Today is Monday, June 9 00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:38,600 twelve, twenty twenty three. Jennius here as well at the newsdesk. Hi 10 00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:42,520 there, Hello, Hello. So we have what we call in broadcasting a 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,640 cold open. Uh. We we do these once in a while, and 12 00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:52,799 it's it's usually for kind of a not great reason. It's usually because I 13 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,799 have something heavy to to talk about for a few minutes. So what we'll 14 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,560 do is we're doing this. Usually we open with a song, uh some 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,600 sort of In fact, I found a couple of As one could imagine, 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,879 there are a lot of new and very funny political song parodies coming out right 17 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,519 now. But usually we opened with a song uh, and then uh and 18 00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:14,640 then of course the theme music, and then we get into the show. 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,120 But we're gonna do this a little bit separate, and then after we finish 20 00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:22,680 up this segment will kind of reset and go into what would be our normal 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:30,280 Monday afternoon show. But the reason that I'm doing this to open today is 22 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:36,439 because um, so and again, most of you listening won't know this person, 23 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,000 but some of you, I know, I have some people listening who 24 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:45,319 definitely knew and loved this person very much so. But I lost someone today 25 00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:49,319 with whom I had been active in the music scene, and it's um, 26 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,760 it was quite a shock to me. Jenny and I were in Dover today 27 00:01:53,799 --> 00:02:00,359 and while there, I received a message on Facebook from a friend of mine, 28 00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:02,799 Matt Beauvaire, and Uh, Matt and I used to play in a 29 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,599 band called My Life Crisis. Uh this Uh, this was back in the 30 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:10,960 in the two thousands, which in moments like this, you know, in 31 00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,199 some ways it seems like another lifetime, you know, and and in other 32 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,520 ways it uh seems like it was last week. And um, Matt informed 33 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,680 me that Ben Brackett York had passed away. And uh, if you, 34 00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:30,960 uh, if you follow me on social media, you might already know this. 35 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,960 You might be aware from my postings earlier, and you might have seen 36 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,879 the picture that I shared that uh, that Matt Beauvaire shared with me um 37 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:44,159 band photo from that time, And um, I was I was quite shocked 38 00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:49,400 by this. Uh Ben was. I'm not sure if he was even forty. 39 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,879 He might have been thirty eight, thirty nine, he might have been 40 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,520 forty, I'm not I'm not sure, but um, I don't know any 41 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:00,199 details about what happened to him. Um. Uh so I don't know. 42 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:07,759 I don't know what it is, but it's um um somebody, somebody really 43 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,039 summed this up well. Uh someone who had also been in the band but 44 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,000 was not in the band at the same time. Uh on social media, 45 00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:21,120 he's Peter Turgeon and he might be listening. Although we called him Stump that 46 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:24,960 was that was everyone's nickname for him. But he wrote this on Facebook. 47 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,159 He said crazy. I was not in the band when Ben was, but 48 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,000 I knew of him. Sorry, Matt, it is it is strange when 49 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,479 you find out an ex bandmate has passed. There is something about making music 50 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,439 that creates a bond that people who don't can't understand. And uh, that 51 00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:46,759 is that is very true. So um, the band that we were in 52 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,680 my life crisis. So at that time, it was myself, Ben, 53 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,039 Uh, Maddie, that's what we called Matt Beover. He was Maddie and 54 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,840 I was Matt. Actually I was known as the don Uh that that became 55 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,520 my nickname. I don't even remember why, but uh and then Uh and 56 00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:06,560 Jesse Boland, who was our our drummer at that point. And that's the 57 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,280 lineup that's in that picture. And if you see the picture on social media, 58 00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:17,199 Ben is the one with the big smile on his face and he uh, 59 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,360 he was just such a joy to be around. It was, you 60 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:23,800 know, not only making music with him, but m he just had He 61 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,399 was very funny. If I had met him ten years later then I did, 62 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,720 he and I would probably have ended up doing a podcast together or something. 63 00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:36,160 He was just a very not just creative musically, but just very very 64 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:43,519 funny, very quick and we laughed a lot. And um, you know 65 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,759 it's I know it probably sounds cliche to some, but a band can be 66 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:54,040 very much a brotherhood and Uh, I would say that honestly about every band 67 00:04:54,079 --> 00:04:57,360 I've been in, really, but um my Life Crisis. Of all the 68 00:04:57,399 --> 00:05:02,079 bands I played in, that one, i'd say was probably the busiest in 69 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:06,319 terms of that lineup. We we really worked hard. We played a lot 70 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,600 of shows. And this is the weird thing. I said to Jesse Boland, 71 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,000 the drummer on Facebook. I told him that it's so strange to get 72 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,480 this news today because it was just yesterday. Literally it was yesterday. I 73 00:05:23,519 --> 00:05:28,800 was thinking about the time and I became fixated on this memory. I don't 74 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,439 know what made me think of it, but then once I started thinking about 75 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:34,759 it, I became fixated on it. I was thinking about the time that 76 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,680 we played two shows in one day in two different states, because we had 77 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,079 a show at the Bomb Shelter and people who were active in the local music 78 00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:50,319 scene from that time, everybody knows the Bomb Shelter and right on Eddie Road 79 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,240 down. I think, well, it's kind of kind of around not where 80 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:01,439 Planet fitnesses, but around there, and we had a show that night at 81 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,800 the Bomb Shelter. We played there a lot, but we got offered a 82 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,879 show in Connecticut opening for some bands, and uh, I think it was 83 00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:15,160 in Hartford that we really wanted to play, and uh, so I didn't 84 00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:16,399 want to say no. I was in charge of all the booking. I 85 00:06:16,399 --> 00:06:19,560 would I would handle the booking of the shows. That was one of one 86 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,199 of my responsibilities, which I was happy to do because I love, you 87 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,120 know, always loved not only the not only the being a musician, but 88 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,800 also the business side of it too. Always enjoyed that not everyone does, 89 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,360 certainly, but I always did, always have. So I would handle all 90 00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:41,319 the booking. And um, I really didn't want to say no to that 91 00:06:41,399 --> 00:06:45,279 show, but we were. We prided ourselves on being very professional, so 92 00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:48,600 we also would do all that we could to ever avoid canceling a show. 93 00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:51,680 We just we did not cancel shows. So I didn't want to cancel on 94 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:57,360 the Bomb Shelter. So I remember going to the Guys and U and I 95 00:06:57,399 --> 00:06:59,839 think I had talked to Ben about it first, and I said, Hey, 96 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,240 we've got that show at the Bomb Shelter that day. What do you 97 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:11,439 think of going to Connecticut first to play this show. We go on early 98 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,800 at this show, open for these bands, and then we fly back to 99 00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:19,920 Manchester and we'll close out the night at the Bomb Shelter and Ben was all 100 00:07:19,959 --> 00:07:24,360 for it. I honestly didn't think everyone would necessarily say yes, these guys 101 00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,040 are gonna be like, Matt, what are you doing to us? You're 102 00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:29,959 killing us here. But we just we were trying to play as much as 103 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,319 we possibly could. Everybody said yes, And I just remember now, granted, 104 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,000 there's another part to the story which I'm not going to get into. 105 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,360 Things went a bit awry at the bomb Shelter, but we did play our 106 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,360 set. I'll leave that aside. But I just remember how proud I was 107 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,839 that day of Wow, I'm really proud of my band. I'm really proud 108 00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:50,519 of these guys. You know. Everyone was on board to do that, 109 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:57,639 you know, and in hindsight, it probably wasn't even worth it to do 110 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,759 that, and it created a lot of unnecessary but everybody was down for it. 111 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,759 But you know, we were young, and we were just you know, 112 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:05,000 we were ambitious, you know, we were driven, you know. 113 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:11,399 And and that lineup because with my life crisis, um, there were several 114 00:08:11,399 --> 00:08:15,040 different lineups over the years. And like I was telling you in the car 115 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,600 earlier, I was the one person, like if you look at that picture 116 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,319 that's on Facebook, the only original member of the band in that picture is 117 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:26,519 me. Um Ben Ben wasn't there for the beginning or the end, but 118 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,559 he was there in the middle when we were like really busy and and that's 119 00:08:31,559 --> 00:08:37,000 that was one of the great things about him being a part of the band. 120 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,679 Not just was he a lot of fun to be around, UM, 121 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,240 just very very talented guitarist, creative songwriter, UM, but he was also 122 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,639 just so gung ho and down for everything. You know he was. Um, 123 00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:52,639 he was every bit everybody has driven as the rest of us. And 124 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,960 UM, it was just h But but but the thing I missed most, 125 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,080 you know, just just being around him was fun, you know, because 126 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:09,320 it wasn't that band. It wasn't like um just we saw each other at 127 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,759 practice and at shows. Um, you know, we would we would spend 128 00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:20,360 time socially together away from from the band itself. UM. And that's the 129 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:26,000 only band that I've been in where maybe with the exception of the Jinkst, 130 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,080 but even that was limited in that way. That lineup of My Life Crisis 131 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,480 was the only band I had ever been in where I can say that that 132 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:37,320 was consistently the case where we spent you know, we enjoyed being around each 133 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,679 other so much that we spent a lot of time together socially, um, 134 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,440 as well as as with the band, you know, doing doing band stuff. 135 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,279 So UM, So I was. I was quite shocked to get that 136 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,960 message today. Um. Again, I don't know what happened, but and 137 00:09:54,039 --> 00:10:00,480 I think he had a couple of children, um, regret fully, and 138 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,080 I did allude to this in my post. Um. I had not seen 139 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,759 or spoken to bed in quite a few years. Um. Not because of 140 00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:16,960 any problem between us or anything like that. Um, just because I'm really 141 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:20,919 bad at you know, I'm not. I'm not someone who really goes out 142 00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:24,799 of my way to you know, keep up with old friends. You know. 143 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,759 It does, and that's not a bad thing. It just is it 144 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,960 does. And I and I certainly don't think I certainly don't think there's anything 145 00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:39,799 unusual about that, you know. I I think part of it is the 146 00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:43,360 human condition, because I think I think most people are like that, really, 147 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:48,519 I mean, UM, to be honest with you, I also think 148 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,679 that, you know, we talk on the show a lot about social media 149 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,360 and and the positives and negatives of it, and I always say the positive, 150 00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:01,639 you know, the positives far outweigh the negatives. But I think too. 151 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,639 One of the one of the ways that social media has kind of changed 152 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:18,360 the nature of friendship is that it almost in a way makes it. Ah, 153 00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:22,399 it's gonna it might sound strange, but it's how how you know. 154 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:28,480 I'm just I'm thinking about this stuff because because of what happened. Um, 155 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,080 I think in a way it almost makes it. It almost offers an excuse. 156 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:37,000 Excuse isn't the right word, but I'm just kind of I've never tried 157 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,360 to articulate any of this before, but so we'll just go with excuse to 158 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,240 kind of take people for granted in a in a sense, because if you're 159 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:54,120 on one hand, it's wonderful that you can connect with people from the past 160 00:11:54,399 --> 00:11:58,279 so easily and and and get in touch with them and so forth. But 161 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:05,360 at the same time, I think there's this thing that happens where, you 162 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,799 know, once you're connected to somebody on social media, it's kind of like, 163 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,159 Okay, so we're still in each other's lives. We're connected on Facebook, 164 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:22,360 or we follow each other on Instagram or whatever, and it's like, 165 00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,039 but that's not really still being a part of each other's lives, but you 166 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:39,240 kind of feel like it is in a way, and then and then what 167 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:46,559 is that? But what is that really worth having been connected with someone on 168 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:58,120 social media when they're gone? Like like, if I'm connected to somebody on 169 00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:07,480 social media and it's someone who was such an important part of my life and 170 00:13:07,639 --> 00:13:16,120 someone who I loved like a brother, um, but then I never actually 171 00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:22,759 talked to them because in the back of my mind it's like, well, 172 00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:30,240 I know they're there, we're Facebook friends. But but then one day they're 173 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:48,120 gone, and it's like I am, you know, and then it's now 174 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,919 I can't even you know, if I just have the urge one day to 175 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,200 just message him on just a simple message, I can't even do that. 176 00:13:54,279 --> 00:14:03,840 He's gone, and and I, uh, that's uh, that's a strange 177 00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:09,240 thing. I just uh. I mean, if you take social media out 178 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:15,720 of the equation, it's like, you know, somebody passes away you didn't 179 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:26,039 see for a long time, you know, that's uh, that's uh, 180 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,039 you know, and then and then you know, you get the news and 181 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:33,919 it's terrible. But then with social media in the equation, it's like it's 182 00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:39,960 almost like you're connected with them. It's almost like they're in the next room, 183 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,720 like you live, like you're you're living next door to each other in 184 00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:48,519 an apartment complex, right and there's someone who matters to you. They're very 185 00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:54,039 important to you because they've had a huge impact on your life. And it 186 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,159 might have been you know, fifteen sixteen, however many years ago, but 187 00:14:56,159 --> 00:15:01,799 they've had an important impact on your life. But you never actually bothered to 188 00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:07,080 interact with them even though they're right there next door, because you're you're connected 189 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,200 on social media. You're good, you know what I mean. Does any 190 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,440 of this make sense? It does make sense. This is all going through 191 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,679 my head. See. The thing about that is, like I have I 192 00:15:18,519 --> 00:15:22,879 can't know what you're feeling right now, absolutely cannot know what you're feeling right 193 00:15:22,919 --> 00:15:26,679 now, and I wouldn't even begin to try. But I have I do 194 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:31,039 have friends that I've been friends with from you know, high school or even 195 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,480 in my early twenties, um, that were in my everyday life back then. 196 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,360 Um, And they're not in my everyday life right now, and they 197 00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:45,600 are very important to me. And you know, if they reach out, 198 00:15:45,799 --> 00:15:48,799 I'm always right there. And if I reach out, I know they're always 199 00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:50,840 right there. And it happens every once in a while we'll have this interaction. 200 00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:56,600 You know where you reconnect for some reason and it's like, yeah, 201 00:15:56,639 --> 00:16:00,960 you're still there. I know you're still there. You know. Um, 202 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:07,440 yeah, I don't want any I can't imagine like what exactly you're feeling in 203 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,240 this moment, but you can't. It's not about the what if or the 204 00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:15,799 or the beat beat yourself up. The important thing is that you're friends. 205 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:18,960 You care about each other, and if at any moment in time, either 206 00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:22,120 of you had reached out to the other and said, hey, bro, 207 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,320 I need you would have been right there and heartbeat. That's that's friendship. 208 00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:30,480 Whether you speak to someone every day or they cross your path every now and 209 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,559 again, it doesn't degrade the friendship that you have, and it doesn't belittle 210 00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:45,159 how much or how little communication you have. Yeah, it's the um I 211 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:53,440 think for me because I can't because it's like uh my friend uh Stump who 212 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,320 had I played with him in a couple of different bands. Actually he was 213 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,799 He was the original drummer for My Life Crisis, So he wasn't in the 214 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,880 band the same day as Ben was. He was the he was the original 215 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,599 drummer, and then he left and was replaced by a guy named Andrew Tried 216 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,079 or and then he left and was replaced by Jesse Boland. But um, 217 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:22,559 I can't think of another instance like this is the first, you know, 218 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,119 like going through life, you know, you you have those firsts of losing 219 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,960 people, like you know, like you lose your like you lose your first 220 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,319 family member, you know, like like when somebody in your family passes away, 221 00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:34,640 you know, which obviously that you go through that when you're a kid, 222 00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:37,759 you know, usually pretty young, you go through that the first and 223 00:17:37,759 --> 00:17:44,799 and that's that's always weird. And then or or maybe your first co worker, 224 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,559 you know, so you hear somebody used to work with who passed so 225 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:49,480 used to work with who passed away, and you go, wow, I 226 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,319 haven't lost anybody I used to work with. But this is the this is 227 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,440 the only instance, at least unless this is something happened to somebody else that 228 00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,720 I'm not aware of. Um, this is the first instance of somebody I 229 00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:10,079 used to make music with who's passed away. And like, like Stump said, 230 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,200 it's it's uh. I don't know if he even goes by Stump anymore. 231 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:17,359 I should probably just call him Peter Peter Turgeon for all I know. 232 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,119 He doesn't even go buy stump anymore. But it's like he said, it's 233 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:25,000 it's it's uh, there's a bond there, So it's it's weird, it's 234 00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:30,240 it's um, it's uh, it's just really kind of jarring. It's like, 235 00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:34,359 that's my first the first person that I ever had that bond with, 236 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:51,200 that kind of a bond has passed away. And and with that there's that 237 00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:59,039 feeling of and this this kind of goes back to my you know what I 238 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,759 was I'm saying before about you know, you're connected to somebody on social media, 239 00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:11,240 but you don't ever actually talk to them. With that comes that um 240 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:32,200 that that worry about did they did they leave without ever knowing? Because I 241 00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:40,319 certainly never told him, Did they leave without ever knowing how much they really 242 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:48,119 meant to me and impacted my life? You know, it's like when um, 243 00:19:49,599 --> 00:19:52,799 like when when Normoody passed away. Yeah, you know, I had 244 00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:56,279 a bond with him because that was the first television show I ever did, 245 00:19:56,839 --> 00:20:03,400 was peing his co host on Norman Friends, and I remember, you know, 246 00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:06,880 and for eight years I was his co host, and that and being 247 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,160 his co host led to a lot of other opportunities. For example, I 248 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,599 don't think there's any way I would have ended up here doing this show on 249 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,680 WMH had I not been Norm's co host. That was my first, you 250 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,079 know, real experience being behind a microphone, where you know, I got 251 00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:27,160 to kind of build my on air persona and have the confidence and whatnot. 252 00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:36,480 And I just I just remember going Wow. I wonder did he ever real 253 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,359 I always knew it, But did he know how much he had done for 254 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:47,559 me? Did he realize how much of an impact he had had on my 255 00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:52,480 life? I think he did. I'm not sure I think he did. 256 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:59,319 But with Bennet's like, damn, did he did? Did he have any 257 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:06,720 idea? I hope so, But I don't know because I never told him. 258 00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:10,839 I mean, I'm sure he's got He had all the same memories that 259 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,640 I did of being in the band together, right, we shared all those 260 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,200 great times. So hopefully he knew from an outsider looking in the way that 261 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:23,599 you the way that you treat people, the way that you interact with people. 262 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,960 I can't imagine anybody in your in your orbit that doesn't know what you 263 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:37,079 feel about them. You're very good about showing your appreciation to people and the 264 00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:40,319 way that you interact with them. I just can't imagine anybody being in your 265 00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:42,920 circle. I'm not going you know, that's a really great guy. I'm 266 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:48,240 glad he's in my life, you know. Or you guys got to create 267 00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:52,440 things together. That's a magic in and of itself that most people don't have 268 00:21:52,559 --> 00:21:56,799 as a part of friendship or even as part of family. You you you 269 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:02,599 birth things together, you created things together other and music is something that's so 270 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,079 special. Yeah, you know, I would like to think, and I 271 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,119 would think the person that you are that I know you of now and I 272 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:14,960 didn't know you then, I have little doubt in my mind that the feelings 273 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:21,160 weren't mutual. Yeah, it sounds like a really great memories to hold on 274 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,680 too, too. Oh. Absolutely absolutely. It's so strange that just yesterday 275 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,720 I was thinking about that that day that we did the two shows, you 276 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,400 know, because i'm you know, and just in my day to day life. 277 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,160 It's not like I spend a lot of time thinking about you know, 278 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,640 I don't know, Like I said, in some ways, it seems like 279 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,119 another lifetime, and in some ways it seems like a last week. But 280 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:51,559 the chapter, yeah, it's a total chapter. Yeah, I am going 281 00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:55,720 to uh in a in a couple of moments, I am going to play 282 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:03,119 a song, one of the My Life Crisis songs I actually so what we'll 283 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,880 what we'll do is well, we'll play that and then we'll come back and 284 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,039 like I said, we'll kind of reset and do the to our regular opening. 285 00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:11,599 Although I do have a couple of more songs that I will play throughout 286 00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:14,359 the show. I'll play a song at the top of the hour break like 287 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,960 I usually do, I'll play another My Life Crisis song, and then one 288 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,799 more to end the show later today to kind of honor Ben. But um, 289 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,839 I do want to look at these Facebook chat comments too. I don't 290 00:23:22,839 --> 00:23:26,119 know if if either of the other guys, if they're able to listen live. 291 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:32,240 Who were I was communicating with today, But Melanie la Liberty is in 292 00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:34,839 the chat. Hello Melanie, and from of course the great State of Vermont. 293 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,400 Mike from Queen City Cabinetry one of our great sponsors here at WM ANDH, 294 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,119 and of course Mike is one of our co hosts on retro Spectrum Radio 295 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,799 on Friday nights. He's in the chat room. Fredo, or as I 296 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,720 like to say his full name, Alfredo Enrique Benavitis, who was on the 297 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,440 show recently with Dank Sinatra. Hello, yes, yes, and he gave 298 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,759 me quite a good number of references. Oh, good, good, excellent, 299 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:02,799 excellent, Jenny, I see you're in there. Of course, I'm 300 00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:06,920 everywhere. Fredo says, sorry for your loss. Melanie says sorry. Matt. 301 00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,440 Isaac Banks from Greensboro, North Carolina says, Matt, I'm sorry. 302 00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:15,000 Uh, let's see, Fredo says Matt the Don Connerton, Yeah, I 303 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,559 see. I have a funny thing about that. You're Vanilla. How can 304 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:25,400 you be the do? I was the done. I can't see you as 305 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,039 the Don. I was the Dawn. I think it was because I was 306 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,640 kind of the business guy in the band, so I was I was the 307 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,880 don. Uh. You know, if you want to book my life Crisis, 308 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,839 you got to talk to the Dawn. I think it was like that. 309 00:24:40,759 --> 00:24:44,559 But but I also seem to recall I think at one point there were 310 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,039 there were two downs, because there was because there were two Matts. There 311 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:56,480 was myself and Matt Beauvaire, and I seem to remember Matt deciding that we 312 00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,319 were the Downs of Conquered because we were both Matt, so we were both 313 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,720 done. I don't know, it's it's it's it's all very fuzzy to me. 314 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,160 But then he decided that kind of like the Highlander in the end, 315 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,480 there can only be one done. So he decided that I was the Don, 316 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,720 and then I became the Don. It got to a point where no 317 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,880 one called me Matt anymore. Like it really caught on, like even even 318 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:21,519 like just like friends of the band, when just started calling me the Don, 319 00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:25,559 and it was never done. It was the down interesting. I think 320 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,039 I think there were I think there were people who came you were like the 321 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,200 crap the whip die, huh. I think there were people who came to 322 00:25:32,279 --> 00:25:34,920 our shows who who I'm serious when I say this, I think there were 323 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:41,480 people at our shows who genuinely did not know my actual name was done. 324 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,319 Yeah, yeah, it was what did you guys have? Like a five 325 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,839 o'clock show and then like a ten o'clock How did you make the Oh that 326 00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:52,759 the day we did the two shows, I was expecting states next to one 327 00:25:52,759 --> 00:25:59,200 another nine it was Connecticut. That surprises me. We yeah, we uh, 328 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,920 you know, we were all always networking. That was one of the 329 00:26:02,039 --> 00:26:03,920 reasons why we were able to play so much. Like I said, that 330 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:10,480 was by far the busiest lineup of my life crisis. We played every weekend, 331 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,279 usually both Friday and Saturday, maybe Thursday, maybe Sunday, and uh, 332 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,799 you know, but because we were always networking, you know, we 333 00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:21,799 had a lot of connections, and we had a lot of connections in Connecticut. 334 00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:25,119 And there was a promoter in Connecticut. It was name I cannot possibly 335 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,400 remember, who really liked us and what was always inviting us to play shows. 336 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,160 So we were actually playing a lot of shows in Connecticut. And yeah, 337 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,039 he approached me about about this one show, and there were other bands 338 00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:40,039 on the show we really wanted to play with. He said, you guys 339 00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:42,640 can you guys want to come down and open. By the way, gas 340 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:47,000 was cheap at that time, so you know, that wasn't what wasn't really 341 00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:51,640 a hardship traveling, not like it is now. So m So it was 342 00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:55,160 seven o'clock we went on. We had to be there for a six pm 343 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,519 load in. We went on at seven. I think we played for forty 344 00:26:57,559 --> 00:27:02,039 minutes as soon as we were done, and we were really efficient too, 345 00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:04,759 We were a well oiled machine. We were very efficient. So we got 346 00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:10,920 there, played played our set. I remember not wanting to leave, but 347 00:27:11,039 --> 00:27:15,400 we had to. I remember not wanting to because everybody there was so nice. 348 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,480 It was just a really good scene, you know, everybody was so 349 00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:22,440 cool. We really wanted to stay for the other bands, and we had 350 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,519 to kind of sheepishly explain no, sorry, we can't stay, but we 351 00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:30,160 got this other show. Again. In hindsight, given the debacle we came 352 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,480 back to when we got to the Bomb Shelter, I wish we had just 353 00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:37,160 stayed. But yeah, yeah, when we got when we got back to 354 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,279 Manchester, we walked into something that no fault of our own. It wasn't 355 00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:48,519 great, but but that place was run not well at times. I have 356 00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:51,799 a lot of great memories of the Bomb Shelter on Eddie Road here in Manchester, 357 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,759 and some not so great ones, but I don't want to get into 358 00:27:55,799 --> 00:27:57,599 that. But yeah, so we played at seven. I think we're out 359 00:27:57,599 --> 00:28:02,599 of there. We were done by five, out of the venue, packed 360 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,920 up on the road, headed back by eight. Really Oh yeah, oh 361 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,839 yeah, that's quick. Oh yeah, oh there is Maddie's in the chat 362 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,519 room. Matthew Bovair. He says, what's up down? Excuse me, 363 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,480 that's the dawn. What's up the dawn? He says, thanks, so 364 00:28:19,559 --> 00:28:22,920 much for doing this. It does me some good listening to this. Thank 365 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:29,039 you, my friend, thank you. Um and what time was just that 366 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,279 here? Well, so we got back yeah, so we got back to 367 00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:40,839 Manchester and then we so uh all right, yeah, yeah, I'll go 368 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,200 ahead and tell it. So, yeah, we get back to Manchester. 369 00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:47,640 And the thing about the Bomb Shelter was when that place first opened, well, 370 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,279 notice it's no longer around and it hasn't been around for a long time, 371 00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:53,440 and those reasons. When that place first opened, it was great and 372 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,359 it was it was a cool it was a cool place to play. Serge 373 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,839 who owned it, and his wife, they were very very nice and very 374 00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:06,759 friendly to everybody in the local scene and very enthusiastic. But I think they 375 00:29:06,759 --> 00:29:11,640 spread themselves a little too thin after a while. So on more than one 376 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:19,079 occasion this happened where we would get there and Surge wasn't there, and I 377 00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:23,039 think it was his brother, who was a sound guy wasn't there, and 378 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:29,599 it was like there was just nobody in charge, and whoever was working there 379 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,359 wasn't interested in being in charge. So we get there and there's a bunch 380 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,240 of bands booked, but nobody knows what the lineup is supposed to be. 381 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,799 Nobody knows what's going on, and I think there were a couple of times 382 00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:49,119 where we actually it was situations where it was okay because like all the bands 383 00:29:49,119 --> 00:29:52,160 that were playing that night kind of knew each other and were friendly and were 384 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:56,400 able to work out set times and everything amongst ourselves. We had to take 385 00:29:56,839 --> 00:30:00,759 it up upon ourselves because nobody was in charge, nobody was us anything. 386 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:06,680 So after a while it started to be run and I'm sure I'm sure Maddie 387 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,960 remembers this. It started to be run very sloppily that particular night. So 388 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,319 we get there late. We had worked it out with everybody, we were 389 00:30:15,359 --> 00:30:19,319 going to be getting there late because we had the other show. Everybody knew 390 00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:23,599 that, every Surge knew, his wife knew. I made sure everybody knew, 391 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,640 everybody knew the deal, and everyone was cool, and we get there 392 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:32,960 and it's like so many bands booked. It's like usually you would see in 393 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,599 those days. I don't think this has really done much anymore. In those 394 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,079 days, at a place like that, you would have five bands in a 395 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:44,480 night wow, which would usually be one too many, you know, four 396 00:30:44,519 --> 00:30:48,960 bands, even four bands would seem crowded. But the idea was get as 397 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,720 many bands in there as possible and hope they all bring some people, get 398 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,440 as many people in the door as possible, and that, Yeah, that 399 00:30:56,559 --> 00:31:02,480 was the business model. And and but I don't know if anybody really operates 400 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,039 that way anymore, because frankly, it's a failed business model. But yeah, 401 00:31:06,039 --> 00:31:07,960 there would very often be five bands in a night. But I think 402 00:31:07,079 --> 00:31:10,759 that was one of those nights. We got there and there's like eight bands 403 00:31:10,799 --> 00:31:15,559 booked because they overbooked because they were disorganized, and somebody tells us, Okay, 404 00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:19,839 you guys are on next, and so we're trying to load our gear 405 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:25,119 on. Meanwhile there's this other band also trying to load their gear on because 406 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:30,000 somebody else told them they were on next. And I think we won the 407 00:31:30,119 --> 00:31:36,599 argument, but I'm not sure it was. It was just awful. Yeah, 408 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,759 and then it was like, oh god, we should have just we 409 00:31:38,799 --> 00:31:44,119 should have just stuck around in Connecticut and stayed for the other bands and then 410 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,759 come home. But you'll live in you'll learn. But but like I said 411 00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:49,640 earlier, though I was so at the same time, I was just very 412 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:55,200 proud that, you know, everybody in the band wanted to you know that 413 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,960 we, like I said, we had a lot of ambition and everybody was 414 00:31:57,039 --> 00:32:00,319 up for it, you know, doing the two shows. And I think 415 00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:04,920 that's a nice feather any cat running and gunning, you know, especially the 416 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,759 distance. Yeah, yeah, but uh but yeah, it was quite a 417 00:32:12,119 --> 00:32:15,160 Yeah, Maddie says that band was not happy. Good thing. Our drummer 418 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,079 was the biggest guy in the club. Yes, yeah, Jesse Bowland rock 419 00:32:20,119 --> 00:32:22,839 and rolling Jesse Boland, you know, And I was always uh and I 420 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:28,440 am to this day. I've always been envious of his name because that's his 421 00:32:28,519 --> 00:32:30,880 real name, Jesse Bolan. Yeah, such a such a rock and roll 422 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,480 name, Jesse Bolan. Jesse's a good name. It's such a cool name. 423 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,279 But Bolan is cool to Jesse Bowl. It's just a cool It's just 424 00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:43,039 a cool name, you know what I mean. It is And m you 425 00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:47,079 knows off the tongue. Now, Matt Connerton not such a cool name. 426 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,440 I mean, it works well in the name of a radio show, but 427 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,039 uh, you know, no wonder they wanted to call him. I think 428 00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:55,799 that's the real reason they called me the dun because Matt Connerton is just there's 429 00:32:55,799 --> 00:33:00,960 nothing rock and roll about Matt Connerton. You know what I mean. Conton 430 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:06,680 is not uh Conorton does not scream rock star. It's more like an internist, 431 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,599 I know, right exactly. I think it sounds like a radio show 432 00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:15,519 host. That's that's how you know. That's how I got the I'm not 433 00:33:15,559 --> 00:33:17,200 going to start calling you the don That's how I got the gig here. 434 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,519 You know what the wrong armed your way in. No, that's how I 435 00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:24,160 got the show. Because they were auditioning. They were gonna have a show 436 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,920 called Matt Connerton Unleashed, and I sent in, I applied and I said, 437 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,079 well, my name is Matt Connerton and then uh and and it came 438 00:33:34,119 --> 00:33:37,839 down to me and uh the one other Matt Connerton in New Hampshire, who's 439 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,240 my uncle. But my uncle lives on the seacoast. He would have had 440 00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:42,279 to commute. So they said, okay, I guess we'll give you the 441 00:33:42,319 --> 00:33:45,559 show. But uh yeah, Maddie says, uh, Beauvaire isn't very metal 442 00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:51,960 l O L yeah. But even Bouvaire is uh yeah, but that's uh, 443 00:33:52,359 --> 00:33:54,039 at least it's I don't know, it's French. Yeah, it's French, 444 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,319 so it's kind of metal, I guess, right, I don't know. 445 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,440 I don't know. I don't know if that's I just know that my 446 00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:04,519 name is my name was always in any band I've ever been in. My 447 00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:10,320 name was the least metal. That's all I know. He's just we You 448 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,440 should try and like play with it, maybe like spell it with some symbols 449 00:34:14,519 --> 00:34:19,440 or something. Oh or maybe change the sea or k and do some accenting. 450 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,760 I don't know, right, yeah, right. Mike from Queen City 451 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,840 Cabinetry said, is that like Greg Brady getting me Johnny Bravo gig. That's 452 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,960 right. I fit the suit. That's how I got the show when it's 453 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,840 time to change. That's how I got in all the bands I was into. 454 00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:37,239 That's how I got the You know, it's not like I could actually 455 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:43,920 play the bass. Stop shit, don't be that way. Fredo in the 456 00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:47,679 Fredo in the chat room says, uh, you know talking about you know 457 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,880 what I was talking about earlier. About social media. He says, it's 458 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,360 all part of processing the grief. Social media is online, and social media 459 00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,880 only friends are really just acquaintances. He was your end in real life, 460 00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:06,199 and there's a gap that social media will never bridge. Yeah, And Mike 461 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:14,360 says, I very well put uh Fredo, yes, yes, Um, 462 00:35:14,519 --> 00:35:17,800 all right, well we will uh well, we'll play Uh well, we're 463 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,039 gonna play a song and then we'll we'll move on.

In My Life Crisis we were sometimes we were a 472 00:36:04,039 --> 00:36:07,480 four piece and sometimes we were a five piece. That fluctuated over the years. 473 00:36:07,559 --> 00:36:15,079 But um, now, just just so many, uh so many wonderful 474 00:36:15,079 --> 00:36:21,920 memories and uh I love you, Ben, and uh we will um we 475 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,440 will finish the segment with and again I will.

This was kind of a kind of a crowd favorite. Um actually, 485 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,960 I think this song actually spanned every lineup of the band over the years. 486 00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:13,000 But um, yeah, this was, like I said, this was 487 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,480 a this was a crowd favorite.

And by the way, I do want to um mentioned so 550 00:47:40,039 --> 00:47:44,920 you know. During our first segment we talked about the passing of my friend 551 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:50,039 and former bandmate Ben Brackett York. If you know, we'll we're gonna move 552 00:47:50,039 --> 00:47:52,480 on to some other things. But if anyone wants to call in, if 553 00:47:52,519 --> 00:47:55,000 anyone who uh, you know, any of my former bandmates or anyone at 554 00:47:55,039 --> 00:47:58,280 all, does want to call in and say anything about Ben, I'm not 555 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,719 saying that we're going to leave that entirely behind as we proceed with the show. 556 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,440 You know, we're gonna we are going to get into some other some 557 00:48:06,519 --> 00:48:08,360 news items and so forth. But if, but if you do want to 558 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,760 talk, if anyone wants to talk about Ben, we certainly can do that 559 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,800 as well. So I don't want anyone to feel like, Okay, that's 560 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:16,280 it. We've moved on. Um, and I am going to be playing 561 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,840 some more My life crisis later in the show. So so the studio line 562 00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,599 is open for anyone for any reason. Six zo three two five O six 563 00:48:23,679 --> 00:48:31,199 Z seven six three two five six seven, Um, Yes, what do 564 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:37,880 you want to talk about? Well, uh, it does seem I don't 565 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,159 know, I mean it seems like the news. Yeah, I don't I 566 00:48:42,199 --> 00:48:45,199 don't have that queued up. Oh you know what, though, I'm going 567 00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:51,519 to be creating a new soundboard for myself because if you noticed over the past 568 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,480 I don't know, months, probably maybe maybe even a year, that you 569 00:48:55,519 --> 00:48:59,800 don't hear the uh you know the you have some sound clips we'd hear on 570 00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:04,039 the show. Yeah you know why those went away? Why because the website 571 00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:08,519 that I was using, soundboard dot com, it uh, it started having 572 00:49:08,559 --> 00:49:10,960 all kinds of weird issues. And I thought you were gonna say it was 573 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,119 all gone, like gone gone, isn't. Well no, So here's here's 574 00:49:15,159 --> 00:49:20,400 the thing. Now, when I go to sound so after months I had 575 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,400 given up on it, I would go to soundboard dot com. The website 576 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,320 would come up, it would let me sign in and everything. But then 577 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,719 if I would try to go to any of my soundboards, I would get 578 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,559 this weird error message. And if I tried to go to somebody else, 579 00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:35,079 any other soundboards that are listed, because if you put a soundboard on soundboard 580 00:49:35,159 --> 00:49:39,000 dot com, it is public, so anyone. That's why it's free because 581 00:49:39,039 --> 00:49:43,360 other people can use it too. So then the other day, after not 582 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,840 going on soundboard dot com for a long time, I went on and it's 583 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:51,280 a new website and everything is restored, everything works again. So they must 584 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,360 have been doing some sort of migration or they needed to move to a new 585 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:58,760 server. But I have my soundboards back. Oh yes, I have. 586 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:05,480 I have my virtual Dave Ridley soundboard bat, I have my I think I 587 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,639 have my virtual John Hopwood soundboard back. Oh yes, um, I have 588 00:50:09,679 --> 00:50:15,119 one. I have. I have a soundboard back that I can't actually technically 589 00:50:15,199 --> 00:50:19,280 use anymore on the show for reasons we won't get into here. I know 590 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,199 what it is. Um now, the only one I don't have for some 591 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,119 reason, although let me try logging in again. Do you have the ghost 592 00:50:25,199 --> 00:50:30,400 of John McCain. Well, that one wasn't mine, so that one never 593 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,280 Actually I just stopped doing that one because I felt like the bit played itself 594 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:38,719 out. Yeah, um, the only one I had. I had one 595 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:42,719 about I had one for Trump that I had built. That one seems to 596 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,320 have disappeared, figures right, I had that. I had that one where 597 00:50:46,679 --> 00:50:52,239 you know, somebody's basement. Yeah, maybe it's in somebody's basement, it's 598 00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:54,320 not right. I had that. I had that Trump one where my favorite 599 00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:58,760 clip of all time was when he goes I suit. You know, I 600 00:50:59,199 --> 00:51:00,679 I'm terrible at him rashions, as you know. But the one where he 601 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:05,280 goes I stoomed up here giving speeches for an hour and a half, many 602 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,000 times without notes. I just love that. That's like my favorite Trump clip 603 00:51:08,039 --> 00:51:12,559 ever and that. But that one is gone. I bet you can find 604 00:51:12,599 --> 00:51:15,280 it though. Yeah, I've tried. I'll try again, though. But 605 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:20,360 the other ones I have, everything is restored. It's it's wonderful. Why 606 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,639 am I talking about that again? How did I end up on that? 607 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:27,760 Um? I don't know. I don't know either. Jay Fed says in 608 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,039 the chat room, did you see any boxes in the news? Well, 609 00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:34,719 I tell you what a lot. I've seen a lot of boxes. I've 610 00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:39,159 seen boxes on top of boxes. By the way, I wanted we got 611 00:51:39,159 --> 00:51:43,840 to defend him on on one thing because so I said this on Facebook too. 612 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,840 Melanie had posted a picture of you know, the beautiful bathroom with the 613 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:52,639 boxes and you've got the wonderful You've got the chandeliers and everything, And I 614 00:51:52,679 --> 00:51:54,519 said, I said on Facebook, you know, it could have been worse. 615 00:51:54,559 --> 00:51:58,559 He could have he could have shoved them in the you know, in 616 00:51:58,599 --> 00:52:00,679 the bathroom of the local circle, okay up the street. But instead they're 617 00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:06,599 in this very nice bathroom with chandeliers. Nice tight. I mean, listen, 618 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:13,480 if you're going to I think this and that, well, that's disgusting. 619 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:20,320 I I think if you're going to look, if you have uh, 620 00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,400 boxes and boxes and boxes of classified information, if you're going to put them 621 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,440 in the bathroom, it might as well be a fancy bathroom. So I 622 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,039 say, he got that one right, and I will defend him on that. 623 00:52:30,159 --> 00:52:32,800 It might be the only thing I ever defend him on. But at 624 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:37,000 least it's a fancy bathroom. He didn't put it to qualify his fancy what 625 00:52:37,119 --> 00:52:39,599 it's not so big. All I know is I see chandeliers. I say, 626 00:52:39,679 --> 00:52:44,960 fancy schmancy bathroom. Is uh, that's that's fancy. I mean I've 627 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,480 never I don't think in my life I've ever been inside a bathroom with chandeliers. 628 00:52:49,599 --> 00:52:52,119 So I see chandeliers and I go, that is fancy. You should 629 00:52:52,159 --> 00:52:59,760 put some classified documents in here. It's ego and a half boy m ballroom. 630 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,960 And he says in the chat it was a single sink bathroom, so 631 00:53:04,039 --> 00:53:07,400 you know it was a servants bathroom. See that's a good point. I 632 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,679 had no tub, just to stand up shower. Oh I hadn't thought of 633 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:15,840 that. Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. That ain't a special people. 634 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:20,039 So maybe that poor folk, maybe that was not an appropriate place to 635 00:53:20,039 --> 00:53:22,079 put those of that is what you're saying, all right, But somebody who 636 00:53:22,159 --> 00:53:24,559 grew up the way he grew up, I wouldn't expect to be able to 637 00:53:24,599 --> 00:53:28,880 think quite clearly. I'm trying to keep an open mind. He's just used 638 00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:34,639 to having his arms wide open, going mine, mine, mine. He 639 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,679 was born that way. Paul played that Friday night on Retrospectrum Radio. Mine 640 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:45,519 well, arms one open by that one, Melanie. Melanie also points out, 641 00:53:45,559 --> 00:53:49,400 and it wasn't gold plated. This is true. That's uh, that's 642 00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,559 true too, Okay, definitely for the probably definitely the servant level bathroom, 643 00:53:52,599 --> 00:53:55,639 for certain. I know that's what it is. I know why though, 644 00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:00,079 I know why if he has kicking on anything that's not gold if he had 645 00:54:00,119 --> 00:54:04,719 put it, if he had put it in a nicer bathroom than that bathroom, 646 00:54:05,079 --> 00:54:10,679 people would have gotten suspicious. People would have said, hey, why 647 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:15,639 is he putting those boxes in the really nice bathroom? Who had to use 648 00:54:15,679 --> 00:54:20,079 that bathroom? I like Melanie's point, who had to use that bathroom? 649 00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:27,440 And then what happens when you flush? Well, I don't even want to 650 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:32,480 think about that. I'm sure the paper. I'm sure the good people at 651 00:54:32,519 --> 00:54:37,440 the FBI wore gloves, I hope so, and masks maybe and inhale that 652 00:54:37,519 --> 00:54:42,360 stuff. Charles Charles Richardson joins us in the chat. He says, I 653 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,119 think if there is a TV in the bathroom, that would be my throne. 654 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:50,000 I don't remember seeing a television in that particular bathroom, though I could 655 00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,599 believe him being somebody that he's to have a TV in the bathroom. Oh 656 00:54:52,679 --> 00:55:00,199 well. Um, and Isaac Banks says a high hashtag gen coffee, what's 657 00:55:00,119 --> 00:55:05,800 your favorite hoodie? And the blowfish song is? Is it hold my Hand 658 00:55:06,079 --> 00:55:08,719 or old Man and Me? So you have two choices, Okay, I'll 659 00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:17,840 go with hold my hand. Okay, here we go Nextum, Melanie says, 660 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:22,519 I like Melanie's point. I get that a lot. Well, you 661 00:55:22,559 --> 00:55:24,199 know, when you're right, you're right, very nice. It's just has 662 00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,920 how it has to be. So he is, uh, he should be 663 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,239 in Florida now, right. He was taken off on the plane and he's 664 00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:37,719 in Florida now. Not for long, not for long. He has to 665 00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:43,199 turn himself in to be formally arrested by the FDPI. Sometime tomorrow. They 666 00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:45,719 haven't given us a time slot. But then he jumps right back on a 667 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:52,199 plane, goes right back to his New Jersey golf estate for a fundraiser because 668 00:55:52,199 --> 00:55:55,159 of course he's gonna make money, because he's gonna be begging for money out 669 00:55:55,199 --> 00:55:58,719 of this. Oh, give me money. Oh he barely asked a beg. 670 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:00,960 I mean, he raked a lot of I don't remember the number, 671 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,159 and they do. They just throw it at him. He raped in a 672 00:56:05,159 --> 00:56:08,400 lot of money over the weekend. They just throw it at him. Yeah, 673 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,519 it's awful. Well, uh, you know, it's a business, 674 00:56:12,559 --> 00:56:15,599 and business is good for him. It always has been. I mean, 675 00:56:16,079 --> 00:56:22,880 you know, his ego outweighs everybody's truth or opinion. I suppose, including 676 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:27,679 truth, real truth, just cold hire truth. That man decides the sky 677 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,239 is purple, he'll pay and pay and pay until everybody around him says it's 678 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:39,239 purple. Um, there may be already there may have already emerged an escape 679 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:45,199 hatch. By the way, So for everyone who thinks, oh, oh 680 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:49,400 hello to Tom Sapienza, who joins us in the chat room high top. 681 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:53,840 For everyone who thinks that, uh that this is that you know, this 682 00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:58,679 is the thing that's going to bring him down not so fast. Um, 683 00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:05,280 is the name Eilean Cannon familiar to you? No, okay, So Eilean 684 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:10,880 Cannon is the judge, Oh yeah, who got smacked down by the Eleventh 685 00:57:12,159 --> 00:57:17,079 Circuit before when when this uh, when this case originally initially went before her, 686 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:22,920 um over the special Master and everything, and really, uh, they 687 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:29,800 felt that and these these judges, the panel on the Eleventh Circuit conservative judges. 688 00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:35,199 The Eleventh Circuit is very conservative, many of them appointed by Trump, 689 00:57:35,239 --> 00:57:40,719 many of them Trump appointed judges. Uh. They said that she clearly uh, 690 00:57:40,719 --> 00:57:45,039 in at least two instances, really put her thumb on the scale in 691 00:57:45,079 --> 00:57:49,559 favor of Trump, showed a lot of favoritism towards Trump. And uh so 692 00:57:49,599 --> 00:57:53,719 she got smacked down for that. Well, guess who's in charge of somehow 693 00:57:53,760 --> 00:58:00,559 magically pulled to be the supposed supposedly allegedly this is uh, she was chosen 694 00:58:00,599 --> 00:58:06,320 at random. Supposedly. I don't know. I ain't buying it, but 695 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:07,760 all right, well I don't know. I mean, I will you know, 696 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,960 coincidences are possible. I'm not one of these people who says I don't 697 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:15,440 believe in coincidences. I do believe in coincidences, and uh so that that 698 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:21,239 may very well be, but this could be this could be the escape hatch 699 00:58:21,719 --> 00:58:24,440 for him because here's the thing. She's in charge. I can see a 700 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:30,719 couple of different ways that this could go where he actually gets out of this 701 00:58:30,719 --> 00:58:32,880 this. Now, this doesn't make his other legal issues go away, but 702 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:37,360 the most severe legal issue is this. He may yet get out of this 703 00:58:37,519 --> 00:58:40,079 because a couple things that she could do. I mean, first of all, 704 00:58:40,159 --> 00:58:44,760 she's going to be in charge of scheduling this thing. She could say, 705 00:58:45,079 --> 00:58:46,119 you know, there's no way we're going to be able to try this 706 00:58:46,119 --> 00:58:50,639 case until twenty twenty five. Oh, I believe that. I believe that's 707 00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:52,639 going to happen. They're already trying to. Yeah, right now, that 708 00:58:52,760 --> 00:59:00,679 that could very well happen. Now if she does that and the Eleventh does 709 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:02,760 not overrule her on that, and I'm not sure exactly, I mean, 710 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,800 you know, I'm not a legal expert, and I don't know exactly how 711 00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:09,119 that all works, all the processes they're in. But if she does that, 712 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:14,920 then what could happen conceivably is he could win. If he wins the 713 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,639 election, as soon as he's president, this goes away he'll be in charge 714 00:59:17,639 --> 00:59:22,840 of the Department of Justice. This goes away in pardon himself. Well, 715 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,559 maybe maybe there was talk that he was going to do that before he left 716 00:59:25,639 --> 00:59:30,360 office. Yeah, that's that's still an open question because it's never been tested. 717 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,679 They're different opinions on whether a president can or cannot pardon himself. I 718 00:59:34,719 --> 00:59:37,199 don't think you can if there isn't a charge on the books, and it 719 00:59:37,239 --> 00:59:40,119 can only be been a charge on the books, then I think maybe it 720 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:45,280 was possible, and it can only be for federal crimes, not state which 721 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,159 I didn't even know until a few years ago. He has charged federally on 722 00:59:47,199 --> 00:59:51,840 this one, im this one. Yeah, so right. So the other 723 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,480 thing that could happen is she might not you know, she might say, 724 00:59:57,039 --> 01:00:04,280 Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and schedule the and um. But then Trump's 725 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,679 defense team could make emotion saying, you know, come on, now, 726 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:12,840 this isn't you can't. You can't try this case before the election. He's 727 01:00:13,079 --> 01:00:15,159 not only is he a former president of the United States, but he's an 728 01:00:15,199 --> 01:00:20,239 active candidate for the presidency. You can't try this case during an election. 729 01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:23,800 And you see, if the arrayment itself gets pushed back because he still doesn't 730 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:28,079 have a Florida qualified attorney to represent him. Well, there is that. 731 01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:32,280 That's another potential wrinkle. But I'm just saying, Eileen Cannon may just give 732 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,159 him an escape hatch and say no, no, no, we're just we're 733 01:00:36,159 --> 01:00:37,920 delaying. We're delaying this. You know, if she decides that, in 734 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,559 other words, if the defense team makes that motion and she says, yeah, 735 01:00:40,639 --> 01:00:45,800 sounds good, We'll just delay this till after the election, no problem. 736 01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:52,280 So don't think that, uh, you know, anybody who's crowing about, 737 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,400 well, this will be his undoing, not necessarily. Um did also 738 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:59,400 just schedule it for December? I mean, Bill Barr said he's toast, 739 01:00:59,559 --> 01:01:02,519 but but that's uh, doesn't mean anything. Oh and by the way, 740 01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:07,440 about about Bill Barr, William Barr, who certainly I think was very loyal 741 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:13,800 to Trump, uh during his tenure as Attorney general. This is just kind 742 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,519 of a side note. But Trump made uh, you know, we heard 743 01:01:16,519 --> 01:01:21,239 it together. Trump made a fat joke about Bill Barr, just like he 744 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:30,800 recently made a fat joke about Chris Christie jerk. Um. I just don't 745 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:37,159 understand, uh, like, does he not realize he's overweighted himself? That's 746 01:01:37,199 --> 01:01:42,440 not how a bully works. The man is a bully. He's been a 747 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,480 bully since he was born. Anytime he wants something, he gets it. 748 01:01:45,559 --> 01:01:50,000 He only knows that if he pushes hot enough, he gets what he wants. 749 01:01:50,039 --> 01:01:52,360 No, but I just wonder is there something first time in his life 750 01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:54,840 he hasn't been able to do that. Is there something psychological though, where 751 01:01:54,880 --> 01:02:00,280 he just doesn't like, I'm serious, because the psycholog do you have? 752 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,559 This type of thing is just really interesting to me. Is there something psychological 753 01:02:02,639 --> 01:02:07,880 where he just doesn't know? Like he just doesn't realize he doesn't say. 754 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:10,639 I doubt he sees himself in the same category. I agree with you on 755 01:02:10,719 --> 01:02:14,920 that one. Yeah, but he doesn't know how to be nice to anybody 756 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:19,280 that he perceives as being on the wrong side. The minute he thinks that 757 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,280 you've done something he doesn't like, you get a nickname, or you get 758 01:02:22,599 --> 01:02:27,119 harassed, or you get you know, called things or fat jokes like he 759 01:02:27,159 --> 01:02:30,159 did today. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's just who this man 760 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:35,039 is. He is an absolute bully, and he leads every ounce of his 761 01:02:35,119 --> 01:02:39,199 decision making with his ego. So here's what this is from insider an opinion 762 01:02:39,199 --> 01:02:44,920 don't you think? Insider says, So, you think they've got Trump right 763 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:49,840 where they want him? A wait till you hear what this former federal prosecutor 764 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,079 turned high in defense attorney has to say. So some bullet points from this. 765 01:02:52,119 --> 01:02:54,840 It says, it sure looks like they've got Trump where they want him, 766 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:59,880 except he's probably going to get a favorable judge and she'll have enormous power 767 01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,719 to prevent Trump from getting convicted. So some details here. It says, 768 01:03:04,639 --> 01:03:07,960 if you think the former president is finally really actually, but for real this 769 01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:12,360 time, about to face justice, hold on for just one moment. He 770 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,880 may have an easy out. Yes, it sounds like this new indictment against 771 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:19,840 Trump is a pretty strong one. Even Fox News's top legal comment or thinks 772 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:23,440 so. He called it extremely damning, and I guess that's a reference to 773 01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:27,880 Bill Barr. And when we're not, I'm sorry, And we're not seeing 774 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:32,480 nearly as much skepticism as we saw after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's indictment either, 775 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:37,920 But one former federal prosecutor turned high in defense attorney, Ken White, 776 01:03:37,199 --> 01:03:42,000 sees a quick path out of trouble for Trump. He said, all Trump 777 01:03:42,119 --> 01:03:45,360 needs is a judge completely in the tank for him, a judge who is 778 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:50,280 willing to sacrifice their reputation in order to protect him. White thinks Trump might 779 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,960 get one judge I lean Cannon, and by the way, that does seem 780 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:58,960 to be the case. As my colleagues, including Kimberly Leonard, reported Friday, 781 01:03:59,079 --> 01:04:03,840 Cannon was why criticized last year when she ruled that an independent arbiter would 782 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:08,320 have to review all the documents at the fbi c's from mar Lago. The 783 01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:13,800 Department of Justice appealed the decision and was rewarded with a brutal rebuke of Cannon 784 01:04:14,159 --> 01:04:18,039 by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The SmackDown was particularly notable because it 785 01:04:18,079 --> 01:04:24,199 came from a panel of judges that included several appointed by Republicans in addition to 786 01:04:24,239 --> 01:04:28,440 being a fancy defense lawyer who also co hosts a legal podcast with Josh Barrow 787 01:04:28,519 --> 01:04:33,400 called Serious Trouble. Reflecting on Cannon's ruling to a point an independent arbiter called 788 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:40,280 a special Master, and other decisions she made during the government's investigation into Trump's 789 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:45,880 handling of classified documents, Barrow said to White on the podcast that Kennon has 790 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,480 shown a quote willingness to behave in a way that most judges likely would not, 791 01:04:50,079 --> 01:04:56,559 even if they were partisan Republicans unquote. White replied, sure, she's 792 01:04:56,599 --> 01:05:00,039 willing to violate the meat loaf rule. I'll do anything for love, but 793 01:05:00,079 --> 01:05:03,559 I won't do that unquote. I didn't know that was Apparently that's I don't 794 01:05:03,559 --> 01:05:09,119 know if that's a technical legal parlance, the meat low rule, But that's 795 01:05:09,159 --> 01:05:14,280 interesting. White said that there are usually a number of factors that smooth even 796 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:18,320 partisan judges out and move them into the middle. He listed a few quote 797 01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:23,280 their relationship with other colleagues, their reputation, they're hopes to be elevated to 798 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,960 a higher bench, their place in history, you know, cocktail party's opinion 799 01:05:27,079 --> 01:05:31,360 of lawyers, all that sort of thing. But sometimes judges just don't give 800 01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:35,760 a blank. And Judge Cannon's behavior in this case in the past was several 801 01:05:36,159 --> 01:05:42,360 very long strides in this direction of don't give a blank unquote. Why it 802 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,920 suspects Cannon maybe imagining what she might be able to get out of a second 803 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:51,000 Trump presidency, He said, quote, you have a situation where it is 804 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:57,480 not even remotely difficult to imagine her acquitting Trump. Trump getting elected Trump elevating 805 01:05:57,519 --> 01:06:00,400 her to the Eleventh Circuit or the Supreme Court. He would totally do it. 806 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,440 His fans would be completely fine with it, and it would be just 807 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:08,000 a giant middle finger to the country. And I mean he would do it 808 01:06:08,159 --> 01:06:12,280 unquote. So how exactly, now this is now guests of the important part. 809 01:06:12,559 --> 01:06:17,519 So how exactly could Cannon protect Trump and end this case against him? 810 01:06:17,559 --> 01:06:24,960 In a moment, White said, quote, she can delay things forever by 811 01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:30,000 making rulings that cannot be appealed. She can make rulings that, while they 812 01:06:30,079 --> 01:06:33,559 don't tank the case, make it very difficult, like excluding evidence by saying 813 01:06:33,599 --> 01:06:40,320 evidence was wrongfully gathered. And that can be something that is a very unfavorable 814 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:45,079 standard on appeal. So, for instance, if she started to rule all 815 01:06:45,079 --> 01:06:50,000 these statements Trump made, that's too prejudicial, it's unfair. I'm keeping it 816 01:06:50,039 --> 01:06:55,360 out. If that goes up on appeal, that's an abuse of discretion standard, 817 01:06:55,440 --> 01:07:00,639 and normally you can't appeal it before the case unquote. White went on 818 01:07:00,719 --> 01:07:05,679 to say how Cannon could go even further quote most drastically, she can do 819 01:07:05,719 --> 01:07:11,239 things that can't be repaired once a jury is impaneled. She can dismiss the 820 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:15,679 case and there's not a thing anyone can do about it. Double jeopardy attaches 821 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:20,440 you're done. She can grant a motion for directed verdict of acquittal after the 822 01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:26,159 government's case, and then we're done. You can't be retired, can't be 823 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:32,119 reviewed, it's over. Unquote White's analysis on the Serious Trouble podcast left Borrow 824 01:07:32,119 --> 01:07:36,000 a little stunned. Borrow asked White, quote, is it possible that the 825 01:07:36,039 --> 01:07:40,800 Department of Justice is walking us into a situation that not only could fail to 826 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:45,639 obtain convictions here, but they could end up setting off a chain of events 827 01:07:45,719 --> 01:07:50,559 that's quite damaging to the federal judiciary. Absolutely, White said. He went 828 01:07:50,599 --> 01:07:55,039 on, quote, people are saying that by charging Trump, you're rilling up 829 01:07:55,039 --> 01:07:58,039 his base, You're made him more likely he's going to get elected, and 830 01:07:58,079 --> 01:08:00,880 then he's going to have a more conservative judicialry. Andslayed himself more a pardon 831 01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:04,440 himself, all this type of stuff. And it's all true, and that 832 01:08:04,559 --> 01:08:09,760 is perfectly possible. But if you're the DOJ, you can't think that way. 833 01:08:10,079 --> 01:08:15,159 Okay, you simply can't think that we now have to retreat from rule 834 01:08:15,199 --> 01:08:18,239 of law because it's too politically costly. If they do that, they're basically 835 01:08:18,239 --> 01:08:24,520 sort of giving up quote. So so there you go. So they lay 836 01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:31,079 out on that podcast multiple possibilities. Yeah, this could drag on until after 837 01:08:31,119 --> 01:08:38,079 his presidency if he got reelected again legitimately could well that's the thing. Yeah, 838 01:08:38,399 --> 01:08:41,720 Um maybe if he's found guilty, I mean, it still be president. 839 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,239 Well another possibility is so it gets delayed until after his presidency, so 840 01:08:45,279 --> 01:08:50,520 then he's uh so then if he gets elected and he serves four years, 841 01:08:51,079 --> 01:08:55,159 and then uh, how does that work with his clarence and then when he's 842 01:08:55,159 --> 01:08:59,800 out, oh, with his scarce security clarence, if you're under investigation for 843 01:09:00,039 --> 01:09:03,960 aking your security clearance, I don't know. I'm sure there's plenty of people 844 01:09:04,039 --> 01:09:10,720 in the intelligence agencies who I'm sure there's enough people who are who will find 845 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,279 a way to make sure that you know, Trump loyalists. Because here's the 846 01:09:14,319 --> 01:09:21,000 thing about that, something that people forget because it kind of went a little 847 01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:27,199 bit under the radar. But when Trump lost the election, do you remember 848 01:09:27,239 --> 01:09:30,680 this, he started, Um, he started changing out a lot of personnel 849 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:35,239 in government, in the intelligence agencies. Yes, and it didn't make any 850 01:09:35,319 --> 01:09:41,239 sense because why would but there was a repent, But there was a reason. 851 01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:44,840 So why, why would you see because you've never seen anything like this 852 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:48,159 before that there were a number of things with this election we'd never seen before 853 01:09:48,159 --> 01:09:51,000 in the aftermath of it, of course, like January sixth, but something 854 01:09:51,039 --> 01:09:55,960 that went a little bit under the radar that not everyone might realize. So 855 01:09:56,600 --> 01:10:00,640 he started appointing people, getting rid of people after he had already lost. 856 01:10:01,079 --> 01:10:04,359 Now, why would you do that if you're the outgoing president and a new 857 01:10:04,399 --> 01:10:08,319 administration is coming in, you don't do that. You don't mess with it. 858 01:10:08,359 --> 01:10:11,920 Would It would be the equivalent of you know, you're working at a 859 01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:16,279 job and you've given you know, you've given your two weeks notice you're leaving, 860 01:10:16,319 --> 01:10:18,760 but on your way out. In that last two weeks, you make 861 01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:25,359 a bunch of personnel decisions for an office that you're not even gonna be managing 862 01:10:25,359 --> 01:10:29,319 anymore as soon. It wouldn't make sense, right, But there's a concept 863 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:33,199 called the burrowing in, and that's what Trump was doing. He was putting 864 01:10:33,239 --> 01:10:38,119 people loyal to him in place, even though he was on his way out, 865 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,840 and he knew he was on his way out, but he was hiring 866 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,039 all these people and putting them in place. Why would you do that? 867 01:10:45,399 --> 01:10:47,600 Because you're going to be trying to get back there someday and you're going to 868 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:53,520 need those people. So if he has enough of those people in place, 869 01:10:54,199 --> 01:10:58,479 if he even if you know, there's obvious questions about his security clearance, 870 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:00,479 if he is reelected, well he's got people in place to make sure, 871 01:11:01,039 --> 01:11:04,920 No, he has a smooth ride with all of that. He's he's already 872 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,840 got the Yeah, like you said, the Pentagon. Yeah, he made 873 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:12,720 sure he burrowed in. That's what it's called burrowing in. Just usually nobody 874 01:11:13,119 --> 01:11:15,560 to help him out too. I mean, look at him, what do 875 01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:19,159 you mean all the changes that they've made, they're you know, they're they're 876 01:11:19,159 --> 01:11:26,359 helping them out. I'm sure, um, you know. Yeah, we 877 01:11:26,399 --> 01:11:29,640 are just past the top of the hour. So let's um, let's take 878 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,600 a break. I'm gonna play another My Life Crisis song if you're just joining 879 01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,640 us. My Life Crisis if you don't know. My Life Crisis was a 880 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:41,359 band that I was in with my friend Ben Brackett York, who I got 881 01:11:41,399 --> 01:11:45,039 the word today that he has passed away. So to honor him, we're 882 01:11:45,039 --> 01:11:48,840 playing a few My Life Crisis songs today. So we're gonna play, um, 883 01:11:49,039 --> 01:11:53,800 let's do this. This one's called half Fast. Uh, this is 884 01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,840 a this is a great track. I ran this suits him some software today 885 01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,520 to kind of make it radio ready because it's more of more of a demo 886 01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:04,359 recording. But but I think it's I think it sounds pretty good. So 887 01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:09,600 we're gonna play this and then we're gonna show some love to our amazing sponsors, 888 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,039 and then we'll be back with our number two Numerodos.

So there you go. 958 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:45,560 Policy says we have more than YouTube down in the basement. Yes, 959 01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:49,560 yes, you know, we have the uh the vast archive, the WMNH 960 01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:55,079 archive here in the bowels. If I'm gonna use that of the building, 961 01:20:55,239 --> 01:20:58,880 that's sounding a little grows the bowels of the building. And what Paul does. 962 01:20:59,199 --> 01:21:01,439 Paul has to uh you know, it's this huge room in the basement, 963 01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:06,239 the archives. And Paul goes down there with his his lantern and uh 964 01:21:06,359 --> 01:21:11,039 looks around for for things to play on the show. Oh no, I'm 965 01:21:11,079 --> 01:21:14,000 sorry, I actually no, he used as a flashlight now because you know 966 01:21:14,039 --> 01:21:16,079 he almost uh you know, let the building on fire with the lantern. 967 01:21:16,119 --> 01:21:21,039 That's very dangerous. You should not bring a lantern or any kind of or 968 01:21:21,039 --> 01:21:26,960 even a lighter. Don't bring anything with the flame into the basement of archives, 969 01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:30,239 especially in these old buildings. You know, they'll go up like uh 970 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,800 you know, like like something on fire like tinder. Yes, yes, 971 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:42,239 absolutely so, Yes, the the vast uh archives. Uh let's see six 972 01:21:42,319 --> 01:21:45,359 ZO three two five six seven six ZO three two five six seven if you 973 01:21:45,359 --> 01:21:49,560 would like to join us on the program today. By the way, we 974 01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:54,880 were talking earlier about, you know, the the picture and the wonderful it's 975 01:21:54,960 --> 01:22:00,079 very meimable the of course the picture going around of the the boxes in the 976 01:22:00,079 --> 01:22:03,960 bathroom. Um. Funny thing about that now, when uh, Stephen Colmley 977 01:22:04,039 --> 01:22:09,760 Senior, I brought the secret documents that he gave you know, if you 978 01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:14,800 remember a few years ago, he brought two envelopes to WMNH, one for 979 01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,479 me and one for Peter White of the Morning Show with Peter White. And 980 01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:21,199 Uh, as you know, I the envelope of secret documents that he gave 981 01:22:21,239 --> 01:22:24,439 to me. I sleep with it, you know, under the pillow every 982 01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:27,359 night, so I think, so I can I can guard it. But 983 01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:31,039 uh, Peter took his envelope and filed it somewhere. And uh and he 984 01:22:31,159 --> 01:22:33,760 I know that he filed it somewhere where no one would think to look, 985 01:22:34,359 --> 01:22:36,439 is what he told me, that no one would ever find it. But 986 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:43,600 I suspect he may have filed his in in fact a bathroom, perhaps a 987 01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:45,640 bathroom waste basket. So circular file. Oh. By the way, Paul 988 01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,119 says, uh, with the lanterns. The reason it's dangerous is there's a 989 01:22:49,119 --> 01:22:55,720 lot of sixteenth century sheet music down there that's true, and and that that 990 01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:01,039 actually burns quicker than than anything sixteenth century sheet music. The type of parchment 991 01:23:01,079 --> 01:23:05,199 that was used, it's a highly flammable even more so than regular paper. 992 01:23:05,399 --> 01:23:10,319 Was it hemp paper? I don't know. Wow, that that could be 993 01:23:10,439 --> 01:23:13,920 very interesting if that catches on. In the day, everything was hemp paper. 994 01:23:14,359 --> 01:23:18,720 Declaration of Independence is written on hemp paper. That's right, tree that, 995 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:23,399 that's right. You know. It used to actually be a lot of 996 01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:28,199 grow it because it was used in the manufacture of the giant ropes. Yes, 997 01:23:28,239 --> 01:23:31,680 for the giant ships. Yes, well can't they They can still do 998 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:35,359 it for can't they. The laws are different now, Yeah, but didn't 999 01:23:35,399 --> 01:23:39,640 they change, haven't haven't The law has been changed again in some places where 1000 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,000 they can go back to growing it. Oh yeah, and no, yeah, 1001 01:23:43,079 --> 01:23:45,399 yeah, yeah, hemp is legal to grow I think of most any 1002 01:23:45,399 --> 01:23:47,960 place. Now they may change at the federal level. That really opened things 1003 01:23:48,039 --> 01:23:50,279 up. Yeah, but I only know about this stuff because when I was 1004 01:23:50,319 --> 01:23:56,600 growing up in Plymouth, Massachusetts, this place called Cordage Park and that was 1005 01:23:56,640 --> 01:24:00,640 the old rope factory and you can go in there and see pieces of it. 1006 01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:02,720 And the ships used to be able to actually pull up quite far. 1007 01:24:03,079 --> 01:24:09,239 Oh okay, and get their ropes and giant ropes. Uh. So we 1008 01:24:09,239 --> 01:24:12,600 were talking about the bathroom earlier with the documents and the you know, the 1009 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,720 chandelier is all fancy, um, and I happened to uh, I was 1010 01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:19,279 going to move on to another element of this, but then I happen to 1011 01:24:19,319 --> 01:24:25,920 see this on media apparently Kevin McCarthy House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Uh. He 1012 01:24:26,119 --> 01:24:32,439 says that he's arguing that Trump hoarding documents next to the toilet was sufficiently secure 1013 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:40,680 because, quote, a bathroom door locks, but that doesn't fly under under 1014 01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:45,520 the It doesn't know the Federal Code of what is Uh, I can't think 1015 01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:48,399 of the right thing. It's as a code eighteen what is it eighteen? 1016 01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:55,479 US Code that they're charging him under, specifically Section F because I actually looked 1017 01:24:55,520 --> 01:25:00,399 this up. Um, if you're somebody who's been entrusted with having to be 1018 01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:09,039 able to lawfully possess these books or paperwork or whatever it is, you must 1019 01:25:09,199 --> 01:25:14,560 make sure that it is where it belongs. You cannot then be grossly negligent 1020 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,560 and take it and put it where it doesn't belong. It has a place 1021 01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:21,439 that belongs. Yeah, right, classified documents is supposed to be with the 1022 01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:26,640 archivist and whatever department that they belong in. Yeah, that's where it's supposed 1023 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,279 to be. You violate the code if you take it with you and go 1024 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:34,159 mine. I'm not giving it back mine. Yeah. See, that doesn't 1025 01:25:34,199 --> 01:25:36,840 fly under the federal statute. Yeah, but if you put it in a 1026 01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:40,479 bathroom with a lock, that's not good enough. No, no, not 1027 01:25:40,560 --> 01:25:45,319 good enough because you have let's see you having knowledge that the lets it's not 1028 01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:50,680 sorry, Oh, it has to be in its proper place of custody or 1029 01:25:51,159 --> 01:25:55,920 so if it's been removed and it's not in its proper place of custody where 1030 01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:59,319 it's assigned to be, like these documents are, they have to be like 1031 01:25:59,399 --> 01:26:05,640 signed out suh, then you are violating US code under the Espionage Act, 1032 01:26:06,279 --> 01:26:10,760 Part F. Specifically, if you'd like to look up the language. Of 1033 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,000 course, there are other areas of this code that he's completely violated. We 1034 01:26:14,039 --> 01:26:16,600 can go through that if you would like. But specifically, I drew my 1035 01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:21,399 attention to the section F because it addresses somebody who had the lawful right to 1036 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:28,000 have the documents at one point but didn't leave them where they're supposed to be. 1037 01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:33,039 All right, let me throw this hypothetical at you or already. What 1038 01:26:33,159 --> 01:26:38,279 if what if they found themselves at the resort? Uh? What if they 1039 01:26:38,279 --> 01:26:42,399 happen to find themselves a little short on paper towels? You know. See 1040 01:26:42,399 --> 01:26:45,680 that doesn't count still because you have not put it where it rightfully belongs. 1041 01:26:46,319 --> 01:26:51,039 You see this, this file associated with nuclear things is supposed to be with 1042 01:26:51,119 --> 01:26:58,079 the nuclear thing. I may have been missing them, okay, may I 1043 01:26:58,119 --> 01:27:02,119 may have misunderstood what the control issue is here, you know, an intelligence 1044 01:27:02,199 --> 01:27:09,000 having to do with our capacity to defend ourselves or how we might attack someone, 1045 01:27:09,119 --> 01:27:15,119 say Iran. These two belong probably somewhere in the pentagonish kind of realm, 1046 01:27:15,199 --> 01:27:18,720 you know, military ish, yeah kind of realm. Yeah. So 1047 01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:25,000 so that again cannot hang out with Sharman, right right, Yeah, yeah, 1048 01:27:25,039 --> 01:27:28,199 so there's that. So um try again, Okay, keep throwing them 1049 01:27:28,199 --> 01:27:30,600 out right. Well, I think you can stump me. I understand it 1050 01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:33,239 better now. I just I was trying to think of I was trying to 1051 01:27:33,239 --> 01:27:38,359 think a little lot outside the box. Yes, it says here again this 1052 01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:43,439 is from media. I how Speaker Kevin McCarthy defended former President Donald Trump's a 1053 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:47,119 storage of classified documents, telling reporters today that at least one of the now 1054 01:27:47,279 --> 01:27:53,920 viral photos allegedly showing the documents at his residence at Marlago was fine because quote 1055 01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:59,960 a bathroom door locks unquote. Last Friday, the doj unsealed the federal indictment 1056 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:03,920 stemming from a special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of the ex president, with thirty 1057 01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:10,319 seven criminal accounts, spelling out how Trump retained boxes of documents that quote included 1058 01:28:10,359 --> 01:28:15,479 information regarding defense and weapons capabilities as you alluded, of both the United States 1059 01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:20,840 and foreign countries, United States nuclear programs, potential vulnerabilities of the United States 1060 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:26,800 and its allies to military attack, and plans for possible retaliation in response to 1061 01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:30,960 foreign attack. Some of the most shocking allegations in the indictment related to communications 1062 01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:34,920 from Trump, his family members, his attorneys, and other staffers acknowledging that 1063 01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:40,319 he had retained classified information that had not been declassified. Plus the now viral 1064 01:28:40,359 --> 01:28:45,920 photos showing boxes of documents that allegedly contained classified information stacked up in bathrooms, 1065 01:28:46,119 --> 01:28:53,800 ballroom stages, storage rooms, and other non secure areas. Trump unsurprisingly has 1066 01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:59,560 reacted with a series of bombastic truth social posts with furious screeds. During his 1067 01:28:59,560 --> 01:29:03,680 speech and interviews over the past few days, Pepper throughout with his customary insistence 1068 01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:10,520 that he is the victim of a witch hunt. The ex president is falling 1069 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:15,239 back on his witch hunt playbook, said CNN's Dana Bash to introduce the clip 1070 01:29:15,239 --> 01:29:19,039 of McCarthy quote, and his Republican allies are playing right along. Just minutes 1071 01:29:19,039 --> 01:29:25,239 ago, the House Speaker deployed some bathroom humor to discuss the Special Counsel's indictment. 1072 01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:29,800 A reporter asked McCarthy, was that a good look for the former president 1073 01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:33,000 to have boxes in a bathroom? And McCarthy said, quote, I don't 1074 01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:36,800 know. Is it a good picture to have boxes in a garage that opens 1075 01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:42,279 up all the time? Unquote, he replied, presumably referring to the classified 1076 01:29:42,279 --> 01:29:45,399 documents that were found in the garage at President Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home. 1077 01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:51,640 And and he probably thinks that servants don't pee, because we've we've disseminated 1078 01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:58,039 that this is obviously a bathroom that wasn't used by his highnessed right right, 1079 01:30:00,119 --> 01:30:06,319 um, a bathroom door locks, McCarthy added. Representative Jamie Raskin, a 1080 01:30:06,359 --> 01:30:10,439 Democrat of Maryland, who is a ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. 1081 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:14,840 Uh An served on the JAM six House Select Committee, joined bash to discuss 1082 01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:18,000 the indictment and started with McCarthy's comments. Raskin said, with a chuckle, 1083 01:30:18,119 --> 01:30:23,079 quote, Well, it's the first I've seen that particular defense. But is 1084 01:30:23,119 --> 01:30:27,680 he suggesting that these boxes of classified documents got up and locked the door after 1085 01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,800 people left the bathroom. I'm not quite sure I follow the logic of it. 1086 01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:33,840 Unquote. See, this is what I was wondering, because don't they 1087 01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:39,600 only lock from the inside. Yeah, that's a that's a really good point, 1088 01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:44,800 right, So for McCarthy's defense to hold up, there would have to 1089 01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:48,680 be uh mate, Now, you know what McCarthy. Probably he might assume 1090 01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:55,199 because it's at Mara Lago. Maybe McCarthy just assumed. And by the way, 1091 01:30:55,239 --> 01:30:59,680 McCarthy has been Tomorrow Lago, of course, as we know, right 1092 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,319 after, you know, after jan six, McCarthy went down there for that 1093 01:31:02,359 --> 01:31:09,279 pose with that wonderful picture with that President Trump. But McCarthy might have assumed 1094 01:31:09,399 --> 01:31:15,159 that there is a bathroom attendant on duty at all times who actually locks the 1095 01:31:15,199 --> 01:31:19,800 door while in the bathroom and then waits for someone to come and knock on 1096 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:25,479 the door, at which point the bathroom attendant then opens the door and steps 1097 01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:30,000 out unless the other person swep. But the thing is now, you said, 1098 01:31:30,039 --> 01:31:32,000 that's what is there for? Well, well, the thing is so, 1099 01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:36,520 as Raskin points out, it's not like the documents can can you know, 1100 01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:41,199 they're inanimate objects. It's not as though they can lock the doors themselves. 1101 01:31:41,199 --> 01:31:44,600 And that's true the door itself. You can't even really trust humans to 1102 01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:46,399 do that. I mean, do you know how many times I've walked into 1103 01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:50,039 a public bathroom at a say, a convenience store, where somebody was already 1104 01:31:50,039 --> 01:31:54,000 in there, but they forgot to lock the door. Right, That's happened 1105 01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:57,960 to me so many times. Somebody's in here, yeah, And you know 1106 01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:02,119 what's infuriating about that is the person who is in the bathroom already who didn't 1107 01:32:02,159 --> 01:32:05,840 bother to lock the door. They never, ever, not once where this 1108 01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:09,319 has happened to me, not once, is that person ever said, oh 1109 01:32:09,319 --> 01:32:11,359 sorry, man, I forgot to lock it. No, no, no, 1110 01:32:11,399 --> 01:32:14,359 you know what they do? Instead they glare at me like I'm the 1111 01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:18,199 jerk because I walked into a bathroom that they didn't bother to lock. Well, 1112 01:32:18,239 --> 01:32:21,760 and I resent it you aren't using your X ray vision. I know, 1113 01:32:23,119 --> 01:32:26,600 very disappointed, I know, But listen, you're talking about what I 1114 01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:32,760 believe to be the weakest speaker in United States history. He sold every part 1115 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:38,159 of himself off just to get that title. He has made so many shady 1116 01:32:38,159 --> 01:32:43,479 agreements and whatever to be that person that he's got no power. He really 1117 01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,439 has no power. Oh, I mean, I don't think he's got a 1118 01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:50,560 lot of power at all at all. I didn't got him by the cajones. 1119 01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:56,960 It takes one. I don't quite agree, only because I would have 1120 01:32:57,039 --> 01:33:00,600 felt that way more. I mean, yeah, he did have to give 1121 01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:04,439 away a lot for everything. I mean, he probably is in that regard 1122 01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:08,880 because of all that he had to give away. The weakest, the weakest 1123 01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:12,800 speaker. But I think, but I would not say he has no power 1124 01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:17,760 because if you remember, leading up to the debt ceiling deal, one of 1125 01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:20,399 the things I was very worried about, one of the things where I thought 1126 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:24,560 we might actually really go over the cliff, and I was feeling pretty pessimistic, 1127 01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:28,199 was because I didn't think he'd be able to get h once he made 1128 01:33:28,199 --> 01:33:30,279 a deal, I didn't think he'd be able to get it through the house, 1129 01:33:30,319 --> 01:33:34,000 and he did. He delivered. I actually, well, I don't 1130 01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:38,079 have a lot of don't deliver. I don't have a lot of the makeup 1131 01:33:38,119 --> 01:33:40,920 of what he was playing with here. I don't have a lot of regard 1132 01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,800 for the guy. But he did. He did get it done. He 1133 01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:45,119 said he would get it done, and he did get it done. And 1134 01:33:45,159 --> 01:33:50,159 I will give him some grudging respect for that. I will. I got 1135 01:33:50,159 --> 01:33:53,600 a crumb, I'll give him that. Well, I'll give him that. 1136 01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:57,279 But I think he's a He's the weakest speaker this country's ever had. Oh 1137 01:33:57,319 --> 01:34:00,000 no, I think that's I think that's true. I think that's true. 1138 01:34:00,239 --> 01:34:02,600 But but when you say he has no power, well he did. He 1139 01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:06,119 managed to. He doesn't have a heck of a lot. He might not 1140 01:34:06,159 --> 01:34:09,000 have a heck of a lot, but he had enough to get that dead 1141 01:34:09,039 --> 01:34:12,439 ceiling deal done. And that's and that's not nothing. That's not one hundred 1142 01:34:12,439 --> 01:34:15,399 percent on him. I don't see it's a I don't see that as a 1143 01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:17,279 hundred part. I'm not saying that his work in the sense that when you 1144 01:34:17,279 --> 01:34:20,960 look at the makeup of the Republicans that he was dealing with, he had 1145 01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:26,640 a larger majority of Republicans that didn't want to go over a cliff than those 1146 01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:30,039 willing to go over the cliff. The yeah, the what do you call 1147 01:34:30,119 --> 01:34:33,159 him? The little group the House Freedom Caucus. So they say, um, 1148 01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:38,199 just not if you're a woman. Not if you're a woman. By 1149 01:34:38,239 --> 01:34:43,840 my standards, and what I was expecting, he overperformed, really be overperformed 1150 01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:47,399 in that I had very low expectations and very little faith in him. And 1151 01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:50,720 he lucky and he came through. I think he was lucky. I will 1152 01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:55,079 give him credit for that, but I certainly don't give him any credit for 1153 01:34:55,159 --> 01:35:00,840 his uh, his defense of on the bathroom thing is beyond pathetic. Seriously, 1154 01:35:01,239 --> 01:35:09,760 give the inside guy. Yeah, and these people buy it. Oh 1155 01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:15,479 and and and and incidentally, files being found in a garage not okay by 1156 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:19,399 any stretch of the imagination, of course. So also, under the law, 1157 01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:23,479 you were supposed to return this stuff. You don't get to keep it 1158 01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:26,680 forever. Right, It's not how it works. It's not how it's ever 1159 01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:32,680 worked. Right. Well, yeah, especially when they come knocking and ask 1160 01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,119 you for it. Right, all he had to do was knock, knock, 1161 01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:40,680 give us the stuff back. If he giving it all back, we 1162 01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:43,560 wouldn't even be talking about none of it right. None of this would be 1163 01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,560 if when the archive came asking came asking for it. Yep, Um, 1164 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:49,880 none of this would be happening. I dare say, even if when the 1165 01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:55,199 FBI came looking for it, if if they hadn't played hide the ball with 1166 01:35:55,239 --> 01:35:58,359 all of this and just cooperated, I don't think any of this would be 1167 01:35:58,359 --> 01:36:01,520 happening. And we know that they were boxes moved before the lawyer got to 1168 01:36:01,479 --> 01:36:05,399 there to see. And here the lawyer goes to certify. Nope, nope, 1169 01:36:05,399 --> 01:36:09,479 we've given you everything. It's all good now, and it probably would 1170 01:36:09,479 --> 01:36:14,920 have ended there if not yet again no, yep, because his ego won't 1171 01:36:15,039 --> 01:36:18,720 let anything else rule. This guy decides something's his, he's gonna take it 1172 01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:23,079 to the grave with him. He doesn't know how to be wrong, and 1173 01:36:23,119 --> 01:36:25,880 he doesn't know how to not get his way. I don't think he's ever 1174 01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:29,720 not gotten his way in his entire life. This, this little silver spoon 1175 01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:31,560 got up and took us, and now he gets whatever he wants. This 1176 01:36:31,600 --> 01:36:34,800 is the first situation this guy's probably ever been in with somebody's going no, 1177 01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:41,840 you cannot no, how can you say no to the great One? I 1178 01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:47,159 mean seriously, that's what this is. His ego brought him down this road. 1179 01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:51,439 His ego did this to him. While there are two there are two 1180 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:56,760 key differences, you know, because people will say, well, what about 1181 01:36:56,800 --> 01:36:59,920 Biden and what about Pence? And you know, listen, I take I 1182 01:37:00,079 --> 01:37:02,680 take it all very seriously. Um, Or what about Hillary? You know, 1183 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:06,119 we're still in in now and it's the year twenty twenty three and we're 1184 01:37:06,159 --> 01:37:12,600 hearing but our emails. Um, there's a there's a key difference uh here 1185 01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:16,640 uh not, and not not just in the magnitude of what we're talking about, 1186 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:21,039 but two key things, two words that are very important here, intent 1187 01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:27,279 and obstruction. I mean you you were just talking about all the obstruction. 1188 01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:33,279 Um. You know everybody else cooperated when something like this came up. Um. 1189 01:37:33,520 --> 01:37:35,760 And by the way, I will I will just remind people too, 1190 01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:41,439 the special counsel investigation, not Jack Smith, but a different a different individual 1191 01:37:42,319 --> 01:37:47,079 who's investigating Biden and the secret documents there because there are still some important questions 1192 01:37:47,079 --> 01:37:50,960 there. That's an ongoing investigation. I'll just remind everybody of that, so 1193 01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:54,600 you know, don't be so quick to say, oh, they just let 1194 01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,840 Biden off. The No, that is ongoing, Uh, Mike Pence. 1195 01:37:57,880 --> 01:38:00,359 They let off the hook because Mike Pence operated, it seemed to be an 1196 01:38:00,399 --> 01:38:05,159 honest mistake. Again, and that goes to intent. So so in this 1197 01:38:05,199 --> 01:38:13,119 case, you have the obvious obstruction of Trump, but you also have intent. 1198 01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:17,520 What was his intent? And that is the thing that I want to 1199 01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:23,439 know. And I've said this before and I'll say it again. I don't 1200 01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:26,840 care if you're you know, you can be the biggest Trump supporter. You 1201 01:38:26,840 --> 01:38:29,640 can be full on maga. You can have the big Trump flag on your 1202 01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:31,800 pickup truck, you can wear the hat, you can you know whatever. 1203 01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,000 You can be as deeply in love with Trump as you want to be. 1204 01:38:34,359 --> 01:38:40,079 But every American, no matter who you are, whether you think you need 1205 01:38:40,119 --> 01:38:44,640 an explanation, whether you're even the slightest pic curious, or you just put 1206 01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:47,960 your absolute total faith in this man for whatever reason, I'll never understand. 1207 01:38:48,399 --> 01:38:54,239 No matter who you are as an American, you deserve, I deserve, 1208 01:38:54,359 --> 01:39:00,920 we all, every single one of us deserves an explanation. What was his 1209 01:39:01,359 --> 01:39:09,399 intent? Why did he take these things? And why did he try so 1210 01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:15,000 desperately to keep them? We all deserve an explanation. I understand if you're 1211 01:39:15,039 --> 01:39:18,600 a supporter of his, you don't need an explanation, and you don't care 1212 01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:24,199 because you just believe in him so deeply that it just doesn't matter to you. 1213 01:39:24,279 --> 01:39:27,600 I get it. But whether you want an explanation or not, you 1214 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:30,560 deserve one. We all deserve one. I'm an American citizen, I'm an 1215 01:39:30,560 --> 01:39:35,640 American taxpayer. I want to know why, and what is one thing that 1216 01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:41,239 he has not explained. You know, every time he's asked, every time 1217 01:39:41,279 --> 01:39:44,359 he's asked, he says, he says, oh, I had every right 1218 01:39:44,399 --> 01:39:46,279 to take them, And he talks about how he thinks he had every right 1219 01:39:46,279 --> 01:39:48,119 to take them and every right to keep them, and how they're his and 1220 01:39:48,159 --> 01:39:54,199 all that. I have yet to hear him say anything about what his intention 1221 01:39:54,479 --> 01:39:59,319 was in having these and what he intended to do with that information. I 1222 01:39:59,399 --> 01:40:04,680 have not once heard him say anything about that, And I want to know. 1223 01:40:06,039 --> 01:40:11,720 Here's my opinion from the cheap seats. I really I draw this right 1224 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:15,079 back to his ego again. I don't think he ever had an intention of 1225 01:40:15,119 --> 01:40:18,239 trying to make money or sell them off to Russia. I don't think that. 1226 01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:25,680 What I do think is he's already told us in what we've learned from 1227 01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:29,439 what was released and things that he said. He had this thing about going 1228 01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,359 see what I got, look at this, Look what I have? You 1229 01:40:32,399 --> 01:40:35,159 know, oh, and I've got this. I mean he even says things 1230 01:40:35,159 --> 01:40:38,680 like that. There's that in the section that they keep bringing up where he 1231 01:40:39,039 --> 01:40:42,199 says how he had the power when he was president, but he doesn't have 1232 01:40:42,279 --> 01:40:45,680 the power because he's not president anymore. He's talking about a specific document, 1233 01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:51,039 a classified document which they haven't found yet, which they haven't found yet. 1234 01:40:51,239 --> 01:40:58,159 This man is he has to his only it's kind of sad, you know, 1235 01:40:58,199 --> 01:41:00,560 when you think about it. The only way he could feel good about 1236 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:02,359 himself as if he's showing off, Look what I have, Look what I 1237 01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:08,720 have, and it maybe that's something. And then when somebody looks at Trump 1238 01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:12,479 and says you can't have this, he digs in, Oh, no, 1239 01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:16,479 you're not taking nothing away from me. This is Mayan And that's what I 1240 01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:19,960 see with this guy. And that's what I think has been his his entire 1241 01:41:20,039 --> 01:41:29,359 downfall, which has toppled leaders through history their egos. We have a call. 1242 01:41:29,399 --> 01:41:32,479 I think this might be Charles. Charles. Is that you Yes, 1243 01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:41,560 it is Charles from the State of Florida, Florida. Right, you've you've 1244 01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:47,479 been the greatness has been. The Santists out of it. Yes, what's 1245 01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:51,600 on your mind? Charles? So I'm thinking here, what if it's the 1246 01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:59,079 blackmail anybody that tried to do You think that's maybe a possibility of why he 1247 01:41:59,119 --> 01:42:01,199 has all this stuff, why he wants to show up, maybe not to 1248 01:42:01,239 --> 01:42:04,640 show up, but like, well, if anybody tries to double cross me, 1249 01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:10,479 well I can do this to them. Well there is something is like 1250 01:42:10,520 --> 01:42:14,359 the JFK as that nation documents or pitches that he had or something. I 1251 01:42:14,359 --> 01:42:18,119 mean, I don't know that there is. Um, there is a concept 1252 01:42:18,239 --> 01:42:26,640 called gray male, which is where you have you have documents or information that 1253 01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:31,640 um that you know, our intelligence agencies would not want to be made public, 1254 01:42:32,119 --> 01:42:38,039 so you kind of hold onto those as leverage. Um. But I 1255 01:42:38,359 --> 01:42:42,680 don't know, I mean, anything's possible, but uh, nuclear secrets, 1256 01:42:43,399 --> 01:42:53,840 I don't know the movements of other nations military. I'm from porn star scandals, 1257 01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:59,479 from tax scandals and all this other stuff. He's probably gotten some intelligence 1258 01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:02,239 on. Like well, there's probably gonna be more scandals coming up because I've 1259 01:43:02,279 --> 01:43:05,479 done so much. You know, something out there. I'm just gonna go 1260 01:43:05,479 --> 01:43:09,680 ahead, hold onto a document just so I can go ahead and clear myself 1261 01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:14,880 or to fight back. I don't know. I don't understand who he's blackmailing. 1262 01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:18,680 Is he blackmailing the Navy? I don't know. Well, because if 1263 01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:23,039 I say blackmail and now that's a that's a racist thing. So maybe it's 1264 01:43:23,039 --> 01:43:26,159 whitemailing. I don't know. But wow, anyway, No, I think 1265 01:43:26,199 --> 01:43:29,800 you can still say blackmail. Wow, I don't think that, man, 1266 01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:32,359 Sure, yeah, I listen. I don't know anymore. It's a it's 1267 01:43:32,359 --> 01:43:36,159 a different it's a different United States than why I was when I was ten 1268 01:43:36,239 --> 01:43:41,279 years old. So wow, a little less racism in the country. It's 1269 01:43:41,319 --> 01:43:45,520 amazing. Well, yeah, it's a it's a well, it's it's now 1270 01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:47,760 more out than it was before. I never thought of it when I was 1271 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:51,199 ten years old, but my god, it's in my head all the time 1272 01:43:51,239 --> 01:43:57,800 from everything I see, And what's it's now more than ever? What? 1273 01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:00,439 Anyway? What's that was my opinion with Donald Trump? What what? What's 1274 01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,520 out? What? What do you mean? What's out more? Now? 1275 01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:08,600 What were you? What were you back? When? Back when I was 1276 01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:12,359 ten years old, I could go outside without having the fear of pedophiles. 1277 01:44:12,359 --> 01:44:15,479 I can go outside without the fear of of of of saying racist things or 1278 01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:23,439 anybody bringing it up. You're a little I knew better because I was growing 1279 01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:29,039 up that way. I knew better. But it's like it's publicized to the 1280 01:44:29,119 --> 01:44:32,359 tenth degree now. Now it's like nobody everybody's scared to get out of their 1281 01:44:32,399 --> 01:44:38,119 house. Everybody's scared to meet with their neighbors. Everybody's always like hmm, 1282 01:44:38,119 --> 01:44:43,960 what are they up to? You know, just nobody has any trust anymore. 1283 01:44:45,279 --> 01:44:51,039 I think I'm wrong. I think you're wrong, and I think that's 1284 01:44:51,039 --> 01:44:55,720 your opinion. But that's my opinion because I think back then I could go 1285 01:44:55,760 --> 01:45:00,680 out and play outside and ride my bike with a Now, really it's all 1286 01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:06,239 designed to put fear into other people, that is I think I've ever heard. 1287 01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:10,279 Yes, there were no pedophiles back when we were young. All right, 1288 01:45:10,359 --> 01:45:18,039 Well I didn't say that. I'm sorry, yea, all right, 1289 01:45:18,039 --> 01:45:24,319 thanks Charles, all right, Oh my god, I'm not. I'm not 1290 01:45:24,399 --> 01:45:28,479 sure that that wasn't. Uh. I don't know I would say racist things 1291 01:45:28,520 --> 01:45:30,079 like you could when he was ten. No, I don't think that's what 1292 01:45:30,119 --> 01:45:33,800 he was saying. What he said, But I'm not I'm not a little 1293 01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,239 No, well no, because he said he was raised better than that, 1294 01:45:36,279 --> 01:45:40,479 he knew better. But I don't know, I'm not People could say things 1295 01:45:40,520 --> 01:45:43,399 and it was get in trouble. I don't know what. We talk about 1296 01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,720 racism too much. I don't know, Dare. It wasn't clear to me. 1297 01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:49,119 But the phone connection was terrible, So yeah, I didn't hear you 1298 01:45:49,119 --> 01:45:53,239 echoing. Didn't. I didn't want to get into a protracted discussion. But 1299 01:45:53,279 --> 01:45:56,840 I'm not sure exactly. I remember when I was in elementary school, we 1300 01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:01,760 had the clown is scary guy driving around in a white van dressed like a 1301 01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:08,239 clown from the waist stop and he was snatching kids Randolph, Massachusetts. And 1302 01:46:08,359 --> 01:46:12,000 we were all advised in elementary school and told to like run into a store 1303 01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:15,520 or run into the police well wherever you were if you saw a white van, 1304 01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:18,960 just just run away, just get away from it. I remember this 1305 01:46:19,079 --> 01:46:21,640 like, I mean, it was a big deal. It was like scarring. 1306 01:46:23,039 --> 01:46:25,720 Yeah, if you want to get in with a call before you run 1307 01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:30,600 out of time six zero three two five zero six zero seven six zero three 1308 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:34,279 two five six seven, we've got a little bit of time left. I 1309 01:46:34,319 --> 01:46:40,600 did see this um. One of the things that's been interesting about the way 1310 01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:45,439 the different Republican candidates are reacting to, uh yeah, to this. Of 1311 01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:50,239 Now you've got Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey, and Asa Hutchinson, 1312 01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:55,520 former governor of Arkansas. Who are you know, who are are willing 1313 01:46:55,520 --> 01:47:03,279 to actually risk raising the ire of MAGA world and actually be critical of Trump. 1314 01:47:03,359 --> 01:47:06,680 But then of course you've got well, you've got Mike Penns who just 1315 01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,119 continues to you know, He'll say, well, nobody's above the law. 1316 01:47:11,159 --> 01:47:13,760 But I'm just so troubled to see this happening. It's like, well, 1317 01:47:13,760 --> 01:47:17,880 which is it, dude? And there's some reaction from Nicky Haley. It 1318 01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:24,640 says here from media. Nicky Haley rips Trump over doc's case on Fox News, 1319 01:47:25,119 --> 01:47:29,840 says was incredibly reckless with our national security if charges are true, so 1320 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:34,680 says your Republican presidential candidate and former South Carolina governor Nicky Haley criticized former President 1321 01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:40,800 Donald Trump today, stating that if federal charges against him are valid, his 1322 01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:45,640 behavior was incredibly reckless. The Department of Justice unsealed and indictment of the former 1323 01:47:45,640 --> 01:47:48,800 president on Friday, and connection with his retention of government documents he took to 1324 01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:55,319 his Marlago residence when he left office. The material, quote included information regarding 1325 01:47:55,319 --> 01:48:00,000 defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries, United States 1326 01:48:00,119 --> 01:48:03,399 nuclear programs, potential vulnerabilities of the United States and its allies to military attack, 1327 01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:10,920 and plans for possible retaliation in response to foreign attack. Une Hailey tweeted 1328 01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:17,239 about the indictment on Friday, calling it prosecutorial overreach. However, she now 1329 01:48:17,279 --> 01:48:23,000 appears to be pivoting, appearing on the Story, which I guess is a 1330 01:48:23,039 --> 01:48:27,079 show on Fox. Hailey, Trump's former UN ambassador, was asked about his 1331 01:48:27,119 --> 01:48:33,680 scheduled arraignment on Tuesday. Martha McCallum said, quote, he's facing the indictment 1332 01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:38,479 tomorrow. Obviously, these are serious, serious accusations in a situation that he 1333 01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:43,439 finds himself in. What's your reaction to what he's to what's going on in 1334 01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:46,359 what we're going to see play out tomorrow? What do you say to voters 1335 01:48:46,399 --> 01:48:50,960 about how they should look at this? Unquote? Hailey responded by praising Trump's 1336 01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:56,279 tenure as president and blasting the Department of Justice. Eventually, she got around 1337 01:48:56,279 --> 01:48:59,560 to addressing his actions in the case. Okay, so I guess she's going 1338 01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:02,920 to try to It sounds like she's she's trying to run the Mike Pence play. 1339 01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:05,560 It sounds like. But here's what she actually said. And I haven't 1340 01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:10,239 pre read this, so you know, I don't know. Here's what she 1341 01:49:10,319 --> 01:49:14,680 said. Two things can be true at the same time. One, the 1342 01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:18,640 dj and FBI have lost all credibility with the American people, and getting rid 1343 01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:23,000 of just senior management isn't going to be enough to fix this. This is 1344 01:49:23,039 --> 01:49:27,399 going to take a complete overhaul, and we have to do that too. 1345 01:49:27,800 --> 01:49:31,640 The second thing can also be true if the indictment is true. If what 1346 01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:36,239 it says is actually the case, President Trump was incredibly reckless with our national 1347 01:49:36,279 --> 01:49:41,760 security. More than that, I'm a military spouse. My husband's about to 1348 01:49:41,840 --> 01:49:45,680 deploy this weekend. This puts all of our military men and women in danger. 1349 01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,840 If you're going to talk about what our military is capable of, or 1350 01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:55,640 how we would how we would go about invading or doing something with one of 1351 01:49:55,640 --> 01:50:00,000 our enemies. And if that's the case, it's reckless, it's for US 1352 01:50:00,119 --> 01:50:04,720 rating and it causes problems. Hailey noted that Trump is also under indictment in 1353 01:50:04,760 --> 01:50:08,920 New York on charges of falsifying business records, and is also the subject of 1354 01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:13,399 another criminal investigation in Georgia over his efforts to overturn the twenty twenty election. 1355 01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:15,720 Despite his legal woes, Trump is currently leading the Republican field by more than 1356 01:50:15,760 --> 01:50:19,279 thirty points. Um. Yeah, Georgia should be coming up in a couple 1357 01:50:19,279 --> 01:50:23,600 of months. I think, I think, yeah, this summer. Yeah, 1358 01:50:24,199 --> 01:50:28,119 so then that happens, and we've all heard the phone call, the 1359 01:50:28,199 --> 01:50:31,720 perfect phone call. But so she's she's kind of going to be crazy. 1360 01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:34,760 She's kind of trying to have it both ways, but not in exactly the 1361 01:50:34,800 --> 01:50:39,760 same way that Pence is. Pence Pence does it in a way that's uh, 1362 01:50:40,039 --> 01:50:44,079 Pence Pence just kind of uses a circular logic. What she's saying is, 1363 01:50:44,600 --> 01:50:46,359 yeah, two things gonna be true once. So she's um, she's 1364 01:50:46,399 --> 01:50:50,159 going with the narrative that the DOJ and the FBI have lost all credibility, 1365 01:50:50,239 --> 01:50:56,000 because part of the narrative from the right is that it's these agencies have been 1366 01:50:56,000 --> 01:51:00,000 completely taken over by Democrats, the deep state, which I which I find 1367 01:51:00,159 --> 01:51:00,960 it, well, there is I do believe there is a deep state, 1368 01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:04,479 but I don't think of it in the quite the same way that conservatives think 1369 01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:09,039 of it, and uh, you know, law enforcement tends to skew conservative 1370 01:51:09,079 --> 01:51:12,800 and I have seen zero evidence that that's ever changed. So I think that's 1371 01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:15,800 just a talking point that they pass around and they repeat that, you know, 1372 01:51:15,119 --> 01:51:18,359 Democrats are in charge of everything. Now, I don't believe that's uh 1373 01:51:19,159 --> 01:51:21,840 true. I mean, for one thing, I don't think there would be 1374 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:28,640 an ongoing investigation into Joe Biden over his handling of classified documents, which isn't 1375 01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:31,600 ongoing investigation by the DJ Nor do I think there would be an investigation ongoing 1376 01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:36,239 into Hunter Biden. Did I find any with Jimmy Carter? M Jimmy Carter. 1377 01:51:36,319 --> 01:51:41,920 Did they find anything at his residence or anything? No, not that 1378 01:51:42,039 --> 01:51:44,479 I know of. He's still with us, Yeah, he is, Yeah 1379 01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:47,359 with us? So, um so probably the one that didn't have any paperwork 1380 01:51:47,359 --> 01:51:50,600 at his house. So she's trying to have it both ways that way, 1381 01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:54,760 Yeah, she's she's going with the narrative. But then but she is criticizing 1382 01:51:54,760 --> 01:51:59,920 Trump saying if this is true, and she does lay out unlike Mike Pence, 1383 01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:02,279 who just kind of stumbles and hems, hems and haws his way through 1384 01:52:02,319 --> 01:52:06,359 this stuff because but like I said, he's he sticks with circular logic. 1385 01:52:06,479 --> 01:52:10,680 He should be found guilty. Well, no, she's she's saying, she's 1386 01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:14,159 kind of hedging a little bit because she's saying, if if these allegations are 1387 01:52:14,199 --> 01:52:18,279 true, which by the way, perfectly reasonable, Trump is under our constitution, 1388 01:52:18,359 --> 01:52:21,159 you know, he is innocent until proven guilty, the presumption of innocence. 1389 01:52:21,159 --> 01:52:25,319 We should remember that. But she is saying that if if it is, 1390 01:52:25,399 --> 01:52:29,000 if these are true, then then he was incredibly reckless with our national 1391 01:52:29,039 --> 01:52:35,720 security. And and she gives examples of why it's problematic. So some of 1392 01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:41,079 the information that was in there too involved American assets by name, like people 1393 01:52:41,119 --> 01:52:44,479 who are doing things for our government. That's always bad. Yeah, you 1394 01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:48,039 put you put people's lives in jeopardy, directly in jeopardy by doing that big 1395 01:52:48,079 --> 01:52:53,319 time. It's hideous. It is, it absolutely is. You know what 1396 01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:56,159 What's weird though, is like when you look at Fox News, remember what 1397 01:52:56,199 --> 01:53:00,399 you were talking about this earlier, They'll have her on saying that, and 1398 01:53:00,439 --> 01:53:02,439 then they'll have somebody else on who's going, oh, this is terrible. 1399 01:53:02,520 --> 01:53:08,560 How could he? I'm confused by Fox News, I really am. You're 1400 01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:11,680 not well, different people who go on are gonna have different opinions, but 1401 01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:15,960 I don't I would I would have expected them to not entertain the idea of 1402 01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:20,479 there being any guilt. I was surprised to see that they actually are have 1403 01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:25,159 people on there that are saying it is possible he may be guilty. We 1404 01:53:25,239 --> 01:53:27,319 have a call. We'll have to It'll have to be a quick one. 1405 01:53:27,319 --> 01:53:30,039 We're almost out of the show. Hi, welcome to Matt Connerton. Unleash. 1406 01:53:30,039 --> 01:53:40,960 Who's this? Hello? Hello you, Lucy? So I could hear 1407 01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,960 her? It was Shannon, Oh, but I could barely hear her. 1408 01:53:44,159 --> 01:53:46,039 Oh I could, I could. The volume was so low on her end 1409 01:53:46,119 --> 01:53:50,520 that there no point even trying. So sorry, Shannon. I could hear 1410 01:53:50,560 --> 01:53:55,000 you just well enough to hear your voice, but it was so faint there 1411 01:53:55,039 --> 01:53:58,720 was no where our listeners could have possibly heard. I didn't hear anything at 1412 01:53:58,760 --> 01:54:00,560 all, and I have hearing Aidan well. By the way, Hello to 1413 01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:02,960 my friend Dave Wally in the chat room. I don't think I said hi 1414 01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:06,680 today earlier. He's in there. Um we uh, we are about out 1415 01:54:06,720 --> 01:54:10,159 of time, so we do need to uh, we do need to wrap 1416 01:54:10,279 --> 01:54:13,239 up. Oh, Crystal in the chat Crystal, our friend from Illinois. 1417 01:54:13,239 --> 01:54:15,800 Also in the chat, she said, I think Charles means words like Picnic 1418 01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:18,680 are considered racists these days. Words we never thought anything of. That's my 1419 01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:21,239 guests anyhow, I didn't know that Picnic. I don't know. I don't 1420 01:54:21,279 --> 01:54:25,960 I honestly, I don't know about Picnics. I don't know. Um anyway, 1421 01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:28,239 all right, we do we do need to wrap up, So we're 1422 01:54:28,239 --> 01:54:31,920 gonna finish up with one more song from the band My Life Crisis. If 1423 01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:34,760 you're just joining us. One of the guys I was in that band with 1424 01:54:35,640 --> 01:54:41,000 Ben Brackett York. He has passed away. Uh, so we uh, 1425 01:54:41,039 --> 01:54:45,159 we opened the show. I played some of the music that we did and 1426 01:54:45,439 --> 01:54:49,159 together back in the day and spoke about Ben and I wanted to kind of 1427 01:54:49,680 --> 01:54:53,520 just talk about him a bit. So that's uh, that's how we opened 1428 01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:56,720 up today and we've been playing some of the music. Um. This last 1429 01:54:56,760 --> 01:55:00,359 song that we're going to close with today from that era is a song called 1430 01:55:00,359 --> 01:55:03,159 Malice Femina. But it's uh. I did have to make a radio edit 1431 01:55:03,239 --> 01:55:08,239 of it in order to play it on the show. This song, it 1432 01:55:08,239 --> 01:55:13,199 gets a little Blue, so I had to remove some of the bad words 1433 01:55:13,399 --> 01:55:15,560 to you are very good at doing that. Play Yeah, I'm pretty good 1434 01:55:15,560 --> 01:55:20,159 with making radio edits sou So we will leave with that.
