1
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Hello America, Happy Friday.

2
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: Welcome to the latest edition, the weekend edition of Just

3
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: the News, No Noise. I'm your host, John Solomon, as always,

4
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: reporting to you from the nation's capital, Washington, d C.

5
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 2: We have a little scoopy news to report to you.

6
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: Just literally five seconds before that teleprompter started working, we

7
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: got news that Bob Cheeley, one of the lawyers who

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: worked for President Trump, down in Georgia another places to

9
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: investigate whether there was any irregularities in the twenty twenty election,

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: that he's been granted a party.

11
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: He said, I mounted out on the air.

12
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: The President said he wanted to pardon Bob Cheeley so

13
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: no one could ever pursue him again or run up

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: his legal bills again. We're checking to see him. Other

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: figures in the January sixth, January twenty twenty investigations are

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: getting pardons today.

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: We'll keep you up to speed on that. But that

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: is some big news.

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, for those who were in the weaponization machinery previously

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: an ominous sign. As I mentioned to you last night

21
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: at the end of the show, the FBI and the

22
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: Justice Department under Pam Bondi cranking out some serious subpoenas.

23
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: About thirty have gone out in the last forty eight hours.

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: Some involved John Brennan in testimony he gave, and whether

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: it's accurate or not evolve other players in various pursuits

26
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: of Donald Trump from Russia collusion all the way up

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: to January sixth and beyond. We're gonna keep on that

28
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: all week and long and give you a good update

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: on that, and hopefully by the time you wake up

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: on Monday morning, I think we'll have a good story

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: about who uses the FBI plane and how often, and

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: whether some of the things you see on the Internet

33
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: or news papers are accurate. We went and got the receipts.

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: You're gonna love what we have. Will cover that for

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: sure Monday night. With that, and I turned to my

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 2: amazing cost Amanda head because we've got some great guests,

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: including the chairman of the January sixth investigation, Barry Loudleman,

38
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: coming on. But Amanda's got a good feel on today's headlines, Amanda,

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: what you're working on.

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: Yes, First of all, I am very excited for that

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: information to come out because I have seen up and

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: down the internet people complaining about FBI Director Cash Betel

43
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: using that plane, and I'm just looking forward to seeing

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: a little bit of comparison.

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: Oh, you'll be surprised by the statistics, that's all I'll

46
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: tell you.

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: I bet I won't be, though, now you won't be.

48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: You're exactly right.

49
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 3: All right, everybody, Well, there may finally be a crack

50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: in Washington's stalemate.

51
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: Is signaling the Democrats might actually vote to end the

53
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: government shutdown.

54
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 4: But of course there is a catch.

55
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 3: He wants Republicans to agree to extend healthcare tax credits

56
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: for one year and open up quote broader talks. Doesn't

57
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: that sound a lot like DC code force Bend Moore

58
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: talk longer and fix less. And by the way, a

59
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: year extension potentially puts Congress beyond the midterm elections, when

60
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: Republicans could lose the majority or have an even slimmer majority.

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: Now.

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, down at the southern border, ICE just hit a

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: record high sixty six thousand illegal aliens in custody. That

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: is the highest number ever and it shows just how

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: overwhelmed our immigration system has become. Not while Democrats in

66
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: Congress fight over tax credits and handouts for insurance companies,

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: our agents are drowning in the chaos that Joe Biden

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: and his Democrat policies created. All right up in New York,

69
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: a major shakeup in state politics. GOP congresswoman and former

70
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: Conference chair Elist Stephonic is officially running for governor, taking

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: on Democrat Kathy Hochel.

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 4: Now, staphonics message is quite.

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: Simple, restore law and order, cut taxes, and make New

74
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: York safe again. After Democrat socialists o run Mom Donnie's election.

75
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: On Tuesday as the next mayor of New York.

76
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: City, I think that that whole state may be yearning

77
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 3: very soon for someone with a very different set of

78
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: goals and values. So while Washington are and the border

79
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: is slowly being fixed, at least when Republican is stepping

80
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: up to bring common sense back to America's Lewis states John,

81
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see that for her. I think she

82
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: would make a bang up governor in New York.

83
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

84
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: I know, as I'm sitting here, I'm reporting, and I'm

85
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: also able to confirm that Trump pardoned the former Tennessee

86
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: House speaker who had been convicted a couple of years

87
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: ago in a corruption case. I have a funny feeling

88
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: it could be a Friday parton night. We'll see or

89
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: pardon me, Friday night, how about that?

90
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: All right? I can't think of a better way to.

91
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: Get tonight's investigations or a discussion kicked off and to

92
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: turn back to a man who is relentlessly pursued the

93
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: truth when it comes to January sixth, the original stories

94
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: we were given, a lot of them were just simply

95
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: not true. And the more that Congressman Barry A. Loudim

96
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: Chairman Burry lottamic I should say, digs into it, the

97
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: more we get some incredible truths. And I have a

98
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: sneaking suspicion, Amanda, he's got some new truths to deliver

99
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: to us tonight. Joining us the chairman of the House

100
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: Judiciary Special Committee.

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: On jen six German Arry A. Loudomich. So good to

102
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: have you on, John, Amanda.

103
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 5: As always, it's a pleasure to be with you, especially

104
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 5: during this timeframe when we have an administration that actually

105
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 5: wants to get to the truth.

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: It is amazing the amount of information that started flowing

107
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: and the truths that we're starting to get that we

108
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: were denied.

109
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: Now the last time we talked to you.

110
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: Were hoping to go in and take a look at

111
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: some of these informant reports. We had twenty six FBI

112
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: informants in the crowd, and it looks like they were

113
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: informing quite a bit beforehand. Now I know some of

114
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: this is classificed, you can't give us specifics, but were

115
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: those informants providing more stark information about the dangers that

116
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: could have happened.

117
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: On January sixth? And was that not getting to the

118
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: right people.

119
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 5: Well, that is the question that we had when first

120
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 5: of all that I went and I looked at redacting

121
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 5: copies of these confidential human sources reports, and then the

122
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 5: FBI stepped up and allowed me to come over to

123
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 5: the FBI building. And it's just it's actually been during

124
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 5: the shutdown that went over and was able to sit down.

125
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: And if there's a been any positive side of the shutdown,

126
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 5: it's that I've actually had more time to spend on

127
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 5: this investigation. So I spent a good part of the

128
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 5: day at the FBI looking at the underdactive reports. And

129
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 5: what we want to look for is what did the

130
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 5: FBI know, when did they know it, and what did

131
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: they do with the information, and what was the information?

132
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 5: And I can tell you equivalently, they had to know

133
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 5: that there was something not only bad going to happen,

134
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: but the reports coming from these confidential human sources, not

135
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 5: just one, multiple sources from multiple organizations, across multiple field

136
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 5: offices across the nation. We're reporting the same thing that

137
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 5: not only was there going to be violence in Washington,

138
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 5: d C. At the Capitol on January sixth, most of

139
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 5: the reports were it was going to be a whole

140
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 5: lot worse than what actually it turned out to be.

141
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 5: And so I was I suspected we would find information.

142
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 5: I was surprised that we found this significant intelligence that

143
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 5: was derived from these people embedded in these organizations. There

144
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 5: is no way that at least the Washington Field office

145
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 5: or the FBI headquarters was not aware that there were elements,

146
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 5: not the entire crowd, there were elements of people coming

147
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 5: to Washington, d C. With the intent of attacking the

148
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: capital of the United States. What I also found out

149
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 5: is that is really the only intelligence that we can

150
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: see that the FBI relied upon, Because I've asked several

151
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 5: times what other intelligence did they derive? Did they get

152
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 5: intelligence from other agencies like as Homeland Security, Department of Defense,

153
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 5: the CIA, the intelligence community as a whole, and the

154
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 5: interim getting is no.

155
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: And then my question was what.

156
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 5: Intelligence reports were sent out, And that's what we're looking

157
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 5: for right now because we're really having a hard time

158
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 5: finding really any tangible reports that were sent to the

159
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 5: Capitol Police or other agencies. And so my question is

160
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 5: what did they know, when did they know it? And

161
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 5: what did they do with the information? We do now

162
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: know what they did know, The question is what did

163
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 5: they do with it?

164
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: I want to just follow up quickly just from the

165
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: reporting I've done the last couple of weeks, it seems

166
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: to me that there might have been more suggestions that

167
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 2: there could be armed resistance, armed insurgency, armed insurrection that

168
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: these informants were hearing and telling the FBI. And two

169
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: I've also heard rumblings that maybe Antifa was a concern

170
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: that the FBI had on that day. Could you shine

171
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: any light without violating the confidences.

172
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 5: That you have to keep, right because the main thing

173
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 5: about the confidentiality here and the classification is protecting who

174
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: the sources are. Right, So the information, I think we're

175
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 5: at liberty to share the information that they had, And

176
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: you're exactly right, there were elements, not every group that

177
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 5: was there, but there were certain groups that were planning

178
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 5: on and armed tack of the capital and even against

179
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: law enforcement if they got in the way. And it's

180
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 5: not just isolated. It was again from several different places

181
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: across the United States and reported to several different field offices.

182
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 5: And so that is true. That's why I was saying

183
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 5: there was actually there should there should have been even

184
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 5: more security put in place. The National Guard should have

185
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 5: been at the Capitol the first time Chief of Police

186
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 5: Stevenson requested it, just based on that information. Of one

187
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 5: of my concerns about this, and I'm just going to

188
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 5: speak from my own self, and one of the one

189
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 5: of the things that I think we need to run

190
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 5: down is if they would have passed along this level

191
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: of intelligence, if they would have shared that level of intelligence,

192
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 5: would have had changed the security posture to the extent

193
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 5: where President Trump would not have come out and given

194
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: his speech at the Ellipse. Would it have its nificantly

195
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 5: change the security posture of everybody in Washington, d C.

196
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 5: That's something else I want to look into. Was there

197
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 5: a political motive by some to let some of this

198
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 5: play out? And we've talked about this before in the past.

199
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 5: So that's something else that I think we need to

200
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 5: look at because we have to decouple the politics from

201
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 5: our national security and the security of the American people

202
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 5: when there in Washington, d C. The other question you

203
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: ask about Antifa, the answer is yes, there was concerns

204
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 5: that Antifa would be embedded within the crowds there. There

205
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 5: were several references again not just isolated to one, but

206
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 5: several different different field offices, different different organizations that were

207
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 5: reporting that they had heard that Antifa would be embedded

208
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 5: within the crowd.

209
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: Goodness, gracious, mister chairman.

210
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: I think there's probably a good chance that I ask

211
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: you about this every time you're on here, But I

212
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: guess I seem like a dog with the bone. But

213
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: the footage and other materials and evidence that the previous

214
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: January sixth committee had that they destroyed. I know at

215
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 3: one point you had indicated that there was a chance

216
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: of getting that back, refabricating it from hard drives or

217
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 3: whatever the case may be.

218
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: What's the status of that.

219
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: We're still working on that. We've sent out a trove

220
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: of letters to even the production companies that helped with

221
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 5: the filming. They're telling us they don't have any of

222
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 5: they didn't keep any of it. They turned it over

223
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 5: to the January sixth Committee. So we're casting a broad net.

224
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 5: So far, we haven't caught anything. And I'm talking about

225
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 5: specifically the videos of all the depositions. I think that's

226
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 5: the If we could get that, it really turned the

227
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 5: tide on things that have been happening with the Select

228
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 5: Committee on January sixth. We're not stopping until we overturn

229
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 5: every rock in every possibility in this information age that

230
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 5: we're in. And I just have a hard time believing

231
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 5: that every piece of that has been destroyed. I think

232
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 5: there's probably some element of it somewhere. But I also

233
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 5: think is as we start uncovering more and we start

234
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 5: putting the pieces of this incredibly big puzzle together, people

235
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 5: are going to realize we're getting to the truth. And

236
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 5: I think you may start seeing some people coming out

237
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 5: of the shadows and it and helping us a little bit.

238
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 5: And I think you may see some of that coming

239
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 5: out pretty soon.

240
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 4: Just quickly, mister Chairman.

241
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: We all know it's no dirty secret that congressional staffers

242
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: it's kind of like musical chairs that just kind of

243
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 3: rotate between members of Congress. I'm sure you've reached out

244
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: to those former staffers of the former members of the

245
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 3: former January sixth committee.

246
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 5: Well, we have to the to the extent that we can.

247
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 5: There is a barrier that's put around staff let me

248
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 5: say that to some extent, but we have had some

249
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 5: that have been cooperative. We do have staff members that

250
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 5: have pointed us in the right direction. Let me say that,

251
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 5: in this voluntary they reach out to us. And so

252
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 5: I think that's probably where a lot of information is.

253
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 5: And I think as we uncover other elements, I explain

254
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 5: to people, this whole thing is like it's not a

255
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 5: jigsaw puzzle. Is if you took ten thousand piece puzzles

256
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: and you took all the pieces and you put them

257
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 5: in one box for ten different puzzles, shook them up

258
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: and threw them on the table, and now you've got

259
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: to put all the pieces for ten different puzzles together.

260
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 5: We've got some of those pieces starting to come together

261
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 5: in one puzzle. And as we start putting that together,

262
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 5: I think it helps other pieces to come together and

263
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 5: other people will step up and help us. And as

264
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 5: I said, I can't really divulge anything right now, but

265
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 5: we are starting to have some of those reach out

266
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 5: to us, informants that have new information that we had

267
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 5: not had privy to in the past. And I think

268
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 5: it's because they see that we're putting other pieces of

269
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 5: the puzzle together.

270
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: It's amazing what happens when you start a truth ball

271
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: that starts creating an avalanche down the hill. And we've

272
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: been denied some of the truth. I want to ask

273
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: one other questions of you. I think some would have thought, well,

274
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: those twenty six informants were put in the crowd to

275
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: create some mischief for one thing, But it looks like

276
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: just the opposite.

277
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: These informants. We're doing what we ask informants to do, warn.

278
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Us, but the information they gave doesn't get to the

279
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: right hands to prevent the tragedy that occurred that day.

280
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: And is your sense that these informants were doing good work,

281
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: not nefarious work? And it's the Yeah, it's a failure

282
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 2: to get the information up the chain that perhaps hurt

283
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: us that day, Right.

284
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: It is, And they were doing and you know, and

285
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 5: I'm looking for it. I'm looking for certain things. Are

286
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: you having somebody, just one person that's coming out with

287
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 5: this rogue statement that isn't corroborated by anyone else. That's

288
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: not the case. You're seeing the same story playing out

289
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: in different versions across the entire country. And some you

290
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 5: can tell there's more vio violence threatened from certain areas,

291
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 5: but yet that's replicated in other places. They are all

292
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 5: reporting the same thing and it's just not prior to

293
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 5: January sixth. Some of them are reporting during January six

294
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 5: and post reporting, and so that's what I found enlightening,

295
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 5: is they continue to report what was going on, which

296
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 5: increases their credibility. In my opinion is that they were

297
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 5: trying to do the right thing. But there's a couple

298
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 5: of reports that I think we're going to hone into

299
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 5: a little more and a little deeper, and they relate

300
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 5: to what some groups were actually doing by going in

301
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 5: the Capitol or being around the capital. That's different than

302
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 5: what the Select Committee and the media has told us

303
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 5: that they were actually there to do. Look, I've never

304
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 5: been one of these that denied that there was violence. Yes,

305
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 5: there was violence at the Capitol, but yet some of

306
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 5: the were reoring is that maybe some of these groups

307
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 5: their intent was different. They were actually trying to help

308
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: the law enforcement hold back some of these people, but

309
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: yet they still got convicted.

310
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: Wow, that is some pretty powerful stuff, Sir. You just

311
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: are relentless in your pursuit of the truth, and I

312
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: think the country always a great debt of gratitude. We

313
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: have learned so much because of your determination to get

314
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: the American people the truth. It's a great honor to

315
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: have you on the show today.

316
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 5: Well, we appreciate you both being willing to get the

317
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 5: truth out. That's just something that has also been a

318
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: challenge that we faced is the news media that just

319
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 5: either they won't cover it or they will cover it

320
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 5: to push their own political agenda.

321
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: But we appreciate you getting the truth out.

322
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, facts have no agenda, and we're so grateful you've

323
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: been able to help us get that out there.

324
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: Sir. Thank you so much for joining us. All right,

325
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: thank you, God bless yeah, Wow, God bless you. Wow.

326
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: What an amazing stuff, Amanda.

327
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: The present's about to arrive, and I think we're going

328
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: to go to that footage in a second. It's obvious

329
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: that that was a bombshell interview. There is some big

330
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: stuff in him, much more serious warning that there was

331
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: going to be an arm resistance at the Capitol, at

332
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: the FBI Washington Field office, he said knew about and

333
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: doesn't get passed up the chain. Possibly that anti if

334
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: it was going to be the crowd to cause mischief.

335
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: And then post January sixth intelligence as some of the

336
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: people that went went in to help the law enforcement

337
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: but instead get there. Those are three extraordinary statements by

338
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: a thinking By the way, the reason I was able

339
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: to ask these questions, I've been reporting on this for

340
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: a couple of days. The January sixth narrative, I think

341
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: just took an extraordinary turn absolutely well.

342
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: And also the fact that it sounds like he's got

343
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: some staffers who are willing to actually come forward. I

344
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 3: would like to think that that's because truth will come

345
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 3: to light. But I also think that no one wants

346
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 3: to be left out in the cold when everyone else

347
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: is pussing up to what happened behind closed doors.

348
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

349
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe there's less fear that you're going to be

350
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: retributed against you, which I think is another issue. All Right,

351
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: the president still in the landing phase. We're going to

352
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: get to that when we come back, but first we'll

353
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: get a quick commercial break. On the other side of this.

354
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: One of the great lawyers. I love to talk to

355
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: you whatever. I try to make sense of things. Former

356
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: US Attorney Bud Commings right after the break.

357
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody to just the news, new noise, big

358
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: developments tonight, and the ongoing Russiagate saga. A grand jury

359
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 3: has issued new subpoenas as the criminal case against former

360
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: FBI director James Comy moves closer to trial.

361
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 4: Our prosecutors say that fresh.

362
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: Evidence has come to light, linking key players in what

363
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: they are calling a coordinated effort to weaponize federal power

364
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: against President Donald Trump. Now, as we have talked about,

365
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: we've talked about this.

366
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 4: Many times on the show.

367
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 3: But before we bring in our guest, John, I know

368
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 3: you've got a statement that you.

369
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 4: Want to read.

370
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, the attorney, the Jorge attorney I told you at

371
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 2: the top of the show, got pard and he just

372
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: sent me a statement confirming it. Although I did not

373
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: have any idea that a presidential pardon was even being considered,

374
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 2: I want to thank in Trent for calling me and

375
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 2: telling me so. The presidently calls him and tells him

376
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: he's parting him that he was issuing a federal pardon

377
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: for my efforts to conduct an audit of the absentee

378
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 2: ballots of Fulton County in connection with the twenty twenty election.

379
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: The only thing I ever wanted was transparency from Fulton County.

380
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: At the county has nothing to hide, it should allow

381
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 2: DOJ to examine these ballots. But there are some pardons

382
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 2: dropping right now. We got two of them confirmed at

383
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: the top of the show. But this statement from Bob Cheey,

384
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 2: really prominent and well respected lawyer in Georgie who has

385
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: put through hell in the Fulton County episode.

386
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: So more news to come by Cardon Mike McMahon, who's

387
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 3: wife Martha McMahon, we had on the show to talk.

388
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: That's right, exactly right, Yeah, I forgot that.

389
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: All right, So let's have a pardon talk with former

390
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: US attorney as well as the person who actually alerted

391
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: the FBI to the Hunter Biden bribery allegations all the way.

392
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 4: Back in twenty eighteen.

393
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 3: One of our favorite lawyers to talk to, Bud Summon's Bud,

394
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: thanks so much for being here.

395
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 6: Hello, Hello, good to see.

396
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 3: You, Good to have you on this Friday night. And

397
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: a lot of folks who are delighted to hear that

398
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: President Trump has pardoned them I'm pretty sure the presid

399
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 3: and Trump signed them by hand.

400
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 6: Though. Yeah, I don't think we're going to do any

401
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 6: auto pin pardons with President Trump. I think he likes

402
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 6: to me he likes to have his fingerprints.

403
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: Right on it, absolutely, sir.

404
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 3: I want to dig into something that the magistrate judge

405
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: in Alexandria levied against the Department of Justice with this

406
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 3: trial happening for James Comedy here Comy across the river

407
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: in northern Virginia. She repudiated the DOJ, said that they

408
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: were indicting first and investigating later. She demanded any of

409
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: those grand jury materials and evidence be turned over to

410
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: Comey's team. I think it closed a business yesterday. Does

411
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 3: it seem to you like that's true that the DOJ

412
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: really did sling charges out there and then investigated later,

413
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 3: because you would have to have a lot of material

414
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: for a grand jury to even get the indictments in

415
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: the first place, wouldn't you.

416
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 6: Well, I don't want to get come on too strong

417
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 6: on this, because I think that there is a possibility

418
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 6: that they had not gathered all the information that was

419
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 6: probably available to them, and they got out front with

420
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 6: an indictment. The indictment was pretty simple. He lied and

421
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 6: he instructed justice, and that evidence was pretty straightforward. It

422
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 6: looks like that they're now gathering up other documents that will,

423
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 6: you know, kind of support the case, and the judge

424
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 6: may you know, may be onto something that they that

425
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 6: they are still investigating and still using the grand jury

426
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 6: to investigate, and there are limitations on that.

427
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's a good point.

428
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: So one of the things that we learned on Monday

429
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: and that explosive court filing, was that there is a

430
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 2: crime they're looking at having potentially occurred in January of

431
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: this year, long after Russia Gate was done. And according

432
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: to the electronic communication that the FBI opened that was

433
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 2: attached to the court filing on Monday, FBI personnel were

434
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: going in and out of a room apparently trying to

435
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: hide documents or put them in burn bags to be destroyed.

436
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: And the US government says, in its own words, some

437
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: of these documents had never before been seen or turned

438
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: over to response of agencies who had subpoened such information.

439
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: Does that sound like years after Russia geet or these

440
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 2: other things, there.

441
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: Might have been a coverup going on.

442
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 6: I think absolutely. You know that some of the people

443
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 6: that had their fingerprints on this going back to twenty sixteen,

444
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 6: twenty seventeen and on are still in the building, and

445
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 6: I'm sure there's still some sympathizers in the building. So

446
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 6: it wouldn't shock me at all to learn that people

447
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 6: have been trying to bury evidence.

448
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 4: What happens to.

449
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 3: Those employees if they are still with the department, what

450
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: happens to them, I mean, they get fired, right, but

451
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: in charges for them, I would like.

452
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 6: To think that there is, But I'm not seeing even

453
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 6: today FBI being very aggressive about internal investigations and punishment.

454
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 6: So I think that there's a natural tendency to circle

455
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 6: the wagons, even if you're cash. I mean, certainly we

456
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 6: saw Chris Ray do it. Once you're in the agency,

457
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 6: I think to some extent, there's a tendency to want

458
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 6: to minimize controversy and maybe not go looking for trouble.

459
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 6: So I'm not sure everybody's going to be held accountable

460
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 6: in these agencies. And that's really sad because they've done

461
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 6: such tremendous damage.

462
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be a tremendous loss to the American

463
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: people who are owed this accountability after ten years of

464
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: fake scandals and.

465
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: Misuse of power.

466
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: You are one of my favorite stories because I saw

467
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: you as a US attorney. You had impeccable credentials. You

468
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: stood up in the face of other conduct in the government.

469
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: You always came out in the side of doing the

470
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: right thing. And in twenty eighteen nineteen, you come forward

471
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 2: because you have information from Ukraine that Hunter Biden may

472
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 2: not have paid his taxes on some of the drifting

473
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: money he got from the Ukrainian company. You bring it

474
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: to federal prosecutors. You are a really well respected former

475
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 2: US attorney. They don't pursue it, but you later learned

476
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: that you were retributed against and that you were actually

477
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: targeted for doing the right thing. Tell us what you

478
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: learned about the retribution that was going on behind your back.

479
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 6: Well, some of the companies like Apple and Google, when

480
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 6: they get a federal subpoena, they're prohibited from telling the

481
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 6: person that their information has been subpoena immediately, but they're

482
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 6: allowed to after some period of time. So years down

483
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 6: the road, I started getting notices that I'd been the

484
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 6: subject of subpoenas out of the Southern District of New York,

485
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 6: presumably related to me trying to offer the federal government

486
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 6: information about Hunter Biden. I've always said, I don't really

487
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 6: have a problem with them trying to take a look

488
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 6: at me and seeing who I'm talking to and what's

489
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 6: motivating me to come forward with this extraordinary offer of evidence.

490
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 6: I do have a problem with them ignoring the extraordinary

491
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 6: offer of evidence completely, which is what they did, and

492
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 6: then investigating me. But that's what happened, and beyond that,

493
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 6: I don't know. I'm still waiting for my friends in

494
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 6: the investigative journalism field to uncover all the details of

495
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 6: what happened and why.

496
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: All Right, we're going to work on this because this

497
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: is a big deal.

498
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: And you find out like four or five years after

499
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: the fact, right, you're in the dark for five years

500
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: that they were rifling. Yeah, that's just it's insane. You're

501
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: a former prosecutor. Was there anything that you did that

502
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: would have given you, as a prosecutor grounds to go

503
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: after yourself or to look at someone like you bringing

504
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 2: information forward?

505
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 6: Well, like I said, I mean I think it would be.

506
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 6: I would have been naturally wanted to know, well, you know,

507
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: who gave this information about it and ask him because

508
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 6: obviously they had it in their mind. It was ripe

509
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 6: throughout the agencies that there was some kind of conspiracy,

510
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: Russian collusion, whatever you want to call it. You know

511
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 6: was was were the Russians paying me to come forward

512
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 6: with some kind of fake allegations against Hunter Biden. I

513
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 6: don't have a problem with them trying to verify my credit,

514
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 6: but the way they turned a blind eye to the

515
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 6: offer of evidence is pretty pretty astounding.

516
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you, over your years in the law field

517
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 3: and working with the FBI hand in hand, I want

518
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: to ask you about something that you said a moment

519
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 3: ago about not wanting to stir the pot and not

520
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 3: want not wanting to bring about any type of scandal

521
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: for the FBI. Before Cash Mattel became the director, he

522
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 3: made a joke and he said afterwards that it was

523
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: a joke, but he said that he wanted to gut

524
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 3: the FBI building something to that effect, gut it and

525
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: turn it into a museum exposing the deep state.

526
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 4: Again, he was joking, but he does seem.

527
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 3: To have this this mentality that it is an agency

528
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 3: that needs to be cleaned out.

529
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 4: Does it surprise you that you haven't seen more.

530
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: Of those internal investigations bring forth some of those scandals

531
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: that maybe existed prior.

532
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 4: To his tenure.

533
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't blame him. They have had so

534
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 6: much on their plate. I think it's it's kind of

535
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 6: product of the deep state, the bureaucracy underneath him. I

536
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 6: think all those there's a real culture problem in FBI,

537
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 6: there's a real culture problem at DJ and that's what

538
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 6: he you know, when he makes his joke, that's what

539
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 6: needs to be cleaned out. And it probably would to

540
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 6: be done correctly, would take a pretty massive overhaul of

541
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 6: both of TJ and FBI. I don't know, if you

542
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 6: know he has the political capital and the time to

543
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 6: actually do that, and I know he's trying to do

544
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 6: his best. But you know, we talked about this before,

545
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 6: but I'm old enough to remember Watergate, and the most

546
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 6: serious allegation against Richard Nixon was that he was on

547
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 6: tape talking about asking CIA to help him politically. Asking

548
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 6: didn't get it, asked it, and that was that was

549
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 6: the straw that broke the Campbell's back. He had to

550
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 6: resign the presidency, and two or three generations have been

551
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 6: taught since that that was the worst political scandal of

552
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 6: our time. Well, now we have hard evidence that FBI

553
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 6: and CIA conspired to kneecap an incoming president of the

554
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 6: United States, and they successfully impeded his ability to govern

555
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 6: for at least two years, if not the entire first term.

556
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 6: Somebody needs to be held accountable for all that, and

557
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 6: it's going to take intensive investigation. But it's not political retribution.

558
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 6: If what Nixon did deserves to be in every high

559
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 6: school history book and big letters is the worst scandal

560
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 6: in political history. This certainly needs to be investigated and

561
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 6: documented because it's so much worse, and it's ruined the

562
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 6: image and the reputation and the credibility of federal law enforcement.

563
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: So we just got about forty five seconds left. You're

564
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 2: an allegation that you brought to them was that Hunter

565
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: Biden was cheating on his taxes, specifically on payments he

566
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: got from Barisma. Three four years later, when the whistleblowers

567
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 2: come forward and they confirm exactly what the information you

568
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 2: brought to prosecutors was accurate, that they had also confirmed

569
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: you had not paid taxes on as Brisma money.

570
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: What did you think, Well, when.

571
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 6: I offered the evidence, it was I had no idea

572
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 6: what it was or the background. I just knew that

573
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 6: there was a high level individual in Ukraine that was

574
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 6: offering to come tell the story and bring it and

575
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 6: bring documentary evidence. It sounded plausible to me at the time.

576
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 6: It was pretty bad, but it played out exactly like

577
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 6: it was it was presented to me in twenty eighteen.

578
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: Last four years at time, the sun, the moon, and

579
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: the truth eventually come out.

580
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 4: Hopefully that a lot of these other untruths that we've.

581
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 3: Been talking about come out in our lifetime, but you

582
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 3: never know.

583
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 4: Things take time.

584
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 3: Bud Cummins, always a pleasure having you here.

585
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 6: Thanks so much, good to see y'all.

586
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 7: Bye bye, absolutely all right, everybody, we're going to take

587
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 7: a quick break and we'll be back on the other side.

588
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 2: Welcome back to America next week. We're going to give

589
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: you a really fun project we've been working on. Healthcare

590
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 2: companies make lots of money from Obamacare subsidies. In fact

591
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: that it's the driving source of their profits the last

592
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: ten years, and then they become increasingly more democratic donors.

593
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 2: We're rewarding the party they gave them those subsidies. We've

594
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: got a similar story for you to tell you right now.

595
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: Joining us to break it is the executive director of

596
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 2: protecting American consumers together.

597
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: Lauren'sl Lauren, great to have you back on the show.

598
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 8: Thank you so much for having me. It's great to

599
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 8: be here.

600
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: I always love when we capture one of these you

601
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: scratch my back and I've pad your wallet stories. Trial

602
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: lawyers have a plan, they make some money on it,

603
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 2: and what do they do? Tell us the story of

604
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: lawfare against Trump and how it ends up in the Democratic.

605
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 8: Coffers certainly seeing new reporting from Legal News Line about

606
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 8: how trial attorneys, specifically billboard attorneys, the ones that you

607
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 8: see advertise on the highways and on your televisions in

608
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 8: your home, are targeting President Trump with lawsuits. And what

609
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 8: they do with this is they often end up turning

610
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 8: around and donating the profits from those lawsuits to Democrat politicians.

611
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 8: But how does it really work? You know, what we're

612
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 8: seeing is some attorneys are advertising themselves as Trump golf

613
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 8: course attorneys, or they're advertising a introductory kit on how

614
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 8: to sue a Trump property, and they're you know, they're

615
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 8: really into this for the profit. And what they do

616
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 8: then is they turn around and they donate it to

617
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 8: Democrat politicians. I have some stats for your audience in

618
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 8: twenty twenty four, two hundred and five million dollars was

619
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 8: donated to Democrats by trial attorneys or billboard attorneys and

620
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 8: particular including forty six point five million dollars specifically to

621
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 8: the Kamala Harris campaign. So those are some pretty significant numbers.

622
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 8: And Legal News Line is also reporting that about seventy

623
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 8: five percent of billboard attorneys donated to Harris as opposed

624
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,479
Speaker 8: to President Trump in twenty twenty four. So it's a

625
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 8: system that they've created, almost from soup to nuts, sue

626
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 8: the president at one of his properties or at one

627
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 8: of his businesses, and turnaround and put it in the

628
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 8: pocket of Democrat politicians.

629
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I believe if we categorize lawyers, these are

630
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 3: the ambulance chasers of ambulance chasers. But when it comes

631
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 3: to the money that this drains from the American economy,

632
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 3: I mean, this is in the billions, and it affects everyday.

633
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 4: Americans, even people who are not involved in the suit.

634
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 8: That's exactly right. Unfortunately, this is costing the average American

635
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 8: family a lot of money. In twenty twenty two, lawsuit

636
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 8: abuse costs the average American family about forty two hundred

637
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 8: dollars a year. There are some states in which it's

638
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 8: higher that have more retigious environments. Delawarre's a state like that.

639
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 8: California is a state like that. In New York as well. So, unfortunately,

640
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 8: consumers that are living in these states are paying for

641
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 8: these lawsuits, whether they realize it or not, because the

642
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 8: amount of money that is draining from businesses that have

643
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 8: to pay for them and from our economy generally.

644
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, really remarkable, Lord, I want to ask a little

645
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 2: bit about how we begin to.

646
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: Fix the system.

647
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: It is clear that we've got weaponization problems inside the department,

648
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: we've got law fair departments outside of the law enforcement agencies.

649
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 2: Now we seem to have concerns about leaking judges who

650
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: are talking to the media and violation of their oaths

651
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 2: and ruling on their political interest rather than on the

652
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 2: constitutional grounds. How do we fix the system before we

653
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 2: spiral into a sort of unprecedented territory Banana Republic territory.

654
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 8: There are certainly some bright spots where fixing is happening

655
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 8: in the system. We've seen a lawsuit abuse reform pass

656
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 8: in Florida in twenty twenty three, and then just earlier

657
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 8: this year in Georgia in twenty twenty five. But there

658
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 8: is an opportunity to tackle this problem at the federal level.

659
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 8: There are several different pieces of legislation that would address

660
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 8: lawsuit abuse and also the third party litigation finance system

661
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 8: that funds it, because oftentimes consumers will get pushed into

662
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 8: predatory loans in order to pay for their lawsuits, and

663
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 8: at protecting American consumers together, we want to make sure

664
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 8: that people are aware of that and that they know

665
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 8: that when they are signing up for the services of

666
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 8: an attorney, hopefully a reputable one and not one that

667
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 8: they saw on a billboard.

668
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 3: Do guys find that people agree with this practice, because

669
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 3: it certainly sounds like it's happening a lot where this

670
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 3: money is getting funneled towards democrats, people can't be supportive

671
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: of it.

672
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 8: Well, Unfortunately, people just don't really understand and there's not

673
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 8: a lot of information out there about this practice, and

674
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 8: because candidly, it's ballooned a lot in the last thirty

675
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 8: years in our country. So this isn't a problem that

676
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 8: has seen a lot of traction at the federal level yet,

677
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 8: but we're starting to see it in the States specifically

678
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 8: because it is getting so out of control. Unfortunately, lawsuit

679
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 8: abuse is affecting every consumer. It's affecting every business, especially

680
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 8: the small businesses. When a small business is forced to

681
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 8: pay out from a fraudulent lawsuit, they often can't continue

682
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 8: to stay in operation. So the more people learn about it,

683
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 8: the less that they like it, and the more reason

684
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 8: that we have to correct.

685
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: The system real quickly before I let you go, Lauren,

686
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,839
Speaker 2: just because a Laura uses a billboard isn't necessarily an

687
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: indicator that this is about Sometimes, like with the tobacco settlements,

688
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: they are required to do public display things. But is

689
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: there a general inclination that the ones that are doing

690
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: billboards are more deeply engaged in this law fair and

691
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 2: then moving on to money to the Democratic Party.

692
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 8: Yes, absolutely, And unfortunately, what we're seeing a lot is

693
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 8: the targeting of these advertisements are targeted to low income communities.

694
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 8: So those people in low income communities are often signing

695
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 8: up for lawsuits that they don't maybe understand. They're being

696
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 8: forced to take out predatory loans, they're being forced into

697
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 8: medical procedures that they don't need, all in the name

698
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 8: of upping the amount of the settlement so that the

699
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 8: attorneys can do whatever they choose with their profits from

700
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 8: the settlement.

701
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 2: Wow, the system. We have to get to the bottom

702
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 2: of fixing really soon. Lauren's out. What a great hour

703
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: to having the show today. Thanks for joining us. Every

704
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 2: time you come on, you bring us an amazing story.

705
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. All right, it's up, all right, folks,

706
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: the QUI commercial break. When we come back.

707
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: More in the government shutdown, which is nearing forty days.

708
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 2: Biblical proportions, I think actually, if you get the forty

709
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 2: days or in Moses territory, all right, we'll be back

710
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 2: right after these messages.

711
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: Hey, America.

712
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: As an investigative journalist, I've built my career in facts,

713
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 2: and I always do with my homework before recommending anything

714
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: to my audience. That's why I can confidently say AMAC,

715
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: the Association of Mature American Citizens, is the real deal.

716
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:19,280
Speaker 2: AMAC is a conservative alternative to AARP. They're fighting for faith, family,

717
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 2: and freedom and bringing their members real value discounts on travel, insurance,

718
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 2: and retail, helpful resources that help you thrive in the

719
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: excellent AMAC magazine, packed with information that actually matters to

720
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,040

00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: a movement working to hold Washington accountable and preserve the

724
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 2: values that we all care about.

725
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: I vetted them, I trust them. You should too.

00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody.

731
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 3: We are now near forty days, as John said, biblical

732
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 3: proportions of a government shutdown, and the ripple effects are

733
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 3: being felt practically everywhere. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers

734
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 3: remain furloughed or without pay, leaving everything from veterans benefits

735
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: to National Park services in limbo. So joining us now

736
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 3: to discuss those major economic challenges and his proposition to

737
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 3: overcome them. Welcome to political writer and businessman Joe Penland.

738
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: Joe, thanks so much for being here.

739
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 9: Thank you for having me on.

740
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

741
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 3: We are happy to have you, and we reported at

742
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 3: the top of the show. Democrats seem to be inching

743
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 3: a little bit closer to the table, but they of

744
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 3: course have conditions.

745
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 4: This has got to end soon. And I know that you've.

746
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 3: Got some ideas as to how to get our economy

747
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 3: under control.

748
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 9: Well, obviously we have to end this. I mean, this

749
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 9: is a find that no American is going to win.

750
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 9: That's sad to say, but you know, usually when two

751
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 9: people are fighting in a boxing ring, it's just those two.

752
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 9: Usually the spectators don't get hurt. In this case, the

753
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 9: Democrats and Republicans are fighting, and the American people are

754
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 9: the spectators, and they're getting hurt in no fault of

755
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 9: their own. And we need to see this stop sooner

756
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 9: than later.

757
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

758
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 2: So the history of these shutdowns is reopening the government

759
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 2: after shutdown actually ends up costing more than it does

760
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: to keep it shut down or keep it going during

761
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 2: a shutdown. At what point do we break the cycle?

762
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: And are the American people ready for the first time

763
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: to say pass a law to say no more shutdowns please.

764
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 9: I think the American people are ready for that. You know,

765
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 9: American people are sick and tired of sending people up

766
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 9: to d C to represent them and then they get

767
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 9: there and they forget about the people back at home.

768
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 9: You know, this is a fight for America, not for

769
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 9: one side of the aisle of the other. We need

770
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 9: to do us right from American people, and we'll iron

771
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 9: this other stuff out. You know, our dead is completely

772
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 9: out of control. That's about part some problems. So we're

773
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 9: not going to fix the debt on this CR. That's

774
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 9: not going to happen. You know, We're not going to

775
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 9: fix social security on this CR. That's not going to happen.

776
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 9: What we need to do is put that behind us,

777
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 9: make sure that America is still stable and we're working

778
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 9: like we should each day, and then we'll get on

779
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 9: with fixing the problems. But staying away is not fixing

780
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 9: the problems, it's making it worse.

781
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 3: So I know that you are in the wonderful state

782
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 3: of Texas, and New York could not be further from

783
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 3: Texas in terms of political ideology. But we look at

784
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: Zorn Mam Donnie about to become about to be sworn

785
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: in as New York City's mayor. Does it concern you

786
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 3: that that type of liberalism can infect places some of

787
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 3: the bluer areas of Texas.

788
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 9: It certainly does. I mean, and what I'm afraid of

789
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 9: There'll be a lot more people move out of New York,

790
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 9: come down here to Texas and that may blue us

791
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 9: a little more than we want to be. I hate that,

792
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 9: but you know, we welcome people coming to this great state.

793
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,959
Speaker 9: But what's happening is people are leaving the blue state

794
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 9: coming down here just to get away from what's crazy

795
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 9: up there. And I think it's going to affect our

796
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 9: voter that our mass of people going to the ballast,

797
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 9: and I hate to see that come. But we need

798
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 9: to get some sense back in America and go back

799
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 9: to the old standards that we've had that led this

800
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 9: country for almost two hundred and fifty years.

801
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Joe, I know you think a lot about

802
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 2: the macroeconomics behind deficits and policy and economics. Obviously, with

803
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: the baby boomers retiring, we've got a growing labor shortage.

804
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: What are some of the solutions short of allowing illegal

805
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 2: aliens to be illegal workers in this country.

806
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 9: Well, we're going to, you know, the only way we're

807
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 9: going to grow our workforce. You know, unfortunately it is

808
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 9: through legal immigration. You know, with the birderth rate what

809
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 9: it is, we have a decline and birth rate in

810
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 9: this country. And that's fine. That's a woman's choice and

811
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 9: that's what it should be and that's okay, but we

812
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 9: cannot continue to source out all our work around the world.

813
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 9: The President wants to bring six or seven trillion dollars

814
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 9: worth the work back to this country, but we have

815
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 9: to have workers to be able to do that and

816
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 9: capitalize on you know what, we look back at Ellis

817
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 9: Island what we've done then, and that brought millions people

818
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 9: of about twenty million people here to this country and

819
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 9: they settled here and it made this country a little

820
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 9: greater than we could have ever been on our own.

821
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 9: We need a workforce. We need a solid workforce, but

822
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 9: we need people that are law abiding and a buy

823
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 9: by our rules. And if we do that, we work

824
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 9: ourselves out of this problem. If we keep shipping jobs

825
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 9: out of the country or not take advantage of the

826
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 9: money that's ready to invest in this country. And the

827
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 9: only way we're going to do that is we're going

828
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 9: to have to use legal immigration.

829
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 1: If every woman got.

830
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 9: Pregnant today that could and have children, that workforce is

831
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 9: twenty years plus out of cycle to help us. So

832
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,919
Speaker 9: we've got to do something in a short, short run,

833
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 9: and we can do this and we can actually capitalize

834
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 9: on that and help some shortfall for the economy.

835
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 3: Joe, I want to ask you a question another dichonomy

836
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 3: between New York and Texas. We were having a conversation

837
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 3: with another tax this week and we were talking about

838
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 3: New York with respect to it being the capitalist capital

839
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 3: of the world, the banking center of the world. But

840
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 3: it seems like there are a lot of banking groups

841
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 3: that are moving their way to Dallas.

842
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 4: Does that seem right to you.

843
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 9: I had some meetias with some bank people this week.

844
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 9: There's a lot of people coming to Dallas. There's a

845
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 9: lot of people coming to Houston. You know, we have

846
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 9: some good economy here. We have a lot of L

847
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 9: and G plants, We have a lot of oil and

848
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 9: gas here, a lot of refineries being built. We got

849
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 9: a lot of deep waterways. That is absolutely essential to

850
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 9: us being a net exporter and that's where we need

851
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 9: to be. You know, we're shipping llen G gas now

852
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 9: all over the world and that's great for our economy.

853
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 9: So yeah, people are coming to Texas. You know, the

854
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 9: taxes and everything are better here in Texas. We've got

855
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 9: a little bit better weather. I think the New York

856
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 9: I don't like the cold weather when you're seventy five.

857
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 9: You're always a little chilly, so Texas is good for me.

858
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 9: But this is a great state and a great country,

859
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 9: and we just de all pull together and we'll get

860
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 9: through this crisis that we're in.

861
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: Joe, we soon have a stock exchange in Texas too.

862
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 9: Yes, that's a fact. Isn't that great?

863
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: That's a fact.

864
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 2: New financial capital of the world and in a free state.

865
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 4: About that, And Joe, I agree with you.

866
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 3: You guys have good weather in Texas, but you got

867
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 3: to find a way to make Texas unappealable to New

868
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: Yorkers if you don't want all of those votes flooding

869
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: down to the lone star state. Joe Pelin, always a

870
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 3: pleasure of having you here.

871
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 4: Sarah, thank you, Thank you both.

872
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 9: Have a great aidment you too.

873
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 4: All Right, everybody, we've got one more segment, so we

874
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 4: will see you on the inside. Welcome back, everybody.

875
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 3: I want to touch on a dire topic before we

876
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 3: head into a few more fun things for the weekend.

877
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 3: These seven plaintiffs who are suing chat GPT, who have

878
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 3: family members who died by suicide. These family members went

879
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 3: on chat GPT and they were just using it for

880
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: general knowledge. Help out with you know, homework assignments and

881
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 3: things like that, and ultimately ended up committing suicide. I

882
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 3: think that this is going to be a major case

883
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 3: and could set precedent for how chat GPT operates in

884
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 3: the future and their responsibility.

885
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, No, this is going to be one of

886
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 2: the epic social responsibility cases in a long time. And

887
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 2: you know, where does technology end and more responsibility began?

888
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 2: And as we've become more and more automated, these questions

889
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: are going to come up a lot more. We're watching

890
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 2: this when close he had justin news. It's an important story.

891
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 6: It really is.

892
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 3: Okay, so this story came across my radar so this week, Sorry,

893
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 3: let me rewind two years ago. Robert De Niro's grandson,

894
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: who's nineteen years old, he died of a drug overdose.

895
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 3: Nothing substantial transpired in the case under Joe Biden's DJ

896
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 3: and his DEA, But now under Trump's DJ, in coordination

897
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 3: with a Trump appointed attorney, five individuals have been charged.

898
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 3: So do you anticipate, John, that Robert De Niro is

899
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 3: going to pick up the phone and thank President Trump

900
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 3: we're actually finding these folks.

901
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: No, And I'm not sure President Trump would take the

902
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: call either. But listen, the good thing is no one

903
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: should die from a chemical warfare in our country. This

904
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 2: has just been in saying China cartels are a big

905
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: part of this, and Joe Biden just enabled it for

906
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 2: four years and the toll goes. Now, there was some

907
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 2: reduction in fentanyl the last year because the public pressure

908
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 2: had become so much. But no matter where Robert de

909
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 2: Niro stands on his politics, no grandfather should have to

910
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 2: bury their grandson, and no Americans should fall prey. I

911
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 2: think of these kids that pick up a pill on

912
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: the ground, they're three years old and they die. That

913
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 2: is not only an American it is immoral. And I'm

914
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: glad that this president and all of the great men

915
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 2: and women in blue are doing more to crack down

916
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 2: because they had their hands tied behind the back for

917
00:46:58,480 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: four years.

918
00:46:59,120 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

919
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 3: Well, as we talked about, it's not just those who

920
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 3: are seeking out illicit drug use. It can be some

921
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 3: type of counterfeit pill for you know, some some other condition.

922
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 3: And really really devastated speaking of that, three more Chinese

923
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: scholars tied to that University of Michigan case with the biomaterial.

924
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: In the country. With one of those academic visas.

925
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: That story we broke, and we talked about this, and

926
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 2: then a few weeks later broke Rollins came out. So

927
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 2: I'm cracking down on this. Who the heck is letting

928
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 2: Chinese researchers into pathogen programs?

929
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: Apparently we know the answer.

930
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 2: And the US government, Yeah, these these are h H

931
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: S N I H D A U S d A.

932
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,280
Speaker 1: Our government was facilitating this sort of stuff.

933
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 4: It's terrifying.

934
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 3: So John, I wrote a story for The Weekend UH

935
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 3: based based off of some of Scott Rasmussen's and not

936
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 3: only is polling, some of his comments on the show

937
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 3: last night, and I was doing kind of a dichotomy

938
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 3: story between the fact that per his polling and really

939
00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 3: just anecdotally, we know that Americans don't feel like they'rets

940
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 3: have gotten any more flush with cash, even though there

941
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 3: are a ton of measurecs that show that they have.

942
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 3: So I was looking into the numbers as far as

943
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 3: the Thanksgiving meals that are twenty five percent cheaper gas,

944
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 3: of course at record lows under present Trump egg prices,

945
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 3: and record lows the prescription drugs. But John, this week,

946
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 3: if Tuesday is any warning shot to Republicans, it's that

947
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 3: they're not messaging on that stuff.

948
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: Well enough, that's what it is. That's exactly what is.

949
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: And the Democrats knew the Republicans wouldn't message well, and

950
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 2: that's why they sat down.

951
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: The government took the risk.

952
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 2: It's as predictable as well government not passing a budget,

953
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 2: which is done for twenty five years. So all right,

954
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: So at the top somewhere I slept in the biblical

955
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,760
Speaker 2: reference of forty days Jesus in the desert forties Moses,

956
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 2: Noah's fled forty days. My grammar school teacher was watching

957
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: on no Real America's voice. I'm proud of that, and said,

958
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 2: I'm glad you remembered something from my lessons.

959
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 3: Aw did that come from her?

960
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't remember whatever.

961
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 2: It's like, I said, I was in the grammar school

962
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 2: in the dark ages, so I don't know whether she

963
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 2: was it, but she takes credit for it, and I'm

964
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 2: not going to contradictor because I'm afraid she'll.

965
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: Send me to attention.

966
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 3: All right, John, you always are so good at reading

967
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 3: the tea leaves. Let's finish where we started off with

968
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 3: Chrman Barry louder Milk, what do you anticipate it is

969
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 3: going to be the next thing to break.

970
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,560
Speaker 2: I think we're going to find out who these new

971
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: whistleblowers are. He hinted that someone is about to come

972
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: forward with some big information, and I think that that's

973
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 2: really important. People coming forward is what is going to

974
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: give this the credibility it needs to get through the

975
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 2: court system and br accountability. So any American patriots, if

976
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 2: you got information, come forward.

977
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: That's all I can say.

978
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and whistle owers have proven to be so so

979
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 3: valuable in so many of these cases.

980
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: We'll never forget the.

981
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely all right, everybody that's going to do it for

982
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 3: us tonight. We appreciate you being here on this Friday.

983
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 3: We will be back on Monday at six pm Eastern.

984
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 3: In the meantime, Grintstonfield is going to take it to
