1 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,320 Welcome back, everyone to a new episode of You're Wrong with Molly Hemingway and 2 00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:22,519 David Harsani. If you'd like to reach the show, please do so at 3 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,600 radio at the Federalist dot com. We'd love to hear from you. How 4 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,320 are you, Molly, I'm doing great. I'm getting ready for summer. 5 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,600 Kids are finishing up school. Well that's great. Yeah, I'm in Texas 6 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:42,359 right now. In Texas do not seem like a good match. How is 7 00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,119 that? I am an East Coaster. Yeah, but yeah, it's so 8 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,640 hot here already. I can't wait to get out of here. But I 9 00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:56,280 went to a Lutheran youth gathering in San Antonio last summer, Higher Things, 10 00:00:56,359 --> 00:01:00,240 Lutheran youth gathering, and I have never been so hot in my entire life, 11 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:06,280 and that includes Houston in twenty ten, which I remember being a particularly 12 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,840 brutal summer. But it's so hot outside. But whenever you walk inside anywhere, 13 00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:18,519 you need a coat and like a hat because it's freezing. So it's 14 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,319 not my kind of thing. But I do like Texas in general. It's 15 00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:26,280 a beautiful state. And I did visit the Alamo, which was very cool, 16 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,359 and yeah, I love the Alamo. I got to go to Masada 17 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,680 and then the Alma La last year. Awa, you have to go, 18 00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:38,799 where was it Thermopyla in Greece? Where weren't you in Greece? Actually recently 19 00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,359 it was, but not near there. Well, all three are like, 20 00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,040 come and take it, like that flag in a malan labe or however you 21 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,480 pronounce it. Anyway, let's talk about politics. Let's start by talking about 22 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,680 Donald Trump's trial in New York, which I just quickly want to say, 23 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,400 above, above, and beyond all things we're going to talk about, has 24 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,840 kept them off the campaign trail already in the midst of a presidential race for 25 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,920 what two weeks? Three weeks? Yeah, Well, it's not just the 26 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,520 many weeks that the trial has been going on. It's all the preparation for 27 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:14,599 the trial, and you know, it's been quite the interference in the election. 28 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,960 There's also the expense of having to pay attorneys that takes away from and 29 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,080 this is the Biden campaign strategy is to put their opponent in prison, and 30 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:32,879 so it's a campaign issue. How these trials are going. So the jury 31 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,479 is out, correct, I think, well, like they're getting their jury 32 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:45,000 instructions today and they will begin their deliberations today. I loved this line that 33 00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:52,039 Margot Cleveland, our senior contributor legal correspondent, said, which was he said, 34 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,719 Trump jury begins deliberations today. In New York, a guilty verdict could 35 00:02:55,759 --> 00:03:06,039 be returned as soon as two months ago. So there's no hope that because 36 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,680 it was so weak, and because Michael Cone was such a bad witness and 37 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,360 key witness to the whole thing, that that one juror is going to say, 38 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,520 no, this is crazy. I don't think it's wise to assume that 39 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:24,639 there will be a single juror strong enough to move this show trial away from 40 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,960 its natural conclusion, which would be conviction. I guess it's possible. I 41 00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:34,919 just really don't not that I don't think highly of New Yorker's no offense, 42 00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:38,960 but like, I don't think there's anyone on I would just be really surprised 43 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,879 if there was anyone on the jury strong enough to withstand you know, the 44 00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:49,439 President of the United States announcing he's going to hold a press conference once the 45 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,680 verdict is released or give a speech from the White House. You had the 46 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,039 Biden campaign out in front of the in front of the court yesterday, kind 47 00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:00,520 of you know, saying that all of civilization hangs on the balance of a 48 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,319 guilty verdict. You had the judge running this trial, I think, worse 49 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,159 than any trial I've ever heard of in my lifetime. And I think we 50 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,360 forget how blessed we are to have so many judges who aren't Charlatan's, and 51 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,680 this judge has If there was a bad decision to make, he made it. 52 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,800 If there was a good decision to make, he didn't make it. 53 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,519 Every step of the way, he was biased in favor of the prosecution and 54 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,079 against the defense. And even when it came to jury instructions, you know, 55 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,519 just things like they don't have to agree on what the crime is to 56 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,800 find him guilty, which seems Unamerican, and yet is happening here. It 57 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,439 seems quite malleable. I wanted to quickly talk about the so Donald Trump's on 58 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,319 trial for election interference, which seems like a made up thing. But outside 59 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,680 of the event, as the judge was, I think maybe giving an instructions, 60 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,600 there was a campaign event by Biden Harris at a trial, which seems 61 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:13,439 more election interferency than anything Donald Trump is actually accused of doing. With as 62 00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:16,519 you say, Smokey McDaniel or whatever her name is. Well, Joe Biden's 63 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,279 number three at the Justice Department, Matthew Colangelo, was the lead prosecutor in 64 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:28,839 this case. It's part of a string of indictments led by Democrat strategists around 65 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,759 the country to again imprison, we'll prosecute, keep off the campaign trail, 66 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:39,959 hurt the fundraising efforts of and imprison and bankrupt their political opponent, like were 67 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,959 some third world tinpot dictatorship. So the whole thing is kind of crazy, 68 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,680 and I just can't get away from how yes, they say that by having 69 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,240 a non disclosure agreement filed in one way that you could conceivably have a problem 70 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,879 with this, even though the federal government didn't after they looked into it. 71 00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:03,279 All during an election where the Democrat Party and Hillary Clinton secretly funneled money through 72 00:06:03,319 --> 00:06:09,240 a law firm to cook up a conspiracy theory that Donald Trump was secretly a 73 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,800 Russian agent colluding with Russia to steal the twenty sixteen election, and nothing really 74 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,079 happened to them. But if Donald Trump had a campaign event at any kind 75 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,000 of trial, it would immediately be the biggest story that you've ever heard, 76 00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:30,279 right, It would immediately be election interference in and of itself. Robert de 77 00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:33,639 Niro was part of this event. Who's you know, Oscar Winning, very 78 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:40,360 famous actor. And I believe there were some US Capital officers, you know, 79 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:46,439 because everything's actually about January sixth. That seems so like completely out of 80 00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:53,439 line. And I can't actually think of another trial for anyone or anything where 81 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,000 there was a campaign event tied to it, unless maybe someone was defending themselves, 82 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,839 do you know what I'm saying? So that alone, I think it's 83 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:10,720 just such a norm busting maneuver that it should render the trial itself. I 84 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,839 mean, there should be a retrial. You're having campaign events outside, there 85 00:07:13,839 --> 00:07:15,959 are jurors inside, there are you know I'm saying. So anyway, I 86 00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:20,720 don't know. I found that so rupt, but I also found it weird 87 00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:26,439 that they would even do it. So anyway, So Jonathan Turley was in 88 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,160 the courtroom today listening to the jury instructions, and he has a long thread 89 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,279 about just how horribly they were done, like even somehow worse than people imagined 90 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:39,079 they would be. And his final note on it, he says, Marichon 91 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,240 just delivered the coup de gras instruction. He said, there is no need 92 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:50,199 to agree on what occurred. You can disagree on what a particular crime was 93 00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:56,759 among three choices that he gave, and you could split with for saying it's 94 00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:00,279 one crime, for saying it's another, and foresaying still yet an other, 95 00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:05,279 and he will treat that as a unanimous jury verdict. That's a show trial, 96 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:07,879 my friends. I'm just going to say this. It's not even the 97 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:13,879 Devil's Advocate thing. I just I wonder if that's ever am if that's ever 98 00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,399 used, if you can do that normally, or is that something that ever 99 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,399 happens. No, the Supreme Court has ruled that you cannot do that. 100 00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:24,120 So like there's no question again that if this were appealed, you know, 101 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,160 directly to the Supreme Court or somehow made it to the Supreme Court, they 102 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:31,079 will overturn this. Like nothing about this has been done in a way that 103 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,240 upholds rule of law, nothing like the charges never should have been brought, 104 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,240 and every step along the way has been just a travesty, like a republic 105 00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:43,480 threatening travesty. So it will be overturned, but it will be overturned after 106 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:48,679 the damage is done. The idea is not to withstand appeal. It's to 107 00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:56,440 tarnish their primary political opponent. It's horrific. It is navolniesque. And anyone 108 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,960 who's in any way supporting this at all or speaking like is if it's not 109 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:05,799 a travesty, it's part of the problem. In my view. Yeah, 110 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:11,120 it's a show trial, but I I and it is a travesty and it's 111 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:15,600 norm breaking, as I said, But it's also I don't think harming Donald 112 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,559 Trump really in the way that they had hoped that it would. So what 113 00:09:18,639 --> 00:09:20,679 do you think is going to happen? Because I do assume there will be 114 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:24,320 a conviction. I think Mark sch On has basically said, you have to 115 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,799 convict. The only way we're getting out of here is that if you convict, 116 00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:30,639 and you can convict any way you want, but you got to convict. 117 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,759 So I think it'll be a conviction. Your instruction is you must convict 118 00:09:33,799 --> 00:09:41,240 or you cannot leave. Basically, But what do you think will be the 119 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:45,919 result afterward? I mean, I'm not a legal expert. He can appeal, 120 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,440 right, No, I mean, like, literally, what do you 121 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,600 think the effect will be on the electorate? What do you think will he 122 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,799 be sent to prison? You know what's going to happen. I don't know 123 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,759 if he'll be sent to prison. I don't know. I doubt it it 124 00:10:00,919 --> 00:10:03,879 just from what I've read before. But I will say that I don't think 125 00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:07,960 it will matter to most voters. I think anyone who doesn't think this is 126 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,480 a show trial pretends not to think it was Hayd stald Trump already. Folks 127 00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,360 who think it is a show trial don't care. I don't think there's so 128 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,039 much noise with all the It's almost like they have too many show trials going 129 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,039 on and too many cases going on, where it just becomes noise. I 130 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,200 think for a lot of independence, and I think most people realize that I've 131 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,480 said this from the beginning, there's nothing tangible here in this in a sense 132 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:37,519 like a crime that anyone can really you know, you know, get their 133 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,519 brains around and say, wow, I can't believe you did that, because 134 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,240 you know, it's an NDA, it's norm. I mean, they keep 135 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,679 calling it hush money because there really is no crime, so they have to 136 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,360 come up with this hush money phrasing in every single story. I think it's 137 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:54,720 going to make much of a difference as far as the election goes. In 138 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:56,559 fact, I think all this stuff kind of helps him a little bit as 139 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,159 far as like I've said, I know people who aren't crazy about him, 140 00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:03,120 who say, who would vote for him, but aren't crazy about him, 141 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,879 who say, I can't believe they're doing this to him. You know, 142 00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:09,960 I can't believe they're doing this to Donald Trump. He deserves another shot at 143 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,320 the presidency. I mean, that's just anecdotal, but that's what I see 144 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,240 going on at there. How about you, what do you think is going 145 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:22,559 to happen after I don't know. I think, you know, I do 146 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,039 think. I think the kangaroo court conviction is not going to save Biden, 147 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,000 but I'm not sure what the effect will be on Trump. Like, first 148 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,519 and foremost, this never should have happened. It's absolutely horrible for the country, 149 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,559 and it's horrible for him personally. And I'm just amazed that this man 150 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,720 knows he could walk away at any point in time and all of his troubles 151 00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:48,679 would go away, and every day he gets up and just keeps fighting for 152 00:11:48,759 --> 00:11:54,600 the country Like that is truly amazing heroism that we have not really seen among 153 00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:01,639 most politicians, and certainly not among Republicans. It is a tribute to him, 154 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:07,679 and it explains why people are willing to vote for him even though every 155 00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:13,279 institution in America is telling them they shouldn't be allowed to. But I do 156 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,879 think, you know, I don't know. I don't know if there are 157 00:12:16,879 --> 00:12:22,240 Americans who are low information voters, Like the whole point is to secure a 158 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,679 quick and easy conviction, so they can say that he's a convicted felon. 159 00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:31,080 And so when they say that like a thousand million times in the propaganda press, 160 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,240 will that have an effect or not? Will the limp limp weak Republican 161 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,480 response to all of this also cause problems? I don't know. There was, 162 00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:48,000 oh my gosh, John Thunne, who would like to be Mitch McConnell's 163 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:54,279 clone replacement, was asked if he would still vote for Trump if he were 164 00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:56,080 convicted in a show trial, and he was like, I don't know. 165 00:12:56,159 --> 00:13:01,320 We got to look into that like that that's a question that you could you 166 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,519 could be really really dumb and answer well, and he failed that test. 167 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,639 So I get a little nervous about all of these things. Yeah, I 168 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,000 mean, it's it's such an eat. I would say not, you know, 169 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,799 if he's convicted on any of the trials going on now, No, 170 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,080 that will not affect me in any way because they're show trials. I mean, 171 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,399 you know, who knows what's going to happen in the future. I 172 00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:26,639 don't know, but these are show trials. It's very easy to say. 173 00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:31,759 I will say this though, if for some reason they can't get an easy 174 00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:37,320 conviction. I think that is devastating for Democrats. If they can't get a 175 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,320 conviction in New York. I just want to say everyone's basically saying that. 176 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:48,200 Given the judges instructions to convict, regardless of if they can agree on a 177 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:54,000 crime like we're Venezuela, I think I think you should just start planning for 178 00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:58,919 the conviction, like who can withstand this they? You know, have you 179 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,919 served on I forget I was a foreman on a jury. Well, you 180 00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:07,720 know, like the jury instructions they're basically like if two plus two is or 181 00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:09,799 you know, two BLUs two is five, and if two BLUs two is 182 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:15,480 five, you must convict. It takes incredible strength to overcome that, like 183 00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:20,240 they're just going to convict, right. I think jury again, anecdotally, 184 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,759 I would say that juries are very easily led by a judge to wherever the 185 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,759 judge wants them to go. Most of the time, you know, the 186 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,399 juries I've seen, the jury I was on was ready to, like, 187 00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:35,279 you know, move forward simply on their feelings and not the law itself. 188 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,639 So I'm not going to say it was like a twelve Angry Men's situation with 189 00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:45,120 me anybody. I was like, that's not what the law says. How 190 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,240 much does it cost to live in your state?

Oh really coincidence, which I'd never seen before. It 200 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,240 was absolutely fantastic. Just wonderful. That's the one right where one of them 201 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,840 first doesn't one of them stands up and then commit has to convince the rest 202 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:46,480 of the jury. Right, Henry Fonda is the loan holdout for conviction in 203 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:50,519 a capital murder trial, and then slowly over the course of the film, 204 00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:56,720 they all vote not guilty. I was Henry Fonda on my jury. To 205 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,399 give it away, that was a spoiler alert. I was Henry Fonda on 206 00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:04,240 my jury, but I wasn't. I was defending a gigantic corporation. These 207 00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:08,320 people just wanted to donk on for no reason. They hadn't done what I 208 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,320 think, you know, they'd been accused of. So anyway, so I 209 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:17,399 was on a jury and I was in this situation, but I was the 210 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,080 one who was convinced the other way. So unsurprisingly, I voted not guilty 211 00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:27,200 on a conspiracy to commit mail fraud really complicated trial, and it was It 212 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,440 was weird because I was like, pretty darn sure the guy had done it, 213 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,840 but there were in my mind a few holes in the in the government's 214 00:16:37,879 --> 00:16:41,240 case, and I I feel like the government really has to do their job 215 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,879 well. So I voted not guilty along with a couple other people on the 216 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,919 jury, and then our foreman just did a masterful job of you know, 217 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,000 he basically told everybody, sit tight, We're going to be here as long 218 00:16:55,039 --> 00:17:00,440 as it takes. Let's just talk it out. And everyone was really reful, 219 00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:07,799 truly very respectful to a unanimous verdict of guilt. I'm going to say 220 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:11,480 this to you. I was sitting there and we were deciding who should be 221 00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:18,200 foreman, and woman said, you you're wearing glasses. You look smart, 222 00:17:18,759 --> 00:17:22,920 and uh, then I was the forum became very yes. Was she joking 223 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,720 or was she serious? I'm I'm going to tell you this is a long 224 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,240 time ago. And her name was Doris, and she was not joking. 225 00:17:30,079 --> 00:17:34,440 There's a lot of like laid off government workers on that jury I was on, 226 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:37,880 I would say, and was this in d C, New York? 227 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,559 Because I did mine in d C, And like, there are so many 228 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:48,279 trials and grand juries in d C for you know, the DJ to play 229 00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:53,359 games with that you're just constantly called for jury duty. So anyway, but 230 00:17:53,400 --> 00:18:00,640 so you not only need someone who's like voting not to convict in a show 231 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,240 trial, you need someone who's willing to withstand the pressure of all of his 232 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,519 or her jury colleagues. That sounds awesome to me. I mean that sounds 233 00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:11,759 like I would love to be in that situation. But you also have to 234 00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:15,279 stand up to the judge in a way. Here, you also have to 235 00:18:15,319 --> 00:18:18,839 stand up and worry what happens to you after a trial if you live in 236 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,400 New York and you've, like you know, stopped a jury from convicting Trump. 237 00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:27,200 I think all of that probably plays into it. But we'll see. 238 00:18:27,799 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaking of New York, can we move on to a new topic? Sure, 239 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,799 speaking of New York, I might be a little late to this, 240 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:41,599 but I saw that Trump had his Bronx event in the South Bronx. Now, 241 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,480 I think they exaggerated in the number of people who were there, but 242 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,319 it's still an interesting place for him to go, especially when you look at 243 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,079 a lot of the polls and you see that black voters are not enamored with 244 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,839 Joe Biden in the way that a Democratic presidential candidate needs black voters to be 245 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:03,759 in amored with him if he wants to win. So I find that pretty 246 00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:07,759 interesting that I saw He's giving some kind of speech today to you know, 247 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,960 aimed at black voters, shoring up groups that are that are you know that 248 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,519 you need that are foundational to your you know, you know your consensus on 249 00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:22,400 the left. That's not a good sign for Joe Biden. Do you agree 250 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,480 with that? So I got to watch because I was doing a ton of 251 00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:34,880 TV last week, I would find myself in a room watching speeches from President 252 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,519 Biden or President Trump, former President Trump. So I actually got to watch 253 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,599 the Morehouse speech and the Bronx speech. So the Morehouse speech was from President 254 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:51,680 Biden. It was it actually made me feel just very badly for the men 255 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,759 who were graduating from Morehouse. I didn't go to my own commencement, but 256 00:19:55,839 --> 00:20:00,519 I understand they're supposed to be very uplifting, like congratulatory kind of things, 257 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,640 where you say, like go out and seize the day, and you got 258 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:10,680 this. And Joe Biden's was like America hates you, has lied to you. 259 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,920 They're going to kill you in the streets. They're going to hunt you 260 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,839 down and kill you and erase your history. I mean, it was just 261 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:19,359 like so dark, and I was really shocked. And then of course he 262 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:26,240 also has trouble articulating his thoughts and so it was just very painful and dark. 263 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,960 And then the Trump speech in the Bronx. There have been a few 264 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:36,000 speech like he has a standard speech, which is its own thing, and 265 00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:37,400 people love, you know, love to go out to these events and have 266 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,640 fun at them. But there have been a few speeches he's done that actually 267 00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:45,720 stood out, and I would say this Bronx speech was definitely one of his 268 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,680 best. It was weird because he's in New York, because you know, 269 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,480 the city and state of New York are trying to imprison him and destroy his 270 00:20:56,599 --> 00:21:00,759 life and his business and his family, so he has every reason to hate 271 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:06,599 the area. And he gave this beautiful speech about how New York was, 272 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,480 this land full of opportunity, and how much it had meant to him, 273 00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:12,519 and how much he loved the place, loved growing up there. He gave 274 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,920 tips on how to be successful in life. He was funny, he was 275 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:25,319 self deprecating. It was a joyous affair, and it was very optimistic, 276 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,599 and at one point he says something like, I don't care if you're black, 277 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,519 brown, white, or whatever the hell you are. We're going to 278 00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:34,519 make America great again and we're going to get it back on track. And 279 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:41,640 it was just this unifying, uplifting, optimistic message compared with the just like 280 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,599 everything is evil and everyone's trying to kill you kind of speech that Biden had 281 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,160 been giving the previous week to graduates. Yeah, I would quickly say I 282 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,000 thought the more House speech was one of the worst residential speeches I've ever heard. 283 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:03,839 He was first of all, he repeats ernicious lies, like he says 284 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,920 that black people have to work ten times as hard for success in America, 285 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:14,119 which is simply not true. I'm not saying it's a utopia here for black 286 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,440 Americans, but the but almost every corporation, every institution America goes out of 287 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,319 their way to become more diverse. People have tons of chances in this country. 288 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,240 He just told them that they were going to have this the hardest time 289 00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:29,920 making it, you know. Then he told them that they were going, 290 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,839 like you say, they We're going to be hunted on this down and killed 291 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:37,200 in the street by cops, where every statistic tells you that that is not 292 00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:41,039 true. It is not true. Cops are not shooting, you know, 293 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,920 black Americans in the way that you know, I saw a poll where they 294 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,559 ask democrats or let people on the left like how many you know, how 295 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,359 many unarmed black men do you think are shot here and they're like saying they're 296 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,640 like ten thousand, a thousand, like they're giving these massive numbers, and 297 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,000 it was something like, you know, I don't know what it was. 298 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,440 I think it was like twelve or something last year. And most of them 299 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,680 are dangerous, you know, they have a knife or there's something like very 300 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,160 few innocent people anyway, So these are lies and they're cynical, and they're 301 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:18,400 meant to shore up votes with fear. And yeah, I as you know, 302 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,960 I don't love everything Trump says, but he has always has sort of 303 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,720 a positive message about being American. Shout out, Eddy's scary. So so 304 00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:33,480 yeah, that Morehouse speech was just despicable and it's you know, it was 305 00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:37,759 worse than anything any speech Obama and Obama did a lot of let's blame America's 306 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,720 speeches, but he always kind of like couched it in a kind of positivity 307 00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:45,279 that Biden can't. I don't think he's capable of pulling off, you know 308 00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:49,279 what I mean. So I don't know. I wonder if that paranoid is 309 00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:53,279 going to work. Yeah, I don't know. I know that negative campaigning 310 00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:56,119 actually does work. You know, people claim they don't like it, but 311 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:02,680 they actually do like it. Fear Mongering has been a tried and true method 312 00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:06,880 for Democrats to get black people in particular to vote for them, but there's 313 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,440 also kind of a limit to it. I even was reading something from some 314 00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:15,039 left wing journalist who was talking to a black Democrat political leader, and he 315 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:23,119 was like talking about how Democrats act like certain issues are going to appeal to 316 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:29,839 black voters that deal with like incarceration or drugs, and he's like, it's 317 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:36,839 so patronizing to think that black Americans want that and not like capital investment in 318 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,119 their small businesses. We're not living in eighteen sixty and to act like we 319 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:47,400 are is really just it just can be offensive to mean, this is the 320 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,880 guy who said that Romney was going to put black people back into chains. 321 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,319 So it's you know, it's not anything new for him, though it is. 322 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,359 It always makes me laugh that he was an ally of segregationist when he 323 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,599 first got into Congress and now he's he lied over and over in the speech 324 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,279 where he was like, I left, you know, a law firm to 325 00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:08,279 work in the civil rights movement. Like he just makes stuff up completely, 326 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,640 and it's not because he's old anyway. I don't I think you're I don't 327 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,319 think it will work as well, especially with the voting, Like how long 328 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,599 can you keep pretending that black people have no agency and cam vote? You 329 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,079 know, I mean it, anyone who sees reality, anyone who lives in 330 00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:27,640 the world knows that that's not true. I would just say until it doesn't 331 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:33,079 work anymore. You know, people have started to realize that there's something to 332 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:37,839 be said for transactional politics, like less about messaging that you're with someone and 333 00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:42,359 more about like what are you giving this particular group of people or this movement, 334 00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:47,680 you know, when they want when they want something. I mean, 335 00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:52,480 there's a lot of different factions within the Democratic Party, so it's hard to 336 00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:55,720 keep all those people satisfied and keep promising them things. But I guess you 337 00:25:55,759 --> 00:26:03,119 can. So let's talk about the continuing story of sam Alito's flags and neighbors. 338 00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:07,359 I don't really know if there's it's not that's not even an accurate description. 339 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:15,279 It's the continuing story about sam Alito's life's flags and how that means, 340 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,599 despite the fact that there's no problem with having First Amendment rights in this country, 341 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:25,200 that for reasons no one can quite articulate. Samuel Alito should be recusing 342 00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:32,119 himself from his work. Well, I feel like the story was so crazy 343 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,799 that a lot of people, like normal saying Americans, were like, well, 344 00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:37,039 this story is so stupid and unnecessary that I'm not going to pay attention 345 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:42,160 to it. Meanwhile, the entire left wing media apparatus New York Times, 346 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:48,839 Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN, like everybody, CBS, everyone's all in 347 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,559 on this story that, even by stupid story standards, is like too ridiculous 348 00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:59,759 to believe is going on. And there was a new update last night by 349 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:07,000 Jodi kantor the quote unquote reporter who has broken this story wide open. So 350 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:11,480 the story is so she like has written. First story was that there was 351 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:18,599 a neighborhood dispute and Missus Alito hung a flag upside down and then took it 352 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,319 down. The second story was that Missus Alito flew an appeal to Heaven flag, 353 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,519 which is an awesome flag that all Americans should fly, and that, 354 00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:32,279 as you all know, this is a symbol a violent insurrection. Not true, 355 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:37,039 and therefore Sam Alito should recuse from cases, even though he wasn't even 356 00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:41,200 the one flying this flag. The latest story talks to the woman who was 357 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:47,720 the source of the neighborhood dispute, and it is amazing, Like the woman 358 00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:55,160 comes off bat Guano insane. She's a forty year old sort of failed want 359 00:27:55,160 --> 00:28:00,160 to be actress whose mother is a PBS executive. And during the pandemic, 360 00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:06,119 the failed actress and her live and lover who might be your husband now move 361 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:12,960 into the family home and they put up a sign that says f Trump but 362 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,559 spelled out. And the neighbors didn't like this because there are children in the 363 00:28:17,559 --> 00:28:22,119 neighborhood and that's really inappropriate for this PBS executive's daughter to put up a sign 364 00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:26,279 like that. And so the sign goes away one day and missus Alita was 365 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:30,680 like, thanks for taking that down, you know children, and they were 366 00:28:30,759 --> 00:28:33,640 like, oh no, we didn't take it down. It blew over and 367 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,039 it's going right back up, lady. And by the way, you're a 368 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,559 see you next Tuesday. I mean, just like horrific behavior from the neighbors. 369 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:48,599 There's so much more to it, but like they move away, and 370 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,400 then after Dobbs is released, they come back to hold up signs calling for 371 00:28:53,480 --> 00:29:00,720 killing Supreme Court justices at the Alito home and some and how these are the 372 00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:03,680 victims, Like the whole story is written by Jodie Canter as if like these 373 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:10,400 poor, poor, super sweet people who just put up signs saying f Trump 374 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,160 and kill all Republicans and we hate everybody, Like there are these innocent victims 375 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,559 in this, you know, who can't tolerate some stuff like that in the 376 00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:23,240 neighborhood. And how dare anyone in any way look askance at these types of 377 00:29:23,599 --> 00:29:26,279 behaviors. I mean, you're reading it and you're like, wait, we 378 00:29:26,359 --> 00:29:30,480 did this whole story because of these crazy people, and they're the victims. 379 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,160 It's insane. I didn't get a chance to read it. Was it framed 380 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,759 to make them seem like the victims? I mean, how was it? 381 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,599 How can they be the victims? Like? And what what did the Alitos 382 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,839 do? They didn't know it's up? They missus Alito. By the way, 383 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,519 if you know anything about Sam Alito, you know he's about the quietest 384 00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:59,519 and most shy and non confrontational person in the history of the world. And 385 00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:03,920 his wife not so. She was making her mind known. She's kind of 386 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:08,960 a colorful person who does that, but like not in a you know, 387 00:30:10,119 --> 00:30:12,240 they called the cops on her, and the cops were like, you're calling 388 00:30:12,319 --> 00:30:19,200 to report that someone didn't like your sign. Sorry, lady, there's nothing 389 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,599 we can do. And then there was one other thing. Oh, it 390 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:27,519 ends with you're supposed to think it's very bad that missus Alito sent Christmas cards 391 00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:33,119 to everyone in the neighborhood wishing them peace. And it ends like and then 392 00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:38,000 she wished them peace at Christmas. It's like, yeah, there's a bad 393 00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:45,400 person in this story, and it is definitely not Martha Ann Alito. I 394 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,000 saw there was another story somewhere about that. Uh oh, I forget the 395 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,640 guy's name. He used to be like at the Federalist Society and now you 396 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,480 know he's in the legal Leonard Leo. Yeah, that he was flying an 397 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,759 appeal to have in flag as well in Maine, and it's like, I 398 00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:07,640 think it was the main state flag at one point the San Francisco Communist City 399 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,640 Council was flying it. Last year, the Idea and Jerald Beier wrote this 400 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:19,400 great piece at his substack about how The New York Times his own reporting, 401 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:25,599 refused Jody Canter's allegation. So the headline on the original piece was just as 402 00:31:25,599 --> 00:31:30,359 Samuel Alito personally hoists a January sixth Insurrection flag or whatever. None of that 403 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:36,799 was true. And he was pointing out that shortly after the January sixth protest, 404 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,759 the New York Times did like a listing of all the flags that were 405 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:42,960 seen at the protest, and they didn't mention this flag, which they're now 406 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,720 claiming is the signature flag of the j six protest or whatever. It's just 407 00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:53,160 like unbelievable. The pine Tree appealed to Heaven flag is very cool. I 408 00:31:53,160 --> 00:32:00,240 think George Washington commissioned it maybe for some naval stuff or whatever originally. And 409 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:05,599 Ron Swanson had it on his desk and parks and rec and tons of people 410 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,000 have. Mike Johnson had it in front of his office. I don't know 411 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,119 if you remember that Rolling Stone story where you know it was a big deal 412 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:15,039 there. But just because someone uses a flag, and even if they did 413 00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:17,960 at January sixth, first of all, not everyone out there went into the 414 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,920 White House. Not everyone broke the law. No one went into the White 415 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,200 House. But I mean they went commress. Someone should have gone into the 416 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,720 White House a better spot, but oh no, actually so anyway, but 417 00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:31,599 the point is that just because someone uses a flag doesn't mean they now own 418 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,440 that flag forever. I mean, it is just insanity. I've had this 419 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:42,160 with historical figures, like if you talk about like someone who you know who 420 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,680 like white supremacists, also like you're not allowed to mention that kind of philosopher 421 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,079 again or whatever it is. I mean, it's just so insane. So 422 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,480 you know, I don't think putting up upside down flag is a good idea, 423 00:32:54,519 --> 00:32:59,400 by the way, for a number of reasons. If you're a Supreme 424 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,440 Court justice wife, it's just not worth your time and it just gets you 425 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,000 in trouble. But the idea that Sam Alito has done anything wrong or has 426 00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:12,400 undermined the twenty twenty election or will undermine the twenty twenty four election or anything 427 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,200 like that, everyone knows it's nonsense. This is about dobbs, and this 428 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,519 is about destroying diligitala Supreme I wonder if it's very bad news for the Alito's 429 00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:24,319 that they are having to go through a propaganda state media assault on them. 430 00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:28,559 Very bad, and I feel badly for them, But I do wonder if 431 00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,519 it's not good news for the country. And what I mean by that is, 432 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:38,160 does it not indicate that like people in Sodo mayor Kagan and Tanji brun 433 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:43,279 Jackson's off chambers have leaked to their buddies at The New York Times that there 434 00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:47,160 are some bad decisions coming out, meaning good decisions. I just assume that's 435 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,400 the case, because, like it's pretty hard to go after Sam Alito. 436 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,920 He's beyond reproach and it is not true. I just want to say, 437 00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:58,599 you can say whatever you want, but the ultimate issue here is do you 438 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:05,240 lose your constitutionally protected rights if you are married to a Supreme Court justice and 439 00:34:05,319 --> 00:34:07,760 you do not. And that's the only issue. So, like that's what 440 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:13,880 they're going after this woman for. They're saying that she does not have the 441 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,400 right to express her own opinion if she is married to a Supreme Court justice. 442 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,679 It's just not true. She can say whatever the h double hockey sticks 443 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:28,119 she wants. And that's because this is America. You know. They did 444 00:34:28,119 --> 00:34:31,239 the same thing to Clarence Thomas's wife, but I would say this I have. 445 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:37,599 They don't do it to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who publicly said that she 446 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,239 thought that Donald Trump, you know, shouldn't be elected, that he had 447 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:45,440 to release his taxes. Then a case came before the Court on whether to 448 00:34:45,519 --> 00:34:50,920 release his taxes and she didn't recuse, and Jodie Canter her mouth was zipped 449 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,199 shot, like they are such liars and frauds and evil people, and I'm 450 00:34:54,199 --> 00:34:59,719 just so sick of it. I mean, Elena Kagan helped, you know, 451 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:04,840 to right the Obamacare sort of legalities and stuff, and then and argued 452 00:35:05,039 --> 00:35:07,079 for it, and then you know, listen to arguments against it while she 453 00:35:07,159 --> 00:35:14,199 was on the Supreme Court. Anyway, I hope you're right about those like 454 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,639 Chevron deference or something like something's coming down the line. It's gonna be terrible 455 00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:21,280 for the left, I hope. Well, there's that one, although I 456 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,039 wouldn't be surprised if that were written by like Gorcitcher Kavanaugh, because they seem 457 00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:28,960 to be, you know, really into that. But there are a couple 458 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,760 other cases, like presidential immunity that they would probably like to delegitimize, and 459 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,679 most importantly the J six case about whether you can use a narcane provision of 460 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:47,159 Sarbane Oxley to add like twenty years to sentences of grandmothers who peacefully walked into 461 00:35:47,159 --> 00:35:51,239 the capital. That's what I bet they're upset about. I mean, I'm 462 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,199 hoping that I'm not wrong. I have no idea. I mean, I 463 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,760 don't have a ton of sympathy for the J six people. I don't. 464 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,920 But the amount of time and that the punished they're getting are absolutely insane, 465 00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:07,199 especially when you compare them to the punishments that people who actually engage in violent 466 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:13,480 criminality get all the time. I mean, it's just mind boggling. And 467 00:36:13,559 --> 00:36:17,519 so yeah, I don't know. I mean, I just feel like it's 468 00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:24,400 been a years long, maybe you know, five six years since there's just 469 00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:29,679 like the republica Is that the name of that. Yeah, that's the propaganda 470 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:36,159 outlet that is financed by foreign billionaires and others to destroy the one remaining institution 471 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,639 that works in this country, which is the Supreme Court. So Politico does 472 00:36:38,639 --> 00:36:43,440 it all the time, and you know, it's just one after the next. 473 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,880 So I just kind of think it's Alito's turn in a way. But 474 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:51,639 by the way, do you remember that van Halen album for Unlawful Carnal Knowledge? 475 00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:55,320 What is it? Do you not remember that van Halen album which one 476 00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:05,960 for Unlawful Carnal Knowledge? Yeah? That was that, Sammy Hagar? Why 477 00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:08,280 you why? Because I was trying to think of ways to not say the 478 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:15,000 F word, and I wasn't sure. Oh, I think I think F 479 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,440 word spelled out. I think everyone got what you were talking about. You 480 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,719 know. I had a similar thing in Denver. I lived in a like 481 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,000 a townhouse there, and someone parked their car constantly in front of my house, 482 00:37:25,199 --> 00:37:29,119 and it just said F. Bush on their car, like on the 483 00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:31,679 side of their car. And I had little kids at the time, and 484 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:37,800 I wasn't particularly a big fan of George Bush anyway, but I found it 485 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,920 really off putting. And you just know the kind of crazy person that woman 486 00:37:42,079 --> 00:37:44,719 is, like, you know, the type, you know, the PBS 487 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,519 tope bag, the whole. You know, just like unable to live in 488 00:37:47,519 --> 00:37:52,760 a world where anyone is conservative, especially socially conservative. It's got to be 489 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,920 the abortion dry. You know, I'm saying that issue that really drives that 490 00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:01,679 person. Maybe I'm just maybe I'm just project so so just real quickly in 491 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:07,559 my neighborhood, which is overwhelmingly left wing. Although you know, I love 492 00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:13,840 my neighborhood. I love my neighbors, but they all during the hysteria of 493 00:38:14,199 --> 00:38:20,320 June twenty twenty, they all put up these Marxist signs that say ending racism 494 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,760 starts here, with a map to their own house, because that's part of 495 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:30,679 critical race areas that you have to like admit that you are corrupt, like 496 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:36,480 you have to own your own sinful racism if you want to make things better. 497 00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:40,239 Right, it sounds almost religious, like a religious the kneeling that you 498 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,639 saw Nancy Pelosi and the FBI do, Like that's all part of this right. 499 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,079 And so every time I walk by one of these houses, many of 500 00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:52,760 which still have these signs up, I stop. I loudly say to whoever 501 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:58,360 I'm with, these people are racist. Don't ever be racist. I say 502 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,960 to my kids, like, these people are racist. Here they're saying that 503 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:05,159 they're racist. Don't be racist, because I just think it's so stupid. 504 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,840 And then they also have all the like virtue signs, like we're better than 505 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:13,840 you because we, unlike you, believe women are real people, you know, 506 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,199 like all that obnoxious to this house. We believe in science. This 507 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:21,480 house, we believe in science, like wearing masks into the year twenty twenty 508 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,519 four, despite all evidence that they are a good idea or that they're not 509 00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:32,280 a good idea. But some of my neighbors told another neighbor who was defending 510 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:40,320 Brett Kavanaugh not being convicted without like fairness that she sounded like me. So 511 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:45,440 she and I became friends. She didn't know who I was, and she 512 00:39:45,639 --> 00:39:49,320 sought me out, and now we're friends. So I just mentioned all this 513 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,800 because, like, it is kind of weird to be a non leftist in 514 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,000 a left wing neighborhood. They all think they're they're all like think that just 515 00:39:57,039 --> 00:40:00,760 by letting us live here that they are doing some really amazing thing. I've 516 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:05,440 lived a ton of left wing neighborhoods in my life, and I've always noticed 517 00:40:05,519 --> 00:40:08,000 in places like newspapers and elsewhere I worked, that it's always the conservatives who 518 00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:10,480 like whisper to each other, who have to be quiet, who have to 519 00:40:10,519 --> 00:40:15,280 not offend anyone. But the leftists never really feel that way. I do 520 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,480 wonder, though, is it the opposite, say, in some Texas neighborhood, 521 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,480 you know, is it the opposite? I don't know, but I 522 00:40:21,519 --> 00:40:23,960 do know in my life, you know, conservatives, like when I was 523 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,840 at the newspaper at the Denver Posts, people would come up at like the 524 00:40:28,039 --> 00:40:32,800 urinal you know, college, like I also voted for George W. Bush 525 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,360 or whatever they do it. They would never say like I am a conservative, 526 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,039 they'd say, like, you know, I enjoyed what you had to 527 00:40:39,079 --> 00:40:43,199 say there. Yeah, exactly. I like what you had to say there. 528 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,719 Anyway, that's just life. I I and you, You and I. 529 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:52,320 I don't think we feel that shy about voicing who we are or opinions, 530 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,159 though, you know I'm pretty quiet. Also say though, that one 531 00:40:57,159 --> 00:41:02,119 of our children thinks that Mark and I are dangerously left wing. They're that 532 00:41:04,159 --> 00:41:09,760 hardcourt and so that child keeps on wanting to put up like right wing signs 533 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,920 in the yard. And Mark just hates yard signs. He thinks they're obnoxious. 534 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,239 I agree, and so they keep on getting like slipped out into the 535 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:25,159 yard over his objections. He doesn't realize that when you like limit expression from 536 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:30,320 your children that it makes them like it. Even dig in deeper. What 537 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,079 are you going to pull up to your house and there's going to be a 538 00:41:32,079 --> 00:41:37,480 giant appeal to Heaven flag draped over the roof. That'll be me. I'm 539 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,840 actually what I want to do is I want to get in like a cool 540 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,480 appeal to Heaven T shirt, like on white, just crisp. I think 541 00:41:43,519 --> 00:41:46,239 that's going to be It's a really cool flag. I really it's it's I've 542 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:51,159 always liked it. Anyway, let's stop to I mean, I do wonder 543 00:41:51,199 --> 00:41:57,199 what's next. I do wonder what's next for Aldo? Did you see any 544 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,519 movies other than Twelve Angry Men? This week? One of my kids went 545 00:42:00,559 --> 00:42:05,719 to prom and I was waiting for that child to come home, so I 546 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:10,159 just watched like a bunch of stupid stuff like I was done, you know, 547 00:42:10,199 --> 00:42:14,159 like I couldn't work or anything like that. So I watched a There's 548 00:42:14,199 --> 00:42:19,400 this female comedian. She's an older lady. Do you know what I'm talking? 549 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,719 Is she from like Tennessee or something? Yes, Oh, she's hilarious. 550 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:30,760 Uh what is her name? Hold on, I'll pause. So it's 551 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:36,079 Leanne Leanne Morgan. And my mom and my sister really like her, and 552 00:42:36,119 --> 00:42:38,880 so does one of my really good friends. So I decided I would check 553 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:44,360 her out. She's pretty funny. My wife wrote me into watching her, 554 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,000 and I thought she was hilarious when she says and I took to the bed 555 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:52,039 whenever her son doesn't makes me laugh. She's very she has a real so 556 00:42:52,079 --> 00:42:55,880 she used to be like a VH one VJ or something. She had a 557 00:42:57,039 --> 00:43:00,880 very different look when she was young. Yeah, but her her husband sells 558 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:07,280 like mobile homes or something like. She's funny. Liked her. I had 559 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,320 no idea about that, but yeah, I also like when she's talking about 560 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:14,360 like how she has no skills but she was fun in college and that was 561 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,119 what she brought to the table, and how she's a fun mom and all 562 00:43:16,159 --> 00:43:20,800 that. So I liked that. And then I watched, say, a 563 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:27,599 surprisingly good Netflix romance, so don't make fun of me, and I know 564 00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:34,199 it's I know that it's like being like it's a low bar. But it 565 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,840 was called like love at First Sight or something like that, and it was 566 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:42,599 about these two young people who meet at an airport before a flight to London, 567 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,119 and it was really well done, I thought, for being a stupid 568 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:52,719 Netflix romance, I don't even have anything to say about that, Oh you 569 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:54,800 were I thought you were better than that. Me too, but someone's I 570 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,719 like to watch really trashy stuff. And on that line, I also was 571 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,679 like, oh, I never saw The First Wives Club, so I'll watch 572 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:05,360 that. But then the kid came home, you know, twenty minutes into 573 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,280 that. So that's all the further I get, And that's all you needed. 574 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,000 I bet I don't really notice in that I'm gonna say, is Diane 575 00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:15,039 Keaton in that that seems like a something? Yeah? She is? Yeah. 576 00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:19,039 And I realized that my my girlfriend Kate reminds me a lot of Diane 577 00:44:19,199 --> 00:44:22,880 Keaton. And my girlfriend Kate is from Connecticut, as is Diane Keaton in 578 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:27,719 this movie. So well. I mean, I you know, because she 579 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,880 was in all those Woody Allen movies. I like her for that. But 580 00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:37,079 okay, that's it. I don't know much. I only watched. I 581 00:44:37,119 --> 00:44:43,599 watched a show called Tires with It's Shane Gillis's Yes show. I saw that, 582 00:44:43,639 --> 00:44:46,519 I saw the previous for it. How was it? Uh? I 583 00:44:46,559 --> 00:44:49,960 wish it was better, I guess is how I would put it. I 584 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:54,840 mean, it's fine, you know, it's fine. It's just I wish 585 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,280 it was better. I wish it was more Shane Gillis. I would wish 586 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,760 it was funnier. That's all of my expectations were too high because he's made 587 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,559 me laugh so much. I just remember to add two other things I wanted 588 00:45:06,559 --> 00:45:10,159 to mention in our culture segment. One is that I think I've mentioned one 589 00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:15,119 of my kids likes to play tourists in DC on the weekends, and so 590 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:20,519 we went to the Carlisle House in Alexandria, which was the home of this 591 00:45:20,639 --> 00:45:29,519 like really wealthy trader trader before before the founding of the country. Well, 592 00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:31,960 he was kind of like intending to go back to Great Britain, but he 593 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:38,760 ends up becoming American and he hosts the meeting where they hatched the plan for 594 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:44,840 Braddock to go do a direct offensive in the I guess French and Indian War, 595 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,440 and the failure of that leads to George Washington commanding those troops, him 596 00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,719 becoming more esteemed, and also just realizing that the British could be taken on. 597 00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:00,639 And then also I think something maybe like the there was more stuff that 598 00:46:00,679 --> 00:46:04,440 was there that was interesting. I really liked that. And then on Memorial 599 00:46:04,519 --> 00:46:09,320 Day I went to Alexandria National Cemetery, which was started by Abraham Lincoln quickly 600 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,920 ran out of space, so that's when they looked for Arlington to take over 601 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,440 the grounds of Arlington for a national cemetery. But there are you know, 602 00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:22,199 thousands of people buried there, including four people who were trying to find John 603 00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:27,800 Wilkes Booth who drowned in the Potomac as part of that effort, and they 604 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,199 are honored there, and it was I was really glad to go cool. 605 00:46:30,199 --> 00:46:36,360 Well that's unfortunate for them. Well they're you know, they're in heaven. 606 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,400 Now, is it too soon to make fun of them? I I they 607 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,119 got hit They got hit by like a barge while they were sleeping at night 608 00:46:44,159 --> 00:46:46,639 while while they were like posting watch. But they got hit by a barge 609 00:46:46,679 --> 00:46:52,679 and they drowned. So it's not the most wonderful story around. Way to 610 00:46:52,679 --> 00:46:58,239 make fun of them, David, I don't know why it's left. It's 611 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:04,559 horrible. It's a long time. Oh it's okay, Yeah, all right, 612 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,960 that sounds good. I just quickly want to say again, you know, 613 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,599 I went to the album, but I also went on the riverwalk. 614 00:47:09,639 --> 00:47:13,239 Did you do that when you were here? Nope? Never done it. 615 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,639 So it is. I did go to Lafonda, and I highly recommend you 616 00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:20,320 do that, but go on with the riverwalk. I thought it was just 617 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,000 gonna I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a it's touristy and everything, 618 00:47:22,079 --> 00:47:27,400 but it was much nicer than I had anticipated. It was really really 619 00:47:27,599 --> 00:47:30,679 something I think people should do. Come visit here. It's my first time 620 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:36,119 in the city. I don't know where I'll be next week, but we 621 00:47:36,159 --> 00:47:39,159 do need people to continue to send in questions that we can answer, because 622 00:47:39,159 --> 00:47:42,960 we're going to be taping those soon, right right, right right yeah. 623 00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:46,920 Send in your questions to radio at the Federalist dot com and we will answer 624 00:47:47,039 --> 00:47:51,719 them until we talk to you next Bee.
