When announcing a special 45 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 1: prosecutor to look into the sitting president nine States of America. 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: Earlier today, I signed an order appointing Robert her a 47 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: special Counsel for the matter I've just described. The document 48 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violated 49 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: the law in connection with this matter. The Special Council 50 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: will not be subject to the day to day supervision 51 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: of any official of the Department, but he must comply 52 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: with the regulations, procedures, and policies of the Department. Mister 53 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,559 Speaker 1: Herr has a long and distinguished career as a prosecutor. 54 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: In two thousand and three, he joined the Department's Criminal Division, 55 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: where he worked on counter terrorism, corporate fraud, and appellate matters. 56 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: From two thousand and seven until twenty fourteen, mister Hurr 57 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: served as an assistant US Attorney for the District of Maryland, 58 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: where he prosecuted matters ranging from violent crime to financial fraud. 59 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen, mister Hurr rejoined the Department as the 60 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. In twenty eighteen, he was 61 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: nominated and confirmed to serve as a US Attorney for 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: the District of Maryland. As US Attorney, he supervised some 63 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: of the departments more important national security, public corruption, and 64 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: other high profile matters. I will ensure that mister Hurr 65 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: receives all the resources he needs to conduct his work. 66 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: As I have said before, I strongly believe that the 67 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: normal processes of this Department can handle all investigations with integrity, 68 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: but under the regulation, the extraordinary circumstances here require the 69 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: appointment of a special counsel for this matter. This appointment 70 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: underscores for the public the Department's commitment to both independence 71 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: and accountability in particularly sensitive matters, and to making decisions 72 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: indisputably guided only by the facts and the law. I 73 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: am confident that mister Herr will carry out his responsibility 74 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: in an even handed and urgent manner, and in an 75 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: accordance with the highest traditions of this Department. Thank you all. 76 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: Have you ever spoken to the President about this investigation? Sir, 77 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: no questions. He walked out there as fast as he could. 78 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: You see him say it this way, you can tell 79 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: he's like, I've lost control. I can't protect Joe Biden now. 80 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: And if you look at a special prosecutor, they're gonna 81 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: dig and people are going to ask you this question. 82 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask it. Who is this special prosecutor? 83 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: What do we know about him? Is he part of 84 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: the swamp or a guy that may actually do the 85 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: job the right way? So let me say a couple 86 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: of things for the folks who are watching this on YouTube. 87 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: And this is one of our video episodes. You were 88 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 1: able to watch that you were able to actually see 89 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland see the absolute pain and agony. For the 90 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: folks who are listening to this in audio, I can 91 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,559 Speaker 1: just convey to you that I'm pretty sure the whole 92 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: time Merrick Garland was actually blinking sos. Yeah, And just 93 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: take my word for it. That visual que is there, 94 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: you know, it's striking. At the end of that clip, 95 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: he's asked a question, one question from a reporter. Have 96 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: you talked to Joe Biden about this? And Merrick Garland 97 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: rural turns walks away. We don't answer. No, stinkin questions 98 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: at the Department of Justice, no interest in accountability, no 99 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: interest in that's a pretty important question. What conversation have 100 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: you had with Joe Biden about this? Unwilling to answer it. 101 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: Who is Robert her I don't know. I suspect we're 102 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: going to hear a lot of discussion about that in 103 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: the next several days coming forward, the next several weeks 104 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: coming forward. I've met him. I don't know him well. 105 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: He was a former clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist, 106 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: as was I. He clerked I think six years after 107 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: I did, so we didn't overlap, but the world of 108 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: clerks is a pretty small, little ancestuous world. Before that, 109 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: he clerk for Alex Kazinski, who was a judge on 110 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit, was at the time one of the 111 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 1: top conservative appellate judges in the country. Those are good signs. 112 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: Most people who clerked for Kazinski and rank Quist not liberal. 113 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: Our right of center, not one hundred percent ranks. There 114 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: are Rankuist clerks who are left of center, but most people, 115 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: if you're Kazinski rank Quist, are right of center. He's 116 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: been a prosecutor much of his career, a prosecutor or 117 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: a lawyer in private practice. I will say one one 118 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: huge red flag at the outset is Robert Herr was 119 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein's right hand and for people that forget Rod 120 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: Rosenstein and how much of a figure he has been 121 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: over the last several years, explained that. So let's walk 122 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: through who was Rod Rosenstein. Rod Rosenstein was the deputy 123 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: Attorney General under Donald Trump when Jeff Sessions became Attorney General. 124 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: That appointment and Trump appointed Rod Rosenstein. That appointment was 125 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: a tragic mistake that visited enormous grief on the Trump 126 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: White House and the Trump presidency. Rod Rosenstein had been 127 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: the US attorney under Barack Obama for the state of Maryland. 128 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: He was the top prosecutor for the Department of Justice 129 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: in Maryland in the Obama DOJ. Look, Rod is not 130 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: a left winger, right, but he's a company man. He's 131 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: a DOJ company man. And if you look at how 132 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice operates, all right. So number one, 133 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: like most places in Washington, there's an alphabet soup, so 134 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: the AG is at the top. The number two official 135 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: in the Department of Justice is the Deputy AG. And 136 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: in the acronym world, that's called the DAG. The DAG 137 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: is essentially and everyone calls him the DAG. The DAG 138 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: is essentially the chief operating officer of the agency. So 139 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: the DAG runs DJ day to day. And the way 140 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: the DAG does that is the DAG has a series 141 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 1: of lawyers reporting to him who are what are called 142 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: a DAGs, which are associate deputy attorneys General. I was 143 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: an a DAG in the George W. Bush Department of Justice. 144 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: I was an associate deputy Attorney general in each of 145 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: the A DAGs is responsible for helping the DAG run 146 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. Now you have multiple a DAGs, 147 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: and then you have one, this is where Washington really 148 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: does get ridiculous. One who is the principal associate deputy 149 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: attorney general who's known as the paydag. You can't make 150 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: this up. I'm not. I'm really not. That's the amazingly 151 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: in Washington could this actually make sense to people? So 152 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: when Rod Rosenstein was the DAG, he appointed as his paydag, 153 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: in other words, as his principal guy, his right hand 154 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: Robert her Now Rod Rosenstein is the one you'll remember 155 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: Jeff's sessions early on recused himself from the Russia investigation. 156 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: So Rod Rosenstein was responsible for that absolute garbage. I've 157 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: an investigation it was look as listeners of this pod no. 158 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: My last book, Justice Corrupted. By the way, if you 159 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: haven't bought Justice Corrupted, go by Justice Corrupted. There's an 160 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: entire chapter that will walk you through what Rod Rosenstein 161 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: did with the Russian Vistic investigation, with the corruption, with 162 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: the disaster. Rod Rosenstein is the one who appointed Robert Muller. 163 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: You want to talk about appointing special counsels, Rod Rosenstein 164 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: is the one who appointed Robert Muller started the whole 165 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: Russia fiasco to begin with, and Robert her was Rosenstein's 166 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: right hand. Now about a year into it, her got 167 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: appointed US Attorney for Maryland, the job Rosenstein had left, 168 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: and so he succeeded him and took over his US attorney. 169 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: What I don't know, and will this will come out 170 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: in the next few days, is how involved her was 171 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: in the whole Russia disaster, in the Steel dossier, in 172 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: the wire taps and surveilling President Trump. I don't know 173 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: his involvement or not, but we're gonna find that. We're 174 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: gonna find out and it's gonna matter a lot. The 175 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: fact that he was Rosenstein's right hand is not an 176 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: encouraging sign. Let's talk about the documents. There's two timelines 177 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: that I think are extremely important. One the timeline of 178 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: how many years these documents were not in a secure location. 179 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: If you look at the timeline of when the Pen 180 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: Center was even created, there are gaps of years where 181 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: these documents had to be in other places. I've talked 182 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: to people that have said they think these documents could 183 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: have been separated some I'm going to his house, to 184 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 1: his garage, so I'm going to the Pen Center. They 185 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: could have been separated multiple times. They could have been 186 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: also moved multiple times. And I doubt that it was 187 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: attorneys that were hired every time to move these documents 188 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: that he didn't know he had, even though they claimed 189 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: even this last week, which I think is still absurd, Oh, 190 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: my attorneys were packing up my office. Attorneys are not 191 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: traditionally moving companies. But if they were, how many other 192 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: times did they move these documents. The second timeline is 193 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: how long did you have these documents from the beginning, 194 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: Not just that, but also when did everybody know about this? 195 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: And it was for election? Day and there wasn't a 196 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: single leak on this before the midterms. Yeah, so the 197 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: timeline they've laid out some of the timeline. We'll find 198 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: out if that timeline is real or not. We don't 199 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: know right now. But what they are admitting they claim 200 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: they first found these documents on November second. Now, November second, 201 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: if you look at a calendar, is before November eighth, 202 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: which was election day. Now do you think it might 203 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: have been a problem if when they found them on 204 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: November second, they had admitted they found them on November second. Sure, 205 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: there's a reason they didn't tell anyone until after election 206 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: day because it let the press just focus on an 207 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: attack Donald Trump. Donald Trump, This is terrible, Look Biden, 208 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,359 Speaker 1: how could you be so irresponsible? He? You know, everyone 209 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: knows you would never leave. In fact, we have one 210 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: of those Biden clips to remind people. Take a list 211 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: and look at this. This is Biden grand standing and 212 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: this is going to come back to haunt him, I 213 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: think for probably the next two years of his presidency 214 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: at bare minimum. Take a look at this. When you 215 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out 216 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: on the floor of Marlago, what did you think to yourself, 217 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: looking at that image, how that could possibly happen? How 218 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: on anyone could be that irresponsible? And I thought what 219 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: data was in there that may compromise sources and methods. 220 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: By that I mean names of people who helped, etc. 221 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: And it's just totally irresponsible. Now you look at that 222 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: before before I get your response. Okay, let's look at 223 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: the last question he answered today on this where he 224 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: was asked like, how could you be so stupid, mister president, 225 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: to have documents literally in your garage? Here it is 226 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: laid next year corvette. What were you thinking? Let me, uh, 227 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna get a chance to speak on all this 228 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: God William soon. But I said earlier this week people, 229 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: and by the way, my corvette is in a lock garage. Okay, 230 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: so it's not like you're sitting out in the street 231 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: at any rate. Yes, as well as my corvette. But 232 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: as I said earlier this week, people know I take 233 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: classified documents and classified materials seriously, No you don't. They're 234 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: in your garage, man, Ben. All I gotta say is 235 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: karma is a bit yeah. Like the Democrats and the 236 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: press have been grandstanding, had been ridiculing Donald Trump, had 237 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: been going after him like crazy. At this point, it 238 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: appears Biden just keeps finding classified documents. First in the 239 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: Penn Center, then in the garage next to the corvet 240 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: at by the way. They also said not just in 241 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: the garage, they said, and in the room adjoining the garage. 242 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: They haven't said what room that is. Now, Look, most 243 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: houses I've been in, what is the room adjoining the garage? 244 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: A bathroom? Yeah, maybe the washing machine room or an 245 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: outside storage room with outside entry that's not exactly secure. Like, 246 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but I think they 247 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: don't want to say what it is because like the 248 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: other the basement bathroom server right for Hill it is. 249 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: Maybe that's what's there. Maybe he's got Hillary servers. I 250 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: don't know that that's there. There's their speculation. Look, and 251 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: then Merritt Garland said, oh yeah, and they found something else, 252 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: Like they didn't say where. I don't know if it's like, 253 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: you know, under his pillow he sleeps snuggling it. Now, 254 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: I gotta say it's a little bit weird. And to 255 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: be honest, it's weird that Trump has these documents too. 256 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: I'm not now I will say past presidents, all of 257 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: them have had disputes with the Archives over their papers. Yes, 258 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: they want it for the Presidential Library, they want it 259 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: for their story, they want it for their time and 260 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: off is to show their accomplishments. I get that. But 261 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: to be clear so people understand this, the vice president 262 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: cannot declassify anything while they're not. He is zero authority 263 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: to declassify anything. And listen, I have served in the Senate. 264 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: I've never served as president or vice president, although I 265 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: tried damn hard, but I haven't. You know, Joe Biden 266 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: spent forty years in the Senate. I can tell you 267 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: in the Senate there is a zero point zero percent 268 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: chance that I have a classified document anywhere, because I've 269 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: never taken a classified document out of the skift. Like 270 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: in the Senate, the only place you handle classified documents 271 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: is in the secure room in the basement of the Senate. 272 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: And if people missed our last podcasts, you talked about 273 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: the skift. We talked about the rules and the regulations 274 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: and the protections of classified documents so that things like 275 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: this literally don't happen. Go back and listen that. Because 276 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: you explained how it works for senators, how it works 277 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: for people to have top secret clearance how it works 278 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: for people that work in our government, and having them 279 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: in your garage is never an appropriate location. Look, when 280 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: I was at the Department of Justice as an associate 281 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General, I had a safe in my office, 282 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: a big safe that when I had classified documents there, 283 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: you would put in the safe and you would lock 284 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: the safe. The executive branch you encounter more classified documents, 285 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: so it's less surprising with presidents. It's interesting that Biden 286 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: as vice president seems to have these classified documents laying 287 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: around everywhere. One of the leagues said that these documents 288 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: dealt with Ukraine. Some of these did one of the 289 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: leagues that also ran and possibly China. There's a lot 290 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: of money that came in from anonymous donors to the 291 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: Biden pen center. Forty plus million dollars were being funded 292 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: by communist China on China in the place funded by 293 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: the Chinese. That's a good idea, yeah, and a place that, 294 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: let's be clear understand it was not considered a secure location. 295 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: He also obviously went off script. I'm sure staff is 296 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: furious that he said, well, it's where my corvette is 297 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: and it's locked in my garage, Like Hey, that's a 298 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: Biden vault here. Everybody calmed down. But when I mean, 299 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: this is not a secure location, especially before he became 300 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: the president. Again, like there's still people around his house 301 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: in Delaware now that because he's the president. But in 302 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: this time I was telling the two time frames. There 303 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: was years here where he had no Secret Service protection, 304 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: no protection at all. Vice presidents don't get protection afterwards. 305 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: Usually they're pretty much on their own afterwards. He was 306 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: gone from this residency in Delaware, which means there was 307 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: no one watching these documents. Well, but it was bias Corvette. 308 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: That's true, So that's safe. And I do hope we 309 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: actually find out where exactly in the garage, like just 310 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: in a pile of well even as they showed a 311 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 1: campaign ad and now people are zooming in and there's 312 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: a little pile of documentary ze papers and these and 313 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: these bags next to whereas corvette is. When he's pulling 314 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: the corvette out of his garage and back in for 315 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: some campaign you know purpose he had back in it. 316 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: I think it said twenty nineteen. So I also got 317 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: to say, why are they in this garage with this corvette? 318 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: Look at it. I've read lots of classified documents. I've 319 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: never seen one that I've said I want to take 320 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: this home. Now, I'm not Sandy Burger. I've never stuffed 321 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: documents down my pants. So I don't understand how Democrats 322 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: deal with this. But I don't know why these documents 323 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: were so special to him that he apparently is hiding 324 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,360 Speaker 1: them throughout his house. Now, listen, let's set aside. We'll 325 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: see what this special counsel does. This is going to 326 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: complicate Joe Biden's life, but the person, how much is 327 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: it going to complicate it? I mean, this is this 328 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: one of those where your agenda gets derailed. And this 329 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: could get nasty because it could connect you as the 330 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: big guy and these documents. Because if these documents that 331 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: he kept dealt with financial issues or things or decisions 332 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: by our government that have a positive impact on his 333 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: son's financial dealings in Ukraine, Barisma, China and other financial things, 334 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: some of these documents could have dealt with those issues, 335 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: and if they did, the world of trouble gets vastly larger. Now, look, 336 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: we have no evidence, no indication right now of what's 337 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: in those documents other than people of leak that they 338 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: concerned Iran in the UK and Ukraine, if they concerned 339 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and Barisma business deals, and the whole world changes. 340 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: If they were documents that are relevant to questions of 341 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: official corruption by Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, that's a 342 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: big deal. But we have no indication to that now. 343 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: So it's that would change the situation pretty dramatically. Some 344 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: of this is going to depend on Robert hur and 345 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: if he is a straightforward by the book prosecutor, or 346 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: if he is part of the d state that manufactured 347 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: the Russia case against Donald Trump in the most corrupt 348 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: way imaginable, if he goes in and his approach to this. 349 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: Look the Biden Department of Justice. I talk about this 350 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: in the book Justice Corrupted. They appointed us a special 351 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: counsel to look at Lois Lerner. Yeah, and that special 352 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: counsel was a big Democrat donor who promptly said nothing 353 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: to see here. All fine. It is possible that this 354 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: appointment is entirely about optics and his job is just 355 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: you know, say, well, he's screwed up, but he didn't 356 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: mean to, and everything's fine. Never mind. That's possible. It's 357 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: also possible. Look, anytime you have a special counsel that 358 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: has the potential to balloon and get bigger and bigger 359 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: and bigger. Bill Clinton learned that, Donald Trump learned that 360 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: there's a long history of special counsels of their jurisdictions growing. 361 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: And so if that happens, that would be a big deal. 362 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: But even if none of that happens, this has dramatically 363 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: complicated Merrick Garland's life. It's dramatically complicated. We've talked on 364 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: this podcast at length. I believe Merrick Garland wants to 365 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: criminally charge Donald Trump. Yeah, does that take this off 366 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: the table in essence? Now, well, we've talked before about 367 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: the reason they leaked that they were going to prosecute 368 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. Now, remember they want what they've leaked is 369 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: they want to prosecute Hunter Biden on his personal crimes 370 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: that only implicate him and don't implicate his dad. And 371 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 1: you and I have talked about that. I think they 372 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 1: want to do that as political cover to say, see, 373 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: we prosecute Hunter Biden, we prosecute Donald Trump. Aren't we 374 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: even handed? This just changed that whole chessboard, because it 375 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: ain't complicated that if both Trump and Biden have classified 376 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: docks and suddenly the bidendj says, we're prosecuting Trump, but 377 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: not Biden. Even the lap dogs in the corporate media 378 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: like that question. You can't refrain from asking. And so 379 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: it's why Merrick Garland looks so miserable because he's looking 380 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: down the road and his plan of what he thought 381 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: he was going to do just got screwed up. And 382 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: I don't know where this goes. I mean, it really is. 383 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, at this point, it seems every 384 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: day Biden keeps finding more classified documents. This may not 385 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: be the end of it. It may not be the end. 386 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: It has dribbled out. Now it's worth underscoring Joe Biden 387 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 1: and or his team knew about this six days before 388 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: election day. They hit it from the American people. They 389 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: deliberately hit it for the American people. Now do I 390 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: know if Joe Biden knew personally know, But they're one 391 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: of two scenarios. One he knew, which is probably the 392 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: case sure, or two if he didn't know. The only 393 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: reason he wouldn't know is if it's team deliberately didn't 394 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: tell him, so he could have plausible deniability and say 395 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know. Either way, that deception to try to 396 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: influence the election is really corrupt. It's corrupt on a 397 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: level that he will now have to be held accountable 398 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: for if this prosecutor goes somewhere. Let's talk about the 399 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: job of the special prosecutor quickly, and by the way, 400 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: I will say, look, we're seeing this week. We're seeing 401 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: suddenly reporters asking real questions, press briefing. We're seeing and 402 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: not just reporters from Fox, we're seeing CBS, like suddenly, 403 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: the corporate media. It's it's gotten bad enough that they're 404 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: being forced to do their jobs. That's an important development. 405 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: Or is it that the useful idiot is no longer 406 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: useful and they're saying, we really don't want him to run. 407 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: Democrats clearly we're kind of hoping that if there was 408 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: a bloodbath in the midterms and the Senate was lost 409 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: and the House was lost, that they would then say, 410 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: all right, we need a new leader, right, don't for reelection. 411 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 1: Then it was very clear they were like, all right, 412 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: we got to stick with him now because they still 413 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: have the Senate. This could be their moment where they say, 414 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: all right, let's take our hand off of him, and 415 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: this may be our way to get rid of him, 416 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: and I wonder if the Democratic Party is now kind 417 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: of like, all right, we got through the midterms, We 418 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: don't want to run him in twenty twenty four. We 419 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: desperately want a new face. We got rid of Pelosi, 420 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: we got came Jeffreies. This is the makeover. Maybe in 421 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: the easiest way to make that makeover happen. So maybe 422 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: I will say, if you're a hardcore partisan Democrat, this 423 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: has been a really bad week. Yeah. And if you're 424 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: a hardcore partisan Democrat who is also a corporate media journalist, 425 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: which they pretty much all are, you can go after 426 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 1: Biden to try to say, Okay, it's time to ride 427 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: off into the sunset. We want the next generation of 428 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: Democrats to run. But that's a dangerous game. Look if 429 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: if your president resigns in disgrace or doesn't run in 430 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: disgrace because they're tarred by scandal, because they're facing criminal prosecution, 431 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: that ain't good. Yeah, it doesn't set well with the 432 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: next guy up for success well to win. And you know, 433 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: by the way, all of this is on top of 434 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: this week. What happened, Well this week, the FAA screwed 435 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: up and halted all flights for several hours, first time 436 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: since September eleventh, every fightay Bent ever happened. Oh well, 437 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: we got good data points from that Mayor Pete. I'll 438 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: play this Mayor Pete this week's We got some really 439 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: good dat out of this, Like this is good news. 440 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to overcome this. Take a look. 441 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: Now that the system is up and running. Our primary 442 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: focus is to determine that route cause and I've directed 443 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: FAA to figure out exactly how this happened. The timeline 444 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: piece by piece about what was known overnight, going into 445 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: last night and then coming out of it. So glitterers 446 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: or complications happen all the time, but we can't allow 447 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: them to ever lead to this level of disruption, and 448 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: we won't ever allow them to lead to a safety problem. 449 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: Can you promise that? I don't think so, Like, we 450 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: won't ever let this happen again. But we don't know 451 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: what happened, and we got some good data points. It's 452 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: almost like being a small town mayor is not really 453 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: qualifications to run a major cabinet agency when you know 454 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: nothing about the industry. Look you look at at Budajug's 455 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,719 Speaker 1: tenure his first year in office. We had a major 456 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: supply chain crisis, which most people hadn't even have focused 457 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: on what the heck of supply chain was right until 458 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: the Biden administration screwed it up. In the middle of 459 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: the biggest crisis the Transportation Department has ever seen, Pete 460 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: Boodhajedge was on paternity leave and he wasn't at the office. 461 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: Then we saw just a couple of months ago we 462 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: were on the verge of a massive and major rail 463 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: strike again because the Biden administration had screwed it up. 464 00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: And now oops, the FAA is not able to keep 465 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 1: planes in the air safely. And by the way, the 466 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: Biden administration two years in, does not have an FAA 467 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: administrator in place. They nominated the guy who runs the 468 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: Denver Airport who has no experience with issues dealing with 469 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: safety and aviation. Look run it. Running an airport is 470 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: totally different. And by the way, he has major scandal issues, 471 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: which is part of why the Democrats in the Senate 472 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: haven't moved him forward and confirmed him because it's not 473 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: clearly as the votes that could be confirmed. So two 474 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: years into it, they don't have ahead of the FAA. 475 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: That's a problem. It's a competus problem. Oh and by 476 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: the way, in the middle of all of this, they 477 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: also tossed out a trial balloon, let's ban all gas stoves. Yeah, 478 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: that was just some random thing, an issue that came 479 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: out there, like we don't want you cooking on gas anymore? 480 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: Like what in the hell? Like this has been one 481 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: of those weeks. It's like, okay, you guys, uh, you're 482 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: coming up with some insane things and it's for all 483 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: virtue signaling. Can't can't wait to see what happens next week. 484 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: All right, as we wrap up, I want to do 485 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: something just interesting. As I was on my phone and 486 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: I was looking at at different doing research for this show, 487 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: I stumbled across an article in Britannica that I just 488 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: thought was interesting, which is the Secret Service code names 489 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: for US presidents. And I didn't know that though. This 490 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: so starting with JFK. JFK's codename. I have no idea Lancer. 491 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: I gotta figure that one out. Richard Nixon searchlight? That 492 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: actually makes sense? Water? Did I get that one? Gerald 493 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 1: Ford pass key? I don't get that one. I don't 494 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 1: know what that means. Jimmy Carter, you're gonna like this one. 495 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: Deacon that's actually pretty good for him. That makes a 496 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: lot of sense. Ronald Reagan, he's got it's got to 497 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: be a good one. That be a going because it's Reagan. 498 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: Raw Hide. That totally makes sense. That's just awesome. George 499 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: Herbert Walker Bush forty one, Timberwolf. I'm curious on that one. 500 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: Does that go back to CIA days? I don't know. 501 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: I don't know the history. Yeah, Bill Clinton, I've got 502 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: a lot, but I'm sure I'm gonna be wrong on 503 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: all of them. Horn Dog, Okay, perfect, God, I knew 504 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: I was right. Now. Okay that that that that's not right, 505 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: that's that's fake news. Okay, it was actually Eagle Bush 506 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: forty three. Yep, Trailblazer. I like that one. Obama. I 507 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: have a feeling they're gonna up his annie just because 508 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: it was Obama. Renegade. There you go. Trump, this one 509 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: is probably I would assume bad, but maybe they gave 510 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: him something decent at the beginning of his administration. Mogul. 511 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: That's totally accurate. And Joe Biden document. Celtic. They should 512 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: have at least gone with Corvette. Actually don't know if 513 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: it's Celtic or Celtic, but it's spelled Celtic one of 514 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: the two. It's maybe he's a Boston fanandel where you 515 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: know he's leaning in on the Irish. So that's not 516 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: particularly relevant to the pod today. I just saw that 517 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: and thought it was interesting, and I figured the folks 518 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: listening to the podwords I like it always bringing up 519 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: the fun stuff like that.
