1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: The Iranian president is dead. We'll talk about that tonight. 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Economic matters. Julie Kelly is here with law fair stuff, 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: all that and more coming up. But I'm right, Okay, 4 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: So the president of Iran died and no one really 5 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: understands the region. They have a president, they have a 6 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: supreme leader. The supreme leader did not die, by the way, 7 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: but the president did die. Apparently a helicopter crashed and 8 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: the mountains they couldn't get to him. Maybe wolves aid him. 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. That part of the story is really cool. 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: I doubt it's true, but it would be freaking sweet 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: if it was. Anyway, we need to make sense of 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: all this. What does it mean? Who done it? So 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: on and so forth? So I don't know. I bet 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: your Francis does, though. Let's talk to Francis Bart Martel 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: right now, Bright Bart News International Editor. Okay, Francis, who 16 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: was this guy? Why did he die? How did he die? 17 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: Was it the Israelis? 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: Well, you know, the. 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: Interesting thing is the Iranians having to accused the Israelis, 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 3: which is the first thing I expected. 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 2: Them to do, and they did it. So. 22 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 3: Ibrahim Reisi was the president of Iran since twenty twenty one, 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 3: had a very long, storied career of butchery, of mass murdering, 24 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 3: political dissidence when he was a prosecutor approving executions, and 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 3: as president. 26 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: I think the single highlight of. 27 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 3: His presidential career was the Masamini incident and the subsequent protests. 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: Masamini was a twenty two year old woman who was 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 3: beaten to death because her hit job was slightly wrong, 30 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 3: and there were protests. 31 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: This was September twenty twenty two. 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 3: There were protests for a good year and a half 33 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: after that. The UN says over five hundred people were 34 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: killed under him just because of Masamini, not counting other 35 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: executions and protests. 36 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: So very brutal guy. 37 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: And all we know about the airplane or the helicopter 38 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: really is that he was traveling from Azerbaijan back into Iran. 39 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: Whether it was foggy inclement, it's not. 40 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: Really clear why they let him fly and the helicopter crash, 41 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 3: and then yesterday we were told it was a quote 42 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 3: unquote hard landing, and then everyone then today we wake 43 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 3: up and everyone died because of the hard landing. 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: So a lot of questions still still out there. 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess hard can mean different things to different people. 46 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: It must have been very, very hard. Okay, So what 47 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: does this do with Iran's political situation? As you just mentioned, 48 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: every time you turn on the news, there's some protests 49 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: over there, and then the scumbags who run that country 50 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: are killing everybody who's protesting in the streets. Are they 51 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: going to want to take to the streets and cheer? 52 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: Are they even allowed to cheer? Are there going to 53 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: be new elections? And how fair are those going to be? 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: What happens now, Well, they're already handing out candies. There's 55 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: already videos. 56 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: Of fireworks and kron people handing out candies and sweets. 57 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: The Iranians are celebrating any basically, any Iranian with any 58 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: platform has said this is a good thing. 59 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 2: The real question here, though, is with these were they're 60 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: so deeply entrenched. 61 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 3: Getting rid of one guy is not going to really 62 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: change anything, and especially when you have the Supreme Leader, 63 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: Ayatole Homoni. 64 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: He's still there. 65 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: He's probably not going to be there for too long 66 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 3: because you know, he's eighty something, but he's still in charge, 67 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: and so rice he's probably going to be replaced by 68 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 3: another trusted official. It's going to be really hard to 69 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 3: find someone with a record this bad of killing dissidents, 70 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 3: someone this bloody to replace him, unless they go completely 71 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: unprecedented and pick someone in the military to do it. 72 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 2: But I don't think that's going to happen. 73 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: I think they're going to find a quiet bureaucrat to 74 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: take over until. 75 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: It all boils over, and then they're going to review 76 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: their roster. 77 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: And see, you know, who's the best to helm Iran 78 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: at this really difficult time for the regime. 79 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: Okay, So why is it a difficult time in the regime, 80 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: Francis just because this guy died? Or are they having 81 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: real difficulty hanging power. It's been well known for the 82 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: longest time that the Iranian people are quite unhappy. Are 83 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: they Are they hanging on by a string over there? 84 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: I think they are. 85 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: But you know, the biggest saving grace is that there 86 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 3: is no organized led opposition. There's no opposition leader who's 87 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: charismatic and trying to take over the government. Obviously the 88 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: opposition is not armed. So we've seen a lot of instances. 89 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 3: You know, in China, there's been protests for years in China, 90 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: there's been protests for years. 91 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: In Cuba. 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: Basically all these regimes have the same situation where the 93 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 3: majority of the public hates them, but they have no 94 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: way because of the repression. They have no way of 95 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 3: arming themselves or organizing. So the big issue here, I 96 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 3: think is more of an internal game of thrones thing 97 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: where we don't know exactly who within the remaining top 98 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: level of officials is going to want the presidency, whether 99 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 3: they're going to fight each other. And then there's all 100 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: this external pressure because of the post October seventh scenario. 101 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 3: You know, moss is very directly funded by Iran. Iran 102 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 3: is the leading voice for global terrorism and for genocide 103 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 3: against Israel, and that's that's a big crown to wear, 104 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 3: you know, a dark one, but a big one. And 105 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 3: so if you have your top officials kind of buying 106 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 3: for power and more invested in that than in the 107 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 3: unity of the global giatist movement, you're gonna have problems. 108 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, You're gonna have freaking problems. Okay, let's switch gears 109 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: a little bit here, Francis, while I have you putin 110 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: and g met last week. I'm worried. How worried should 111 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: I be? 112 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: I think it's business as usual. 113 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 3: But the biggest concern for me is, this was all business, 114 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: this was all economic. We know that China and Russia 115 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: are geopolitically very close, but what they're basically trying to 116 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: do is to create a parallel economic universe where the 117 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: US dollar doesn't matter, and they really are advancing on 118 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: that front, you know. 119 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: I think Putin said over. 120 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: Ninety percent of business between China and Russia has done 121 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 3: in either yon or rubles, and so if the dollar 122 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 3: loses its power, obviously that's a. 123 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: Huge concern for US for our economy. 124 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: But also geopolitically, what does that mean for the entire 125 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 3: concept of sanction? 126 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: Right? 127 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 2: If you can impose sanctions. 128 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: On these countries for how whatever reason you want to, 129 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 3: and they have no effect because they have this parallel 130 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: set of institutions, then you're gonna have a much harder 131 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 3: time driving your foreign policy agenda, as you know, a 132 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: country in the West. 133 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: Francis, I have a very hard time picturing Vladimir Putin 134 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: as the little brother in any relationship. But economically, there 135 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: is no comparison between a nation like China and a 136 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: nation like Russia. I realize China has many of their 137 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: own problems as well, but what is this relationship like. 138 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 3: Well, I think a big issue here is that China 139 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 3: is by far the bigger economy, but China has a 140 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 3: very big weakness, which is it has no oil and 141 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: it can refine, but it can't refine as much as 142 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,679 Speaker 3: it needs. And obviously there's tremendous demand for oil in China, 143 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: and so China's trying to break through that by dominating 144 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: electric vehicle batteries, solar panels, all the green stuff. But 145 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: that's never going to be enough, or you know, at 146 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: least not in the near future, to undo the fact 147 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: that they have no oil. 148 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: And not really much natural gas. 149 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: And so that's where Russia can come in, and if 150 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 3: they don't, you know, in a way, Russia has this 151 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: dominant position economically of they have oil, they have gas, 152 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: and so they can provide the one big missing link, 153 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: but they can't provide much else. Right, the Russian economy 154 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: is pretty slow geopolitically, you know, Russia is its alliances 155 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 3: are with very weak countries. It's closest allies are you know, 156 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: Knee Air and Cuba and Burkina Fasoul like those are 157 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: not the best friends you can possibly have on the 158 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: world stage. And so they are trying to compliment each other, 159 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: but obviously the tremendous advantage that China has economically is 160 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 3: always going to pass a shadow over that relationship. 161 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured it would. Francis, you are the best. 162 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: Come back soon. Thank you so much. You all right, 163 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk next about where we're at, what it's 164 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: like to watch what's happening right now. Maybe a little 165 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: bit stressful, but I think it's probably time we talk 166 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: about it. And look, if you get stressed, it's not 167 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: a problem because you're still going to sleep tonight. You 168 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: know why. I know you're still gonna sleep tonight because 169 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: you've already bought your dream powder from Beam, right. I 170 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: tell you about it all the time. Stuff is freaking amazing. 171 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: It's no drugs or anything like that. I have the 172 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 1: chocolate cinnamon one. I warm it up in a little 173 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: glass of milk and sip it before bed. It's like 174 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: cinnamon hot Chocolate's delicious. It's all natural. But you just 175 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: sleep like the dead. And here's the best part. It's 176 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: not to sleep. There's a million things you can take 177 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: to sleep. You don't wake up feeling like garbage, all 178 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: groggy and half dead. They did some clinical trial ninety 179 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: three percent of people said it helped them sleep ninety 180 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: three percent shopbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly, go get 181 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: some dream powder that gets you forty percent off. So 182 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: go now, we'll be back. Sometimes it's difficult watching what 183 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: we're watching right now, isn't it? I find it difficult, 184 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: do you. And I've talked to you about this before. 185 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: I've been very honest with you that, especially recently, probably 186 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: the last year or so, I've been taking it home 187 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: with me more than I normally do, letting it affect 188 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: my mood. Everything we're seeing happening to the country right now. 189 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: And here's how I feel, just being honest, here's how 190 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: I feel. I'm hyper informed. You are hyperinformed. We are 191 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: the people who seek out information. We want to know 192 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: who's in power, who wants power, what do they want, 193 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: why do they want it? What are the issues that matter? 194 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: How do we solve these issues? You're here watching, I'm right, 195 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: you could be watching anything right now you're watching. I'm right. 196 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: You're someone who seeks out information, so you are so 197 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: much more informed than the rest of the population, and 198 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: that sucks. Actually, I mean, I'm happy for you, good 199 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: for you, good for me. But it sucks that we're 200 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: constantly knowing what's happening, knowing what to do to solve it, 201 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: and we look around and there's no one behind us. 202 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: There's going with us. They're ten miles behind us. It's frustrating. 203 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: And here's how I feel. I feel like we're watching 204 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: it come apart on us. No, no, I'm not saying 205 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: America is going to end tomorrow. I'm not doing that 206 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: kind of doomsday stuff and really genuinely, genuinely not. But 207 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: you know, Empires rise and fall. We've talked about it 208 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: a bunch. Empires rise and Empires fall. Nothing lasts forever, 209 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: and it feels as if we're in some portion of 210 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: the fall phase, probably the beginning, who knows, maybe the middle. 211 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: Maybe we will all collapse tomorrow. But either way, we're 212 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: definitely not in the beginning. Are we certainly not in 213 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: our peak. We're we're watching it and and that suck. 214 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: I didn't even want to say it. We're watching it end. 215 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: It sucks. It hurts me, and you know what else 216 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: hurts me? And then this is probably selfish, but I'm 217 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: thinking about being blamed for all this, You me, all 218 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: of us who live in this time, you see. Have 219 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: you ever studied the Fall of Empires? Read a book 220 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: about it, listened to a documentary, watched a movie that 221 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 1: was based on, you know, the Fall, the coming apart 222 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: of Empires. You always look at the people and the 223 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: people who led the country at the time. And I 224 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: don't know about you, but I look at the people 225 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: and I want to shake them. I want to go 226 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: back in history and shake them awake and think, can't 227 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: you see what's happening? Wake up, do something? But you can't. 228 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: And as much as we yell and screen, it's difficult 229 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: to wake us up. Now. Look at look at the 230 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: things we've done to ourselves. Do you remember I want 231 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: you to remember something. Don't ever let this go. Don't 232 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: ever let this go. Do you remember social distancing? Do 233 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: you remember social distancing? Now? I know you know the term, 234 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: and I know you remember what it was, but I 235 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: want you to just pause for a moment here, and 236 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: I want you to remember all the things that resulted 237 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: from the idea, from the concept of social distancing that 238 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: we should just reorder all of society and everybody just 239 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: stands six feet apart. Social distancing was the reason you 240 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: had to close your business. The reason we lost one 241 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: third of the family businesses in this country. Bye bye, 242 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: gone forever. Social distancing. Social distancing was the justification for 243 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: closing your child's school. The reason Aideen, Jaden and Braiden 244 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: are now behind and things like reading and math is 245 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: because of the concept of social distancing. Social distancing was 246 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: the reason you had to stand on the little footprints 247 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: in the grocery store. You remember that, don't you. Social 248 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: distancing was the justification for virtually every COVID policy that 249 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: destroyed this country. Destroyed our mental health, destroyed our economy 250 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: in permanent ways we will never recover from, destroyed our youth, 251 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: destroyed so much of the country. Social distancing ANIAH director. 252 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: Former ANDIH director Francis Collins just testified that there was 253 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: no science supporting it. We re ordered all of American 254 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: society and destroyed ourselves in ways history will look back 255 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: on and they'll want to shake us awake. And we 256 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: did it over nothing. We have some of the authors 257 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: of that insane policy. Remember Scott Gottlieb. He went on 258 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: camera and flat out said, I mean, we just kind 259 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: of made it up. 260 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 4: The initial recommendation that the CDC brought to the White House, 261 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 4: and I talk about this was ten feet and a 262 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 4: political appointing in a White House said we can't recommend 263 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 4: ten feet. Nobody can measure ten feet. Its inoperable. Society 264 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 4: will shut down. So the compromise was around six. 265 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not just COVID. It's not just COVID. 266 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: COVID was a very revealing moment for me when I 267 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: watched all of America just kind of accept it. Okay, 268 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll go home. Can I have a steamy check? 269 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: What about my Netflix that's still turned on? Right? I 270 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: remember that till the day I die. I remember the insanity, 271 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: you and me sitting there screaming and everybody wake up. 272 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: But I remember it. I remember the Saint George Floyd's stuff. 273 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: Believe me, history will look back on that as well. 274 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: Some piece of trash drug dealer from Minneapolis has a 275 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: heart attack, has an overdose on drugs. That's according to 276 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: their own medical examiner. He overdoses on drugs. A cop 277 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: is doing a technique on the man at the time 278 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: that was trained into him by the Minneapolis to Police Department. 279 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: The cop is currently in prison where he'll probably die. 280 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: He's already been stabbed there once and the rest of 281 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: the United States of America in response to this, got 282 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: gas lit into torching American cities. People died, businesses, money lost, race, 283 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: relations irreparably broken in the country, and there's been no 284 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: public backlash or reckoning for the people who did it. 285 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: To this day, the President of the United States of 286 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: America feels completely comfortable standing up in front of the 287 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: American people and bragging about it. 288 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 5: I stood up for with George Lord's family, So create 289 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 5: a country. We don't need to have that talk whether 290 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 5: your son or grandson and Isaay get pulled over. Capture 291 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 5: the historic movement for justice. In the summer of twenty twenty, 292 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 5: I signed the most significant police reform executive order and history. 293 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 5: We didn't get the law passed, but guess what I 294 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 5: did it by executive order, significant partner. 295 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: There's been no public backlash. So the man whose approval 296 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: ratings are in the toilet still feels comfortable bragging about it. 297 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: And look, when we look back on the end, we 298 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: won't you and me. The historians will write the books 299 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: on it, but it won't just be you know, a 300 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: bunch of Democrats they're blaming for it. It'll be the pathetic, ineptnus. 301 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: Oftentimes the complicity of the GOP. The GOP helped author 302 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: every destructive policy we have, from COVID lockdowns to well, 303 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, you remember saying George Floyd and all the madness. 304 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: Then we have cops being assassinated. Now NYPD at its 305 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: lowest level since nineteen ninety, crime running rampant in the 306 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: big cities. All this began with the Saint George Floyd riots. 307 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: And at the beginning of the Saint George Floyd riots, 308 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: the GOP was right there cheering them. 309 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 6: All community is color and people like myself. I've told 310 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 6: my story several times, stopped seven times in one year. 311 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 6: That has been said a lot. But I stopped this 312 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 6: year driving while black when I got a warning ticket 313 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 6: for using failing to use my turn signal earlier in 314 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 6: my lane change. And so this issue continues, and that's 315 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 6: why it's so important for us to say that we 316 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 6: hear you, We're listening to your concerns. The George Floyd 317 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 6: incident certainly accelerated this conversation, and we find ourselves at 318 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 6: a place with a package that I think speaks to 319 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 6: the families that I I spoke with yesterday who lost 320 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 6: loved ones. We hear you. I think this package speaks 321 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 6: very clearly to the young person who's concerned when he 322 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 6: stopped by the law enforcement officers. 323 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: We see you man, How pathetic are we? Oh? That 324 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right. We're 325 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: gonna talk about some economic matters with Peter Saint one next. 326 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: Before we get to Peter, I want to talk to 327 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: you about the timeshare. You think you're stuck in. You're not. 328 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: You believe you are, but you're not. Timeshare companies lie. 329 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: They get you in, they don't tell you that you're 330 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: gonna be stuck in it for life, and you know, 331 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: and they let you sign all the contract paperwork, and 332 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: then some years later, after you've enjoyed yourself you're done 333 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: with it. You think you're going to give it back. 334 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: You tell them you want to give it back, and 335 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: they say, uh ah, sorry, you're in here forever. Lone 336 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: Star Transfer doesn't buy that. They're not playing that game. 337 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: This family business has been getting people out legally and 338 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: permanently out of their time shares. I mean, my goodness, 339 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: over twenty thousand of them. Now they're successful. Ninety nine 340 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: percent of the time. They put it in writing, they'll 341 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: tell you we'll get you out. They give you a 342 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: timeframe in writing. Stop calling the time share company. Stop 343 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: emailing the timeshare company. Put that away. Make a different 344 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: phone call, call loan Star transfer, let them set you free. 345 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: Eight four four three one zero two six four six. 346 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: We'll be back. 347 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 2: Our economy and people's paychecks are growing, and our nation 348 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 2: is headed in the right direction thanks to his work. 349 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: Well, that's pretty much the worst person on the face 350 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: of the planet. That is Gretchen Whitmer, known as Governor 351 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: Ratchet on this show. I'm still just sometimes it just 352 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: irks me that that woman got re elected handily in 353 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: the state of Michigan. What are you doing Michigan anyway? 354 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: Joining me now, Peter Saint Aure with the wonderful Heritage 355 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: Foundation economist Peter, So, how great is this booming economy 356 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: doing after we lock down the country and social distancing 357 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: and printed trellions of dollars and so how are we 358 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: doing now, Peter, Yeah, it's. 359 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 7: Not doing as well as you might expect. You know, 360 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 7: the government statistics look fantastic. The finance statisticians money can 361 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 7: buy or tax money anyway, and you know, we've got 362 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 7: the headline numbers, the ones that she's bragging about there, 363 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 7: Governor Ratchet. Those look fantastic, right, You've got falling inflation, 364 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 7: you've got historic lows on unemployment, you got slowing but 365 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 7: you know. 366 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: Still their GDP growth. 367 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 7: Of course, the thing is, once you dig into those numbers, 368 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 7: every single one of those things is fake. You've got 369 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 7: GDP is driven by two trillion dollars in deficits, right, 370 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 7: A lot of this is to buy white elephants. Remember 371 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 7: Cilindra back during Obama when taxpayers got fleeced. I think 372 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 7: it was two hundred million back then. Of course, the 373 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 7: number is a lot bigger now. So the so called 374 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 7: Inflation Reduction Act, which was built back better right, they 375 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 7: literally just renamed it. You can see it in the 376 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 7: Congressional log all right, So that was just a huge 377 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 7: handout to green lobbyists. That's gonna be about a trillion dollars. 378 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 7: Guarantee you there are gonna be tens of billions, if 379 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 7: not hundreds of billions that are gonna go bust. 380 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: All that on the tax payadime. 381 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 7: So that GDP number, that's not measuring us getting rich. 382 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 7: That's measuring the fleecing the rating of the treasuring and 383 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 7: handing it out to these rich lobbyists. You take the 384 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,239 Speaker 7: jobs numbers, the unemployment numbers. There, we've got over what 385 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 7: about six to seven and a half million Americans who 386 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 7: dropped out of the workforce around COVID. Either they were 387 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 7: just correct, so they went on government benefits. Government benefits 388 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 7: went up eight hundred billion dollars a year during COVID, 389 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 7: and they stayed up. Right, the pandemic is over by 390 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 7: all accounts, even Ratchet would agree, the pandemic is over. 391 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 7: But we are stuck with that in our billion forever. 392 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 7: So you drive around the city's an American. You see 393 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 7: all these people bent over with the fentanyl or you know, 394 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 7: living their mom's basement, playing Assassin street, and you say, 395 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 7: how can we have a three point nine percent unemployment? 396 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 7: I see a lot of people who don't have jobs. 397 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 7: That's right, they're not in the labor force, they're not counted. 398 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 7: If you are discouraged, if you've given up on life, 399 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 7: if you're out on the street, you're not unemployed. You 400 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 7: may as well be retired for a government statistician. 401 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: And then finally got the inflation. 402 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 7: So inflation was coming down because the supply chain wound 403 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 7: out because the FED stopped printing money handover fist, And 404 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 7: it did come down for a little while, but last 405 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 7: October it touched one percent annualized on inflation, all right, 406 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 7: and since then, every single month it's been marching up 407 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 7: two three, four five. So this point where at six 408 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 7: point two percent annualized. As for business inflation PPI, we're 409 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 7: at about four percent on consumer and rising, So inflation. 410 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: Is coming back. 411 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 7: They got the freebie partly from the lockdown's ending, partly 412 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 7: from the supply chains easing, partly from the world economy 413 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 7: slowing that makes oil prices come down. So I got 414 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 7: all these transitory freebies, if you will. And now, as 415 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 7: Warren Buffett says, now the tide goes out, we see 416 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 7: who's swimming without a suit. Now we're seeing the real 417 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 7: durable inflation. This is looking permanent. 418 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 8: Yeah. 419 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: Well, Peter, that was all pretty much horrific because that 420 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: was exactly what I thought was happening. Now, I'm gonna 421 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: put this in the most layman terms possible because I'm 422 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: an idiot, and you just tell me if I'm wrong. 423 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: What it seems to me is the people who are 424 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: in charge all the elites now, whoever they may be, 425 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: however you want to classify that, their blood sucking the 426 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: last to the money out of the treasury. They're doing 427 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: everything they possibly can to lie to the American public 428 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: about what they're doing so they can sail off into 429 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: the sunset with the last of our gold when we 430 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: go down in flames. Do I have that about right? Yeah, 431 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: that's absolutely right. 432 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 7: And you know, traditionally in America we've had a relationship 433 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 7: with our government where it's a parasite, but we can 434 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 7: still get by, right. They still make sure the dishes 435 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 7: are washed and they pay the electric bill and whatnot. Right, 436 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 7: terrible roommate, but anyway we can survive. What's happened since 437 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 7: COVID is that government has turned into a predator now, right, 438 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 7: they're putting out these lobbyist funded regulations, you know, trying 439 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 7: to wipe out and tire domestic industries. 440 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: Just hand over to China. 441 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 7: Who cares because once somebody goes on welfare. They are 442 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 7: a reliable left wing voter. They're obedient, they do what 443 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 7: they're told. 444 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 8: Right. 445 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 7: They want us to be frankly slaves. They do not 446 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 7: want us to have businesses to be entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are 447 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 7: the worst thing for big government, right. Entrepreneurs care about 448 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 7: the future of the country. They have the means to 449 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 7: do something about it. They're independent minded. They want to 450 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 7: convert all that into at best, you know, just employees 451 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 7: of a big company. But really what they're pushing is 452 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 7: that everybody just goes on government benefits. And of course 453 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 7: these guys, they're socialists. They have no idea how the 454 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 7: economy works. They don't understand that government doesn't actually have 455 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 7: any money. It produces nothing. Everything government has was stolen. 456 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 7: It was either stolen in taxes, it was stolen inflation. 457 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 7: They don't understand what the endgame here, and of course 458 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 7: the endgame is poverty across the entire country. 459 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: Peter, you have a video out talking about the housing 460 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: market and how bad it really is. You touched on 461 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: it a little bit. How bad is it? Obviously I'm 462 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: not I'm preaching to the choir for everyone out there 463 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: searching for one right now, but tell us how bad 464 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: it is. 465 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's rough. You know, during COVID we had a 466 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 7: perfect storm. So home price is sore. That was because 467 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 7: the Fed prints in so much money. Mortgage rates went 468 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 7: up they went from what three percent to seven to 469 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 7: eight percent. 470 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: That's because the Fed tried to fix. 471 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 7: All the money had printed, and then the inflation bleeds 472 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 7: through to everything. Right, So your property taxes go up 473 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 7: in lockstep with your home price. If you're planning to 474 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 7: live in your house, all right, if you're not actually 475 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 7: looking to move, if you like where you live, it's 476 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 7: a problem when your home price goes up, because that 477 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 7: means your taxes go up. Now, even if you sell 478 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 7: your house, you got to you know, you bought the 479 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 7: house for four on a one. 480 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: Thousand, and now it's a million. 481 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 7: Okay, but you got to live somewhere, and somewhere also 482 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 7: went up in price. Right then you got you got 483 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 7: insurance exploding, You got all these costs going up. And 484 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 7: what you're seeing that now is that young people are 485 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 7: giving up. Right, Millennials, forget gen Z. They're not building 486 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 7: a future. They're not even bothering their doom spending. They're 487 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 7: going on three day you know, Caribbean vacations. They have 488 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 7: a dime to their name. Right, previous generations they'd be 489 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 7: building up for down payment. 490 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: On the house so they could have a family. 491 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 7: These guys now are just living for the day, because 492 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 7: the problem is they look at the way they grew up. 493 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 7: Right there, two parents living in a house that their 494 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 7: parents actually owned, with like three bedrooms. This is just 495 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 7: science fiction to them. This is like, you know, some 496 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 7: movie of some bygone era. They cannot imagine how they 497 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 7: could possibly get to that point. So for the median 498 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 7: house in America right now, you need to make six 499 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 7: figures to get qualified for a loan. 500 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: That's for the median house. That's not for a glamorous house. 501 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: That's median. If you're a millennial and. 502 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 7: You're cobbling together shifts down at panera six figures, that 503 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 7: ain't gonna happen for a while. By the time that happens, 504 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 7: you are not going to be building a family. You're 505 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 7: going to be in your thirties. Have mercy, all right, Peter, 506 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 7: before I have to, before I let you go. What 507 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 7: does keep me up at night for the little I 508 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 7: really truly understand of it is the world walking away 509 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 7: from the dollar. While they understand this is not something 510 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 7: that's about to happen. 511 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,439 Speaker 1: Tomorrow, I'm not naive. It does seem like with what 512 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: we're doing by destroying the value of it, it seems 513 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: like we're accelerating that end, aren't we. Yeah, that's one 514 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: of the big debates right now. 515 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 7: Bilagi's Fornivoussan, who's a great voice on Twitter. He just 516 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 7: came out with something today talking about that. You know, traditionally, 517 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 7: the US government had a very strong goal to protect 518 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 7: the value of the dollar, that was the so called 519 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 7: petro dollar. And what is starting to look like is 520 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 7: that the government is almost trying to sabotage the dollar. 521 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 7: Now there's logic to that, right, if they sabotage the dollar, 522 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 7: then it makes it cheaper to make stuff in America. 523 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 7: So because the government has made it so expensive to 524 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 7: make anything here between regulations and taxes and mandates and 525 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 7: the rest, they can try to reverse some of that damage, 526 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 7: like gutting the dollar making the dollar really cheap. So 527 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 7: you know, of course that bankrupts US. That's throwing away 528 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 7: our national wealth. But that's one way to hide the 529 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 7: damage that they've done so far. So you know, JP 530 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 7: Morgan just came out with a report warning about that 531 00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 7: that the dollar share of a national reserve nerves that's 532 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 7: what central banks hold in other countries, that's collapsing. It's 533 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 7: now fifty eight percent it used to be in the 534 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 7: seventies or the eighties. If you include gold in that, 535 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 7: we're actually below half at this point. Now where is 536 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 7: all that money going A lot of it is actually 537 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 7: going into gold. So gold has absolutely exploded on central 538 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 7: bank balance sheets. If gold were a currency, which it 539 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 7: should be, it would be the number two in. 540 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: The world right now, just behind the dollar. 541 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 7: So we have these big shifts moving and if you 542 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 7: look at what the Biden administration is doing about it, 543 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 7: if anything, they're accelerating it. They just went to seize 544 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 7: Russia's central bank dollars. Good fun, they're in a war, whatnot. 545 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 7: The problem is that put every country on Earth on 546 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 7: notice that the dollar is a politically risky thing to own. 547 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 7: So all these countries, Indonesia, Brazil, countries that don't have 548 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 7: a beef with us, they're getting off the dollar now 549 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 7: because you never know when some activists is going to 550 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 7: get pissed off of your LGBT policies and you're going 551 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 7: to have trouble with the Biden administration. 552 00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:59,479 Speaker 1: He's already done that in Africa. 553 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 7: He's threatened sanctions against you Uganda for their laws to 554 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 7: do with LGBT. You Ganda is a conservative place anyway. 555 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 7: If you look at what the administration is actually doing, 556 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 7: for the first time I think in my lifetime, they 557 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 7: are not trying to protect a dollar. It almost looks 558 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 7: like they are trying to gut it on purpose. 559 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: Jeez, Peter, I hate when you join us. Please come 560 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: back soon though, Because you do, it's so much smarter. 561 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: Thank you, my brother. I appreciate it.

How 585 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 5: could it be that any American president cannot denounce violence? 586 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 4: I know I can, I will, and I have. 587 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 5: Political has no place in America period. 588 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 9: Ah. 589 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: Yes, all that unity, all that division, got to stop 590 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: demonizing each other. He loves to say that. Joining me now, 591 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: my friend Julie Kelly, you need to subscribe to her 592 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: substack called Declassified Julie. He does bring up a good point. 593 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: As much as I disliked Joe Biden, imagine, imagine what 594 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: would happen if some leftists attacked the capital. How severely 595 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: they'd be treated. They'd be horrific, wouldn't it, Julie? 596 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 10: Yes, exactly. Well you know, Jesse, just this over the weekend, 597 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 10: I posted yet another double standard out of this Department 598 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 10: of Justice where Matthew Graves, the DCUs attorney, gave a 599 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 10: pro Hamas protester forty eight hours of community service for 600 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 10: attacking two Capitol police officers, including a female, punching her 601 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 10: in the face. This individual, because he's a Democratic Party 602 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 10: activist and supported by Democrats, gets forty eight hours of 603 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 10: community service, not forty eight months in jail like JA 604 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 10: sixers who are accused of attacking police officers. So the 605 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 10: double standard just never ends. And you know, this is 606 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 10: something that if Donald Trump wins, he's going to have 607 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 10: to clean up. For our conversation last time. 608 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: Tell us how the January sixth political prisoners are being treated, Julie, 609 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: can you give us an update on that. Surely, after 610 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: all the publicity about the horrific conditions they're being kept 611 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: in and how poorly Matthew Graves has been treating these people, 612 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: surely the government is backed off, right. 613 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 10: Yes, of course they have. They're working hand in glove 614 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 10: with defense attorneys and House Republicans to uncover examples of 615 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 10: police and really jail guard abuse of Jay sixers. So 616 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 10: today it was announced I announced on Twitter x at 617 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 10: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Representative Troy Nell's are 618 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 10: being stemied in their investigation of accusations of abuse by 619 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 10: jail guards in DC against Ronald mccabee, who was a 620 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 10: deputy sheriff in Tennessee. He was incarcerated pre trialed attention 621 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 10: in the d C Gulag for two years before he 622 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 10: went to trial Jesse. He didn't get forty eight hours 623 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 10: of community service. So House Republicans opening investigation. They want 624 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,880 Speaker 10: the body worn camera footage of this DC Gulog jail 625 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 10: guard Crystal Lancaster. They have been steymied in their efforts 626 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 10: by the d C Department of Corrections, by d C 627 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 10: Mayor Muriel Bowser, and even the US Marshall Service who 628 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 10: refused to turn over that body worn camera that shows 629 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 10: this guard Pepper spring Ronald mccabee in the face repeatedly, 630 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 10: then apparently throwing him in what they call the whole 631 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 10: solitary so he continued to burn and his crime his offense. 632 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 10: Why she did this apparently is because he took down 633 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 10: his face mask to take medication that he needed in 634 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 10: On September twenty twenty two, if you can believe it 635 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 10: or not, they were still required to wear face masks. 636 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 10: So looking into more examples of jail abuse by jail 637 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 10: guards against j sixers in Washington, well, I'm. 638 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: Sure Merrek Garland is all over the abuse that's taking 639 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: place underneath him and the DOJ. Here is Merrek Garland 640 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 1: given a little presser on how he's being held in contempt? 641 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 9: Justice Department is a fundamental institution of our democracy. People 642 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 9: depend on us to ensure that our investigations and our 643 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 9: prosecutions are conducted according to the facts and the law 644 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 9: and without political influence. We have gone to extraordinary lengths 645 00:35:53,680 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 9: to ensure that the committees get responses to their legimate requests. 646 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 9: But this is not one to the contrary, This is 647 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 9: one that would harm our ability in the future to 648 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 9: successfully pursue sensitive investigations. Now, there have been a series 649 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 9: of unprecedented and frankly unfounded attacks on the Justice Department. 650 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 9: This request, this effort to use contempts as a method 651 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 9: of obtaining our sensitive law enforcement files, is just the 652 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 9: most recent. 653 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 1: Julie Merrick Garland, does he have the authority to determine 654 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,879 Speaker 1: what is a legitimate request and what is not. 655 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 10: Well, apparently he does. And you know, let's not forget Jesse. 656 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,479 Speaker 10: The real victim in all this is Merrick Garland, right, 657 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 10: he is the victim here. And then I love the 658 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 10: reporter comes in and says, how do you deal with 659 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 10: all of these attacks against the Justice Department? And you 660 00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,840 Speaker 10: know he just shed a little tear and talked to 661 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 10: about the great men and women of the DOJ and 662 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 10: what a hero he is. Now, what he's talking about 663 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 10: there is House Republicans have subpoena the recorded interview, the 664 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 10: audio version of the interview between Joe Biden and Special 665 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 10: Counsel Robert Hurr from last October. We have the transcripts, 666 00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 10: allegedly what's supposed to be the transcript, but of course 667 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 10: House Republicans want the audio version. And this is what 668 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 10: Merrick Garland advised Joe Biden to invoke executive privilege, not 669 00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 10: to divide that subpoena. And that's what Merrick Garland is 670 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 10: talking about there. How turning over a recorded interview of 671 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 10: the president who's under investigation, how that thwarts this enshrined 672 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 10: institution of our democracy. Jesse, the Department of Justice, we 673 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 10: can't really get a good explanation. But it doesn't matter 674 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 10: because DOJ is used to doing whatever they want, instituting 675 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 10: and executing these double standards of justice, one set for Republicans, 676 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 10: one for Democrats, including Joe Biden. And now I think 677 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 10: there's going to be a big court fight to get 678 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 10: that recorded interview, since they already have released the written transcript, Julie. 679 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: Today was supposed to be the start of the Trump 680 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:21,720 Speaker 1: classified documents trial. Obviously that didn't happen, severely delayed, pretty 681 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: much blown up? Is it blown up? Is that thing 682 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 1: ever going to happen? 683 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 10: Yes, that case has imploded in many different directions, Jesse. 684 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 10: And what Judge Aileen Cannon is starting and I will 685 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 10: be at the courthouse this Wednesday is a series of 686 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 10: mini trials of the Department of Justice and Special Council 687 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 10: jack Smith. So on Wednesday there will be a hearing 688 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 10: about Trump's co defendant while Team Na, his longtime personal 689 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 10: aid who also was charged in this case, his motion 690 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 10: to dismiss based on selective and vindictive prosecution. Then next 691 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 10: month there will be a series of hearings in her 692 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:05,000 Speaker 10: courtroom asking about the legitimacy of Special Counsel Jacksmith's appointment 693 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 10: to begin with, and then three days of hearings that 694 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 10: will further expose the collusion between the Biden White House, 695 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 10: the National Archives, the DOJ, FBI, and other agencies to 696 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 10: concoct some sort of documents case against Donald Trump. Judge 697 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 10: Aileen Cannon truly doing the heavy lifting, almost single handedly 698 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 10: and really exposing the corruption, the sloppiness of this case, 699 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 10: the dirtiness and the prosecutorial abuse of Jack Smith and 700 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,040 Speaker 10: his prosecutors. So the tables have turned. That's why you 701 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 10: see this Jesse has kind of disappeared from the headlines, 702 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 10: you know, unless you're seeing some sort of call for 703 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 10: Aleen Cannon's head and to recuse because of what she's doing. 704 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 10: The media is kind of ignoring this case all of 705 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 10: a sudden, which you know is supposed to be treason 706 00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 10: on the part of Donald Trump hoarding nuclear secret material 707 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,400 Speaker 10: and maybe sharing it with our enemy, all of a sudden, 708 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 10: because Judge alien Cannon is exposing what's happened in this 709 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 10: investigation in case it's really lost in the corporate media 710 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 10: seems to have really lost interest in this. 711 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, they sure did, you know? Speaking of Jack Smith, 712 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: A lot of people ask me why I don't call 713 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: myself a Republican. I call myself an anti communist. I 714 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 1: want to thank Mike Johnson for this video because this 715 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:25,879 Speaker 1: is why here he was. 716 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 11: With regard to defunding Jack Smith. Look, I think that 717 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 11: there's been a terrible dereliction of duty with regard to 718 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,799 Speaker 11: the Special Counsel and how how the whole system has 719 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 11: been abused, how they've engaged in lawfair against President Trump. 720 00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 11: I mean, all of these things are to me self 721 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:46,439 Speaker 11: evident truths. But that's not something you wave a wand 722 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 11: and just eliminate the Special Council as a provision. It's 723 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 11: been part of the law, you know, the tradition and 724 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 11: the lawyer system for twenty five years. 725 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,880 Speaker 10: So are you prepared then to stick this into appropriations 726 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 10: bills to defund the Special Council? 727 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:04,280 Speaker 1: No, Julie, if I had to define the Republican Party, 728 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: it would, honestly, I just play that audio right there. 729 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 1: Here's a list of all the terrible things they're doing, 730 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: and here's a list of all the reasons why I 731 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,280 Speaker 1: won't do anything to stop it. That's the GOP model. 732 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 10: It's just stunning. And to first of all, Mike Johnson 733 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 10: has no idea what's going on in this case. If 734 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 10: he did, he would have no basis of saying that 735 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 10: there's no grounds to defund Jack Smith. As I wrote 736 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 10: in my subject last week, not only should he be defunded, 737 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 10: he should face a congressional investigation, which they're starting to 738 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 10: pick up some pieces of it. Of course Jack Smith's 739 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 10: confession a few weeks ago that they have mishandled and 740 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 10: possibly misplaced key evidence in this investigation of prosecution. So 741 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 10: why is Mike Johnson sitting there so sanctimoniously talking about dirty, 742 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,280 Speaker 10: corrupt Jack Smith and his prosecutors, But once again Jesse 743 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 10: washing his hands of any responsibility or oversight or account 744 00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 10: of ability of this rogue Special Council, and not only 745 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 10: in this investigation, but of course the J six one 746 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 10: in Washington as well. That's why again have to commend 747 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 10: Judge Cannon for single handedly doing at least most of 748 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 10: the work that House Republicans should be doing, including Mike 749 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 10: Johnson doing that really on her own and taking all 750 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 10: the slings and arrows by the corporate media and Democrats 751 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 10: while she is really the one doing all the heavy 752 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 10: lifting and determined to bring transparency to this case. So 753 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 10: the American people can see exactly what has happened in 754 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 10: this investigation for more than two years. 755 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: Lord Willing, truly you are the best. Come back soon. 756 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,959 Speaker 1: All right, we have light in the mood. 757 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:59,840 Speaker 8: Thanks, It's time to. 758 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: Let in the mood. And one of the things that 759 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 1: I it brightens my mood, at least briefly anymore, is 760 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,120 Speaker 1: the absurdity of everything now, especially the people in charge. Remember, 761 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 1: you should be mocking the powerful right now. When you 762 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: have a country led by the dumbest, most corrupt, most selfish, 763 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,160 Speaker 1: deprave people on the planet, you should mock them every 764 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 1: chance you get. Their idiocy, just every part of it. 765 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,600 Speaker 1: Remember doing COVID, everyone was worried about COVID, and the 766 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: White House was pushing all this COVID panic, and Joe 767 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: Biden got up sick as a dog and gave a speech, you. 768 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 12: Can't be pro insurrection and pro cop You can't be 769 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,320 Speaker 12: pro insurrection and pro democracy. You can't be pro insurrection 770 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,880 Speaker 12: and pro American. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act. 771 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 12: The brave women and men and blue all across this 772 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 12: nation should never forget that. 773 00:43:58,360 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 8: Sounded so bad. 774 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: I sym
