You're Wrong is off today as Molly and David 6 00:00:36,039 --> 00:00:39,359 continue celebrating the Fourth of July. I guess, but that means I'm here, 7 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,880 and I'm here with the one and only Christopher Bedford, Executive editor over 8 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,920 at the Common Sense Society. Chris, Welcome, how is your fourth of 9 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,159 July? It was awesome? I actually I think I made the best cheeseburger 10 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:56,000 I've ever made so far. What was the what made it different? Things? 11 00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:58,799 This has been a long journey. I used to have a barbecue, 12 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,560 a burger high test in my backyard. I charged five bucks a burger and 13 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,159 people would go off and they have votes. And I started off within a 14 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,799 really something that a purist would not appreciate. I mean I had some sloppy 15 00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:15,079 Joe mix in there, I had blue cheese in there. I had French 16 00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:19,680 onion mix in there hot sauce, eggs, worce to share and it was 17 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,760 a great burger. But I don't know if Purist would even quite colored a 18 00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:27,400 burger. And this is what you made yesterday? I had Worcester, sure, 19 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,920 hot sauce, blue cheese, what else? That's crazy? That seems 20 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,879 that's what I made in high school and college. Okay. I was like, 21 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,159 that's there's something going on here. So I want to go back. 22 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:41,319 For fraternity unions. I think they pick up the ingredients. It's like part 23 00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:44,439 of the ritual. Now, let's just pick up the ingredients and I grow 24 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,359 them up at the party appwards. But no, I changed. You know 25 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,040 a lot of a lot of bars and restaurants to have these bestro burgers that 26 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,680 you can't eat like it's you have to unhinge your jaw, like the way 27 00:01:56,719 --> 00:01:59,959 the French should show affection to each other in order to eat this burger. 28 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,719 And it's a mess and it falls apart and there's just too much and you 29 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,080 can't eat it and it's annoying. You end up eating like a burger salad. 30 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,960 And I was at this bar writing for the Federals during COVID. There's 31 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,159 something Star Saloon and Utah, north of Salt Lake City, oldest bar west 32 00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:20,639 of the Mississippi, and they ate this amazing burger. There was just really 33 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:24,439 thin with fresh sliced tomatoes in the backyard and lades and bacon and just an 34 00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:28,360 old fashioned mon cooked them the griddle. And I've become like really devoted to 35 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,560 the gridle recently and grinded my own burger. I just I know it's just 36 00:02:31,599 --> 00:02:38,560 gonna annoysome people, but I think a grilling meat has too many, too 37 00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:42,960 many pitfalls. Like if you're grilling burgers, you're you're losing on that grease, 38 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,879 you could be cooking them in. You're lading of fires under the grill 39 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,039 is slamming out on everyone's can say, like it's a back grill or whatever. 40 00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,599 I've got used to grill professionally, and you're still light fires. It's 41 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,319 just better to cook most of those things on the griddle like you get in 42 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,599 a great diner. And so yesterday's burger, to get to it, it 43 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:04,680 was eighty percent elk, which my friend, my friend regular shot elk is 44 00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:08,919 delicious meat, but it's kind of no fat. So I wanted to come 45 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,080 up with a twenty percent fat content to add it. So I ground up 46 00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:22,960 just cheap Safeway bacon twenty percent Safeway bacon eight percent ground elk and took that 47 00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:27,400 on cast iron with a salt, pepper and garlic. I think that, 48 00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:30,280 yeah, all I put in there. They did a smash burger style and 49 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:35,319 put it on a toast. It just cheap on from the grocery stores where 50 00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:38,240 I live in Joe Biden's America. And even a cheap cookout costs like one 51 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,479 hundred and thirty bucks once you get the charcoal together and the light and everything 52 00:03:40,479 --> 00:03:45,800 else. And because Sarah didn't insist on charcoal even though it was ninety two 53 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,919 degrees and I was cooking the burgers inside, and then I didn't add usually 54 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,240 had like red onion. I think that the English mustards are great things to 55 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,919 add to burgers. I had catchup mayonnaise out there. No one added anything, 56 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,800 just hating them straight, like no, that's one hundred percent the sign 57 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,800 of a good burger. Um if you can eat it without any condiments. 58 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,280 There's a great place in northern Wisconsin. I love that. Just the burger 59 00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:14,120 itself is so good. It would be terrible to put anything on. It 60 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,360 would be so much worse to have to put anything on it. So I 61 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,920 don't object to putting things on the burger, but I do think if you're 62 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,839 testing the quality of the burger itself, that's essential, like can it be 63 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:27,800 eaten without the accountremont And that's where you know whether the burger itself is fantastic. 64 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,800 Yeah, and I guess, I mean twenty percent of it was. 65 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,360 The bacon was kind of I guess I count. It's like putting ketch up 66 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,639 in your burger and say, my burger is so good it doesn't need ketch 67 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:44,959 up. Yeah, but I I love American cheese and a burger. Blue 68 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,480 cheese is great in a burger, But most of those cheeses you get like 69 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:49,439 they have most restaurants weren't even off for your American cheese, Like what doesn't 70 00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:54,199 melt right? Yea? The America like it's party. I know people like 71 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:56,600 wat it's not even a real cheese. I know, yea, but I 72 00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:00,600 like it. I also had just a fantastic burger yesterday's smash burger style with 73 00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:05,920 American cheese not too thick and toasted, bund super easy, super simple, 74 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,759 and that's exactly what you want. Now, I don't I'm not like saying 75 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:15,480 some of the experimental stuff people do isn't interesting, but there's just nothing like 76 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,639 a burger on its own. So what did you do for? I just 77 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,079 hung out, you know, here and here in DC. I was up 78 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,519 in Maine over the weekend, but it did the what nine hour drive? 79 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,439 Came back down here and I was in They're and back. That's right. 80 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,439 Why you know, I recently just got a used car. I wanted to 81 00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:39,959 put some miles on it. See how it did. To be honest with 82 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,480 you, Yeah, why you drive on fourth of July weekend to New England. 83 00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:47,000 That's that's a lot of traffic. A few of my friends from college 84 00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:50,759 all happened to be free, um at this exact same time, which is 85 00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:54,920 super rare. All of our significant others happened to be free at the exact 86 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,560 same time, so it was fantastic. Where you go? We went, 87 00:05:59,759 --> 00:06:02,639 like the Wells area, a gun Quit area. Beautiful. I mean it's 88 00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:09,160 amazing. You get fried clan Bullbilly. I did do Barnacle Billy's clamchowder, 89 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,160 but again I was actually only there for two days, so she didn't do 90 00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:14,920 fried clams. You can get a kind of shower here, but you can't 91 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,079 get really a whole belly fried plan in the minute lack. I'm not a 92 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,639 big like fried clam person, to be honestly, do you even know I'm 93 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:25,639 I tried trying to meet sticks when I was in room temperature cheese. It 94 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,639 doesn't need to be refrigerated when I visited your state, And you're not going 95 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,240 to try a fried clan, And I'll go, that's true, so fast 96 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,879 it Frankly, you know, now that you say it in that way, 97 00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:38,600 I guess I should have thought twice about it. But you know, I'm 98 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,399 not a big sea food person. Just in the Sarah and she loves a 99 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,519 full belly fried clan. Really Okay, well that's interesting, but she doesn't 100 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,680 mind any secret that looks like it did when it was alive. That's a 101 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:53,079 Blue Crabs Nors trilogy, rayfish. Really, She's like, what do you 102 00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,600 do with this? I guess your suck on the head and you squeeze the 103 00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:59,120 tail. Oh see, I actually love Blue Crab and crofit. That's yeah, 104 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:02,240 that's she's wrong on um anywhere this is We're going probably a little bit 105 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,879 too deep into the culinary weeds on a personal level. But all of that 106 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,480 aside I couldn't do a whole podcast on it. We've done many whole podcasts. 107 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,560 I remember we did a whole podcast on how to grill the perfect Fourth 108 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,839 of July meal a couple of years ago. So folks that are interested, 109 00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:19,240 they can go listen to that one. Um. It was actually a really 110 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:24,279 interesting conversation. All that aside. Um, there's cocaine in the White House, 111 00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:30,879 it's actually in the library. In the library, Like when the story 112 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,519 came out, I thought maybe the way they said it, they said white 113 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,600 House property or White House grounds. It's something that Secret Service, the White 114 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,879 House itself put out, And I was like, does that mean somebody like 115 00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:44,480 accidentally dropped their cocaine on Pennsylvania Avenue it got kicked under the fence or something 116 00:07:44,519 --> 00:07:46,480 like that. No, it was in the library of the White House. 117 00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:50,759 Yeah, I mean, and people do. I mean. I I was 118 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,600 at a wedding one time where somebody found cocaine. It's like, people, 119 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,680 listen, you know what you're you're doing it. You lose a track, 120 00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:01,199 You're you're not always making the strongest decisions, the best decisions when you're on 121 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:05,480 cocaine. When I first started, I assumed there was like on top of 122 00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:09,319 a toilet, paper roller or something in the bathroom or like on a counter 123 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:13,720 in a restroom. But to learn that it was in the White House library, 124 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,600 which is you know, it's it's not something where staffers would be. 125 00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:22,680 It would be for family because I think it's private living quarters. It's it's 126 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,759 in the actual residence. Staffers can't just walk into the library there, so 127 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,560 you'd have to be a high level staffer or a member of the family, 128 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,000 or probably a member of the staff, which I guess they could probably blame 129 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,919 it out there. There is one person in the White House there's frequent access 130 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:45,879 who is a confirmed fiend for cocaine and also sometimes leaves things behind places and 131 00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:50,039 forgets about them. Doctor Jill, Doctor doctor Jill. Then it's a great 132 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:58,919 educator. So my main question here is do you did he lose the coke 133 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,960 and Hunter loves the cocaine in the library because he just had so much of 134 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,159 it that he lost track. Or did he lose it because security was coming 135 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,840 in or I mean, there's no such thing as leftover crack, and there's 136 00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:13,840 usually not so such thing. It's leftover cocaine, like people look for that 137 00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:18,639 when they lose it. Well, yes. First of all, yes, 138 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,000 But secondly, I have a hard time understanding how staff would get cocaine into 139 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000 the White House, even very high level staff. It seems more likely to 140 00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:31,279 me that's not hard to smuggle drugs, small amounts of powdered drugs. I 141 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:33,759 mean the dogs. They have dogs at the White House, so they prey 142 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:37,600 through a sniff test. But dogs are either trained to sniff out explosives or 143 00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:41,759 snipout drugs, which I learned from my friend of mine. He's a smuggle. 144 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,559 He said. If you're not flying out of Denver or Miami or I 145 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,519 think Dallas is a couple of airports, they don't have drugs sniffing dogs. 146 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:56,879 They have explosive snipping dogs. This concludes Bedford's how to Smuggle Drugs lesson Today's 147 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,879 podcast. No, I mean, it's not going to pop on a metal 148 00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:07,799 detector. It's not gonna it's not gonna show up as explosives. It's not 149 00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:13,440 going to learn an explosive sniffing dog. So if you have like a dime 150 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,679 bag in your pocket, you could probably walk into the White House. Also, 151 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,320 a White House security is like, like much of American security is kind 152 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,039 of exaggerated. We exaggerated to make people not take that shot. But as 153 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,279 we learned during the Obama years, like, if you want to build a 154 00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:28,879 helicopter at home, you can probably land it in the White House lawn. 155 00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,440 If you want to jump the fence, you might be able to get through 156 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,679 a door before someone even notices you there. When I was in college. 157 00:10:33,759 --> 00:10:37,000 In college, we're taking my parents rounds. We imagine we walk to the 158 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,759 White House. We're like, man, there's like thirty cypers from their scopes 159 00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:43,559 on us right now as we walk by. That's totally not true. It's 160 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,759 not true at all. And you could probably you can walk out with confidential 161 00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:50,519 papers, you could probably walk in with cocaine. And as we learned, 162 00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:54,480 who can land a helicopter on the lune? Now? I actually think that 163 00:10:54,759 --> 00:11:00,080 people have, Yeah, so Willie Nelson, I think Snoop Dogg there and 164 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,039 full of celebrities who said that they've smoked weed in the White House. And 165 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,480 I think before it was legalized in the district, which is which which actually 166 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:13,559 would really go along with your theory. Support that supports your theory that it's 167 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,600 really just not that difficult to submit. It takes law in order to maintain 168 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,240 law. And order, Like people have to have a fear and respect of 169 00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:22,919 the law because like the reality which we are living in in Washington, DC 170 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,120 right now with the teenage crime waves, is you probably won't get caught like 171 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:33,600 those television shows about the people get caught. I mean, if you're brazen, 172 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,919 if you do it, you'll generally be fine. You'll you'll you'll read 173 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,919 about people who go to prison for things like that's not leading drugs on an 174 00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:45,120 airplane with something. But I mean there's like millions of pounds of illegal narcotics 175 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,360 moving through the United States every day, and there's time least people get interested. 176 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,039 Well, this is the way I was thinking about it, is that 177 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:54,919 if you're if you're taking a I wasn't so much thinking of it as drugs 178 00:11:54,919 --> 00:11:58,039 but a white powder bringing it into the White House. I'm just again, 179 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,960 I know you can smuggle or imagine you can smuggle things in like that, 180 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,799 But do you know what they've always pull aside me for the airport as if 181 00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:09,480 I go anywhere with talcom powder or something like, they'll always pulled out aside 182 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:15,320 and test it because it's a large quantity of powder. But obviously I've I've 183 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000 never smuggled drugs on an airport, an airplane, even if I want to 184 00:12:18,039 --> 00:12:20,879 probably check it out at the end. And so what happens to get caught 185 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,440 sall embarrassing, But I have a good story about that. But I'm like, 186 00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:28,559 they can tell it. They can probably take a you can probably do 187 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:31,080 small amounts. I mean, that's the question is how much struggs was it? 188 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,360 And was it a family member who's going to walk through without getting searched. 189 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,279 I mean, everyone knows that members of the Biden family are above board. 190 00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:43,320 They wouldn't be like hiding secret documents or moving illicit in our cotics through 191 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,200 the White House. They would like they're they're beyond approach. Well, remember 192 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:52,440 when it was recently reported that someone snuck into Jake Sullivan very high level White 193 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:58,440 House staff or Jake Sullivan snuck into his home and secret he had a like 194 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:01,919 big security deep or our seven security detail, and they didn't catch it. 195 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,960 And then that's like a drug person went into the wrong house or something right 196 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,159 and then didn't it happened again. I'm not remembering the specifics of what happened 197 00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,639 again, maybe it was like I'll look it up, But every time this 198 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,799 happens in the Biden administration, the right wing explodes with like they're obviously gay. 199 00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:20,399 It's like always the first reaction of like the right wing blog is sphere 200 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,799 and then and it does not help because no, like no police officer ever 201 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,399 wants to actually answer the questions. They locked it up and it's all secret, 202 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,639 and like when that happened, just like the first text messages, who 203 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,679 were that conspiracy theory is laughing at it. So I also say, like 204 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,440 the so, what part of this is a If it's Hunter Biden calls into 205 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,080 question why he's been traveling so much with the President of the United States. 206 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,480 If it was a friend of Hunters, which seems totally plausible to me, 207 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,960 that someone was able to bring it in, had it on their person whatever, 208 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,679 and ditched it in the library, left in the library whatever again, 209 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,759 or a friend of I actually think there are a lot of Biden family members 210 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:05,960 living at the White House right now, so you can imagine, you know, 211 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,960 any friend coming in and just leaving stuff around. You could imagine it 212 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,720 being Hunters. Maybe he had some like musician in the White House who brought 213 00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:18,399 it an undetected was a guest of the presidents. Although I was comfortable enough 214 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:24,440 to pump out a couple of lines in the library, like not even like 215 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,600 this, like a key bunk like us, Like I want to line this 216 00:14:26,679 --> 00:14:31,000 out in the White House library. If they were already high, it would 217 00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:35,320 not surprised me that someone made that decision. But all this is to say, 218 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,159 like this, so what isn't like we can talk about this, a 219 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,919 joke about it all the day, but it's just like, what is going 220 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,120 on in the house? Did you see Steve Guests? Steve Guests used to 221 00:14:46,159 --> 00:14:48,799 be a ted cruise before there with the RMC. He's just a rapid fire 222 00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:52,840 Twitter animal. And he pulled a clip from c Span from last night he 223 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,159 turned his black fourth fireworks a hunter coming up in the balcony and I got 224 00:14:56,159 --> 00:15:01,000 news you as someone who's been in DC politics for long and before that went 225 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,080 to an American college. That guy is yacked up. He is He is 226 00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:09,519 high as a kite. He's reading hard, looking back and forth, wiping 227 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,240 his hair back truck. He's like, he's like if someone was on speed 228 00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:16,919 who's trying to act cool, what he would do? What he would do? 229 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000 And Steve Guests is tweeted that this is the hunter Biden schif that you 230 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,720 needed so, I mean, is he still smoking crack? Maybe not, 231 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,960 but there's it's it's hard for an act to addict to quit trucks and the 232 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:37,200 and the combination of this evidence found at the White House, this footage looks 233 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,080 bad for him. I liked Megan McCain's point the other day, which is 234 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:46,840 that if there had been somebody exposing their their breasts on the White House lawn 235 00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,960 and cocaine found the next week in a Republican white House, what kind of 236 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,399 explosion do you think would have happened? Don't you don't remember this? But 237 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,360 the coverage of the bush Girls was merciless. They weren't doing anything like like, 238 00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:02,279 they weren't doing that at the White House, but there was. It 239 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:07,759 was tough coverage on them. No coverage Trump's family was brutal. But the 240 00:16:07,799 --> 00:16:15,960 Bidens, the Bidens can do no evil.

How dare you? And if you do, you are kicking a 250 00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:55,440 man while he's in the throes of substance abuse and are bad and of yourself? 251 00:16:55,639 --> 00:17:00,960 I mean again, like, the serious question is whether Secret Service is 252 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,279 like completely incompetent protecting the highest office, the leader of the free world. 253 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,400 I mean, I guess it's just a little bit of cocaine. I guess 254 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,000 it's just a little bit of cocaine. You can't mess around with that stuff. 255 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,000 The Chinese have done more of sober Up Washington, DC than a million 256 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:23,240 dare advertisements because if you do cocaine now you're dropped death at all. And 257 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,000 it's also just part of this pattern. We've seen breaches recently that seemed inexplicable, 258 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,440 So that's concerning and further to be a breach that close to the seat 259 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,519 of power, the literal seat of power, I think is absolutely concerning. 260 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,359 Second of all racist questions, Like we publish a really good piece of the 261 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:45,759 Federalists by Matt Boebe a week back on how Hunters shady lobbying predates his problems 262 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,000 with substance abuse or his current problems with substance abuse. He had been recovered 263 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,279 and then sort of in the middle of all of that, got involved with 264 00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:00,480 these foreign lobbying campaign at large. And so the cocaine to me, if 265 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,519 it does belong to Hunter Biden, which there's a good I think there's a 266 00:18:03,519 --> 00:18:07,160 decent case. So the decent likelihood that it does, I don't know if 267 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,119 it's you know, more likely than not, but it seems like there's definitely 268 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,240 not the only person who have access to the White House who uses others, 269 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,599 right, including his father, right. But I think those are ministered by 270 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,680 a doctor. But the Prince had a doctor. I think Michael Jackson had 271 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,359 a doctor. Hang Williams had a doctor, Johnny Cash and a doctor. 272 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,160 Yes, although in those cases, the recent ones, at least Michael Jackson, 273 00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:33,880 I don't know their name, is actually prescribing cocaine itself. Yes, 274 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,799 if you go further back. But all that is to say, Um, 275 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,279 this is the actual there's a serious national security question of somebody who's been at 276 00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:45,119 Camp David, who's been at the White House, living at the White House, 277 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,559 and has very very very close access to the president. It could be 278 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,519 compromised, um, and could be in in a less than sounds How do 279 00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:59,519 you get compromised once once the whole world knows that you've slept with your dead 280 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,440 brother his wife well married, what are they what are they gonna what are 281 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,720 they gonna put on you that compromises you? Well, your reprotations on impeachable 282 00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:11,759 at that point, that's true, although he like what he's doing now is 283 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:18,359 new and it's directly related to his father's time as president of the United States. 284 00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:21,119 Yes, and this is different, And this is not that they trying 285 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,920 to excuse us with drugs. And there are people out there, a lot 286 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,960 of ourls just probably know them. Who knows someone who fell into alcohol or 287 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,759 drug addiction and ruined their family, shoated on their wife or out of their 288 00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:34,599 husband, or was a bad father or but I don't know anyone who got 289 00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,400 to take to the drugs and made millions of dollars still at the White House 290 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,400 to the Chinese of the Ukrainians. That's a that's one heck of a high. 291 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,720 Yeah, hey wow, that was actually a very well like who've done 292 00:19:45,799 --> 00:19:52,200 full circle wise in terms of keeping the metaphor going um Chris the other thing 293 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,839 we wanted to talk about, And this gets to the double standard question too. 294 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:02,799 That is an emerging narrative for the last So you have potentially Hunter Biden 295 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,000 or someone affiliated with Biden. We know that. We know that at this 296 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,559 point because nobody else would have gotten into the library with cocaine in the Biden 297 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:14,759 White House. We'll see what happens. But you have that situation. You 298 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,839 have generally like the New York Pizza oven situation, the guests of situation, 299 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:26,559 the long running now do J double standard that continues to be. We see 300 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:30,759 the selected prosecutions of and I think this was really well done in the Durham 301 00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:36,480 Report, the selected prosecution of Trump versus Hillary Clinton. He laid out the 302 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,880 case for that really well. So there's this large emergent narrative that is kind 303 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,240 of sad to talk about it in the week of the fourth of July. 304 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,960 But you see a system like our so easily slipping into it's actually exactly what 305 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:51,400 you just said about the rule of law. It's that is the actually the 306 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:56,759 perfect transition here, because you're working on a story right now about carbon and 307 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:03,319 what one thing we know is that as carbon is restricted by force of government 308 00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:07,519 and in some very creative and novel ways, what we are going to see 309 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,640 is a double standard. What we are going to see is the rule of 310 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,519 law being a being not just broken but shattered, and we're going to see 311 00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:19,480 a laws applied differently to different people. Tell us a little bit about what 312 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,319 you're working on, and if you could do it in the context of the 313 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,599 point you made earlier about rule of law, I think that would be really 314 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,920 helpful. Well, it's it's not what we're seeing as a double statard. 315 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,000 It's what we can call it, heeds a call it. That's called hypocrisy. 316 00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:38,160 But it's just the realization and revealing, the pulling back the curtain. 317 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,960 Who actually is in control? And I got any show like you might you 318 00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:45,279 might elect some more Republicans in the next election, but that doesn't mean a 319 00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:49,480 conservative interests or in control of this country in any of the commanding heights. 320 00:21:49,519 --> 00:21:55,160 They don't hold it. I kind of feel like like a socialist might in 321 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,880 nineteen twenties America, where it's like, oh, yeah, we may have 322 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,759 some power. We can do this. You can go out, you can 323 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,640 straight in the streets, you can yell in the unions. You've got a 324 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,759 couple of people who are yelling from the state houses. But they're not they're 325 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:08,200 not in charge of this country. Yes that they don't control the industry, 326 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,079 they don't control the military, they don't control the education. They don't control 327 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:17,599 you. And that's where conservatives find themselves now, and they pick and choose. 328 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,200 I guess what they want to penalize, but one thing to keep an 329 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,400 eye on to start, But you see conservatives, I think it's helpful to 330 00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:27,000 also be like to recognize it's not just conservatives at this point, it's probably 331 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,200 sixty percent of the country that sees the excesses of progressivism and isn't there they're 332 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,599 more centrist or independent and not necessarily conservative, but across the board on things 333 00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:44,119 like selected prosecution, rule of law, trans athletes. You know, you 334 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,440 can go down the line at sixteen nineteen project all of this. Um, 335 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:52,559 they don't they don't have voices. Yeah, they pushed out a lot of 336 00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:56,079 folks will actually make a lot of these calls. I mean, I don't 337 00:22:56,079 --> 00:23:00,559 even really think the leaders in Washington may eighty year old oxygenerias and scripting the 338 00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:04,599 power are really in command. There's a lot of different whether Silicon Valley or 339 00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:10,279 Titans of Industry or some of the global corporation, corporate leaders, those sorts 340 00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:12,319 of frankful lot of the calls New York City, it thinks a a little 341 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,759 bit removed that, but it doesn't remind me of Now there's a there's an 342 00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:21,160 anti human agenda afoot, and they're a hashment for a long time, but 343 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,920 it's really taking shape in the environmentalist movement in particular and the Netherlands. They're 344 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,400 making it legal further, they're shutting down farms. They're saying you have to 345 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,839 cut you have to cut your kurds by about a third, or we're going 346 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:40,839 to close you because herds lot off nitrogen, which is a natural byproduct of 347 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:42,839 life. Now, when the environmentalists started, this is what I'm writing about 348 00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:47,039 it, at least when environmentalism started, they were trying to clean chemicals under 349 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,559 rivers. They were trying to make it so you wouldn't get ill when you 350 00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:52,519 swam in the Charles River or in the Chesapeake Bay. They're trying to make 351 00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:56,279 it so you wouldn't get ill breathing the air in San Francisco or Maine or 352 00:23:56,319 --> 00:23:59,000 New York City. You know, there's a lot of pollution in Maine. 353 00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:00,839 Actually kind of funny enough because it comes right up the Gulf Stream and just 354 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:07,720 gets stuck up there from all the corporate from all the industry south And those 355 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,160 are enviable goals. But now the two mains things that have really sort of 356 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,599 the change is the regulation of this natural outputs of life, whether it's carbon. 357 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,279 They're trying to stop wood stove wood, wood burning pizza ovens in New 358 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,039 York City, and bakeries the place in the home of the New York Bagel, 359 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:30,880 the home of the New York Slice because burning trees is bad. I 360 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,400 mean, that's just a natural output. Carbon is something that we breathe out 361 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,200 when and nagrogen this is something that's emitted by cattle which we eat. These 362 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,640 are animals, but it comes from a point of view of people who think 363 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:48,119 that humans themselves are pollutants on this planet that must be handled, It must 364 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,880 be dealt with. The humans themselves need to be targeted. So it starts 365 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,839 off as like all these stupid jokes like that we're dealing with the New York 366 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,799 I can't believe we're going to do this, But it ends up with what 367 00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:06,599 they're doing right now on Holland, which is destroying the livelihood of an agricultural 368 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:15,319 bread basket of the continent to over apparently increased nitrogen levels and parts of the 369 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,200 environment that are completely used to that level of nitrogen. So it's not like 370 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:23,000 like nitrogen is something that can affect biodiversity in environments that are not used through 371 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,400 the levels of nitrogen potentially, but this is not the case, and nitrogen 372 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:33,599 has been reduced across Europe over thirty years. It's been continually a klinient since 373 00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:36,000 the nineteen nineties, and now they're going to wipe out the herders. The 374 00:25:36,039 --> 00:25:40,960 herds that's completely inscite, and I mean New York City is it's easier to 375 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,319 breathe in except on a hot summer day, so it's disgusting garbage in that 376 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,960 high city, but it's easier to breathe there than it was when there was 377 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,640 actually more industry age when a long time since there was a lot of heavy 378 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:55,759 industry Manhattan. Why are they going into the peace atums? Does anyone walk 379 00:25:55,839 --> 00:25:57,599 through the streets? They the band smoking cigarettes in New York You can't even 380 00:25:57,599 --> 00:26:02,400 have a cigar in Central Park getting yelled at it, and they has anyone 381 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:03,640 I've been walking to New York City and said, man, I can't breathe 382 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:10,400 here because someone's making pizza. It's just anti human. Well, and the 383 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:17,640 other thing I was recently reading about was how the EU subsidized farming in the 384 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,799 Netherlands for They have been subsidizing it for years and years and years, and 385 00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:26,519 now they're pulling the rug out from under people who they have subsidized, meaning 386 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,599 they have been encouraging it. Right, So there is subsidies aren't incentives, 387 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,640 And so you have them creating these market incentives for decades, people building their 388 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,000 lives around it, and then pulling the rug out from under them and acting 389 00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:42,119 like it whatever, We're going to keep flying on our private jets. But 390 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,640 yeah, and that's to the rule of law part there exactly. It's the 391 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:51,240 same thing that Eric Adams is doing. They are suddenly discovering a zeal and 392 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:57,200 an extremely strict interpretation for different rules that bureaucrats or a past maybe in some 393 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,319 cases over a decade ago, Like they just woke up one day and they 394 00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:03,400 decided that they're going to read the law this way. Yeah, and that's 395 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,160 a that's a fun mental breakdown. I mean, just because there's a law 396 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,640 that you could point to doesn't make it rule of law. It's it's if 397 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,440 it's especially in the case of the Netherlands, where they're specifically targeting a single 398 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,599 group of people, it's not a rule of law. I could write a 399 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,640 law tomorrow that says people with the name Emil Kraschinski and not allowed to cross 400 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,599 the street anymore, and that would not be a rule of law. That 401 00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:30,519 would be targeted attack against you and anyone else who shares who shares your lovely 402 00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:33,599 name. This is the same thing they're dealing with the Netherlands. Uh. 403 00:27:33,839 --> 00:27:36,119 This code in the New yorkspan on the books for a while, but they 404 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:42,240 had to elect a bug eating vegetarian to be their new mayor before somewhat before 405 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,960 he decided that he was going to start cracking down on this. Yeah, 406 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,720 and he's not really a bug eater, he's a vegetarian. But it's kind 407 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,880 of a word to use for all these yeah, all these weird new people 408 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,839 who are like like some of them my friends, Like, why why would 409 00:27:56,839 --> 00:28:00,559 you enjoy a nice meal when you could just drink a protein shake? Yeah, 410 00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:03,279 and you walked through New York City. I like New Yor City. 411 00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:07,119 I'll be back up there next one for a few days. But I mean 412 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,839 humans the only the only other creatures on the planet that live like they do 413 00:28:10,839 --> 00:28:14,519 in New York City, or insects, Chris, And that's should that should 414 00:28:14,519 --> 00:28:18,519 give you some thought. Chris has transitioned fully into his boomer era. His 415 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:21,400 glasses are like almost all the way down to the tip of his nose, 416 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:29,119 and he's ranting about Manhattan bug eaters and I've lost my microphone, so can 417 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,880 you please I'll lead a new emistency. Oh, it's all right. That's 418 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,680 that. Though. One point I think is important, and especially I mean 419 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,880 Chris and I both have been aligned found ourselves at various points in our career, 420 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:48,519 like aligned with libertarians, but less so now much much much less so 421 00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:52,279 now, often on the complete opposite side of those debates. But I really 422 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,519 one thing I find so incredibly frustrating is when we're talking about the just think 423 00:28:57,559 --> 00:29:03,319 of these subsidies subsidies to Dutch farmers for years and years that they then use 424 00:29:03,519 --> 00:29:10,759 to completely uproot a lifestyle or a career that you've sort of built your family 425 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,559 and your livelihood around. Well, that's why the answer to a lot of 426 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:19,720 this stuff is genuinely like no, no to that, and no to that, 427 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,759 no all around, because we've inflated the size of government to the point 428 00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:27,680 where here in the US you have people in New York or like a great 429 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:32,000 example, what we talk about a lot is that the vaccine mandate. I 430 00:29:32,039 --> 00:29:36,319 know that the courts obviously struck this down, but was justified by the Biden 431 00:29:36,319 --> 00:29:41,799 administration was predicated. They predicated their justification for it by an obscure provision in 432 00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:45,680 OSHA, like the law that Nixon signed establishing OSHA. And a lot of 433 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:52,279 this bureaucracy is just snowball to the point where you have subsidies that are being 434 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,160 used as leveraged by elites in different places. You have obscure provisions of laws 435 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:02,440 that are being leveraged by elites in different places that were asked on this in 436 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,279 this sort of good faith social contract. Whether you agree with it or not, 437 00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:08,319 I know a lot of conservatives were pressient looking at things like Ocean. 438 00:30:08,359 --> 00:30:11,440 Even though it was signed by a Republican president, a lot of real like 439 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,839 small government conservatives were prescient on how some of this stuff would happen. And 440 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,799 it's not just you know, that doesn't mean you have to be categorically against 441 00:30:19,839 --> 00:30:26,240 subsidies. It doesn't mean you have to be categorically in favor of free markets 442 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,799 or category. It just means that we can sort of walk in chew gum 443 00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:34,599 at the same time and say a lot of this stuff is just playing the 444 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:41,880 combination of elites being willing to overreach and having the bureaucratic tools to overreach. 445 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:47,000 And I think subsidies and bureaucracy are a huge, huge part of that, 446 00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:52,000 and the right should be much more smart about making that argument. Yeah, 447 00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:53,559 I mean, I think that's totally correct. I have to leave in a 448 00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:57,359 second to pick up Christopher from camp. But my general thanking is with the 449 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,599 size of government, the size of the authorities, they're grinding themselves. If 450 00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:06,480 you want to find a regulation to shut down Jewish bakeries and Italian pizzerias, 451 00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:11,759 you can do it. And if you've got the boldness to just ran some 452 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,240 cocaine, as the White House you can do it. You just need to 453 00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:18,839 be. You just need to be, have to have vision these people I 454 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,200 want. I want a Netherlands without farmers. And who could smuggle? I 455 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,720 want to get high in the library, which is a nice room, right, 456 00:31:29,359 --> 00:31:30,039 I'm sure it is. I've never been in there. But who could 457 00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:37,759 smuggle cocaine into the White House Library better than a renowned artist, renowned artists? 458 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,240 Bound artist? Yeah, I would think great painter, a contributor to 459 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:48,920 Western culture. There's someone with the imagination to get around secret service. Just 460 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,680 just do it, Christopher Bedford. I assume this is your sign to me 461 00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:56,640 that you got to head out the door. I do unfortunately. Wow, 462 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,200 wow, I'm so bound. I'm so bound. I know, I know, 463 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,759 I know you are. That's all right, Well, we appreciate it. 464 00:32:01,839 --> 00:32:07,359 We're glad you had successful burger making on the fourth of July. And 465 00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:09,680 Christopher Bedford, executive editor over at the Common Sense Society, make sure you 466 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,720 look out for his piece on carbon over at the Common Sense Society, right, 467 00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:19,240 Chris, Yes, yep, All right, there you go. Everyone. 468 00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:21,839 Well, you've been listening to another edition of the Federalist Radio Hour. 469 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,640 I'm Emil Joshinsky. Culture to be here at the Federalist. We'll be back 470 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,440 soon with more. Until then, the lovers are freedom and xious for the frame.
