WEBVTT - George Conway & Lt. Gov Peggy Flanagan 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:04.160 Hi, I'm Molly john Fast and this is Fast Politics, 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:07.120 where we discussed the top political headlines with some of 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:13.520 today's best minds. And according to an AP NORC poll, 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:18.279 Trump has lost thirteen points of approval among Republicans in 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.600 the last six months. We have such a great show 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.800 for you today. The Society of the Rule of Laws 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:31.280 George Conway stops by to talk about the Oversight Committee 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.640 drops with Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Then we'll talk 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:40.000 to the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan about her 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.120 run for the Senate. But first the news. 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:46.040 So, Molly, it appears after the Democrats have had a 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.040 news cycle where they've been told they are not fighters, 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:53.239 that the House stems are going to try to remedy 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:54.320 this with a plan. 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:55.920 I want to expladre to our listeners. 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.200 I always want to explain to our listeners. Let us 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.720 explain the plan. Basically, a guy called Mike Johnson this 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.000 sweagure of the House. So really, Trump is the Speaker 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.200 of the House. As he has said before, he sent 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.520 everyone home because he did not want to have them 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.479 voting on the Epstein petition. Well, the government shut down. 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:20.039 Johnson refused to swear in ad Alita Grajava. She will 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.560 now be sworn in. She will be the signature needed 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.640 for the discharge petition. Now, I want to pause for 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:29.280 a minute because what's going to happen now is there 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.920 will be a discharge petition. It will then go to 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.080 the Senate. This is part of this thing where you 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.319 have to just you're getting Republicans to vote on things, 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.760 so they say we want your inferency, and then you 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.080 get them to vote to say no, do not release 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.360 the Epstein files. So this is the point of this exercise. 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:49.160 But right now what we're seeing is a ton of 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:55.320 Epstein emails being just flooded into the media. Now, where 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.320 are they coming from. This has nothing to do with 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.920 this discharge petition. The estate was subpoena by Rocana, so 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.920 that's how these emails are coming. But the point is 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.280 there are just a ton of emails. There are more 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.760 and more and more emails, and that's what we're seeing now. 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.600 The discharge petition will go to the Senate. The Senate 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.359 will vote against releasing it because Republicans control the Senate. 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.560 I think that is where this ends. But you still 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.440 are making them vote against it. You're still taking them 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.440 on the record. These are people who said they believed 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.440 in transparency, and here they are not believing in transparency, 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:33.440 So this is all meaningful. I also want to point 0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.200 out the fact that this has become such an enormous 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:39.240 news cycle is because the people who are leading the 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:42.480 committee on oversight are pretty smart and they are making 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.400 sure that the stuff is out when it needs to 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:48.639 be out. For example, this stuff came out today right 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.480 the day of the discharge petition signing or the day 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.680 you know that they're going to get back into work 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:58.440 in the House. And the reason why it came out 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.400 today was because every but he was organized. So bravo 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:07.120 Robert Garcia for doing oversight right. And you really do 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.840 see why it's important to have people in those jobs 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.320 and not just people who feel they deserve them because 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:14.360 they've worked there so long. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.560 Do you have a favorite one of the leaks so far? 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:18.520 No, I don't have favorites because the whole thing is 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.760 so dark and it's about sex trafficking. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.240 My favorite is what Jeffrey Epstein says, have the mask 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.240 by housebed about Donald almost walking through the door, leaving 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:31.640 his noseprint on the glass as young women were swimming 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.120 by the pool and he was so focused he walked 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:35.160 straight into the door. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.320 Yeah, that was a bad one. There are a lot 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.920 of bad ones here. I mean there's also the Trump 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.800 knew what we were doing. There's I mean, it's just 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.040 it's everything you would think. It's Michael wolf giving Jeff 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.520 Epp advice. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.600 So shocking Michael wolf. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.800 Somebody else tipping off Jeff Epp. 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.720 I mean, Michael Wolfe a little too close to Jeffrey 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.280 Epstein for anyone's comfort. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.240 Yeah, I mean, I just think the job of journalists 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.120 is not to tip off sources. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.120 Okay, the job of journalists may not to be to 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.400 try to buy whole news outlets with pedophiles. 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:11.920 Yeah. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.320 There are a number of reasons why this is not okay. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.400 So I got really confused. We talked about this on 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.000 air that when Trump was going to Portland. A lot 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.400 of even my conservative friends were like, there's these riots here, 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.159 And then I talked to normal people and they were like, 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.080 there are no riots. We have now gotten to the 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.039 bottom of this, which is that Fox News and other 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.080 conservatives like Andy Neo, we're putting up old footage and 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.680 footage from other cities pretending it was Portland. 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:46.800 Yeah, and again this is like this news bubble thing, right, Like, 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.479 are you in such a news bubble that you never 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.599 even realize what's true or not? Like, what's the news 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.960 bubble here? It's so bubbly that you're looking at video 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:01.440 from four years ago, five years ago. I think it's 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.280 like worth realizing that here is Donald Trump. This is 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.920 a person who, as president, has access to some of 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:14.279 the best information. Every single thing you know, vetted explained, 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.000 you could have, you know, you're the president, you could 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.800 call the journalists, they come in and explain it to you. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:24.520 And here is my man, Donald Trump looking at an 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:28.360 Andy no video from five years ago. Yeah, he's making 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:29.680 policy off that. 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:30.920 You're exactly right. 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.440 And it's really that Andy Dios said his brand has 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.520 died because Antifa does not really exist. It is an 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.640 amorphous thing that maybe a few people will identify with. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:40.680 It's ridiculous. 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:41.920 Speak for yourself. 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.919 Oh oh I forgot, I forgot. So by what do 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.680 you think at the president's job? I personally think of that. 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:51.600 A lot of people used to describe it in the 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.719 pre Trump era as kind of the salesman for America, 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.880 the ambassador who would say, our country is so great, 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.480 you guys should really do business here. Look at how 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.720 great we have it here. Well, Trump says, the United 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.680 States doesn't have people with quote unquote certain talents to 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:07.840 fill jobs domestically. 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.680 Yeah, you know who got one of these visas? 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:12.520 Was it Malania? 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.240 Yes, Mulania, Mlania's recipient of one of those visas. You've 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:19.080 got to bring people in from other countries because Americans 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.840 don't want those jobs. She had an HB one. It's 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:25.880 an Einstein visa skilled worker. Look again, this was never 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.960 about immigration. This was always about racism, right, Like, if 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.520 you take them at their word, you make a huge mistake. 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.599 This is from this amazing interview with Laura Ingram where 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.360 she says, is this stuff from home depot? And he says, 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.960 absolutely not. And you have these goal hideous gold things 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:46.920 on the sides of the oval which are clearly from 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:51.280 home depot. But this Laura Ingram, who not a fan 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.680 of immigration, to say the least, at least or anything. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:00.400 She responded, we have plenty of talented people here, Trump applied. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.240 And remember Trump is always trying to serve these like 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:09.120 billionaire donors. So Trump replied, no, you don't, No, you don't, 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.520 you don't have certain talents and people have to learn. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.840 You can't take people off an unemployment line and say 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.720 imy to put you in a factory where we're going 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.720 to make missiles. And then he pointed to the September 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:25.360 Ice ray of a Georgia Hondai facility where authorities arrested 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:28.080 and deported hundreds of South Koreans. That was like an 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.160 international incident. I just want to point out it's the 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:31.760 worm gooing. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.600 Yes, I know, but you. 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.520 Know billions of dollars in investment from the South Koreans. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.680 Then their people got put in jail. That's still going that. 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.200 I don't know what the status is. It was a 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:50.160 real disaster for Brian Kemp, who had just convinced Hondai 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.920 to put the factory in Georgia. Again, these were like 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.320 good paying jobs. If you have tariffs to try to 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.120 get things manufactured in the United States and then you 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.880 put the people who are making the things in jail 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:09.000 or deport them, then you are going to make people 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:11.680 not want to make things in the United States. That's 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:12.920 just my hottest take. 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.520 It seems pretty summed. So I have a hot take. 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:20.240 Yes, that Ice and any police officers when we know 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:24.600 that they're out of absolute control and really are being careless. 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.040 It's when a baby gets pepper sprayed. 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.440 That is a very, very hot take. 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:30.800 I'm going to stand by it. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.360 How many times has a baby gotten pepper sprayed? I 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.800 feel like that's a sentence I would like to never say. 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.520 My sister did studies on how often toddlers shoot people, 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.920 so I think, unfortunately we're not quite at the rock 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.520 bottom with us, but worse things do happen. 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.400 So Ice pepper sprayed a baby. I think that should 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.239 be the end of the story. These people are animals, 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.720 like I think every day they want to make the 0:08:55.280 --> 0:09:00.160 phrase abolish ice more and more real. By the way, 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.679 this is a video of the agent's pepper spray of baby, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:08.520 so probably there have been other babies pepper spray like 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.560 the fact that this was caught on video means that 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.440 there have been other times. Is a one year old 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.920 in Chicago, then I know you'll be shocked to hear this. 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.480 But the Ice agent lied about it. 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.000 I've never heard of cops lying when there's footage of things, 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.240 and because they know that they can act with the pudity, 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:29.079 especially ice. 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:30.079 Me neither. 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:38.559 I have never heard of such a thing. George Conway 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.640 is the president of the Society for the Rule of 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.760 Law and the host of George Conway explains it all 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:48.480 to Sarah Longwell, welcome to Beat Politics, George Conway sitting 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:49.240 in my apartment. 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.640 Hello, Yeah, this solves the problem of shitty internet access. 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.360 So today is one of the many. 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.559 It's not the first Epstein drop day. These are kind 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:01.040 of a big one. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.280 It's a humongous one though, you know. And and this 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.560 just a tranche of emails after emails, after emails, after emails. 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.040 I only saw the first three because I was busy 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.920 at meetings with her. More there are like Trump knew 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:14.760 about all of. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.160 This email My favorite email was the one I first 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.000 saw this morning. I'm not favorite, but it's like the 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.240 one that's sort of like it was like a smoking gun, 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.480 the closest thing he was smoking gun without pictures, although 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.920 they were I did see an email later talking about 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.040 the Yeah, was the one that said Trump is the 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.840 dog that didn't bite, because basically he had not been 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.680 the subject of the investigation. And then he is saying 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.880 it didn't bark, talking about you didn't bite bark. 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:38.800 Okay, sorry, he's. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.640 Like so and that she says it says it to 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.840 Gleane Maxwell basically, but he was he was in with 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.640 in my house with so and so it turns out 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:49.760 to be Virginia. 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.319 Yeah, it's got to be virgin We don't know one 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.040 of the one in younger because it says and they 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.480 got her from mar Laga, which is Virginia jew Fry, 0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.680 just the only her. Yeah, I mean that's what it's. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.240 Anyway, he was alone, he was in Epstein's house with 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.520 a girl name redacted. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.680 And then Gal says, ye know, I was thinking about 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:13.160 that too. 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.880 Yeah, and you know, I mean, come on, were they 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.359 there talking about tariffs? 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.760 They were not talking about it. I do not think 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:21.880 they were talking about tariffs. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.199 I don't think so. I do not think that. I 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:25.640 gotta say, I mean, this is like this. 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.200 I said, I said this morning that this is like 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.880 Remember how Ben Bradley, the man it used to be 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.440 the managing editor or something in the Washington Post back 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.800 in the day, in the Watergate days, he would always 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.000 tell us reporters, we need holy shit stories, the stories 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.560 and make you read and open the papers say holy shit, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.400 this is a holy shit story of a different sort. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.560 This is a holy shit Times one thousand story. But 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:57.280 it's also not surprising, no, exactly, because we know who 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.720 Donald Trump is and this is who he is. And 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.320 the only reason why is it's a holy shit story 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.400 is because you know, for years of millions of Americans 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.679 have gone twice twice. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.600 Well, okay, I did the first time. I'm sorry. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.240 You know, they think we can't hear anything about him 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:22.320 in the complete denial, and they pretend everything is not real, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:24.480 and they only turn on news sources that don't tell 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:25.920 them about the Donald Trump. 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.480 But it's not surprising at all. 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.240 It's only surprising if you've been doing that, and you know, 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.240 I think they're probably going to be still be doing that. 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:33.960 That's the real question of people really going to pay 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.760 attention who have who have been in denial about Trump 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.120 and have this cognitive dissonance about Trump, and I don't know. 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:45.600 I mean, the thing that gets me about these emails is, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:49.040 first of all, Trump knows he's in them, right, he. 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:54.760 Must have known, right, and and what's his face, Todd Blanche, 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:55.360 his lawyer. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.680 Everybody knows he's in them because the FBI went through them. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:02.120 But even before that, well, this is a separate this, this, 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:05.480 this is this was subpoena exactly from the estate. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.400 But I was assumed that the that the government had this. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.440 Right, and the government we know from that reporting that 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:15.640 the FBI went through what a thousand guys reacting Trump's. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:16.679 Name looking for this right. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:21.199 So even but even before this, like Trump and BONDI 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.440 were like, we're going to release the Epstein files. 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:24.920 We're going to do this, We're going to do that. 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:28.600 How do you have that level of cognitive dissonance, like 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.840 where you're like, I hung out with this guy, my 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.599 best friend for a decade, release the files. 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:43.480 Like, you know, Donald Trump doesn't think very well, and 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:49.679 he doesn't He's very good thinking in the moment, right, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:56.320 but he's not really good about actions and consequences, which 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.760 is why he's a criminal, right and convicted criminal in fact, 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.840 and an adjudicated digital rapist. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:05.240 He doesn't he just one of these people. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.600 He's just one of these people who's whose psychological growth 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:13.480 stopped at age three, four or five. And he just 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.640 you know, I mean, you just and he doesn't understand 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:21.360 that his actions can cause negative consequences to himself. If 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.600 he does these things and negative consequences occur to him, 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.360 he doesn't blame himself. He blames you, him, her, these 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.400 other people, right, and says that, oh, everybody else does this, 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.040 so I can lie about it because everybody else lies 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:38.760 about it, and he doesn't. He says that, you know, 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.680 in his head, you know, it's of course, you know 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.280 he didn't. He didn't think this through, right. 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.040 But what about BONDI, Like Pam Bondy, she had all 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.280 those influencers come to the White House. 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:51.600 You know, gave them binders. 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.720 I mean, I hate to say this about the Attorney 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.680 General in the United States, but it just may be 0:14:58.800 --> 0:14:59.600 that Pam Bondi. 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:05.440 It's a war on it could be. I mean, I 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:06.560 don't want to I don't want to go out on 0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:07.200 a limb here. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.840 This morning, I was reading the cash Battel private jet 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:14.040 story from the Washington Post, which is about Cash Battel 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:18.040 using the FBI jet basically as you know, just living 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:22.200 it up and also ruining investigations and tweeting about them. 0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.880 Yeah, speaks about investigations, say we are we are investigating this, 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:27.320 and then the people skip the country. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.520 Because I say, hey, wait, yeah that's us.

Do 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.680 you think I think something's happened over the last couple 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.120 of weeks where it's gone from maybe not the last 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.800 couple of weeks, but yeah, I think since the election, 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.960 it's gone from this is all really scary and we're 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.480 going to end up in an autocracy to oh, it's Trump, Well, 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.920 you know he's The incompetence is back. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.400 The incompetence is back. 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:26.320 And also people are learning that they are not alone 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.680 in fighting back, and they learned that from the No 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.000 King's events, and they learn that from the election results. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.760 And that's why even I who you know who, you 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.000 know how I am. I'm not the most pessimistic person 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.480 in the world, but I've been saying it's always going 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:46.360 to get worse before it gets better, even I you know, 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.640 there's a there's a skip in my step, you know. 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.160 But the thing is, it will still get worse before 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.720 it gets better, because this does not remove him from office, now, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.560 you know, I mean even though we have people like 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:03.080 Bobert and and he's voting for this in Marjorie Taylor 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.800 me signing this discharge position petition which now is to 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.320 eighteen is that to eighteen once? 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.320 This once this congressman, I think she got sworn in today, right, Yeah, 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.480 but it dies in the Senate. I mean, the thing is, 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.760 but it's but it's make But the point is. 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.760 Yes, it makes them vote, and it shows that there 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.360 are cracks in the facade, but it's not gonna it's 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.440 not going to be to do all and end all, 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:28.600 and we're still stuck with him for the duration. Yes, 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:30.080 And do you ever see the movie. 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.720 Wagon the Doll.

And he did it 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.320 anyway and it didn't work out so well. They get 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.000 themselves into deep ship and the problem is they ultimate 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:02.520 we blow themselves up. I say this, I've said this 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.199 podcast fifty times. They blow themselves up. And the problem 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:09.120 is the blast radius. Are we going to be within 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.000 the blast radius? And this is you know, I mean, 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:14.640 he's done so much damage. Yeah, in just a few months. 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:19.520 The blast radius is already large. And as he becomes 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.360 more desperate, you know, it's it's going to get worse 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.000 and we have to prepare ourselves and we really need 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:29.480 to stand up more.

And none 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.000 of it's going to be consistent, and it's all just 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:52.199 going to be a bunch of noise.
