00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:19,399
Welcome back, everyone to a new
episode of A Little rom with David Hosania

2
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,480
Molly Hemingway. Molly, guess what
there was big news. The House has

3
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,960
opened up an official inquiry into the
impeachment or what was it called an impeachment

4
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:34,719
inquiry into the President of the United
States. Kevin Carthy has been threatening to

5
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:37,799
do this for a while or talking
about it, and he finally did it

6
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,320
this week. What say you do
think it's a good idea? You know,

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,320
I mean, what do you think
so soon? It seems like this

8
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:51,719
is such a rush. I mean, there's not been a mountain of evidence

9
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:59,640
of receipts and phone calls and government
suspicious activity reports and on the record testimony

10
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:03,959
from multiple business associates identified by name, and I mean, it just seems

11
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:12,200
kind of rash. That was as
I'm sorry, the Molly Hemingway clarion call

12
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:17,959
of reason, rationality and reason is
very crisp and clear. Today. You

13
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,280
sound amazing, Oh, because I'm
recording from Hillsdale's new studios, so radio

14
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:32,400
free. Hillsdale has this like amazing
newly constructed center and I I can't totally

15
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:34,760
hear, but I feel like I
do sound better. I'm here at Hillsdale,

16
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,680
and I come out once a semester, and I knew i'd be out

17
00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:44,280
here for our podcast. So I
gathered my microphone because you know, those

18
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,799
those angry people when I don't have
a good microphone. I was like,

19
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,200
I need to have a good microphone. And I did that, and I

20
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,560
got all the cords to connect with
my computer and then I was touring our

21
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:55,719
new facilities here and I was like, wait, I can record this from

22
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,519
here. It's beautiful, It's wonderful. Yeah, you sound great, and

23
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,560
a lot of or some some listeners
complain sometimes, but you know they have

24
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:06,079
to understand you're usually you're on the
road. You know, you have a

25
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,479
lot of things to overcome to make
this magic happen. But I think there

26
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:14,400
are a few levels here. We
could talk a few different sort of aspects

27
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,479
of this inquiry. We can talk
about We'll get to the evidence part in

28
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,199
a minute. But it looks like
Kevin McCarthy will not ask for a vote

29
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:30,599
on this, which was a precedent
started by Nancy Pelosi. Yeah, in

30
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:36,879
the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
So I think that's I mean, I

31
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,599
think that's unfortunate and it just is
it's unfortunate in the sense that it shows

32
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:46,360
you how you degrade process and you
degrade the importance of what an impeachment should

33
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,479
be about, honestly and the way
it should be held. But do you

34
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,280
think that the problem here might also
be that he just doesn't have the votes

35
00:02:53,360 --> 00:03:00,439
for it, And do you think
that poses a problem for Republicans. Yeah,

36
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:06,360
I don't know exactly why he chose
to follow his predecessors a precedent in

37
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:09,719
not holding an actual vote. They
only have a majority of four people,

38
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,400
which means it has to be unanimous, and maybe it's not there, and

39
00:03:14,439 --> 00:03:17,960
maybe it just was also an amount
of work that he didn't feel was necessary

40
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,759
to put into it given the extreme
payoff of getting things started. Now you

41
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:30,400
have the situation in the country where
after multiple impeachments on the flimsiest of charges,

42
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:38,919
you have the base of the country
or the party just appalled by the

43
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,120
level of corruption going on in the
Biden family, the president's own roll in

44
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:46,520
that. I think it's pretty clear
that while he was vice president, he

45
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:50,240
was intimately aware with his sons of
what his son's business was. He was

46
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,039
meeting with people involved with the business, he was making phone calls on behalf

47
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:59,360
of the business. You have multiple
business associates confirming that Joe Biden was active

48
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,560
and aware that they were selling the
Biden family name based on not Hunter Biden,

49
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:06,639
but Joe Biden. So all sorts
of things, and like the issue

50
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:14,719
with how he did something that benefited
his son's interests in Ukraine, and that's

51
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:17,600
just one of the countries where the
business was operating. So there's a lot

52
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,720
of pressure to just get going on
this, and so I can see why

53
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,439
he why he did it. Well, there's just tons of circumstantial evidence or

54
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,199
even something I don't know what word
would be a higher you know, give

55
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,360
it more, make it more more
serious charge. But it's we should say

56
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,399
that Joe Biden has always lied about
his relationship here, and that that itself

57
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,399
is a is problematic because he said
he had he didn't even know what was

58
00:04:43,439 --> 00:04:46,319
going on, He never knew,
But now we have evidence at least that

59
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:53,000
he almost surely knew and was participating
in some sense. Now, whether we

60
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:56,000
have no proof, why are you
hedging this? I don't even I didn't

61
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,680
even know what you're saying there.
I mean, we have multip bole business

62
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,519
associates confirming that Joe Biden was actively
aware of what's going You had before the

63
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,360
twenty twenty election. You had was
Tony Bobolinski saying that he that he met

64
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:15,519
with Joe Biden and discussed the family
business. That was the level of involvement

65
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,879
that Joe Biden had. He explained, what is obvious to anyone with a

66
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,000
functioning brain, This was an influence
peddling scheme. You gave money to the

67
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,600
Biden family in exchange for favors that
could be granted by the Biden family,

68
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,480
and the power person was Joe Biden. Like, that's it's It's not like

69
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,319
confusing what was going on here.
Everybody knows what was going on. Then

70
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:45,079
you had additional Devon Archer testimony where
he confirmed that the business was influenced pedaling

71
00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:49,279
with the name and that he had
been sent a letter from Joe Biden thinking,

72
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:56,040
you know, talking about his relationship
with Hunter Biden, and that he

73
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,360
called that he would that he would
do these phone calls to show the level

74
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:03,439
of acts that that they had to
the Vice President of the United States.

75
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:09,000
And you have all the suspicious activity
reports, name the money funneling into all

76
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,079
sorts of members of the Biden family. I mean, I don't know why

77
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,600
we're being like coy about it.
It's not really that complicated. It's pretty

78
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,319
blunt what they were doing. Well, I'm gonna I was going to explain

79
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:20,560
I was hedging because I was setting
up myself. Oh, I'm so sorry.

80
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,879
It's okay, it's okay to say, this is why we need an

81
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:28,959
inquiry, Like we have all these
evidence, which i'll call you know,

82
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,079
of wrongdoing. But to really get
the people, to get people under oath

83
00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:38,079
to really have the power to investigate
this properly, you have an inquiry.

84
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,959
There is more than enough evidence for
that inquiry because we already know that he

85
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,560
was, as you say, involved
in this, or we have witnesses who

86
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,920
say that. We have numerous witnesses, some who have been under oath who

87
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,399
say that. But there's other aspects
this as well. I mean, there

88
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:57,720
is, there is the potential and
it looks like it exists obstruction of justice,

89
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,360
which to me is and even speaks
more to the corruption of the government

90
00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:05,560
right now than you know, Joe
Biden's get rich, you know, making

91
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:11,120
his family, you know, getting
his family rich and himself probably so you

92
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,920
know, I think there's a lot
to look into here, and it boggles

93
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,040
my mind. That's someone like ken
Buck from Colorado, and I don't know

94
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:21,079
who else. Oh I have something
about that. Okay, okay, So

95
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,759
ken Buck has been weird recently.
He's from Colorado. He fancies himself a

96
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,639
member of the Freedom Caucus. He
had a bunch of Colorado Republicans who were

97
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,319
just livid about this overreaction to January
six protesters, with putting these people in

98
00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:38,240
jail, and they write a letter
and he writes back this letter about how

99
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,240
everything's totally fine with Jay six protesters
and nothing to worry about basically, and

100
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:47,879
then he's asked about impeachment. He's
like, I think Joe Biden's a good

101
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,720
guy. You know, nothing to
worry about there. So I was asking

102
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,839
some people like what's going on,
Like is he on drugs or what's going

103
00:07:54,839 --> 00:07:56,240
on? And they were like,
oh no, no, no, he's

104
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,000
just very very close to Liz and
Dick Cheney. I'm meant to look into

105
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:07,720
that, telling me, yeah,
I mean, I know, I don't

106
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:09,560
you know, i've met him,
I don't know know him, but I've

107
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,639
been aware of him and I've covered
him for many years because when I was

108
00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,920
in Colorado, and he's always struck
me a sort of weird. And it's

109
00:08:16,959 --> 00:08:24,439
I'm not saying that that someone can't
believe maybe that following going down the road

110
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,639
is bad politically or whatever, but
his claim that there isn't really any evidence,

111
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,319
and it's almost like he makes this, I don't have the quote in

112
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,480
front of him, it almost definitively
says it. And someone else dropped a

113
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,000
you know, an anonymous quote to
like Politico about this another House member,

114
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,240
which sounded kind of like him,
but who knows. That boggles my mind.

115
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:50,399
There's there's far more evidence here of
wrongdoing of corruption than there was for

116
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:56,360
the first Donald Trump impeachment, which
was over over the wording of a phone

117
00:08:56,399 --> 00:09:01,639
you know, wording of a phone
call. So I don't know, I

118
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,919
sense and I'm not one of these. Yeah, yeah, I'm just looking

119
00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:07,639
on this right now. If my
feeling about ken Buck was always that he

120
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,559
just wasn't that bright, you know, he kind of is goofy, foolish

121
00:09:11,639 --> 00:09:15,480
kind of person. He doesn't seem
to have much strategy or whatever. But

122
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,960
I just looked up ken Buck and
Cheney and there are all sorts of stories,

123
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,840
like from the Denver Post praising him
for backing Liz Cheney and for condemning

124
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:30,440
people for removing the anti Republican Liz
Cheney from Republican leadership, and got lots

125
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,279
of favorable coverage from left wing media. Then there's a picture of ken Buck

126
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:43,639
being twenty seven years old working for
Representative Dick Cheney. Interesting he ran for

127
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,320
it's a skate. I think he
ran for Senate. I forget exactly,

128
00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:52,519
but it was funny because I think
he went to Princeton, maybe Princeton Law

129
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,080
or something. Is no way that
ken Buck went to Princeton. I think

130
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,679
went to Princeton entrepreneur. That is
a very sad statement on Princeton. I'll

131
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,360
look at up later. But in
any event, he came home and he

132
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,960
you know, he put on the
cowboy hat and kind of like, you

133
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,759
know, was a tea party or
than he was this and he was that.

134
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:11,679
He's not like a reliable person.
I don't want to you know,

135
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:18,399
kembucks kembuck. But the point is
you didn't have did you have any Democrats

136
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:24,279
who were where? You know,
like like did any Democrat not go along

137
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:26,639
with the impid? Like why didn't
Pelosi have a vote. I don't think

138
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:30,200
it was because they weren't enough votes. Just I don't even I don't even

139
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,759
remember, do you, I don't, I mean, I remember it was

140
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,799
a big deal. It could have
been that she didn't have the votes.

141
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:37,200
I mean, at the time,
people probably thought you had have a real

142
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,960
reason to impeach someone, and maybe
there were enough people where they were not

143
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,600
keen on it or they thought it
wouldn't be politically advantageous. You know.

144
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,960
It was amazing about that impeached that
we talked to that Russia collusion for it

145
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,759
was years right already, and then
they impeached him on some other thing that

146
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,039
had nothing to do with it,
like out of the blue. It was

147
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:03,840
just so insane. Anyway, we
didn't even pause on that. The first

148
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:11,559
impeachment was because Donald Trump had a
phone call in the presence of Alex Vindemann,

149
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,279
who is very close to the Ukrainian
regime and also was working in the

150
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,080
National Security Council, which she is
not, you know, not the greatest

151
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:28,679
moment of American management there where he
talked about how the Bidens were involved in

152
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:33,000
some of the massive Ukrainian corruption that's
going on, and he asked them to

153
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:37,960
look into it. And that was
viewed as worthy of impeachment, so it

154
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,440
was kind of preposterous. It was
more about how they had intended to impeach

155
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,840
over the Russia collusion. They had
Mueller testify. Mueller clearly didn't know what

156
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,879
day of the week it was or
what his name was, and it all

157
00:11:50,919 --> 00:11:54,600
kind of ended up in a horrible, horrible mess for them, and so

158
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:58,960
they just immediately glommed onto this other
idea, which sort of seemed good at

159
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,919
the time. We now know that
the Biden family is completely involved in the

160
00:12:03,919 --> 00:12:07,600
corruption in Ukraine, and we had
to impeach someone for asking questions about that,

161
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,120
supposedly. It's interesting. Yeah,
I didn't like the way he went

162
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:16,480
about asking those questions, so I
didn't really feel like it was something,

163
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,919
you know, something I want to
impeach every present, So everything I think

164
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,200
is impeachable in some sense, but
I didn't think that rose to the level

165
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:30,080
of what normal American would believe should
be an impeachable offense. And later learning

166
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,759
how crazy Vinman was or is in
the sense of not you know, just

167
00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:39,480
politically how he is and just how
he acts, I mean, he is

168
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:46,320
not a reasonable person, and basing
any kind of impeachment on his testimony seems

169
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:52,480
ill advised. But let me ask
you this question. I think politically it's

170
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,519
not going to make much of a
difference. But I, you know,

171
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,120
I don't think it hurts Republicans at
all to move forward on this. But

172
00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:01,679
there's a lot of you know,
there's a lot of handwringing in certain quarters

173
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,039
about how this isn't the right thing
to do and so forth. But how

174
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,360
do you think do you think it
matters? I think this probably brings the

175
00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:13,200
news to more people who don't even
know what Biden's been the Biden family has

176
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,559
been up to. That's how I
look at it. So I genuinely think

177
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,399
it's awful to trade influence in exchange
for policy. You know, the allegations

178
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:28,240
that we know about involve paying large
sums of cash for money, other transfers

179
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,360
of wealth to the Biden family in
exchange for what they could get from Joe

180
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:37,360
Biden. We already have him bragging
on tape that he happened to push bully

181
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,399
Ukraine in a quid pro quo to
use the you know, obsessive language of

182
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,000
the first team pagement for the firing
of a prosecutor who is looking into the

183
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,320
company that his son was getting a
lot of money from and that's just you

184
00:13:52,480 --> 00:14:00,679
cannot have a country where corruption is
that open and blatant and nobody does anything.

185
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,600
But My far greater concern, and
it also relates to Joe Biden,

186
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,120
is what our Department of Justice did
to cover it up. I think that's

187
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,080
actually a much bigger issue. Any
buddy on Earth who had the level of

188
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:20,080
either corruption or corruption seeming activity around
them like the Bidens would be, who

189
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,879
was a Republican, would be absolutely
destroyed by the DOJ. And they have

190
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,919
done so much to protect him.
They have hidden all these investigations. They

191
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:37,960
have been participants in election rigging schemes, like claiming that the Hunter Biden laptop

192
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,720
which was full of information about the
Biden family business and the corrupt people who

193
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,840
were part of it, but that
was not real and it was Russian disinformation,

194
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:48,120
even though they had had that laptop
for years like that, you know,

195
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:52,080
their year at that point, and
they knew that it was not Russian

196
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,480
disinformation. Like I am so deeply
concerned by the Department of Justice and the

197
00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:03,879
FBI and their intimate role in this
corruption scandal and how it has continued under

198
00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:11,080
the Biden administration, but really how
this law enforcement and ridiculous intelligence agency are

199
00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:15,399
doing so much to destroy the country. And so I really really hope that

200
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,720
this impeachment inquiry doesn't just look into
this like stupid family, but also what

201
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:26,559
our own government has done to protect
corrupt, to protect corrupt people, and

202
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:35,639
to go after non corrupt people.

218
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,399
Yeah. I mean, you need
a commission, you know, you need

219
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,480
a commission to really get to the
bottom of that. And I just don't

220
00:16:53,559 --> 00:17:00,000
see any sort of real effort you
think, by part and buy in to

221
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,759
to really look at that sort of
abuse. And that's not going to happen

222
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:07,359
in this, in this in the
contemporary times. It's not something that's going

223
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:12,920
to happen in the past. It
might have because I think there's I mean,

224
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:18,200
it's clear to me that there's if
there's a it's cover up too stronger

225
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,839
words, you're gonna tell me.
You always tell me, you're going to

226
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:25,240
tell me it's not. But I
mean, just thinking about the investigation into

227
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:33,319
Hunter Biden and the special process,
you know, the Special Council designation,

228
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,200
which was unneeded, and now we
hear that there's going to be gun charges

229
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,119
and stuff like that. Just it
is clearly been slow walked. I mean,

230
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,920
we have whistleblowers who say so.
I always feel like this should be

231
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,079
two separate investigations one and like you
sort of insinuated just now or said that

232
00:17:47,519 --> 00:17:49,240
we should have an you know,
a commission looking into the FBI and the

233
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:55,880
DJ and we should have an impeachment
inquiry into the Biden family. But I

234
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,079
don't know. I mean, obviously
he's not going to be removed even if

235
00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:06,039
he's impeached. So this is more
I think a way to let to circumvent

236
00:18:06,079 --> 00:18:08,200
the media maybe and let a lot
well. I think it makes a challenging

237
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:11,799
I read a little bit about what
the media said. There was this ABC

238
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,759
or CBS or NBC, I don't
know, they all blend together for me

239
00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:21,400
saying despite the fact that there's no
evidence wrongdoing from the Biden family, Republicans

240
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,920
impeach. I was like, right, Yeah, despite the lack of evidence

241
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,279
except for the email traffic, the
photos, the contemporary evidence, the suspicious

242
00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:34,839
activity reports, the on the record
testimony, be on the record claims with

243
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,160
other people, Yeah, except for
all those things, there's really not much

244
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,920
there you know, certainly, it's
not like the Russia collusion hoax, which

245
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:48,160
was built on the imagination of people
with no evidence. It's not like notthing

246
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:56,799
like that. But oh yeah,
My point being, it'll be more difficult

247
00:18:56,839 --> 00:18:59,000
for the media to do that,
even though they're doing it right now,

248
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:02,240
it'll be more difficult for them to
do that over the long term when facts,

249
00:19:02,279 --> 00:19:07,440
information come out, when there are
when there are televised hearings. You

250
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,799
know, it'll be just hard for
them to continue their lives. I'm not

251
00:19:10,799 --> 00:19:12,519
saying they won't continue, but it'll
be more difficult. So I think that

252
00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:17,880
is a big feature of this.
There's another aspect to this that always annoys

253
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:25,960
me. It's that they constantly say
there's no incriminating evidence pointing to Joe Biden

254
00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:30,319
benefiting himself from this. But listen, if I am doing something corrupt or

255
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:34,440
illegal to enrich my kids and my
wife and my you know, and my

256
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,160
brothers and everyone in my family,
that is still corruption. I mean,

257
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,920
you know, money, As I've
said before, it's fungible just you have

258
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,559
this sort of family enterprise. I
don't care that there's no you know that

259
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,519
Joe Biden, there's no account somewhere
where Joe Biden's name on it. There

260
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:56,079
might be, But I'm just saying, even enriching, you're helping enrich,

261
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,720
which we know he did your son
in the shady deals using the office of

262
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:06,279
the Vice presidency is at the very
least corrupt, if not illegal. So

263
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,160
that's bad enough. You don't even
need any more evidence. Yeah, even

264
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,119
if it was just paying for his
son and his son's family, that would

265
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,599
be very bad. You also have
Hunter Biden claiming repeatedly that he was paying

266
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,240
his parents' bills, and I think
you have evidence toward that as well,

267
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,839
that he was paying them money for
rent and so, you know, like

268
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,839
kind of exorbitant amounts for that.
So we'll see when the House looks more

269
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,000
into this. It is insane that
journalists have not looked into this more.

270
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:38,640
I mean, Washington Post, New
York Times of course, have the resources.

271
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,920
They could put hundreds of journalists on
this. You might remember when they

272
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,799
sent like twenty seven reporters to dig
through Sarah Palin's trash cans, Like they

273
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,680
have the resources they need. They
were sending people to Russia and to Czech

274
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,240
Republic and you know, regurgitating every
silly anonymous league that they were getting from

275
00:20:56,279 --> 00:21:00,119
the FBI and Department of Justice,
like they had words of reporters on that

276
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:04,920
they've had nothing on the Biden family. It has gone from there's nothing there.

277
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,240
I never spoke to anyone. He's
completely clean, to hey, what

278
00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:12,480
he did wasn't illegal. There's no
you know, direct tangible evidence that he

279
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:17,640
himself took money. I mean,
the goalposts have been moved miles already,

280
00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:22,039
and I don't you know, who
knows where they end up. Anyway,

281
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:25,200
it's going to be because one other
thing about the compeachment inquiry, which is

282
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,119
it needs to go to it to
some kind of end, Like, yeah,

283
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,759
they only have a four vote majority
in the House and Democrats are pretty

284
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:37,519
much in lockstep in supportive corruption.
Apparently the Senate is controlled by Democrats.

285
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:41,680
The media aligned against him. But
I would hope that at least if the

286
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:45,400
inquiry could lead to thinking about how
you fund you know, say, the

287
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,920
Department of Justice or FBI, or
whether they really need to have their budget

288
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,279
increased as much as they want,
and like all that would be really important

289
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:56,799
too. Y. I mean,
if I were if we had real journalists,

290
00:21:56,799 --> 00:22:00,079
they would get a Democrat on and
they would say what where I would

291
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:03,799
say, I would ask them what
exactly would be enough to convince you that

292
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,920
Joe Biden did something wrong? And
that I list, you know, do

293
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,559
you need a bank account that shows
money going to visit enough that he helped

294
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,799
someone in his family make money?
Like what level of corruption is acceptable to

295
00:22:15,839 --> 00:22:19,480
you or not acceptable to you?
As far as impeachment goes, I suspect

296
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,359
that there's nothing you can do that's
going to get a single Democratic vote.

297
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:30,079
Shoot a man on Fifth Avenue.
Anyway, today, let's go to let's

298
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,079
move on. As I said before, it's going to be crazy. It's

299
00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:36,279
going to be crazy. All the
trials, the impeachment, everything that's going

300
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,279
to go on into there'll never be
There's never been an election like this before.

301
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:44,200
It's just going to be insane,
and that's good. I'm looking forward

302
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,720
to it. Can I say one
thing about that election issue, which I

303
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:51,599
plan to write about, But I
do love when you ask me if you

304
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,599
can say something every week and I
tell you you're the boss. But yes,

305
00:22:56,839 --> 00:23:02,119
So I was thinking about how there
are these pillars for what makes for

306
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:07,720
a free and fair election, and
it can get kind of complicated, you

307
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,359
know if you're not letting certain people
registered to vote, do you have a

308
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,799
free or fair election? But one
of them, one of the main ones,

309
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,359
is are people allowed to vote for
the candidate of their choice? And

310
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:21,000
we routinely condemn other countries for not
allowing people to vote for the candidate of

311
00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:25,759
their choice. I think it was
like twenty nineteen in Moscow. They did

312
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:29,400
not let the opposition party the opposition
to putin. They did not let them

313
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,680
on the ballot. And I think
they did it on the grounds of they

314
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,000
had been in they've been organizing illegal
protests and they were rioters, and so

315
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:42,240
therefore they couldn't be on the ballot. And we and everybody every other civilized

316
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:51,160
country condemned this as a violation of
elections and made for unfree and unfair elections.

317
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,160
And you right now have very prominent
people in the Democrat Party and the

318
00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:03,359
media and other regimentities working to move
the primary political opponent from the ballot.

319
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,480
It's essentially canceling elections. I mean, if you say you can vote for

320
00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:12,480
whomever you want as long as it's
a Democrat or someone we approve of who's

321
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,319
not a Democrat that we think is
okay to be un vote. That's not

322
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:21,119
a free or fair election. It's
essentially canceling. It has the effect of

323
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,359
canceling the election. And people are
openly talking about it as if it's not

324
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,319
this horrific, awful assault. And
I know you're not as big of a

325
00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:33,400
fan of democracy as many other Americans, David, but these are people who

326
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,319
claim to care about democracy and they're
just trying to remove their opponent from the

327
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:41,480
boat. I just don't treat you
know, democracy as a you know,

328
00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:42,880
as a right, as a riot
or a sacred religious, you know,

329
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,400
religious process, because has a lot
of bad results. But anyway, I

330
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,400
want to get into that, but
I will say I agree with you.

331
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,000
I think people this is why I'm
against term limits actually an age caps and

332
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:56,759
stuff like that. People should be
able to when they do vote, vote

333
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:59,839
for whoever they think, you know, want to vote for. And this

334
00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:07,480
fourteenth Amendment, these lawsuits using the
fourteenth Amendment to take Donald Trump off the

335
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:12,440
ballot because he has participated in an
insurrection to overturn the constitution is first of

336
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:19,240
all, it's complete nonsense, because
a Donald Trump has not been convicted of

337
00:25:19,279 --> 00:25:23,440
any kind of insurrection or anything of
the sort, not even if he was

338
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:29,319
convicted on any of these charges that
are you know, these indictments that are

339
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,599
late, you know, out there
right now. I don't think any of

340
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:36,119
you know, none of them would
rise to the level of him participating to

341
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,079
an insurrection, even if he was
found guilty. And I think there's a

342
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,119
Colorado as a suit and Minnesota as
a suit, and hopefully the I mean,

343
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,119
I feel like the Supreme Court will
overturn them. But I agree with

344
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,839
you. These people who keep telling
you how important democracy are won one party

345
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,799
rule, that's what they want.
I mean that the Biden's speech, the

346
00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:59,599
semi fascist speech that he gave before
the mid terms, was an argument for

347
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,880
one party rule. I hear this
all the time that if Republicans win elections,

348
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,680
democracy is over, which is a
weird argument to make. You have

349
00:26:06,759 --> 00:26:10,319
to vote for our party and only
our party, or democracy is in you

350
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,559
know, imperiled. So yeah,
I mean they've been making this argument for

351
00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:17,160
a while now and it's not even
really an argument. It's just an authoritarian

352
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,799
way to look at the world.
So so yeah, I agree with you.

353
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,000
And even before twenty twenty, I
mean, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Ship,

354
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:30,920
these people said that if if Donald
Trump won the election, that it

355
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,079
would not have been a fair and
election because he cheated in some way and

356
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,400
democracy would have been over. So
I don't even know how these people compean

357
00:26:38,519 --> 00:26:41,839
thing. Remember Trump was like,
if I win, is fair, and

358
00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:48,559
if I don't win, it's not
fair anyway. Yeah, but yeah,

359
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,799
that is that isn't is annoying.
Hopefully the Supreme Court knocks it down and

360
00:26:52,880 --> 00:27:00,160
we can get over over over that
dumb argument anyway. This week to pretty

361
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:07,119
dramatically change topics right now, this
week, there were was a hearing in

362
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:14,559
the Senate on banned books. Molly, you know, Republicans are banning books

363
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:22,559
all over the place, and Dick
Durbin was up there saying that it was

364
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:27,960
a lie that Republicans have, you
know, spread that that that anyone wants

365
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,799
any kind of pornographic material in any
library or any school. So I had

366
00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:37,200
tweeted out at the time. Then
when I saw that that the best way

367
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,000
to prove this would be to read
some of the books like lawn Boy,

368
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:45,000
I forget what the names of these
other books, read it into the congressional

369
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,599
record and see see see how it
feels. Of course he wouldn't do that,

370
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:56,680
but Senator Kennedy from Louisiana did do
that, and it was great watching

371
00:27:56,799 --> 00:28:03,839
left wing twitter, uh tweeting Kennedy
saying, you know all this stuff which

372
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:10,319
streamely graphic, graphic ten year olds
engaged in sexual activity and and so on,

373
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:21,279
it is unquestionably pornographic material. It
wouldn't even be it's beyond pornographic.

374
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:25,759
It would be like child pornography.
Right, Yeah, the book lawn Boy

375
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:33,039
is basically child it's child pornography.
It's masquerading is educational content as child pornography.

376
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:36,000
And it's not the only book.
The other you know, there are

377
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,119
other books like gender Queer. Uh, it feels so good to be yourself,

378
00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:47,559
Like these books are pornographic. And
anyway, he was reading it,

379
00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:51,839
and left wing twitters like can you
you know Kennedy's having a normal one,

380
00:28:51,839 --> 00:28:56,680
and like mocking him. And but
the thing is, I think he proved

381
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,480
a point. I mean, you
can read, yes, yeah, No,

382
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,519
their mockery of him just proves the
point that this is not something that

383
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,559
any kids should be able to read. But I just wanted to make one

384
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:10,880
quick point that I think a lot
of people missed. Yes, it's pornographic,

385
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,240
but even if it wasn't pornographic.
I don't want my kids, or

386
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,359
I wouldn't want my kids if they
were young learning all of these pseudoscientific gender

387
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:25,640
terms and nonsensical verbiage and idiotic thinking
in schools. I should have a choice

388
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,559
and so should other parents, to
not have this read to them now.

389
00:29:30,559 --> 00:29:34,519
It is pornographic because it is organically
pornographic, because this is all about sex.

390
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:44,559
But it's not just about the pornography. The Watchdogo on Wall Street podcast

391
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,559
with Chris Markowski. Every day Chris
helps unpack the connection between politics and the

392
00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:52,119
economy and how it affects your wallet. Ever heard of Goldilocks? Remember,

393
00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:56,039
bad news is not good news.
No matter what they claim to say about

394
00:29:56,119 --> 00:30:00,319
biodynamics. Unemployment is still rising,
wages remain stagn and job numbers are now

395
00:30:00,359 --> 00:30:04,039
revised. There's still no soft landing
with this plane. Whether it's happening in

396
00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:07,960
DC or down on Wall Street,
it's affecting you financially. Be informed.

Check out the watchdild on Wall Street
podcast with Chris Markowski on Apple, Spotify,

398
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:18,759
or wherever you get your podcasts.
So frequently when people are talking about

399
00:30:18,839 --> 00:30:23,000
the appropriateness of a given book for
a given age that gets referred to as

400
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,640
book band. So if someone says, I'm okay with my kids learning best

401
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:27,799
sex, but I think it's to
be high school where you learn this,

402
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,200
not kindergarten, people say you're banning
a book. Or if you think,

403
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:36,680
like, oh, this book is
more appropriate for fourth grade instead of kindergarten,

404
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:40,640
they claim you're banning a book.
It's so stupid, because of course,

405
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,240
every single person in the world has
any number of books that they don't

406
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,799
think are appropriate for in general or
for a given age group. But I

407
00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:53,880
had seen this done at school board
meetings where you'll have left wing operators,

408
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,519
and I don't like the idea that
it's Republican or democrat because a lot of

409
00:30:56,519 --> 00:31:03,160
these parents are not Republican. They
just don't want their children groomed for weirdness

410
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,240
at the school library. And they
might. You know, it doesn't require

411
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,640
a particular political persuasion necessarily to be
opposed to that, and the school bird

412
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,480
will denegrate these people who want to
have a discussion about these books, and

413
00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:21,400
invariably a parent will start reading at
the school board meeting the books. They

414
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,720
will get kicked out, sometimes arrested. They will have their mics shut off,

415
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:26,559
and it's like, oh, so
it's not appropriate to say it at

416
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:30,359
a public meeting of adults, but
it is okay to shove it down your

417
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,240
kid's throat. Really, that's your
argument. So I'm glad that Senator Kennedy

418
00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,960
read it. I had no idea
when I first someone sent it to me.

419
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,160
I was like, what is going
on? Like why is he what

420
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,160
could he possibly be doing here?
I had no idea there was this hearing

421
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:52,079
going on. But yeah, they
cannot show on television what he said.

422
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,640
They cannot show it on the radio. They cannot play it on the radio.

423
00:31:56,119 --> 00:31:59,759
And that is a very powerful thing
to say. We were discussing whether

424
00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:04,319
kindergartner should have access to something that
we actually can't show you on television.

425
00:32:05,079 --> 00:32:08,200
Kind of wins the argument for the
people who we're making it. Yeah,

426
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,839
the Illinois Secretary of State was there
when this was being read, and he

427
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,319
said that that sounds disturbing coming from
me or mouth. Well you know what,

428
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:20,559
it would sound disturbing for me coming
from anyone's mouth into school in front

429
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:23,160
of kids. And thank you for
mentioning the book band thing. That book

430
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:30,240
bands are a book band is a
euphemism for curating a library like my book

431
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,960
books are in your books are not
banned in schools or school libraries. They're

432
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,440
curated in a way that doesn't have
them. Maybe they should, I think

433
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:43,960
they should, but I mean I've
challenged people, just name me any of

434
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:45,599
one of these books, and I
will have it to you literally overnight,

435
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,200
and it will be on your front
porch by by tomorrow, because they're not

436
00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:52,799
banned. But I will say also
that a lot You're right, it's not

437
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:58,680
just a part, isn't part is
an issue. A lot of parents in

438
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,000
these schools in Virginia, Yea and
elsewhere, you know, fought back and

439
00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:08,920
were abused by school boards. Listen
the suburban mom and dad, like you

440
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,079
know, they're they're scared to be
called bigots. And this is the kind

441
00:33:13,119 --> 00:33:16,400
of you know, terrorism for lack
of a better word, that these left

442
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:22,160
activists engage in. They continually change
what it means to be a bigot,

443
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:25,519
to be phobic of something, and
they use this to cow, you know,

444
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:30,279
and lord over people who don't don't
want it in their schools. So

445
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:34,480
also parents need to stand up and
like they can't care about their kids.

446
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:37,319
Who cares if someone calls you a
bigot or phobic because you don't want your

447
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,759
kids groomed for sexual activity at a
young age. Like, I don't care

448
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:45,640
what you call me. I really
don't. I'm protecting my kids and I

449
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,720
don't care about my reputation among the
people who think it is okay to do

450
00:33:50,759 --> 00:33:54,039
that stuff. You don't care enough
about your kids, and you should just

451
00:33:54,079 --> 00:34:01,119
like really reevaluate your life. Yeah, obviously, I think this also plays

452
00:34:01,119 --> 00:34:06,720
into issues of the importance of school
choice, but I just don't. I'm

453
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,679
not just talking about vouchers. I'm
talking about local communities or states or whoever

454
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:16,360
being able to control their own curriculum, curriculum and teach kids what they think

455
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:22,679
is is right. So that also, by the way, goes for pseudohistories

456
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:28,760
that that kids are being taught that
across the country that aren't pornographic, They're

457
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:35,159
still not the truth. Just like
this gender trendy gender pseudoscience isn't isn't truth

458
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:37,039
either. I wouldn't want to teach
my kids things that weren't true, even

459
00:34:37,079 --> 00:34:39,639
if they you know, and if
I believed in this, you know that

460
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:45,800
that you know, whatever these people
believe. But anyway, I'm so happy

461
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:51,480
he did it. I just wonder
how many people will we'll hear about it,

462
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:57,400
because there are so many stories out
there about banned books and what you

463
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,239
know, library associations could do about
people want to band books and listen some

464
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,679
of these some of these activists go
overboards sometimes and try to get rid of

465
00:35:05,679 --> 00:35:09,039
books that are classics. But the
you know, the Life was doing that

466
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:13,800
with Mark Twain and others for years
and years already, So I don't know,

467
00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:17,320
Yeah, I would not. I
would expect the propaganda press to continue

468
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:22,559
their lives. I've been shocked at
how effective some of that against Ronda Santis

469
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:27,719
has been, where normal people who
would think do a better job of reading,

470
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,360
underlying, you know, reading the
source material, have accepted the New

471
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:37,719
York Times version of events that he's
some kind of book banner. But you

472
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:43,360
have to everyone should be fighting that. I mean, it's real life propaganda

473
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,760
in the sense that it is the
definition of prop one of the you know,

474
00:35:46,599 --> 00:35:52,079
main thrusts of real propagandas repeating something
over and over until people start believing

475
00:35:52,159 --> 00:35:57,679
it and speaking and you know,
and using the phrases and words like band

476
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,920
books. It's like the media is
this propaganda, you know, real propaganda

477
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,679
outfit, and they just keep,
you know, bombarding you with these with

478
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,840
these phrases, and people start picking
them up, and it's really difficult to

479
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:15,400
fight back. Can I fear into
something else that's probably a little awkward to

480
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:20,400
talk about, and it's also about
the media, So let's do it.

481
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:27,760
Yeah. Last week, Tucker Carlson
on his do we call it X yet?

482
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,719
Or? Is a stream eat that
name? X? I like Twitter?

483
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,760
I thought Twitter was a great name. X makes it sound dirty and

484
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,760
weird, and I don't like it, But yes, I guess we call

485
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:42,679
it X or is everybody's X formerly
known as Twitter. It's like someone someone

486
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,519
pointed out, I forget who that
it's going to be weird when that X

487
00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:49,719
bill shows up on your American Express
bill and you have to explain it to

488
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,840
your wife, you know. But
so Tucker Carlson interviewed a guy named Larry

489
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:59,360
Sinclair who claims they smoke crack and
slept with Obama in nineteen ninety five.

490
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,199
I think I'm multiple, maybe twice
or something like that. Now. I

491
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,719
don't like to talk about stuff like
this, honestly, but I would like

492
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:15,440
to talk about the media dimension of
it. Everyone was disgusted by this.

493
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,920
This is just terrible, you know, unethical, like just that, you

494
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:23,079
know, is the low Tucker Carlson's
lowest moment, you know, just terrible.

495
00:37:23,559 --> 00:37:28,719
And you know, I just don't
see any difference between this and how

496
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,679
I do see a difference, I'll
tell you in a second, but just

497
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:35,800
substantively. I don't see a difference
between what Tucker did ask some question from

498
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,119
someone who was making some claims,
and what the entire media did do it

499
00:37:38,199 --> 00:37:43,679
with Christine, with the cabin,
all the accusers of Brett Cavanaugh, some

500
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,199
of them far less credible than others, though none of them credible at really

501
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,840
at all, or what they did
with Donald Trump and the pe tapes,

502
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:57,920
which I went and looked, was
mentioned in some way in every major you

503
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:06,960
know outlet, right. I do
not like to traffic in unsubstantiated allegations about

504
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
people's sex lives. I think that's
wrong. I don't understand how any member

505
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,880
of corporate media can say that they
also think that's wrong when that's all they

506
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,400
do. I mean, that's all
they do. I hadn't even thought of

507
00:38:19,519 --> 00:38:28,440
the p tape example. But in
the case of Christine blasi Ford, no

508
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:36,920
one ever substantiated that claim that she
had. You had her naming four other

509
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,559
people who were there. Not one
of them, including her best friend,

510
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:45,360
said that they could could agree with
her about what happened, and one of

511
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:50,599
them actually came to doubt her story. You know, it wasn't just that

512
00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:53,440
she couldn't remember it. She remembered
that summer really well, and she did

513
00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:00,559
not remember any such thing like that
happening. And she yeah, So the

514
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:04,679
Washington Post turned that into a series
of articles. They ran the campaign against

515
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,920
someone who was a very well respected
federal judge of twelve years, who had

516
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:13,719
gone through multiple background checks, was
a very pious and you know, like

517
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:20,960
honorable husband and father. And I
don't find these particularly credible about Barack Obama.

518
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,199
But you know it's not because he
hasn't admitted to doing drugs. You

519
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,960
know, he was a member of
the Chum gang and he had a reputation

520
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,920
for doing cocaine. Also, it
came out a few months ago, actually

521
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,599
came out years ago, but it
kind of recame out a few months ago

522
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:42,199
that he had told multiple girlfriends that
he had fantasies about gay sex. In

523
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,159
one letter, he said something like, I have sex with men every day,

524
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:52,039
but only in my mind, and
nowhere did the media say that those

525
00:39:52,079 --> 00:39:55,800
things made his made this. Larry
Sinclair thinks some more credible. In the

526
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,039
case of Brett Kavanaugh, who had
like nothing but character is like up and

527
00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:04,960
down the Eastern Seaboard, they ran
wild with a story and accused him of

528
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,840
being a serial gang rapist roaming the
streets of suburban Maryland. When a woman

529
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,119
claimed, in fact that he was
a serial gang rapist who took part in

530
00:40:13,199 --> 00:40:17,400
like repeated parties to gang let a
gang rape cartel, she said, the

531
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,159
Washington Post said that she was a
highly credible, very respected person, and

532
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:25,079
she wasn't. First off, It's
just like they said with Christopher Steele that

533
00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:29,920
he was like beyond reproach. He
wasn't. That wasn't true. And I

534
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,039
thought that that might be what Tucker
was doing, by the way, in

535
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:37,880
having this interview, to just showcase
how corrupt our corporate media are. What

536
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:45,639
they're willing to do with much less
solid circumstances. Well, you'll you'll definitely

537
00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:49,199
remember, but listeners might not that
a book had come out of after Kavanaugh

538
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,719
controversy, I'll call it and written
by two New York Times reporters, and

539
00:40:54,760 --> 00:41:00,239
they didn't they have a someone who
accused Kavanaugh, or they said there was

540
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:07,000
a victim of a Kavanaugh assault,
but the person herself couldn't remember the incident.

541
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:09,159
Is am I getting that right?
No, But I want to tell

542
00:41:09,159 --> 00:41:12,760
about this because I don't think I'm
not sure if I've told about this before.

543
00:41:13,159 --> 00:41:16,880
So Kerry Savorino and I wrote the
national bestseller on the Kavanaugh confirmation,

544
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,400
Justice on Trial, so it was
like the number one book in the country.

545
00:41:20,599 --> 00:41:22,480
We really wanted to get out before
all these other books were coming out.

546
00:41:22,559 --> 00:41:27,440
Every left wing journalist was going to
try to do what they did with

547
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,239
Clarence Thomas. So like with Clarence
Thomas when they ran that smear campaign against

548
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,760
him, and at the end of
that, nobody really believed his accuser.

549
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,000
Everybody believed him. They just were
like, well, that's fine, We'll

550
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:43,079
spend the next thirty years pretending like
it was true and relitigating it over and

551
00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:44,960
over and over again. So we
kind of knew that would happen with the

552
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,880
Kavanaugh situation, and I really wanted
to get my hands Carrie and I really

553
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,239
wanted to get our hands on the
other books before they came out so that

554
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:59,480
we could read them, because as
you know, nobody reads books that come

555
00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:01,719
out, so I just by act
of reading them, you can can break

556
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:06,000
a lot of news and stuff.
So someone I know went to a local

557
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:08,000
bookstore ahead of the release of that
book, which was by these two New

558
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:12,440
York Times reporters. It was called
The Education of Brett Kavanaugh, and she

559
00:42:12,559 --> 00:42:15,360
just asked for a copy of the
book, and they should not have given

560
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:19,679
her one, but they gave her
a couple of copies, and so I

561
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,920
was able. So we just purchased
them early and we read them. And

562
00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:25,599
it was at the same time that
the press campaign was coming out for this

563
00:42:25,639 --> 00:42:30,079
book. The New York Times published
that there was another woman, but if

564
00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:34,400
you actually read the book, it
was clear that there wasn't another woman.

565
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,760
There was a left wing activist who
claimed that he knew of a woman,

566
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,079
and in the book it admits that
the woman herself is like, I have

567
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:45,719
no idea what you're talking about.
So the New York Times published that there

568
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,880
was another accuser and that she was
very credible and all this stuff. It

569
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,840
wasn't even true based on their own
book, and it was supposed to be

570
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,280
a huge, huge release and we
broke the news before it came out that

571
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,239
it was not true. I think
those two reporters probably hate Carrie and me

572
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:06,880
for what we did. But anyway, yeah, so yeah, but so

573
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:12,760
then the victim herself could not remember
the alleged attack. But victim, yeah,

574
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,960
alleged. I mean, she wasn't
invicting all right, now, this

575
00:43:16,039 --> 00:43:21,480
person. I'm sure that these two
reporters got uh, you know, we're

576
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,519
on every in every you know.
I'm sure the book was reviewed all over

577
00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:25,719
the place, and I'm sure they
were interviewed all over the place, even

578
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:30,639
though it didn't do very well,
you know. But so here's what happens

579
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:35,480
what the media does when you have
some like the let's talk about the PE

580
00:43:35,599 --> 00:43:37,440
tape. I hate to talk about
the TP tape. I'm going to talk

581
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:42,800
about it. So I went through
every story, or not every story,

582
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,039
but many of the big stories that
had mentioned it, and they do it

583
00:43:45,039 --> 00:43:50,360
in this kind of underhanded way where
they are like, well, someone brought

584
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,880
it up, so is it fake
or real? We don't know? Or

585
00:43:54,039 --> 00:43:58,039
New York Times column here's the headline, lordy, is there really a PE

586
00:43:58,199 --> 00:44:00,239
tape? You know? Real or
fake? It was either way allegations of

587
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:05,280
lou tape poses challenge for Trump.
So what they do is without verifying,

588
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:09,320
without doing any journalism, they spread
the story all over the place. And

589
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:16,199
when something happens like this where a
Democrat is being accused, they then it's

590
00:44:16,199 --> 00:44:22,239
a completely different process. They deploy
fact checkers, they contextualize things, reporters,

591
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,639
columnists, you know, you know, and so forth. I hate

592
00:44:25,639 --> 00:44:30,159
it that every single time we speak, we're talking about double standards. But

593
00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:37,039
I just don't understand how we can
go on when this is how the press

594
00:44:37,079 --> 00:44:42,360
functions. It's just impossible for us
to trust anything they say. And the

595
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,679
Tucker interview just reminded me of that. I don't know if he did it

596
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,159
on purpose, if he's engaged in
some kind of information warfare. He's a

597
00:44:47,199 --> 00:44:52,880
smart guy, maybe he is,
but it that's what I took away from

598
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:59,119
it is all I want to say. Yeah, great, So, since

599
00:44:59,159 --> 00:45:02,199
we're on the Supreme Court, I
want to bring up another edious story and

600
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:12,960
the Supreme Court this is about so
maybe so Justice Samuel Alito has been the

601
00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:15,920
you know, the target, one
of the targets. But a Maine I

602
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:21,079
would say, after Clarence Tom it's
the main target of people who are looking

603
00:45:21,119 --> 00:45:25,559
to de legitimize the court and to
smear the justices, And then do you

604
00:45:25,559 --> 00:45:29,880
want to explain this? So yeah, I actually think it's kind of interesting

605
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,079
because he's been on the court for
so long. You know, as an

606
00:45:31,079 --> 00:45:35,960
a point, you have George W. Bushes and has always been a pretty

607
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,920
powerful force on the court, but
he's not had Justice Alito has not been

608
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:44,039
like in the news as much as
some of the other justices were, And

609
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:47,119
while he was not getting paid much
attention to, he was quietly reshaping the

610
00:45:47,159 --> 00:45:52,519
court. So like most dramatically,
he's the author of the Dab's decision,

611
00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:58,400
which takes up like fifty years of
abortion jurisprudence, and you know, does

612
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,280
this like major thing of fixing a
huge problem on the court with the Road

613
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,960
decision. And so now all of
a sudden, there's a there's a ton

614
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,000
of interest. There's the race fueled
hatred towards Clarence Thomas that a lot of

615
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:15,159
the left has had for a long
time. Now, they also hate Justice

616
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,519
Ledo and so they're trying really to
attack the integrity of the court. But

617
00:46:17,559 --> 00:46:22,320
they also practice this thing where you
personalize your attacks, and so those two

618
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,960
do seem to be the primary targets, but not only those two. I

619
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,920
mean, I think people keep forgetting
Justice Kavanaugh and his family were targeted for

620
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:36,719
assassination. He has young children.
They nearly were killed. And this is

621
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,440
a coordinated left wing attack on the
legitimacy of the court, and it's led

622
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:45,079
by people in the Senate and highly
funded outside dark money groups. And Sheldon

623
00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:52,400
white House in the Senate was trying
to get Justice Alito to recuse from a

624
00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:54,639
case. And forgive me, I
don't remember what the particulars of the situation

625
00:46:54,679 --> 00:46:58,400
were. He actually wasn't trying to
get Justice Alito to recuse himself. He

626
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:05,320
was trying to get Justice Roberts to
force Alito's recusal. And Justice Alito wrote

627
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:12,119
wrote into the docket something on recusal
that was so awesome and devastating. It

628
00:47:12,199 --> 00:47:15,119
was sort of began just you know, how things are done or around here.

629
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:20,280
It is up to each justice to
decide when to recuse. And you

630
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,320
don't have someone else, you know, do it for you. You can't.

631
00:47:22,519 --> 00:47:25,159
It's not like from a top down
thing. So just you know that's

632
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,679
how it works. I will also
point out usually you don't say why you're

633
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,239
recusing when you recuse, and there's
there's a we can get into why that

634
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,519
is. But he then goes into
all these oh, I know what,

635
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,239
Yeah, Sheldon Whitehouse that he had
to recuse because he'd sat for an interview

636
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:43,960
with David Rifkin and James Toronto of
the Wall Street Journal, and David Rifkin

637
00:47:44,039 --> 00:47:46,199
is also a practicing attorney, and
he had some issue before the court,

638
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,599
some tangentially thing, and so he
was like, so clearly you have to

639
00:47:50,599 --> 00:47:57,159
recuse. A Justice Alito did this
unbelievable beatdown of Sheldon Whitehouse where he just

640
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,199
listed all the times that justice had
sat for interviews with people who had business

641
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:06,000
before the court. Usually it's left. Usually it's left wing media with left

642
00:48:06,039 --> 00:48:08,679
wing justices, and they do even
like mentioned where one of them had written

643
00:48:08,679 --> 00:48:13,440
a book with a left wing journalists
who had business before the court and didn't

644
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,440
recuse. And it was just,
you know, it wasn't snarky, it

645
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:22,599
was just brutal in its recitation of
facts. Yeah, it should, but

646
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:28,920
here's what happens. Though I think
the case was more versus United States,

647
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,719
like a tax case or something.
It was ridiculous. And the problem is

648
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:36,760
that every outlet then has a headline
that says, sam Alito refuses to recuse

649
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:42,840
himself from case as if there was
ever an expectation of any by anybody,

650
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,840
reasonable person, exactly in the past
now that he should do that. So

651
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:53,280
now for the casual onlooker, it
looks like sam Alito should have or this

652
00:48:53,360 --> 00:49:00,280
question, it will recuse himself from
a case that perhaps even perhaps he should

653
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:05,079
or whatever, when as as he
pointed out, there is no no way,

654
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:09,000
I mean, you know that he
that he should. So it's amazing

655
00:49:09,039 --> 00:49:14,400
because Ruth Bader Ginsburg was like best
buddy is with that person at MPR what

656
00:49:14,519 --> 00:49:19,039
was her name needed She's a book
out now called something like My Journeys with

657
00:49:19,159 --> 00:49:28,239
Ruth. So again, just a
ridiculous double standard. But but they have

658
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:35,440
become so they're just so excellent at
kind of manipulating media coverage of these things

659
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:40,360
that I'm not sure how you fight
back because Aldo's excellent response is going to

660
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:45,719
is not going to be read obviously
by even a fraction you know, of

661
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,559
the of the number of people who
read a headline that says a leader refuses

662
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:55,159
refuses to refuse himself from whatever.
So but yeah, you know, it's

663
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,760
it's like watch these polls where they
ask you, like, which institutions do

664
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,480
trust in the Supreme Court? Trust
level, as you know, continue to

665
00:50:02,559 --> 00:50:08,320
dip, and then the Democrats use
this as more fodder for why there needs

666
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,480
to be ethic or ethics reforms and
so forth. I meanwhile, they are

667
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,920
the ones who are destroying the reputation
of the court. Right, It's like

668
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,199
those Menendez brothers who killed their parents
and then they plied that they should get

669
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,920
leniency because they were orphans. That's
great, right, that's great. Yeah,

670
00:50:23,039 --> 00:50:28,360
No, that's that's a good way
to look at it. All right,

671
00:50:29,119 --> 00:50:35,079
let's talk about culture. Okay.
I have to say I've been somewhat

672
00:50:35,079 --> 00:50:37,360
busy. I haven't done much.
I always say that, and then I

673
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,800
like name like t watch now,
list the twelve TV shows that you've binge

674
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:46,239
watched in the last week. I
am watching a show that's on HBO Max

675
00:50:47,039 --> 00:50:51,719
or is it just called Max I
forget? But it's called Gangs of London,

676
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,880
okay, And it is exactly what
it sounds like. It's about get

677
00:50:54,960 --> 00:51:00,480
some the gangs of London in modern
day London. And it gets really great

678
00:51:00,519 --> 00:51:04,840
reviews. I think it's up in
the nineties on Rotten Tomatoes. I think

679
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,639
it's okay. I mean, you
know, sometimes it takes a little while

680
00:51:07,639 --> 00:51:14,079
we get warmed up get into a
show, but it's okay. I do

681
00:51:14,119 --> 00:51:15,920
want me to do my list,
and then you will do your list.

682
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,239
Did you want to go back and
forth? You can go back and forth.

683
00:51:17,559 --> 00:51:21,280
Okay, what do you want to
do? You go? Yeah.

684
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:25,280
I haven't really watched anything other than
I was supposed to fly to Grand Rapids,

685
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:29,880
Michigan on Saturday, and then we
had storms in DC and they did

686
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,079
a ground stop on the plane and
they canceled my flight. So I suddenly

687
00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:37,119
found myself with some time on Saturday
night that I wasn't expecting. So one

688
00:51:37,159 --> 00:51:40,119
of the kids wanted to watch Lawrence
of Arabia, and we watched that,

689
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:44,760
and, you know, much like
when I saw The Godfather and began telling

690
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:47,039
people that I had seen a very
good movie called The Godfather, I saw

691
00:51:47,079 --> 00:51:53,079
a very good movie called Lawrence of
Arabia, and just cinema cinematographically, that's

692
00:51:53,079 --> 00:51:57,519
how you pronounced that. I was
blown away. I really was. I

693
00:51:57,599 --> 00:52:02,079
just thought some of these shots were
so cool. This shot where someone's kind

694
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:07,320
of appearing on the horizon very slowly. I'm like, I just couldn't believe

695
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,360
like how they did or like a
sunrise, it's just beautiful. I really

696
00:52:10,639 --> 00:52:15,800
liked. I didn't totally love,
you know, like it was also an

697
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,639
interesting story and all that, and
Peter o'tools very interesting, but I liked

698
00:52:19,679 --> 00:52:25,199
it. Was it an email or
a tweet where someone pointed out that you'll

699
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:30,239
like, you'll say something like he
made like Gone with the Wind, but

700
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,199
you'll give it the wrong name,
and then I don't know what you're talking

701
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:37,559
abo. I did nothing wrong that
time. I was like, Oh,

702
00:52:37,639 --> 00:52:39,159
she's going to talk about an old
movie. I'm gonna get to correct her.

703
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:44,480
But you did. Yeah, Lawrence
Raby is beautiful. Is The cinematography

704
00:52:44,559 --> 00:52:47,360
is wonderful, those epics. I
think David Lean made beautiful movies. M

705
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,920
Doctor Chicago. Maybe not a single
woman in that film, and I kind

706
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,840
of liked that. It's kind of
fun to just watch men together. Oh.

707
00:52:57,079 --> 00:53:02,079
Also, there's this part where there's
this tribal leader who Lawrence has work

708
00:53:02,199 --> 00:53:06,639
with him, you know, on
some stuff, and he's looting the train.

709
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,360
The train attack, there's a train
attack, per traded. There's like

710
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:19,119
this Turkish railway that Lawrence would was
attacking and I just learned yesterday that that

711
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,119
train is still there, that the
train that they attacked it it just crashed

712
00:53:22,159 --> 00:53:25,480
and then it's just there still one
hundred years later. But anyway, one

713
00:53:25,519 --> 00:53:30,000
of the tribal guys is looting the
train and he's preparing to go back home,

714
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:35,719
and Lawrence's supervisor's like, how can
you just leave? Like we've got

715
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,440
more work to do, and he's
like, I got what I needed,

716
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:42,719
which is like the loot I now
I'm going home. Don't you go home

717
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,159
when you got what you came for. It's like Lawrence is going to go

718
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,880
home when he gets what he came
for. And Lawrence agrees, and then

719
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,599
the Lawrence's boss is like, I
will not go home when I got what

720
00:53:52,679 --> 00:53:55,400
I came for. And I was
like, oh, that is an early

721
00:53:55,599 --> 00:54:00,119
Neocon, you know, like you
but she your objective and now you're going

722
00:54:00,159 --> 00:54:04,119
to stay for another twenty years.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting.

723
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,960
Yeah, but the British or Neo
Kin's because they bled the places they were

724
00:54:07,079 --> 00:54:10,519
for, you know, to enrich
themselves, or we didn't even do that.

725
00:54:10,639 --> 00:54:15,239
We became poor, a little different
kind of empire. But yeah,

726
00:54:15,599 --> 00:54:19,960
I'm a fan of T. Lawrence, who was, you know, a

727
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:24,960
big fan of the Arab people and
Arab nationalism later but also believed in a

728
00:54:25,079 --> 00:54:29,920
Jewish state, and they believed they
could coexist. So it's an interesting fella.

729
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:35,800
I watched for the first time in
my life, Miss Congeniality, Yes

730
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,559
with Sandra. Very fine film,
very fine film, did you. I

731
00:54:40,039 --> 00:54:43,440
didn't love it. I don't know. I didn't think it was that funny,

732
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,400
but I did. I am a
big Michael Caine fan, and I

733
00:54:45,519 --> 00:54:51,320
just I think it's amazing that he
can base in his career, could play

734
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,039
any kind of role, you know, right, Yeah, He's just amazing.

735
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:58,360
I'm a big Sandra Bullock fan.
I think she does great physical comedy.

736
00:54:58,639 --> 00:55:01,679
I did annoy my friend who who
gave us a tour of the Alamo,

737
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:09,280
by talking about that movie while there, so because there's a pivotal scene

738
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:15,480
at the Alamo. She's likable.
Ah, she is so but she's always

739
00:55:15,519 --> 00:55:20,199
just herself, isn't she. I
guess that's true. But I like her.

740
00:55:20,559 --> 00:55:22,079
I like I like her so I
like I like it when she plays

741
00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:28,920
herself in these rooms. Okay.
I also went to a concert last week

742
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,440
the Ocean Blue. Do you remember
them? No, you don't remember The

743
00:55:32,519 --> 00:55:37,880
Ocean Blue. M it's a good
band. I thought you might like them.

744
00:55:37,079 --> 00:55:42,119
I don't know what it's called.
It's like a particular it's there were

745
00:55:42,119 --> 00:55:44,639
a lot of men there, which
kind of surprised me because it's kind of

746
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:52,199
gauzy, chill music in eighties band. Huh. I listened to them in

747
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:53,920
the nineties. I think that they
were mostly all in the nineties. Oh

748
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,920
yeah, first album is eighty nine
The Ocean Blue. Yeah, that's a

749
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,400
really great album. You cannot tell
me you don't know that. And then

750
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:04,960
it was really in his next And
I had a friend who I thought would

751
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:07,440
really like that concert that I was
going to take her to that concert,

752
00:56:07,519 --> 00:56:10,480
and I got four tickets so that
her husband and my husband and I could

753
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:15,239
all go. And then she moved, so I still enjoyed the concert.

754
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:19,960
It was great. And then earlier
in the week, my husband went to

755
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,639
death Cab for Cutie and the postal
Service, so that was kind of exciting.

756
00:56:24,199 --> 00:56:29,599
And yeah, it was exciting for
you that your husband went. No,

757
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,159
he's just like, you know,
we'd seen them. We've seen both

758
00:56:32,199 --> 00:56:40,679
of those bands, and a younger
part of our lives. But I watched

759
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:50,599
a movie called The Eagle. Never
heard of it. So it stars Channing

760
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:55,000
Tatum oh is that his name?
Yea and some young men. This is

761
00:56:55,239 --> 00:57:00,840
like, this movie's from like a
decade ago. But it's about the disappearance

762
00:57:00,599 --> 00:57:07,719
of the Ninth Legion in Britain,
which is kind of this it's debated,

763
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:12,000
we don't know if that actually happened. But a legion disappears in you know,

764
00:57:12,159 --> 00:57:15,320
Roman legion in Britain and he his
dad led it. So he went

765
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:20,079
to So this person goes to try
to find the Lost Standard, you know,

766
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,159
you know, to to sort of
bring back you know, the Eagle

767
00:57:25,239 --> 00:57:30,119
Standard, to to to sort of
bring back you know, to to bring

768
00:57:30,159 --> 00:57:36,000
back his family's name into and to
uh you know. So anyway, it's

769
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:39,719
the story. It's the worst bitch. I don't I don't even know.

770
00:57:40,039 --> 00:57:45,079
Remember, well, I'm not sure. Here's the thing. If there's a

771
00:57:45,199 --> 00:57:50,360
movie about anything Roman, I'm going
to watch it. Okay. So the

772
00:57:50,519 --> 00:57:55,599
Ninth Standard thing has been It's been
a device in many Roman movies through through

773
00:57:55,639 --> 00:58:00,519
the years. There's another movie called
Centurion, which was with my Chael fast

774
00:58:00,559 --> 00:58:05,079
Bounder as I say his name bender
who which is a better movie I think

775
00:58:05,159 --> 00:58:07,679
than this one, but I will
watch all of them. And The Eagle

776
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:12,280
was okay. It had Jamie Bell. Do you know that is he's kind

777
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:15,480
of like now when he's a little
kid. He was in that. Oh

778
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:17,840
my gosh, I wish I could
remember anyway. That does remind me about

779
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:22,920
the thing I have been watching,
which is only Murders in the Building.

780
00:58:22,239 --> 00:58:25,280
And I think I mentioned too that
I once was talking about how much I

781
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:30,159
loved Steve Martin and Martin Short with
all the fancy women who revealed that they

782
00:58:30,239 --> 00:58:34,199
hated Martin Short, like they couldn't
stand him and they thought he was awful.

783
00:58:34,519 --> 00:58:37,239
Did you see that there was that
guy in Slate last week who wrote

784
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,920
that Martin Short is like the worst, most annoying person ever. Yes,

785
00:58:42,079 --> 00:58:45,920
And it sparked a backlash, and
everyone was talking about how much they loved

786
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,599
Martin Short. I almost want thought
to those ladies and be like, look,

787
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:54,840
one of the stories was so sweet. You know, his wife had

788
00:58:54,880 --> 00:59:00,079
passed away from cancer, I guess
ten years ago, so he was on

789
00:59:00,199 --> 00:59:05,440
like Good Morning America and Kathy Gifford
was that her name? I don't know

790
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,159
anyone's name. Kathy Gifford was like
talking about his wife as if she was

791
00:59:08,239 --> 00:59:10,679
alive, and asked him if they
were still in love, and he said

792
00:59:10,719 --> 00:59:16,239
something like I'm deeply and madly in
love with her, but didn't correct her,

793
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,440
you know. And they asked him
later WoT and he said he didn't

794
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,039
want to embarrass embarrass her, you
know, which is it just seems like

795
00:59:22,119 --> 00:59:29,119
a nice man, you know in
general. And I would say I was

796
00:59:29,159 --> 00:59:30,840
a fan. I like him better. Now, what was that character that

797
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:37,719
I mentioned the other week that does
the interviews, Jimmy Click Jelly. I

798
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,039
cannot get enough of that, that
character. It's just so funny, so

799
00:59:43,159 --> 00:59:47,440
sor right. My kids know him
from when years ago we went to Disney

800
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:52,760
what's the one in Florida World or
Land, Disney World, Disney World.

801
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:57,880
I wrote about it in the Federalist. Actually the piece was called into the

802
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:04,599
Heart of Darkness. And he know
him because he he was like, you

803
01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:09,239
go into this Nations of the World
exhibit and he is the guy who talks

804
01:00:09,239 --> 01:00:17,079
about Canadah. Yeah, there you
go. Sometimes why am I on here?

805
01:00:17,119 --> 01:00:21,440
And what am I talking about?
This is not this is a show.

806
01:00:21,559 --> 01:00:27,280
This isn't just me boring Molly with
my nonsense anyway, good, all

807
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:31,119
right, do you have anything else? No? Lovely talking to We'll chat

808
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:35,760
next week. Yeah and until then. Yeah, people, you forgot to

809
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,440
tell people where the email. And
that's always important because we get the best

810
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:42,639
emails. And it's a I think
radio at the Federalist dot com. That's

811
01:00:42,679 --> 01:00:45,039
exactly where it is. That's where
you can email us. We do.

812
01:00:45,199 --> 01:00:49,800
We get really wonderful emails, like
explaining to me what poor him is about.

813
01:00:50,159 --> 01:00:52,000
Thank you, you were gonna you
were going to tell me this week,

814
01:00:52,079 --> 01:00:54,880
and you almost didn't. I know, I know. It just reminded

815
01:00:54,920 --> 01:01:00,599
me. So you asked me the
Jewish hoey of hor, and why do

816
01:01:00,719 --> 01:01:05,159
people get drunk? And why do
they get dressed up? Right? So

817
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,000
I believed, but wasn't sure that
this was just sort of more recent tradition,

818
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,760
not any kind of real religious reason. It's not like a mitzvah to

819
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:20,599
do it, to get drunk,
you know, it's not a mitzvah to

820
01:01:20,719 --> 01:01:24,400
get dressed up. But so from
what I gather, the drinking part comes

821
01:01:24,519 --> 01:01:29,679
from the Talmud, I think,
where it asks people to be happy,

822
01:01:30,079 --> 01:01:36,679
happy about surviving near genocide, I
guess, and to be happy about the

823
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:39,239
outcome of it. You drink.
You're supposed to drink, but you're not

824
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:43,400
supposed to drink so much that you
do things that are against the tour,

825
01:01:43,519 --> 01:01:46,320
embarrass yourself and put yourself in danger, which I have to say, growing

826
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:51,480
up many people seem to do when
they were doing this. And the dressing

827
01:01:51,559 --> 01:01:55,119
up there is also a traditional thing, and there's some debate over but partly

828
01:01:55,199 --> 01:02:00,679
it's because as to herself basically dressed
up as some you know and hit her

829
01:02:00,719 --> 01:02:04,800
identity in a way. So I
think it might be connected to that sort

830
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,639
of thing, at least that's what
I gathered, but again I'm not a

831
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:12,639
rabbi. Great, thank you very
much. Okay, you're welcome. So

832
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,960
and he lovers of freedom and anxious
for the fray, and talk to you

833
01:02:15,079 --> 01:02:15,519
next week.
