1 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,160 Hello, everyone, Welcome back to the new episode of You're Wrong with Molly 2 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:26,239 Hemingway and David Harsani. Molly, we have so many things to talk about. 3 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,960 I have a list here. Sometimes we have to search for things, 4 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,359 but not this week. I have a lot to this week. Yes, 5 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,920 I'd like to start, and I'm going to try to lay this out and 6 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,520 you can this issue out and you can correct me or add to it if 7 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,960 you want. But basically, it's this. The President of the United States 8 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,320 has been accused by a trusted FBI source of taking five million dollars in a 9 00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:54,280 bribery scheme with a foreign national while he was vice president. So not he 10 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,920 didn't do it right now, he did it whatever many years ago. We 11 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,439 don't actually know. And this document, we have a document that exists in 12 00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:07,280 the FBI building somewhere, not a document cooked up by some sort of oppo 13 00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:11,200 research firm used, you know, to give to unethical SAPs in the media 14 00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:17,280 to delegitimize an election, but an actual unclassified forget what's called FD ten twenty 15 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,879 three maybe something like that document which informants sign it's under oath, right, 16 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,480 So if you lie on this document, I think it's like if you lie 17 00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:29,159 on this government document, you are you can be prosecuted. I'm not sure 18 00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:32,159 about that. I'd have to look into it. But it's an official document, 19 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,000 and the FBI takes down this information. Now, Molly, I, 20 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,680 this is intensely boring to say, but can you imagine if there was a 21 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,439 document that the FBI had that Donald Trump or Ronda Santis or someone like that 22 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,239 had taken a bribe from you know, it would there would be a thermonuclear 23 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:57,560 meltdown in any event. What's the committee called that House Suminization Committee, House 24 00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:00,400 Weaponization Committee has subpoena the f B. I first, I think just for 25 00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:07,480 the documents, which they were denied. In fact, the FBI, I 26 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:12,159 don't even think acknowledge that the documents existed until like maybe earlier this week, 27 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:23,520 and then subpoena subpoena the FBI itself to bring in Christopher Ray. Right. 28 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,199 So yeah, So basically this is a story that's actually been going on for 29 00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:34,280 close to a year. Chuck Grassley, who's this amazing senator who works with 30 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:38,800 whistleblowers and has a history of doing it across political administrations. His big issue 31 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,759 is protecting whistleblowers. So he's had whistleblowers who said, you know, like 32 00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:52,080 a year ago that there was evidence that the FBI had kind of suppressed involving 33 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,960 the Biden family. And he has done everything slowly and by the book, 34 00:02:58,199 --> 00:03:04,719 and he's working Representative James Comer, who's the chair of this weaponization portion of 35 00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:10,879 the House Activities, and they have been asking very nicely for a document that 36 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,360 they knew existed, and they had the FBI sort of suggesting that they were 37 00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:20,599 making it up, that it didn't exist. And Senator Chuck Grass, they 38 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,000 gave a floor speech yesterday where he talks about all the ways that Christopher Ray 39 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,280 has been obstructing the legitimate constitutional investigation into what the FBI did with this very 40 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:35,120 credible allegation. And he says, you know, they wouldn't even admit it 41 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:38,919 exists it existed until I told him I'd already seen a copy and it was 42 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,400 dated June thirtieth twenty. In other words, like, you're not hiding anything 43 00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:46,919 from me, buddy, I already saw it. I already know what's going 44 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,479 on. But they still need him to turn it over so they could do 45 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,800 proper oversight about what happened. Could I give a little bit of a backstory 46 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:57,599 here, Um, okay, so that's why we're here, Okay. One 47 00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:01,520 of the spins that the FBI was using, working with friendly journalists, the 48 00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:06,599 same Russia collusion journalists they used at CNN and the Washington Post, they said, 49 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:11,360 this is all about Rudy Giuliani, and we all know Rudy Giuliani as 50 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,280 someone you can ignore, So we're just all going to ignore this, okay. 51 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,759 And the reason why they were able to kind of like take a little 52 00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:23,839 kernel of truth and manipulate it into a lie is that back during the first 53 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:31,560 impeachment that Democrats and other nefarious people ran against the Trump administration, it was 54 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:39,519 all related to Ukraine, right, And at heart it was about Donald Trumps 55 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,639 saying that there was corruption involving the Biden family in Ukraine and the regime saying 56 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,720 that wasn't true and in fact, asking about it was the real crime. 57 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,959 And Rudy Giuliani, who was like an associated President Trump's, had all this 58 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:59,519 information about corruption involving Ukraine and Biden, and so the FBI needed to figure 59 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,879 out like what to do with it because he had passed it along to them. 60 00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:08,279 So they had I think the Western District of Pennsylvania was the US Attorney's 61 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,240 office that looked into it. And while they were looking into it, I 62 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,759 think you can go through these FBI systems for search terms and whatnot, they 63 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:28,480 come across the most amazing document from twenty seventeen involving a confidential human source basically 64 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,199 saying there's a bribery scheme. It's like a throwaway line in a larger FD 65 00:05:32,319 --> 00:05:35,560 ten to twenty three, which is like, you know, the FBI's ride 66 00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:41,560 up of their information they're getting from a confidential human source alleging something of a 67 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:50,680 bribery scheme with Joe Biden and a Ukrainian energy company. And they go back 68 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:56,240 to that confidential human source because he's like one of their best. He's very 69 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,839 trustworthy. He's been involved in prosecutions that have been success full, he's been 70 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,839 paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his information, and he's viewed as very 71 00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:10,079 trustworthy. They go back to him and he's like, oh yeah, I'm 72 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,480 saying he. I don't know if it's he or she. Oh yeah, 73 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,839 here's all the details on that. And it's very specific and very detailed, 74 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:24,399 and it's filed on June thirtieth, twenty twenty, and this is the document 75 00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:30,680 that whistleblowers say was filed that we're learning was shared with the Delaware US Attorney 76 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:36,079 Weiss, who's supposedly looking into Biden family corruption, although evidence remains scant that 77 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:44,519 that's actually happening, but that they also allege that when this document was was 78 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,160 filed, and remember it's like the Western District of Pennsylvania that's looking into things, 79 00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:58,680 headquarters works to suppress that information. They claim that this very detailed description 80 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,600 of a very set of political matter involving literally the former vice president of the 81 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:11,680 United States was fully and rigorously investigated and determined to not have any truth four 82 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,879 weeks later, and that's the story that the media, Democrats, and the 83 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,680 FBI are now trying to spin that in fact, yes, there was an 84 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:26,079 allegation, it was thoroughly investigated by people who weren't even in charge of the 85 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,079 investigation into what was going on, and then they decided it wasn't trustworthy, 86 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,120 and they hid all of their reasons for why it wasn't trustworthy behind a wall 87 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:41,279 that only they knew how to get behind. And so we have two scandals 88 00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:46,920 here. One is that there's a very credible allegation of a five million dollar 89 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,240 bribery scheme in exchange for a policy change for Vice President Biden and his family 90 00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:58,639 and in his office. That's a huge scandal, far bigger than all of 91 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,959 the supposed scandals of involving Donald Trump combined, and it actually has evidence to 92 00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:07,439 support it, unlike those other scandals. But you also have the scandal that 93 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,319 the FBI, when they figured this out, worked to suppress that information at 94 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,240 the HQ level so that they could get Joe Biden elected and get their arch 95 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,680 enemy Donald Trump not to be elected. So do you see what I'm saying, 96 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,560 It's like two big scandals here. Well, and Jamie Raskin said the 97 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,200 other day right that the investigation had been closed down by Trump's hand picked prosecutor. 98 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,960 And I guess he was talking about Was he talking about William Barr? 99 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,759 Right? Bill Barr? So what Jamie Raskin said? Okay, So let's 100 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,440 let's will even just do more background here. During the Russia collusion hoax that 101 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,080 the FBI perpetrated against the American people, what would happen is Devin Nunez would 102 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,919 ask for a document, the FBI would claim they had no idea what he 103 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,720 was talking about. He would say I know you need you know, or 104 00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:56,360 he'd asked for information. They'd be like, we've never heard of Christopher Steele. 105 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,399 We've never heard of stuff on Helper. You're a crazy. We're going 106 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,320 to leak against you to the Washington Post to the New York Times. And 107 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,000 he would keep going and keep going, and then you know, the people 108 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,159 would get subpoena it or whatever, and they'd be like, Okay, okay, 109 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,840 okay, you can come over to the FBI in a darkened room for 110 00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:16,159 fifteen minutes and we'll let you like pretend to look at a document, but 111 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,320 you can't talk about it. He can't do anything, you know. He'd 112 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,679 be like fighting them on that. And then a few months later they're like, 113 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,720 okay, we'll come over to the Hill and we'll let you and one 114 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,279 other person and Adam Schiff and one other person take a look at this, 115 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:31,159 and then we'll lie about what we showed you and we'll leak. You know. 116 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,320 It was just like game playing after game playing after game playing, and 117 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:39,960 so Grassley and Comber have been asking for this document. First they deny it 118 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,720 exists, or they like basically saying, you're crazy. We don't know what 119 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,200 you're talking about. Grassle says, I've seen the document June thirtieth that helps 120 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,120 you find it, And so they subpoena it and finally they like get the 121 00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:56,279 document to be seen in one of these dark rooms for fifteen minutes with a 122 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,039 briefing from the FBI. The FBI tries its spin, saying, don't worry, 123 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,600 this is just Giuliani related. We did everything on the up and up. 124 00:10:03,639 --> 00:10:05,159 You know, you can trust us because we've got nothing but a track 125 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,919 record of trustworthiness when it comes to politicized investigations. So they come out of 126 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:16,200 this meeting, Jamie Raskin says, here's what I learned. I learned that 127 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,440 this was related to Rudy Giuliani, which is a lie. That's not true. 128 00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:22,320 It's just completely not true. I mean, it is true that it 129 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,919 was the Giuliani related investigation that led them to find this twenty seventeen document, 130 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,679 but it's not true that the twenty seventeen document was a Rudy Giuliani product, 131 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,600 or that the decision to go back. Can I ask a quick question, 132 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:43,320 So the initial form, the initial claim, when was that first officially made 133 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,240 by a whistleblower written down, Does it go back to twenty seventeen, does 134 00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:50,120 it go all the way back to two thousand and you know, when it 135 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:52,679 was twelve or whatever. So the first time the FBI learns that there's an 136 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:58,159 allegation of a criminal bribery scheme for five million dollars from a Ukrainian energy company 137 00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:03,000 and to Joe Biden is in twenty seventeen. Well, it's like a it's 138 00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:07,000 an oblique mention, but it wasn't actually what they were looking into with that 139 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,039 confidential human source at that moment. So that ten twenty three is actually about 140 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,519 other stuff, and I have a theory about what that is, but I 141 00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:18,679 don't know if I'm ready to go public with them. But then when they're 142 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,200 reviewing their files, they come across us and they're like, wait, this 143 00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:26,879 is weird. This claim from twenty seventeen, this throwaway line in a larger 144 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,639 FD ten twenty three about other stuff kind of seems like something we should look 145 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,799 into about the Biden family. So they go back to the confidential human source 146 00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:41,519 and that's where they get this like really detailed, very length the extremely descriptive 147 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:48,080 FD twenty three alleging pay for play involving Joe Joe Biden and the Ukrainian Energy 148 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,679 Concern. Okay, so that's twenty seventeen, and that's twenty s predates Giuliani 149 00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:58,879 bringing it to them. They go back in twenty twenty. In June of 150 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,559 twenty twenty, which is after Giuliani had had given the FBI his branch of 151 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,000 documents, ask another question. Wait, I was like talking about something. 152 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:15,080 So Jamie Raskin comes out and he goes, here's what I learned. It's 153 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,200 Giuliani related, which is not true. And also what I learned is that 154 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,759 Bill Barr hand picked someone to look into this allegation. Oh my gosh, 155 00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:28,000 I'm forgetting that guy's name. It's Steve, Steve something. He was the 156 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,440 US attorney. It was reported in the Washington Post to the US Attorney for 157 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,679 the Western District of Pennsylvania, and that guy thoroughly looked into it and he 158 00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:41,399 closed it and there was nothing there. Now, I think Jamie Raskin has 159 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,919 since walked away from those statements, which is good because they're false. It 160 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:50,799 is not true that Bill Barr authorized and this. Oh my gosh, can 161 00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:54,159 you look up Steve's name because I can't get his last name. I just 162 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:56,200 don't as the US Attorney from the Western District of Pennsylvania. It's in the 163 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:05,360 Washington Post story yesterday that he closed this thing. Well, Margot Cleveland and 164 00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:09,399 I have been reporting on and by the way, also my husband Mark Hemingway, 165 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:15,480 have been reporting on Biden family business issues, including alleged corruption, for 166 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,200 years upon years upon years, and so we've talked with a lot of people 167 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,120 who are kind of familiar with the various investigations. So investigations took place in 168 00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:26,080 the Western District of Pennsylvania, the Southern District of New York, the Eastern 169 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,120 District of New York, the Maryland Field office of the Delaware Investigation, and 170 00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,039 other places. So there are a lot of people who are looking into it. 171 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,559 And one of the things that you always hear is that they found a 172 00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:39,840 lot of really big stuff, the type of stuff that would have I remember 173 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120 one person said, if any single one of the things that I had found 174 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,720 had been found about like a Reagan type person, there already would have been 175 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,799 a special council. Right, So, all these offices are reporting that they're 176 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,440 finding all this stuff, but when they turn it over to headquarters to get 177 00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:00,240 over to the US Attorney in Delaware. It just dies. It just dies. 178 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,000 So an outside non DC office interviews this confidential human source. When they 179 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000 try to get it to the Delaware office, it suddenly gets ruled that it's 180 00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:15,320 like actually not worth looking into. The source gets closed or you know, 181 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:24,320 that aspect of it gets closed, and and they claim that this was signed 182 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,399 off on by Bill Barr. Now exclusively at the Federalist on the front page 183 00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:33,519 today, you can read the story by Margo Cleveland with quotes from on the 184 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:39,639 record individuals, including Bill Barr, saying that's a lie. That's not true, 185 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,960 that they never authorized the closure of this allegation. Far from it, 186 00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:48,720 they actually sent it to the Delaware US Attorney's office. It's kind of big 187 00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:56,320 news. Yeah, I mean, listen, we don't I at least I 188 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,000 am. I am always skeptical that's the news world turn out to be as 189 00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:03,600 big as as maybe some people hope. But I do have a quick question 190 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,960 for you that I want to ask before that raises alarms for me about this. 191 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,080 In some sense, is that in twenty seventeen, listen, a vice 192 00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:16,799 president being part of a bribery scheme with a foreign national is a huge, 193 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,320 huge fuel. Why is it a throwaway line. It was a Democrat vice 194 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:28,879 president, I realized, So it's just a throwaway line. It seems that, 195 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,919 you know, it's the kind of thing I don't know because I haven't 196 00:15:33,679 --> 00:15:35,240 don't I don't have a I have a lot of knowledge of this based on 197 00:15:35,279 --> 00:15:39,240 what other people have seen, but I'm not sure they'd like to see it 198 00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:43,559 in context that twenty seventeen thing and then also the greater description in twenty twenty. 199 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:46,200 But think of it this way. You've got agents, maybe they're investigating 200 00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:54,399 an international conspiracy to commit fraud that involves nobody related to the Democrat Party, 201 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,799 Joe Biden or anything like that, and you're interviewing your confidential human source about 202 00:15:58,799 --> 00:16:03,440 this international conspiracy, and if it's the one I'm thinking of, by the 203 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,240 way, it did lead to convictions and it had nothing to do I don't 204 00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:11,759 think with like any political US domestic stuff. And the guy kind of says 205 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:15,759 something about Joe Biden. You might write it down, you might want to 206 00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:18,440 put it in there, and you might even think, like, I hope 207 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,240 someone sees this, but it's really not your it's really not your investigation. 208 00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:25,039 You're dealing with some foreign country, which, by the way, I don't 209 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:30,639 think was Ukraine in that situation. And it's just a throwaway line, and 210 00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:33,720 it's like, maybe someone should look into that if they're already looking into something 211 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,080 else, but it's not your problem necessarily when they go back and they get 212 00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:41,879 much greater details. And by the way, I've heard that one of the 213 00:16:41,919 --> 00:16:45,320 things that was said when they went back to this source sort of like you 214 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,080 know, and he's unprepared, like laying out the precise nature of the criminal 215 00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:53,279 scheme. He made an allegation that there would be the plan back in the 216 00:16:53,360 --> 00:17:00,279 day I don't know you from when President Obama was in office, was that 217 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:07,599 the Biden family would create a shell company or a shell foundation to accept the 218 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,079 funds from this Ukrainian energy concern. And when they go back in twenty twenty, 219 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,880 it turns out there had been such a shell foundation or shell company that 220 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,839 was created to receive these funds. So it's not just an allegation, it's 221 00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:26,960 like an allegation that has some already, you know, without even the FBI 222 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,680 looking into it at all, already has some supporting. Well, there is 223 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,319 a ton of circumstantial evidence out there that Biden took I don't not bribe money, 224 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,240 but definitely took money from the family business. There are people on the 225 00:17:37,279 --> 00:17:42,279 record, you know, I mean, there's a ton out there. So 226 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:48,000 it is plausible certainly that you know that he was involved in some kind of 227 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,039 business like this. But the idea that we wouldn't know where the media shows. 228 00:17:52,319 --> 00:17:55,960 Not only do they show zero curiosity curiosity about it, they're out there 229 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,200 doing what they did to Devin Nunez, right, They're out there sort of 230 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,440 cut the legs out of from under people who are bringing this forward or what 231 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,119 they did with the Hunter bind laptop story. They're trying to sort of blow 232 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,279 smoke and gaslight people into thinking that this is, you know, just some 233 00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:14,240 conspiracy theory from Morning Joe, but also regular you know, every day so 234 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,640 cold reporters. There were two things that I was thinking of just now, 235 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,240 and both of them went away. I do that to you all the time. 236 00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:26,880 I just let you finish up. Sorry, but okay, I know 237 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,440 one of them was that the Washington Post. So the Washington Posts. Devlin 238 00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:37,920 Barrett was one of three authors on a piece saying don't worry, there's nothing 239 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,079 to be concerned about with this document alleging a five million dollar criminal bribery scheme 240 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:45,799 involving the current president. You cannot worry your pretty little heads about it. 241 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,160 The FBI spent not one, not two, not three, but like four 242 00:18:51,279 --> 00:18:55,640 weeks looking into it, and they won't substantiate that in any way. But 243 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,759 we trust them because they're very trustworthy organization. And it turns out there was 244 00:18:59,839 --> 00:19:03,559 no them there, So we can move along now. And yes, this 245 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:10,359 is a prime example of a Russia colusion hoax style leak to allies at the 246 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,759 Washington Post. Deviln Barrett, by the way, one a Pulitzer for being 247 00:19:14,839 --> 00:19:18,359 willing to cooperate with the information op perpetrated against the American people and not doing 248 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:23,279 actual journalism to expose it in the Russia collusion hoax. So you take that 249 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,200 kernel of truth, which is that you know, there are these two agents 250 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:33,000 that whistleblowers have identified, or an agent and an analyst that whistleblowers have identified 251 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:38,920 as being politically corrupted and behaving inappropriately, and the claims made by these whistleblowers 252 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,200 is that one of them, Tim Tebow, had openly expressed his animals toward 253 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,319 Donald Trump and Attorney General bar and was not just peddling like Russia colusion hoax 254 00:19:48,319 --> 00:19:52,799 stuff, but also working to suppress Biden investigations. The other one, Brian 255 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:59,960 Oughton, was an intelligence analyst, definite Russia collusion hoaxer, and also worked 256 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,160 to suppress He was the one who closed this confidential human source. He was 257 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,599 not the person like who actually should have been doing that. The investigation was 258 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,440 taking place at a different you know, at the Western District of Pennsylvania. 259 00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:18,359 So the claim is from the whistleblowers. Yeah, FBI HQ inappropriately closed this 260 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,079 and then hid their reasons why behind a wall. So the Washington Post woids 261 00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:27,640 a whole piece saying basically Washington HQ. I mean, they're not admitting that 262 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,880 it's HQ. There's all this like slight of hand and Pattempken journalism as you 263 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,680 say, where they sort of say this guy at the Western District of Pennsylvania 264 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:40,880 was looking into it, and Attorney General Bill Barr was the current attorney general, 265 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:44,480 so they're kind of the ones responsible. They don't mention that it was 266 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:51,200 HQ that was squashing this inappropriately, which is the allegation all along from the 267 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,559 whistleblowers. But they do all this like slight of hand to make it not 268 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:00,640 seem actually is I don't know. A friend of the show for Bump says 269 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,200 that the Brimbary allegations are I don't a very shaky limb. He has a 270 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,960 whole piece on it. So have I talked to you about how Philip Bump 271 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,160 doesn't know how babies are made? Yes? I love that you mentioned that. 272 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,279 Every time. He literally doesn't understand how babies are made, and it 273 00:21:14,319 --> 00:21:17,880 cracks me up beyond belief. He wrote a whole piece about how when Marco 274 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:23,079 Rubio said life began at conception that actually a lot of people think it happened 275 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,319 some other magical way. I love that, dude. It's like his Gaza 276 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,559 Bridge piece. For us, it's still not corrected, like years later, 277 00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:37,480 you know, speaking if we can move forward, I think this is a 278 00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:42,000 huge story. You know. I should mention actually that it is weird, 279 00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:45,400 is it not? That when the January sixth Committee puts out subpoenas, people 280 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:52,880 are handcuffed and dragged in to speak about to talk to Congress. But when 281 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,400 a Republican Congress does it just ignored, like like Eric Holder ignored Congress, 282 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,599 you know, and contempt charge. What does that mean? It doesn't mean 283 00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:03,839 anything. There's no bite to it. No one's going to arrest the FBI 284 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,519 director. I don't know. It's kind of weird because like, if the 285 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:14,880 facts as we know them are real, you basically should probably be starting impeachment 286 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,680 proceedings, not just for Biden, but also for Ray. And then you 287 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,359 know, maybe you put like Garland in there too. You have to listen 288 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,400 to Chuck Grassley's speech from the floor yesterday. He was on fire. He 289 00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:30,440 was going after Ray. He was talking about how he was obstructing the investigation, 290 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,160 how you know he was not willing to admit that this existed. And 291 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,480 then he calls him out for leaking to other entities. He specifically knows the 292 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,319 New York Times, which ran an anti whistleblower hit piece on behalf of Tim 293 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:52,960 Tebow on May eighteenth. He like sites that May eighteenth story, and he's 294 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,160 like, instead of leaking classified information to the media every day like you do 295 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,559 all the time, Christopher Ray, how about you actually, like just comply 296 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,039 with the constitutional oversight that is required of you. It was awesome, but 297 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,960 has to keep something. He has to keep going. I will can I 298 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:17,200 change the topic sort of to Hunter Biden for a second, not as exciting. 299 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,319 I have to admit, but um the other days it's the other day. 300 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,119 The ATF, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Farms and Explosives sent 301 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,880 out a warning to the people of Minnesota, who had just passed a bill 302 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,759 legalizing marijuana, that though they have legalized marijuana, they people who smoke marijuana 303 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:45,200 can still are still federally thought of as unlawful users and cannot cannot get firearms, 304 00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:49,319 meaning when they fill out their background forms, they if it asks you 305 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,440 do you do drugs, you cannot have one. So it is just mind 306 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:59,680 boggling to me, and I'll get to Hunter Biden in a second that pot 307 00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:03,559 is a Schedule one narcotic. It is illegal to legalize it anywhere in the 308 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:10,000 country when you'd legalize drugs, and minnesodare actually ignoring federal law. The federal 309 00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:14,759 government ignores federal law and lets people do it except for this one line within 310 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,559 federal law that says you can have a gun. It is complete lawlessness. 311 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:22,920 It is authoritarian to take parts of laws that you like, you know, 312 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,960 use it for political purposes, and ignore the rest. But there have been 313 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:33,319 many cases recently where courts have founded unconstitutional to deny someone a gun simply because 314 00:24:33,319 --> 00:24:37,359 they use drugs. First of all, asking someone if they use drugs before 315 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,319 allowing them to participate in a right is undermines not only the right, but 316 00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:45,720 the Fifth Amendment, which says you don't have any reason to incriminate yourself ahead 317 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,359 of time. But yet we have this law. And to get to Hunter 318 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,759 Biden, he is being investigated supposedly for lying on his background check form because 319 00:24:56,319 --> 00:25:00,720 you know, it'd ask you if you do drugs. And in his touching 320 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,680 autobiography, Beautiful Things Hunter Biden admit is that he admitted that he was doing 321 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,119 smoking crack every fifteen minutes during the time that he got this gun. But 322 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,279 he has not been indicted yet on that, you know, and how are 323 00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:14,960 you going to prove he was actually doing crack? You can't really do that. 324 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:19,240 But I hope and pray that this case moves forward that he is indicted, 325 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:25,039 because I think it will help completely undermine the what's it called the nineteen 326 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,559 sixty eight gun control law because that doesn't allow people who drink or do you 327 00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:32,960 know, or smoke pot to get guns. I think they should be able 328 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,759 to so anyway, wouldn't be awesome if like one of the seminal gun rights 329 00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:41,640 cases at this time was called like Biden versus atf Yes, Yes, yes. 330 00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:45,839 Biden called the recent decision on guns like unconstitutional brands. So, you 331 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,319 know, I would like to mention Amy Coney Barrett, when she was a 332 00:25:49,319 --> 00:25:56,359 federal judge, had a dissenting opinion that was really interesting on gun rights. 333 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,119 You have got to read it if you haven't yet, David. But it 334 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,359 involved someone who was ruled of felon because he had, like you know, 335 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:10,480 many years prior he'd be he'd been convicted of some kind of not scam, 336 00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:15,440 but like he had been selling foot inserts and getting Medicaid reimbursements, so not 337 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,680 like the certainly not a violent crime, but not the worst crime in the 338 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,079 world. But he had been ruled a felon and he was challenging whether that 339 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:29,319 meant that he could no longer ever defend himself with a gun, and he 340 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,680 lost the case. But Amy Coney Barrett wrote a really good originalist dissent talking 341 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,680 about how what the founders would have thought about this situation, and basically it 342 00:26:38,759 --> 00:26:41,839 was like, there's no way in h double hockey sticks he would have been 343 00:26:41,839 --> 00:26:48,359 denied the right to keep in bear arms. Just yesterday I believe a case 344 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:56,519 from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the Pennsylvania government from barring a man 345 00:26:56,559 --> 00:27:00,880 from having guns over a fraud conviction that was thirty years ago. He lied 346 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,200 to get food stamps. Now, can you imagine we have a government that 347 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,759 let's murderers walk. You know, I don't want to sound like I'm a 348 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,079 nut, but if you look in New York, there are people who have 349 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,920 been involved in violent crimes or back on the street very quickly, but yet 350 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,000 go after people who have committed non violent crimes thirty years ago to deny them 351 00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:21,119 their Second Amendment rights. There is nothing and I've written a book about this 352 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,039 if anyone wants to debate me on it. There is no historical standard to 353 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:32,279 deny the people their rights simply because they have engaged in some kind of non 354 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:37,000 violent criminality during you know, the Biden administration has made the case and they've 355 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,599 come up with a seventeenth century law that stopped like violent drunks from having guns 356 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:48,960 and hurting their wives. But there is no historical precedent for that. And 357 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,160 hopefully all this leads to the Supreme Court that overturns sixty eight law let's move 358 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,519 on. I think gun rights cases I've been doing well. I got to 359 00:27:56,559 --> 00:27:59,599 say, over the last ten years. You know what I mean. This 360 00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:03,000 one of the constitutional amendments that has been winning other than the first in others. 361 00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:07,839 But let us talk. I want to talk about journalism again and how 362 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,119 terrible it is and how we don't have it in this country. There was 363 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,960 a really interesting story I thought, and I'm sure you'll have a lot to 364 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,920 say on it. I think it was in the New York Times. Well 365 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:21,480 done. Do you see that? By the way, see what yes, 366 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,400 Oh my gosh, what happened? That's from when the raccoon attacked me without 367 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,200 touching me and I got totally beat up. I also have I don't know 368 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,480 if you can see it, but I have like rash on my forehead and 369 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,279 my nose is all bruised. All right, let's just put what I was 370 00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:40,640 going to talk to to this. I want to raccoon, what raccoon? 371 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,640 Are you? What happened? This? Like vicious, awful raccoon, all 372 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,759 of them? When after my oldest kid and I went out to kind of 373 00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:53,960 like assess the situation, and it just came for me and just kept coming 374 00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,359 for me. Like I was trying to kind of like signal not to do 375 00:28:57,519 --> 00:29:03,480 that, but it came after me, and I was running around my yard 376 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:07,039 flailing like arms flailing. I was screaming like a little girl. And then 377 00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:15,279 I face planted into the curb and I am like head to toe beat up 378 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:21,440 with like cuts and bruises everywhere. I'm like walking with a limp. It's 379 00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:26,839 embarrassing. The raccoon never till this happened during the day. Yeah, yesterday, 380 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:32,880 during the day, raccoon also went after also went after Mark, also 381 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,119 went after another kid. He's been named He's been named by one of the 382 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:42,000 kids Lucifer because of his really evil nature. Sorry, let's talk about Chris 383 00:29:42,079 --> 00:29:47,359 licht had. I had a similar situation with a humming bird recently back. 384 00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:51,359 Those things die of bomb me all the time. I put food out for 385 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,160 them. Okay, wait, what happened? I thought you were going to 386 00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:00,880 touch you. Go out there and these little bastards they dia bomb you to 387 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,240 go right near your ear. They like to try to attack you. They're 388 00:30:03,319 --> 00:30:08,599 really really, you know that, really bad personalities. A fan, Sean 389 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:15,000 Davis Arcio was saying that he had shot an armadillo that then proceeded to charge 390 00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:18,759 him, and he said that, you know, he had a gun in 391 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,799 his hand and yet was still running around like terrified of this armadillo. It's 392 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:26,160 just weird. Like they're small, so you don't think you need to be 393 00:30:26,359 --> 00:30:30,319 so afraid of these. But wild animals are jerks. Yeah, pretty much, 394 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,480 pretty much except for owls. They're magnificent. You know, also are 395 00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:41,119 jerks. The people at CNN who ousted the only person who was doing anything 396 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,880 worthwhile at CNN, Chris Lecht, who was trying it, is like, 397 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,920 I'm sorry, it's so funny to me. He's brought in to deal with 398 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:55,640 a news organization quote unquote news organization that is destroyed it's once not bad reputation 399 00:30:56,359 --> 00:31:00,279 through absolute insanity. And he's like, I have an idea, what if 400 00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,680 we kind of tried to sort of pretend to be a news network and everybody 401 00:31:03,799 --> 00:31:07,079 was like, we will murder you if you try to make us do any 402 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:14,160 news. And he's out now, well, there was a there's a feature 403 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:22,839 story in the Atlantic where he basically the whole piece is basically just him explaining 404 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,240 how terrible CNN. It's how terrible everyone who works at CNN is basically which 405 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:32,440 of which he is correct. And I think that then because of that piece 406 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,519 in the Atlantic feature story in the Atlantic, he had lost the trust of 407 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,279 the employees, Like why are you letting him no offense? But why are 408 00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:42,440 you letting these employees who have failed you and over and over again run the 409 00:31:42,599 --> 00:31:45,640 place? I mean, this is like ridicious. Just by way of example, 410 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:53,400 he decides to have a town hall with the leading Republican presidential contender and 411 00:31:53,839 --> 00:31:59,000 former President of the United States, Donald Trump, the type of get that 412 00:31:59,079 --> 00:32:01,839 if you were a legitimate news organization would be like the biggest get of the 413 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,640 year. And his staff rebels because they because they they're Democrat activists. They 414 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,799 were like really upset also because it went really well for Trump and it was 415 00:32:12,079 --> 00:32:15,000 like it was like exactly what his campaign needed to sort of like reminder of 416 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,960 why he's good in that type of scene. And the staff rebelled against Chris 417 00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:24,759 Lecht, and one of them was Christiane Amanpour, who's like, you can't 418 00:32:25,119 --> 00:32:32,720 allow Republicans to speak on air. This is a woman who routinely interviews Iranian 419 00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:39,200 leaders who are like killing their people. She has no problem with platforming those 420 00:32:39,279 --> 00:32:44,599 people. But if you platform like the guy who helped peace peace agreements breakout 421 00:32:44,599 --> 00:32:46,119 all over the world. Well, that's when you've gone too far. And 422 00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:50,920 yet she won. She got rid of Chris Lecht. Chris Lockt is gone. 423 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,519 If that's how you say his name, I think so. Yeah. 424 00:32:53,559 --> 00:32:57,359 I mean I love when I read. I don't want to pick on you 425 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,519 know, you read like well, Jake Tappers, really you know about this 426 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,680 or whatever? These people lose in the ratings game, and this is what 427 00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:07,200 it's about for them, right. I'm not saying that just because you get 428 00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:09,880 high ratings you're smarter or anything like that, but this is the game they're 429 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:16,319 in. Who gets beat by like Nature shows on National Geographic in the ratings 430 00:33:16,839 --> 00:33:22,039 dictating where this network's supposed to go. Okay, even more than that, 431 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:28,920 Jake Tapper was with Evan Perez, Jim Shudo, and Carl Bernstein, a 432 00:33:29,079 --> 00:33:35,079 co author of the original Russia collusion hoax story, a story that CNN obsessed 433 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:42,759 over for years and led to the destruction of the network because nobody trusts what 434 00:33:42,839 --> 00:33:45,839 they said because they went so crazy. I mean, they did succeed in 435 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,319 their operation. I was just seeing, like last year, the vast, 436 00:33:50,519 --> 00:33:53,599 vast majority of Democrats still believe the Russia collusion hoax, even though it's been 437 00:33:54,279 --> 00:33:59,480 soundly and routinely debunked for years. But yeah, Jake Tapper is not who 438 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:04,000 I'd go to for news guidance, given that he's just a willing receptacle and 439 00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:08,159 regurgitator of information operations. Yeah, and I just I don't mean just him 440 00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:13,639 that there are obviously other names there who who are upset by by all this. 441 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,440 But I don't know, I don't care. I mean, there's a 442 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,880 bunch of schadenfreud in me about CNN failing, because I think they actually are 443 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,280 are really destructive for the country in many ways, not beyond a kind of 444 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:31,000 bias, but in an active as active conspiracy theorists in this world and anyway. 445 00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:37,320 So, but so speaking of a bad journalism or dying journalism, and 446 00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:42,320 journalism really exists, you know, in media in the way it should Immediatlet's 447 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,440 let's talk about this story. Well, I guess I don't know. I 448 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,559 guess I got to give him some credit, right the New York Times as 449 00:34:45,599 --> 00:34:50,719 a story the other day, here's the headline, Nazi symbols on Ukrainian front 450 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,079 lines highlights the thorny issues of history. Because you know when certain people wear 451 00:34:54,239 --> 00:35:00,239 Nazi emblems, it gets really complicated. It's very complex. You have to 452 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,760 understand, and honestly, I agree it is complex because you have people, 453 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,360 I think in europe An Americans sometimes don't understand take history farm or seriously, 454 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:14,039 and take their country's histories farm or seriously, going back to the Middle Ages 455 00:35:14,119 --> 00:35:22,440 sometimes when they're talking and fighting in wars or debating issues. So many Ukrainians 456 00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:25,119 hated the Soviet Union. They were pro Nazi, one of the most anti 457 00:35:25,159 --> 00:35:29,800 submitted countries there was for many, many years. And some of their guys 458 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:36,000 walk around with Nazi emblems on their uniforms, and The New York Times spends 459 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,880 a few thousand words telling us why that's okay and it's okay not to report 460 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:45,039 it. They literally have reporters taking asking them to take off the Nazi emblem 461 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:50,639 before taking pictures of them. Is that journalistic molly? Is that ethically? 462 00:35:51,079 --> 00:35:53,800 Is that an ethical thing for journalists to do so? There have been multiple 463 00:35:53,880 --> 00:36:01,119 stories written recently about how Ukrainian authorities help create the propaganda that we've seen about 464 00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:05,760 what's going on. And one of the things I find frustrating is someone who's 465 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,599 interested and upset by this war. Is like nobody has any idea what's going 466 00:36:10,639 --> 00:36:15,360 on. You certainly don't learn what's going on by reading the newspaper or watching 467 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:22,000 the TV about the Ukraine War because it's so completely untrustworthy. But yeah, 468 00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:27,119 there have been like a couple of different stories out about how so For instance, 469 00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:30,920 I think it was CBS News did a piece about how these Russian occupied 470 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,920 regions the people in them view themselves as Russian. And it's very much counter 471 00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:40,760 to the narrative that the West is saying that these are like the most vulnerable 472 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,559 victims, that it is incumbent upon the West to liberate these people from Russian 473 00:36:45,639 --> 00:36:49,960 rule. And if they actually think as themselves as Russian, that you know, 474 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,320 it's just it's against that narrative. It's complicated, it's complex. As 475 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:58,960 the New York Day. By the way, I noted so that I was 476 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,840 reading that May at New York Times article that Grassley said revealed classified information. 477 00:37:04,039 --> 00:37:07,440 It was a little tricky because I wasn't sure exactly what was the classified portion 478 00:37:07,519 --> 00:37:09,079 that was in there. But one of the things is is talking It's like 479 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,719 the whole point of the piece by Adam Goldman noted Russia coclusion hoax or Adam 480 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:20,239 Goldman is to run defense for this Tim Tebow agent, and he's a difficult 481 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,039 person to run defense for. He's like out there on Facebook being like I'll 482 00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:28,559 do anything to come after Donald Droll, you know. So he's like really 483 00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:34,199 out there about his political views, and he is at the center of a 484 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:37,960 bunch of suspicious things like the shutting down of Biden family investigations. And then 485 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,519 Adam Goldman writes, the truth is more complicated than it would seem with these 486 00:37:43,639 --> 00:37:46,800 facts that the Whistle clovers, and then like the New York Times with the 487 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:54,360 Nazi symbol and imagery, so like they can invent white supremacy in a like 488 00:37:54,679 --> 00:38:00,559 Latino shooter who doesn't speak English. But when it comes to like Nazi regalia 489 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,239 all over the place in Ukraine, they're like, it's actually more complicated, 490 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,719 and it just cracks me up when things are complicated, and when they're not. 491 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:14,119 This is on every issue, it'll be like, hey, you know, 492 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,559 I think George Soros is kind of a jerk. You know that the 493 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:22,239 anti Semitism, it's right there so clear, dog Whistle, I want the 494 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,079 Jews to be dead, And they're like well, it's a kind of complicated 495 00:38:25,159 --> 00:38:29,079 thing she's talking about here, but wearing a swastik. Oh, well, 496 00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:31,280 you know, it's kind of thorny when you really delve deeply into it. 497 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:36,559 But what I love about these articles is they're always like in Vladimir Zelenski, 498 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,800 who is Jewish, says, you know, like listen, he's Jewish when 499 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,840 it works for him, and he's not Jewish when it doesn't work for him. 500 00:38:44,199 --> 00:38:47,360 It's very complicated. I get it. But what bothers me about this? 501 00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:50,679 And Oh, I wanted to quickly say, you hit on something that 502 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,480 really I've been thinking about a lot lately. I don't know what's going on 503 00:38:52,639 --> 00:38:59,599 there in this Ukrainian Russian war that's being waged on the European mainland, which 504 00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:02,719 is because we are in the we are in twenty twenty three. I know 505 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:07,880 about them. I know about every shooting in the United States that happens, 506 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,559 you know, right away, I get one hundred it's about it and everything. 507 00:39:10,599 --> 00:39:15,639 But I don't know anything about a major war happening on the European continent. 508 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:22,119 It is, it's just part of the failures of journalism. Were reporting. 509 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,679 Yeah, this rhythm of reporting on the conflict. So something will happen 510 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,559 and you'll think that sounds like Ukraine did that, and then all the talking 511 00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:35,079 heads come out and they go, no, actually it was Vladimir Putin who 512 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,599 bombed the Nordstream pipeline. And then a few months later the New York Times 513 00:39:38,679 --> 00:39:44,360 will like massage a piece saying, so it turns out that as we As 514 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,880 was like reasonable to Shamas on day one, Well, it turns out the 515 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:52,079 Ukrainians were the ones who bombed the Nordstream pipeline. And so yesterday you had 516 00:39:52,159 --> 00:40:00,440 this breach of a damn that floods the Russian controlled regions of Ukraine. And 517 00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:06,000 you'd had multiple stories in the months leading up to this bombing of this dam 518 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,280 that Ukrainians wanted to bomb the dam for strategic reasons, that they had been 519 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:15,480 caught like planning the bombing of the dam. And then also like just from 520 00:40:15,519 --> 00:40:21,239 a qui bono perspective, it's the type of thing that seems to benefit Ukrainians. 521 00:40:21,559 --> 00:40:25,719 On the other hand, you had voldemere Zelenski saying like, can you 522 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,360 believe that Putin personally bombed this dam? And you had other people on the 523 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:36,320 Ukraine side saying like wow, these Russians are horrible. This is like basically 524 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,239 a nuclear strike on our country. And so the media of course ran with 525 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,599 the it was Russia narrative, and I am just like waiting for a few 526 00:40:45,679 --> 00:40:49,679 days or weeks until we until we get the like New York Times reports saying, 527 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,559 well, it turns out in Intel officials in the US say it was 528 00:40:52,679 --> 00:40:57,519 in fact Ukraine who bombed this damn. But like you have to kind of 529 00:40:57,599 --> 00:41:02,599 read everything or watch everything as if you are reading Pravda in nineteen eighty two 530 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:07,039 Soviet Union. You can't actually just take what's said. You have to like 531 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,880 reinterpret it through this prism. Yeah, there's there's too much cheerleading going on 532 00:41:12,039 --> 00:41:14,960 in news stores. Too much. It's almost always cheerleading. You know, 533 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,320 who's not allowed to have thorny complex views on stuff, me or you or 534 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,599 anyone else about this war because when I say something like people are like, 535 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:28,159 excuse me, being like a paleokon, which is ridiculous because there's only neocons. 536 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:36,159 Don't know you exactly. Now, this license plate says I hate paleocons, 537 00:41:36,199 --> 00:41:40,599 just so you know. So I have thorny complicated thoughts on this because 538 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:45,599 if this were if Putin had invaded Poland or the Czech Republic, I would 539 00:41:45,639 --> 00:41:50,679 be like, everyone who is pro Ukraine would probably have a Polish flag out 540 00:41:50,679 --> 00:41:52,199 there. Do what I'm saying, Like, my view would be different. 541 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,800 But my view of Ukraine is very different than my view of Czech Republic or 542 00:41:55,920 --> 00:42:00,639 Hungary or another country because it is complicated. But we're not allowed to even 543 00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:04,639 talk about that. If I mentioned something negative about Ukraine, I'm immediately accused 544 00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:07,639 of being a Putin stooge or whatever, which is ridiculous, right, So 545 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:14,599 I don't know. So it's only thorny and complicated when they have something that 546 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,039 is thorny and complicated to explain and also to me. You know, there's 547 00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:22,000 all this talk recently about how women have taken over society, you know, 548 00:42:22,079 --> 00:42:30,800 the long House kind of theories about like female forms of like dispute resolution are 549 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,559 dominant and that like male forms are suppressed. There is this weird thing about 550 00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:39,599 the war between Ukraine and Russia where a it seems like Russia's doing a pretty 551 00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:45,079 traditional like we will throw bodies at this problem kind of war, but then 552 00:42:45,159 --> 00:42:50,159 the propaganda response from the West is very much like if we just say things 553 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,559 are going, well, we'll convince everybody. It reminds me of like female 554 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:59,400 dispute resolution, where you sort of build up like imagery to sort of protect 555 00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:06,039 you know, you don't use actual weapons of war. You use like conversation, 556 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,639 um. And they think like we can, we can converse our way 557 00:43:08,679 --> 00:43:13,840 out of this conflict. As you'll read, you'll read about how you know, 558 00:43:14,199 --> 00:43:19,159 when it comes to actual battles, the traditional metric by which we judge 559 00:43:19,199 --> 00:43:21,559 who's winning a war. Yeah, Russia is doing pretty well. But when 560 00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,280 it comes to the propaganda, we are for rushing it um. And I 561 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:28,239 do agree we are, and I think propaganda is a big part of war 562 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,760 efforts. We are crushing hunger game style the propaganda portion of this. But 563 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,039 it doesn't Yeah, yeah, no, I just I agree. I mean 564 00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:39,800 I'm reading this stuff and I'm like, a damn was just blown up? 565 00:43:40,079 --> 00:43:45,840 So whutin did it? Or the Ukrainians that it is some sort of I 566 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:51,440 don't know, self sabotage for propaganda reason whatever reasons, or the Russians did 567 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,360 it. Could be the Russians did it. Yeah, we do not anyone 568 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:58,599 is anyone like this. This seems like a pretty big escalation right here. 569 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,679 Like this could really turn into something bigger. This could you know, we 570 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,239 have now people if self sabotage or not or whatever it is, we have 571 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,480 a you know, whatever's going on. And people are just like, this 572 00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:12,039 is a war crime. Okay, let's say it's a war crime. Like, 573 00:44:12,119 --> 00:44:14,079 don't we want to wind this thing down in some way? Don't we 574 00:44:14,159 --> 00:44:16,760 want to help wind this thing down somewhere before it gets out of hand? 575 00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,239 No, they do not. And all of a sudden, all these left 576 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,159 wingers I'm reading in the Washington Post, all these columnists, they're like, 577 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:28,360 they sound like the Democrats used to be like anti war, they used to 578 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,199 be like judicious about this stuff, right, and now they're just all in. 579 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,920 I'm not saying they're the only ones. Plenty of Republicans are as well, 580 00:44:35,039 --> 00:44:37,400 but they're all in to expand this thing, to fund it forever, 581 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,639 I don't know. And you're not allowed to ask any questions. Yeah, 582 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:45,559 Like the pro like the humanitarian approach seems to be We're in this to the 583 00:44:45,679 --> 00:44:50,159 very last Ukrainian and that's the loving thing to do. It's like, I 584 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:54,039 don't actually think that's how it works. I do think the whole situation is 585 00:44:54,079 --> 00:45:00,280 horrible. I do wish Vladimir Putin had not invaded Ukraine. I think it 586 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,320 doesn't make you a Putin stage to think about like all the things that led 587 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:07,920 up to this, or why people think it's in their national interest to do 588 00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:10,280 this or that, Like, it's just it's just about being realistic and also 589 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,960 about hoping to resolve it with the least amount of not just bloodshed for Ukrainians 590 00:45:15,039 --> 00:45:19,960 but trauma for the world, and that seems to be the thing we're not 591 00:45:20,159 --> 00:45:22,440 willing to I do want to say one thing about the Nazi insignia stories. 592 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,880 Do you think I think this is I don't think this is actually true, 593 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,559 But when I first encountered them, I was like, I wonder if this 594 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:35,440 is the New York Times trying to prepare people for a negotiated settlement. So 595 00:45:37,039 --> 00:45:38,440 I don't I think you've given them too much credit. Probably, I think 596 00:45:39,079 --> 00:45:44,320 it could be someone who is telling them about this, setting the groundwork, 597 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,960 and they just repeat whatever they're told. I don't know, I don't know. 598 00:45:47,199 --> 00:45:52,239 And then one other thing on the Ukraine situation. I think I was 599 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,559 telling you about this, but not on the podcast, like all of DC 600 00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:04,320 is talking openly and on the front pages of major publications about this planned counter 601 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,119 offensive counter offensive in Ukraine. They're like openly saying like, so when the 602 00:46:08,199 --> 00:46:10,719 counter offensive starts, here's what's going to happen. Blah blah blah. And 603 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:15,920 I'm like, maybe my reading of the art of war was a little different 604 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:21,599 than yours, but it's not really something we normally announce and broadcast. And 605 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,599 I was even talking to this one neo Khon writer who's saying that he had 606 00:46:24,639 --> 00:46:30,440 a piece that he was going to push out when the counter offensive started. 607 00:46:30,039 --> 00:46:34,239 I'm like, why would you be read into when the counter offensive starts, 608 00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:36,920 you know, like maybe, yeah, I mean, okay, listen, 609 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:42,599 I think technologically speaking countries know if there's going to be a counter offensive, 610 00:46:42,639 --> 00:46:45,679 but they can see it it, you know, happening. It's not like 611 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,639 you can hide it like you did in the old days. So I guess 612 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:52,280 that. But I am very skeptical that there's some big counter offensive going because 613 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,199 Ukraine is a far far weaker than Russian in many, many ways, and 614 00:46:55,639 --> 00:47:00,239 just this damn bombing being an example of the counter offensive. I don't know. 615 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,440 I don't know, that's the thing. I really don't know. I 616 00:47:04,559 --> 00:47:07,639 read these pieces and they don't. Just my spidy senses are going off that 617 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:12,760 this is not really what's going on, that it's it's more foreign name or 618 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,280 complicated. Lots of people are dying. I don't know what the Ukrainian people 619 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,480 think about all this, by the way, And I think people have the 620 00:47:17,559 --> 00:47:21,360 right to self to you know, to fight for their land and you know, 621 00:47:21,679 --> 00:47:23,559 and Russia had no right to invade them and all that. But there's 622 00:47:23,599 --> 00:47:29,679 also a reality in the there's a reality in the world right like that there 623 00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:35,079 are big nuclear powers that can bully other countries around and you have to navigate 624 00:47:35,199 --> 00:47:40,760 that world. And having a nuclear power finding a proxy war against the nuclear 625 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,239 power is a dangerous game to be involved in. I mean, I don't 626 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:46,960 want to mention names, but there's someone and I like him and agree with 627 00:47:47,039 --> 00:47:50,960 him quite often, who you know, who had this idea, for instance, 628 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:58,119 of sending Americans elsewhere to sort of help police criminality right in those countries 629 00:47:58,199 --> 00:48:00,199 and things like that, so that you know, to help us with our 630 00:48:00,199 --> 00:48:01,960 own borders. I know this sends a little off base, but when you 631 00:48:02,199 --> 00:48:07,800 send people elsewhere or weapons elsewhere, you are then tied and involved and have 632 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,920 responsibilities to that nation. In that country. This is how Vietnam started to 633 00:48:12,519 --> 00:48:15,920 become a full blown war, etc. And I don't know how how we 634 00:48:16,079 --> 00:48:20,480 can pretend ever to help negotiate a settlement, but we are on one of 635 00:48:20,519 --> 00:48:22,679 the sides in this war. So I don't know who is going to help 636 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,320 negotiate that. You know who the Chinese. The Chinese are going to do 637 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,320 it. They are going to make this peace. And that is not good 638 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:34,760 for American prestige in any way or American power anyway. Where we get off 639 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,400 this media this media bashing thing and Ukraine thing? Did you see that The 640 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:45,400 Atlantic's most recent issue has is like so beyond parody I cannot even describe it. 641 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:52,280 They have a line drawing of our Lord and Savior Voldemir Zelenski drawn by 642 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:58,599 Bono of YouTube on the cover, and then it advertises that they have pieces 643 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:05,840 by Anne Apple, Bob Noted disinformation pusher and Russia clusion hoaxer and the one 644 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,960 whose husband, by the way, on the day the nord Stream pipeline was 645 00:49:09,039 --> 00:49:12,599 bombed, he was like not on message and he was like, thank you 646 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,800 USA for bombing the nord Stream pipeline. And then it was like, oh 647 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:20,320 no, we're supposed to say it's Russia, okay, okay, thank you, 648 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:25,639 not Russia okay. And then the other person is Jeffrey Goldberg, who 649 00:49:27,559 --> 00:49:31,400 was the most prominent pusher of the Iraq war, and the piece he wrote 650 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:37,760 is titled War and its Consequences. This is a guy who like published that 651 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:44,440 false story about Donald Trump secretly hating American war Dead that was just like completely 652 00:49:44,519 --> 00:49:49,199 debunked, was used by Joe Biden and media outlets in the twenty twenty Molly. 653 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,280 I don't know if you know this, but a source told me that 654 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:57,199 Jeffrey Goldberg said that the Ukrainians are suckers and louisers. I can confirm, 655 00:49:58,119 --> 00:50:01,760 yes, I can confirm right now, I've four people, four anonymous sources 656 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:07,079 confirmed that he said that that line drawing making a joke about we're making a 657 00:50:07,159 --> 00:50:12,880 joke about how he reported the einmarn story, which was based on anonymous sources. 658 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,559 Anyway, why doesn't he Why why can't those sources come forward today? 659 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:22,039 We're way past that. We're way past it. Anyway, Um that line 660 00:50:22,079 --> 00:50:23,880 draw I think when you make stuff up, you don't want to be held 661 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,679 accountable. I mean, I'm not even sure if these sources existed, it's 662 00:50:28,159 --> 00:50:30,639 I don't. I refuse to just be told. I have to accept that 663 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:37,760 sources exist because journalists who participate in information ops say they exist. That Shay 664 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:43,519 that I'm sorry that Zelenski drawing looked like Chay, like the Chay murals that 665 00:50:43,679 --> 00:50:47,920 people used to have. You sure, it's very similar kind of iconic icon 666 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:58,119 icon iconography. Last last topic, I think on politics. I just want 667 00:50:58,119 --> 00:51:04,000 to mention that did you read about this giant merger between the PGA Tour and 668 00:51:04,199 --> 00:51:08,320 the Saudi lead. I think it's called LV golfs it's really I think I 669 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:12,639 was on TV. I was on TV today and they said live, but 670 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,320 I don't know if that was maybe the host of the Stuart Barney Hour Ashley 671 00:51:16,599 --> 00:51:21,360 was wrong when he said, no, no, you may not know this, 672 00:51:21,519 --> 00:51:23,920 but I haven't. Don't watch golf. I don't know anything about golf. 673 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:30,960 I couldn't name you any sort of modern modern golfer really, So anyway, 674 00:51:30,199 --> 00:51:35,960 apparently these two leagues work in competition, and the Saudi's pumped like billions 675 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,119 into this league, and the PGA was constantly like, do you want these 676 00:51:39,199 --> 00:51:43,360 you know, theocrats to be you know these terrible theocrats. Anyway, I 677 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,360 don't really care about that issue at all. What I do care about and 678 00:51:45,519 --> 00:51:51,960 find interesting is that the anger over Saudi Arabia, the widespread anger about this 679 00:51:52,199 --> 00:51:55,840 on the left, makes me laugh because the NBA is basically owned by China. 680 00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:01,480 Now that they have no problem with making big deals with Iranians and pumping 681 00:52:01,599 --> 00:52:06,079 up Iranians, they have no problem with like, but the Saudis they do. 682 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,840 And I am no fan of the Saudis, But the only reason that 683 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:12,639 they hate the Saudis is why they're so anti Putin now too, Donald Trump 684 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,000 has a good relationship with these people, and that means that these people are 685 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,920 evil. Before they didn't care I can go, you know, I mean, 686 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,440 Saudi Arabia has been Yeah, let me put it this way. Saudi 687 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,159 Arabia at least helps us occasionally. They've been in a US ally basically for 688 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:29,360 a very long time. On like Iran, I'm like China, et cetera. 689 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,920 So I just find it's so hilarious how mad they are about Saudi Arabia 690 00:52:34,039 --> 00:52:37,599 that they can't generate that kind of anger towards red China, which for a 691 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:45,360 century has has has engaged in mass murder slavery, concentration camps and just repression. 692 00:52:45,159 --> 00:52:52,000 Thank you. Yeah, no, I it's just it would be nice 693 00:52:52,039 --> 00:52:57,079 to see some level of consistency here. But also there can be awareness that 694 00:52:58,159 --> 00:53:04,360 corporations need to be involved in going to war in cold war against a given 695 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,760 country. We saw during the Soviet Union that there was only limited engagement with 696 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:14,880 Soviet commerce. You know, there were some there were some farmers and stuff 697 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,079 that, you know, like it was a very highly regulated situation, but 698 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,400 by and large companies weren't like, what can we do to lift up the 699 00:53:22,519 --> 00:53:27,280 Soviet Union as they commit all these atrocities. But you don't see anybody saying 700 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,519 anything like that with China, even though the situation there's like far worse. 701 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:36,960 But then you do hear them saying it about Saudi Arabia when it's like basically 702 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,400 much more personal for them, you know, dealing with Jamal Kashogi, who 703 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:45,440 they who they portrayed as a journalist exclusively a journalist. I don't know, 704 00:53:45,559 --> 00:53:49,960 it's just it's just well they knew, but just I think, at least 705 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,760 my view of it is that the Soviet Union knew very well that if they 706 00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,039 open trade with the United States, it would be the end of the Soviet 707 00:53:54,119 --> 00:53:58,280 Union sooner or later. Hasn't really worked out the same way with China, 708 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:04,000 but I would say that idiot is I still hold out hope that that the 709 00:54:04,079 --> 00:54:07,119 people there will will realize that they don't benefit from being an aggressor in the 710 00:54:07,159 --> 00:54:10,719 way they are, and that something will happen there. We'll see. Yeah, 711 00:54:12,119 --> 00:54:15,760 I'm sorry, boys, it no, I just gonna say, she 712 00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,679 can show you. I forgot to mention because I forgot to me shook a 713 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,119 show of you. Sorry, I'm hogging the mic here go. Do you 714 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:27,119 know? There's also that like how they say there's like a Donald Trump tweet 715 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:30,800 for everything. And there was this truth I guess you call it from last 716 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:36,519 year where he was like saying that when there was this dispute between the PGA 717 00:54:36,679 --> 00:54:39,440 and Live, the PGA told their golfers like, you cannot go with Live, 718 00:54:39,519 --> 00:54:43,559 even though they're offering you these huge payouts. You have to be loyal 719 00:54:43,679 --> 00:54:45,880 to us. And so all these golfers were quite loyal to the PGA, 720 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:52,039 and then the PGA ends up like negotiating to merge with Live, and the 721 00:54:52,119 --> 00:54:54,719 golfers who stayed loyal to PGA get like nothing. So they hadn't, and 722 00:54:55,079 --> 00:54:58,920 Donald Trump had said, like a year ago, you know, these two 723 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:01,719 groups are going to merge. Get your money while you can, and it 724 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:07,320 turned out he was he was right. Okay, Yeah, I mean yeah, 725 00:55:07,119 --> 00:55:10,039 he knows, you know, in certain areas of you know, he 726 00:55:10,119 --> 00:55:15,800 knows what he's talking about, right, like golf exactly. Well, I 727 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,000 think that Trump Trump's property has had a relationship with Live maybe, but I 728 00:55:20,159 --> 00:55:23,880 forget exactly how that worked out. But yeah, I'm happy you mentioned. 729 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:29,039 This is random, This is random, but mentioning Trump. So last time 730 00:55:29,079 --> 00:55:30,960 I met with Trump, I'm a friend who's in the music industry who told 731 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:37,199 me this like crazy story about Elvis. And I was on the Trump Force 732 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,679 one or whatever you call it, the newly refurbished Trump Force one after the 733 00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:47,559 last twenty twenty two primary rally or I'm sorry election primary, I'm an election 734 00:55:47,679 --> 00:55:52,199 rally, which was in Ohio, and so I just heard this story and 735 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:57,559 he was playing Elvis on his big sound system, and so I told him 736 00:55:57,639 --> 00:56:00,760 this Elvis story and it was pretty wild. I can't tell it here, 737 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:07,239 and he loved it and we ended up having like this great conversation. I 738 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,960 heard another Elvis story that's pretty wild, and I was like, it was 739 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,719 just funny. I was like, I wish I could tell Donald Trump this 740 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:17,480 story. Not all of us have relationships with ex president. It's weird. 741 00:56:17,559 --> 00:56:21,199 Yeah, what a weird life. Like the person I want to tell this 742 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,440 story too is Donald Trump. I think he would really appreciate it, like 743 00:56:23,519 --> 00:56:27,400 nobody else in my life would like this story as much as he could. 744 00:56:27,519 --> 00:56:30,559 And I wrote a column. I wrote a column once and it was a 745 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,519 letter to my fifteen year old self, and it's one of the favorite things 746 00:56:32,559 --> 00:56:37,159 I've ever written. And I just the very idea that Donald Trump was a 747 00:56:37,159 --> 00:56:39,159 president everything. Sometimes I had to take a step back and think about it. 748 00:56:39,679 --> 00:56:42,920 And then I go through, like all the things in my life that 749 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,800 have been weird, like, oh, oh Bill Bill Cosby from the Bill 750 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,679 Cosby Show. He's a rapist, you know, he's a jail oja. 751 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,119 Sorry, it's horrible, it's horrible. Yes, Oh yeah, O G. 752 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:58,639 Simpson's going to murder someone, you know, like his wife. Yeah, 753 00:56:58,679 --> 00:57:00,840 allegedly. So I went through all the things that my fifteen year old 754 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,679 self wouldn't believe. It would just sound like a complete fantasy to them. 755 00:57:06,119 --> 00:57:08,400 And that keeps growing. Oh yeah, Bruce Jenner is now called you know 756 00:57:08,559 --> 00:57:15,039 what's her name again? It's his name again, Caitlyn Jenner. I don't 757 00:57:15,079 --> 00:57:16,639 think it would compute. Anyway, Let's talk. Let's get out of this, 758 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:21,840 let's get out of the political stuff. Let's talk about culture. To 759 00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,719 do anything, watch anything, see anything this week? Okay, So my 760 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,480 family is going on a Hillsdale cruise here pretty soon, and I'm trying to 761 00:57:30,679 --> 00:57:34,760 build up like all the TV hits I can so that nobody will miss me 762 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,599 when I'm gone, you know, for a month or whatever. And so 763 00:57:38,719 --> 00:57:42,119 I was up in New York and I was just doing like Around the Clock 764 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:49,159 TV, which was very interesting and fun. And you have to occasionally do 765 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:54,000 hosting, which involves reading the teleprompter. Everyone who works at Fox loves reading 766 00:57:54,039 --> 00:57:58,840 the teleprompter. They love being a host. And I'm sitting there like sweating, 767 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,760 nervous. It is not an enjoyable experience for me. So anyway, 768 00:58:02,159 --> 00:58:08,280 after one particious quickly say something yes, I struggle, like I don't know 769 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,880 how to do that kind of thing that obviously you're on TV and all of 770 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:14,480 that. I don't really do that. But even this show, like just 771 00:58:14,599 --> 00:58:17,480 trying to lead it is like really hard for me because I'm usually I'm usually 772 00:58:17,559 --> 00:58:21,280 I just want people to know. I usually call into a RADI show and 773 00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,360 they ask me questions and I'm good at like answering questioning. Yeah, but 774 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:27,280 it's very difficult to sort of lead. And I have much more respect for 775 00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,119 people on TV who do this leading a show or you know, or or 776 00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:34,280 coming up with the right questions all the time. And I think it's a 777 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,199 real skill. Anyway, it is a real skill. And I was on 778 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,280 with these other people and I was just like fascinated watching them, including Guy 779 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:44,119 Benson and Tom Shalou and in need of Vogel, and like, yeah, 780 00:58:44,159 --> 00:58:45,840 they get a topic and then they like lead a discussion and they ask you 781 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,719 questions that are relevant. In my case, I kind of know what I 782 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,039 want to say, and I'm kind of curious sometimes to ask people questions, 783 00:58:52,119 --> 00:58:58,000 but not always. And I'm very quiet unless I have something I want to 784 00:58:58,039 --> 00:59:01,719 ask or say. And you can't be quiet, Like there's no sport for 785 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:07,960 being like a meek listener on TV. You know, you know dead Air 786 00:59:07,039 --> 00:59:12,480 as everyone loves dead Air on radio and TV. Oh yeah, I once 787 00:59:12,559 --> 00:59:15,719 said to a wonderful host. He asked me a question and I said, 788 00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,199 I don't know because I didn't know. And after the show he was like, 789 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,119 you will never do that again. I don't care that you don't know, 790 00:59:22,599 --> 00:59:25,480 but tell me something you do know. Okay, we're like on live 791 00:59:25,639 --> 00:59:31,039 television. Let's get it together anyway. Um. But so like I was, 792 00:59:31,239 --> 00:59:36,280 I was doing this hosting with Guy Benson. He went to the Billy 793 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:42,679 Joel Madison Square Garden show one night, and other people went to like Ed 794 00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:47,840 Sheeran and I went to a David Lynch film festival at the IFC Theater down 795 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,320 in Greenwich Village. I do want to say I feel very safe in New 796 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,639 York. I understand it's got a crime problem, but like where I am 797 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:58,079 in the city usually is pretty safe. But I do I got out of 798 00:59:58,119 --> 01:00:00,880 the subway in Greenwich Ville and I just like pop up out of the subway 799 01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:06,519 and there is a man with blood streaming down his face, like running up 800 01:00:06,519 --> 01:00:08,719 to people and saying like boo and trying to scare them. And I was 801 01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:13,199 like, did I make a bad decision by coming to Greenwich Village? Possibly? 802 01:00:13,679 --> 01:00:15,760 Um, but it is definitely getting worse in my opinion every time I 803 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,599 go up there. I grew up there. I mean I staw in the 804 01:00:17,639 --> 01:00:20,800 seventies and eighties. Every time I go back, I think it's worse, 805 01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,559 more homeless or sort of weird stuff going on. And anyway, but I 806 01:00:24,639 --> 01:00:28,039 saw Wild at Heart. Do you remember that? Oh? I love that 807 01:00:28,119 --> 01:00:30,559 movie with Nicholas Cage. What does the Elvis thing and with the speed metal 808 01:00:30,599 --> 01:00:35,159 and the speed metal bar is? Yeah? I love that scene. Well, 809 01:00:35,199 --> 01:00:38,039 Laura Dern, I believe it's in it. William. You know it 810 01:00:38,239 --> 01:00:43,039 is not a family friendly film people, But sorry, did you get the 811 01:00:43,119 --> 01:00:50,199 reader who said I finally watched Triangle of Sadness and he was like oofed because 812 01:00:50,199 --> 01:00:53,960 it's not It's not an enjoyable film. Even though I only wanted you to 813 01:00:54,039 --> 01:00:57,800 see it, David, I didn't want anyone else to be subjected to it. 814 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:02,119 I just wanted to hear what you thought recommendations. Wild at Heart was 815 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:07,159 weird in nineteen ninety It ages weirdly too. It's not one of David Lynch's 816 01:01:07,239 --> 01:01:12,119 best films. It's very inappropriate in many ways, and I kind of loved 817 01:01:12,159 --> 01:01:15,679 it. I like it better than some of his other films. I don't 818 01:01:15,679 --> 01:01:16,960 know. I'm a fan of it, and I'm a fan of Dune, 819 01:01:17,679 --> 01:01:22,239 David Lynch's Dune. So yeah, okay, well that's that's that's fun. 820 01:01:22,599 --> 01:01:25,039 That's it. By the way, I just want to quickly say, this 821 01:01:25,159 --> 01:01:28,639 is a good time to say if you have questions, because we're going to 822 01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:34,840 need more questions for our special episode of you answering a bunch of readermail at 823 01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,760 radio at the Federalist dot com or radio at the Federalist dot com, and 824 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,519 do it like today because we might have to do it in two days. 825 01:01:43,199 --> 01:01:46,000 If I might, if I might break down the wall there. But yeah, 826 01:01:46,119 --> 01:01:52,559 sooner rather than later, we can break down the wall. I don't 827 01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:58,039 know a wall six David, did you also get the email? So you 828 01:01:58,159 --> 01:02:00,119 have like a lot of people email about the Bible chats and they're always like, 829 01:02:00,239 --> 01:02:02,360 oh, you gotta read this, you gotta do that. Always, 830 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,639 But there was that one guy who was like, so help me, God, 831 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,480 if you talk about the Bible one more time, I'm out of here. 832 01:02:10,039 --> 01:02:14,199 So on that note, I did finish for Samuel, and I've started 833 01:02:14,239 --> 01:02:16,679 Second Samuel. And these are very exciting books too. Like I'm asked being 834 01:02:16,679 --> 01:02:20,159 asked to do all these book lists for the summer, and I was like, 835 01:02:20,239 --> 01:02:23,639 can I put the Bible because it is super interesting, like riveting the 836 01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:28,960 story of David. I just like can't get enough out of fast edition of 837 01:02:29,039 --> 01:02:32,320 the Bible. It will say, super interesting, Molly having away. Molly 838 01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:37,320 had some edits for Deuteronomy's first half, but other than that, excellent. 839 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:42,039 You know what. I'm scared to say. I'm reluctant to say anything about 840 01:02:42,079 --> 01:02:45,280 the Bible because I get I say, oh, you know, David did 841 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,239 this and Samuel whatever it is, and I get like ten emails telling me, 842 01:02:49,599 --> 01:02:52,000 like with the thousand words, telling me I'm all wrong, but tell 843 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:55,079 I feel like I learned. I love these this email engagement where you like 844 01:02:55,199 --> 01:03:00,159 learn about stuff like that I'm okay but being told I'm wrong David. And 845 01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:05,800 it's good because it happens enough. Listen, I've never I'm no expert, 846 01:03:06,119 --> 01:03:10,920 you know, no expert. I watched a show. I watched the whole 847 01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:15,159 show. It's called Missus Davis. Have you ever heard of this? No, 848 01:03:15,719 --> 01:03:20,639 listen, I can't really do it justice. Just it is the wild 849 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,760 one, a completely wild show. I don't even know how to explain it. 850 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:29,960 But here there are the basics. There's a nun and she is out 851 01:03:30,039 --> 01:03:35,079 there like a superhero fighting AI which has taken over the world. So it's 852 01:03:35,119 --> 01:03:38,559 a nun Catholic nun fighting as John Davidson heard about this, Like, did 853 01:03:38,719 --> 01:03:45,000 John Davidson write this, perhaps, but go on, but it involves Jesus 854 01:03:45,639 --> 01:03:53,119 is a character, It involves a virgin Mary makes an appearance, it involves 855 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:58,280 all kinds of crazy ideas. One of the writers is the one of the 856 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,039 writers of Lost, So it has a little bit of like we're making this 857 01:04:00,159 --> 01:04:03,519 up as we go along feel to it. It in some ways felt like 858 01:04:03,599 --> 01:04:08,559 Quentin Tarantino could direct something like this. The way it's shot, it is 859 01:04:09,239 --> 01:04:14,440 not appropriate for kids, but it is not like it is not out there. 860 01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,039 It is not. Yeah, it's inappropriate for children, but it is 861 01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:21,119 not like, you know, you can watch it if you were like late 862 01:04:21,159 --> 01:04:24,840 in your late teens or something. I think I'm not, you know, 863 01:04:25,039 --> 01:04:26,960 just make it up your own minds on that. But anyway, I don't 864 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,400 know. I guess I recommend it. I literally, I don't know if 865 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,760 I liked it or not. It is wild. The actress who plays the 866 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,079 nun, I'm a big fan. She was in the movie The Hunt, 867 01:04:35,159 --> 01:04:39,639 which I think was a great movie where the people hunt the conservatives, like 868 01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:45,000 on the Island, it's got a lot of people you would recognize. I 869 01:04:45,039 --> 01:04:50,400 don't know what's it called again, Missus Davids, Like I'm I was talking 870 01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,440 to my wife, I like, we don't even I don't know if we 871 01:04:53,559 --> 01:04:55,719 like it. I don't know if we liked it. There, you know, 872 01:04:57,599 --> 01:05:00,440 is like the triangle of sadness where I'm just disturbed and I want the 873 01:05:00,519 --> 01:05:05,079 house to share in my experience of being disturbed. Not you know, some 874 01:05:05,199 --> 01:05:08,320 of it's a little disturbing, but let me ask you that. You know, 875 01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:10,480 you know, sometimes you watch something you're like, that's really fun to 876 01:05:10,519 --> 01:05:14,079 watch, like an expressionist painting, right, Like that's cool to look at, 877 01:05:14,119 --> 01:05:16,400 but there's nothing really under it. There's nothing really there, Like I 878 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,119 doubt I'm even going to remember the plot, yes, like a month from 879 01:05:20,159 --> 01:05:24,360 now. But it was fun to watch. It's a it's colorful, it's 880 01:05:24,559 --> 01:05:29,079 exciting. I think there's eight episode something like that. Anyway, I'm just 881 01:05:29,159 --> 01:05:31,559 throwing it out there. Great, okay, uh yeah, and that's all 882 01:05:31,599 --> 01:05:36,880 I've watched. I've really gotten into though some of cliche. Maybe I've really 883 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:41,119 got into reading orwell, lately I listened to a podcast about his life. 884 01:05:41,199 --> 01:05:45,480 And it just hit me that I think every writer should read Orwell the way 885 01:05:45,519 --> 01:05:48,960 he writes, the just the just how smart he is and how direct he 886 01:05:49,079 --> 01:05:50,920 is it. But I found this amazing quote. If I want to share, 887 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,400 I want to share with you. Yeah, you might have seen it 888 01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,400 because I did share it online. But this is a quote from Orwell in 889 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,760 nineteen thirty six, I believe, when he went up to up northern England 890 01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,360 to look at people. Any storm about socialists, one sometimes gets the impression 891 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:10,480 that the mere word socialism draws towards it the magnet with a magnetic force. 892 01:06:10,599 --> 01:06:14,840 Every free drinker, nudist, sandal ware, sex mania, quaker, nature 893 01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:18,119 cure quack, pacifist and feminist in England. And it hit me that this 894 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:26,000 is literally the truth today and nothing has changed. And reading Orwell it's like 895 01:06:26,119 --> 01:06:30,039 reading something about the contemporary world, not something in nineteen thirty six or nineteen 896 01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:32,199 forty seven, and stuff like that. Anyway, I just wanted to think, 897 01:06:32,239 --> 01:06:39,400 except that like nineteen eighty four went from dystopia to just documentary. I 898 01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,400 find it interesting that nineteen eighty four is always it was read when I was 899 01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:46,480 young everywhere, because it was like the anti fascist book rather than Animal Farm, 900 01:06:46,519 --> 01:06:49,239 which was the anti communist book. And I think animal Farm is a 901 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:53,679 better book. But nineteen eighty four when I reread it recently, didn't strike 902 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,559 me as an anti fascist book. Struck me as almost an anti like a 903 01:06:57,639 --> 01:07:02,079 cough guist world where it was anti bureau see, an anti um, you 904 01:07:02,199 --> 01:07:08,239 know, any kind of huge status government that cares about what you say and 905 01:07:08,559 --> 01:07:12,719 does and change us history. And communists were much more effective at changing history. 906 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,920 Fascists quite often relied on the traditional history for their power, you know, 907 01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,800 well, you know, for nationalism and things like that, whereas the 908 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,920 communists at the opposite. So I don't know, I'm not I'm not going 909 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,559 to pretend to be well expert either, and I just went in a weird 910 01:07:25,639 --> 01:07:30,360 direction, I realized. But I think nineteen eighty four is worth rereading from 911 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,119 that light, as you know, and that from that prism as well, 912 01:07:32,199 --> 01:07:38,000 that it's not exactly about fascism but just basically statism. How do you feel 913 01:07:38,039 --> 01:07:44,719 about that? I've been thinking I want to read more orwell, and everything 914 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,440 that I sort of think about language and how it's used to control people was 915 01:07:47,559 --> 01:07:50,079 probably you know, taught to me by orwell, And I just like to 916 01:07:50,159 --> 01:07:54,679 revisit all of that. I mean, for so many years people would you 917 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:58,920 just orwellian where it wasn't appropriate, and now I feel it is appropriate that 918 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:01,000 I'm like and am I just getting old? Like every old person thinks the 919 01:08:01,079 --> 01:08:04,280 world is falling apart? You know what I mean? And am I just 920 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:09,719 old now and cranky about everything? That's just to bring it around to the 921 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:13,440 most important thing, which is the raccoon attack. That's how I feel after 922 01:08:13,599 --> 01:08:17,199 face planting into the curb and injuring myself, I feel like such an old 923 01:08:17,279 --> 01:08:21,840 lady, like this must be what happens. Like I used to be able 924 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:25,920 to bounce back a little bit better than this. I just wanted a very 925 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,760 short story. My wife hurt herself, she heard her face she fell in 926 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,720 a similar way, and we went to the emergency room with her, and 927 01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,920 everyone looked at me like, why are you beating your wife? And then 928 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:42,279 you have the gall to bring her here, take her into a separate room 929 01:08:42,319 --> 01:08:45,760 and ask her questions. Do you feel safe? You're honey? Yeah, 930 01:08:46,359 --> 01:08:49,520 anyway, that's great, So please email us if you can, and until 931 01:08:49,560 --> 01:09:00,800 then, be lovers of freedom and anxious for the frame it's well hid.
