They may milking this cow for two decades. 274 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 3: Settlement still needs CORD approval, likely to be contested by 275 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: some merchant groups. 276 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. 277 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: Merchants have always had the right to refuse to do 278 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: business with a payment network entirely, like Costco only takes 279 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 3: Visa cards yep, But current network rules say if a 280 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 3: store accepts one Visa credit card, it has to accept 281 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: all Visa credit cards. Well, the settlement could change that 282 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 3: practice by allowing merchants to pick and choose which categories 283 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 3: of cards to accept within network. 284 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 4: There's also the dollar limit that I don't know if 285 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 4: there's any legality around it, but like I buy something, 286 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 4: they say you can only use your card if you 287 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 4: spent eight dollars or something, and then I got to 288 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 4: grab something else? 289 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: What else you got?

And the settlement could go further, allowing different search 292 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 3: charges depending on the category your card falls into, Like 293 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: if you have a basic no frills card, you might 294 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 3: get charged two and a half percent of the transaction amount. 295 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: It's the reverse of a cash discount, whereas if you 296 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: have a rewards card it's three percent. Really, you really 297 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: wouldn't know what you're paying until you're paying it. 298 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: Paying cash just seems so troublesome.

Poor people frequently don't have credit cards 344 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 3: and need to do transactions in cash, and therefore we 345 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 3: must have change. 346 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 4: And that's not what I see at the convenience store. 347 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 4: Usually have some sort of government card for the scratchers vaping. 348 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 2: And energy drink. 349 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I try to stay away from poor people because 350 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: I'm afraid it might be catching. 351 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: But that was a joke. 352 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 3: That was a joke, friends, just jokey and silly. These 353 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 3: are serious times, confusing, dark, threatening times. Just trying to 354 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: have a little fun. 355 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: Strong the Armstrong and Getty shirt. 356 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris has been doing her ill advised train wreck 357 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 3: of a book tour one and seven days. 358 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 2: If I'd have just had a couple more days. 359 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: In terms of herridiculousness. Who do you think is winning 360 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 3: the race to be the most ridiculous, KJP or Kamala? 361 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. I pretty hard to be. 362 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, anyway, So we're going to play a head 363 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 3: full of clips of an interview Kamala did with an 364 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: Australian news outlet. The first clip, it's the is not 365 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 3: the payoff, but it sets the tone for what follows. 366 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 2: So we'll go ahead and get started. 367 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 13: Michael, wasn't Joe Biden then to put it on him? 368 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 13: Wasn't his refusal to recognize his own frailties the reason 369 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 13: that you faced a nearly impossible task. 370 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 14: I ran against Donald Trump for president, and Donald Trump 371 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 14: ran on a platform that was, in large part, I believe, 372 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 14: misrepresenting his intentions to the American people. I do believe 373 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 14: that there are a fair number of people that voted 374 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 14: for Donald Trump who believed him when he told them 375 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 14: that his first priority on day one is going to 376 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 14: be to bring down prices, and he didn't. And you 377 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 14: combine that misrepresentation of intention with also what was that 378 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 14: play in terms of massive amounts of misinteristance for me? 379 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 4: All right, I see where this is going, seeing as 380 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 4: how she didn't even come close to answering the question 381 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 4: is I've always it's funny these callbacks because I hadn't 382 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 4: heard her in a while. That tone she takes what 383 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 4: happened was I'm about to lay a truth bomb on you. 384 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 4: That's just going to knock you out of your shoes, 385 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 4: and then she never does. And the other advantage the 386 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 4: Aussie gal. 387 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: Has is that she has no awe for the second 388 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 3: in command of the American government. 389 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 2: Just as if I was interviewing the Vice Premiere. 390 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 3: Or whatever the position would be of Australia, I wouldn't 391 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 3: give a damn. 392 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: It'd be like, no, I'm asking you the questions I 393 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: want to ask. I've boxed kangaroos. Do you think I'm 394 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: scared of you? Oh? Riichy, it rolls on now, forgive me. 395 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 13: And I wanted a calendar in terms of yes, the clerk, 396 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 13: I want to interrupt you, because that is a world 397 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 13: class pivot. But it is not the question that I 398 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 13: asked you, which is about Joe Biden's failure to recognize 399 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 13: his own frailties and what that did to you. The 400 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 13: question is about Joe Biden. Are you still reluctant to 401 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 13: criticize the former. 402 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 11: President in what regard? 403 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 2: Please? 404 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 13: Well, just in terms of that question, so you went exactly. 405 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 14: Would you like to ask be more specific if you 406 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 14: don't mind. 407 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 13: Was it Joe Biden's decision, his failure to recognize his 408 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 13: own frailties in that position that put you in the 409 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 13: position that made it almost impossible to win that race? 410 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 11: He was not frail as president of the United States, 411 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 11: but he had frailties. We all saw the debate. 412 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 14: I do believe that Joe Biden had the capacity to 413 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 14: be president of the United States, and I have never 414 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 14: doubted that he had the capacity to be president of 415 00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 14: the United States. 416 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 11: If you want to talk. 417 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 14: About whether he had the ability to endure what a 418 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 14: race for president of the United States would require in 419 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 14: that political environment in twenty twenty four. 420 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 11: As I've said in the book, I had concern. 421 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, she goes with that angle with John Stewart. What're 422 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: you going to play that clip a little bit? 423 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 4: I love the first of all, I love the what 424 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 4: go ahead, ask your specific question. I have asked a 425 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 4: specific question, very specific several times. Now you're not answering it, 426 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 4: but she and then then when she goes into that 427 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 4: tone of the how dare you question his his competence 428 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 4: sort of tone that she always has, what are you? 429 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: How does she think that's working on anybody? Hilarious? It 430 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 2: didn't even work on Democrats. 431 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 4: Prior to the debate, most did the majority of Democrats 432 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 4: wanted him to not run. 433 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: How does she think at this point? I mean, this 434 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 2: is when did she do this interview? Anyway? 435 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 4: Recently the report came out Monday, that report we talked 436 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 4: about earlier where it talks about the Secretary of State 437 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 4: Anthony Blincoln, his chief of staff. They were all having 438 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 4: conversations with Joe Biden saying you shouldn't run again? 439 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 3: Wow? 440 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: And who does she think? This is? Landing? All right? Yeah, 441 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 2: all right, let's roll on. 442 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 13: Is that I'm just wondering, is there a reason why 443 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 13: you won't go to that prolonged frailty question? No, we 444 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 13: saw the debate, We saw the difficulty he had marshaling his. 445 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 11: Head answered that question. I do not believe. 446 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 13: I think it's just hard watching the debate to see 447 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 13: how there could not be a problem long term with 448 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 13: someone who can't marshal their thoughts I'm not saying his 449 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 13: acuity wasn't present. 450 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 14: In the book, And I also mentioned the context in 451 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 14: which that debate occurred. And you'll probably remember how I 452 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 14: talked about that in terms of what his travel schedule 453 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 14: had been, that what he had been enduring in terms 454 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 14: of the timing of that debate. I can talk about 455 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 14: it extensively in the book. I'm not shying away from that. 456 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 14: So I wrote it in the book because I do 457 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 14: know it's a question people had. 458 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 4: Oh my god, she is something else wow, utterly charisma 459 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 4: free and unwilling to answer any question about anything. 460 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 2: Ever. 461 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: Does Joe Biden have pictures of her like whipping a 462 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 3: child or something. 463 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 4: No, it's not that, because she can't answer a question 464 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 4: about anything that has nothing to do with Joe Biden. 465 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 2: She just she. 466 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 4: It's Mark Halpern's knock on her has been from the beginning. 467 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 4: She is the most cautious politician I've ever met. He 468 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 4: always says, she just is not. She's gonna hedge on 469 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 4: every question to leave herself wiggle room because she's just 470 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 4: incredibly scared of getting nailed down on even an easy position. 471 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: She's not bright enough to realize which ones are worth saying, 472 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 3: and which ones aren't I guess. 473 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 2: Because she has no confidence. 474 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 4: She probably has one no like actual ideology positions, and 475 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 4: then she has no confidence to back it up if 476 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 4: anybody questions or any further, Remember what were we voting 477 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 4: on on election day? Also in California the whole Do 478 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 4: we want to start putting criminals back in jail again? 479 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 4: When like eighty percent of Californians agreed we shouldn't have 480 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 4: passed overwhelmingly, and. 481 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: She wouldn't take a stance on it. I don't think 482 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: there's your Democrats run face. 483 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 4: Yes, it passed in a blue, blue state on a 484 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 4: day when everybody was turning out to vote for her. 485 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 4: She wouldn't come out and say, she said, I don't 486 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 4: think it'd be proper for me to weigh on this. 487 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 2: What are you talking about? Because so she's just too cautious. Yeah, yeah, 488 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: we're gonna do the John Stewart stop. Yeah. 489 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 4: So I don't know what all this explains number forty five, 490 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 4: but whatever is not in there I will. 491 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: Fill in right. 492 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 14: Yeah, No, I'm not talking about confidence at all. No, 493 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 14: I believe he was fully competent to serve. Do you 494 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 14: really Yeah, I did. 495 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 2: That surprises me. Actually, no, I do. 496 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 14: But there's a distinction to be made between running for 497 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 14: president and being a prespect. 498 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 4: Okay, that's when she gets into the thing and that 499 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 4: she was referencing with the Australian. 500 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 2: Interviewer. 501 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 4: She says this in the book, and then she says 502 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 4: this anytime anybody brings it up, that running for president 503 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 4: is like running a marathon while people are throwing tomatoes 504 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: at you. It's very difficult. Things are coming at you 505 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 4: very fast from many directions. It's exhausting. And John Stewart's 506 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 4: reply is, and it's a good one, is Yeah, being 507 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 4: president is like running a marathon with people throwing tomatoes 508 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 4: at you and lots of things coming at you really fast. 509 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 4: And you're saying you think he was able to do that? Yes, yes, 510 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: I do. I think he was up to the job. 511 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 4: I mean, that's insane. It is you. You can't get 512 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 4: away with any of this. But at least you got 513 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 4: some tiny bit of cover to say he was okay 514 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 4: being president at that time. Yeah, not a lot, but 515 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 4: maybe I'll take your word for it that maybe you 516 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 4: thought he was up to the but claiming he could 517 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 4: be president for another four years, you're into insaneville. 518 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 3: Well right, yeah, and that whole dodge that running for 519 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 3: president is way harder than being president. 520 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: Number one, it's hard. 521 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 3: Maybe it's hard in a different way, but number one, 522 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 3: being president is really, really, really hard. So I'm not 523 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 3: sure that matters even if it's true. And secondly, the 524 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 3: guy won in twenty twenty by hiding in his basement. 525 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 3: He hardly campaigned at all, and he didn't have the 526 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 3: power of the incumbency, so he could have run a 527 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 3: you know, a low key doing video address from the 528 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 3: White House. I'm so busy, I'm sorry, I can't be 529 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 3: there in person type campaign. 530 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 2: It's just ridiculous. I can't believe. 531 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 4: John Stewart's forceful reply was John Stuarts, who's more of 532 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 4: a mainstream Democrat. You think he'd be more like Bill 533 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 4: Maher and say you're nuts, you're nuts. That's a ridiculous 534 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 4: thing to say that he was capable of being president. 535 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 2: We could all see that he wasn't. 536 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: Poles showed that Democrats and majority of Democrats didn't think 537 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 4: he was capable of being president before the debate. 538 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 2: So why are you continuing to go around making this claim? 539 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 2: Who's that for? 540 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 3: Who sits there awestruck with respect for Kamala Harrison, and 541 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 3: so I must say, I'm surprised by that. 542 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 4: What a tepid response to a blatant either lie or 543 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 4: you're a complete moron. 544 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 2: And I'm not exactly sure which it is. 545 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 4: That other excuse she uses all the time of I'm 546 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 4: explained in the book about how his travel schedule is 547 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 4: very difficult. He'd flown Alacronsol World and he had that 548 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 4: much sleep and he had a cold. 549 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: Okay, well, guess what. 550 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 4: When you're president, you're gonna have a very busy schedule also, 551 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 4: and every now and then you're gonna get a cold. 552 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 4: So if China attacks Taiwan, we have to say hold 553 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 4: off on your attacking Taiwan. The presidents have a cold, 554 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 4: and he just got back from Las Vegas. 555 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,719 Speaker 3: He's very tired, right, Yeah, it's just ridiculous now that 556 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 3: in John's defense, I don't know what the follow up 557 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 3: was because that was a very short clip that was 558 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: apparently an interview conducted at a rave. I don't know 559 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: why I had disco music in the background, but yeah, 560 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 3: what a joke. And then she goes to audiences and 561 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 3: or does a live address and the MC asks, now, 562 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 3: are you thinking about running? And she says, I've said 563 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 3: I'm not done yet. The crowd Yay, what a few 564 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 3: people not gotten. 565 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's unfortunate she's not going to 566 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 4: actually be able to run, even if she plans to, 567 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 4: because I'd like it to run, because I think it'd 568 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 4: be fun. She would humiliate herself even more. There's gonna 569 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 4: be zero dollars because smart people with lots of money 570 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 4: who donate to candidates, they're hearing this crap. And when 571 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 4: they hear her say to John Stewart, yeah, I think 572 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 4: he could have run. He could have been president for 573 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 4: four more years. Okay, I'm not giving you any damn money. 574 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 5: Well, it is what it is because he is who 575 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 5: he is. 576 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 6: That's why it is what it is. 577 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 4: Because at some point, Oh, I want to mention this. 578 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 4: Josh Shapiro laid a little groundwork a couple of days 579 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 4: ago around the whole You know, I was never around 580 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 4: Joe Biden, so I didn't see the things other people saw. 581 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 4: Laying a little ground wore for going after Kamala Harris 582 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 4: or whoever else might run that was in the administration, 583 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 4: for saying this person who knew what Joe Biden was 584 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 4: like allowed us to lose to Donald Trump by keeping 585 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 4: it a secret. 586 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 2: He's gonna do that. 587 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 3: Next He'll start making vague references to well, I haven't 588 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 3: turned Pennsylvania into a crap hole full of junkies. So anyway, 589 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 3: I'm proud of the work we've done here, right, and 590 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 3: Gavi'll flinch visibly. 591 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: Oh boy, that's gonna be fun to watch. Yeah, yeah, 592 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: I am. 593 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 4: I am stunned by the fact that she's gonna continue. 594 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 4: It's to claim that he was okay to be president 595 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 4: for four more years. He wasn't claim he wasn't capable 596 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 4: at the time, right, Yeah, Now, what is going on there? 597 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 2: She's a halflip, is it? 598 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 4: I wonder if it's because if she gives an inch 599 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 4: on that, Yeah, this is it. Probably if she gives 600 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 4: even an an inch. Oh, you don't think he was 601 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,479 Speaker 4: capable for four more years? At what point did you 602 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 4: realize the guy running for president couldn't be president for 603 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 4: four more years? And why didn't you say anything? That's 604 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 4: the next question. 605 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 3: And that's a different Fana liked it after that, and 606 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: then I've been the president. 607 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 4: That's a pretty voice.

Okay, we've been talking now 615 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks about this rash of states 616 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 3: that are handing out commercial driver's licenses to immigrants. Sometimes 617 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 3: illegals who can't speak or read English can't pass the 618 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 3: tests and are killing people on America's highways. The one 619 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 3: thing to note in this is will become clear the 620 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 3: driver in question has a bit of a wardrobe difficulty 621 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 3: going on. 622 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: Why are you park here? 623 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 10: Yeah? 624 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 2: I'm talking at the hour?

It's all I need to say. 638 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 4: Oh California where they give out driver's licenses to commercial 639 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 4: truck drivers piloting gazillion ton weapons of death to anybody, 640 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 4: whether you're from this country or not, whether you speak 641 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 4: English or not. That's fantastic and so sartorial. California state 642 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 4: flag has been unleash jack. It was the bear, of course, 643 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 4: and then it was the unicorn for cal Unicornia. Now 644 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 4: it's a pantless Asian illegal immigrant commercial truck driver sitting 645 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 4: with his drawers visible in the cab of a truck 646 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 4: the new California flag. 647 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: Now, is there anything on towured going on? 648 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 4: Or is he just parked someplace he shouldn't park to 649 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 4: climb in his sleeper and sleep. Then you know, I 650 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 4: take my pants off to sleep too. He was parked 651 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 4: dangerously close to a land of the highway, right, and 652 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 4: probably amount of time as. 653 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 3: An immigrant who cannot speak nor read English, which is 654 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 3: absolutely required for commercial truck drivers. 655 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 10: Right. 656 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 4: The reason he was parked someplace you shouldn't park when 657 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 4: you're pulling over your truck to sleep. Is he had 658 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 4: no training or you know, because how could you possibly 659 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 4: have any training because he didn't take the test or 660 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,479 Speaker 4: pass it. I like, how many of these people, including 661 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,239 Speaker 4: that guy who killed a bunch of people the other day, 662 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 4: have flunked the test over and over and over again, 663 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 4: so that there's a lot of people that should be 664 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,959 Speaker 4: on the hook of that. Obviously, the state of Washington 665 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 4: and California or whatever states are given out these driver's licenses. 666 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 4: How about these companies that are probably bribing politicians to 667 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 4: push for let us hire drivers from other countries because 668 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 4: we can pay him nothing, versus hire having to hire 669 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 4: somebody from you know, inside the United States who speaks English. 670 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 2: And can actually pass the test. So there's a lot 671 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 2: of people on the hook for this.
