1 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,160 Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of You Were Wrong with Molly Hemingway 2 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:22,320 and David Harsani. Just a reminder, if you'd like to email the show, 3 00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:26,760 please do so at radio at the Federalist dot com. We love to 4 00:00:26,839 --> 00:00:30,440 hear from you. Molly, do you know what this is? This show 5 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,799 right now? No? But is this show right? It's the hundredth, 6 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,280 one hundredth episode of you Well, look at us. Look what we've done. 7 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,880 That's actually surprising to me. I literally would have thought it was like 8 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:49,320 half that. Really, how long have we been doing this? I guess 9 00:00:49,359 --> 00:00:53,399 about two years? Two years, something like two years. Yeah, a 10 00:00:53,399 --> 00:00:57,159 little less than two years. Great. I mean we had we had we 11 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:02,640 had co hosted the the podcast, asked for you know, like once a 12 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,879 week. I think for a few years before. That's probably like our one 13 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,480 hundred and fiftieth episode together. I would say, Okay, that's a lot, 14 00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:12,000 it's a lot of work. Those are a lot of words. Uh 15 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,760 your math on that was so bad, by the way, I like, 16 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,959 fifty is a nice round number. Sit clear it out there now. I 17 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000 can't add or anything like that. Yeah, so thanks thanks to everybody who 18 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,599 listens. It's great, But go on Yeah, I wanted to share start 19 00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,879 today's episode by sharing a one of my favorite stories of the week, And 20 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,280 here is the headline in the Wall Street Journal, Behind closed Doors, Biden 21 00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:45,680 shows signs of slipping. And we learn, because this is a big surprise, 22 00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:49,480 I'm sure to you and everyone else, that that sometimes Joe Biden like 23 00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:55,959 falls asleep in meetings, speaks so at such a low tone that no one 24 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,920 understands what he's saying, and that occasionally he snaps that people and anyway, 25 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,200 so now we know that he's slipping. First of all, I'd like to 26 00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:10,360 defend him on the snapping at people. All the time people claim or complain 27 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,439 that someone who's got the weight of the world on their shoulders has snapped at 28 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:20,479 someone. Joe Biden's problem is not that he's snapping at anyone. He's always 29 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,360 kind of been that way. You know, he's he's got highs and lows 30 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,159 when it comes to niceness. That's not the big problem we're dealing with it. 31 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,680 So that's my limited. When I read one of those stories about like 32 00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:37,000 some congressoman throwing a shoe at an intern or whatever, I'm like, you 33 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,000 know, it probably deserved it. I mean, I have no problem with 34 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,560 that. We don't engage in such workplace practices here, dear listener, but 35 00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:53,280 mostly because we're virtual, exactly. But the other stuff, I just thought 36 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:58,000 it was an amazing headline and even entire angle to the story. They're like 37 00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:01,919 that thing that everyone in the world, the world can see every day on 38 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:07,759 the outside of the White House. Did you know it's also happening inside? 39 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,960 And I think most people are like, yeah, I assumed it wasn't just 40 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,560 on a global stage that he was slipping. I assumed it was also with 41 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,000 staff or with members of Congress, right, Like, what's even then? 42 00:03:21,039 --> 00:03:24,280 They have to frame it like he said, she said, So it says 43 00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:30,039 the subhead says, participates in participants in meetings say the eighty one year old 44 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,879 president performed poorly at times. The White House said, by and his sharp 45 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:39,000 and his critics are playing artisan politics. I listen, I'd like another defense 46 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:40,759 of him, but go on, sorry, I'll wait for you. I 47 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:45,159 mean, when I'm eighty one, I'm already slipping. I'm only fifty four. 48 00:03:45,319 --> 00:03:47,960 It's sure, I just you know, I can't recall things as easily 49 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,560 as I used to, and we all slow down. I'm sure at eighty 50 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,840 one, I'm going to be much slower. So I think that that that 51 00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:00,360 the age issue is something that matters and something that or should take into consideration. 52 00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:05,560 I hate, actually when people talk about it in terms of age. 53 00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:12,080 I have lots of people in my life at different ages, and some people 54 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,800 are actually kind of slowing down to the point that they shouldn't be taking on 55 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,959 large projects in their late sixties. And other people are you know, Henry 56 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,120 kissingering their way into one hundred and one. You know, So it's not 57 00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:30,879 the age per se. Totally agree where you are, where you are in 58 00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:34,160 your life journey. I totally agree everyone age ages differently, right, but 59 00:04:34,439 --> 00:04:39,000 we can say that at eighty one, it's almost surely the fact that you 60 00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:42,959 have probably slowed down from when you were in your fifties or forties. And 61 00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,680 I should put it like this, nothing that's happening is like surprising, you 62 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:54,000 know, with with Joe Biden, who wasn't exactly the sharpest guy to begin 63 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,160 with, was not the brightest bulb in the senatorial chandelier. Oh that story 64 00:04:58,199 --> 00:05:01,839 also was like he was known for being the brightest bulb in the senatorial chandler. 65 00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:06,120 And I'm like, no, No, that's not true, not of 66 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,040 him. Yeah, there's such a revisionist history about how smart he was. 67 00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:15,600 He was always kind of a goofball and treated that way, and he kind 68 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:20,279 of like but kissed his way into committees early on in his career, and 69 00:05:20,319 --> 00:05:26,360 then he just kind of stayed there because you know, Senator I'm on those 70 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,959 committees particularly well, you know you remember the Clarence Thomas hearings for example. 71 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,839 He's kind of the laughing stock of those and also they were just unethically handled. 72 00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:39,959 I saw to it from Joe Scarborough, who says that he is the 73 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:46,720 sharpest foreign policy mind that perhaps has ever existed. Okay, but I want 74 00:05:46,759 --> 00:05:49,839 to do another limited defense here. As I was reading this Wall Street journal 75 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,920 piece, I just kept thinking, because it's all it's just full of stories 76 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:59,879 from different members of Congress and senators and stuff saying that he is alarming, 77 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,279 not functioning when you're meeting with him, and that is important news, I 78 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,680 guess, for Americans to be told, Like I always think about these echo 79 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,839 chambers where you got a lot of America that's actually somewhat informed, and then 80 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,120 you have a lot of America that like thinks they're informed, but they're watching 81 00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:19,399 like CBS Evening News or something, and they're just kind of getting straight propaganda. 82 00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:23,240 And then you have the people who aren't even watching that. So the 83 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,560 more information the better. However, this guy who everyone's saying can't function in 84 00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:33,759 meetings, you all sure adopted his policy agenda hook line and sinker, you 85 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,240 know, for a guy who you know, we're all sitting here and being 86 00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:39,839 like, no, he's actually not so good on foreign policy. Well, 87 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:43,680 his foreign policy is ruling the world right now. So if you don't think 88 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,199 he's sharp, and you think he's struggling, maybe don't do everything the old 89 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:55,079 man mumbles his way into asking you to do. I think he's just always 90 00:06:55,079 --> 00:06:58,920 been sort of a weak person with that principle. So I don't think they're, 91 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,160 you know, doing what he's mumbles. I think they're telling him what 92 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,560 to do. And I don't mean it in like a conspiratorial way where he's 93 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,000 like a puppet. I just think he's always sort of been a weak man. 94 00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:14,040 Can I read you the line from the story about what you mentioned about 95 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,879 how smart he was? For much of his career, Biden enjoyed a reputation 96 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,279 on Capitol Hill for being a master negotiator of legislative deals, known for his 97 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,360 detailed knowledge of issues and insight into the other sides of motivations and needs, 98 00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:29,639 and for hitting his stride when the pressure was on. I don't think that 99 00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:35,360 that's true. But so the other day, I think, yesterday, Joe 100 00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:40,480 Biden, this is going to be a segue. Are we done with old 101 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,480 timey Joe? So he called Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for the presidency, 102 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,439 a convicted felon for the first time, and said that he had snapped 103 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,000 after the twenty that Donald Trump had snapped after the twenty twenty elections. So 104 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,680 last time we spoke, the conviction of Donald Trump had not been had come 105 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,839 down yet. I think it was the next day what it was at thirty 106 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:09,279 five or thirty six count conviction for a crime or thirty four for a crime 107 00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:13,600 that we do not exactly know, we do not have a handle on. 108 00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:20,040 But the jury convicted him on thirty four council false fine business records with no 109 00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:24,920 predicate crime involved. And for I guess what is it? Influencing an election? 110 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,240 I always laugh when I hear that, Like figure, that's the point 111 00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:33,320 of a candidacy is to influence an election. But what do I know, 112 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,919 Well, particularly since one of the things they alleged was that by doing something 113 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:45,279 in twenty seventeen, he time traveled his way into affecting the twenty sixteen election. 114 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:52,840 Yeah, but Alex Soros and others have noted that the point of this 115 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,000 is to just continue to say Donald Trump is a convicted felon. That's the 116 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,759 point of the whole trial. And now Joe Biden has done that, and 117 00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:03,279 you're going to keep hearing it over and over again. Right. So, 118 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,840 Alex Soros is a big Democrat funder, and he immediately came out and said, 119 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:09,840 guys, what we're all going to do is we're all going to say 120 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,639 convicted felon as much as possible. And it was interesting because so many people 121 00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,360 in corporate media were like, sir, yes, sir, We're on it. 122 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,720 We're going to do it, and it's complete. You know, I'm 123 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:26,440 not pointing out the hypocrisy here so much as the hierarchy of the regime. 124 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:33,000 They have spent years saying that you should not mention if someone is a convicted 125 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,519 felon, George Floyd, stuff like that. In fact, you're supposed to 126 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,799 like downplay all of that and kind of question the system more than the individual, 127 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,279 and then as soon as it's bad Orange man, they're like, this 128 00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:48,759 guy is a convicted felon. We shouldn't let convicted felons vote, or whole 129 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:54,159 jobs. What are you talking about? That's crazy. But I'll just point 130 00:09:54,200 --> 00:10:01,600 out there's been a little bit of pulling on the situation. And one of 131 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,919 the polls showed that Donald Trump did not lose any support, but that Joe 132 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:09,919 Biden did. It was really small, probably statistical noise in that pool. 133 00:10:11,799 --> 00:10:22,120 But any country that has a legitimate legal system that legitimately prosecutes and convicts someone 134 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,240 of thirty four felonies, if everything were legitimate, and if everything were running 135 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:31,399 well, and if the American people had faith in their institutions, it would 136 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,840 be the end of the campaign for that individual, not even close. It 137 00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:41,919 would be worse than the end of the campaign. And nothing is happening because 138 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:48,759 people don't believe that what happened was legitimate, like they already baked it in 139 00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:54,960 to their decisions. Yeah, I think. I mean, my position has 140 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,679 been that none of this will change anyone's mind. I mean, those who 141 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,200 believe these are are good cases and good trials or hate Donald Trump and they 142 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:09,600 don't care, and the others won't. I think possibly some independence can be 143 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,399 turned off by the lawfair, I do think that that's a possibility, But 144 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,559 like you said, the election is about getting your votes out and using all 145 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,840 these Ye. I do believe it very much is election interference, and I 146 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:26,279 believe it really does affect votes. You said some independence might be turned off 147 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,240 by the conviction who are on the fence. Yeah, I also think a 148 00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:33,639 lot of people are turned off by the lawfair. I mean this is historic. 149 00:11:33,799 --> 00:11:35,600 No, I'm sorry, that's what I meant. Yeah. We have 150 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,759 never in the history of this country attempted to put a presidential a major presidential 151 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:48,919 nominee in jail to keep them from winning re election or winning a second election. 152 00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:56,039 Like this is historic, This is horrific, and they wouldn't be doing 153 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,399 it if it weren't going to make a difference. And I don't think people 154 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,519 are quite freaked out about this as much as they should be. The Democrat 155 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:09,320 Party, you know, Joe Biden is trying to jail his political opponent. 156 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:16,679 We ran a stupid impeachment over a phone call about looking into Joe Biden's corrupt 157 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:20,320 prime family. We did an impeachment over that, and we have right now 158 00:12:20,399 --> 00:12:28,759 at this moment, Joe Biden calling his opponent a felony convicted felon and trying 159 00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:35,279 to put him in jail through a series of other prosecutions, some of which 160 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,279 he's in charge of. Like it's and everyone's just kind of like we're just 161 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,759 going on with our day. This is go time. This is bad, 162 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:50,840 Like this is We've hit the really bad part of the story. Debth. 163 00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,639 It keeps you tossing and turning at night. You can't get away from it. 164 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,960 But the truth is the system is designed to trap you. Insanely high 165 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,679 interest credit cards and loans make it nearly impossible to pay off your debt. 166 00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:07,200 There's a new way out of the trap. Pivotal Debt Solutions. Pivotal Debt 167 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,000 Solutions isn't like the old school debt relief companies that string out your debt for 168 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,720 years. They have new, aggressive strategies that can end your debt faster and 169 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:20,320 easier than you thought possible.

Zapmidebt dot com. I do want 176 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,759 to bring up one aspect of this that I think is amusing to some extent 177 00:13:56,919 --> 00:14:03,159 is that are like or you know, also anti Trump types are like, 178 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:09,039 you know, this trial, you know, proves that the judicial system works, 179 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,759 and they're just like, even questioning the judicial system is an attack on 180 00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:16,000 the you know, on the on the integrity of democracy and so on. 181 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,399 Whereas for decades I've heard the left talk about, you know, wrongly convicted 182 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:28,679 people and bad trials and bad juries. Democrats are literally, as we speak, 183 00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:33,080 delegitimizing the top court in the country, attack personally smearing you know, 184 00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:37,120 a bunch of justices they don't like. Then, on top of that, 185 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,080 when everyone's like, well, Donald Trump can appeal it, and there are 186 00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:45,360 really good reasons to appeal this trial and overturn this conviction. They're like, 187 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,679 that is an attack on the system, you know as well, Like they 188 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:54,279 don't you know, it's such selective. Uh, I don't know what to 189 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,759 call it, just you know, it's just complete hypocrisy on their part. 190 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,799 The appeals process, for instance, is part of the it's part of due 191 00:15:00,799 --> 00:15:03,360 process. If you have a batcher. That's why we have those kinds of 192 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,919 checks on the system. And I think that from what I've read, it 193 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,440 seems like he has a very good case to overturn it, though that will 194 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:15,000 probably take a long time. So yeah, I think everyone in the Democrat 195 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,360 Party that's running this effort to imprison their top political moment, they understand that 196 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:26,759 this is likely almost like very very likely to be overturned on appeal, but 197 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:30,320 they don't care so long as the conviction stands through the election, which it 198 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,320 will do. You think that when it's overturned, they're going to be like, 199 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,600 Wow, the system worked. We won't question the judicial system. Now 200 00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:39,200 they're going to say it was you know, they're going to come up with 201 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,159 some conspiracy. It depends on who does it. Like, if the Supreme 202 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,519 Court is overturning it, they'll attack the court. If it happens after Joe 203 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:50,720 Biden wins reelection, they'll be like, oh, see the system works, 204 00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:56,080 because that's all they actually need. So I do also want to point out 205 00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:03,480 that this was such an egregious abuse of our court that even Republicans elected officials 206 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,960 knew it was and actually found a little bit of backbone to speak out against 207 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,440 the constitutional violations. And one of the things that's very frustrating for people in 208 00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:18,360 America is to see just how stupid Republican leaders in particular can be. But 209 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,919 on this case, they actually all said varying degrees of the right thing. 210 00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:29,799 You had strong defenders rule of law, like Susan Collins or Marco Rubio or 211 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,159 Mike Lee. You also had like people who could barely say anything, but 212 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,200 they still said it, like Mitch McConnell. John Dune actually came out with 213 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,480 something okay, met Romney came out with something really good. Like everyone kind 214 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,480 of was like, oh, this is bad, you know, so as 215 00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:51,240 bad as you might think the Republican Party is, And you'd be right for 216 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:53,600 thinking that, Like, at least they did this part well. And the 217 00:16:53,639 --> 00:17:00,639 only people I saw saying anything other than trying to imprison your political opponents is 218 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:03,920 bad and show trials are bad. We're Asa Hutchinson who's not very bright, 219 00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:10,400 John Bolton, who just you know, wants to go to war, and 220 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:15,039 then Larry Hogan, who thought this would be a good way to win the 221 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:18,440 state of Maryland, or just like is so overcome with Trump Patrid that he 222 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,599 came out like ahead of the verdict and he was like, we should respect 223 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,240 the verdict of this show trial. You know, you're supposed to respect verdicts 224 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,599 of show trials, So do that. And that did not go over so 225 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,519 well with the whatever thirty percent of Republican voters in Maryland. He's got a 226 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:41,000 really tricky situation. He needs to get a ton of independence and even probably 227 00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:45,519 some Democrats to win the Senate seat in Maryland. It's an overwhelmingly blue state, 228 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,519 so he really has to emphasize his independence, that he's a total left 229 00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:53,920 wing, you know, Republican all that stuff, and that's fine, that's 230 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,279 just politics, right, but you can't do it at the expense of that 231 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:02,640 thirty percent base or thirty five base you're dealing with, right the Republicans in 232 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,759 the state. So he when he did that, that was exactly what corporate 233 00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:11,319 media wanted, and they immediately began like amplifying it, and they said that 234 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,839 if you criticize him, it's suicidal. You need to have people who hate 235 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,200 the Constitution so long as they have an R by their name, and you're 236 00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:22,960 you know, you can't be stupid about this. But I think he got 237 00:18:23,039 --> 00:18:29,200 enough of a brushback pitch that hopefully he won't continue down that road too much, 238 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,920 or if he does, you can just sort of safely ignore him and 239 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:37,440 not support him with money or votes. What do you think I would want 240 00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:40,839 him, no matter what he says, to win, because I think running 241 00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:45,839 the Senate for the RS is a hugely important thing, especially when you think 242 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,720 about the judicial branch and the attack on it. So you know, I'd 243 00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:52,920 be willing to, you know, forget anything. Literally nothing he could say 244 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,920 that would cause you to not support. He could say that he would not 245 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:03,920 support judicial appointments of the Donald Trump presidency or approve Biden judicial appointments, which 246 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,119 he may well do if he was in the Senate right billion percent to do 247 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,000 that. But you're saying, just if he gave the vote to put like 248 00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:15,119 John Thune in, is Mitch mcconnald two point zero as long as he does 249 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,039 that, you're fine with him. Listen, as long as I think Republicans 250 00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:22,480 having being able to stop. You know, I always talk about this with 251 00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,599 people say Republicans do nothing, and I agree that they do very little. 252 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,720 But one thing they have done often, especially under the Obama administration when they 253 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,640 were running it is stop an alternative history, counterhi history that would have been 254 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,599 even much much worse than the reality we live now, and that to me 255 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,279 is pretty important. Yeah. Do I wish they were like complete constitution loving 256 00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:45,160 conservatives all over the Senate? Of course I do. But you know, 257 00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:47,880 Maryland, if you can win Maryland, that's a huge victory. I don't 258 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,559 care how bad that Republican is. I just want to say I personally called 259 00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:56,839 on Larry Hogan to run for the Senate publicly in September of last year. 260 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,559 I am not one of these people who's like, oh, he's so bad 261 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:03,400 on Polo. He cannot be part of the Republican Party or anything. For 262 00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:07,759 all the reasons that you just said, right, he could possibly win. 263 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,319 At the very least, he causes Democrats to spend a lot of money and 264 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:17,039 time to keep that seat. You can't do that if you're not like it 265 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,319 just there's there're the there's the principled reason why you should not support show trials, 266 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,279 and it's a very important one, and I would hope that regardless of 267 00:20:23,319 --> 00:20:27,759 politics, people would oppose show trials. Okay, so he should he should 268 00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:33,200 hold on. He should be principled on it, but he also politically should 269 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,720 be savvier. You know, if Mitt Romney can come out there and be 270 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,119 like, this is a atrocity, you can you can meet that standard. 271 00:20:40,559 --> 00:20:44,119 If Mitch McConnell is like this, nuver should have helpened, this is bad. 272 00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:45,839 You know, you can meet that standard. You don't have to be 273 00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:52,720 you don't have to be Mike Lee, you know, talking about the Constitution 274 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,400 and really being bold about it. You don't have to be that level of 275 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,759 you know, principled. But you have to at least come up with a 276 00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:03,960 little something or else you start losing the whole point, which is building together 277 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,119 a coalition of Republicans, independents and maybe even a few Democrats like you have 278 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:12,160 to. You can't sabotage the biggest part of your base and expect to do 279 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:18,000 this plan of winning Maryland. It's a heavy lift for him. You know, 280 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,480 Maryland does have rural areas where people are very conservative, you know what 281 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,119 I mean. So I hear what you're saying. I'm not saying it was 282 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,279 the right way to go. I'm just saying if I was a voter and 283 00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:32,440 I lived in Maryland, I would probably vote for him no matter what he 284 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,599 said, just so that Republican control the Senate. For me, that would 285 00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:38,359 be the key. But I agree with you. I also think there's a 286 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,359 way to balance this. You can say, listen, you know whatever, 287 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,400 I hate Trump, but you know we have a judicial system and has to 288 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,519 be upheld, and we can't have show trials. I mean, it's not 289 00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:53,279 that big a lift, right. I wanted to say, even some Democrats 290 00:21:53,319 --> 00:21:56,200 I think are a little put off by this. I saw David axel Rod, 291 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,880 for instance, say this is not the sort of thing that we should 292 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,759 be putting a presidential candidate in jail. He wants to have the convicted felon, 293 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,720 you know, the words in front of Donald Trump, but he does 294 00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:11,400 not actually want to follow through on it in any real way because I think 295 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,000 he realizes, as a bit of an old timer, right, he realizes 296 00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:18,160 this corrodes the system in a way that we can never come back from probably, 297 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,880 but also that it's kind of it's kind of crazy, especially on this 298 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,400 kind of trial, at least that's what he says. I well, also 299 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,000 want to say, Eugene Debs was thrown into jail by the Wilson administration, 300 00:22:30,519 --> 00:22:37,880 said major major party, I know, I know, and and so yeah, 301 00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:41,519 and Wilson was basically a fascist. So I just wanted to point that 302 00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:45,599 out. And but what I'm saying is, if Donald Trump is convicted and 303 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,000 has to serve time, he can still run. I think he could still 304 00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:52,559 win. I can still win from jail. I think he can. In 305 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,400 fact, that might be the point where a lot of independence are like, 306 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:03,720 this is nuts. I think it's been interesting to see some global leaders react 307 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,960 to the decision negatively. And I raised this point on Friday on Special Report. 308 00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:17,640 But one of the reasons why the US has had such moral authority internationally 309 00:23:17,839 --> 00:23:21,920 is that we do hold ourselves to a higher standard. You know, imprisoning 310 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,119 your political opponent, running show trials against your political opponent, nothing about that 311 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,599 is even like remotely weird in human nature. People do it all the time 312 00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:37,279 all over the world, particularly in Venezuela and Russia, and you know, 313 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,440 third world dictatorships and bascist kind of like it just happens all the time. 314 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,960 But what made us special was that we didn't do it. And so when 315 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,640 we would say, hey, you can't cancel an election just because you're you 316 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,240 can't remove this guy from the ballot just because you're afraid he's going to win, 317 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,759 and you can't run show trials against this guy just because you are afraid 318 00:23:56,799 --> 00:24:00,759 of how popular he is, that meant something. I mean, would not 319 00:24:00,039 --> 00:24:06,920 world leaders laugh in our face if we tried that with any of them. 320 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,559 Doesn't help, that's sure. I mean, I forgot to say one thing 321 00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:15,279 though, if I quickly could about you know, Democrats saying, you know, 322 00:24:15,319 --> 00:24:18,480 we have to respect the judicial system and the judicial process and this, 323 00:24:18,559 --> 00:24:22,920 and that I do. That's why I'm against what happened here, because Alvin 324 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,519 Bragg ignored what the judicial system is for. He politicized the system. He 325 00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:32,319 you know, he the jury ignored the law. The judge ignored the law. 326 00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:36,200 I just should have said that backwards. The judge ignored the law and 327 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,400 then told the jury to ignore the law. And so yeah, I care 328 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:45,000 about the judicial system. That's why I think this trial is ridiculous. And 329 00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:48,559 there's nothing wrong with saying that. You know, we respect the Constitution, 330 00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:52,920 not a judge. We respect a judge because he upholds the Constitution. If 331 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,440 he doesn't, I don't have to respect that judge, and I don't have 332 00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:57,039 to like treat him with any respect at all, you know what I mean. 333 00:24:57,319 --> 00:25:03,799 It's just they have it all at backwards. Yeah, is that a 334 00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:07,480 curse? That's why my mom My mom always said that, and I felt 335 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,319 that meant it wasn't a curse because she's not a cursorus. Do you want 336 00:25:11,319 --> 00:25:17,400 to turn the turn the page here? There were two congressional hearings I think 337 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:23,599 that over our interest to us. One was with doctor Anthony Fauci and the 338 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,039 other was with Merrick Garland. I think we should start with Merrick Garland because 339 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:33,480 I think that kind of has something to do with this. Obviously, you 340 00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:38,440 know, he runs the Justice Department. The Justice Department is completely corrupt. 341 00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:44,720 So before the day of his I think it was Tuesday, I'm not sure 342 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,759 whatever. The day of his testimony, the Wall Street Journal had this glowing 343 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:56,599 story about how Merrick Garland is basically hated and distrusted by both sides because he's 344 00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:03,079 such just solemonic figure. Who who you know, helps you know, who 345 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,440 puts the administration in a bad spot, who puts you know, goes after 346 00:26:06,519 --> 00:26:08,319 Trump, et cetera, cetera. I don't believe any of that's true. 347 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,480 I don't think that. I think it's fair to say that on occasion, 348 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,440 because when he has zero choice, he will do something that upsets the Biden 349 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:22,880 administration, who views the Justice Department as a partisan, you know, agency, 350 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:29,880 and that he has completely corroded the integrity of the Justice Department by going 351 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,599 after political opponents. And I'm not just talking about Donald Trump. I'm talking 352 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,640 about anthro life protesters. I'm talking about people who protest school board authoritarian school 353 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:44,119 boards. And I'm talking about, you know, his attacks on institutions that 354 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:52,599 he doesn't like, his fake, constant fear mongering over MAGA extremism, and 355 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,160 his the way he ignores leftists violence. So am I wrong about that? 356 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,279 I saw that story in the Wall Street Journal. The news section has become 357 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:10,160 much more opinionated and left wing in the last decade or so. For people 358 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,680 who don't read the Journal, it can be As a subscriber to the Journal, 359 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,559 it can be horrific actually to read the paper there. So yeah, 360 00:27:17,599 --> 00:27:22,559 the story was all about how Merrick Garland is beyond reproach. I mean, 361 00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:30,640 he's just he's almost Jesus Like basically was the angle taken by the Wall Street 362 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,960 Journal. And to do that it ignored, you know, just all sorts 363 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,880 of things or just like accepted things that nobody should accept. This is a 364 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:44,359 guy who personally authorized the raid on Mara Lago, right, Like, that's 365 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,640 a guy who has no judgment at all unless the judgment is totalitarianism, you 366 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:56,160 know, or authoritarianism. He's been a disaster. The Department of Justice has 367 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,000 had no restraint on itself under his watch. You know, Bill Barr was 368 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:06,880 going to war against the entire leadership of the of the DOJ when he was 369 00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:11,720 overseeing it, but he at least was, you know, trying to fight 370 00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:15,160 it back on some of it. With Garland, there's been no restraint and 371 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,240 it's horrific. Like we live in the country with a DJ that's completely out 372 00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:22,960 of control. And when he went to Congress to talk about it, he 373 00:28:23,079 --> 00:28:26,720 was basically like, I don't care what you people think, I don't care 374 00:28:26,759 --> 00:28:30,319 what you have to say. He was like oozing with disdain for them. 375 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:37,279 He was he felt like he controlled them rather than him being responsive to Congress, 376 00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:40,039 and it showed, you know, he was basically like, Yeah, 377 00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:41,960 I'm gonna keep doing this reign of terror and there's nothing you can do about 378 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:49,200 it. Is Trump going to raise taxes? Watched Out on Wall Street podcast 379 00:28:49,279 --> 00:28:53,319 with Chris Markowski. Every day Chris helps unpack the connection between politics and the 380 00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:57,880 economy and how it affects your wallet. Donald Trump promises to raise tariffs on 381 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:03,119 Chinese imports. That may cause China more, but tariffs are just taxes his 382 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,000 own business, which are tacked onto the products that you pay for. Whether 383 00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:10,039 it's happening in DC or down on Wall Street, it's affecting you financially. 384 00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:12,519 Be informed. Check out the Watchdot on Wall Street podcast with Chris Markowski on 385 00:29:12,559 --> 00:29:19,039 Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. It reminded me years 386 00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:22,119 ago he was in front of Congress and when they asked him about the task 387 00:29:22,119 --> 00:29:27,279 force he had set up to investigate domestic terrorist parents and they were like, 388 00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:33,200 well, the Biden administration is the one that told the I forget what the 389 00:29:33,319 --> 00:29:37,839 educational institution was that complained in a letter to use the term domestic terrorist so 390 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,359 you could send people there. But yet you have no real terrorists here, 391 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,079 and he's like, no, we're not going to dissolve this task force. 392 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,720 He just ignores Congress, he ignores reality, and he just does whatever helps 393 00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:52,680 the Biden administration. Yeah, I'm sorry. I just want to say I 394 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,119 think he lied about you know, when they started targeting Roman Catholics and he 395 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,400 was like, oh, that was just like one guy in one office, 396 00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:03,319 which was a lie. Turned out to involve several offices. Many people know 397 00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:07,559 it was coordinated. So like you, when you start lying to people about 398 00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:11,039 things you got caught doing, it makes it really hard to believe anything you're 399 00:30:11,039 --> 00:30:15,000 saying. But go on, well, yeah, I mean also think about 400 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,400 this as he you knows, as you know, there was an assassination attempt 401 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,480 on a Supreme Court justice. There were people picketing right in front of the 402 00:30:23,519 --> 00:30:29,279 house trying to which was against the law because they were trying to affect an 403 00:30:29,319 --> 00:30:32,839 outcome of a case. Right, he did nothing about that. But yet 404 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:40,519 he will send SWAT teams into pro life protesters homes who have children to arrest 405 00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:42,680 them. Didn't a woman who I think she was a seventy five year old 406 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:48,279 woman who was praying in front of a of a abortion clinic just get like 407 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:55,079 two years in jail for praying. I mean, so the disparity in how 408 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,839 he goes after political you know, people who are involved to politics. It's 409 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,599 just it's my bossy. I said this after the oral arguments on the Supreme 410 00:31:03,599 --> 00:31:11,880 Court case dealing with the way that Merrick Garland has added this like sarbainez Oxley 411 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:17,119 provision to make sure that people can you know, be forced into prison for 412 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,119 whatever they did on January sixth, But I was imagining, if you're one 413 00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:27,079 of these Supreme Court justices who's been terrorized by you know, attempted assassins, 414 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:30,400 you know, you can't go out to dinner, you can't leave your house. 415 00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:34,799 Your family's targeted with the help of corporate media and other Democrats, you 416 00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:38,079 know, with Chuck Schumer on the steps of the Supreme Court saying I tell 417 00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:42,160 you Justice Kavanaugh, I tell you Justice Gorsage, We're coming for you if 418 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:47,039 you don't vote the right way on cases, you know, and the Merrit 419 00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:51,400 Garland was like, gosh, there's just nothing we can can do to that, 420 00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:57,039 while also trying to get the Supreme Court to okay the use of sarbainz 421 00:31:57,079 --> 00:32:01,000 Oxley to go after you know, eighty year old grandma's who are walking around 422 00:32:01,039 --> 00:32:07,480 the Capitol on January six. He also ignores the Supreme Court, So when 423 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,200 Roe v. Wade was in force, you know, he would you know, 424 00:32:12,279 --> 00:32:15,680 the federal government when Democrats were in charge with sue states who they've believed 425 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,480 or undermining that you know, fake constitutional right. But when Dobbs fell, 426 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,599 there was no more pretend constitutional right to an abortion, and doj under Garland 427 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:29,599 ignores that it is no longer a right, and sue takes like Texas to 428 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,359 try to stop the people. You know, these are the other day Garlands 429 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,200 that he was defending democracy and nothing was going to stop. And but yet 430 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,440 literally he has a bunch of suits that are trying to undermine the votes and 431 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:44,319 the policies of states that he doesn't like. But I wanted to who's the 432 00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:51,160 guy who you you often mock who took over for Brian Stelter. Oh guy, 433 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,559 I forgot's name. I think it's Oliver Darcy. So he had a 434 00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:00,400 piece where he says, how could anyone say that, you know, I 435 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,720 don't exactly know the wordy, but I could anyone say that justice Aparliament is 436 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:13,279 biased? When they're going after Hunter Biden. Which listen, Garland allowed the 437 00:33:13,319 --> 00:33:19,039 statute of limitation on Hunter's foreign dealings laps, right, he did not go 438 00:33:19,119 --> 00:33:22,559 after him. And let's not forget he put David Weiss in charge of that 439 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,680 investigation illegally, you're not supposed to have a special, an independent or whatever 440 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,759 it's called, counsel who has worked in government. But more than that, 441 00:33:30,119 --> 00:33:35,039 they tried to give Hunter Biden an immunity deal, not only for things he 442 00:33:35,079 --> 00:33:37,480 has already been charged with, but for future and other crimes that he was 443 00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:42,599 not even yet charged for. It was the most ridiculous. If it weren't 444 00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:45,880 for the whistleblowers at the IRS, if it weren't for a judge I believe 445 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:51,039 in Delaware who's like, what are you nuts? This is the craziest immunity 446 00:33:51,079 --> 00:33:55,559 deal ever. Garland would have given Hunter Biden a complete pass on all his 447 00:33:55,599 --> 00:34:00,160 criminal activity. Right. So, the idea that there's some kind of he 448 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:04,519 had no choice there, the idea that there's some you know, equal justice 449 00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:08,800 here is just preposterous. They went after Hunter, they they ended up charging 450 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:15,800 him. They're basically forced into charging him for something not you know, nothing 451 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:22,360 to do with the corruption of his family right, nothing to do with the 452 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,079 foreign influence peddling, And they went for the one thing that could be least 453 00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:31,840 connected to Joe Biden, and that could you know, foreseeably be pardoned and 454 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:37,320 framed in a very sympathetic light about addiction, nothing about corruption, which they 455 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,880 let that all go away. And yeah, they tried very hard to make 456 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:45,480 even that go away, so total false equivalency to be like, oh see, 457 00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:49,719 we're willing to go after Hunter Biden. No, they weren't willing. 458 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,760 They were not willing. But also, you know, it kind of annoys 459 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,719 me that this is all about you know that trials has become all about the 460 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,559 Hunter Biden gun trial has become all about his addiction and stuff. Like the 461 00:35:01,639 --> 00:35:05,639 first of all, addiction is not an excuse for criminality. No one forced 462 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,159 him to be an addict. I get that it's a you know, people 463 00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:12,679 think it's a disease and so on. But a lot of the things that 464 00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:15,039 Bind did that he was in charge for happened after his addiction. He keeps 465 00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:21,079 pretending that it's all about his addiction, but it wasn't. And in any 466 00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:23,039 event, I can get here very much about Hunter. Yeah, even one 467 00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:25,480 of the things I keep thinking about too, is there was a lot of 468 00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:30,880 human trafficking that Joe Biden's son was involved in, you know, according to 469 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:36,039 the information on the laptop, which the government just this week you know said 470 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,320 again was real and not Russian disinformation as Joe Biden had falsely claimed, and 471 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:49,079 as fifty one corrupt intel officials falsely claimed. That would be something you know, 472 00:35:49,119 --> 00:35:52,480 that would be less sympathetic to go after than drug or gun crimes. 473 00:35:52,519 --> 00:35:58,639 You know, when you're actually trafficking humans in sex, slavery, like, 474 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:05,320 that's not so sympathetic, right, Yeah, I think you're right. Also, 475 00:36:06,559 --> 00:36:09,320 the DJ tried to give Hunter immunity on all those things, on his 476 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,119 foreign dealings, on all any kind of other crimes that he was involved in. 477 00:36:14,159 --> 00:36:17,320 I wish I had the list here, Ribery, corruption, failn to 478 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:24,679 register as a foreign agent, these things were all preemptively given immunity if of 479 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,840 course he had his way. But it was for the if it wasn't for 480 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,039 those two irs agents, that's where we'd be in the judge in any event, 481 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:36,760 I you know, Garland will be made out to be a hero and 482 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,920 he's just over you know, he's just a completely corrupt guy. Speaking of 483 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:45,559 corruption, can we move on to doctor Anthony Fauci. Let's do it actually 484 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:52,719 have a distaste for going back to the COVID or I think it was it 485 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:58,480 It showed us that, you know, people are too willing to allow authoritarians 486 00:36:58,519 --> 00:37:02,320 to rule their lives in the way that we just acquiesced to churches being shut 487 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,880 down, to our businesses being shut down, to our schools being shut down. 488 00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:10,119 It is really, I think, just one of the saddest episodes in 489 00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:16,880 American history. But doctor Fauci was in front of Congress and the you know, 490 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:22,840 we already know he lies all the time, but he admitted, I 491 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:28,400 think it was released in congressional testimony this week, that he had no scientific 492 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:34,119 evidence for the six foot social distancing that everyone was impelled basically to take on 493 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,719 societally by him. Now I'm not saying he had an edict, but we 494 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,719 were supposed to follow the science. We were supposed to follow whatever he said. 495 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,440 And that was one of the kind of ridiculous rituals we were involved in 496 00:37:46,519 --> 00:37:52,400 during COVID. What do you do about a guy like Fauci, Like, 497 00:37:53,039 --> 00:37:57,199 there are people now in government. Next time we have an emergency, they'll 498 00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:00,639 pretend to be experts. The media will, i should say, pretends to 499 00:38:00,639 --> 00:38:05,599 be an expert. He'll be an expert who uses science as to give him 500 00:38:05,599 --> 00:38:08,960 a patina of authority that makes the rest of us act in a certain way. 501 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,119 I mean, do you think things will be different next time we have 502 00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:15,119 a COVID or are we just going to end up doing the same thing? 503 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,920 Is that a too broad question? Yeah? I just want to kind of 504 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,119 like take a real quick step back with Anthony Fauci. So, Anthony Fauci 505 00:38:23,199 --> 00:38:27,079 is a longtime government bureaucrat. I think he's the highest paid, was the 506 00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:32,400 highest paid person in government after decades of service. Very controversial figure for how 507 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,280 he handled the AIDS crisis and a variety of other things that people think he 508 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,679 has not handled well. But he's very good at playing the bureaucratic game, 509 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,800 very good at funneling money to allies and government and taxpayer money to allies for 510 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:52,840 different research projects. And that's important because when this happened, it was a 511 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:57,639 huge, hugely scary moment for a few people in the government, including Anthony 512 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,000 Fauci. They knew that they had been involved in gain and function research, 513 00:39:01,079 --> 00:39:07,039 and they knew that the COVID virus was almost certainly a result of gain of 514 00:39:07,159 --> 00:39:12,079 function research. Just yesterday the New York Times published they had to do it 515 00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:15,360 in their opinion section. But it's absolutely like exhaust of like here are all 516 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:20,519 the reasons why it was almost certainly out of the lab, Like it's the 517 00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:23,920 way that makes sense. So the problem is that Fauci and you know, 518 00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:31,119 Francis Collins and other like high high profile federal scientist types had been funneling money 519 00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:36,039 to EcoHealth and to other groups that do gain and function research, some of 520 00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:39,840 them even doing gain of function research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. You 521 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,480 know, President Obama had spoken out and acted against gain of function research for 522 00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:52,760 fear that maybe one of these things would lead to a global pandemic. So 523 00:39:52,639 --> 00:40:00,360 Fauci and other people were kind of skirting Obama's changes to what was allowed to 524 00:40:00,039 --> 00:40:04,239 still be involved in gain of function, but not be doing it, you 525 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,840 know, be doing it in a way this a little bit harder to track 526 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,960 American tax dollars for. So when this came out, they were like, 527 00:40:10,639 --> 00:40:14,760 oh crap, this is us, Like this this was our kind of mess 528 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,840 up. So they began to be moving into self protective mode. So anyone 529 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:25,360 who was threatening to expose their role became an enemy, and they used anti 530 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:31,159 Trumpist hatred from corporate media to help accomplish their goals. So they would go 531 00:40:31,199 --> 00:40:36,239 on TV, very good on TV, very very good on TV. You 532 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:42,079 have like a lot of older white media women who actually say they found Anthony 533 00:40:42,119 --> 00:40:45,519 Fauci sexually attractive, you know, and they would oh, my gosh, 534 00:40:45,559 --> 00:40:49,119 Anthony Fauci said this and that, Oh it's so amazing, and so they 535 00:40:49,119 --> 00:40:52,480 would just kind of say, you know, accept whatever he said. And 536 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:59,239 if he said it was a conspiracy theory to believe that that the gain of 537 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:04,119 function had had escaped the lab he's you know, he said that, he 538 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,760 said it was a conspiracy theory. When people started to say this probably came 539 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,559 from the lab right, he had he what was it? You know, 540 00:41:13,559 --> 00:41:15,880 how would you say prompted people to come up with Nope, it was a 541 00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:23,599 zoological whatever what do they call it? Biozenetic I definitely when people questioned, 542 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,559 you know, when people even just talked about where it came from, they 543 00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:34,280 were accused of being racist. The idea was that it's less racist to say 544 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,880 that disgusting dining practices of Chinese where they eat you know, raw bats or 545 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,800 whatever. That was like not racist, but to say I think that Wuhan 546 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,239 Institute of Virology, which is world famous for doing gain of function research, 547 00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:51,320 might have on bats and coronaviruses might have had something to do with this thing 548 00:41:51,519 --> 00:41:58,360 that was deemed you know, racist to accuse scientists of having an accident when 549 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:05,079 the great bearing to Decoration came out saying that since older people and the compromised 550 00:42:05,079 --> 00:42:13,800 are like more vulnerable to coronavirus than healthy young men, and that our reaction 551 00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:19,320 should put that into account, protect the most vulnerable and not shut down society 552 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:25,079 for everybody else. Fauci worked to delegitimize and censor those people, and yes, 553 00:42:25,199 --> 00:42:34,119 two censor scientific debate about these things. And so can I quickly just 554 00:42:34,159 --> 00:42:37,719 interject here if you read the Great Barrington Declaration, now it is right about 555 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:43,480 almost all things, whereas Fauci was wrong about all things. And yet Fauci 556 00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:46,639 is still regarded as this, you know, great man who got us out, 557 00:42:46,679 --> 00:42:50,679 you know, by certain people got us out of COVID. Sorry, 558 00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:54,559 So when I think of like things that should happen to Anthony Fauci spending the 559 00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:59,039 rest of his life in prison is the nicest thing I can think that should 560 00:42:59,039 --> 00:43:01,519 happen to him. The amount of destruction caused by this person, you know, 561 00:43:01,559 --> 00:43:06,159 And he said if you questioned him, you were questioning science. I 562 00:43:06,159 --> 00:43:10,679 mean, that's dilusional talk that he said stuff like that all the time. 563 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:15,400 But you asked if things would be different, and I would say no. 564 00:43:15,639 --> 00:43:19,360 So, first off, I think a lot of people are embarrassed by how 565 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,400 willing they were to go along with the shutdowns of everything. I wish people 566 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:28,440 would understand that censorship played a huge part in that. So I think a 567 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,000 lot of people maybe did have an instinct that what Fauci and other government leaders 568 00:43:32,039 --> 00:43:37,039 were trying to do to the world to cover up their crimes was really bad. 569 00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:38,639 But they would look around and they'd be like, but I'm the only 570 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:43,360 person who seems to be thinking this is bad. And that's because they were 571 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:49,679 engaged in widespread, oppressive censorship of public opinion. So if you know we 572 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,320 understood this at the Federalist, if you hosted a debate about whether you should 573 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:59,480 follow Fauci's brand new ideas about how to shut down a pandemic or time tested 574 00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:05,000 ways we had done it for hundreds of years you got censored off of social 575 00:44:05,119 --> 00:44:08,480 media, not just that article, but every article ever written by your publication. 576 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:17,280 Like the censorship was so extreme it killed a distribution of certain media outlets 577 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,440 across the board. I mean, they were really good at sensoring and they 578 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,679 were targeting, and Fauci himself was working with Facebook. You know, we 579 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:30,079 have these emails. We also know that Fauci and his team were evading FOIA 580 00:44:30,159 --> 00:44:35,280 requests, you know, Freedom of Information Act requests by deliberately misspelling words or 581 00:44:36,079 --> 00:44:44,280 using private communications. Like what happened was really awful, But I think people 582 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,679 are motivated by fear a lot, and so I don't know if anything will 583 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:51,480 change next time they run this operation on us. Can I say something really 584 00:44:51,519 --> 00:44:55,840 funny? The Federalist page on Wikipedia, which is turned into just one of 585 00:44:55,840 --> 00:45:00,559 the worst sites for many reasons that will to get into right now, has 586 00:45:00,599 --> 00:45:05,840 a section on us the Federalist about COVID nineteen pandemic misinformation, and one of 587 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,280 the main things at the top is that the Federalists publish are articles denouncing social 588 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:16,280 distancing, which we now know has no scientific basis. The whole misinformation part 589 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:20,639 of our page. There all of the things have turned out to be true 590 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,119 that we at the Federalist I was actually here at the time published. Yeah. 591 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,880 Yeah, Now I want to say, first off, you should be 592 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,480 able to say things that are not true in America. Should you were right 593 00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:36,800 to do that? So censorship is wrong. Censorship is wrong, no matter 594 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,920 what right agreed. But it does hurt, particularly when you are censored for 595 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:46,679 speaking the truth boldly in an age where everyone else are just cowardly losers, 596 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:52,039 and you know, it causes real it causes real pain. I will just 597 00:45:52,079 --> 00:45:53,599 go ahead and say it, you know, right now too, because we 598 00:45:53,599 --> 00:45:58,880 were courageous and bold on that story and other stories where we have been proven 599 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:05,840 to be right. Censorship does, you know, materially affect your ability to 600 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:12,000 sell ads and generate revenue and hire other reporters to continue to expose very bad 601 00:46:12,039 --> 00:46:15,639 things. And so good time to re up, you know, subscriptions, 602 00:46:15,679 --> 00:46:19,920 donations whatever to the Federalists. Sorry, go on, no, yeah, 603 00:46:20,039 --> 00:46:22,639 I mean listen, I give people a break. At the very beginning of 604 00:46:22,639 --> 00:46:25,719 this thing, they didn't know what it was. The media was scaring everyone 605 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:30,559 people, we have ten set up and people are dying and all that stuff. 606 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,960 But as we got into it, and people started to question it. 607 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,280 That's when the censorship regime really started. That's when Facebook said you can talk 608 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:44,119 about China, you know what I mean, And driven by the way by 609 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:49,239 government officials like Fauci. Like Fauci didn't have the power to have an edict, 610 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,920 but basically he did because everyone listened to him literally, you know, 611 00:46:53,199 --> 00:46:58,159 because he's been there a long time. Anyway, Wait, one thing I 612 00:46:58,159 --> 00:47:00,119 want to say about it too. Yeah, he is admitted now that there 613 00:47:00,159 --> 00:47:05,440 was no scientific basis for his repeated assertion that the best thing you could do 614 00:47:05,639 --> 00:47:08,719 was stay six feet away from someone else. He's admitted that. But that 615 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,440 six feet rule that was adopted widely by federal, state, local governments in 616 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:20,199 different ways. That also was the reason why we were able to accomplish something 617 00:47:20,199 --> 00:47:24,400 Democrats had fought for for a very long period of time, which is massive 618 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:30,800 mail in balloting, which is the means by which they were able to secure 619 00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:37,320 their twenty twenty election victory. And so this twenty twenty election was decided by 620 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:43,440 like forty three thousand votes across three states, and Democrats spent you know, 621 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:51,639 so much money on harvesting, trafficking mail in ballots to secure that victory, 622 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,199 and they would not have been able to do it without Fauci and other people 623 00:47:55,679 --> 00:48:02,159 lying about the science behind what should happen pandemic response. It was world altering, 624 00:48:02,199 --> 00:48:06,760 Like if you don't like the situation that the entire world is in right 625 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,280 now, with everything on fire and with everything bad in the country, you 626 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:14,920 know, it all kind of dates back to what Democrats were willing to do 627 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:22,719 to in response to a global pandemic. Yeah. I was actually reading reading 628 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,519 up, you know, to prepare for this episode, and I was reminded 629 00:48:24,519 --> 00:48:30,280 that Fauci was defending people like Cuomo in New York, who, you know, 630 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,800 I don't even know how to put this. I mean, he basically 631 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:39,320 send people to their deaths and nursing homes and attack people like Rond de Santis 632 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,559 for wanting kids to go back to school. When Rond de Santis had said 633 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,039 that no one under twenty five had died from coronavirus, if Fauci went up 634 00:48:47,079 --> 00:48:52,800 to Elector and and said that basically attacked him for making the staggering, you 635 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,039 know, unscientific claim. But as it turned out, at the time, 636 00:48:55,599 --> 00:49:00,599 one person in the whole country, only four Americans between age fifth to twenty 637 00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:04,000 four and one. Between one and four were known to have died of COVID 638 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,960 in the country of three hundred and fifty million or whatever. People like Fauci 639 00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:15,320 was lying. DeSantis was right, Florida was right, and that's that's that's 640 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,119 what history should show. But I agree with you. I think you could 641 00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:22,960 scare people pretty easily in this country and any event. So do we have 642 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:28,599 anything else? Is that it on news? Nope? Let's talk about what 643 00:49:28,679 --> 00:49:35,719 you watched, read or listened to. I watched the best movie this weekend, 644 00:49:36,199 --> 00:49:39,159 really, I think. I mean it was simple, but it was 645 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:45,280 really well done. It's Godzilla minus one. Really, did you see it? 646 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,199 No, I want you to watch it and then tell me what you 647 00:49:47,199 --> 00:49:50,719 think about it. I definitely. I see it's on Netflix. I just 648 00:49:51,039 --> 00:49:55,119 yeah, yeah, So it's a Godzilla movie. Is it Sappenies movie? 649 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,800 Yeah? So you have to if you do not speak Japanese, you need 650 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:04,480 to have the subtitles on. But I don't mind that. And it was 651 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,079 I think. My husband told me it was done on a budget, like 652 00:50:07,119 --> 00:50:09,079 a very small budget of like fifteen million. But it looks really great. 653 00:50:09,159 --> 00:50:14,559 Even the fact that it looks a little low budget kind of works. Given 654 00:50:14,639 --> 00:50:19,920 that it's Godzilla. Yeah yeah, but it's got great like human interest backstories 655 00:50:20,119 --> 00:50:23,079 and it was really fun. I liked that. Wow, all right, 656 00:50:23,119 --> 00:50:27,320 I'll watch it for sure. Yeah, I'm all in on those kind of 657 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:32,360 movies. Anything else, No, I just kind of prayed for my country. 658 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,440 So great, and you watch Godzilla and one yep. I had two 659 00:50:37,559 --> 00:50:45,000 things I watched. I watched Dune two. Oh was it? Listen? 660 00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:51,159 It's the director if I was named Dennis something French. He's great. He 661 00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:52,960 looks on a good movie. But I did think this one was not as 662 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,880 good as the first one. And I've read Dune. I like Dune. 663 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,880 It was just a little choppy as far as telling the story. I think 664 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:01,159 it actually could have been a longer movie. I think it was like three 665 00:51:01,199 --> 00:51:06,199 hours, but he used another half an hour to smooth out the segues from 666 00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:09,960 one character to another. So I didn't love it as much as the first 667 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,400 one, but I still would recommend watching it. That actor who played Elvis 668 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,960 isn't it and he's he's like a bad guy and he's I think he does 669 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,400 a pretty good job there. And then I watched just yesterday a new show 670 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:27,440 called The Acolyte, which is a Star Wars show about Jedi. Oh yeah, 671 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,599 I've heard about it on the twitters. I know what a vig fan 672 00:51:30,679 --> 00:51:36,320 you are. And yeah, I thought it was okay. I thought it 673 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,519 was I expected it to be worse. It wasn't that terrible. So far, 674 00:51:38,559 --> 00:51:42,079 I've only seen two episodes. I think that's all that's released, and 675 00:51:42,159 --> 00:51:46,159 it was pretty good. I've also I want to just because I need to 676 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:50,159 inject some music in here so I have something to play at the end of 677 00:51:50,199 --> 00:51:53,119 the show. I wanted to note that I got myself some Tom Waits' albums 678 00:51:53,199 --> 00:51:57,239 early Tom Waite, so I'm a huge family. Sorry. I also watched 679 00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:02,840 that, so not Tom Waits. I watched a documentary on Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. 680 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,519 I watched it thinking it was going to be a documentary on Leonard Cohen, 681 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:14,559 right, and I'm you know that song? Is that like the Marianne 682 00:52:14,639 --> 00:52:17,920 song by Leonard Cohen? Is it Goodbye Marianne? I am not. I'm 683 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:22,559 not really a fan of his, so I don't know. I'm sorry. 684 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:30,320 I I do like, yeah, Goodbye marian I do like Leonard Cohen a 685 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:36,559 lot, and I am shocked to hear that you're not a fan, seem 686 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:42,000 kind of similar to me. I like, he's one of these people I 687 00:52:42,079 --> 00:52:45,320 like. Frank Zappa is another one who I like, but I don't actually 688 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,159 enjoy their art that much, but I sort of like as a person and 689 00:52:47,199 --> 00:52:52,280 I'm interested in them. Does that make sense? It does. But you 690 00:52:52,280 --> 00:53:00,320 know, he's like on a lifelong spiritual struggle journey whatever that takes, cross 691 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:07,159 Judaism and Buddhism and stuff, and I love his poetry and his voice and 692 00:53:07,199 --> 00:53:09,920 everything, and I wanted to learn more about his life, like that's what 693 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:15,360 I'm actually curious about. This was more just a very long documentary about the 694 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,679 song. And I know everyone loves that song Hallylujah for very good reasons, 695 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,159 but I don't really like it as much as some of the other songs. 696 00:53:22,199 --> 00:53:29,280 So it was it was fine. I had recently learned and saw a picture 697 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,000 of him during the nineteen seventy three surprise attack on Israel. He actually flew 698 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:37,079 to Israel and like sang to the troops and stuff, so obviously I like 699 00:53:37,119 --> 00:53:38,960 to hear that kind of thing, so it sort of piqued my interest in 700 00:53:39,119 --> 00:53:43,039 a bit more. But yeah, I know, maybe I'll listen, Maybe 701 00:53:43,079 --> 00:53:46,199 I'll like it if I listen, okay, all right, well then we 702 00:53:46,199 --> 00:53:52,119 have some music. Thank you great, well, I hope everyone will be 703 00:53:52,119 --> 00:53:53,840 back next week. We will be too. Until them be lovers of freedom 704 00:53:53,960 --> 00:54:00,280 and anxious to be yo
