Speaker 4: Indeed we do so.

18
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: A new plot to hide the Ebstein files is coming

19
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: into view. Dems and Republicans also, after voting to release

20
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 2: the Abstein files, which was good, come together in an

21
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 2: absolutely disgusting grow testue corrupt deals. So we'll break those

22
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: details down for you. Meanwhile, DC Republicans and Trump himself

23
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: working overtime to try to block any sort of AI

24
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: regulation at the state level. You know, we got to

25
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: talk about that one. Some shocking new polling on the minterms.

26
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: We'll break that down for you. Trump's case against Jim

27
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: Comey is falling apart spectacularly in an absolutely humiliating fashion.

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: And Ross Barkin is going to join us to break

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: down a number of things that are going on in

30
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: New York, specifically with our mom Donnie. He is actually

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: coming to DC to meet with Trump. He also last

32
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: night showed up at him meeting to block an endorsement

33
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: of Hakeem Jeffrey's opponent. So lots going on there, and

34
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: there are a whole bunch of other primary challenges from

35
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: the left coming in New York City specifically, So super

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: excited to talk to Ross about all of that.

37
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exciting. The zorn Our boys all grown up.

38
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: He's already blocking endorsements for the blocking endorsements for Hockey

39
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: Jeffrey's challengers.

40
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,720

Speaker 1: Rates five stars. It really helps the show grow.

50
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: But as you said, Trump has officially signed the new bill.

51
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: He did it in the dead of.

52
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: Night, in silence, with no cameras, not exactly something he's

53
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: known to do. This is the man who will call

54
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: a press conference in the Oval Office for like we

55
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: are updating the way that we you know, have hurricane

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: planes or something, and turn it into a one hour

57
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: long thing.

58
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: He could have had the victims there, I mean, that's

59
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: what Rocanna I know at least probably Thomas Massey as

60
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: well Marjorie Taylor Green were suggesting do a signing ceremony,

61
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 2: take ownership over it, have the survivors there behind you,

62
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 2: y n history.

63
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: Yes, he signed it late last night, and in fact

64
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 3: I was in touch with some of my friends who

65
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: still cover the White House.

66
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: They actually were sent.

67
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: Home as reporters when the bill was delivered to the

68
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: Oval and he signed it in private and then they

69
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: released it only through official channel. This is very rare,

70
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: again for the Trump administration. I can't tell you how

71
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 3: many bill signings I attended when I was a White

72
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: House or boy.

73
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: It's very common.

74
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: It's one of the ways that you kind of turned

75
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: something into a press conference. And again he does this

76
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: all the time for various small little things. So, you know,

77
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: interesting behavior. Let's go and put this up here on

78
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: the screen. Then from signs the bill authorizing the release

79
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: of the Epstein files. The actual law text itself is

80
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: really important. It now says that the Attorney General has

81
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 3: thirty days to make available unclassified documents related to the

82
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: disgraced finance here and his associate Galaine Maxwell. The difficult

83
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: part is what did I just say unclassified? And already

84
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 3: the Attorney General is laying the groundwork for some significant

85
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: redactions in the eventual release some one.

86
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: Month from now. Here's what the Attorney General, Pam Bondi,

87
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: had to say.

88
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: Does the new investigation by the Southern District of New

89
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: York US Attorney prevent the Department from releasing all of

90
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: the remaining files?

91
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 5: So we have released thirty three thousand, over thirty three

92
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 5: thousand Epstein documents to the Hill and will continue to

93
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 5: follow the law and to have maximum transparency. Also we

94
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 5: will always encourage all victims to come forward.

95
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: So clearly she didn't say no, because the question very specifically,

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: does the new investigation prevent the DOJ from releasing all

97
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: of those files? Now, this is in combination with Ken Klippenstein.

98
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: He's got a new report. Let's going to put that

99
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 3: up here on the screen. The Epstein Bill passes as

100
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 3: top official circulate plans to block transparency, and so what

101
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: he has been able to reveal is that if you

102
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: actually read the text of the law, there is a

103
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: national security a concern carve out that is inside Hr

104
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 3: four four oh five requires the Attorney General to complete

105
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: the release of the information, including a de class classifided information,

106
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: to the maximum extent possible. This raises two concerns. First,

107
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 3: it may not be feasible to properly undertake an extensive

108
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 3: review in such a short period of time. Second, ignores

109
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 3: the principal declassifications to rest with the agency. So this

110
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: is exactly the national security argument that he warned about,

111
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: which would be used to block the disclosure from the

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: DOJ and from the FBI with their hundreds of the

113
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand files or so that are inside.

114
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: Very good flag from him.

115
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: What it does represent though, is that just like with

116
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: JFK or with you know, UFOs, with anything, just because

117
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: they put something out that doesn't make it true. Just

118
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: because they put something out doesn't actually mean that it's

119
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: usually not indicative of even further of a cover up.

120
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: So that is the flag where we are.

121
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: I do want to take a moment to celebrate Thomas

122
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: Massey at Rocanna.

123
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I said that I'm a cynical guy.

124
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: I don't usually expect.

125
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: Anything to really happen here, and I thought it was

126
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: dead the moment that Trump and all of them started

127
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: to come after it, and they just.

128
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: Kept fighting, kept fighting.

129
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: Four hundred and twenty seven to one in the House

130
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: of Representatives never seen anything like it. Brute forced it

131
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: through the Senate, even though Mike Johnson and Trump said

132
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 3: that the Senate wanted to change it. No senator wanted

133
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: to be on the record saying that no, we're not

134
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: going to vote against it. And Donald Trump cowed in

135
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: the dead of night, forced to sign this piece of

136
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: legislation which he fought tooth and for over two months

137
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: to try to defeat.

138
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: So things are still possible in this town, folks.

139
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 3: I mean, it's amazing to see awestly warms my heart.

140
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: I don't know, for the first time in a long.

141
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: Time, I don't know if we've ever seen a I

142
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: think you have to go back to like John McCain

143
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 2: blocking the ACA repeal and replace to think of a

144
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: similar sort of defeat. But this one was so comprehensive.

145
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: He was looking at Trump, was looking at losing some

146
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: one hundred potentially Republicans. And that's why Ultimate is like, well, jeez,

147
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: I just gotta I mean, I just got to.

148
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: If you can't beat him, you got to join him.

149
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 4: What else can I do?

150
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: And I'll just try my best to message that really

151
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: the Democrats are all the bad guys and there's no Republicans.

152
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 2: And I'm certainly not implicated here, even though we've already

153
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: seen the birthday book, we've seen his name littered throughout

154
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: these files, and we've seen these special treatment that Glene

155
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: Maxwell is getting down at her club fed as well,

156
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: which is also very indicative of the fact that he's

157
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: worried what she could present to the public. So, you know,

158
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: give a lot of credit to everyone that was involved.

159
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: Rocanna Thomas Massy first and foremost Marjorie Taylor Green also

160
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: very impactful on the Democratic side.

161
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 4: You know, you have to think, Sager.

162
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 2: You remember when we interviewed Alyssa's in her line and

163
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: the official line of the Democratic Party was Epstein is

164
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 2: a distraction. Sure, we're interested in it, but this is

165
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: a distraction from the price of eggs or whatever. Not

166
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: to say those aren't important issues as well, of course

167
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: they are. But Rocanan was like a dog with a

168
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: bone with this thing. He understood, and I think in

169
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: large part because he goes on shows like ours, and

170
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: goes on all kinds of different podcast shows, and goes

171
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: and is out there in the country as well, he

172
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: understood that this really struck a nerve, that it really

173
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: went to the core of Donald Trump's brand, the way

174
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: he had presented himself, not just to the country, but

175
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: to specifically to his own base. He knew this would

176
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: be a very difficult issue for him, and that instinct

177
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: and that insight ultimately paid off. Now we were never

178
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: pollyannish about thinking that this was going to be some

179
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: silver bullet and now all the truth is going to

180
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: come to light.

181
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: That is not how these things work.

182
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: They are certainly engaged right now and I mean I

183
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: think they've been engaged to cover up the whole time.

184
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: The Trump administration is likely scrubbing the files. They're using

185
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: this investigation to block things. All they have to do,

186
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: because the bill says unclassified information, all they have to

187
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: do is, oh, well, this is classifieds are you can't

188
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 2: have it. And those pieces that they don't want to

189
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: come out will not come out. But you know what,

190
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: at least, at least we now have a tool. Just

191
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: like with the JFK bill that was past in the nineties,

192
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: it gave researchers and activists a tool to try to

193
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: force and compel the federal government to come out with documents,

194
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 2: and over time we've learned more and more and more.

195
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: My own personal opinion.

196
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: Is, even if it is just like you know, Larry

197
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: Summers or Bill Clinton or who whatever the Democrats are,

198
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: that we get the dirt on, that's fine. That's impotment.

199
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, that is a step forward. And

200
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 2: I think everybody already sees and knows that Trump was

201
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: very tied up in these circles in various ways, as

202
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: he was Jeffrey Epstein's best bud for like an entire

203
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: decade and his littered name, littered throughound the emails that

204
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: we already have released. So you know, with all the

205
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: caveats of the way they're going to go about trying

206
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: to scrub this and trying to cover up and cover

207
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 2: Trump's ass and all of that, I think we still

208
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: have to acknowledge that this is an extraordinary against the

209
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: odds victory and ultimately, really, you know, a victory for

210
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: these survivors, a victory for truth and discovery about foreign

211
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: influence in our government as well, specifically with regard to

212
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: the nation of Israel. Not that the media is continuing

213
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: to really cover that aspect outside of a few notable examples.

214
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're going to be correct kicking and scream into that,

215
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: and when they do, they just pearl clutch around it.

216
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: But we'll get there.

217
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 3: As you know, it's a long march in this war

218
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: beens covering since twenty and eighteen. I went back and

219
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: saw the very first video ever done on the subject,

220
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 3: and look, as you said, you know, even even covering

221
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: stuff up that in and of itself tells a story.

222
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: The nine to eleven commission, the infamous twenty eight pages.

223
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: We all knew it was in the pages eventually started

224
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: leaking out, and soon they became public with the Saudi

225
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: connection and all that was revealed, and now it's basically

226
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 3: part of lawsuits and others against the Saudi government and

227
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: put the Obama presidency in a very tough position whenever

228
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 3: he tried to block that, finding Saudi Arabian government, you know, liable.

229
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: He literally tried to block it, and the entire United

230
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 3: States said it voted again. So these things do have power.

231
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: It will take a lot long time. It's like, you know, again,

232
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: have covered so many of these things. Just this morning

233
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 3: there's a new CIA report that actually boasted about tricking

234
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: Congress on JFK.

235
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: This is from the nineteen seventies. But I mean, I

236
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: get good.

237
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 3: Look, I know, at the time when we needed it,

238
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 3: it didn't come out that said.

239
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: The fact that we still have all this truth matters.

240
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: And yes, even if they do cover up the Israel

241
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: connection and all that, we can get to that. You know,

242
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: by the way, we have enough in the public domain

243
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: already in order to basically say that it's done in

244
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 3: Dustin in terms of what he was, even if it's

245
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: just Larry Summers and the Rothschild family, and yeah, that's

246
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 3: actually still a pretty big deal. Yeah, or JP Morgan

247
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 3: or any.

248
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: Of these other people.

249
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: Look at the what's happened now with Larry Summers. I'm like, yeah, good,

250
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: you know these people should be.

251
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: Revealed for well, and think about like, if a Democrat

252
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: does win the White House in twenty twenty eight and

253
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: all the dirt has been released on the Democratic side,

254
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: what you think they're gonna then they're gonna be Okay.

255
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: The law compels me to release the rest of what

256
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 2: we have with regard to Trump. So if you are

257
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 2: just fixated on what was Trump's involvement here, which I

258
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 2: think is somewhat fair given that he is the president

259
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: of the United States, you know, this law also makes

260
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: it so that just with the change of leadership, you

261
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: don't require any new legislation or anything of the sort

262
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: to you know, have a tool to again press the

263
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: government to release additional information. So huge win here all around.

264
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: Speaking of Larry Summers, so we covered previously, he is

265
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: announced he's stepping back from all of his public commitments.

266
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: He resigned from the Open AI board, he stepped down

267
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: from his role crafting economic policy or the Center for

268
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 2: American Progress, but he is continuing to teach his Harvard classes.

269
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: Or he was yesterday. Now he is no longer after

270
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: this video came out.

271
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: Oh really, Oh I missed that. Yeah, late last night,

272
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 2: so that was okay, I missed that. I guess I

273
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: was saying for that. In any case, so he went

274
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: in front of his class and you know, explained how

275
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: much he regretted his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, which just

276
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 2: a reminder, he was talking to this man up until

277
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: the day before he was arrested. So this was not like,

278
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: oh it was the two thoughts. I had no idea.

279
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: I really didn't understand. No, this is after he's a

280
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 2: convicted sex criminal, registered sex offender. This is after all

281
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: of the reporting from Julie K. Brown and others about

282
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,119
Speaker 2: the extent of his of his network and this elaborate

283
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: global paedophile ring, like all of that is out there,

284
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: and Larry Summers is using him for advice for how

285
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: to sleep with this woman who was not only his

286
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: mentee but also the daughter of a Chinese party official.

287
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: So in any case, this is Summers explaining to his

288
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 2: class how much he regrets all of these interactions of

289
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: you will have.

290
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 6: Seen my statement of regret stretching my shame with respect

291
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 6: to what I did in communication with mister Evsteine, and

292
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 6: that I've said that I'm going to step back from

293
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 6: public activities part time. But that I think is very

294
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: reports Fellman teaching combligation. And so with your information on,

295
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 6: we're going to go forward and talk about the materials.

296
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: Malcolm of awkward beginning of the class I could possibly

297
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: imagine and the text on the screen because the student

298
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: surreptitiously recorded this is like, this is how Harvard classes start,

299
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: Professors apologizing for their Jeffrey Epstein.

300
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: Yes, well yeah, so as of late last night, Larry

301
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: Summers has revealed he will not finish his semester of

302
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: teaching as Harvard investigates Epstein ties. And look, you know,

303
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 3: maybe I'm just woke because I have a daughter now,

304
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: but yeah, I mean, could you imagine being a woman

305
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: in that class or any any class being taught by

306
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: Larry Summers When the Epstein emails are about him trying

307
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: to leverage his like power and connections. Larry Summers like

308
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: hitting on this woman while he's married and then bragging

309
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: about it to his wingman jeffreyps. I feel like no,

310
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: like get this fucking creep away from my kids. Man,

311
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: I mean, how could you possibly say that this.

312
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: Dude can be in a position of any power influence

313
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: on young girls?

314
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 7: No?

315
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, I mean he went to great

316
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: lengths to be but she wasn't a student, but she was.

317
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 4: He described her as like his mentee.

318
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: So he and he talked in the emails about how like,

319
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: I don't think she really wants this romantic relationship anymore,

320
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: but she still needs me for my guidance and basically

321
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: like I'm in this powerful position, so maybe that just

322
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: keeps her around, like actively talking about the way he's

323
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: exploiting this power dynamic to get in this woman's pants,

324
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: really disgusting stuff. And then also like I think Larry Summer,

325
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: in my opinion, Larry Summer should have been drumped down

326
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: in a public life long ago for his complicity and you know,

327
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: NAFTA and the bank bailounce, and I mean he's just

328
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: been at the as I said before, the scene of

329
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: like every great economic crime in recent American history. That

330
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: wasn't enough to push him out, but at least temporarily,

331
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: there are some repercussions Woke is back. There are consequence

332
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: culture it's here, and you know, fairly so, I would say,

333
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: in the case of Larry Summer.

334
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean seriously, though, there's this whole talk right

335
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 3: now amongst a certain group of people that are like, oh,

336
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: this is like a me too witch hunt.

337
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, is it, like no? For real?

338
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 3: Though, like he admitted to trying to cheat on his

339
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: wife with Jeffrey Epstein grabbed bragged about it as a

340
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: lecturer's creep well into his sixties and leveraging his own power.

341
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that that's like the same as the asease.

342
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Jess a battle article, right, I mean then,

343
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: and by the way, even whenever it comes to that,

344
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, wait, so are we saying like Matt Lauer

345
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: never should have been you know, fired?

346
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: Like, no, I don't think anybody is really saying that.

347
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 4: Okay.

348
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: What people are saying is like, yeah, I think it

349
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: went too far or it became a mania or hysteria. Fine,

350
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that happen yet with the Epstein case.

351
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: If anything, is the opposite is that there are a

352
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 3: lot of bunch of people who just openly are able

353
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: to go on cable television. As we'll get to in

354
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: a little bit like, Oh, he was just a guy

355
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: my constituent there who was texting me. So yeah, I mean,

356
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: you know, whenever it comes to this, it's one of

357
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: those where what's the standard, like it to be full

358
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: but a full blown convicted criminal like Epstein was right

359
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 3: in order to be canceled quote unquote.

360
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think the whole thing's crazy.

361
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it is an indication we're coming to like

362
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: a healthy place with all of this, where we hand

363
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: like evaluate the claims against someone on their merits and

364
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: consider what appropriate consequences are. And it's not just you know,

365
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: if there's anything said about you, then you're canceled. And

366
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: it's not believe all women, and it's also not believe

367
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: all men.

368
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, okay, so we can process these things.

369
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: We could see the totality of who you are and

370
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: how I mean this was years that he was so

371
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: close with Jeffrey Epstein.

372
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's anyway, also, he's in the position of

373
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: immense power.

374
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: I just talked about the professor. That's the least of

375
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: our problems on the board of open AI. You want

376
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: this freak on the board of the chat GPT and

377
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: of determining standards for national suicide.

378
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: What were we just talking about? No, okay, I mean,

379
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: come on.

380
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: Well, I mean and I'm like also very sort of

381
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: selfishly interested in getting him out of this Center for

382
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: American Progress effort as well, separate and apart from the

383
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein piece, because of his terrible economic ideology. So

384
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: in any case, I do have a submotivation there, I

385
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 2: will confess. Let's put a four up on the screen,

386
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: and we finally have one other outlet that series of

387
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 2: reporting on Epstein's Israel connections. So in some of these emails,

388
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: and this is very interesting. This is from another friend

389
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: of ours, of course, Bronco Marcitich, who does fantastic reporting

390
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 2: over at Jacobin magazine, and he writes that in these

391
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: newly released files, it shows Jeffrey Epstein claiming to have

392
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 2: been involved in Ahudbarock's twenty nineteen election challenge to Benjamin Netanya,

393
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: who is as this, well past time to ask questions

394
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: about the billionaire pedophiles links to Israel. Yeah, here here

395
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: on that one, and it's wild. He's actually emailing with

396
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: Steve Bannon. And one of these emails got a lot

397
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 2: of attention because he says something like, you know, now

398
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: you can understand why Trump stays up at night's wedding

399
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 2: when he knows that you and I are in touch.

400
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: But what the mainstream price when they reported that one out,

401
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: what they left out of the equation is that the

402
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: context was him bragging about how influential he was in

403
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 2: Israeli politics, and he's using that just to look at

404
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: how influential I am here. That's why Trump has got

405
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 2: to be so stressed about my connection with you and

406
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: lay up at night. And this was like again, very

407
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: close to the time that he ends up being arrested,

408
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: in prison and then dead. So one other subplot story

409
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: of this, though, is that one of the emails that

410
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: the mainstream press did reproduce, they messed up. It's said

411
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 2: in it Ahood like Ahood Brock, and they messed up

412
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: the transcribing that and they put it as chud So

413
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: instead of Ehud. Multiple news outlets put h ud So,

414
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: which totally buries the context of what this was all about.

415
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 2: Was that intentional or not, I don't know, you guys

416
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: can be the judge of that. But very interesting accidental

417
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: oversight here from the mainstream media, which has still continued

418
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: to treat that Epstein ties to Israel like some anti

419
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: Semitic conspiracy, even though it's all like documented and reported.

420
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: I do want to give a shout out to the

421
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: Podsave bros.

422
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: Who recently shouted out that's you know, after Tommy Veder

423
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 3: claimed previously that it was a conspiracy.

424
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: Oh Diddy, Yeah, yeah, I.

425
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: Mean it's one of these where all of these people,

426
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 3: I get it, okay, to them, it seems icky because

427
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: it all bubbled up on the bad side of the

428
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: Internet and with bad right wingers like look, you know,

429
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 3: many of us were not speaking out of our ass.

430
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 3: The trail of the evidence was actually all there for

431
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: anybody who wanted to see. It's been there since about

432
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. And it doesn't just rely singularly on

433
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 3: the alex Acosta quote, like if we look at the

434
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 3: weapons background and the koshogi's and who all of that

435
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 3: he was working with and who he was interested in

436
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 3: and broadly his own connections. Is the fact that he

437
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 3: went to Israel while he was signing his non prosecution agreement.

438
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: It was all there, okay, it was it was out

439
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: in the open, and they never wanted to acknowledge it

440
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: at this point with the drop site report, it's like

441
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 3: gun dusted in terms of how connected he was to

442
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 3: the state of Israel.

443
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: But they just can't get there.

444
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 3: And this kind of reminds me the Cuomo thing you

445
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: just said with Larry Summers on the merits Summers should

446
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: be nowhere because of who we were, Like his own,

447
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: like the sex with Epstein stuff is kind of secondary

448
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: and for some reason, like with Coomo, everyone was like, oh, well,

449
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 3: his me too investigation.

450
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: That's why it's like, no, the.

451
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: Nursing home thing alone was enough to say, how can

452
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: we possibly.

453
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: Ever trust your judgment?

454
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: I think that the reason why there's been a lot

455
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 3: of like capital D Democrats who are interested in the

456
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 3: stories because I see like it attacks Trump and you know,

457
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: they don't care about Larry Summers or Bill Clinton at

458
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 3: this point, not should you, but guys like that is

459
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 3: kind of the secondary element of it.

460
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Now.

461
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 3: The reason why like any sort of blackmail or any

462
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 3: of that matters from Trump to Clinton to any of

463
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 3: these other people in power is because of the foreign

464
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: leverage with these governments that he was working with. That's

465
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 3: what makes it actionable and actually, you know, impactful in

466
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 3: terms of beyond money or you know, the JP Morgan chase,

467
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: but brokering governments and leaders and security agreements, like that's

468
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: what puts it in the realm of the public interest,

469
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: in my mind, is not just that connection. And so

470
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 3: I do think, you know, kind of like with JFK

471
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: or any of these other stories, where I think it's

472
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 3: easy to sit there and dissect magic bullet, but I

473
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 3: think it becomes more interesting to zoom out and.

474
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: Be like, Okay, so why did they kill him?

475
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 8: Right?

476
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's like it's not just about the plot

477
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: was pursuing that were such a Cuba But.

478
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: My opinion was all about Cuba.

479
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 9: Right.

480
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: I know there's all Israel secondary part of the JFK stuff.

481
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: I haven't seen enough to back that up, but in

482
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: my opinion, it was mostly about Cuba and then eventually

483
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 3: became an ideological like sphere that morphed into Vietnam.

484
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: That's why Oliver Stone.

485
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: Is obsessed with that because he had to go fight

486
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 3: in Vietnam when he was eighteen years old, and his

487
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 3: entire life was like, you know, impacted by that, and

488
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 3: he became obsessed with that question and it is I mean,

489
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 3: he described it as one of the most impactful turning

490
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 3: points in American history. He's correct about that. You have

491
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 3: to go and to look at the consequences. I think

492
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: same in here. So I think one of the things

493
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: for all of us is we can't let this part

494
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 3: of the story die.

495
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: You really can't.

496
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: Like it's such it's so important, you know, to make

497
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 3: so that some media cannot try to spin this in

498
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 3: the direction that they want, because it's also to their benefit.

499
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: Where I've seen this mainstream media thing which is starting

500
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 3: to catch on now, which is like, oh, well there

501
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: was no big sex blackmail story. I'm like, well, it's again.

502
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 3: I've always said, it's not about that, per se. It's

503
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 3: really about the network and the stuff that he was

504
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 3: able to get away with and then leveraging those connections

505
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: to money and to power on behalf of multiple foreign governments,

506
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 3: including yes.

507
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: The state of Israel. Like that's what it's actually about.

508
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: So that's my.

509
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean we have to, like you

510
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 2: have to be blind at this point not to put

511
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: some of the puzzle pieces together. Trump, I think we

512
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: can say definitively now, is very concerned about whatever Glaine

513
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: Maxwell could say. Right so clearly he would have thought

514
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: that Jeffrey Epstein knows at least whatever Ghlaine Maxwell knows,

515
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: and he would I mean, he was close friends with

516
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: this man. He knew the level of connections that he had.

517
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 2: He would have known about the globe trotting and known

518
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 2: about all of these influential people's people and governments that

519
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: he was connected to. Like I think at this point,

520
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: it would be incredibly naive to not think that Trump

521
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: believed Epstein had things on him that would be very,

522
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: very damaging, if not fatal, to his political career. And

523
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: you do have this email from Epstein to Steve Bannon,

524
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: again one of Trump's closest confidants, very soon before he

525
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: ends up in prison, saying, now you can understand why

526
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: Trump wakes up in the middle of the night's sweating

527
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: when he hears you and I are friends and listen, guys,

528
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: you also have to say, it is in Trump's first

529
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 2: administration that Epstein ends up dead. So this is the

530
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: sort of communication that's going on. Steve Bannon reportedly said

531
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 2: before Epstein he thought was the one person who could

532
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 2: take down Donald Trump. Epstein ends up in prison and

533
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: then dead under the first Trump administration, and now his

534
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: accomplice Glene Maxwell is getting club fed treatment down with

535
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 2: her puppy and she's like, you know, the warden's her bitch.

536
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 2: She can make him do whatever she wants to do.

537
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: I mean, this is crazy shit, guys, So open your eyes.

538
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: Nothing is definitively proven, but open your eyes to the

539
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 2: picture that has emerged at this point, and you know

540
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: it's I would say that it is an incredibly important

541
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 2: line of inquiry to understand how this impacts today, Not

542
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: what did Trump do in the past. How does this

543
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: impact Donald Trump and his conduct of foreign policy today

544
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 2: right now?

545
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: That is the most important question with.

546
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 10: All of us.

547
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: It's just so disgusting and yeah, I mean it's one

548
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: of those where this is what again people they don't

549
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: want to zoom in, like the point is is it's

550
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: about Trump. It's also it's been going on for twenty

551
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: thirty years, like who wants to know, right with Israel

552
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: and all these other foreign governments, for all of these leaders.

553
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: I mean, god, I.

554
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 3: Mean, don't forget the British ambassador to the UN the

555
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: United States of America was fired because of the Epstein connection.

556
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 4: That's right.

557
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: He literally do you remember in the email he said, Oh,

558
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: it's a travesty of justice. What's happened to you? He said,

559
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: it was unjust that he was convicted.

560
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 4: Back in two thousand and six.

561
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: We all just met the Prince, Prince Andrew, the sketchy

562
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: of justice.

563
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was in the other direction.

564
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: Prince Andrew just got stripped of all his royal titles.

565
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: And of course there's people are like, oh, it's all

566
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: a witch hun I'm like, yeah, maybe the king knows

567
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 3: a little bit something that you and I don't know.

568
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe that's what it is.

569
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 3: Just happened to think that, not to mention the Prince Andrew,

570
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 3: or I guess Andrew, we can now call him out

571
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 3: Andrew mount Batten. Andrew mount Batten has all these sketchy

572
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: financial dealings, you know, with his wife and leveraging his

573
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 3: It all fits together for what purpose we don't one

574
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 3: hundred percent know yet. So I'm looking forward to some

575
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 3: of the future releases, regardless of what they cover up,

576
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 3: because in information, there's always power.

577
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: Let's go to the last story here.

578
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: This is a five. This is about quote. Democrats are

579
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: going to come to regret this. After epstein Boat Trump

580
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: is ready to attack. So Trump now has directed the

581
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: DOJ to open an investigation to all the Democrats who

582
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 3: are named in the Epstein files. Fine, we've made fans cool,

583
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: all right, let's get it out into court.

584
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: There is some concern though, that by citing.

585
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: An active DOJ investigation that they will actually be able

586
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: to cover up some of the Epstein stuff in terms

587
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 3: of redactions. However, don't forget that even at the end

588
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: of prosecution that you will still be able to eventually

589
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: get access to them within this. But it could be

590
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 3: a delaying tactic regardless though. I mean, as we're our

591
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 3: last block is about James Comey. When you have to

592
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 3: file stuff in court, you'll learn a lot of stuff,

593
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 3: learn a lot. And that's something that's not been to

594
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: the benefit of the Trump administration and multiple different occasions.

595
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: So I'm looking forward to this no matter what comes

596
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: of it, because we will learn quite a bit.

597
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he wants to flip it and make it.

598
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: I mean, his language is though this is just all

599
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: about Democrats. There are no Republicans implicated, and I just

600
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 2: think like we're so far past people seeing it through

601
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: that lens that it's ridiculous. And you know, I even

602
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: wonder if he really follows through on all of the

603
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: you know, all of the bluster that he has here,

604
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: because we're going to talk about the Stacey Plasket thing.

605
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: We covered that before. Obviously we covered Larry Summers, et cetera.

606
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: Republicans really seem to think like Democrats are like desperate

607
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: to protect Bill Clinton at this point, like it's fa

608
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 2: like it's okay whatever comes on about him, We're not

609
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 2: all that panicked about it. So I have a feeling

610
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 2: he's going to have a hard time really going on

611
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 2: the offense on this thing after spending so much time

612
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: and continuing with an active cover up of any potential,

613
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 2: you know, negative or damning or even just suggestive implications

614
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: for him himself.

615
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: You were absolutely correct.

616
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 3: Speaking then of Stacey Plasket and the corrupt dealings going

617
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: on in the House of Representatives, the People's House, our

618
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: great representatives, the founders conceived of the great civilian legislators

619
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: who would rise up among its constituents come to Washington.

620
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: To work on our behalf.

621
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: And after this Democratic representative from the US Virgin Islands

622
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 3: was caught literally live texting Jeffrey Epstein in the House

623
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 3: of Representatives in the middle of a meeting. Her defense

624
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 3: is I was simply texting with my constituent, and that

625
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 3: has now been embraced by her colleagues to help cover

626
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 3: her up.

627
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen.

628
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 7: I believe that Jeffrey Epstein had information, and I was

629
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 7: going to get information to get at the truth. Having

630
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 7: a friendship with him is not something that I would

631
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 7: deem to have if individuals are not involved in illegal activity,

632
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 7: extending his criminal enterprise or his financial enterprise, or all

633
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 7: of those things, I think that we need to look

634
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 7: at what people are doing moving forward.

635
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 4: Wait, let me just better understand that. What is that point?

636
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: Because at the time he was an sex offender and

637
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 2: it had been detailed all the sexual if there are.

638
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 7: A lot of people who have done a lot of crimes.

639
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 4: Her text with that Jeffrey Epstein were not illegal, but

640
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 4: in your view, were they appropriate?

641
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 7: Well, Stacey Plaski is not accused of violating any House rule,

642
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 7: any law, any statute.

643
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 11: And without even going to the ethics Committee, much less

644
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 11: a court, they want to arraign her on some charges

645
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 11: based on a newspaper article that she did something lawful,

646
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 11: however ill advised it may have been. She took a

647
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 11: phone call from one of her constituents. Is his position

648
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 11: that anytime Jeffrey Epstein got somebody on the phone, and

649
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 11: you got a lot of people on the phone, that

650
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 11: person is suddenly guilty. That sounds like guilt by association.

651
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 11: That sounds like collective.

652
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: Guilt, collective guilt guilt by I'm like, yeah, yes again,

653
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: Am I just the only guy who won't meet with

654
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 3: convicted sex offenders for real?

655
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 10: Though?

656
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: Like you know, it's I don't get it. These politicians,

657
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: all these other people.

658
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: Also, you know, when you meet politicians, especially the ones

659
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: where I it's not some like the it's not usually

660
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 3: broker by the Paul and the other person.

661
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: There's usually a bunch of staff involved.

662
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 3: They do background checks or at least cursory Google searches

663
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: on the people that you're ostensibly supposed to be meeting with.

664
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 3: By the way, he has her phone number, and did

665
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: you did you hear her defense? A lot of people

666
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: are convicted of crimes like what.

667
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: I mean, what just is one of these where it's

668
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 2: like you just got to come clean, you say, listen,

669
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: he was incredibly influential on the Virgin Islands.

670
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 4: I mean that's the truth.

671
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was one of my rich richest constituents.

672
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: Probably they're richest constituent, certainly one of and there were

673
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: incredible like it was incredibly interconnected between the political class

674
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: the Virgin Islands and Jeffrey Epstein and so you know,

675
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: I mean I think she could say that, and then

676
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 2: she could say and you know, because of his long

677
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 2: dealings with Trump, I thought he might have something interesting. Okay,

678
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: I get that, but like to pretend like the other

679
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: thing is she said this thing about, oh, we weren't friends,

680
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 2: but the text messages are extremely friendly. He's telling her

681
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: how great she looks up there, and you know, she's like, oh,

682
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: hurry up, I've got I'm up next. You got to

683
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 2: give me something, etc. Like the tenor of the text

684
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: messages is that this was not their only exchange by far,

685
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: and that they were actually very friendly. So you know,

686
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: I think at this point you just have to say,

687
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: this was a horrible lapse in judgment. But I was

688
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 2: just trying to get some information that would be useful

689
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: because I knew his long relationship with Trump et cetera.

690
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: And apologize and move on. But for her to continue

691
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: to double down and then for her colleagues to come

692
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 2: to her rescue, like this is really pretty appalling.

693
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. And you know why we started with

694
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: that is just to.

695
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 3: Give you, all of you into how this great town

696
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: of our works is that there were supposed to be

697
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 3: a censure of her and of GOP Congressman Corey Mills,

698
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: who we will also get to here in a little

699
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 3: bit for his own disgusting behavior unbelievable. And what ended

700
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 3: up happening is a little handshake among friends where the

701
00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: House Republican leadership met with the Democratic leadership and they go, look,

702
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 3: we won't go after your guy if you don't go

703
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 3: after our guy. And they all shook hands, and we

704
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 3: just had a couple of cocktails at the at the

705
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 3: Capitol Hill Club. They say, by partisans, you cover for

706
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: our girl, I will cover for your boy.

707
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 9: Right.

708
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: That's that's what it's all about, folks.

709
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: It's just all about making sure we just sweep it

710
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: under the rug and we all just continue like friends

711
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 3: as normal. And Anna Paulina Luna GOP congress women, actually

712
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: revealed some of this on the floor at the House

713
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 3: of Representatives.

714
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: Putting it all into view. Here's what she had to say.

715
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 10: For what purpose does agenerlated in Florida sake recognition.

716
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: I have a parliamentary inquiry generlated in Florida will state

717
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 2: her inquiry.

718
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 12: I was wondering if the Speaker of the House of

719
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 12: Representatives can explain why leadership on both sides, both Democrat

720
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 12: and Republican, are cutting back end deals to cover up

721
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 12: public corruption in the House of Representatives from both Republican

722
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 12: and Democrat members of Congress.

723
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 6: The General Lady has not stated to popular a proper

724
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 6: parliamentary inquiry very much.

725
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 12: But I think the American people know what happened tonight.

726
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 3: So we go through Corey Mills. You guys want to

727
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 3: know about him. Let's go and put this one next

728
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: one up here on the screen. I mean you got

729
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 3: to go read through this. The United States files restraining

730
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: order against Corey Miller.

731
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: Do you want to go through some of the.

732
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, I mean buckle up.

733
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 2: So this guy basically is discussing abusive creep allegedly and

734
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: also incredibly corrupt with his international armstealing business. So first

735
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 2: way that he came to the public's attention as a

736
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: potential abusive asshole was there was a police call from

737
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: his girlfriend here in d C. Initially alleging domestic violence. Now,

738
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 2: when the police showed up, she had bruises, but she

739
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: recanted her story. Okay, Apparently after that hit the news,

740
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: his other girlfriends down in Florida. She a former Miss

741
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 2: USA pageant queen. She sees that he's having this relationship

742
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: in DC and is like, dude, were supposed to be together,

743
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: what the hell and breaks up with him. He continues,

744
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: allegedly to harass her for months, threatening her, threatening her

745
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 2: new new boyfriend, threatening also to release explicit images that

746
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: have been shared in the context of their relationship, and

747
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 2: lo and behold dropsite our friends.

748
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 4: Over a drop site. Of course did the first report.

749
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: They were the first ones to get their hands on

750
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: these text messages that he was just relentlessly sending to

751
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: her and truly disgusting and incredibly threatening things. And so

752
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 2: she filed ended up filing restraining order. That restraining order

753
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 2: was granted, so he is not allowed to contact her,

754
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 2: not allowed to be anywhere around her. So the judge

755
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 2: found it credible enough. And you know, it's a relatively

756
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 2: significant bar actually to me, to you know, get a

757
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: judge to believe that you're sort of like imminent danger

758
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: of harm.

759
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: So that's who this dude is.

760
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 2: Then, in addition to that abusive, harassing, stalking behavior over months.

761
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 2: In addition to that, he also is accused of corrupt

762
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: dealings with this you know, his arms dealing business where

763
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: he has government contracts in spite of the fact that

764
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 2: he is himself a member of Congress. So there's also

765
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: a lot of questions about that. There also were questions

766
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: of potentially him misrepresenting his military service and stolen valorno.

767
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: He denies all of these claims, etc. So this is

768
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: all alleged, but he's he's really the total package. This

769
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: guy just a great, great, honest man, seemingly and delight

770
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: to be around on every level. In the context of

771
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 2: reporting this out, Dropsite spoke to a number of his

772
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: former romantic partners and by the way, this guy was

773
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: married up until just a couple of years ago too.

774
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 2: By the way, anyway, they spoke to a number of

775
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 2: his romantic partners, and two of them separately described him,

776
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: like independently as a psychopath. So, just so we're aware

777
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 2: of who we're dealing with and who Democrats agreed in

778
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 2: this corrupt deal and Republicans agreed in this corrupt deal

779
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 2: to cover up for.

780
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.

781
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: And you know, like you said, there is the allegations

782
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 3: against him for federal contracting, there are the stolen valor

783
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 3: actually allegations that have been levied against him, and there's

784
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 3: this allegation about misconduct dating violence.

785
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 1: Let's go just you guys want a little.

786
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: Preview before shall we into who these great legislators are.

787
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a screenshot.

788
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: So this is this is messages with the DC girlfriends

789
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: who called the cops for assault and then recantadi his story.

790
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: And this is where he is effectively pimping him her

791
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: out to one of his friends, allegedly, and he says,

792
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: and you'll be a good girl and do anything he

793
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 2: wants or asks.

794
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 4: Of course, I aim to please.

795
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 2: She says, he can have you as many times as

796
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 2: he wants, any way he wants, and finish anywhere he chooses. Rite, babe,

797
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 2: yes baby, and what can you not do? Won't say

798
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 2: no to anything Chris wants, yes babe, and drop site

799
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 2: reporter on this as well. That actually the male friend

800
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 2: that was in this was like disgusted by him pimping

801
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: out his girlfriend in this manner. So listen, adults can

802
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: do whatever consensual etc. But we're talking about someone who's

803
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 2: accused of assault, who's accused of stalking, who's accused of

804
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 2: harassment over months, had to have a restraining order issued,

805
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: and that is the person that they're covering up for.

806
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: He denies it.

807
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 3: I guess even though the read.

808
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: The message gleamed the videos that he was threatening to

809
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: release of her were baking.

810
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: Were her baking cookies?

811
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 1: Makes sense?

812
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: Judge didn't buy it.

813
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 3: Do you you make up your mind for yourself, shall you?

814
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: Uh so?

815
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what our great representatives came together this week

816
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: to cover up to Stevie Plaskett, who was texting Jeffrey

817
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: Epsteine live in the middle of a hearing. She says,

818
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 3: a lot of people are convicted of crimes. He's just

819
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 3: one of my constituents, Jamie Raskin and Jakim Jeffries Basically

820
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 3: then do a deal with the Republicans where both don't

821
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 3: get to be censured. And so I just think, you know,

822
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: if you really want to see how it all works,

823
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 3: who gets protected?

824
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 2: But Rashida to leive she got censured for saying from

825
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,919
Speaker 2: the River to the Sea, Palestine, let's you free.

826
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 3: It's one of those where I don't know. I very rarely,

827
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: genuinely feel like sick to my stomach. And I'm not naive.

828
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 3: I've lived here for a long time. I get it

829
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: a stuff that all goes behind the scenes, but when

830
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: you all breaks out into the open, and the way

831
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: that they just nakedly cover up for one another. And again,

832
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: these are supposed to be our representatives, and this is

833
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 3: what they're spending their time, not only doing on our

834
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: dime whenever they're here in Washington, this is what they're

835
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 3: doing to preserve each other's party reputation because at the

836
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 3: end of the day, that's all that really matters to them.

837
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: It's disgusting.

838
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 3: So let's go to another one because this also just

839
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: demonstrates the kind of you know, the criminality and the

840
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 3: narcissism that dominates at the highest levels of American politics.

841
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and put B five up here on

842
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: the screen. Been wanting to cover this for quite a

843
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 3: long time. So there was this recent retirement of a congressman,

844
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 3: Representative Chewey Garcia. He timed his retirement this month in

845
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 3: a way that advantaged his chosen successor. This eventually led

846
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 3: to a potential rebuke from his own representatives Democrats in

847
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 3: the House of Representatives. It was a reprimand it doesn't

848
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 3: carry any formal penalty. But what happened is he announced

849
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 3: his retirement this month one day after the filing deadline

850
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,720
Speaker 3: for candidates had closed. That way, his chief of staff

851
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 3: was the only candidate who knew about his retirement had

852
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: enough time to collect twenty five hundred signatures to run

853
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 3: for the seat. So basically boxed out the ability of

854
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: anybody to be able to actually open and run. And

855
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: this is supposed to be some progressive who believes in democracy. Okay,

856
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 3: it's like all they care about is themselves is passing

857
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 3: the torch chosen. They don't give a shit about the voters.

858
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 3: It's completely rigged. And what's so discussed about it is

859
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 3: that when you know, I can never say this one's

860
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: name is glusen Camp. When blusen Camp Perez, this congresswoman

861
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: where she's from Washington, tries his censor, she gets like

862
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 3: blown up by the Democratic Party establishment, by the way,

863
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: including a lot of progressives and others who were like, oh,

864
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: this is the improper way to go. Why can we

865
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 3: not cover, like just call this out for what it is.

866
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 3: This is a type of crap that happens every single

867
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 3: day all over you know, in DC and the way

868
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: they rig the rules and the petitions and ballot signature challenging.

869
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 3: But this is one of the most overt that I

870
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 3: had ever seen. He claimed he was retiring abruptly because

871
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 3: of his wife's declining health, but he gave a heads

872
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 3: up to his chief of staff so that they could

873
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: take the seat. And if you were, you know, that

874
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 3: person who lives in this district, like, you should feel outraged,

875
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 3: you should feel betrayed. This is the state of Illinois,

876
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 3: which is a machine state. And you know, in his defense,

877
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: he's probably like, yeah, people do this shit all the time, right,

878
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 3: what's wrong with that? Well, you know what's wrong with

879
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 3: it is we are supposed to live in an ostensible

880
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: democracy and again and this.

881
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 2: Is the party that's supposed to care about exactly for

882
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 2: sea as well. And you know, I think I think

883
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 2: a lot of progressives like Chewey Garcias or generally voted

884
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 2: in a progressive manner. I think he had a lot

885
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 2: of has a lot of friends in the caucus, so

886
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 2: they sort of felt bad on a personal level. But

887
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: it's like put that you got to put that aside.

888
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: You know, you got to Okay, you can say, like

889
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 2: I like his legislative record, but this was unacceptable there

890
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 2: that's not that hard to do. And one of the

891
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: people who gave a long, elaborate explanation for why she

892
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 2: opposed Marie Gluesen camp Perez. By the way, I'm not

893
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 2: a fan of Marie Gluesen Camprez, but on this one,

894
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 2: on the merits, she's just correct. But AOC put out

895
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 2: this long, tortured tweet about why she thinks was this

896
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 2: wrong move at the wrong time? Just to give I'll

897
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: give her rationale. It can put this up on the screen,

898
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 2: she says, this is how I feel about it. Oh

899
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 2: my gosh, this is acman length. Guys, buckle up. I

900
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: love machine politics and got to office Deviana Incumban who

901
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 2: got in that way. However, there are quite a few

902
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: problems with choosing to grind the entire House to halt,

903
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: to force all four hundred thirty five members across the

904
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: country to do a rush vote on this one individual

905
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: instance of many. Mind you one, why is it that

906
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: this objection wasn't brought up until now? The author I

907
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 2: had no problem when Bill Posey did it or even

908
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 2: earlier this year when a member's account was tweeting post

909
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: mortem for an election. The standard of this resolution is

910
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: unevenly applied, and choosing to enforce it by privileged resolution

911
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 2: for some but others does open legitimate questions of rationale

912
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 2: or motivation. Why not care about this for them? But

913
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: care about it now? The question has not been answered? Okay, Well,

914
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 2: maybe we start the trend of caring about this now.

915
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: That would be a positive, wouldn't it?

916
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: Okay?

917
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 4: Number two?

918
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 2: This is why the Ethics Committee exists. Establishing this process

919
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,879
Speaker 2: as precedent will mean all four hundred and thirty five

920
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 2: members of the House will be forced to vote on

921
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: a slough of individual member indiscretions determined by political convenience

922
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 2: or whoever's in the majority. I don't think it's the

923
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 2: best use of my constituents time to sort through the

924
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 2: details of every individual matter of a person acting out

925
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 2: of accordance with the esteem the office once a week

926
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: for a four vote under rush circumstances. The House has

927
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 2: an investigatory structure of this for a reason. If there

928
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 2: was a complete file with ethics ortain investigation barrier and

929
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 2: then ignored, I'd understand that's not the case here. Three,

930
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 2: these specific kinds of resolutions can only be executed on

931
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 2: on a partisan basis because the mechanism of seeking privilege

932
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 2: on this can only move forward with GOP leadership's blessing.

933
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: That means partisan enforcement. I do not want to open

934
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 2: the door to that. Make it nonpartisan or don't bother.

935
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 2: That's why the Ethics Committee is structured the way it is.

936
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: For this resolution was dropped on a fly out day

937
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,439
Speaker 2: to begin voting on a fly in on a fly

938
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 2: in day, giving people no time to review the details

939
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 2: of the matter while they're home in district on a weekend,

940
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 2: on a matter of local politics that nobody had familiarity with.

941
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: It's really, that's so not true. We had familiarity with it.

942
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: It's not hard to understand this was not a complicated situation.

943
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 4: In any case.

944
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 2: People are genuinely not familiar with the details of the

945
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: surprise vote because this is the kind of thing brought

946
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 2: to Ethics precisely to investigate and confirm details. So a

947
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 2: bunch of like process related concerns about, oh, well, we

948
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 2: have this other committee that's supposed to handle this, and

949
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 2: this wasn't the time or the place even though I

950
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: totally low the machine politics. But I don't even really

951
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 2: know about this anyway. I mean it just I think

952
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: it all just rings very hollow ultimately, Like on the merits,

953
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: what he did was wrong?

954
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 4: Why is that so hard to say?

955
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: Like, Okay, maybe you don't like that this is always

956
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: the process going forward and probably won't be. But would

957
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 2: it be such a bad thing if you did have

958
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: the precedent set that when people hand pick their successors

959
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: and rig the primary process to guarantee that their hand

960
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 2: picked successor is effectively the next congress person for the district.

961
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a terrible precedent to set that

962
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: you vote on those things and you express your disapproval

963
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 2: as a body that this is not the way democracy

964
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 2: is supposed to work.

965
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the process. Shit, it's maddening. Just like, first

966
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: of all, who are you? Are you missprocessed? You know,

967
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 3: you supposedly stood up against machine politics and all of that,

968
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 3: or do you stand for representation? And then like that's

969
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 3: what it's all about, right, That's what it's supposed to be,

970
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 3: And so you've become the creature which you allegedly ran against.

971
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 3: I ran against me it's like, Okay, now you're taking

972
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 3: part in the exact same thing. Actually, it would be

973
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 3: a phenomenal precedent to always censure anybody who ever did

974
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 3: anything like this.

975
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: That's literally that would be one of the best things.

976
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: It would be something that allegedly again, you know, you Democrats,

977
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 3: they talk so much about democracy. And this is one

978
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 3: of the reasons in my belief that the whole jan

979
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 3: six attack on Trump didn't work is they were like, well,

980
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 3: you guys didn't even have a primary. You guys covered

981
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 3: up Biden. So we're supposed to lecture listen to you

982
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: on lectures about democracy. No, we don't. We don't believe

983
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 3: that you believe in democracy at all. That was a

984
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 3: huge critique. And then look, is everybody in America going

985
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: to hear about this stuff?

986
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: No, I don't think so. But it's enough.

987
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 3: It's enough of a signal that protecting the party is

988
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 3: the only thing that matters still to a lot of

989
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 3: these people. And you know, anything process oriented just bullshit

990
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 3: in my opinion, because that's what the establishment does have.

991
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: When they've lost on something, then they critique on the process.

992
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: That's what they do.

993
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed.

994
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 3: Turning down to AI so I did update all of

995
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 3: you that in the new you know, funding structure for

996
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: the government, the Republicans were trying to insert some language

997
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 3: of regulating states, making sure that they are not allowed

998
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,439
Speaker 3: to regulate AI. Well, now this has become a full

999
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,840
Speaker 3: fledged fight from the Trump administration and it was especially

1000
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 3: had gasoline poured on the fire after Jensen Wang, Elon Musk,

1001
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 3: Greg Brockman from Open AI all were at the White

1002
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 3: House for the Saudi State dinner and the three of

1003
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 3: them apparently met with Donald Trump and are continuing to

1004
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 3: push this ban on states from being able to regulate AI.

1005
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 3: There is a new report, let's put this up here

1006
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 3: on the screen from the information that the Trump administration

1007
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 3: is working on an executive order to try to foil

1008
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 3: state AI regulation. This comes on the heels of Trump

1009
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 3: himself actually putting out a truth to this effect again

1010
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 3: after meeting with all of these AI executives. You can

1011
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 3: see from the truth he says investment AI is helping

1012
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 3: to make the US economy the hottest in the world.

1013
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 3: Over regulation by states is threatening to undermine this growth engine.

1014
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 3: Some states are even trying to embed the ideology into

1015
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 3: AI models, producing WOKEI remember Black, George Washington, we must

1016
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 3: have one federal standard instead of a patchwork of fifty

1017
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 3: state regulatory regimes. We can do this in a way

1018
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 3: that protects children and prevents censorship. So obviously a lot

1019
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 3: of this is being pushed hard by the AI companies,

1020
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: specifically because they do not want individual states where they

1021
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: have to comply with different regulation. Of course, you know,

1022
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 3: it's definitely to their benefit, And I think this is

1023
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 3: the whole ballgame because when you see like the state

1024
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,320
Speaker 3: of California, obviously, where all of these people are headquartered,

1025
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 3: that's what they're actually terrified about, is safety standards and

1026
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 3: others that would require them to comply in a certain way.

1027
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 3: But I think more broadly, this is really about control

1028
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 3: because these people want to become gods.

1029
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: They say it out in the open.

1030
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 3: Dario literally says, none of you are going to work

1031
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 3: in five years. Elon very recently. What did he say

1032
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 3: is like all of you are going to be phenomenally

1033
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 3: rich and very happy. I mean, it's the World Economic

1034
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 3: Forum meme. You will own nothing and you will be happy.

1035
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 3: We promise you'll be rich.

1036
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: Wink wing. Yeah, we don't have plans for that, but

1037
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: we promise yeah, we.

1038
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 3: Promised, fine, you will be rich, and we're like, okay, cool.

1039
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 3: You know, why should I take your word for it exactly?

1040
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 3: And I do want to give, honestly a good amount

1041
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 3: of credit. There are some states, even Republican states, that

1042
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 3: are standing up. But first, let's listen to Trump himself

1043
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 3: on the issue.

1044
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: See one. Please, let's take a listen.

1045
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 10: We will work closely with friends and partners like those

1046
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,439
Speaker 10: in this room to build the largest, most powerful, most

1047
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 10: innovative AI ecosystem in the world. And we are going

1048
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 10: to work it so that you'll have a one approval process,

1049
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 10: not have to go through fifty states in the United States.

1050
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 10: You know, you can't go through fifty states. You have

1051
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 10: to get one approval. Fifty states is a disaster because

1052
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 10: you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do

1053
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 10: all woke. You'll be back into the woke business. We

1054
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 10: don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal.

1055
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 10: But you'll have a couple of wokesters, and we don't

1056
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 10: want to do that. We want to get the AI done.

1057
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 3: A bunch of wokesters in charge over there of AI.

1058
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 3: I mean, look, listen, I'm not gonna say woke AI

1059
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 3: or whatever of that is not a issue. But I

1060
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: think it actually is one of those things that belies

1061
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 3: the problem, which is yeah, because they get to program

1062
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 3: whatever they want, including political and cultural ideology, into the AI,

1063
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 3: and that has massive effects for everything. So yeah, not

1064
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 3: just culture, race, but oh suicide. The one that I'm

1065
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 3: hands down the most concerned about, pornography, sports betting.

1066
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: I told you all this shit is coming. It's already here.

1067
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 3: The Microsoft Copilot literally is running ads on the NFL

1068
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 3: network and be like, Microsoft Copilot will help you do

1069
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 3: your fantasy team, which is a wink wink to sports

1070
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 3: the most degenerate behavior. That's all they're trying to do

1071
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 3: is to make it just even more addictive, make it

1072
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:58,280
Speaker 3: integral and essential. And that's why it does need regulation.

1073
00:49:58,560 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 3: And if the States are the only people are going

1074
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 3: to stand up for it, good, you know, that's a

1075
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 3: good thing. Yeah, because look, I mean, if this is

1076
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 3: all moving so quickly, with so much money, and the

1077
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 3: ambition for control has never been more overstated by leaders

1078
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 3: of an industrial revolution, literally never, even if you look back,

1079
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 3: you know, to the origins. A lot of the times,

1080
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 3: the people who were in charge even of the railroads

1081
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 3: or the factories, any of that stuff.

1082
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: They were always trying to pitch it.

1083
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 3: Yes, is good for themselves, but they're like, look at

1084
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 3: all this benefit to humanity. I don't even think that

1085
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 3: they try this time for any of the benefits that

1086
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 3: are supposedly there. It's pretty out in the open. They

1087
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 3: want to become trillionaires. Literally, they want to become transhumanists,

1088
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 3: and their plan is to put everybody out of work

1089
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,919
Speaker 3: and to roll up the riches of the nation into

1090
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 3: their cells.

1091
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, they The only reason they really have to

1092
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:51,879
Speaker 2: put up with us now is two things. First of all,

1093
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 2: they need workers, and second of all, they need people.

1094
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 4: To buy stuff.

1095
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 2: But already, and Ryan was pointing this out, like the

1096
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 2: consumer economy is so skewed towards the wealthy that they

1097
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 2: barely needed most of the population just to keep the

1098
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: consumer economy going. They want to make you irrelevant. I mean,

1099
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 2: this is the main event of Trump administration two point zero.

1100
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on, there's a lot that's consequential.

1101
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's not. This is the main event.

1102
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 2: This is what you need to keep your eye on,

1103
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: because this is truly like they're going for complete and

1104
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: total control in a way that has never been possible

1105
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 2: before in human history. How do you think it's going

1106
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: to go for democracy or for society at large? If

1107
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 2: you have one of these companies achieve superhuman intelligence and

1108
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: be able to truly get rid of most of the workforce,

1109
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: how do you think this is all going to go?

1110
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 2: Think of the level of control right now we're talking

1111
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 2: about like before the show started, if you ask Grok

1112
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 2: who is more fit, Elon Musk or Lebron, James groc

1113
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 2: will tell you Elon Musk is more physically fit than Lebron.

1114
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 2: And that is like literally you can go and look

1115
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 2: right now at the answers that.

1116
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 4: It will give you.

1117
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is the level of megalomania, and we're

1118
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 2: going to hand this incredible power, like global power and

1119
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 2: control to this handful or you know, single individual totally psychotic.

1120
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 4: This is insane.

1121
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 2: And so Trump he was on the ropes, you know,

1122
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: he was being sued and he had all these criminal

1123
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 2: cases against him. He wanted to get back in the

1124
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 2: White House to make all of his problems go away.

1125
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 2: He changed his position in a number of things. He

1126
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 2: threw fully in with the tech oligarchs, who you know.

1127
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 2: There's a there's an idea that these tech brotypes were

1128
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 2: more on the Democratic Party side, and I think, like

1129
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 2: socially liberally that's true. Especially in the Obama era, there

1130
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 2: was a real close symbiosis. They let all their mergers

1131
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: go through, et cetera. But they have deeply authoritarian instincts.

1132
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,959
Speaker 2: They're like move fast and break things ethos. That means

1133
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 2: they don't they don't think there should be any democratic

1134
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 2: checks on what they're all out to do. So even

1135
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 2: though the Trump tech world marriage was kind of an

1136
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 2: odd fit to begin with, it makes sense when you

1137
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 2: consider a guy who has zero respect for norms, institutions, traditions,

1138
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 2: et cetera, and who is an authoritarian with a tech

1139
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 2: world which is similarly egotistical and think that they should

1140
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 2: be able to rule everything and run everything and have

1141
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 2: absolutely no checks. And so you had this coming together

1142
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,800
Speaker 2: in this Trump administration, In this Trump campaign, Elon of

1143
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,440
Speaker 2: k course gave more than two hundred and fifty million dollars.

1144
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: You had them involved in picking JD. Vance as a

1145
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 2: vice president. Peter Tiel has always been very influential bringing

1146
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 2: all these people together the inauguration, they're all there you

1147
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 2: see these repeated dinners where they're there, they're sucking up

1148
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 2: to Trump like this is the main event of the

1149
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: Trump administration. And so I think, you know, I would

1150
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: not be surprised at all if he passes he signs

1151
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 2: an executive order that says we're going to sue you.

1152
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 4: Our Justice Department is going to sue you if you

1153
00:53:58,400 --> 00:53:58,799
Speaker 4: try to.

1154
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 2: Rain this in even a little bit, because every single

1155
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 2: move he's made is to just completely unleash this thing

1156
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 2: and hope for the best. And Trump doesn't give a

1157
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:10,839
Speaker 2: shit about anything or anyone. He's happy to suck up

1158
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 2: his crypto riches and let his oligarch friends do whatever

1159
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 2: the hell they want. And he does not give a

1160
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 2: shit about whether or not you have a job in

1161
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 2: the future, about even whether human societies sor you know,

1162
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 2: lasts beyond his life, which is a genuine question if

1163
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: we continue in this direction. So I think, you know,

1164
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 2: from the immediate effects in terms of what it does

1165
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 2: to all of our brains and the sort of you know,

1166
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 2: the degenerate behavior as Sager describes it, I think those

1167
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 2: are genuine concerns to the way it's already spiking our

1168
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 2: electric bills way it's destroying water systems, the way it's

1169
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 2: degrading our environment. To the medium to longer term, we

1170
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 2: already see the job loss kicking in to the more

1171
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 2: existential threats of what this means for our democracy and

1172
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 2: for human civilization all together. We need to come together

1173
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 2: and fight against this with everything we have. We need

1174
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 2: people who are like across the aisle, cross partisan, cross

1175
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 2: ideological coalition who care about the future of humanity and

1176
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 2: want to put some checks on these people because they

1177
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 2: are absolutely out of control.

1178
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean the way they sell it is like, well,

1179
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 3: we got to beat China and all of that, and

1180
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 3: it's like, look, and I recently said this. I did

1181
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 3: a podcast with the Bloomberg guys over at odd Lots

1182
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 3: because they asked me about that, and I said, the

1183
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 3: technology is not the same thing as the companies, right,

1184
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 3: because the point around this, let's say, in terms of

1185
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 3: our objection, is specifically about the monopolization and the control

1186
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 3: by single individuals. And yes, I know it's a meme

1187
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 3: that I only care about sports betting a week, To

1188
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 3: be honest, the one that I care about the most

1189
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 3: is mental health. Is suicide is though when I read

1190
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 3: those transcripts of those kids who are interacting with chat

1191
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 3: ept and being like, hey, you know about advising about

1192
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 3: how to hang himself with nooses and notes that combined.

1193
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,799
Speaker 3: Emily sent us a study yesterday about how short term

1194
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 3: for short term video consumption has nuked cognition. If you

1195
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 3: have a society which is urascinated through vice which I

1196
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 3: focus on through, which is illiterate or functionally illiterate and

1197
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 3: not doesn't know how to think for itself, which increasing

1198
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 3: the short short form video content consumption, and outsourcing knowledge

1199
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 3: to chatch ept. Put those together, you are basically a

1200
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 3: meat sack vessel who is using opiates of some kind

1201
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 3: you know, in order to numb your pain, and then

1202
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 3: outsourcing all of your thinking to this like godlike machine

1203
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 3: which has no qualms about validating where you're at, try

1204
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 3: not trying to help you, and can encourage you to

1205
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 3: kill yourself. Oh and by the way, that includes states

1206
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 3: where there is assisted suicide, which Sam Altman literally said,

1207
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 3: if it's legal, yes, we would direct you.

1208
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: I cannot think of anything more.

1209
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 3: Dystopian like the suicide thing and the mental health stuff,

1210
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 3: the pornography again, I mean think about it.

1211
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 4: Like this, not surveillance too. I sterarily talk about.

1212
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 3: So you take a society, you pump them full of

1213
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 3: weed and alcohol and gambling and make it so that

1214
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 3: socialization itself is bad. And then you create this chatbot

1215
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 3: which will fulfill all of your fantasies to make sure

1216
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 3: that you never leave what do you think is gonna happen?

1217
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 1: Right?

1218
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the stuff that I'm the most ten

1219
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: fifteen times more worried about than anything else. And the

1220
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 3: sick part is it's good for their business because it

1221
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 3: means that you're gonna sit there and you're just gonna

1222
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 3: keep typing and typing, and it's going to be the

1223
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 3: most I mean already people are addicted to their phones now,

1224
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 3: make you know, romantic relationships into that it's bad. And yeah,

1225
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 3: like that is where the concern about regulation and democratic

1226
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 3: input and making sure that you know, Sam Altman isn't

1227
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 3: the only person or Elon or any of these other.

1228
00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: People they're trying to cannot allow these people to do it.

1229
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 2: They're trying to colonize our minds, even to an even

1230
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 2: greater scent than they already have, trying to colonize our

1231
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:55,960
Speaker 2: minds and strip us of our genuine humanity. Like, I mean,

1232
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 2: that's what like the capitalist class has always sort of

1233
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 2: seen us just as like meet sack and widgets to

1234
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,280
Speaker 2: plug into their business as and how they see fit.

1235
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 2: But with this technology that becomes increasingly possible where they

1236
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: can just render us they don't have to care about

1237
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 2: us at all, they can just render us irrelevant completely.

1238
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, when Elon we're all going to be so rich,

1239
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think I would take them

1240
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 2: at face value with that. Go look at it Elon's

1241
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 2: history of how his promises. Ultimately we're how to Doge?

1242
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 2: Go tell me about that one. How much money did

1243
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 2: we save in Doge? How did that work out? I mean,

1244
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 2: this man, whatever, all of them are, none of them.

1245
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 2: There's no human on the planet that should be trusted

1246
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 2: with this level of power. More Perfect Union has been

1247
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 2: doing really great on the ground reporting about the impact

1248
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,080
Speaker 2: of these data centers and also the community pushback against

1249
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 2: these data centers.

1250
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 4: And I think this is a.

1251
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 2: Very important part of this fight because it's the part

1252
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 2: that's the most visible in people's communities. The rest of it,

1253
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 2: the chatbots, the videos where it's sort of insidious, right, Like,

1254
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 2: it's not that different from just being able to google stuff.

1255
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 2: I think parents a lot of times don't really understand

1256
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 2: the way that kids might be using Chat, GPT or

1257
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 2: rock or other lms. So it's a little bit more

1258
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 2: sort of under the radar, whereas the data centers are

1259
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 2: incredibly visible. They're having this big immediate impact in communities.

1260
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 2: They're having this big immediate impact on people's electric bills.

1261
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 2: So I think it's a very very important part of

1262
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 2: the fight. They recently did a video about the impacts

1263
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 2: of one of these data centers. This is the two

1264
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and listen to this.

1265
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 1: I grew up here and I wanted my kids to

1266
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: be able to do the same. And we welcome Meta,

1267
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: which opened a data center in our town.

1268
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 8: We were behind in eighteen old or once and it

1269
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 8: backed up and we almost got killed. My eye had

1270
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 8: to go mouth those people out. She'll say, Nedda's stapend.

1271
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: She just doesn't like it, and I don't work it.

1272
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 8: We've been there for like Sincella's alive and pups.

1273
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 11: A live, so I don't really like.

1274
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 9: That we're going to have to move.

1275
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 13: We went to Hollyridge, Louisiana, where Meta's New Manhattan sized

1276
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 13: data center is being built. Meta's new ads claim these

1277
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 13: communities welcome data centers, but residents painted a very different picture.

1278
00:59:55,880 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 9: We had no vote on it, no community mat no nothing.

1279
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 9: It was done all under the table, and when was

1280
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 9: said and done, it was nothing nobody could do.

1281
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 1: You're planning to leave. I've been here eighty one years.

1282
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 5: I can't stay here with nobody outn't talked to.

1283
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 6: My mom has been out here in all her life,

1284
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 6: eighty two years.

1285
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 10: She's really not happy about it, but does want to

1286
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 10: leave too.

1287
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: Do you think they care about the people that live here?

1288
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 4: No, I sure don't.

1289
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 13: Residents emphasized the increased traffic violence for Metas trucks. I

1290
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 13: dug through police reports and found a six hundred percent

1291
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 13: increase in vehicle crashes on the road surrounding Metas construction

1292
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 13: site in the last nine months.

1293
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 11: The playground at the front of the school, they're not

1294
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 11: letting y'all play on that, right.

1295
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 8: META trucks don't watch y'all. If they try to stop,

1296
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 8: they will They're wrecked into the gate. And that's why

1297
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 8: they're saying we shouldn't go out there and all that,

1298
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 8: because it's too many wrecks and meta trucks and they

1299
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:56,959
Speaker 8: could crash.

1300
01:00:57,200 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 4: I really loved that playground.

1301
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Wish you could play there.

1302
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 4: Yes.

1303
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 13: Residents also shared their distrust in the quality of their

1304
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 13: water and the lack of support from elected officials to

1305
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 13: address it.

1306
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 9: My neighbor was washing my clothes and that's not a

1307
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 9: whole load of white because they come out from that

1308
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 9: brown water.

1309
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: Do you feel like it's safe to drink?

1310
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 6: No? Well that one.

1311
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Have you heard anything about them addressing.

1312
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 4: That they No?

1313
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 13: No, have you got any information about the project that

1314
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 13: offered anybody?

1315
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: None at all except on the internet and on my face.

1316
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 2: But the data center is the size of Manhattan, and

1317
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: these you know, tech companies have so much money to

1318
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 2: throw around. I mean talk about the influence of money

1319
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 2: in politics, like that's why these things are going up

1320
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,960
Speaker 2: everywhere with very little from the politicians pushed back, but

1321
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 2: at the ground level in the communities. And I say

1322
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 2: this living in a community that is having a number

1323
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: of battles over these data centers myself, there is a

1324
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 2: huge level of pushback. More perfect unions in another video

1325
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 2: that I really encourage you in partnership with them. Hey,

1326
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 2: John Russell on Mingo County, West Virginia one of the

1327
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 2: poorest counties in the entire country. Former coal I mean,

1328
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 2: still cold country, but obviously a lot of the coal

1329
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 2: jobs have gone away, economically devastated, and the political officials

1330
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 2: decided at the state level really to locate this data

1331
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 2: center there. And you have a bunch of residents who

1332
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 2: are furious about it, but their governor and their legislators,

1333
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 2: you know, in West Virginia, pass a law limiting the amount.

1334
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 4: Of local control that you even have.

1335
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 2: So even if your community doesn't want this data center there,

1336
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 2: they can just come over the top and put it

1337
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 2: there against your wishes. So I think, like I said,

1338
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 2: I think this is a very important part of the

1339
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 2: fight because it's so visible and there's so much pushback

1340
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 2: across the board. Whether you're on the left or the right,

1341
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 2: there are reasons to hate these things going in your town.

1342
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: One hundred percent.

1343
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 3: And like I said, I want to give a shout

1344
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 3: out to some governors, including some who I'm personally beeping

1345
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 3: with at the moment. Let's go ahead and put this

1346
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 3: up here on the screen. Listen, you know I'm a

1347
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 3: straight shooter whenever it comes to these Ron DeSantis actually

1348
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 3: is speaking out he's saying, stripping states of jurisdiction to

1349
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 3: regulate AI is a subsidy to big tech and prevent

1350
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 3: states from protecting against online censorship of political speech, predatory

1351
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 3: applications of target children, violations of IP rights, data center,

1352
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 3: intrusions on power and water resources. The rise of AI's

1353
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 3: the most significant economic cultural shift occurring at the moment.

1354
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 3: Denying the people the ability to channel these technologies in

1355
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 3: a productive way via self government constitutes federal government overreach

1356
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 3: and less technology companies run wild.

1357
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 1: Not acceptable. Agreed endorse Go to the next one.

1358
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 3: Please, This is from Governor Spencer Cox over at Utah,

1359
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 3: says Governor de Santus is correct.

1360
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: States must be able.

1361
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 3: To regulate the tools of AI that could severally impact

1362
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 3: our kids, our families, our constitutional rights, our security. We've

1363
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 3: already made the mistake of allowing social media companies to

1364
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 3: destroy our children's mental health to our country part let's

1365
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 3: not do it again. And so last one C six

1366
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 3: just to show you, I mean this is bipartisan and

1367
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 3: it's all over the place. Some of the most popular

1368
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 3: states in the country, Pennsylvania lawmakers bipartisan coalition are outraged

1369
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 3: at the federal attempt to prevent states from regulating AI.

1370
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 3: So I expect some of the states to rise up

1371
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 3: and to try, but if Trump does sign.

1372
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: An executive order, there will be a lot of litigation.

1373
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Will continue to track the story.
