WEBVTT - THEY WOULDN'T JUST SUSPEND HABEAS CORPUS FOR IMMIGRANTS - 5.12.25 0:00:04.795 --> 0:00:23.355 Countdown with Keith Olderman is a production of iHeartRadio. So 0:00:23.475 --> 0:00:27.955 which do you like worst, suspending habeas corpus breaking the 0:00:28.035 --> 0:00:30.995 law by threatening to arrest members of Congress for obeying 0:00:30.995 --> 0:00:35.315 the law, or Trump accepting a half billion dollar impeachable 0:00:35.555 --> 0:00:38.875 illegal bribe from the government of Kutthar that the Attorney 0:00:38.875 --> 0:00:40.955 General has ruled isn't illegal. And by the way, the 0:00:40.955 --> 0:00:43.515 Attorney General used to be a lobbyist for the government 0:00:43.555 --> 0:00:51.715 of Kutthar. Coincidence, No doubt, they are all nation destroying events. 0:00:52.475 --> 0:00:54.955 But bluntly, there is no way back from a suspension 0:00:54.955 --> 0:00:58.835 of habeas corpus. It becomes a one man dictatorship then, 0:00:59.715 --> 0:01:04.155 Because if you think suspending habeas corpus just for undocumented 0:01:04.195 --> 0:01:07.595 immigrants is somehow acceptable on its face, remember two things. 0:01:07.675 --> 0:01:11.235 One is that there would be no hearings and no 0:01:11.395 --> 0:01:16.395 legal recourse for anyone seized in this way, so that 0:01:16.515 --> 0:01:19.915 all they would have to do is claim that you 0:01:20.755 --> 0:01:26.555 are an undocumented immigrant to rationalize disappearing you, and you 0:01:26.595 --> 0:01:28.955 would not have a hearing at which you could prove 0:01:28.995 --> 0:01:30.755 you were a citizen, and you would not have a 0:01:30.835 --> 0:01:34.195 lawyer to appeal the decision not to give you a hearing. 0:01:35.915 --> 0:01:39.515 Alexandria Accassio Cortes born in the Bronx High School in 0:01:39.635 --> 0:01:43.995 Yorktown Heights, not according to Christy Nomes records. In her file, 0:01:44.115 --> 0:01:49.115 we have her down as being born elsewhere, and she's illegal. 0:01:49.395 --> 0:01:52.275 And if you ask any other questions, we'll just get 0:01:52.395 --> 0:01:56.435 your file, which also has you being born elsewhere and 0:01:56.675 --> 0:01:59.675 your illegal. And if you somehow get in to see 0:01:59.675 --> 0:02:03.275 a judge somewhere on her behalf or on your own behalf, 0:02:03.355 --> 0:02:06.595 we'll just get the judge file, which also has the 0:02:06.715 --> 0:02:10.515 judge being born elsewhere, and they're illegal. And maybe eighteen 0:02:10.595 --> 0:02:12.395 days ago you would have laughed at the idea that 0:02:12.395 --> 0:02:14.755 they could ever arrest a judge. And if you're still laughing, 0:02:14.835 --> 0:02:19.635 let me reintroduce you to Judge Hannah Dugan of Milwaukee. 0:02:20.475 --> 0:02:25.155 That's the first and most obvious problem. There is no limit. 0:02:25.715 --> 0:02:31.715 Once habeas corpus is suspended for whatever reason about whatever 0:02:31.755 --> 0:02:38.155 group of people, habeas corpus is the limit. Suspend that, 0:02:38.275 --> 0:02:43.155 and there are no limits. It is then one quick 0:02:43.235 --> 0:02:47.755 final jump to making this place the Trump States of America. 0:02:49.315 --> 0:02:51.755 But there is a second thing to remember. The one 0:02:51.795 --> 0:02:55.835 man dictatorship to which I refer is not Trump. He 0:02:56.035 --> 0:02:59.035 is the ever more feeble front man here, and they 0:02:59.075 --> 0:03:01.995 lie to him to make him think it's him. The 0:03:02.035 --> 0:03:05.835 one man dictatorship, on the ethnic cleansing, on the elimination 0:03:05.915 --> 0:03:09.515 of the judiciary, the erasure of your baseline rights to 0:03:09.635 --> 0:03:13.075 not be kidnapped by the proud boys gang dressed up 0:03:13.075 --> 0:03:16.955 as government agents. The one man dictatorship is actually run 0:03:16.995 --> 0:03:24.475 by Stephen fing Miller. And where in this happy announcement 0:03:25.755 --> 0:03:29.635 does Stephen Miller say anything about suspending habeas corpus only 0:03:29.755 --> 0:03:30.755 four immigrants. 0:03:31.195 --> 0:03:33.395 Well, the Constitution is clear, and that, of course is 0:03:33.435 --> 0:03:37.355 the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of 0:03:37.395 --> 0:03:40.035 the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a 0:03:40.075 --> 0:03:42.395 time of invasion. So would say that's an option we're 0:03:42.435 --> 0:03:45.115 actively looking at. Look, a lot of it depends on 0:03:45.355 --> 0:03:47.275 whether the courts do the right thing or not. 0:03:47.515 --> 0:03:51.315 I heard invasion there the only invasion is by the 0:03:51.355 --> 0:03:54.435 disease that he is Maga, just as the invasion of 0:03:54.475 --> 0:03:58.675 Germany was by the disease that was Nazism. I also 0:03:58.715 --> 0:04:01.995 heard it depends on whether the courts do the right 0:04:02.035 --> 0:04:05.195 thing or not, because sure they'd use habeas corpus to 0:04:05.235 --> 0:04:10.835 continue to round up undocumented immigrants and citizens and anybody 0:04:10.835 --> 0:04:13.875 else who doesn't look white enough. But the reference to 0:04:13.915 --> 0:04:16.835 the courts by Miller is not inadvertent. That is a 0:04:16.955 --> 0:04:21.395 warning to the judges, and the warning is your next 0:04:24.235 --> 0:04:27.635 I presented the nightmares of habeas corpus and arresting members 0:04:27.675 --> 0:04:32.315 of Congress and the Katari airplane bribe as three separate issues, 0:04:32.475 --> 0:04:35.275 but they're really not separate. Certainly, the first two are 0:04:35.315 --> 0:04:39.555 not separate. Michael McCall is one of the Trump gangsters 0:04:39.715 --> 0:04:43.755 from Texas, and he is absolutely fine with Homeland Security 0:04:44.075 --> 0:04:48.755 threatening to arrest Representatives Rob Menendez and Lamonica Machiver and 0:04:48.755 --> 0:04:53.275 Bonnie Watson Coleman on a charge of, I guess a 0:04:53.435 --> 0:04:57.435 charge of being beaten up by Homeland Security as they 0:04:57.515 --> 0:05:02.035 exercise their Congressional right to inspect the ICE concentration camp 0:05:02.355 --> 0:05:06.915 in Delaney Hall in Newark. The congresswoman hit an officer's 0:05:06.955 --> 0:05:12.595 fist with her face. The Homeland Gestapo spent the weekend 0:05:12.635 --> 0:05:15.235 dropping hints that the three congress people are going to 0:05:15.355 --> 0:05:19.795 the Big House, just as they arrested Newark's mayor ros Baraka, 0:05:20.035 --> 0:05:21.915 who knew it was coming because he's not a member 0:05:21.915 --> 0:05:24.995 of Congress, and bus does not have legal privilege to 0:05:25.075 --> 0:05:28.675 inspect a concentration camp with one hundred cells in it 0:05:28.875 --> 0:05:31.995 being reopened in the city he's supposed to be in 0:05:32.115 --> 0:05:35.955 charge of and was elected to do so. But what 0:05:36.075 --> 0:05:41.315 this thug McCall said yesterday ties this all together and ominously, 0:05:41.435 --> 0:05:44.755 so he went on face the nation and postulated a 0:05:44.875 --> 0:05:50.755 conspiracy between the Jersey Democrats and the imaginary invaders from 0:05:50.755 --> 0:05:57.915 the nation of MS thirteen Land asked specifically about arresting 0:05:58.115 --> 0:06:01.275 members of Congress, and remember he's a member of Congress, 0:06:01.955 --> 0:06:06.635 this fascist McCall answered, quote and peacefully protest in this country, 0:06:06.715 --> 0:06:10.795 but you cannot be complicit with gang violence against our 0:06:10.955 --> 0:06:14.875 law enforcement. And I think perhaps that's what it comes 0:06:14.955 --> 0:06:19.475 down to. Well, if we live in a dictatorship, that's 0:06:19.475 --> 0:06:22.795 exactly what it comes down to. Steven Miller decides who 0:06:22.795 --> 0:06:27.035 should be disappeared if you defend them, and the Ice 0:06:27.155 --> 0:06:30.035 Death Squad chief Tom Homan has already said this, like 0:06:30.195 --> 0:06:33.955 I already said in twenty sixteen that someday somebody would 0:06:33.955 --> 0:06:37.635 say this, if you defend them, Steven Miller can decide 0:06:37.675 --> 0:06:40.635 that you should also be disappeared. And if you are 0:06:40.675 --> 0:06:44.795 a judge who tries to merely enforce the law giving 0:06:44.875 --> 0:06:48.195 either of you due process. The judge can be disappeared. 0:06:48.515 --> 0:06:51.355 And if you're a member of Congress who protests, you are, 0:06:51.915 --> 0:06:55.115 according to the guy at the next desk, complicit with 0:06:55.235 --> 0:07:00.395 gang violence against our law enforcement, and you can be disappeared. 0:07:04.115 --> 0:07:07.955 Even the leading Trump gangsters are morons. So in this equation, 0:07:07.995 --> 0:07:11.075 of course, McCall has forgotten this most elemental bit of logic. 0:07:11.155 --> 0:07:14.155 One members of the House of Representatives can be seized 0:07:14.435 --> 0:07:17.675 for exercising their legal rights as members of the House 0:07:17.675 --> 0:07:22.155 of Representatives. Thus two, Michael McCall is a member of 0:07:22.195 --> 0:07:27.195 the House of Representatives. Thus three. That means Michael McCall 0:07:27.435 --> 0:07:31.195 can well. Even if he hasn't figured it out, you 0:07:31.315 --> 0:07:37.795 already have Trump his mind rapidly going is not uninvolved here. 0:07:38.395 --> 0:07:42.835 After reich Schleiter Miller glibly referred to habeas corpus to 0:07:43.035 --> 0:07:46.115 stop the invasion, which is going on only inside his 0:07:46.275 --> 0:07:49.075 diseased mind. The White House was quick to leak to 0:07:49.155 --> 0:07:53.035 CNN that while Trump himself has not mentioned habeas corpus, 0:07:53.555 --> 0:07:56.555 that's what he meant last month when he insisted there 0:07:56.555 --> 0:07:59.755 were steps he could take against the courts, against the 0:07:59.835 --> 0:08:04.875 judges against the laws, against the Constitution, and against America. 0:08:05.115 --> 0:08:08.315 Quoting him, then there are ways to mitigate it, and 0:08:08.355 --> 0:08:11.235 there's some very strong ways. There's one way that's been 0:08:11.315 --> 0:08:16.115 used by three very highly respected presidents. He then elaborated 0:08:16.195 --> 0:08:18.875 on this in the same way he usually does, by 0:08:18.875 --> 0:08:22.275 simply repeating himself with the words in a different order. 0:08:22.675 --> 0:08:26.475 There is one way used successfully by three presidents, all 0:08:26.595 --> 0:08:30.755 highly respected. I am waiting for him to further clarify 0:08:30.795 --> 0:08:34.795 this by adding quote three to one, all is successfully 0:08:34.835 --> 0:08:41.675 respected way there is highly used presidents. There's one more 0:08:41.715 --> 0:08:44.795 snake in this bag, and it is the response to 0:08:44.835 --> 0:08:48.755 this by the Senate, and for once it is bipartisan 0:08:48.915 --> 0:08:55.115 naivete Amy Klobashar said they would never approve the suspension 0:08:55.115 --> 0:08:59.675 of Habeas Corpus. Tom Barrasso said he doesn't believe Habeas 0:08:59.715 --> 0:09:02.315 Corpus's suspension will ever come to Congress. And of course 0:09:02.315 --> 0:09:05.995 they're both right, though neither of them understands the implications 0:09:05.995 --> 0:09:09.115 of why they're right. It'll never come to Congress because 0:09:09.115 --> 0:09:12.915 while there's some chance Trump would ask for a formal suspension, 0:09:13.035 --> 0:09:15.715 he really can't take that chance. He'll just do it. 0:09:16.715 --> 0:09:21.515 Like everything else. He'll just do it. I really need 0:09:21.555 --> 0:09:24.515 to find out what the Latin translation of the Trump 0:09:24.595 --> 0:09:30.475 motto is. You know, try and stop me. He will 0:09:30.715 --> 0:09:35.275 just do it, especially now that McCall has conveniently reminded 0:09:35.395 --> 0:09:39.115 not just the Democrats at the Newark concentration camp, but 0:09:39.235 --> 0:09:43.115 any Republicans who might waiver that those who don't voluntarily 0:09:43.235 --> 0:09:46.675 vote for the furer's legislation will be accused of being 0:09:46.675 --> 0:09:50.755 complicit with gang violence against our law enforcement and will 0:09:50.755 --> 0:09:54.035 be arrested. And no, you can't have a lawyer, silly, 0:09:54.715 --> 0:10:01.355 We just suspended Habeas corpus. By the way, that Pollyanna 0:10:01.435 --> 0:10:05.915 answer from that authoritarian stooge Senator Barack as Hoole had 0:10:05.915 --> 0:10:08.555 to be pulled out of him. He was on Meet 0:10:08.635 --> 0:10:13.635 the Press and he was asked about whether he'd support 0:10:14.195 --> 0:10:19.035 suspending Habeas Corpus. He was asked three times. The first 0:10:19.035 --> 0:10:22.355 two times he simply went into the same speech defending 0:10:22.395 --> 0:10:25.915 Trump like an Elmo doll whose string has been pulled. 0:10:26.875 --> 0:10:28.875 The third time he said he didn't think it would 0:10:28.915 --> 0:10:33.035 ever come to Congress, whereupon the feckless Kristen Welker beamed 0:10:33.195 --> 0:10:37.115 at him and thanked him so effusively you would have 0:10:37.155 --> 0:10:40.595 thought he'd just given a million to her favorite charity. 0:10:42.475 --> 0:10:47.275 And by the way, Barasso still never answered your question. Welker, 0:10:48.515 --> 0:10:53.635 good work. Welker did not bother the fill in guy 0:10:53.755 --> 0:10:56.795 on CBS did not bother nobody, as near as I 0:10:57.035 --> 0:11:00.715 can tell, bothered to ask the question posed the other 0:11:00.835 --> 0:11:04.355 day by Harvey Wilkinson, now in his forty first year 0:11:04.395 --> 0:11:07.595 as a federal judge on the US Court of Appeals 0:11:07.595 --> 0:11:11.995 for the Fourth Circuit, appointed by Reagan, who twenty years 0:11:11.995 --> 0:11:15.315 ago was on w Bush's short list for the Supreme Court. 0:11:15.475 --> 0:11:19.275 But Bush chose Harriet Myers, who was basically a paralegal, 0:11:19.635 --> 0:11:22.995 and when she washed out, he picked Alito instead. Because 0:11:23.475 --> 0:11:31.035 w Bush remains eternally an asshole anyway, Judge Wilkinson, who 0:11:31.075 --> 0:11:36.155 he skipped, perhaps because of thoughts like this, asks this question, 0:11:37.395 --> 0:11:40.715 if today the executive claims the right to deport without 0:11:40.795 --> 0:11:45.395 due process and in disregard of court orders, what assurance 0:11:45.435 --> 0:11:49.075 will there be tomorrow that it will not deport American 0:11:49.155 --> 0:11:56.115 citizens and then disclaim responsibility to bring them home. Our 0:11:56.395 --> 0:12:02.795 baseline American crisis is in the answer to that question. None, 0:12:03.195 --> 0:12:08.115 none at all, Judge. No assurance of any kind. Judge. 0:12:08.155 --> 0:12:14.355 In fact, the executive is doing this now. If forced 0:12:14.355 --> 0:12:17.275 to place a bet, I would say, they won't arrest 0:12:17.315 --> 0:12:20.635 members of Congress or judges and rendition them or just 0:12:20.715 --> 0:12:26.235 keep them in communicado in Newark. They will, however, threaten 0:12:26.315 --> 0:12:31.235 them endlessly. That's the value here. And that started Friday 0:12:31.595 --> 0:12:34.995 with Stephen Miller. It extended to the leak to Caitlin 0:12:35.075 --> 0:12:38.795 Collins Friday night and the attempt to entrap the members 0:12:38.795 --> 0:12:41.875 of the House and Newark's mayor, and then McCall's helpful 0:12:41.955 --> 0:12:46.795 drawing of a line between defending constitutional rights and complicity 0:12:46.835 --> 0:12:52.115 with gang violence against law enforcement, a line that does 0:12:52.635 --> 0:12:58.995 not exist. The threat is far more valuable than the 0:12:59.035 --> 0:13:04.955 act because video of congress people being dragged off by 0:13:05.315 --> 0:13:10.395 brown shirts wearing masks might actually wake some part of 0:13:10.515 --> 0:13:15.435 the public up. But I thought that about the first 0:13:15.515 --> 0:13:18.235 videos Friday, and I thought that about the arrest of 0:13:18.315 --> 0:13:23.315 Judge dougan iiO, and sadly, wakefulness in this case may 0:13:23.355 --> 0:13:26.275 have to wait until those members of the public and 0:13:26.355 --> 0:13:30.355 the media are already in one of those thousand cells 0:13:31.435 --> 0:13:59.315 at the Newark Delaney Hall concentration camp. Don't worry, I 0:13:59.315 --> 0:14:02.035 didn't forget the four hundred billion dollar bribe of Trump 0:14:02.035 --> 0:14:06.555 by the Royal Family of Qatar a seven forty seven, 0:14:07.795 --> 0:14:11.035 probably five hundred billion. With the accouterments they're going to 0:14:11.035 --> 0:14:14.435 add to it. It'll be the new Air Force one 0:14:15.515 --> 0:14:18.155 after they check to see if there are any listening devices, 0:14:19.475 --> 0:14:23.675 or after they install some. When Trump leaves office, it 0:14:23.715 --> 0:14:28.635 will simply be donated to the Trump Presidential Library, which 0:14:28.675 --> 0:14:33.955 as you know, is wallet sized. The bad news is 0:14:35.355 --> 0:14:44.155 it is a brazenly illegal, absolutely impeachable offense. Tomorrow. If 0:14:44.195 --> 0:14:48.195 this had been Obama or any other president, the president 0:14:48.235 --> 0:14:51.195 would have been impeached and by Wednesday it would have 0:14:51.195 --> 0:14:53.835 been out of office. There is that little quote in 0:14:53.875 --> 0:14:58.195 the Constitution thingy what reads, no person holding any office 0:14:58.235 --> 0:15:01.595 of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent 0:15:01.675 --> 0:15:05.515 of the Congress, except of any President, imlia to office 0:15:05.635 --> 0:15:09.155 or title of any kind whatever, from any King, prince 0:15:09.315 --> 0:15:12.395 or foreign state. Hey, you hit the trifecta. That's a 0:15:12.475 --> 0:15:15.235 king of prince and a foreign state. Well done, Trump, 0:15:15.235 --> 0:15:20.195 be I mean, my god, the Founding Fathers couldn't have 0:15:20.275 --> 0:15:22.795 hit the nail on the head anymore cleanly. If that 0:15:22.995 --> 0:15:29.395 sentence ended. This means you Trump. It's so bad. Even 0:15:29.995 --> 0:15:35.155 Laura Lumer literally says this is a quote stain on 0:15:35.275 --> 0:15:43.115 the administration, and she's disappointed in Trump. Laura Lumer rapidly 0:15:43.155 --> 0:15:49.275 becoming the Senator Susan Collins of the Reich. So that's 0:15:49.315 --> 0:15:51.875 the bad news. The good news is, thanks to Trump's 0:15:51.875 --> 0:15:55.915 Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, by the time Trump accepts 0:15:55.955 --> 0:15:58.955 this bribe, the plane will not be able to take 0:15:58.995 --> 0:16:04.635 off or land at any airport in America. The punch 0:16:04.795 --> 0:16:07.555 line is that ABC reports the Department of Justice has 0:16:07.595 --> 0:16:11.755 already helped to draft an analysis concluding sure it's legal 0:16:11.755 --> 0:16:14.035 for the Department of Defense to accept the airplane as 0:16:14.075 --> 0:16:17.315 a gift from kut R and then just later give 0:16:17.395 --> 0:16:20.435 it to the Trump Library, which, as you know, is 0:16:20.435 --> 0:16:23.395 now available in a new easy to carry flight bag 0:16:23.475 --> 0:16:28.355 with spinner wheels. And who runs this Department of Justice? 0:16:28.395 --> 0:16:33.435 What wrote all that? Why? It's DEI hire Pam Blondie, 0:16:34.155 --> 0:16:39.435 former registered foreign agent of the Embassy of the State 0:16:40.835 --> 0:16:47.875 of Kutr. So no conflict there. Pam Bondi learned her 0:16:47.955 --> 0:17:03.635 law at Stetson, not the school, just the hat kind 0:17:03.635 --> 0:17:07.595 of amazingly, ham Bondi might be his best personnel story 0:17:07.675 --> 0:17:10.715 right now. The campus newspaper of the Princetonian found out 0:17:10.715 --> 0:17:17.755 that the Secretary of Scotch Pete Hegseth clearly borrowed the 0:17:17.795 --> 0:17:22.715 writing of others in his senior thesis at Princeton, where 0:17:22.715 --> 0:17:29.595 I assume he only took weekend classes eight cut and pastes. 0:17:29.795 --> 0:17:32.475 It appears here is one. See if you see any 0:17:32.555 --> 0:17:36.355 similarity here. I know it's borderline, but just listen. September twelfth, 0:17:36.435 --> 0:17:40.515 two thousand and one, Washington Post quote after Cards, whisper 0:17:40.955 --> 0:17:44.355 Bush looked distracted and somber, but continued to listen to 0:17:44.395 --> 0:17:47.755 the second grader's read, and soon was smiling again. He 0:17:47.875 --> 0:17:52.115 joked that they read so well they must be sixth graders. 0:17:52.155 --> 0:17:56.995 Heg Seth's thesis two thousand and three, quoting Hegseth After Cards, 0:17:57.035 --> 0:18:00.715 whisper Bush looked distracted and somber, but continued to listen 0:18:00.755 --> 0:18:04.675 to the second graders, joking that they read like sixth graders. 0:18:08.555 --> 0:18:11.795 I don't know. It might be close. It's not in quotes, 0:18:11.955 --> 0:18:15.435 there's no footnote, there's no The Washington Post reported nothing. 0:18:15.675 --> 0:18:21.715 I think he took out two words, so well isn't 0:18:21.755 --> 0:18:28.075 in there. The Princetonian quoted three experts who said you 0:18:28.115 --> 0:18:32.315 cannot define this as serious plagiarism. I mean, it's hegseeth. 0:18:32.355 --> 0:18:36.075 How could it be serious? But all eight lifted passages 0:18:36.195 --> 0:18:41.635 quote violate Princeton's Rights Rules Responsibilities a set of policies 0:18:42.035 --> 0:18:49.995 and procedures that govern academic integrity eg. SETH integrity Low. 0:18:52.875 --> 0:18:56.075 Trump has fired the Librarian of Congress. A reporter asked 0:18:56.115 --> 0:19:01.995 the impossibly stupid Secretary of Lying, Caroline Levitt, the President 0:19:02.035 --> 0:19:06.195 fired the Librarian of Congress. Why this is Levitt's answer, 0:19:07.195 --> 0:19:10.435 There were concuning things she had done at the Library 0:19:10.475 --> 0:19:16.275 of Congreth in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate 0:19:16.315 --> 0:19:23.875 book in the library for a children miss. There are 0:19:23.915 --> 0:19:28.875 no children in the Library of Congress. It's the record 0:19:29.035 --> 0:19:32.395 of every book published in America. It's the other kind 0:19:32.555 --> 0:19:37.555 of library. It's a research library and a records library. 0:19:39.275 --> 0:19:44.635 There is no DEI. Caroline Levitt is a fricking moron. 0:19:47.395 --> 0:19:50.035 On the other hand, it can and probably is worse. 0:19:50.115 --> 0:19:53.835 Trump probably thinks a library is a part of the 0:19:53.875 --> 0:20:02.835 female anatomy. And then there's Janine Piro, the new interim 0:20:02.995 --> 0:20:05.755 US Attorney for the District to column to be appointed 0:20:05.795 --> 0:20:09.435 after a Republican senator said that the last Trump interim 0:20:09.515 --> 0:20:13.635 US Attorney for the District of Columbia was two fascist, stupid, 0:20:13.635 --> 0:20:16.555 and sloppy. Even for him, he didn't use those words. 0:20:16.675 --> 0:20:20.995 I'm speaking for him. The question now is does the 0:20:21.035 --> 0:20:27.235 president get two interim appointments free of Senate approval for 0:20:27.355 --> 0:20:30.555 the same job or only one? Because if you can 0:20:30.595 --> 0:20:32.715 get two, you never have to go to the Senate 0:20:32.795 --> 0:20:35.915 at all for any approvals. You just change your interim 0:20:35.915 --> 0:20:38.755 guy every one hundred and twenty days. This has never 0:20:38.795 --> 0:20:43.035 been adjudicated before. On the other hand, when Reagan tried 0:20:43.075 --> 0:20:46.715 to appoint a second interim US Marshal in nineteen eighty six, 0:20:46.915 --> 0:20:50.635 his own Office of Legal Counsel said no, and that 0:20:50.755 --> 0:20:54.235 opinion no was written by a lawyer in the Office 0:20:54.235 --> 0:21:04.195 of Legal Counsel named Samuel Alito. On top of all this, 0:21:04.915 --> 0:21:09.475 Pierro is an idiot. That's not just my opinion here 0:21:09.915 --> 0:21:14.915 for change, it's her opinion. Simon Malloy read her book, 0:21:15.515 --> 0:21:20.635 and well she she calls herself an idiot. Malloy writes, quote, 0:21:21.195 --> 0:21:25.515 you only get about one page into Janine Piro's new book, Liars, 0:21:25.595 --> 0:21:29.195 Leakers and Liberals, The Case against the Anti Trump Conspiracy 0:21:29.795 --> 0:21:34.155 before she calls herself an idiot. It's not entirely clear 0:21:34.195 --> 0:21:36.555 whether she meant to do it or if she just 0:21:36.595 --> 0:21:40.475 got lost in the rapture of the pros, but she 0:21:40.675 --> 0:21:44.275 definitely calls yourself an idiot. Quote. We know what the 0:21:44.315 --> 0:21:50.115 liberal media think of Trump voters. They're deplorables, idiots, rednecks, 0:21:50.155 --> 0:21:53.435 and people who cling to God, guns and religion. Piro writes, 0:21:53.675 --> 0:22:01.955 to those charges, I plead guilty, guilty, and proud unquote. 0:22:02.995 --> 0:22:08.515 Among the charges Janine pre laid out is being an idiot, 0:22:08.595 --> 0:22:12.635 and a sentence later, she says she's proud of being 0:22:12.675 --> 0:22:18.955 guilty of all those charges, including being an idiot, and 0:22:19.115 --> 0:22:25.075 she is an idiot. Holy cow. She was investigated by 0:22:25.115 --> 0:22:28.995 federal prosecutors after she was caught on tape discussing with 0:22:29.115 --> 0:22:32.155 the soon to be jailed ex New York City Police 0:22:32.235 --> 0:22:36.795 chief Bernie Carrick Rudy Giuliani stooge. She was caught on 0:22:36.835 --> 0:22:40.755 tape discussing how to bug her husband's boat in hopes 0:22:40.755 --> 0:22:44.035 of capturing evidence that he was being unfaithful to her. 0:22:45.915 --> 0:22:48.235 And of course, you know the story of page ten. 0:22:49.835 --> 0:22:55.235 You don't Page ten from Piro's two thousand and five 0:22:55.235 --> 0:22:58.755 announcement that she was running for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat. 0:23:00.195 --> 0:23:02.715 She gets up in a big ballroom in Manhattan and 0:23:02.795 --> 0:23:08.435 Wooden Lee reads her beach well the first nine pages 0:23:08.515 --> 0:23:15.155 of her speech, and then she couldn't find page ten. 0:23:15.955 --> 0:23:28.875 Hillary clintons to a page ten. She's got Yeah, like 0:23:28.955 --> 0:23:31.755 so many New Yorkers, I am tired of the bickering 0:23:31.795 --> 0:23:35.155 that has tied our nation's political system in knots. 0:23:35.475 --> 0:23:39.635 And there, of course you see Janine Piro's qualifications to 0:23:39.795 --> 0:23:43.555 be the US Attorney for the District of Columbia. They 0:23:43.595 --> 0:23:46.675 telescope that, by the way, in that clip. I remember 0:23:46.795 --> 0:23:51.235 this going on for eight to ten days, all right, 0:23:51.435 --> 0:23:55.835 It was like a minute or two. But she didn't 0:23:55.995 --> 0:24:00.475 she didn't add lib or continue her speech from memory, 0:24:01.395 --> 0:24:03.115 or make a joke out of it, and just cut 0:24:03.115 --> 0:24:07.275 to page eleven with cameras rolling in front of her 0:24:07.275 --> 0:24:10.155 in a big ballroom announcing that she should be the senator. 0:24:10.875 --> 0:24:16.035 She just stopped and stood there and waited until somebody 0:24:16.035 --> 0:24:19.755 from her own staff gave her their copy of page ten. 0:24:21.835 --> 0:24:29.555 I'll just wait still. None of them, heg Seth Piro Levitt, 0:24:30.275 --> 0:24:35.435 none of them can ever top Trump's own personal stupidity. 0:24:36.115 --> 0:24:40.955 First off, he hired all of these moochs. Secondly, he 0:24:41.035 --> 0:24:44.715 proclaimed last Thursday, you may recall as victory in World 0:24:44.715 --> 0:24:50.795 War two day, and happily nobody noticed, except they noticed 0:24:50.875 --> 0:24:54.515 another gaff about this. They put out a meme to 0:24:54.715 --> 0:24:59.035 celebrate May eighth, which of course was the actual anniversary 0:24:59.035 --> 0:25:04.315 of V Day victory in Europe, ending the European part 0:25:04.315 --> 0:25:08.595 of Worldorld War two. And the meme celebrating the end 0:25:08.595 --> 0:25:11.595 of the European part of World War two was the 0:25:11.635 --> 0:25:16.115 statue of the Marines raising the flag at Ewo Jima 0:25:17.195 --> 0:25:23.555 in the Pacific Theater on Mount Suribachi, which isn't in Europe, 0:25:23.755 --> 0:25:35.715 which happened on February twenty third, which isn't in May. Look, 0:25:36.035 --> 0:25:39.795 I may be the most religious person on this planet 0:25:39.795 --> 0:25:44.155 who does not adhere to a single, actual recognized religion. 0:25:44.195 --> 0:25:46.075 I don't think any of them has it right. I 0:25:46.075 --> 0:25:48.155 don't like how any of them are run. And I 0:25:48.195 --> 0:25:51.195 think the human being has yet to be born who 0:25:51.195 --> 0:25:57.035 has correctly divined the purpose of life, if any. But 0:25:57.715 --> 0:26:01.115 I am now thinking of becoming a Catholic. Did they 0:26:01.195 --> 0:26:06.275 really select an American pope with African American heritage who 0:26:06.275 --> 0:26:10.995 did his missions in South America and is from Chicago, 0:26:11.875 --> 0:26:15.275 and is a Chicago White Sox fan, and has been 0:26:15.315 --> 0:26:18.435 located not just in newspaper photos taken during the White 0:26:18.435 --> 0:26:21.155 Sox appearance in the two thousand and five World Series, 0:26:21.155 --> 0:26:24.915 but appears on the video of the Fox broadcast of 0:26:24.955 --> 0:26:27.715 the first game of the two thousand and five World Series. 0:26:29.435 --> 0:26:31.955 I'll get back to the White Sox part in full 0:26:32.115 --> 0:26:35.035 in a moment. And yes, I am trying to figure 0:26:35.075 --> 0:26:37.715 out if this means when he was just father Bob, 0:26:38.475 --> 0:26:42.395 the new Pope used to watch me on sportseedter or 0:26:42.475 --> 0:26:45.155 on the World Series telecast that I anchored in ninety 0:26:45.195 --> 0:26:48.235 seven and two thousand, in which the White Sox did 0:26:48.315 --> 0:26:50.915 not play. But for now, let me just quote our 0:26:50.955 --> 0:26:54.675 own Nancy Faust, stadium organist at the White Sox games 0:26:54.715 --> 0:26:59.155 all those years when the Pope was in the building, 0:27:00.555 --> 0:27:04.755 who noted dryly that little did she know, but all 0:27:04.835 --> 0:27:17.195 that time she literally had a papal audience. Thank you, 0:27:17.315 --> 0:27:21.915 Nancy Faust and your holiness the Maglio or Doniez fan 0:27:23.595 --> 0:27:28.715 Robbie Jenks. But first, more importantly, did they really select 0:27:28.755 --> 0:27:32.595 an anti Trump pope? I mean, I know the papal 0:27:32.675 --> 0:27:37.435 conclave is supposedly about discerning a divine message as to 0:27:37.555 --> 0:27:40.675 who you should say the next Pope is, and then 0:27:40.955 --> 0:27:45.555 the vote Diisol got at the annual guild meeting at 0:27:45.555 --> 0:27:49.035 our college radio station. We used to pretend that's what 0:27:49.235 --> 0:27:51.915 drove us to select the new general manager and the 0:27:51.995 --> 0:27:56.755 vice presidents and stuff. I got elected twice in those conclaves, 0:27:56.835 --> 0:28:00.795 So I tend to doubt divine intervention in any election. 0:28:02.035 --> 0:28:05.035 I just think it's obvious. The Cardinals saw a great 0:28:05.035 --> 0:28:09.395 candidate under any circumstances, with an amazingly varied resume, and 0:28:09.435 --> 0:28:13.555 they said, hey, you know what, if we make him pope, 0:28:13.675 --> 0:28:16.795 he will not only replace Trump as the most famous 0:28:16.835 --> 0:28:20.995 American in the world, but he will be a counterweight 0:28:21.195 --> 0:28:26.035 to his evil. If this pope criticizes Trump and advance 0:28:26.195 --> 0:28:29.915 and this entire culture of brutality and vengeance, and we 0:28:30.035 --> 0:28:33.315 believe he already has online, what's Trump going to do 0:28:33.435 --> 0:28:40.955 to him? Slap him with tariffs? He's American, American pope's first. 0:28:42.435 --> 0:28:45.355 I cannot help but think that they saw a need, 0:28:46.035 --> 0:28:49.475 an actual need in the world for something or somebody 0:28:49.515 --> 0:28:54.675 to push back against Trump, and good grief, they actually 0:28:54.755 --> 0:28:58.715 accepted what almost no organization in this whole world has 0:28:59.875 --> 0:29:03.075 the responsibility to try to push back. He is the 0:29:03.155 --> 0:29:06.435 resistance Pope, whether that was the plan or not, he 0:29:06.515 --> 0:29:11.315 is the resistance Pope. And given the papacies abysmal track 0:29:11.355 --> 0:29:15.835 record in the decades between the last Pope Leo's opposition 0:29:15.955 --> 0:29:20.275 to slavery and John Paul the Second's involvement in the 0:29:20.275 --> 0:29:24.315 fall of the Russian occupying force in Poland, it's about 0:29:24.395 --> 0:29:30.595 goddamn time, your holiness. I can only imagine what the 0:29:30.675 --> 0:29:32.995 new Pope is imagining he might be able to do 0:29:33.395 --> 0:29:37.595 to Trump, and with impunity, because on the right, there 0:29:37.835 --> 0:29:42.675 isn't the slightest doubt that the conclave chose Robert Privos 0:29:42.675 --> 0:29:47.515 deliberately as the anti Trump. I mean, they have gone 0:29:47.595 --> 0:29:51.275 nuts and there's nothing they can do about it. This time. 0:29:51.435 --> 0:29:56.115 They can't fire him, they can't get Doge to defund him. 0:29:56.595 --> 0:30:03.715 Elon Musk's cyber truck means nothing to him. If the fundamentalist, 0:30:03.755 --> 0:30:08.675 ecstatic vision snake handlers who support Trump didn't already hate 0:30:08.675 --> 0:30:12.195 the Catholics, they are ready for war now, and they 0:30:12.275 --> 0:30:15.995 can't have one because they could not win one. The 0:30:16.075 --> 0:30:21.155 Trump whisperer of the moment, the astoundingly clownish. Laura Lumer 0:30:21.475 --> 0:30:24.955 replied to the election with just three words, all in caps, 0:30:25.675 --> 0:30:30.595
