43.680 be able to win. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.159 That's right, and that's all they care about. 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:48.199 And really, at this point, I mean, you know, do 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.560 they really expect to hang on to the House of Representatives? 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.520 I guess if you're you know, inside Donald Trump's brain, 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.600 which is a scary place, and he's thinking, Wow, if 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.240 I cheat just just enough to hang on to the 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:01.520 House of Represents, it is that maybe this one seat 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.040 does matter. This is a very disturbing picture that we're 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.320 painting here. But I mean, Max Miller, he should no 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.679 longer be in the House of Representatives. And but the 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:12.560 only reason why he's in this position right now where 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.800 he's about to be shoved out is because he's becoming 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:19.080 a political liability because he because because it may damage 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:21.920 the rest of the party and they don't want that 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:23.520 that kind of a that kind of a guy on 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.879 the ballot when I guess, you know, especially in a 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.280 place like Ohio where Shared Brown is going to be 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.040 on the ballot, the governor's race and Amy actin you know, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.480 vivik Ramswami is not looking that hot in terms of 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.400 and so to see state, you know, Democrats winning statewide 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.760 office in Ohio, when is the last time we saw that. 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.639 That's been a very long time. It's been many moons 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.639 since that occurred, and so I can't I can certainly 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.160 see why they're trying to push Max Miller to the side, 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:54.280 but my goodness, think about how long it's taking them 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.480 to do that and contrast that with where Democrats have 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.480 been for what the last year and a half. 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.520 I also want to add, because I think it's important. 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:07.800 The only reason we're hearing about these allegations, the only 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.880 reason they're being taken so seriously, is because there's an 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:15.000 affluent woman who is the daughter of a powerful man. Yes, 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:20.200 I mean Stephanie Grifchin Grisham worked in the Trump White 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:24.600 House and she barely could get these allegations out. They 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.879 ended up both signing NDAs and there was some kind 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:31.800 of something happened there that we don't really know, but 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.879 it's a really important point. It is very hard for 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.640 women to come forward. It is very hard for these 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.080 things to be taken seriously. And what Max Miller is 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:44.840 doing is a lot. He's engaging in a lot of 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.439 the things that we see when women come forward. You know, 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:51.000 he said, well, I cooked her dinner. She let me 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.840 cook her dinner. She wouldn't have let me do that 0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:58.040 had I abused her. Like these are textbook exactly right. 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.159 And where is Bernie Marino on this? 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.160 I mean, he's now finally starting to say something about 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:07.800 this congressman who's been abusive towards allegedly abusive towards his daughter, Like, 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.399 I mean, are you kidding me? Like it's taken you 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.080 this long to say this? Did you have to get 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.919 permission to say this? It's rather pathetic? And you know 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:20.879 he had salty your language for doctor Fauci at a 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.240 fucking congressional hearing than he is for his for his 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:28.119 own son in law who has been allegedly extremely abusive 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:31.480 towards not only your daughter but your granddaughter. Like, dude, 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:36.960 I mean, where is your soul? How does this make 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:40.359 you a man? I mean, honestly, dude, Like, you know, 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.879 please go stand in front of the mirror and do 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:44.600 some deep thinking. 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:45.760 My goodness. 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:50.119 And Moreno, did not come forward until after Donald Trump 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:54.200 said it was okay, because yeah, Donald Trump. He doesn't 0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:58.000 come forward until Donald Trump calls Max Miller, which is 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.239 a really good example of why this is still very 0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.240 much the party of Donald Trump. The other Ohio Senator 0:21:04.720 --> 0:21:08.679 John Hustad has not, yeah a. 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:10.800 Pen sounding very pathetic about this. 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.439 Yeah, and they're all waiting for the deer leader to 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.400 give them the nod. When the deer leader gives them 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.440 the nod, then they can act like human beings again. 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:25.040 And it's really it's kind of astonishing. And I you know, 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.959 you would think that there we never reached the bottom, 0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.359 and there is no worst with Donald Trump, as Barry 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.680 Trump likes to say, But my god, I mean, when 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.000 it comes to allegations of domestic violence of this nature 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.840 and people still can't find their souls and be actual 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:44.399 human beings. We must be in Washington. We're not in 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:45.240 Kansas anymore. 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.359 I'm going to read you just a little reporting of 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:54.080 what Bernie Marino said to reporters. This girl is crying 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.240 at night because she can't sleep without her little blue bunny. 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.520 And his answer is, I'm just not going to give 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:02.399 it to you. So finally, yesterday he lets the blue 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.480 bunny go to the girl. This is completely depraved, but 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:10.320 he doesn't come out and tell this story until the 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:13.040 day after Donald Trump calls Max. 0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:17.919 Miller exactly yeah, And I uh, there's there's like a 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:23.000 fatal attraction quality to this, you know, with Max Miller, 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.679 you know, he he this guy, you know, just seems 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.679 to me to be, you know, one of the not 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:34.000 exhibit A, but exhibit I don't know, the of men 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:39.440 from MAGA operating with two sets of rules in American society. 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:42.840 And if this had been a Democrat, this, this person what, 0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:43.760 he would. 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:44.320 Already be gone. 0:22:44.840 --> 0:22:49.560 Yeah, But because they all work for Donald Trump, they 0:22:49.720 --> 0:22:52.880 they have to wait for Don Corleone to give them 0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.600 the nod. And it's it's absolutely disgraceful. And I again, 0:22:56.680 --> 0:22:59.040 I don't know how I'm a father. I have a daughter, 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:03.359 I don't know what it is with Bernie Marino right now. Like, dude, 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:05.399 if this were my son in law, I think the 0:23:05.440 --> 0:23:07.159 Senate is not that far away from the House. 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:08.720 They would have to get that. 0:23:08.800 --> 0:23:11.480 They would have to get Max Miller around the clock protection, 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:13.200 if you remindrant in law. 0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:16.560 And it is, but it does show very much that 0:23:16.600 --> 0:23:20.320 Trump still controls the party, which speaks to this idea 0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:23.920 when we look at John Cornan saying he can't do anything. 0:23:24.320 --> 0:23:26.720 Part of it is that these Republicans in Congress have 0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.680 given up their power. Part of it is that these 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:33.359 Republicans in Congress don't really want to have the power 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:34.040 to stop him. 0:23:34.440 --> 0:23:38.280 No, it's almost as though they've they've forgotten how to 0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:41.880 act like human beings. They've they have forgotten you know, 0:23:42.200 --> 0:23:45.800
