Speaker 3: is approaching, and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's coming here.

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: It's a week away.

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Extraordinary defeat by the US team at the World Baseball

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Classic by Venezuela. By Venezuela. Baseball is a poetic sport.

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: Isn't it. Isn't it? Like you could not have scripted

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: that any better?

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 3: Obviously, the hubris from you know, the United States winning

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 3: two Golds in hockey and the Olympics, and they have

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: been and listen, I love a good shit talk, like

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: you know me.

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a big fan.

19
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: You and I have been to several baseball games where

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: things have come out of our mouths at home plate,

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: umpires and enviers, and so we love a good, you know,

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: a little sports ship talk. So I really enjoyed the

23
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: tet a tete that I had with American hockey fans

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 3: over the past several weeks, knowing what went on with

25
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: between what went on between the United States of America

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: and Venezuela a couple of months ago, knowing the diminutive

27
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: attitude that that country has towards that country of Venezuela.

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: Beautiful people, beautiful people minimize and to watch Venezuela beat

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 3: the United States three two, they don't need extras, Steve,

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: they didn't, They didn't need extra innings. And to see

31
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: the joy in those players, the relief in those players

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: and why they want it, and the poetic justice as

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: you point out, of the United States losing again in

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: the gold medal game of their pastime. And I listen,

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: I can separate mag America from from from better America.

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: I get it.

37
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: But my god, I love that Italy. Italy, Italy almost

38
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: tucked them. I mean that was that was when you

39
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: knew that it was. It was going down. It was

40
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: going down. It's gonna be a tough ques I'm gonna

41
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: be wasn't going to work out, but.

42
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: You know, real quick before I just equip the.

43
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: Side never to miss an opportunity. Our guy Trump, America's

44
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: fascist dictator in chief. Immediately after that, It's like, that's

45
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: my fifty first state.

46
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: That's my fifty first state, Venezuelan, Venezuelan.

47
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: Anyway, how did Venezuela become a state?

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: Dad?

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: It's they won the World Series of Baseball.

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: Son, you had some news that I had not heard

51
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: right as we were we were getting on about Donald

52
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: Trump and a Secret Service agent.

53
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: What's what's going on? And the other thing we have

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: to talk.

55
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: About that I have said over the last couple of

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: days is that.

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: Did you wrote about it?

58
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know any of the details, though,

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to Dean Blundell about it. But

60
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: I was having this conversation at dinner last night with

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: a former US ambassador uh to Argentina, and we were

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: talking about the USS Gerald Ford and the magnitude of

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 1: that story. If it is the case that you had

64
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: you had a US sailor deliberately start a fire to

65
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: burn for thirty hours aboard a nuclear powered aircraft carrier

66
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: in a war zone in the middle of combat operations

67
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: that's been deployed for eleven months, that is that that

68
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: may be the biggest military story of my lifetime. That's

69
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: a that's a that's a huge, huge, huge, huge deal.

70
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: And so I want to talk about that too, But

71
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: what's the deal with the h with the Secret Service agent?

72
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: You know these are You're right, these are two huge stories.

73
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 3: And you know what I I do this Sunday roundup

74
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 3: where I critique, you know, the main five Sunday news

75
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: shows on mainstream media with my friends you, my friends

76
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: at the Save America.

77
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 2: Movement to prove a point.

78
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: But that point is being proven by these two stories

79
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: not getting any traction, no light of day, being disincentivized

80
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: on every major social media channel. Let's go to the

81
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: first one, which you pointed out. I posted at a

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: deem Blundell dot substack dot com yesterday I was sent

83
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 3: a video of the Oval Office.

84
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: In the Oval Office video that I saw.

85
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: It was a Secret Service agent who was walking out,

86
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: a female Secret Service agent who was walking out in

87
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: front of the President of the United States, Donald Trump,

88
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: who is an adjudicated rapist. You know, we can verify

89
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: that he has been credibly accused of sexual predation violent

90
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: in a lot of cases, thirty one different times. We

91
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: know he's in, like I said, an adjudicated rapist. We

92
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: know he's protecting pedophile upon pedophile, which probably most likely

93
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: almost is going to be him as well. And in

94
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: this video, you know, and it's worth context is everything.

95
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 3: This isn't a court, These are facts. These are what

96
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: we know about the individual in this video. Steve, the

97
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: Secret Service agent is walking out. She's wearing a nice pantsuit,

98
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 3: as a Secret Service agent does. And Donald Trump slowly

99
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: puts his hand down on her back, taps her back

100
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: once or twice, and then slowly and deliberately puts his

101
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: hand on her bumb and then starts tapping and feeling

102
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 3: her bumb. Now this video again, you can go and

103
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: get it at Dean Blundell dot substack dot com. This

104
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: video has been suppressed and now has been sort of

105
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: pushed off off of Twitter. You know, I use Twitter

106
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: as a repository for things that you know will come

107
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 3: out hot, you know, the videos that people don't see,

108
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: but we we verify it. And there's a verified video

109
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 3: from the Oval Office of Donald Trump. Patting is what

110
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: appears to be a female Secret Service agent on the

111
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: backside for a.

112
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 2: Prolonged period of time.

113
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: Steve, Like a prolonged period of time, like one that

114
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 3: like if you saw someone and you and I are

115
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: both very similar to this way. If you saw someone

116
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 3: do that to someone in public, or if you're at

117
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: an airport you saw someone do that to, you know,

118
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: an airport attendant. You you'd run and tackle the guy,

119
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: or you'd grab him and say, what are you fucking

120
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: doing dude, why are you doing this? And it wasn't collegial,

121
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: you know, like it wasn't grab him by the you

122
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 3: know what. It wasn't like you know, you pat someone

123
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: on the on the butt, like good job for coming

124
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: off the field, like you see in football and baseball.

125
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: This is sexual assault.

126
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: This was the sitting president of the United States who's

127
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: being investated for sexual predation the likes of which we

128
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: cannot even describe. It is so horrific over a fifty

129
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 3: year period with his friends, Epstein and everybody else. This

130
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: is the same guy who is now an adjudicated rapist,

131
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: which means a judge found him guilty of rape in

132
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: the eg and Carol case. This is a guy with

133
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: thirty one different sexual assaults, some very violent, that he

134
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: has either settled or somehow figured out to put away.

135
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: Literally sexually assaulting what appears to be someone who is

136
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: charged with protecting his life in the Oval office. And

137
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: if you go to my sub stack feed. You can

138
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: watch it, you know, judge for yourself, Like listen, dude,

139
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: I've got I've got a You know, I had a

140
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: ninety seven year old grandfather who used to walk around

141
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: the nursing home grabbing his stuff, asking if anybody wanted cookies,

142
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: and I'm like, you know what. At one point, I'm like,

143
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: I said to my mom, I'm like, he's a clever

144
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: old fella, isn't he. But he literally we found out

145
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: later he literally thought he had cookies in his diaper,

146
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: Like he was like, no, there's cookies here. He's like

147
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: rummaging around, and I'm like, I gotta leave.

148
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: Mom's no good.

149
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 3: So there's only one of two answers here. Donald Trump

150
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: can't help himself. It is so deeply ingrained that sexual

151
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: predation so deeply ingrained in him number one, number two,

152
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: or he's so lost that he's now sexually assaulting people

153
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: in the Oval office because he's that out.

154
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: Of it, like Caligula's den is what the place looks like.

155
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: I was just sitting there with the Japanese Prime minister

156
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: every so that that particular shot, I guess with the

157
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: fireplace in the background and all the gold crusted shit

158
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: on it is that I just find it jarring every

159
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: time to sit there. And I mean it's like Caligula's

160
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: play den. I don't you know, what can you fucking

161
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: say about it? I just think the only thing is

162
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: that I know it's all going to be scraped off

163
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: the wall at five minutes afternoon on January twentyth, twenty

164
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: twenty nine.

165
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: And wow, can we.

166
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: Talk for a second. I mean, you've you know, you've

167
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 3: been a senior advisor of the President of the United

168
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 3: States and the Bush White House. You have ran successfully

169
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: many presidential gubernatorial campaigns, whether it be McCain's primary, becoming

170
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: the guy that went up against Obama lost to Hope

171
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: in a dream, which is a shame.

172
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: He's a good man, you know. A shame.

173
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: And I say a shame because you know, we don't

174
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: have the John mccains of the world anymore.

175
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: If we did, Lindsey.

176
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: Graham might be on the straight and narrow, which we

177
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: talked about earlier. But then, you know, you talk about

178
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 3: what you did for Schwarzenegger, literally turning that that whole

179
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: thing around. You understand diplomacy, you understand it.

180
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: What's that? Oh, you can't hear me. Now you're you're back.

181
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I thought you're a jacking me up

182
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: a little bit. You're like, hey, I.

183
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: Can't off for just a second. Oh okay, but but

184
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: you understand diplomacy. You understand what happens in the White House,

185
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: in the Oval office. Can we just quickly walk through

186
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday where Donald J. Trump was like, hey, hey,

187
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: you know, we struck her in and it was a

188
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: total secret. And by the way, I got a Japanese

189
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: prime minister here, she knows something about secrets, right, I mean,

190
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: you kept Pearl Harbor a secret from me?

191
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: Right?

192
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: And the room dies, and the Japanese Prime Minister takes

193
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 3: a big sky she leans back and she does one

194
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: of these.

195
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: Fuck fuck, that's not what I thought would happen.

196
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: Is that one of the worst, Like, I mean, you know,

197
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: other than going, hey, remember Nagasaki, we keep that a

198
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: secret from you, Heroshima too, right, Like, like I mean,

199
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 3: was that one of the most incredibly bonorific diplomatic moments,

200
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: which is hard by his standard because he hasn't set one.

201
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: I mean, there seems to be no floor, but he

202
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: take me through that in the animal has no.

203
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: There's no governor, there's no restraint, there's no mechanism that.

204
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: Puts a break on his mouth. He's he is.

205
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: A pure ball of jingoistic classlessness and idiocy, just idiosy,

206
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: crazed idiocy, they say, and and what's and she the

207
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: prime minister who just won a resounding mandate. She is

208
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: in the camp of world leaders who think that the

209
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: best way to deal with him is the whole st

210
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: of Oh Donald, only you can bring the peace of

211
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: the world, only you can do it. And so she,

212
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: even after that, is doing all the trump puffery, cure

213
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: stormer ing is what I like to call it. He

214
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: sets the gold standard for it. But the constant appeasement

215
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: of this guy is just.

216
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 2: It's unbearable to watch. It's unbearable to watch.

217
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: And it's so dangerous, it's so dangerous, so dangerous.

218
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: Why why A lot of people are asking the same question, obviously,

219
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 3: you know, having you here as a you know, on

220
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,239
Speaker 3: your own podcast to shed light on as to why

221
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: why do they do this? Why do they pander? Why

222
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 3: do they grovel at his feet knowing that he doesn't

223
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 3: The Emperor doesn't not have any clothes, dude, He's got

224
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 3: no missiles. He's got no plan, he's got no fucking

225
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,239
Speaker 3: friends anymore. I mean, a couple of days ago, he's reciting,

226
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: you know, a conversation he had with an imaginary president

227
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: that doesn't exist, sing, Donia, did you're doing.

228
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: Great in Iran? I didn't have the nuts to do that.

229
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: You do, God bless you keep going, and you know,

230
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: people just continue to believe them. But why do world

231
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: leaders continue to fucking pander to this guy?

232
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: The best explanation, I guess that I that I could

233
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: offer is this is that people come in there with

234
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: a plan, and that plan is we need to get

235
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: some concessions from him on A or B or A,

236
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: B and C and D.

237
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 2: We need these things.

238
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: And in the attempt to get those things, the only

239
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: thing they care about is those things, and they will

240
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: say anything, anything with the cameras on to set the

241
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: conditions to get those things. And the reality is is

242
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: they don't understand the moment is that it's a live

243
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: contact sport. It's like a football game. It's not something

244
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: you can pre plan. You have to be where the

245
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: ball is going to be. You have to tackle someone,

246
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: so you have to be prepared to be in that

247
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: instant part of the show. And so you have Gretchen Whitmer, right,

248
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: we have that, you have that moment with Gretchen Whitmer

249
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: where Gretchen Whitmer is like, you know, with the blue

250
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: folder over her face in the and you have this

251
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: moment with the Japanese Prime minister, you know, your starmer, right,

252
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: you know, here's your giant gold invitation from the king.

253
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: So everybody's plan, uh involves at some level sating Trump. Uh,

254
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, feeding him like he's a tiger through the

255
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: through the cage. I gotta go in there and feed

256
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: the tiger. And uh, it's astonishing, it's astonishing to watch.

257
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: And there's only a couple of people who have handled him,

258
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, have handled him well.

259
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: And and one of them, you.

260
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: Know, of course, was was the uh was the I can't,

261
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: I can't pronounce the name, but it's the you know,

262
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: the the Prime Minister.

263
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: Of Ireland, President of Ireland too. Oh, the sack, the

264
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: te sack yesterday.

265
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He just laughing at him, just laughing

266
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: at he just sit back and laugh at.

267
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 3: Like he's like, let me correct you on a few things.

268
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: And and and then all of a sudden, someone asked

269
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: a question, He's like, well, the resident of Ireland said this,

270
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: and he goes, I hate that. Trump's like, I hate

271
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 3: that guy, and someone's like it's a female.

272
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're in the Japanese if you're the Japanese

273
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: Prime minister, is what the What this shows what's going

274
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: on in the Middle East is that the United States

275
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: it is just and this is it's just more viscerally true.

276
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: It didn't become true because of Iran. It has been true.

277
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: We're just not prepared at any level to fight a

278
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: war in the Western Pacific at all.

279
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and I did.

280
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 3: Do you get to the other story that we were

281
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: going to talk about today, which is how unprepared they are,

282
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: but how much maybe allegedly you know, US members servicemen

283
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 3: and women do not specifically on the USS Gerald Ford

284
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: do not feel like going to war.

285
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: They do not feel like extending their mission.

286
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: And this is one of those stories we mentioned it

287
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: and that I am shocked no one picked up on.

288
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 3: It was originally first reported in a Grecian newspaper called

289
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 3: the Kathaemi, which is, you know, a very well known,

290
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 3: you know, truth telling, fact based newspaper in Greece. That

291
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: not only was the US gerald Ford coming to Crete

292
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: for repairs, it was out of commission. And here's why.

293
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: And this is a fascinating story. Nobody's following, and I

294
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: wished everybody would. If you go to Dean Blundell do

295
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 3: substack dot com, you can check it out.

296
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: But for the past.

297
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 3: Several months, and Ken Harbaugh on the steering committee that

298
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: Save America movement, friend of yours, friend of mine, confirmed

299
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 3: that for the past like six seven months, the USS

300
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: gerald Ford has been on something called a poop cruise.

301
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: Now sounds funny, but it ain't.

302
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: Because you got fifty five hundred servicemen and women who've

303
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: sworn an oath to protect the United States of America

304
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 3: living on a boat where half the shitters don't work,

305
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: and so they've literally been living in greywater. Parts of

306
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: the USS gerald Ford have been shut down and shut

307
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 3: off because they are a biohazard, because the toilets continued

308
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: to overflow. They cannot manage their sanitary slash sewage systems

309
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 3: on this thing, and they haven't been for months, no

310
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: matter how much they complain, And to the point where

311
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: you had men and women literally sleeping on tables and

312
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: floors and rooms sometimes you know, you know, four times

313
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 3: the occupancy over the past seven months. And then they

314
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: get told, hey, listen, we're gonna go to the Mediterranean

315
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 3: and we're gonna start sending some munitions and we're gonna

316
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 3: start supporting Operation Epic Fury. Well, this is where it

317
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: got really interesting, because that poop cruise turned into within

318
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: hours of that deployment, turned into Ah, there's this mysterious

319
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 3: fire in the laundry bay, and that laundry bay in

320
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: no way was in danger of catching fire. Now, the

321
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: USS gerald Ford, despite what Pete Hegseth tells you when

322
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 3: he says, we're doing this for our Lord and Savior

323
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, get on your these friends. Now, what they

324
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: won't tell you is the USS jerald Ford is inoperable.

325
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: It is not prepared for combat in any way, shape

326
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: or form because that laundry room fire, which is being

327
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: investigated as sabotage slash mutiny. As I tell you this,

328
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: that laundry fire has rendered the USS jerald Ford inoperable.

329
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 3: They fought it for thirty hours, they got a handle

330
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 3: on it. Now it is limping to crete in Greece

331
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: for repairs, and those repairs are so it can get

332
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: to the United States of America to be retrofitted because

333
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: that much damage has been done. Now, why you ask,

334
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 3: you know, poop cruise. It's one thing you don't understand morale,

335
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 3: I think unless you've served in the military, and if

336
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 3: you've talked to people in the military, and thankfully I've

337
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 3: got a you know, a Canadian Navy guy that chats

338
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 3: with American Navy guys that talk to me about this,

339
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: and I kind of understand it in a rudimentary way.

340
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: Is that these people have been living in sewage for

341
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: months and the United States military didn't give a shit,

342
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 3: meaning Pete Haggs at the Department of War. And so

343
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 3: the common thinking now is that several men and women

344
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 3: in uniform decided to protest, or you can call it mutiny,

345
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 3: because by any other name, that's exactly what it fucking is.

346
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: By lighting the USS Jerald Ford on fire, it is

347
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 3: now inoperable and an once way to Greece because it

348
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 3: is that fucked up.

349
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 2: This story.

350
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: Is the first of its kind that I know about

351
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: any member of the United States or members of the

352
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: United States military taking action against their own commander in chief.

353
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: If indeed this does bear out to be factual, and

354
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: it looks as if this is the thing that they

355
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 3: are investigating right now on the USS. Jerald Ford as

356
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 3: to whether or not they admit it totally different.

357
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an amazing it's an amazing story and the

358
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: implications of it are huge. You haven't seen stuff like

359
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: that in the US military carry since the Vietnam War.

360
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: Since the nineteen seventies, we had a real crisis in

361
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: the military, real crisis of credibility, including with the American people.

362
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: Took a long long time to rebuild that trust, and

363
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: the military has been a shining example of an institution

364
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: that is evidence that you can rebuild trust in. The

365
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: military became the most trusted institution in the in the country.

366
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: And the implications of a of a mutiny and that's

367
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: what it is. A mutiny at sea where a fire

368
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: was deliberately set to take the ship out of combat

369
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: and put it into port would be a just a

370
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: wow story. And it takes place in this moment where

371
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: there's no journals deployed, UH, there is nobody nobody covering

372
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: America's war UH with the troops, which is which is

373
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: unprecedented and completely completely unacceptable and you know, it should

374
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: be noted as you were talking about the Ford, Uh,

375
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: this is the first of a new.

376
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 2: Class of aircraft carriers.

377
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 1: This is the largest, most sophisticated warship in the in

378
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: the world. And and the plumbing systems, the sewage systems

379
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: don't work on the ship. And it's a metafit for

380
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, for a for a broken military industrial complex,

381
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: a Pentagon that can't pass a annual audit with a

382
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: now trillion and a half dollar budget.

383
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: Uh.

384
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: These ships are not configured to sustain a victory against

385
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: drones by the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands,

386
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: or in the case of Chinese hypersonic missiles, the hypersonic missiles.

387
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: And so it's an incredible it's an incredible story, and

388
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: it'll have huge implications.

389
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: We'll just have to keep an eye and see what happens.

390
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: But we don't.

391
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: We were down one aircraft carrier at a moment in

392
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: time where Trump is talking about, well, we're gonna have

393
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: this marine expeditionary unit sees carg Island, where there would

394
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: likely be some significant casualties to try to lever the

395
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: Iranians into opening the Strait of Hormuz. Before we get

396
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: to two hundred dollars barrels of oil, which will have

397
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: an enormous implication on the global economy regarding Trump's war

398
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: of stupidity.

399
00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: But you know, also, choice.

400
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: You're right, I think you know a couple of things

401
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 3: is that if this bears out, if the investigation, and

402
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: keep in mind, I trust you know the IGRC more

403
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: than I trust you know the military intelligence under the

404
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 3: Trump regime right now. Sorry, yeah, yeah, dude, it's crazy.

405
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: It's crazy that I believe everything that comes out of

406
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 3: the Iranian regime now and I don't believe anything that

407
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 3: comes out out of.

408
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 2: The Trump regime.

409
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 3: So you know, it doesn't matter what they tell us

410
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 3: about the USS, Jerald Ford. We're only going to find

411
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 3: out about this if indeed it was sabotaged by the

412
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 3: people who did it after the fact, and so we'll

413
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 3: wait for that. But out of commission, let's add into

414
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,919
Speaker 3: that USS Abraham Lincoln no longer in the Mediterranean. It

415
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 3: is in the Indian Ocean, thousands of klan or so

416
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: away from the action. And I wanted to get your opinion.

417
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: I watched a great, great podcast subsec Live you did

418
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: with Tara Palmery the other day. We're talking about the economy,

419
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: you know, of this war. We're talking about, you know what,

420
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: what has has caught the United States of America flat

421
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 3: Foot and I read an incredible report out of Ukraine

422
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: Key Independent this morning. They talked about how how drone

423
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: operators from Kiev showed up in the UAE and Qatar

424
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 3: the other day and said, so, tell us how you've

425
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 3: been shooting down these these shah heads. And one of

426
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: the guys who was hosting from Yoe goes, well, we

427
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 3: fired like eight of these Patriot missiles four million dollars

428
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: a missile at this one didn't get it and so

429
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: it hit us. And they excuse me, you shot eight

430
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: three four million dollar missiles at a twenty thousand dollars drone.

431
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 3: They're like, yeah, yeah, and it didn't work. Like you know,

432
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 3: like on the precipice of this, this this life changing

433
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: information that we now have that the United States isn't

434
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 3: just woefully unprepared.

435
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 2: They have no idea what they're doing.

436
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: Neither do anybody that they've sold weapons and arms to

437
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 3: over the past, you know, twenty thirty forty years saying hey,

438
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: yeah we got you, we will protect you. This has

439
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 3: been one of the greatest unmaskings. And I know you're

440
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: proud of American And I don't mean any disrespect by

441
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 3: this or to the men and women in uniform.

442
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: I really don't. This has been one of the great unmaskings, almost.

443
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: On par in a twenty two day period with what

444
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 3: we learned about the Russian war machine. A three dressed

445
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: is a nine or a four telling you they're at ten.

446
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: This is almost the same thing with the United States

447
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 3: of America. And Ken Arbas said something to me yesterday

448
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 3: when we were chatting because we had him and Congressman

449
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: Riggleman on. We were talking about Jerdan warfare. He said,

450
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 3: this is the most embarrassing war I can remember in

451
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 3: US history. I am embarrassed. I am embarrassed because we

452
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: have been shown out and shown up. How much of

453
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: that is part of the conversation in the United States

454
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: where it's like, oh my god, not only are we

455
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: willfully equipped, we haven't been paying attention. Not only that

456
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 3: America isn't the war mongering country that can take any

457
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 3: body and anything anytime they want, because they're now begging

458
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: for help from NATO allies who are refusing to come

459
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: to their aid, even though they say the war is won,

460
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: and they're still getting pounded.

461
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 2: US installations still getting pounded. Friends of Theirs.

462
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 3: Kuwait Uae gas fields in South Pass, the biggest LNG

463
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: gas field in the world, is literally on fire. It's

464
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 3: going to take five years to ramp up to the production.

465
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 3: They've already lost seventeen percent. This is an unmitigated economic

466
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 3: disaster all the way around.

467
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Steve Oh yeah, oh yeah, and it's going to get worse.

468
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: The elections have consequences, and American elections have consequences for

469
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: the entire world. And I think, and one of the

470
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: things I've written about and talked about it was that Trump,

471
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: who claimed he would be a peace president because he

472
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: was a fascist, would always take us to war. And

473
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: here we are, Donald Donald Trump has fallen in love

474
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: with war. And you can chart, day by day through

475
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: a thousand unhinged performances, how it is we got here.

476
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of the Israel, Israel, Israel stuff

477
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: on the how we got here that really sells the

478
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: Saudi short regarding their manipulations of Trump. Billions of dollars

479
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: put into Jared Kushner's pocket. But the United States has

480
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: acted alone, and it acted foolishly, and it acted to

481
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: try to change a regime through air power, which is

482
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: not something possible to achieve. So he's set out to

483
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: accomplish something and he can't achieve it. And now he's

484
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: in a position where's choice's binary forward or backwards, double down,

485
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: or get out, walk away from the table, or commit

486
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: ground forces. And so he's in the position now where

487
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: he looks at the island about twenty miles off the coast,

488
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: carg Island that has the most important Iranian energy infrastructure

489
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: on it, and he has a marine expeditionary unit. He said, well,

490
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: I I sees this island, and I hold really the

491
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: lynchpin of the Iranian economy, their energy economy. I can

492
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: compel them to open the Strait of Hormuz that would

493
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: not be closed but for the military attack and the

494
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: dismissal by Trump of what it was that he was

495
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: told the Iranians would do, And what the Iranians would

496
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: do is try to make the war bigger, to make

497
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: sure that the implications of the war are felt outside

498
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: the boundaries of Tehran, outside the borders of the country.

499
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: And you know, I could tell you, like last night

500
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: walking around in Palm Springs in California. People were out,

501
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: the restaurants were full, and it did not appear if

502
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: that was a slice of Americana that the American people

503
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: are really affected by or caught up in the war.

504
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: But trust me when I say this one is coming home.

505
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: The gas prices are going up, inflation is going to

506
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: go up. There is going to be attacks on the

507
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: American homeland, which is incompetently defended by all of these

508
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: Trump goons, And the implications of this are are very,

509
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: very serious. We have we have net zero job creation

510
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: in the United States. The economy is on the edge,

511
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: and none of this is going to make anything, is

512
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: anything better. You have an appropriation for two hundred billion dollars,

513
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, for Trump's excursion that they just asked for,

514
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: And in the last two months, the country's added to

515
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: trillion dollars to its national debt and right it's at

516
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: thirty nine trillion dollars. And I don't you know wherever

517
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: you sit on these issues. And I'm not an economist,

518
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm not Paul Krugman. I don't I don't have a

519
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: noble prize, and you know, I don't I don't particularly

520
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: pretend to understand right the complexities of the global economy,

521
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: but I will say this is that with thirty nine

522
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: trillion dollars of debt, we're more broke than any country

523
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: has ever been, and our creditors hold a lot of

524
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: leverage over our children's future. And when you when you

525
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: understand what a trillion is, right, we're adding two trillion

526
00:32:53,840 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: dollars in debt in months. Trillion, a million, a million seconds.

527
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, Dino, I'll see you in a million seconds.

528
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: That means I'm gonna see you in twelve days. If

529
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: I got you know, some of the guys we talked

530
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: about off camera, f I'm like, man, I hope I

531
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: don't see that guy for a billion seconds. A billion seconds,

532
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: that's thirty that's thirty three years. If I say I

533
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: don't want to see you for a trillion seconds, that's

534
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand years. That's the difference between a million

535
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: and a billion and a trillion. It's an astonishing number.

536
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 3: You know, and you have a way of helping people

537
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 3: understand the kind of trouble that they're in. But you've

538
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: been in so much trouble for so long, and it's

539
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: been explained away in the United States for such a

540
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: long time that you know what a lot of people

541
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 3: don't understand is who holds that debt and who holds

542
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 3: that debt is mostly the young lady who showed up

543
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: to the Oval Office yesterday to be reminded of Pearl Harbor.

544
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: That was the Japanese Prime Minister. Japan holds trillions in

545
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 3: US debt with T bills. One of the other biggest

546
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 3: holder in treasury bills in US debt is China. Well,

547
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: who else is he threatening on a daily basis, like

548
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 3: the paper tiger he is. And then Canada's number three

549
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: on that list, Canada, the grey white North Governor Mark

550
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: Karney can hit that fucking button at any point in time.

551
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: Everybody's on board. That was the first time you and

552
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 3: I talked, if he remembers about a year ago where

553
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 3: we talked about this bond play that Mark Karney had organized. Well,

554
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 3: that bond play is still ongoing. That is something that

555
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 3: you know, Japan is reaching into their bonds, China's reaching

556
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: into their bonds. They're now selling them as US treasury dollars,

557
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 3: taking their yields and fucking off. And this is the

558
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 3: one thing that doesn't seem to scare the United States,

559
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to scare the Trump regime.

560
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: And part of it, for.

561
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 3: Me, Steve, you know, listen like like you're not an economist,

562
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 3: I'm not a crypto slash bitcoin guy, Like I'm just not.

563
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: But part of it seems to be intentional. Part of

564
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: it seems.

565
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: To be we don't give a shit of oils two

566
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: hundred buck dollars a barrel because we'll figure out a

567
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 3: way to destroy the US economy, replace the FED in

568
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 3: the reserve with bitcoin and crypto and all the things

569
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: that we hold to be important. And Donald Trump actually

570
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 3: is sitting on ten billion in crypto if it's realized tomorrow,

571
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,240
Speaker 3: from all of his profit taking, deal making and bribe

572
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 3: taking from other countries in the Middle East, whether it

573
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: be hotels that you can sell in crypto, whether it

574
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 3: be fucking airplanes that he gets gifted by the Katari

575
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 3: royal family.

576
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: So so part of it. And I love your opinion

577
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 2: on this.

578
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 3: Because you know, for a guy who talks about it,

579
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: it's the economy, stupid, the economy, the economy, economy. The

580
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 3: guy that is screaming at Jerome Powell calling him too

581
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 3: late pal saying you got to reduce interest rates. Seems

582
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: to have no problem with and I'm seeing it in

583
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: the chat, seems to have no problem with gas at

584
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 3: five dollars a gallon, Diesel six seven dollars a gallon

585
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,920
Speaker 3: South Carolina. Yesterday he was eight dollars a gallon.

586
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: And this is.

587
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 3: At Brent Crude being you know, one ten, one fifteen

588
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 3: a barrel today like you know, we're looking at two

589
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 3: hundred dollars a barrel.

590
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: Steve, he lives in a bubble where there's no incentive

591
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: for any person to tell him, Ah, hey, mister president,

592
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: this is a fucking disaster. No one will tell him that.

593
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: And so what he's being told is that this is great,

594
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: We're winning great victory. He's surrounded by enemies. If only

595
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: the press would just cover it fairly. Right, So you

596
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 1: see the Brandon Carr side show, you see all of

597
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: his lashing out at very but again, it is feeding

598
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: the tiger, right when you when you picture Marca, Rubio

599
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: and Vance and all these guys that are all standing

600
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: outside with a piece of meat in their hands, and

601
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: it's like, I'm not feeding them.

602
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 2: You feed them.

603
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: You go in there and tell them so no one,

604
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: you do it, so nobody, nobody tells them anything. No

605
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: one will will say anything to him, no one will

606
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: confront him on any of this. And and he exists

607
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: moment to moment in a in a perpetual present, which

608
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 1: I which I think is one of the great failures

609
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: of the media in this era, the American media, that

610
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 1: that has severed the concept of consequences, that what happened

611
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: a year ago, what happened a month ago, is part

612
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: of why we all are where we are today. And

613
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: so Trump exists in this constant present as if we're

614
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: in a play as opposed to reality, and in reality,

615
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: here we are. And Trump has cornered himself that he

616
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: can't get out of the situation just through bullshit. He's

617
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: either got to double in more or he's got to

618
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: walk back. And you know, and I think this is

619
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: very talent. General Kane, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

620
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: of Staff. And this is why all this shit matters.

621
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: There is no Department of War, and all of these

622
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: men names these institutions, they're legal authorities that are from

623
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: a lawful basis. So we have a Secretary of Defense,

624
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: not a secretary of war. We have a chairman of

625
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: the Joint chiefs of Staff who's the principal military advisor

626
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: of the president and is not in Pete Hagsay's chain

627
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: of command. The general has every ability to go to

628
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: the President and say, mister President, I need a word.

629
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to step out, but I'm not gonna

630
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: wear my uniform and debase it by standing on the

631
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: stage with Pete Hagsath when he talks about troops like this,

632
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: when he talks about war like this, when he uses

633
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 1: a rhetoric like this, I'm not going to do it.

634
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm happy to submit my resignation, but he won't do

635
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: it because he'd rather debase his uniform than displease Trump.

636
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: And that tells you something about the character of the

637
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: military advice that he's getting. And you know for certain

638
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: when you watch a Tulsa Gabbard who gets cornered on

639
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: the question by John Ossoff yes or no, when he

640
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 1: says to where precisely, it's your job to make the determination.

641
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:20,439
Speaker 1: It's not Trump's job. Trump doesn't divine it. But they

642
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: exist in an authoritarian culture now distinct from an authoritarian country.

643
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: The country is not authoritarian, and he doesn't control the country. Right,

644
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 1: he controls the White House, he controls his realm, and

645
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: in that realm, it's authoritarian. It's no different that what

646
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: went on around Saddam Mussein, what went on around all

647
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: of these guys. Oh yes, dear leader, and they are fully, fully,

648
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: fully fully bought into it. And it's disgusting. It's just

649
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: get Jony Ernst. You see he does clip today like

650
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: she's oh, Donald wants peace and love for all the children.

651
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: He just he wants the very the very best. And

652
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: you're watching the guy from Fox and he's doing the

653
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: interview to look and you know, Jony Ernst gout fought

654
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: banging the i think the air Force admiral in the

655
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: the Air Force general in the Navy admiral who were

656
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: the top lobbyists for the air Force, in the in

657
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: the Navy. Yeah yeah, yeah, And she ran, she ran

658
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: for She ran as a hog farmer, right, you know,

659
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,479
Speaker 1: with a castration ad right that you know she's gonna

660
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: go up there to cut spending.

661
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: I mean, she's a christ. You can't make it up, right,

662
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 2: I mean it's incredible, it's incredible. Yeah.

663
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 3: I mean the sycophantic stuff too, doesn't even really just

664
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 3: exist around him and his cabinet and all the proxies

665
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 3: that he sends out, like Jody Earns today going, hey,

666
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 3: if we have boots on the ground, I trust the President.

667
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 3: I trust trust Matelia. But it exists in our media

668
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 3: landscape as well. And on and on Sundays, I do

669
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 3: this this feature.

670
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 2: Called dead air.

671
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: And if you're from radio, you understand what that means.

672
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: It's like when you turn on the radio and you

673
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 3: hear nothing right. It's the same thing. It's what we

674
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 3: see every day on these Sundays news programs. It's what

675
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 3: we see every day in mainstream media. Uh, with this fecklessness,

676
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 3: this inability to hold truth to power, which is that's

677
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 3: an easy one. It's the inability to even follow up

678
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,479
Speaker 3: on a question, even follow up on a lie, even

679
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,920
Speaker 3: follow up on a Trump sycophant that repeats information and

680
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 3: statistics that no longer exists. Like to give Kevin Hassett

681
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 3: any airtime with that shit eating grin on his face

682
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 3: all the time.

683
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: Things are great, He's like fucking back that fire. Things

684
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 2: are great. He's great.

685
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 3: But today's and then another announcement, and I want to

686
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 3: focus on your favorite person, Barry Weiss over at CBS.

687
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 2: I know you love her. Great. It's great for David Allison.

688
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 3: Fully captured network purchased by David Allison for Donald Trump.

689
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 3: You know, a couple of days ago, Pete Hegg says

690
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 3: is screaming at people in a war briefing, going, I

691
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 3: can't wait till David Elison by CNN two. It's gonna

692
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 3: be fucking great. Won't deal with you assholes anymore. Like

693
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 3: that's like the capture of the media network is something.

694
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 3: Today Barry Weise announced she was going to absolutely unload,

695
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 3: I mean, get rid of CBS News Radio done, seven

696
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,479
Speaker 3: hundred people finished, You're done today. We're not doing news

697
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,479
Speaker 3: radio anymore, We're not reporting the news anymore. We can't

698
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 3: control seven hundred people. So we're just gonna get rid

699
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 3: of every single one of you, and we're going to

700
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 3: slowly funnel everybody into this pipeline of bullshit like we're

701
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 3: doing with Tony Depoop Pooh or whatever the guy's name is,

702
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 3: like we're doing with the entire CBS News network. And

703
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 3: if you understand anything about media, fortunate and I've been

704
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 3: in this game long enough to understand that contraction is intentional,

705
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 3: that getting rid of people is intentional. You're a CEO whisper,

706
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 3: you have been for a long time. You've ran multiple

707
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 3: campaigns successful Bush. You understand that when you need to

708
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 3: tighten the messaging, you get as rid of as many

709
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 3: people as humanly possible. And that's exactly what Barry Weiss

710
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 3: at CBS is doing. And I want your thoughts because

711
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 3: CBS News Radio is a legendary platform, a legendary brand,

712
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: and now seven hundred people all their affiliates are out

713
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 3: of work as of today.

714
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that has an implication for a lot of

715
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: rural America, which is a cohort a part of the

716
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: country that Barry Weis doesn't seem to be very in

717
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: touch in with or to care very much about. When

718
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: you read all of the things that she's you said

719
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: over the years, and this consolidation that you're witnessing and

720
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: the political coroner to which it is attached and to

721
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: which it is a part of this entire paramount deal

722
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: from the sale by Sherry Redstone, her settling of the

723
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: Trump suit has been one giant corrupt act. And you're

724
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: going to have Democratic majorities in the Congress, and then

725
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a presidential campaign and I'm not sure

726
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: what the meaning of the labels is anymore. But one

727
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: of the things that I expect and that I hope

728
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:52,399
Speaker 1: to see our serious plants to break up the concentrations

729
00:45:52,520 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: of power that, for example, the Elesons represent, the the

730
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of ownership when you have a family that

731
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: owns you, the Sinclair Broadcasting Network that tried to take

732
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel off the air, all of this threat, all

733
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: of this stuff is a threat to the liberty of

734
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: the of the American people. And it's uncompetitive. And it's

735
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: true across the finance sector, it's true across big tech,

736
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: it's true across the agriculture industry. And so we have

737
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: to have a plan to attack these concentrations of power.

738
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: And this is what the Democratic Party should stand for.

739
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: In my view, it should be a reform party. And

740
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: when you look at what's happening to Christy Nome and

741
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: Corey Lewandowski, now that they're outside of the gates and

742
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: outside of the walls and the natural gravity takes over,

743
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a very hard for a lot of

744
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: these magic people in the decades to come.

745
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:11,800
Speaker 2: I feel like you're going to make sure of that, Steve, it.

746
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: Is, it's the most important political question that's going to

747
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,399
Speaker 1: be It's going to be on the table. We need

748
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 1: to break from the past, an the immediate past. We

749
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: need to get out of this abyss and going into

750
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: a new direction. And what a small number of people

751
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: have done in high government office, every detail of it

752
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: will need to be known. And when every detail of

753
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: it is known, what it is that Christy nom did,

754
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: what it is that Pam Bondi did, What it is

755
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: that when on in these places is going to blow

756
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: people's minds and there has.

757
00:47:58,960 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 2: To be accountability.

758
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I go back to that reference. You know,

759
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 3: we talked about Moff and Maiden a couple of weeks ago.

760
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 3: You know that the the the mob rules and rules

761
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 3: both ways sometimes right, and and you know, I go

762
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 3: back to conversations and Zeff with my grandfather where he's like,

763
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 3: we had no idea until we rolled into Dacaut what

764
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 3: was really going on. You only find out when you

765
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 3: actually seed that territory, when you get it back and

766
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 3: you're able to do an accounting of what's really gone

767
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 3: on at Alligator Alcatraz, or in McCallen, Texas, or on

768
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 3: some of these deportation planes or in these boardrooms, and

769
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 3: these side deals are on air fuck one behind you know,

770
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 3: the relationship with Malania Trump and Jeff Bezos, behind the

771
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 3: relationship of you know, Elon Musk and Doge and what

772
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 3: that did to the United States, to the economy. Two institutions.

773
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 3: We'll find out after. But it's getting there that is

774
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 3: so difficult for so many people, Steve, which is so hard.

775
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 3: But you know, and I have this conversation with people

776
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 3: from time to time who get down. They're like, I

777
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 3: can't watch news. I can't even listen to that man's voice.

778
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: You're watching the undoing and the unraveling of him in

779
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 3: real time as well. According to all the conversations that

780
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 3: we've had, listen, I'm of the firm opinion that you know,

781
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 3: at twelve midnight on a day where the United States

782
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 3: has taken back by the beautiful people of America, those

783
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 3: who love democracy and stand on those principles, that Donald

784
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 3: Trump's name is going to come off the Kennedy Center building,

785
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 3: It's going to come off the board of the Board

786
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: of Peace will stop existing, it's going to come off

787
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 3: the Institute of Peace. And you pointed out earlier to start,

788
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 3: and I loved listening to you say it is they're

789
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 3: going to get rid of that decrepit golden layer that

790
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 3: he calls an oval fucking office too, you know. And

791
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 3: so for for all of you that sit and watch

792
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,959
Speaker 3: this and go when I one eye closed, they can't

793
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 3: handle this anymore. All of the failures of Donald Trump

794
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 3: are coming to fruition and real time, whether it be

795
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 3: SCOTUS and the tariffs, whether it be the U, the

796
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 3: absolute fucking disaster in Iran, and knowing that he is

797
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: absolutely out of answers, out of goodwill, has no fucking friends,

798
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 3: I mean, no one's coming to help him, whether it

799
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,399
Speaker 3: is the death of the United States economy. And yes,

800
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 3: I understand what's the play here, and yes, I know

801
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 3: guess is expensive, but there are so many aspects to

802
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 3: this failing disaster of a presidency. I believe his approval

803
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 3: ratings around thirty three percent overall. I mean, you pointed

804
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 3: this out. What has he got seven to go, six

805
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 3: to go before he's finished twenty six is as low

806
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 3: as he can go. And what I had said is

807
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 3: that by the time we get to the end of March,

808
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 3: he'll be at about thirty percent, and he's going to

809
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 3: be at about thirty percent at the end of March.

810
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 3: And those numbers are horrific, And he doesn't have the

811
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 3: power to cancel elections, he doesn't have the votes to

812
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 3: pass the Save Act, and the American people are in

813
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 3: to render a brutal, brutal judgment on him for these

814
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 3: for these mid term elections. Totally agree, And I think

815
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 3: that's the good news, and I think everybody should really

816
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 3: focus on that. I think, you know, the cacistocracy is

817
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 3: not sustainable. It just isn't lies or not sustainable. What

818
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 3: he's done with the United States of America not sustainable.

819
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 3: And then, you know, you tell the freest country in

820
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 3: the world that, hey, you might cancel their elections or hey,

821
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 3: you know, we're going to decide who votes and who doesn't. Hey,

822
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:27,959
Speaker 3: we're going to change the rules with the Save Act,

823
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 3: which makes it impossible for a woman who change her

824
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 3: name from her birth certificate, tour driver's license when she

825
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 3: gets married to actually go and vote. That's a real

826
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 3: fucking thing, friends, Like it's it's it's the screw turning

827
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:42,719
Speaker 3: within the ns PM seven's and and all of the

828
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 3: different you know, executive orders and you're right. The Save

829
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 3: Act isn't going to pass, no matter how much he screams.

830
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 3: These are all good news stories.

831
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 2: You know.

832
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 3: Uh, the the end is ni It's just a matter of,

833
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 3: you know, will the American public, Will the American people

834
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 3: go full Carnie or not?

835
00:51:57,239 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 2: And I'm hoping that they do.

836
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: And and and look, you know, Barry Weiss and and

837
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: all of that. It's she's Barry Weiss isn't eighty two

838
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 1: years old. She's not you know, she's not saddled up

839
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 1: for her last rate rodeo. She's got a lot of

840
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: miles ahead. And so what's what's Barry Weiss's credibility in

841
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: a room four years from now? Zero?

842
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:20,439
Speaker 2: Right here?

843
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's zero credibility. It's zero credibility. And

844
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: I got to tell you that I I did. I'm

845
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: so impressed by John Osoff, the senator, the senator from Georgia,

846
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: and I think he's a top tier presidential candidate when

847
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: he when he wins this election. But you you look

848
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: at his questioning of Tulca Gabbard and these people, and

849
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 1: I and I love to see it because there it's

850
00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: easy to become to see by the idea that the

851
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: world is permanently upside down and that there will be

852
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: no accountability and the insanity is won the day. And

853
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: what John Osaf reminds you of is that no, no

854
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: is that is that reality will have the final word

855
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: on on all of this stuff here and in his

856
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 1: his method of asking a question, he's really good.

857
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 2: He's really he's really good.

858
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: He's a he's a serious He's a serious fucking dude

859
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: in a in a time where we need serious dudes

860
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 1: in serious dude ads. Uh to to to to to

861
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 1: to lay the wood on these people.

862
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: M M yeah.

863
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 3: I And I think you lost Fetterman a few months

864
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 3: ago on that serious conversation.

865
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 2: To he's a clown.

866
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 3: It I, Darius, is he the greatest disappointment in your

867
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 3: political career.

868
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: I've never been able to stand him right, And what

869
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: what drives me crazy about him is his disrespect for

870
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:26,719
Speaker 1: the for the office. Like I I I am happy

871
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: right as a general proposition that people don't sit around

872
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 1: and suits anymore at at home, right to watch television

873
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: and you don't have to get dressed up to go

874
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: on an airplane.

875
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 2: Suit.

876
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm many casual fridays, But you're a United States senator

877
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:51,399
Speaker 1: wear wear a suit. He's just he's a buffoon, he's

878
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: an oath he's an awful senator. And and he he

879
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: he's not fit for the job in a serious time.

880
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 2: And and I just don't have patience for it. Yeah,

881
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't.

882
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't think politicians should have fans like Britney Spears

883
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,520
Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift. Right, they shouldn't. They never understood they

884
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: should have they should have supporters. There's a transaction, right,

885
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing this for you. Yeah, right, it's a great

886
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: that's the right. You know, do this, you know, do this,

887
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: do the job, do the job. And now we're gonna

888
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: be in a prolonged period where where what goes on

889
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: in our politics really matters.

890
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 2: It really matters, and it's gonna matter for a long time.

891
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, dude, I listen. I always appreciate it. I

892
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 3: wanted to get some thoughts on Telsea Gabbard. I don't

893
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 3: know how much time you have in nowhere almost an hour. Yeah,

894
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 3: maybe we'll save Telsa for another time, unless you want

895
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 3: to talk about because because you know what, I real

896
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 3: quick I heard today rumors that she's getting ready to

897
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 3: hand in her resignation, and because her and Joe Kent

898
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 3: we're a little more than co workers. And yesterday she

899
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 3: literally made a point of trying to separate herself from

900
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 3: the Trump Maine over.

901
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: And over and over and over again.

902
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 3: And I found that to be fascinating inasmuch as she

903
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 3: hurdered herself the day before. You know, it appears that

904
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 3: Tulsa Gabbard is starting to look at, you know, the

905
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,879
Speaker 3: pieces on the Nuremberg chess board and.

906
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,919
Speaker 2: Go all right, A, all right, I might go to jail.

907
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to figure this out like Joe Kent did,

908
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 3: because that was stunning too.

909
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 2: It's such a freak shows. She's she's the.

910
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: She's a member of a cult, yeah, a Hawaiian Hindu

911
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 1: surfer cult. And she's the director of National Intelligence. And

912
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:01,240
Speaker 1: it is a freak show. And and and the only

913
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: only time I see any of these people on a

914
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 1: on a I we have to go through a period

915
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: where senators and members of Congress legislate again where they

916
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,560
Speaker 1: where they passed laws, and one of one of the

917
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: laws that I think they have to pass is that

918
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: you have to raise the threshold for some of these

919
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: jobs that you have to get sixty five votes for

920
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:36,440
Speaker 1: confirmation sixty six votes. Well, whatever it is that that

921
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: there's really no way for a whack job to get

922
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 1: back into these jobs. And she she is just a

923
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 1: whack job that when you see her testifying, sitting there

924
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: with three four star generals and admirals, you just you

925
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: just sit there and you're like, oh, like, fucking what

926
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: can you?

927
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,480
