1
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 1>In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a

2
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show.

3
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 2>As the clock strikes thirteen, It's Friday, the thirteenth of February.

4
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 2>You're of our Lord, twenty twenty six. Well, today we're

5
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 2>going to take a look since we didn't have the

6
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>show yesterday about Pam Bondy's hearing on Wednesday, the Trump

7
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 2>regime has hit a new low. We're also going to

8
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:06.480
<v Speaker 2>talk about Mike Johnson. He wants to redefine what a

9
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>day is for the next six months for legal purposes.

10
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 2>One of the most absurd insults to our intelligence and

11
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 2>the constitution I have seen. I mean, we're not talking

12
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.680
<v Speaker 2>about daylight savings time. He wants to pretend that these

13
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.799
<v Speaker 2>days don't even exist. Then we're going to take a

14
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 2>look at this strange story out of El Paso, a

15
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 2>new laser weapon the Pentagon is testing, but also talk

16
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:37.879
<v Speaker 2>about being wielded against cartel drones or UFOs or party balloons,

17
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>which one of those you think it is multiple choices.

18
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 2>But we're going to also take a look at the

19
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>aiessay that I talked about the other day. A very

20
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>impressive essay, is it true. A lot of people are

21
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 2>saying it's hype advertising, and maybe it's real. We'll be

22
00:01:56.599 --> 00:02:12.960
<v Speaker 2>right back. Well, yesterday we had an issue with my

23
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>device here that I put all the articles on as

24
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 2>we've gone paperless, and the problem is is that it

25
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 2>was centralized control. Whenever you put everything together centrally controlled

26
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.199
<v Speaker 2>and it goes out, then you have a big problem.

27
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 2>So it took us quite a while to get a

28
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 2>work around. And now I've got a second one so

29
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>that this isn't going to happen again. Hopefully. I guess

30
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the meantime between failure, it's like a radar ray. If

31
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 2>you've got one disk drive five years. If you've got

32
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>two of them in the mirroring mode, you can get

33
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>many decades, perhaps even longer than that. So hopefully that'll

34
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 2>happen this time. But I wanted to really talk about

35
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Pam Bondi, and we weren't able to do that yesterday,

36
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 2>So they want to talk a little bit about this.

37
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>It was one of the most ridiculous things, but not unexpected.

38
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 2>What was unexpected was the extent of the absurdity and

39
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.759
<v Speaker 2>the extent of her temper tantrums that were there. And

40
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 2>I said it on Wednesday, before it over happened, I said, well,

41
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>she going to be testifying today. It'll be another one

42
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.639
<v Speaker 2>of these deals where she shows up with a wrap

43
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>sheet on everybody in hurls insults at them instead of

44
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.719
<v Speaker 2>answering the questions. That's the way she dodges the questions

45
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 2>whenever she does it. And so she agreed as part

46
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>of the questions. There was only one point of agreement

47
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.159
<v Speaker 2>that I could really see. Agreed that Maxwell claim Maxwell

48
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 2>did not deserve special treatment. However, she at the same

49
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>time said she knew nothing about it, wasn't anything that

50
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>belonged to her, that it was just a coincidence that

51
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:56.039
<v Speaker 2>the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche who was Trump's personal lawyer,

52
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>just a coincidence that he went to her jail cell

53
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 2>and interviewed her for a very long time. And then

54
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 2>afterwards she gets the special treatment had nothing to do

55
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.840
<v Speaker 2>with any quid pro quo. And yet at the same

56
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>time we see her lawyer saying that she's willing to

57
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 2>testify that Donald Trump didn't know them at all, basically

58
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>and never committed a crime as long as she gets

59
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>a pardon. I mean, they're openly putting this out, Well,

60
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 2>anybody will that do Trump any good? No, it's nobody's

61
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:35.199
<v Speaker 2>gonna believe that. Everybody understands it's a quid pro quo

62
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 2>that's happening here. So we all know this. We've saw

63
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 2>this happen with Todd Blanche, but she pretends it didn't happen.

64
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:47.199
<v Speaker 2>She's transferred to a Texas minimum security prison, of course,

65
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 2>and now they're floating a pardon for her if she

66
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 2>says that Trump is exonerated. This is one of the

67
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>club fed print in Texas. For example, she gets all

68
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>kinds of special privileges, puppy, a puppy tie. I don't

69
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 2>know what a puppy tie is. I don't know if

70
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 2>she's got a puppy. Anyway, she does have private workouts.

71
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.240
<v Speaker 3>I had heard she was given a puppy. Yeah, I

72
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:16.199
<v Speaker 3>heard that a while ago.

73
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 2>It's like Washington, d C. They say, if you want

74
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>a friend, get a dog. Well, I guess federal prisons

75
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>are like that as well. Anyway, private workout area, she

76
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 2>has secretarial services. I don't even have that. And personal mail,

77
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:41.480
<v Speaker 2>how about that? And so she was asked in questioning

78
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 2>and said Attorney General BONDI does a convicted sex offender

79
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.480
<v Speaker 2>like Glenne Maxwell, deserves special treatment and privileges in a prison.

80
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes or no, Well, of course you're not going to

81
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.639
<v Speaker 2>get a yes or no answer from Bondi. She's going

82
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 2>to answer it the way she wants to answer it.

83
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 2>She said she wasn't transferred to a lower security facility.

84
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 2>First of all, that's a lie, one of many. And

85
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.319
<v Speaker 2>then she said she didn't know anything about her being

86
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:09.199
<v Speaker 2>transferred to the lower security facility. So first of all,

87
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not a lower security facility according to her. You know,

88
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.240
<v Speaker 2>that's it's pretty standard in all the prisons that you

89
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.120
<v Speaker 2>get puppies and secretaries in private workout areas, Right, isn't

90
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 2>that right?

91
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.439
<v Speaker 3>Standard issue prison puppy.

92
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Yeah, it's a I guess what kind of

93
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 2>a puppy do you get in prison. It's not a

94
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Rottweiler or something, right, It's not gonna be a guard

95
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 2>dog of some sort. And that's what I mean. This

96
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 2>is such an insult to our intelligence. The lies that

97
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Pam Bondi told, the lies of Trumpet, and she is

98
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:46.639
<v Speaker 2>the mere image of trump. You know, this regime is

99
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.959
<v Speaker 2>rotting from the head down. You look at people like

100
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>cash Mattel and Pam Bondi, and it's like, what is

101
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the matter with them? Well, they're just mimicking the guy

102
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.399
<v Speaker 2>they work for. Anyway, she said, I said, I do

103
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>not agree she should receive special treatment. She was transferred.

104
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I learned that after the fact to the same level facility.

105
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Lie And that is a question for the Bureau of Prisons.

106
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Well a Bureau of Prisons. It wasn't the Deputy Secretary

107
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Bureau of Prisons that got her transferred. It

108
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:25.240
<v Speaker 2>was the Deputy Attorney General that got her transferred. So

109
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 2>it turned into a brawl.

110
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was just looking up what kind of permissions.

111
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:35.759
<v Speaker 3>She's got a special cordoned off area for visitors as

112
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.959
<v Speaker 3>well as snacks and refreshments for a guest, permission to

113
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.600
<v Speaker 3>go to the exercise area after hours. There's a whole

114
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.319
<v Speaker 3>article about it here, as well as the puppy of course.

115
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, yeah, but according to Fan Bondi, it's not happening.

116
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.480
<v Speaker 3>That's that's it gets that kind of treatment. It's a

117
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.759
<v Speaker 3>real luxurious life. If you get arrested in given prison

118
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 3>time for.

119
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, maybe we should consider rob banks or something.

120
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.079
<v Speaker 3>I think it's only the human traffickers that get this.

121
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:07.879
<v Speaker 2>That's right, that's right. Well, it was a brawl, as

122
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.959
<v Speaker 2>many have characterized it, and I think it's kind of

123
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>interesting to see the reaction of the press, of the public,

124
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 2>and of the politicians that are there. But first of all,

125
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>some of the things that happened. Here is a Pam

126
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Bondi and when she is confronted with Ted LUs As,

127
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you lied under oath.

128
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 4>There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime.

129
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 4>Everyone knows that this has been the most transparent presidency.

130
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Transparent fraud.

131
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 5>Got your answer, legislation.

132
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.440
<v Speaker 6>This is time belongs to the gentleman from California.

133
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:55.679
<v Speaker 7>Okay, I'm going to put up another document from a

134
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 7>witness who called the FBI's National Threat Operations Center because

135
00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 7>I believe you just lied under oath.

136
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 2>There is ample evidence into Epstein.

137
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Look ever accuse me of ad.

138
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 7>You just linder oath And this is all on videotape.

139
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Even if she commitced it, don't you ever accuse her?

140
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.080
<v Speaker 7>One I'm showing you here is a witness statement who

141
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:19.559
<v Speaker 7>called into the fi's Threat Operations Center. He drove Donald

142
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 7>Trump around in Limo. He overheard Donald Trump said to

143
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 7>Jeffrey on his cell phone. He was so angry he

144
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 7>was going to stop a limo and hurt Donald Trump.

145
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 7>And he met a girl who said she was raped

146
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.639
<v Speaker 7>by Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. She later had her

147
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.039
<v Speaker 7>head blown off, and the officers at the scene said

148
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 7>that could not have been suicide. No one, no one

149
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.679
<v Speaker 7>at the point of justice interviewed this witness. You need

150
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 7>to interview this witness immediately. Epstein should rot in hell.

151
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 7>So should the men who patronize this operation. And as

152
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 7>we say it here today, there are over one thousand

153
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:02.159
<v Speaker 7>sex trafficking victims and you have not held a single

154
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 7>man accountable.

155
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Shame on you.

156
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.080
<v Speaker 7>If you had any decency, you would resign right after

157
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 7>this here with conclude.

158
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:12.000
<v Speaker 2>But she doesn't have any decency, So she's not going

159
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.200
<v Speaker 2>to resign, and she's going to continue to light our

160
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 2>face regardless of what we know is true. And that

161
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:23.320
<v Speaker 2>case was one that I mentioned the other day, and

162
00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>you know it was ruled as a suicide by the coroner,

163
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 2>who but the police officers who are there said there's

164
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.960
<v Speaker 2>absolutely no way that could be the case. And so

165
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:38.320
<v Speaker 2>again you can get people to say whatever you want

166
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 2>them to say under some circumstances, and so he says,

167
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.320
<v Speaker 2>you just lied under oath. Isn't that interesting? You know,

168
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>we just had the other day Wednesday. We're talking about

169
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 2>Lutnik lying under oath on Tuesday, then on Wednesday, Ham

170
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Bondi lies under oath, and Cash Mattel has done it

171
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:00.200
<v Speaker 2>many times himself. Every time these people go it is

172
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>is a perjury trap, except we see that they don't

173
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 2>charge them with perjury, just like they didn't charge James

174
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Clapper with perjury when James Clapper was asked point blank,

175
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 2>are you doing are you spying on Americans with a

176
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 2>search warrant with the NSA and no senator not intentionally?

177
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Blah blah blah. Right, we all know that he lied

178
00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:27.279
<v Speaker 2>under oath, and yet they never charged him. Statue of

179
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>limitations ended, I think in twenty eighteen. That was back

180
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.000
<v Speaker 2>in twenty thirteen he did it. And so it even

181
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>got to the extent that Pam Bondi went after a

182
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Jewish Democrat who got so upset she pushed back her

183
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 2>chair and stormed out. She accused the Jewish rep of

184
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 2>being anti Semitic because she doesn't support net Yahoo. As

185
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>I've said many times, there's a lot of Jews who

186
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 2>do not support what Israel is doing, because there's a

187
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of Jews in Israel who didn't vote for Netanya,

188
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 2>who he barely got together a coalition to govern, and

189
00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 2>he had to have three elections in order to do that,

190
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.320
<v Speaker 2>and so there's a lot of people who don't support

191
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.200
<v Speaker 2>him there as well as in the United States who

192
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 2>are Jewish, and so Pam Bondi is out there throwing

193
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 2>the race card around just like a liberal, right So

194
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Pam Bondy traded Barbes just about every Democrat of the

195
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>House Judiciary Committee. When she got to Jamie Raskin, she

196
00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 2>called him a loser. She said that Thomas Massey had

197
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump derangement syndrome. But that's pretty original, isn't it. You

198
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>point out what Donald Trump is, Oh, you got Trump

199
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 2>dellusion syndrome, says, give me a break. They always resort

200
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:49.159
<v Speaker 2>to that. And then she said that Jamie Raskin was

201
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 2>a loser. He wasn't even a lawyer and so forth

202
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>he taught in law school. Anyway, I think she is

203
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:03.120
<v Speaker 2>projecting a total minelt down from Representative Becca Ballant, who

204
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.919
<v Speaker 2>stormed out of the hearing after the Attorney General seemingly

205
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>grew frustrated by one of the many questions about Jeffrey

206
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Empstein and launched into a personal attack on her voting record.

207
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Which is Pam Bondi's tactic and strategy. It is weakness.

208
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.039
<v Speaker 2>It is clear to everybody that it's a cover up.

209
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.519
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows she's dodging the questions. She might as well

210
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:29.720
<v Speaker 2>just plead the fifth anyway, accusing her of anti Semitism

211
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:33.159
<v Speaker 2>for not supporting Israel. Ballant was the first Jewish Congress

212
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 2>member to use the term genocide to describe the war

213
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.919
<v Speaker 2>in Gaza. With this anti Semitic culture, said Bondi. She

214
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>voted against a resolution condemning before being interrupted by Ballant.

215
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Ballance said, you want to go there. You're talking to

216
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.120
<v Speaker 2>a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust. Ballant

217
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:55.639
<v Speaker 2>responded before slamming her chair into the deis behind her

218
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and storming out of the room. Fuming. She repeatedly asked

219
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Bondy if her department had investigated the ties of top

220
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Trump administration leaders have to Epstein, at one point stating

221
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.919
<v Speaker 2>this is not a game Secretary, to which Bondi responded,

222
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:17.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm Attorney General. My apologies. I couldn't tell She behaves

223
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:19.600
<v Speaker 2>like a secretary, doesn't she. And I don't mean a

224
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>secretary with a capital S as part of the cabinet,

225
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:29.440
<v Speaker 2>just somebody who is serving the every whim of Donald Trump.

226
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.519
<v Speaker 2>I thought that was the best comeback of anybody actually

227
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 2>calling her a secretary. And as you get it reminds

228
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.519
<v Speaker 2>me of Vinman. Remember that Lieutenant Colonel Vinman to you

229
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:46.480
<v Speaker 2>that the Ukrainian shill. Anyway, the Age furiously clashed with

230
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Raskin. He accused Bondy of philibustering and he said,

231
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I told you about that attorney Joan before you started

232
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:58.879
<v Speaker 2>speaking about the philibustering. She said, you don't tell me

233
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:02.600
<v Speaker 2>anything you want, washed up loser. You're not even a lawyer.

234
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.360
<v Speaker 2>So we have this hierarchy that you know, lawyers are

235
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:11.039
<v Speaker 2>special or something. If that's ever that was the case,

236
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I think Pambondy just blew blew that. If she's the

237
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 2>top lawyer, she's the top attorney general. What does that

238
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>say about the profession right there? That's probably one of

239
00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the worst attacks on the legal profession to have Pam

240
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Bondy there. Nevertheless, before he was a congressman, he was

241
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>a professor at American University Washington College of Law. But anyway,

242
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>whatever you think about Jamie Raskin or in these other

243
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>people that are Democrats who are attacking her, can we look

244
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 2>at Pambondy and say that she absolutely owned herself As

245
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.679
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, Dana lash who I think says

246
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.039
<v Speaker 2>she is a Second Amendment person. She has no love

247
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.960
<v Speaker 2>of Pam Bondy, who has no love of the Constitution,

248
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 2>especially the Second It's not just the Second Amendment that

249
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Pampondi hates this everything. She and Christy Nome are out

250
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 2>there with their surveillance state. They're out there getting Apple

251
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and Facebook to pull down people who have groups that

252
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.679
<v Speaker 2>are watching what Ice is doing, punishing them, and so

253
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.360
<v Speaker 2>far she hates every aspect of the Constitution and the

254
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Bill of Rights. Anyway, Jay and Paul said, will you

255
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 2>turn to the survivors behind you now and apologize for

256
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 2>what your DOJ has put them through the absolutely unacceptable

257
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.200
<v Speaker 2>release of the Epstein files and their private information. Said,

258
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to get in the gutter with you,

259
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 2>he said, So she got into the gutter with Donald Trump, though,

260
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and Jamie Raskin said, this performance screams cover up.

261
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to get into the gutter with you.

262
00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.240
<v Speaker 3>How dare you bring up the reprehensible actions of my department.

263
00:16:57.720 --> 00:16:58.120
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

264
00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gut her with the department members.

265
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to get in the gutter with those

266
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:05.839
<v Speaker 2>victims over there, the people that we had one job,

267
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:09.400
<v Speaker 2>and that was to redact the victims' names. Instead, what

268
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 2>they do is they put out the victims' names and

269
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.599
<v Speaker 2>redacted the perpetrators.

270
00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 3>Amazing that she would say, get into the gutter with you,

271
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:20.720
<v Speaker 3>as she's insulting everyone and throwing mud. But to get

272
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 3>into the gutter of you to discuss the actions of

273
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:25.519
<v Speaker 3>my department, the mistakes we made.

274
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, people like Bondi and Cash Battel, they just epitomize

275
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>the Trump administration and what a disgusting display it is

276
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 2>for the world to see. As Attorney General, you're siding

277
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:44.880
<v Speaker 2>with the perpetrators. You're ignoring the victims, and that will

278
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 2>leave your legacy unless you act quickly to change course.

279
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Said Raskin. You're running a massive Epstein cover up right

280
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:58.440
<v Speaker 2>now out of the DOJ. He's absolutely right. Now, this

281
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:02.559
<v Speaker 2>gets to the point where people want to cover up

282
00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:07.440
<v Speaker 2>for this, like Breitbart was just disgusting. Bright Bart their

283
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:13.279
<v Speaker 2>first response to Larry Lutnik being caught with perjury and

284
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 2>the awful things that came out in terms of, you know,

285
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:24.799
<v Speaker 2>he definitely has a perjury issue, but when you look

286
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:28.240
<v Speaker 2>at the financial aspects of what Larry Lutnick is doing

287
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 2>as Commerce Secretary and the traps that he's laying for

288
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.920
<v Speaker 2>all of us. Breitbart had a special exclusive interview with him,

289
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and they were featuring Larry Lutnik all over the place,

290
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:42.920
<v Speaker 2>more so even than their defense of Pam Bondi. And

291
00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:48.599
<v Speaker 2>their defense of Pam Bondi was a Congressman, Brandon Gill

292
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.039
<v Speaker 2>who came on and said, well, you know, in the

293
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Biden administration, they didn't do this and they didn't do that. Again,

294
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 2>it's the what about ism. Well, you know, they committed

295
00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:00.839
<v Speaker 2>a crime or they did not prosecut this and so forth,

296
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.599
<v Speaker 2>so therefore we can do the same as they did.

297
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.720
<v Speaker 2>So they simultaneously criticize somebody else for the wrongdoing that

298
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:12.119
<v Speaker 2>they're doing, and then even though they criticize the other side,

299
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:16.759
<v Speaker 2>they use it as a get out of jail free

300
00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>card for themselves. When is that going to stop? I'm

301
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.119
<v Speaker 2>so sick and tired of seeing that every time you

302
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 2>catch the Trump people of the GOP and something. Oh well,

303
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats and Biden did it as well. That's no

304
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:38.039
<v Speaker 2>excuse none whatsoever. And this is just a downward spiral

305
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:40.960
<v Speaker 2>that they're taking the entire country in. You know, once

306
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:43.680
<v Speaker 2>the other side commits a crime, and of course they

307
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.079
<v Speaker 2>usually get away with it. We're not going to try

308
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.400
<v Speaker 2>to reform anything. We're not going to try to punish anybody.

309
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.720
<v Speaker 2>And don't you criticize me when I do the same

310
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:55.319
<v Speaker 2>thing that I criticize those people for. So they're talking

311
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.200
<v Speaker 2>about Epstein today, she said, this has been around since

312
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 2>the Obama had been imistration. The Dow is over fifty thousand,

313
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 2>right now, there you go. And I think one of

314
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.119
<v Speaker 2>the best comebacks that I saw from anybody said, we

315
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:13.680
<v Speaker 2>don't worry about pedophiles unless the Dow is below fifty thousand.

316
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that essentially everything that Jeffrey Epstein was doing. I mean,

317
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:22.000
<v Speaker 2>isn't that the essence of what we're talking about with

318
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the elite as long as they can make money, as

319
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.640
<v Speaker 2>long as they get away with what they want, as

320
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:28.440
<v Speaker 2>long as they get what they want out of it,

321
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.720
<v Speaker 2>whether it is the hedonism or whether it's the massive

322
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:34.799
<v Speaker 2>amounts of money. Then we're not going to punish anybody.

323
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.279
<v Speaker 2>There's no crime that we need to take a look at.

324
00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:41.519
<v Speaker 2>She has embraced with that statement that everybody can. She

325
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 2>embraced the essence of Epstein and the pedophile elite with

326
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:50.799
<v Speaker 2>all of that. So Massey launched a blistering attack on

327
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:53.759
<v Speaker 2>her for not properly redacting the names of victims. As

328
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:56.160
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, he had said the night before

329
00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.680
<v Speaker 2>he was a stop by reporter. They were asking him,

330
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:01.400
<v Speaker 2>what's going to happen the next day? You have this

331
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:03.240
<v Speaker 2>to say, same questions.

332
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:04.960
<v Speaker 7>You mentioned that there are some things that have been

333
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 7>redacted that probably shouldn't have been redacted.

334
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's anything.

335
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Can you elaborate it on that?

336
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.519
<v Speaker 8>Yeah? Six men's names. One of I'm listed as a

337
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:16.160
<v Speaker 8>co conspirator. Why would you redact his name?

338
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, there's not victim.

339
00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:22.640
<v Speaker 9>What I'm saying is it's not just victims' names that

340
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:23.960
<v Speaker 9>they've redacted.

341
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:28.079
<v Speaker 2>And how can we get those names then? Like the

342
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:29.200
<v Speaker 2>public generally.

343
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.720
<v Speaker 9>Well, I'm hopeful that DJ will release them now that

344
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:33.960
<v Speaker 9>I pointed it out to them.

345
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:36.440
<v Speaker 8>They could. We've either got to say, Okay, we made

346
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.160
<v Speaker 8>a mistake. Well we're not gonna unredact.

347
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.640
<v Speaker 1>That, okay, And are you gonna be going back to

348
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:45.400
<v Speaker 1>see I know like there's there's sort of like a

349
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:47.440
<v Speaker 1>procession now of members who are going.

350
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.960
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I'm scheduled for tomorrow morning too, okay.

351
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:51.680
<v Speaker 2>And what are you looking to? What are you going

352
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.519
<v Speaker 2>to look into tomorrow that you haven't look into today?

353
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:57.559
<v Speaker 5>So it just takes a while, and there's millions of

354
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:58.799
<v Speaker 5>files still.

355
00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.000
<v Speaker 8>I've still got files up my list to look at

356
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:02.160
<v Speaker 8>it than.

357
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, it all began with a question, Jerry Mendler. It's

358
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:13.680
<v Speaker 2>amazing this dumpty dumpty like character and to see these

359
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:19.519
<v Speaker 2>people doing it again. They can talk about the fallacies

360
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:23.319
<v Speaker 2>and the lies and the faults and the crimes of

361
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 2>the Republicans when they're out of power, they'll ignore it

362
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:30.279
<v Speaker 2>when they are in power as well. What difference does

363
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:34.200
<v Speaker 2>that make if they committed the crime, it's still a crime,

364
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.119
<v Speaker 2>even if the Democrats are going to look the other

365
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.200
<v Speaker 2>way when they do it. So, Jerry Nadler presented her

366
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:43.000
<v Speaker 2>with a asked her whether not the DOJ is indicted

367
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 2>or is investigating any of Epstein's alleged co conspirators, citing

368
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:53.039
<v Speaker 2>what he called concrete evidence of disgusting criminality. Bondi attempted

369
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:56.599
<v Speaker 2>to decidestep the question. When Nataler repeated it, she raised

370
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.559
<v Speaker 2>her voice and insisted she would answer the question the

371
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:02.680
<v Speaker 2>way I want to answer the question, talking over him.

372
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:07.680
<v Speaker 2>As colleagues tried to intercede. As exchange escalated, Bondi pivoted

373
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.319
<v Speaker 2>away from the from Epstein entirely and went down her

374
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>The Dow is at fifty thousand talking point, isn't that amazing?

375
00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:22.799
<v Speaker 2>And of course the you know, the back and forth

376
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:26.519
<v Speaker 2>with Ted lou where she got very nasty with him.

377
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.480
<v Speaker 2>You're not even a lawyer type of thing. That's the

378
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.720
<v Speaker 2>epathetic aspect of this. But let's stick with Massey. And

379
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.920
<v Speaker 2>this is what happened as the two of them were talking.

380
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:41.599
<v Speaker 4>Did you ask Merrick Garland that the last four years?

381
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.319
<v Speaker 2>What about Merrick Garland? Don't talk to me.

382
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 9>I'm glad you're asking about Merrick Garland.

383
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Than Water gave question.

384
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:53.920
<v Speaker 9>This goes over four administrations. You don't have to go

385
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:56.559
<v Speaker 9>back to Biden. Let's go back to Obama, Let's go

386
00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:00.440
<v Speaker 9>back to George Bush. This cover up spans decades and

387
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.599
<v Speaker 9>you are responsible for this.

388
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:03.200
<v Speaker 8>Portion of it.

389
00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.680
<v Speaker 9>And I want to know at what point, at what

390
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:10.799
<v Speaker 9>point did the FBI and the dj decide that Lex

391
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:15.319
<v Speaker 9>Westerner was not a co conspirator? Because our Epstein Files

392
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.480
<v Speaker 9>Transparency Act requires you please put it back on the screen.

393
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:24.000
<v Speaker 9>He's to release the internal decision about whether to prosecute

394
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 9>him or not. And it's not in the files, and

395
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:28.240
<v Speaker 9>it's not in the files for any.

396
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.839
<v Speaker 8>Of these other men of the gentleman. May she answer?

397
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:35.440
<v Speaker 4>And he's a hypocrite because he voted against the band

398
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:39.599
<v Speaker 4>that we were talking about on Deep Fake AI porn.

399
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 4>Only two people voted against it, and you.

400
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Were has nothing to do with it.

401
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 9>The gentleman's time has expired, mister chairman.

402
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:52.160
<v Speaker 8>Could she answer the question? Chairman?

403
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, again, let's pick something totally unrelated and you voted

404
00:24:58.119 --> 00:25:01.720
<v Speaker 2>against the Deep Fate porn band and it's like, yeah,

405
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:04.200
<v Speaker 2>how is that going to solve anything anyway? That has

406
00:25:04.279 --> 00:25:07.640
<v Speaker 2>nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein and what these people

407
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.079
<v Speaker 2>were doing or her cover up for them as well well,

408
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.240
<v Speaker 2>the fact that she violated the law then lied about

409
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:21.440
<v Speaker 2>violating the law as well. At the end, there is what, Yeah,

410
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:25.079
<v Speaker 2>what's going on with this? Answer the question? Just to

411
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>answer the question. So yeah, so by the end of

412
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the exchange, Bondy had not answered whether the DOJ agrees

413
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.359
<v Speaker 2>that there's no credible information about co conspirators, why a

414
00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:41.960
<v Speaker 2>document listing Wexner as a co conspirator was redacted, or

415
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:47.680
<v Speaker 2>who approved releasing victims' names while obscuring alleged abusers. The

416
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:51.440
<v Speaker 2>hearing closed with unanswered questions. A stark contrast between Democrats

417
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:56.559
<v Speaker 2>early sparring over evasions and a later bipartisan rupture that

418
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.160
<v Speaker 2>put the departments handling of the Epstein file squarely on

419
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:03.200
<v Speaker 2>the center of the kind tell you how damagingly badness was.

420
00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Even a sellout sycophant like Alex Jones criticized this and

421
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.079
<v Speaker 2>was using every swear word he could think of. He

422
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:14.359
<v Speaker 2>was so upset because his team that he's gone to

423
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.279
<v Speaker 2>bat for fell on its face. She fumbled the ball, Alex,

424
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't she? But they're just a bunch of crooks. You

425
00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 2>know that. I know that. Why'd you ever cover up

426
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:28.839
<v Speaker 2>for them? Anyway? The uh, you know, the Jamie Raskin

427
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 2>thing was your washed up loser lawyer. That's a bit

428
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:36.119
<v Speaker 2>of projection that's there, isn't it. But meanwhile, you look

429
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:39.519
<v Speaker 2>at what Breitbart does with this as I said before,

430
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:47.039
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday's show, Larry Lutnick was caught committing perjury. It

431
00:26:47.200 --> 00:26:51.240
<v Speaker 2>testified once before that he had no involvement with Epstein.

432
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:54.960
<v Speaker 2>He met him once, he said after they moved next

433
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>door to him. They went over for tea or something

434
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 2>at at lunchtime on a Saturday, and he talked about

435
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.799
<v Speaker 2>his massage table and said we thought he was pretty

436
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:09.839
<v Speaker 2>creepy and suggestive, and any window about that. We didn't

437
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:12.599
<v Speaker 2>ever want to have anything with him, that's any involvement

438
00:27:12.640 --> 00:27:14.400
<v Speaker 2>with him whatsoever, and we cut it off at that

439
00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:18.240
<v Speaker 2>point in time. Then the documents show that that's not true.

440
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:21.359
<v Speaker 2>He actually went to the island after that, so we

441
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:24.119
<v Speaker 2>actually had testified to that one thing under oath. So

442
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:26.920
<v Speaker 2>we have a commerce secretary, he's not only next to

443
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:32.319
<v Speaker 2>our neighbor friend and island visitor, but also obviously committed perjury.

444
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 2>So what is Breitbart's reaction to this? They immediately bring

445
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:38.920
<v Speaker 2>him in for a special interview, and some of the

446
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:42.319
<v Speaker 2>things he had to say have more to do not

447
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:44.200
<v Speaker 2>just with the corruption, but with things that are going

448
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:48.039
<v Speaker 2>to actually harm us. So watch live. Bright Bart News

449
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:52.039
<v Speaker 2>hosts a commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, for a policy discussion.

450
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:54.839
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I just thought it was really funny the way

451
00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:58.200
<v Speaker 3>that he tried to spin it was. Oh no, I

452
00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:01.359
<v Speaker 3>really was disgusted by this guy who was talking about

453
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:03.599
<v Speaker 3>his massage table and all that. But when I went

454
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:05.559
<v Speaker 3>to the island, it was with my kids. My kids

455
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:07.920
<v Speaker 3>were there with me. I brought them to go see

456
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:09.680
<v Speaker 3>the creepy massage table guy.

457
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, it doesn't they're not even good liars right,

458
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.359
<v Speaker 2>let alone lawyers. As everyone else is calling for him

459
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:21.400
<v Speaker 2>to be impeached, Breitbart has them on for a live

460
00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:25.880
<v Speaker 2>policy discussion as if again, let's talk about the fifty

461
00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:28.160
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars. Now, you know, we can make a lot

462
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:29.920
<v Speaker 2>of it. Let's forget about all the stuff with the

463
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:32.680
<v Speaker 2>kiddies and everything else. This guy can make us a

464
00:28:32.759 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 2>lot of money. He can help America somehow. And yet

465
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.920
<v Speaker 2>if you look at his policies, that's not there either.

466
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:44.720
<v Speaker 2>But notice how these people, whether it's Pambondy or whether

467
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:49.200
<v Speaker 2>it's Breitbart, they grabbed this ring of the stock market

468
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.720
<v Speaker 2>or the promise of money, and they don't care about

469
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the pedophile ring. They're going for the golden ring. And

470
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.119
<v Speaker 2>so one of the things that he says is that

471
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:03.000
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have automated manufacturing coming to America. And

472
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:06.519
<v Speaker 2>I said this in twenty seventeen when Trump did the

473
00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.759
<v Speaker 2>tax cut. Andy, so that's going to reshore all these

474
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:14.279
<v Speaker 2>different manufacturing things that have gone to other countries. I said, no,

475
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.880
<v Speaker 2>it's not. And you know, I remember dryl Centy and

476
00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 2>I talking about it, how it was going. He was

477
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:20.359
<v Speaker 2>His big thing was, yes, it's just going to be

478
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.720
<v Speaker 2>stock buybacks for the corporations to do that, and it

479
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 2>really was. It was a windfall for all of them.

480
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:28.240
<v Speaker 2>It's absolutely amazing. And I said, yeah, they're not going

481
00:29:28.240 --> 00:29:31.960
<v Speaker 2>to bring back any manufacturing until they get their mechanical

482
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:37.680
<v Speaker 2>slaves or robots. And again the robots are not necessarily

483
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the biped robots that are going to be carrying around

484
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:45.039
<v Speaker 2>things like the humans would do. But it's also when

485
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:47.839
<v Speaker 2>you look at the all the other aspects of automation.

486
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Amazon's got a tremendous amount of robots already

487
00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:55.599
<v Speaker 2>automating the process, going around and just look like rumbas,

488
00:29:55.599 --> 00:30:00.880
<v Speaker 2>and they go under a particularly restocking what they've got

489
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.359
<v Speaker 2>on the shelves and picking stuff off of the shelves.

490
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:05.720
<v Speaker 2>You don't have to have something looks like a human

491
00:30:05.799 --> 00:30:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to do that, and so it's going to be a

492
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:14.279
<v Speaker 2>capital intensive thing. They'll get a lot of tax breaks,

493
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:19.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe even they'll get subsidies from the from the federal

494
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.960
<v Speaker 2>government if they change the federal government more like Trump

495
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.480
<v Speaker 2>wants at his model of economic fascism, where it's actually

496
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:30.880
<v Speaker 2>a partnership between the people running the government, just like

497
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:34.400
<v Speaker 2>communists China, the partnership between the people running the government

498
00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:36.359
<v Speaker 2>and the people have the corporations as the two of

499
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:40.680
<v Speaker 2>them merge. But he says, the automated manufacturing is coming

500
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:44.640
<v Speaker 2>to America and it's perfect for us. We gotta get

501
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:48.559
<v Speaker 2>his voice on here, because he's got this gangster rough

502
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:52.000
<v Speaker 2>voice that's there, and he really is a gangster I think. Anyway,

503
00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:54.680
<v Speaker 2>it's perfect for America because we don't want to have

504
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:58.680
<v Speaker 2>any Americans working in the higher paying factory jobs. Right

505
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 2>want to have robots or h one B visa foreigners

506
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.319
<v Speaker 2>come in. That's really what we want. He said. There's

507
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:09.960
<v Speaker 2>some things that should be made overseas, sandals, cheap T shirts,

508
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 2>and we're cool with that. You can do an enormous

509
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>amount of manufacturing domestically, he said, using advanced robotics, not people.

510
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:22.839
<v Speaker 2>You know, we don't want people getting we don't want

511
00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:25.240
<v Speaker 2>people getting high paying jobs or anything like that. We

512
00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:27.440
<v Speaker 2>don't want to when we have things that have a

513
00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of value, we don't want to pass that on

514
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:34.599
<v Speaker 2>to employees. We're want to keep all those profits ourselves.

515
00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:37.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's really telling how he's like, yes, sandals, we

516
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.960
<v Speaker 3>don't want Americans making sandals. That's beneath us to make

517
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.400
<v Speaker 3>sandals and t shirts those things that actual people are making.

518
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Just have the Asians make those and we'll pay them

519
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:54.039
<v Speaker 3>for that and import that. But you know, us the

520
00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:57.440
<v Speaker 3>owners of these factories, that we can get the machines

521
00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:59.480
<v Speaker 3>to the stuff that we need.

522
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Leader, right, it's always been a big part of the

523
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:06.920
<v Speaker 2>China price, right, has been slavery, you know, and slave

524
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:09.559
<v Speaker 2>wages and things like that. Well, that is actually what

525
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Robot means. It's the check word for slave's mechanical.

526
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:15.960
<v Speaker 3>So it shows that he's not interested in actually bring

527
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.119
<v Speaker 3>out the actual manufacturing to Americans.

528
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's right. Yeah, close your eyes. Just think of

529
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>a modern auto plant, you know, with the arm that

530
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:27.759
<v Speaker 2>goes out and drills like that. You know, that's his thing.

531
00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 2>He's he's such an intellectualistic anyway. Breitbart exclusive. He also

532
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:39.960
<v Speaker 2>wants to bring pharmaceutical manufacturing home to America. Four hundred

533
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:44.000
<v Speaker 2>billion dollars worth of pharmaceutical manufacturing, he said, Yeah, poison

534
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:47.440
<v Speaker 2>those people as well. Don't pay him, poison him. They'll

535
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:51.079
<v Speaker 2>own nothing and they'll be poisoned. Yeah. Pay no attention

536
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.200
<v Speaker 2>to the desperate attempt to protect and cover up satanic

537
00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:00.400
<v Speaker 2>pedophile rings. The economy is doing great, that's the bottom line.

538
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:03.079
<v Speaker 2>That's what Breitbart will tell you, That's what Pam Bondi

539
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:05.279
<v Speaker 2>will tell you, That's what the geop will tell you.

540
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:12.279
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't matter about satanic pedophile rings and satanic child

541
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.279
<v Speaker 2>abuse and so forth. That doesn't matter. We can all

542
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:19.519
<v Speaker 2>get rich. It's just what we need. It's more billionaires

543
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:23.240
<v Speaker 2>poisoning us as they rape our children. We're going to

544
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:25.599
<v Speaker 2>get cheaper drugs in America. They're going to be made

545
00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:27.880
<v Speaker 2>here as well. I expect we're going to have four

546
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred billion dollars of on shoring of pharmaceuticals. Generally speaking,

547
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:38.359
<v Speaker 2>said Lutnik to Breitbart. For name brand drugs like Ozimbic, Manjarro,

548
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:41.559
<v Speaker 2>things like that, we produce seventy five percent of their

549
00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:44.680
<v Speaker 2>revenue and one hundred percent of their profits. Right, because

550
00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 2>we are we are the big pay We pay one

551
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:51.200
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars. Everybody else pays one hundred and fifty bucks.

552
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Why is that? Why is that? And why is it

553
00:33:55.319 --> 00:34:01.400
<v Speaker 2>that Trump through tens of billions of dollars at Moderna

554
00:34:01.640 --> 00:34:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and Pfizer to make the mRNA vaccines and continues to

555
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:09.440
<v Speaker 2>do that. And they do that, they grease the skids

556
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:13.800
<v Speaker 2>for them in terms of approval, and then they turn

557
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 2>around in gratitude they screw us to the wall. In

558
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:20.519
<v Speaker 2>terms of price. We pay many many times more than

559
00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:23.159
<v Speaker 2>everybody else. That's according to him, it's about factor of ten.

560
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:27.599
<v Speaker 2>Why is that? Well, they have this thing called most

561
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Favored Nation. You would think that the nation that paid

562
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.199
<v Speaker 2>for the development costs of one of the most profitable

563
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Speaker 2>products they've ever had, the Trump shot, You would think

564
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.280
<v Speaker 2>that we get some favors back from them, But no,

565
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.760
<v Speaker 2>they act like they're a country. And so you know,

566
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:48.960
<v Speaker 2>countries have most Favored Nation status in terms of trade,

567
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:54.159
<v Speaker 2>but pharmaceutical companies do as well. It's just they don't

568
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:58.199
<v Speaker 2>favor us. They exploit us. And he wants to be

569
00:34:58.199 --> 00:35:00.480
<v Speaker 2>a part of that. He wants to as long as

570
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:03.199
<v Speaker 2>he can get a piece of it. With Trump RX

571
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:04.760
<v Speaker 2>they're all for that.

572
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.800
<v Speaker 3>And I kind of misspoke of r I was saying

573
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:10.559
<v Speaker 3>that comment on it. Well, I mean is when you

574
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:14.400
<v Speaker 3>talk about automated manufacturing, the only reason that people would

575
00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:18.199
<v Speaker 3>want automated manufacturing is for things like sandals and T shirts.

576
00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 3>But he's saying that cheap stuff. Let's just leave that

577
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:24.440
<v Speaker 3>to the slaves. You know, we'll have automated manufacturing for

578
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:28.159
<v Speaker 3>the stuff that is actually made in America currently a

579
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:30.920
<v Speaker 3>few things and a few more. We'll have you know,

580
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:33.960
<v Speaker 3>our factories doing that, and maybe they'll be on American soil,

581
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.320
<v Speaker 3>maybe not. It's just whoever gives us the power plants

582
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.599
<v Speaker 3>and most water that would have gone to the citizens.

583
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely right, because already we're getting our sandals and

584
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:45.599
<v Speaker 2>T shirts from abroad. So he's going to use the

585
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.000
<v Speaker 2>automation to take American jobs, is what he's saying. You're

586
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:52.360
<v Speaker 2>absolutely right. Democrats and one Republican accused Bondy of ignoring

587
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the victims. You're not showing a lot of interest in

588
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:58.679
<v Speaker 2>the victims, is that, Jeremy Raskin? Where there's at Epstein's

589
00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:02.480
<v Speaker 2>human trafficking ring, or or if it's the homicidal government

590
00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:06.840
<v Speaker 2>violence against citizens in Minneapolis. A attorney general, you are

591
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:10.400
<v Speaker 2>siding with purpse and you're ignoring the victims. And she

592
00:36:10.480 --> 00:36:13.360
<v Speaker 2>is also siding with the criminals because she doesn't want

593
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:16.760
<v Speaker 2>law abiding people to have guns. That is throughout the

594
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Trump Administration's not just her, it's also people like Janine Perrot.

595
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:24.239
<v Speaker 2>The attorney general accused Democrats of only caring about the

596
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 2>issue because Trump is in the White House. Well, she

597
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:30.920
<v Speaker 2>doesn't care about the issue because Trump is in the

598
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:33.920
<v Speaker 2>White House. That's the bottom line. Rasking demanded to one

599
00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:36.639
<v Speaker 2>of those back and forth the Judiciary Chairman, Jim Jordan,

600
00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:41.519
<v Speaker 2>restore time. And that was another shouting match that they

601
00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:45.960
<v Speaker 2>got into. Anyway, that's the point at which she called

602
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:48.320
<v Speaker 2>him a washed up, loser lawyer, not even a lawyer.

603
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:52.760
<v Speaker 2>And so she said, you should all be apologizing. You

604
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>set here and you attack the president, and I'm not

605
00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:58.199
<v Speaker 2>going to have it. I'm not going to put up

606
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:01.480
<v Speaker 2>with it. Yeah, this is her three D approach, the

607
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:07.199
<v Speaker 2>typical Trump three D. It's not Chess's checkers, deny, distract,

608
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:13.880
<v Speaker 2>divert and always lie. None of them, asked Merrick Garland,

609
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:15.880
<v Speaker 2>over the last four years, one word about Epstein, How

610
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:21.079
<v Speaker 2>ironic is that you know, why because Trump? Why are

611
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.000
<v Speaker 2>they coming out? Why is it a big deal with Trump?

612
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Then with a MAGA people, Well, it's because Trump campaigned

613
00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:28.239
<v Speaker 2>on releasing these files.

614
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:33.239
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so he wasn't talking about it during the Biden administration.

615
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:35.480
<v Speaker 3>That was a huge part of his campaign.

616
00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:41.239
<v Speaker 2>That's right. And Trump was also this pedophile's best friend

617
00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:46.039
<v Speaker 2>for fifteen years. That's another issue as well. So anyway,

618
00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the it goes on and on, but I'm gonna going

619
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.760
<v Speaker 2>to move on to something else here. Bondi used her

620
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:56.119
<v Speaker 2>time to draw attention to how Democrats and their donors

621
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:59.000
<v Speaker 2>that associated with Epstein for years. We're not going to

622
00:37:59.039 --> 00:38:02.480
<v Speaker 2>talk about Trump associating with them for years, right, See

623
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.920
<v Speaker 2>the double standard that's there, And I say send them

624
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:10.880
<v Speaker 2>all to jail, but they use that as an excuse. Well,

625
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:13.960
<v Speaker 2>you got some Democrats associated with him, So now that

626
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 2>means that you know, because this guy saw him a

627
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:22.440
<v Speaker 2>half dozen times, now doesn't mean And now it means

628
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:26.119
<v Speaker 2>that for all those disgusting parties and beauty contests that

629
00:38:26.360 --> 00:38:28.920
<v Speaker 2>he and Jeffrey Epstein did together, that Trump did with

630
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:32.039
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Epstein, now you don't get to look at any

631
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:35.599
<v Speaker 2>of that. You know, we've have now declared Trump to

632
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:41.639
<v Speaker 2>be Epstein free. It's absolutely amazing the nonsense logic behind

633
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:45.079
<v Speaker 2>all this stuff. And again Breitbart, again, the only thing

634
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:48.760
<v Speaker 2>they had about Bondi was the fact that this Brandon

635
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Gill guy says, well, what about the Biden Harris Department

636
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.480
<v Speaker 2>of Justice and their weaponizing of the justice system. That's

637
00:38:55.480 --> 00:39:00.760
<v Speaker 2>the headline on Breitbart. He asked her about several instances

638
00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 2>in which the Biden Harris Department of Justice weaponized the

639
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.199
<v Speaker 2>justice system. So now she can weaponize the justice system.

640
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:11.360
<v Speaker 2>You see every criminal act of the Democrats did. Now

641
00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.480
<v Speaker 2>it can be done by the Republicans, and vice versa.

642
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:18.039
<v Speaker 2>The Democrats will play the same game when they get

643
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:21.639
<v Speaker 2>back in power, which probably won't be too long, they'll say, well,

644
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.440
<v Speaker 2>we can do that because Trump did. They already did

645
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:26.679
<v Speaker 2>it with gun control by executive order. So he said,

646
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.599
<v Speaker 2>this is the way this thing ran with Gill, he said, so,

647
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.519
<v Speaker 2>did the Biden Harris Department of Justice allow Jack Smith

648
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:36.960
<v Speaker 2>to spy on a dozen Republican members of Congress? Bondy absolutely,

649
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.760
<v Speaker 2>did the Biden Harris Department of Justice seize the phone

650
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:44.920
<v Speaker 2>of a sitting Republican congressman, Bondi said, yes, see how

651
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.960
<v Speaker 2>it works, and so now you can do all this stuff.

652
00:39:48.880 --> 00:39:50.880
<v Speaker 2>And he said, thank you for returning the Department of

653
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Justice back to its core focus, which is on the

654
00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:58.719
<v Speaker 2>rule of law. Are you serious? Are you serious? How cynical?

655
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:05.280
<v Speaker 2>That is so? Jerry Nadler attacking Attorney General Bondi over

656
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:11.119
<v Speaker 2>Epstein while his colleague, Representative Plaskett was using Jeffrey Epstein

657
00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:15.840
<v Speaker 2>as a confidant an advisor is the height of hypocrisy,

658
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:19.039
<v Speaker 2>That's what the Republicans are saying. So let me get

659
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:25.119
<v Speaker 2>this straight. He contacted him as a confident, confidant and

660
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:30.679
<v Speaker 2>as advisor, but Trump as his party pal. We don't

661
00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:34.599
<v Speaker 2>want to pay attention to that. And the Republicans want

662
00:40:34.639 --> 00:40:36.920
<v Speaker 2>to pay attention to the Clintons, but they don't want

663
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:40.840
<v Speaker 2>to pay attention to Trump. I say, put them both

664
00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:44.239
<v Speaker 2>in jail. And I say that. I point this out

665
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:47.519
<v Speaker 2>because you just need to understand what Breitbart has become.

666
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:53.079
<v Speaker 2>It is one of the most dishonest of all the

667
00:40:53.119 --> 00:40:55.400
<v Speaker 2>news media. And I mean that whether you're talking about

668
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:59.519
<v Speaker 2>alternative media or mainstream media. I don't see anybody lower

669
00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:03.320
<v Speaker 2>than Bright. It's absolutely amazing. Well, masseew accused Bondi of

670
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:07.320
<v Speaker 2>criminal negligence in the Epstein release, the crime being that

671
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:11.320
<v Speaker 2>she violated this law that was specifically passed by Congress

672
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:16.800
<v Speaker 2>to stop this kind of cover up. And so Massey said,

673
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying not to be apathetic and subscribe to the

674
00:41:20.840 --> 00:41:23.400
<v Speaker 2>memes that say you're not going to vote your way

675
00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:25.679
<v Speaker 2>out of this. But I want to point out that

676
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:30.039
<v Speaker 2>Americans voted for four different administrations and they're all part

677
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.679
<v Speaker 2>of the Jeffrey Epstein cover up. And you could see

678
00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:35.719
<v Speaker 2>her her only concern, you know, when he mentioned, yeah,

679
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:38.800
<v Speaker 2>this goes through several different administrations. Yeah, yeah, yeah, see,

680
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:42.159
<v Speaker 2>it's not Trump at all. That's her only concern. You

681
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:45.840
<v Speaker 2>could see in her reaction to what Massey said. She

682
00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:49.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't care anything about getting these people who had committed

683
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:54.480
<v Speaker 2>these crimes. Her only concern is to protect Donald Trump.

684
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:57.960
<v Speaker 2>It's absolutely disgusting. It's true.

685
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:01.920
<v Speaker 3>She was yelling at him until he brought up someone else,

686
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:03.079
<v Speaker 3>and then she goes quite.

687
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:12.719
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, yeah, seeing amazing. Yeah, let's play that again.

688
00:42:12.760 --> 00:42:14.960
<v Speaker 2>As a matter of fact, did you.

689
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Ask Merrick Garland that the last four years we talk

690
00:42:18.800 --> 00:42:19.599
<v Speaker 4>about Epstein.

691
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:23.159
<v Speaker 9>I'm glad you're asking about Merrick Garland.

692
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.960
<v Speaker 2>This is bigger than water Gay, this shut up.

693
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:31.480
<v Speaker 9>Administrations. You don't have to go back to Biden. Let's

694
00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:33.800
<v Speaker 9>go back to Obama, Let's go back to George Bush.

695
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:38.360
<v Speaker 9>This cover up spans decades, and you are responsible for

696
00:42:38.480 --> 00:42:39.440
<v Speaker 9>this portion of it.

697
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:41.000
<v Speaker 7>And that's I want to know.

698
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:45.519
<v Speaker 2>At what Yeah, they started talking over him again. Yeah,

699
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:47.599
<v Speaker 2>tell people how other people did this, because now I'm

700
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:50.400
<v Speaker 2>exonerated because of the what about ism? I'm covered under

701
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:53.800
<v Speaker 2>the what aboutism clause? What about these other three administrations?

702
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Even though I'm committing a crime, I'm now exonerated. Disgusting,

703
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely gusting. So she called him a failed politician with

704
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Trump derangement syndrome. I think she's the one who's got

705
00:43:09.079 --> 00:43:13.880
<v Speaker 2>the derangement syndrome. She is the one who's got a psychosis,

706
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:18.559
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure. So they're being sued, as I said before,

707
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:22.480
<v Speaker 2>for strong arming tech companies to target people who are

708
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:26.519
<v Speaker 2>monitoring ICE. That's not a crime. She hates the First Amendment,

709
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:32.039
<v Speaker 2>she hates the Second Amendment. She loves pedophiles. What else

710
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:36.880
<v Speaker 2>can we say? You know, Brandon Smith of Alt Market

711
00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:38.800
<v Speaker 2>I liked what he had to say again about the

712
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:42.079
<v Speaker 2>psychology of evil. He said, you know, conspiracy theorists are

713
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:46.719
<v Speaker 2>almost always right. We've improven right again time and again,

714
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:48.679
<v Speaker 2>and we'll continue to be right about many things that

715
00:43:48.719 --> 00:43:52.639
<v Speaker 2>corporate media used to call fringe. And why is that?

716
00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:57.719
<v Speaker 2>It's because we are looking at the operation of individuals

717
00:43:57.719 --> 00:44:00.519
<v Speaker 2>that are there. He says, globalists first and or most

718
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:06.960
<v Speaker 2>are an occult network of organized psychopaths. And we look

719
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:09.119
<v Speaker 2>at that, you look at the bigger picture of this.

720
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:11.840
<v Speaker 2>One of these people's motives in terms of doing this,

721
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:14.840
<v Speaker 2>what can we say? Just like with Pambondi, her motives

722
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:21.000
<v Speaker 2>are very transparent what she's doing there. Psychopaths seek out

723
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:26.960
<v Speaker 2>people with psychopathic traits like them, They recruit, they grow

724
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 2>their numbers. And remember, you know, I've talked to John

725
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Kyaku many times. He said, the CIA is always looking

726
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:38.039
<v Speaker 2>for sociopaths. They don't really want to hire you if

727
00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:41.119
<v Speaker 2>you're not a sociopath. And he said, they want you

728
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:44.039
<v Speaker 2>to get right up to the line of psychopaths, but

729
00:44:44.440 --> 00:44:47.760
<v Speaker 2>hopefully not over that. But that's really what they're looking for.

730
00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:52.119
<v Speaker 2>CIA is one of those organizations that seeks out psychopaths.

731
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:55.280
<v Speaker 2>He points out from the mafia, to violent drug cartels,

732
00:44:55.280 --> 00:45:00.239
<v Speaker 2>to religious cults to authoritarian governments, we have seen psychopaths

733
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:05.679
<v Speaker 2>congregate together and cooperate in the worst moments of our timeline.

734
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.360
<v Speaker 2>And again, the CIA checks almost all those boxes. We're

735
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:14.239
<v Speaker 2>talking about mafia, drug cartels, or authoritarian governments, probably even

736
00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:17.800
<v Speaker 2>as religious cults. There's a lot of evidence that the

737
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:21.079
<v Speaker 2>intelligence agencies that are there are heavily evolved in the

738
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:24.679
<v Speaker 2>occult right, remote viewing, and a lot of other really

739
00:45:24.679 --> 00:45:28.039
<v Speaker 2>strange things that they do. They think it's real. So anyway,

740
00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Epstein, he says, was not the top of the pyramid.

741
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:35.079
<v Speaker 2>He was also not some self serving flim flam man

742
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:38.320
<v Speaker 2>selling sex and depravity just to gain access to the

743
00:45:38.360 --> 00:45:42.719
<v Speaker 2>halls of power. Rather, he was a middleman, a drug dealer,

744
00:45:42.800 --> 00:45:46.239
<v Speaker 2>selling dopamine experiences as a reward for members of the

745
00:45:46.239 --> 00:45:49.920
<v Speaker 2>cabal while collecting the blackmail materials. But the cabal is

746
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:51.840
<v Speaker 2>far bigger than what we see in the Epstein files,

747
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and it supersedes any one nation or government. There are

748
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:01.199
<v Speaker 2>strange mentionings of clonings, of baby farming, black market sales,

749
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:04.880
<v Speaker 2>of the creation of a superior race in the files.

750
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:08.039
<v Speaker 2>In other words, the interests of Epstein and his associates

751
00:46:08.039 --> 00:46:12.199
<v Speaker 2>went far beyond sexual fetishes, and this is why it

752
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:16.719
<v Speaker 2>is so disgusting to see people like Pambondy, Cash Betel

753
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and Donald Trump covering this stuff up. There's real evil

754
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:24.960
<v Speaker 2>at the core of this, and it shows us that

755
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:29.199
<v Speaker 2>they are part of that evil. As he points out,

756
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:32.960
<v Speaker 2>some of the Epstein emails openly discussed sexual abuse and

757
00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:36.400
<v Speaker 2>torture of victims brought to the island. From Pizzagate information

758
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:39.760
<v Speaker 2>released by WikiLeaks in twenty sixteen, we can see that

759
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:43.320
<v Speaker 2>food code words are common for the globalists and seem

760
00:46:43.360 --> 00:46:46.800
<v Speaker 2>to be tied to the abuse of young children. Pizza

761
00:46:46.840 --> 00:46:50.119
<v Speaker 2>symbolism has been common within pedophilia networks for many years

762
00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:54.360
<v Speaker 2>leading up to the exposure of Pizzagate. Is also common

763
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:56.679
<v Speaker 2>within the pages of the Epstein files. The word pizza

764
00:46:56.719 --> 00:46:59.840
<v Speaker 2>is used as a code at least nine hundred times

765
00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:04.920
<v Speaker 2>in the emails. As a matter of fact, Ben Swan

766
00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:08.159
<v Speaker 2>got into the Pizzagate stuff when it was first put

767
00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:09.559
<v Speaker 2>out there, and I saw that. He put up another

768
00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:12.719
<v Speaker 2>video where he says, I've been vinegated vindicated. Now look

769
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:16.280
<v Speaker 2>at these upstairs. Nine hundred times it's mentioned here. He goes, Yeah,

770
00:47:16.320 --> 00:47:18.760
<v Speaker 2>this stuff is real. There's a lot of disinformation that

771
00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:23.119
<v Speaker 2>people jumped into that was sensational, and of course that

772
00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:25.159
<v Speaker 2>is the way the stuff always gets shut down. You

773
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:29.239
<v Speaker 2>have people who are basically control ops to shut this

774
00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:31.400
<v Speaker 2>stuff down. What they do is they put out just

775
00:47:31.440 --> 00:47:33.480
<v Speaker 2>as we've seen over and over again with Steve Achenick

776
00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:35.760
<v Speaker 2>about so many different things. They have people like Steve

777
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:38.639
<v Speaker 2>Achenick who will put out lies in and around a

778
00:47:38.679 --> 00:47:43.239
<v Speaker 2>particular event, and then when that gets reported, that gets

779
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:47.480
<v Speaker 2>something that is sensational, and because it's false, easily disproven,

780
00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:50.559
<v Speaker 2>they use that to disprove the entire thing. That's the

781
00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:53.559
<v Speaker 2>way it's always been done. And so now we see

782
00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:56.480
<v Speaker 2>with this that yes, the Pizza Gate stuff not necessarily

783
00:47:56.800 --> 00:48:02.599
<v Speaker 2>that particular pizza parlor or whatever, but was evidence that

784
00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:05.159
<v Speaker 2>of exactly what they were doing. And it's back again here.

785
00:48:05.760 --> 00:48:09.480
<v Speaker 2>But there's something else that's there is, as Smith points out,

786
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the use of beef jerky and the Epstein emails mentioned

787
00:48:14.119 --> 00:48:20.039
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of times specifically disconcerting considering, including talk of keeping

788
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:24.519
<v Speaker 2>quote the jerky on ice unquote, So when do you

789
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:26.920
<v Speaker 2>do that? When do you keep beef jerkey on ice?

790
00:48:27.599 --> 00:48:32.599
<v Speaker 2>A strange obsession with jerky portion weights with lab testing

791
00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:37.400
<v Speaker 2>of jerky in order to prevent sickness et cetera. Whatever

792
00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:41.559
<v Speaker 2>they're talking about, it's not jerky. You have to ask

793
00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:44.360
<v Speaker 2>yourself what kind of edible product would be so criminal

794
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:49.280
<v Speaker 2>that it has to be hidden behind elaborate code speak. Well,

795
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.119
<v Speaker 2>the obvious conclusion would be that jerky is code for

796
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:55.239
<v Speaker 2>human meat. So I might argue that there's no benefits

797
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:58.599
<v Speaker 2>seating human meat, so why would the elites do it? Well,

798
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:02.320
<v Speaker 2>the critics are operating from a logical perspective, not from

799
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:07.159
<v Speaker 2>the perspective of the occultist. One can't separate Epstein Island

800
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:11.639
<v Speaker 2>from occultism and still understand what happened there. And he

801
00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:17.000
<v Speaker 2>makes a distinction between Luciferianism and Satanism. The Satanists occupied

802
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:20.119
<v Speaker 2>with the pursuit of pleasure, of the expensive morality, while

803
00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Luciferians are occupied with the pursuit of power, so power

804
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:29.920
<v Speaker 2>versus pleasure. But they both say do as thou wilt.

805
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And it is psychopathic in the sense that it has

806
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:39.039
<v Speaker 2>no empathy for anyone else, and it functions as essentially

807
00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:42.199
<v Speaker 2>a parasitic cult on the rest of humanity. He points

808
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:45.920
<v Speaker 2>out that if they weren't such a small percentage of

809
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.000
<v Speaker 2>the human race, there wouldn't be anything left. He said,

810
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the majority of us have though a mechanism called conscience,

811
00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:57.159
<v Speaker 2>which either stops us from committing evil most of the time,

812
00:49:57.199 --> 00:49:59.880
<v Speaker 2>it also causes us to feel guilt. We know that

813
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:02.920
<v Speaker 2>we've acted in a destructive manner. If the majority of

814
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the population didn't have that, we would have gone extinct.

815
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:12.360
<v Speaker 2>But the psychopaths, the globalists don't have this mechanism. In fact,

816
00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:16.239
<v Speaker 2>they think the conscience is a hindrance, It is a

817
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:23.039
<v Speaker 2>sign of weakness, and that people have it are easily victimized.

818
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:26.280
<v Speaker 2>This is a predatory class of humans. And this is

819
00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:29.800
<v Speaker 2>something you see from criminals in every regard. I mean,

820
00:50:29.800 --> 00:50:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I've seen this over and over again in people who

821
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:37.960
<v Speaker 2>are scheming about how they can do something to somebody.

822
00:50:38.280 --> 00:50:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Truly is amazing to watch these people in operation. Well,

823
00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Pambondi unmasked a dark truth about the Trump administration with

824
00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:53.400
<v Speaker 2>these theatrics, says Daniel Hampton. And the one thing you

825
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:55.760
<v Speaker 2>got wrong about that is it's the Trump regime. It's

826
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:00.840
<v Speaker 2>not an administration. It's just a power regime. People are

827
00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:06.719
<v Speaker 2>the Luciferians. During her congressional hearing this week, Epstein survivors

828
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:11.360
<v Speaker 2>set behind Bondi unacknowledged and irrelevant to her purposes as

829
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:15.039
<v Speaker 2>she performed for the cameras. That is the way it

830
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:20.280
<v Speaker 2>was described by Dahlia Lithwick and escathing analysis for Slate

831
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:25.039
<v Speaker 2>in which Lithwick said that Bondie's testimony wasn't about justice

832
00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:28.079
<v Speaker 2>or accountability. It's about a woman who knows that she

833
00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:32.800
<v Speaker 2>has to seek and maintain protection, and so she says

834
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:35.719
<v Speaker 2>the She crows about the dow Jones before the cameras

835
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:38.719
<v Speaker 2>because she understands that if she doesn't, she will be

836
00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:43.639
<v Speaker 2>left behind. What Bondi and Trump and Lutnik and Blanche

837
00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:46.559
<v Speaker 2>are doing under the banner of law and law enforcement

838
00:51:46.599 --> 00:51:51.159
<v Speaker 2>and pardons and immunity and impunity is an operatic performance

839
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:54.639
<v Speaker 2>of a single truth that the law will now protect

840
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:57.559
<v Speaker 2>those who are within the network of favors and privilege

841
00:51:57.639 --> 00:52:01.480
<v Speaker 2>and secrets and side eyes and nickers and abuse of

842
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:05.559
<v Speaker 2>young girls, and the law will abandon those who are not,

843
00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:10.079
<v Speaker 2>She said, Bondi is theatrics during her combative house hearing

844
00:52:11.480 --> 00:52:14.840
<v Speaker 2>is very similar to a protection racket. They prey on

845
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:19.000
<v Speaker 2>everyone who refuses to buckle. We should probably stop calling

846
00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:23.599
<v Speaker 2>this law and simply call it power, or maybe we

847
00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:28.440
<v Speaker 2>should just call it Luciferian It amazes me that as

848
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:30.400
<v Speaker 2>all of this stuff was happening, when we talk about

849
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:32.840
<v Speaker 2>the Christian aspects of this, we talked about the occultic

850
00:52:32.880 --> 00:52:35.679
<v Speaker 2>aspects of this. Think about as all this stuff has

851
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:38.000
<v Speaker 2>been unfolding over the last couple of weeks. Right in

852
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the middle of it, you have the Millennia movie comes out,

853
00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and it is truly amazing to see people like Robert Jeffers,

854
00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:53.119
<v Speaker 2>who has a megachurch in Dallas. Thousands of people go

855
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:57.440
<v Speaker 2>to his church and he is there talking about how

856
00:52:57.800 --> 00:53:01.519
<v Speaker 2>it was so wonderful that he was a part of

857
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:04.360
<v Speaker 2>the movie. He said, they have me in this movie,

858
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:07.159
<v Speaker 2>and I was surprised to see myself in this movie.

859
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:10.719
<v Speaker 2>But here's some of our church ladies who went to

860
00:53:10.760 --> 00:53:12.719
<v Speaker 2>the event. They even get dressed up. They went to

861
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:17.880
<v Speaker 2>the trouble of making replica Milania dresses this long white

862
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:21.440
<v Speaker 2>dress with a black zigzag on it. This is a

863
00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:24.800
<v Speaker 2>bunch of women who go to his church going to

864
00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:32.000
<v Speaker 2>celebrate this prostitute Milania Trump, an Epstein girl herself right.

865
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:37.559
<v Speaker 2>And I don't even know, I don't even know what

866
00:53:37.599 --> 00:53:41.480
<v Speaker 2>we could how we could explain this to anybody who

867
00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:43.840
<v Speaker 2>looks at it. I just have to say, folks, this

868
00:53:43.960 --> 00:53:47.440
<v Speaker 2>is not what Christianity is about. Especially, this is a

869
00:53:47.480 --> 00:53:52.440
<v Speaker 2>movie that was the comeback movie for a director who

870
00:53:52.599 --> 00:53:55.280
<v Speaker 2>had had some big films. They weren't good films, but

871
00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:58.079
<v Speaker 2>they were big budget films. And I mean, he did

872
00:53:58.079 --> 00:54:01.599
<v Speaker 2>an X Men movie other things, so they gave him

873
00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:04.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot of money. Hollywood did. But he had his

874
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:10.039
<v Speaker 2>fallout in twenty seventeen, a lot of sexual allegations. And

875
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:15.400
<v Speaker 2>here he is in the Epstein files hugging a young girl.

876
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:18.559
<v Speaker 2>He's the guy on the right. Of course, there's Jeffrey Epstein.

877
00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:21.639
<v Speaker 2>The girl's face is blacked out. Now, this is the

878
00:54:21.679 --> 00:54:27.960
<v Speaker 2>guy that jeff Bezos picked to do the Milania movie. Again,

879
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:30.639
<v Speaker 2>as I pointed out, the budgets that you typically have

880
00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:34.800
<v Speaker 2>on these documentaries, or maybe in the million dollar area

881
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:38.440
<v Speaker 2>of the entire budget, they gave her twenty eight million.

882
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:44.079
<v Speaker 2>It was a payoff. And Robert Jefferson is so excited

883
00:54:44.119 --> 00:54:47.800
<v Speaker 2>about the fact that he's in that movie. I would

884
00:54:47.800 --> 00:54:50.039
<v Speaker 2>want my name taken off of it if they put

885
00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:52.559
<v Speaker 2>me in there. Make it clear that I had nothing

886
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:55.079
<v Speaker 2>to do with that. I can't believe that he is

887
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:57.880
<v Speaker 2>pushing that so hard and pushing the people in his

888
00:54:58.000 --> 00:54:59.920
<v Speaker 2>church to go to it, and he's proud of this.

889
00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:02.920
<v Speaker 2>He puts this out that says Twitter. He's the one

890
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.519
<v Speaker 2>who put that picture out there some of our church

891
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:09.400
<v Speaker 2>ladies at the new movie Milania that includes my prayer

892
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:13.920
<v Speaker 2>for the president and the first lady. Yeah, yeah, I

893
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:19.400
<v Speaker 2>have time. I see that. I think of the Fiddler

894
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:21.480
<v Speaker 2>on the Roof. Is there a prayer for the Czar? Yes,

895
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:28.960
<v Speaker 2>God bless and keep the tzar far away from us. Anyway,

896
00:55:29.760 --> 00:55:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Lutnick again, sorry not Lutnick, but this is Lithwick who's

897
00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:37.800
<v Speaker 2>talking about Bondie's theatrics. It's nothing but a protection racket

898
00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:41.320
<v Speaker 2>that prays on everybody who's not a part of that club.

899
00:55:42.559 --> 00:55:45.800
<v Speaker 2>And again I said, Dana Lesh has no love for

900
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:51.239
<v Speaker 2>Pam Bondi because Pambondi despises the Constitution, especially at the

901
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:55.239
<v Speaker 2>Second Amendment. And so Dana Lush Lesh said, this is

902
00:55:55.239 --> 00:55:57.400
<v Speaker 2>one of the most embarrassing things I've ever witnessed from

903
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:01.000
<v Speaker 2>a lawmaker. Republicans Democrats were at asking her about Epstein

904
00:56:01.039 --> 00:56:04.239
<v Speaker 2>and the Republicans. It wasn't just Massy, You're talking about

905
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Jim Jordan, You're talking about Brandon Gill. He said, more

906
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Conservatives than Pam Bondi because they never they had never

907
00:56:11.639 --> 00:56:14.280
<v Speaker 2>been for gun control like her. If you want to

908
00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:16.840
<v Speaker 2>sit here and introduce the Dow into it, let's go

909
00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:20.320
<v Speaker 2>ahead and talk about your positions on red flag laws

910
00:56:20.639 --> 00:56:24.559
<v Speaker 2>and universal background checks. Attorney General, she was asked why

911
00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:26.920
<v Speaker 2>she has not prosecuted the people that we know who

912
00:56:26.960 --> 00:56:31.079
<v Speaker 2>are in these emails, and she tries to deflect. She's

913
00:56:31.119 --> 00:56:34.519
<v Speaker 2>not savvy enough though, to do that. She has no

914
00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:38.800
<v Speaker 2>political acumen. She's not savvy enough to take that tone

915
00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:42.280
<v Speaker 2>and try to spin it like that. It was disastrous,

916
00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:46.039
<v Speaker 2>she said. Every time she was asked a tough question,

917
00:56:46.639 --> 00:56:50.639
<v Speaker 2>she would be like, well, you have Trump derangement. The

918
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:53.760
<v Speaker 2>person who kept bringing it back to the hearing, kept

919
00:56:53.800 --> 00:56:56.159
<v Speaker 2>bringing Trump back to the hearing was her. She said

920
00:56:56.199 --> 00:56:57.880
<v Speaker 2>she was the only one that was bringing up Trump,

921
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:00.960
<v Speaker 2>but she was always Trump, this and Trump. She said,

922
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:06.199
<v Speaker 2>it was one forced air after unforced error about the

923
00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:12.039
<v Speaker 2>entire thing. Meanwhile, how does Fox News handle this? Well, crickets, Basically,

924
00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:16.559
<v Speaker 2>this is media. They went through and they totaled up

925
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the number of mentions on Wednesday morning of Jeffrey Epstein

926
00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:27.800
<v Speaker 2>as all this stuff was happening on MSNBC. They mentioned

927
00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey Epstein's name three hundred times, and three hours of

928
00:57:33.400 --> 00:57:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Attorney General Pam Bondi's House Judiciary Committee hearing CNN mentioned

929
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:41.760
<v Speaker 2>during those hearings, CNN mentioned it one hundred and fifty times.

930
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Fox mentioned it three times. Basically, they made it disappear.

931
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:51.880
<v Speaker 2>And then of course Bike barn does as they bring

932
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:56.559
<v Speaker 2>in the worst of the worst Lutnik and they start

933
00:57:56.599 --> 00:57:59.800
<v Speaker 2>talking about how he's gonna make all this money for

934
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:03.159
<v Speaker 2>America by automating everything. No jobs for the rest of us,

935
00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:07.480
<v Speaker 2>but for he and his Luciferian friends. We'll be right back.

936
00:59:43.679 --> 00:59:46.079
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the David Knight Show.

937
00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:56.960
<v Speaker 5>Whether you're feeling like the booze or bluegrass, ATS radio

<v Speaker 5>has you covered check out a wide variety of channels

<v Speaker 5>at apsradio dot com.

940
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:05.320
<v Speaker 8>Well.

941
01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:07.559
<v Speaker 2>As I said at the beginning of the program talking

942
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:12.519
<v Speaker 2>about Mike Johnson and the amazing lies that he's pulling

943
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>off here, it's it's we look at the Trump people.

944
01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:19.039
<v Speaker 2>It's almost funny if it wasn't so criminal the things

945
01:00:19.079 --> 01:00:21.840
<v Speaker 2>that they're doing. Now, what Mike Johnson is trying to

946
01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:25.119
<v Speaker 2>do is he's trying to stop other people in Congress

947
01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:30.079
<v Speaker 2>from taking back the power that Trump usurped over taxation.

948
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:33.880
<v Speaker 2>That's the key power of Congress, the power of the purse.

949
01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:37.360
<v Speaker 2>And he just declared a phony emergency. Everybody knows it's

950
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>a phony emergency. And that is before the Supreme Court

951
01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>right now. And I don't know what is taking him

952
01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>so long. It's an open and shut case, quite frankly.

953
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:48.840
<v Speaker 2>But anyway, they have people in Congress who are trying,

954
01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:51.639
<v Speaker 2>they want to be able to bring up motions on

955
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the floor and say that they're going to stop these

956
01:00:54.920 --> 01:00:59.239
<v Speaker 2>new tariffs that Trump puts in, and he's trying to

957
01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>stop it by this kind of fictional thing about how

958
01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>do you measure a day? Is not amazing. And in

959
01:01:06.639 --> 01:01:10.119
<v Speaker 2>the backdrop of all this, I can't understand why the

960
01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Supreme Court hasn't already come up with a decision on this.

961
01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Because Trump is bragging about the fact that he raised

962
01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:21.519
<v Speaker 2>tariffs on Switzerland because of the phone call from one

963
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:24.719
<v Speaker 2>of Switzerland's leaders. He says, I didn't really like the

964
01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:28.719
<v Speaker 2>way she talked to me. Isn't that amazing? That's the basis.

965
01:01:29.079 --> 01:01:32.519
<v Speaker 2>It's not something that has to do with economics, It

966
01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:35.559
<v Speaker 2>isn't anything that has to do with national security. It

967
01:01:35.639 --> 01:01:37.840
<v Speaker 2>is about the fact that he doesn't like the way

968
01:01:37.880 --> 01:01:41.880
<v Speaker 2>she talked to him. Like I said before, his geopolitical

969
01:01:43.159 --> 01:01:45.199
<v Speaker 2>planning and the things that he's doing in terms of

970
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:49.039
<v Speaker 2>geopolitics is nothing but ego politics. And these tariffs don't

971
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:55.239
<v Speaker 2>have anything to do with economics. They're egonomics. He said

972
01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:57.639
<v Speaker 2>on Tuesday that he raised tariffs on Switzerland after a

973
01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:00.519
<v Speaker 2>phone call with the country's former president, saying he didn't

974
01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:02.960
<v Speaker 2>approve of the way that she took. He said, so

975
01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:05.800
<v Speaker 2>the tariffs were at thirty percent. I really didn't like

976
01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:08.400
<v Speaker 2>the way she talked to us, so instead of giving

977
01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:11.199
<v Speaker 2>her a reduction, I raised it to thirty nine percent.

978
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:14.840
<v Speaker 2>This is exactly why you don't want somebody like this

979
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:17.239
<v Speaker 2>in the office of president. But you don't especially don't

980
01:02:17.239 --> 01:02:21.199
<v Speaker 2>want one person doing the setting the rates. This is

981
01:02:21.199 --> 01:02:23.920
<v Speaker 2>why tax rates should be and it his at tax

982
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:26.559
<v Speaker 2>by the way, in spite of their lives about that,

983
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>you want that to be done by Congress. He said,

984
01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:31.280
<v Speaker 2>she just rubbed me the wrong way. I'll be honest

985
01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:36.800
<v Speaker 2>with you. Democrats then said his comments were an admission

986
01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:40.840
<v Speaker 2>that his tariff policies are not about national security. No,

987
01:02:40.880 --> 01:02:44.599
<v Speaker 2>they're not about national security. They're not about economics. They're

988
01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>about egonomics. It's not about even the trade deficit, and

989
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>certainly isn't about making Americans great again. You know, he

990
01:02:55.039 --> 01:02:59.119
<v Speaker 2>says America, Bay doesn't say Americans. This is an America

991
01:02:59.199 --> 01:03:02.559
<v Speaker 2>without Americans being involved in it. In the case of Switzerland,

992
01:03:02.639 --> 01:03:05.719
<v Speaker 2>he increased the tariffs because, let me check my notes,

993
01:03:05.719 --> 01:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>he didn't like the way the Swiss leader quote talked

994
01:03:08.480 --> 01:03:12.480
<v Speaker 2>to me. So the Democrats in a statement, Republicans must

995
01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:19.039
<v Speaker 2>join Democrats to end this reckless behavior. I agree. The

996
01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:21.880
<v Speaker 2>US and Switzerland reached a trade agreement in November to

997
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>reduce tariffs on Swiss imports from thirty nine percent to

998
01:03:25.960 --> 01:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>fifteen percent. On Tuesday, three House Republicans joined with Democrats

999
01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>voting against banning members' ability to call snap votes to

1000
01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:39.039
<v Speaker 2>repeal the president's tariffs. So, in other words, what Speaker

1001
01:03:39.119 --> 01:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Johnson is trying to do was to stop them from

1002
01:03:43.679 --> 01:03:48.760
<v Speaker 2>having a vote to question Trump's tariffs. You can just

1003
01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>impose these things at will, according to Speaker Johnson. So

1004
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:55.840
<v Speaker 2>the three who pushed back, Yes, that's.

1005
01:03:55.679 --> 01:03:59.159
<v Speaker 3>The level of forty chesses. You insult him, and it's

1006
01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:01.119
<v Speaker 3>entirely emotional.

1007
01:04:01.679 --> 01:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's economics. So it was Thomas Massey, Kevin Kylie,

1008
01:04:05.239 --> 01:04:09.079
<v Speaker 2>and Don Bacon. Unfortunately, Don Bacon isn't coming back. He's

1009
01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:12.599
<v Speaker 2>had enough of this stuff. Trump used declarations of national

1010
01:04:12.639 --> 01:04:16.639
<v Speaker 2>emergencies again. All this stuff is phony. Yeah, I don't

1011
01:04:16.719 --> 01:04:19.400
<v Speaker 2>like how they talked to me, so I'm going to

1012
01:04:19.519 --> 01:04:22.480
<v Speaker 2>bump this up. We got a national emergency because of

1013
01:04:22.559 --> 01:04:25.119
<v Speaker 2>trade deficit. No, we don't. You know, if you want

1014
01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:28.199
<v Speaker 2>to talk about deficits being a national emergency, it is

1015
01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>the budget deficit that is a national He doesn't care

1016
01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>at all about the budget deficit, but he doesn't want

1017
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:38.280
<v Speaker 2>to have a trade deficit with anybody. Again, the guy

1018
01:04:38.280 --> 01:04:41.239
<v Speaker 2>doesn't understand economics or anything else. The Supreme Court is

1019
01:04:41.280 --> 01:04:44.679
<v Speaker 2>also considering the legality of using a provision under the

1020
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:50.639
<v Speaker 2>International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Again, this has absolutely no

1021
01:04:50.960 --> 01:04:55.199
<v Speaker 2>merit whatever. The Marquette Law School poll found that sixty

1022
01:04:55.239 --> 01:04:57.559
<v Speaker 2>three percent of respondents want the Supreme Court to restrict

1023
01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the president's authority to impose terror. So what he was

1024
01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:06.760
<v Speaker 2>doing again gets the point. Like I said, they're not

1025
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>even good liars. They're not even good. When they try

1026
01:05:10.480 --> 01:05:12.519
<v Speaker 2>to shut this stuff down. They come up with things

1027
01:05:12.559 --> 01:05:17.719
<v Speaker 2>that are absolutely insane. And that's the way it was

1028
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>characterized by many people absolutely insane, trying to pretend that

1029
01:05:21.519 --> 01:05:24.719
<v Speaker 2>a day is not a day. What a difference a

1030
01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:27.719
<v Speaker 2>day makes? Twenty four little hours almost got that to

1031
01:05:27.719 --> 01:05:32.199
<v Speaker 2>play that. Mike Johnson lost a key procedural vote Tuesday

1032
01:05:32.280 --> 01:05:34.639
<v Speaker 2>night when he tried to delay future votes on Trump's

1033
01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>ability to levy terriffs with a rule that rewrote what

1034
01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:42.599
<v Speaker 2>constitutes a day in order to delay a vote on

1035
01:05:42.639 --> 01:05:47.519
<v Speaker 2>Trump's tariff emergency. This is how sick this sycophant, Mike

1036
01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:50.760
<v Speaker 2>Johnson is. And again look at how this guy who

1037
01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:55.360
<v Speaker 2>presents himself out as a Christian, how he is doing

1038
01:05:55.400 --> 01:06:00.599
<v Speaker 2>everything he can to cover up for these pedophiles. Amazing.

1039
01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:03.480
<v Speaker 3>You see, he's just minted. It's like a sent in

1040
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:05.960
<v Speaker 3>per era. It's the day of Trump right now.

1041
01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:11.519
<v Speaker 2>That's they so each So here's what it's said in

1042
01:06:11.559 --> 01:06:15.079
<v Speaker 2>the bill. This is reading from the bill. Section number

1043
01:06:15.159 --> 01:06:18.760
<v Speaker 2>nineteen provides that each day during the period from February

1044
01:06:18.960 --> 01:06:23.000
<v Speaker 2>tenth through July thirty first to twenty twenty six shall

1045
01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:26.320
<v Speaker 2>not constitute a calendar day. Each day shall not be

1046
01:06:26.440 --> 01:06:29.639
<v Speaker 2>a calendar day for the purposes of Section two oh

1047
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:33.280
<v Speaker 2>two of the National Emergencies Act, with respect to a

1048
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:37.960
<v Speaker 2>joint resolution terminating a national emergency declared by the president.

1049
01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:43.199
<v Speaker 2>So again, why is that there. Well, they have twisted

1050
01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and inverted the Emergencies Act so many different ways. It's

1051
01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the same thing they do the Constitution all the time.

1052
01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:54.159
<v Speaker 2>They turn it inside out upside down. Congress has to

1053
01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>vote to renew each emergency declaration annually, and they have

1054
01:06:59.440 --> 01:07:03.639
<v Speaker 2>to approve a new emergency after fifteen days. So they

1055
01:07:03.639 --> 01:07:06.079
<v Speaker 2>didn't do any of that stuff. First of all, we

1056
01:07:06.199 --> 01:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>don't have an emergency. We've had trade deficits that have

1057
01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.039
<v Speaker 2>been around this amount for quite a long time. That

1058
01:07:13.239 --> 01:07:17.639
<v Speaker 2>does not constitute an emergency. And then even if it

1059
01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>were an emergency, they're supposed to have a vote within

1060
01:07:21.679 --> 01:07:25.480
<v Speaker 2>fifteen days of the new emergency. And so none of

1061
01:07:25.519 --> 01:07:28.679
<v Speaker 2>this was done. The same way that they declare war

1062
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>with Venezuela. Everything is thrown out. So again, this is

1063
01:07:33.960 --> 01:07:37.840
<v Speaker 2>worse than daylight savings time. This is a calendar day

1064
01:07:37.960 --> 01:07:42.599
<v Speaker 2>lying time. From Mike Johnson, the rule would have allowed

1065
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:48.760
<v Speaker 2>Trump's emergency declarations to stand through July by simply declaring

1066
01:07:50.360 --> 01:07:55.559
<v Speaker 2>and denying the existence of time, said Thomas Massey, and

1067
01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:58.559
<v Speaker 2>he got it exactly right. He said that the Speaker

1068
01:07:58.599 --> 01:08:02.159
<v Speaker 2>is trying to pass a resolution that literally says a

1069
01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:06.039
<v Speaker 2>day is not a day, just to avoid voting on

1070
01:08:06.119 --> 01:08:11.440
<v Speaker 2>the emergencies that underpin the tariffs. Smoke and mirrors. You know,

1071
01:08:11.559 --> 01:08:13.559
<v Speaker 2>it's lies and fraud is what. It is.

1072
01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:17.239
<v Speaker 3>So absurd you can't even joke about it. It is Yeah,

1073
01:08:18.520 --> 01:08:21.119
<v Speaker 3>that even parodies wouldn't go to.

1074
01:08:21.640 --> 01:08:24.119
<v Speaker 2>I saw this and mentioned it briefly on Wednesday, and

1075
01:08:24.159 --> 01:08:25.399
<v Speaker 2>I I got to go back and do a little

1076
01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:27.439
<v Speaker 2>bit more research on this because that just doesn't make

1077
01:08:27.439 --> 01:08:29.760
<v Speaker 2>any sense. They're going to say that, you know, calendar

1078
01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:32.520
<v Speaker 2>days are not days for you know, six months or

1079
01:08:32.560 --> 01:08:35.880
<v Speaker 2>whatever is And yeah, that's exactly what it is. Only

1080
01:08:35.960 --> 01:08:39.319
<v Speaker 2>Mike Johnson could come up with something that devious and

1081
01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:43.199
<v Speaker 2>that's stupid, and that corrupt former House.

1082
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Republican goes, well, beyond what the meaning.

1083
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Of is is, what's the meaning of days? Yeah? I

1084
01:08:49.680 --> 01:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>think they need to spell days with a daze? Right.

1085
01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:56.960
<v Speaker 2>A House Republican justin a Ash shared Massey's post and

1086
01:08:57.039 --> 01:09:00.520
<v Speaker 2>added to vote yes on this would have been absolutely insane.

1087
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:05.239
<v Speaker 2>Yet nearly every Republican voted to pretend that a day

1088
01:09:05.319 --> 01:09:08.880
<v Speaker 2>is not a day. Think about that, all but three

1089
01:09:08.920 --> 01:09:11.479
<v Speaker 2>of them and one of them not running for reelection.

1090
01:09:11.920 --> 01:09:14.159
<v Speaker 3>Two wolves and a sheep voting on what a day is.

1091
01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:22.239
<v Speaker 2>It's so crazy. It is what they will not do

1092
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:27.199
<v Speaker 2>to curry favor with Trump. It's absolutely amazing. You know,

1093
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:29.600
<v Speaker 2>they will cover up for pedophiles. They will try to

1094
01:09:29.640 --> 01:09:33.079
<v Speaker 2>redefine what a day is. Congress needs to be able

1095
01:09:33.119 --> 01:09:35.760
<v Speaker 2>to debate on tariffs, said Don Bacon, who is one

1096
01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:38.079
<v Speaker 2>of the ones, one of the three Republicans who vote

1097
01:09:38.119 --> 01:09:40.640
<v Speaker 2>against Listen, stop and think about it. You know, we had,

1098
01:09:40.680 --> 01:09:44.800
<v Speaker 2>of course, what was that it was in terms of

1099
01:09:44.800 --> 01:09:47.479
<v Speaker 2>the Epstein files, it was Thomas Massey and three women

1100
01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:53.239
<v Speaker 2>Nancy Mace Bobert and Margie Tayler Green. Well, Margie Tayler

1101
01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Green's gone. The other two voted for this stuff to

1102
01:09:55.960 --> 01:10:00.840
<v Speaker 2>redefine a day. That amazing. But Don Bacon and he said,

1103
01:10:01.079 --> 01:10:04.199
<v Speaker 2>we need to be able to debate tariffs. Tariffs have

1104
01:10:04.279 --> 01:10:07.279
<v Speaker 2>been a net negative for the economy and they are

1105
01:10:07.319 --> 01:10:11.439
<v Speaker 2>a significant tax that American consumers, manufacturers, and farmers are paying.

1106
01:10:12.039 --> 01:10:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Article one of the Constitution. Look at that he's talking about.

1107
01:10:15.039 --> 01:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>The Constitution places authority over taxes and tariffs with Congress

1108
01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:24.039
<v Speaker 2>for a reason. But for too long we've handed that

1109
01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:29.079
<v Speaker 2>authority to the executive branch. Kevin Kylie, who voted against

1110
01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:33.079
<v Speaker 2>redefining a day, said, I don't think the House should

1111
01:10:33.119 --> 01:10:35.920
<v Speaker 2>be limiting the authority of members and enlarging the power

1112
01:10:36.000 --> 01:10:39.520
<v Speaker 2>of leadership at the expense of our members, and that's

1113
01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:42.079
<v Speaker 2>what this does. So I think it's important for the

1114
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:46.359
<v Speaker 2>House as an institution to push back against this. Well,

1115
01:10:47.000 --> 01:10:50.720
<v Speaker 2>fortunately because those three Republicans joined with the Democrats, they

1116
01:10:50.720 --> 01:10:53.640
<v Speaker 2>were able to shut it down, and so it would

1117
01:10:53.640 --> 01:10:57.760
<v Speaker 2>have made it impossible to vote on Trump's tariffs until August.

1118
01:10:57.880 --> 01:11:01.039
<v Speaker 2>The same kind of stuff that Johnson would doing to

1119
01:11:01.119 --> 01:11:05.640
<v Speaker 2>try to stop any votes about the Epstein thing. So again,

1120
01:11:07.000 --> 01:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>there was one guy, a fourth guy that said he

1121
01:11:08.640 --> 01:11:10.920
<v Speaker 2>was going to do it, Tom mclennock, and there was

1122
01:11:10.920 --> 01:11:13.960
<v Speaker 2>a similar resolution back in September. He backed out of

1123
01:11:13.960 --> 01:11:15.840
<v Speaker 2>that one and backed out of this one as well.

1124
01:11:15.880 --> 01:11:21.439
<v Speaker 2>As completely spineless, as are the Guardians of the Pedophiles.

1125
01:11:21.520 --> 01:11:27.640
<v Speaker 2>The GP. Well, we had this strange report about something

1126
01:11:27.680 --> 01:11:32.560
<v Speaker 2>happening in El Paso, and it really is strange, and

1127
01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:34.439
<v Speaker 2>again we don't really know what it is. Just like

1128
01:11:34.479 --> 01:11:38.840
<v Speaker 2>you had all these strange things about drones in New

1129
01:11:38.960 --> 01:11:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Jersey and other places in the northeast. It was about

1130
01:11:43.159 --> 01:11:46.079
<v Speaker 2>a year or so ago, is before Trump became president,

1131
01:11:46.159 --> 01:11:50.319
<v Speaker 2>I think. But anyway, it is another one of those

1132
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:53.800
<v Speaker 2>deals national security. They're not going to tell you. Some

1133
01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:55.520
<v Speaker 2>people are going to play it up as UFOs, and

1134
01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:57.920
<v Speaker 2>so we've had a lot of different explanations about this.

1135
01:11:58.560 --> 01:12:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Futurism's headline was I thought the best one. You're not

1136
01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:06.199
<v Speaker 2>prepared for what actually shut down the El Paso Airport.

1137
01:12:06.359 --> 01:12:10.239
<v Speaker 2>But let's just say it involves a military mega laser

1138
01:12:10.800 --> 01:12:14.319
<v Speaker 2>shooting something down. And then that's the other part of it, right,

1139
01:12:14.439 --> 01:12:17.159
<v Speaker 2>the first of all, there's the mega laser they and

1140
01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:19.840
<v Speaker 2>they shot that down. But what they shot down, We've

1141
01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:21.880
<v Speaker 2>had a lot of different stories about what that was.

1142
01:12:21.880 --> 01:12:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Was it a drone from the cartels? That's one story

1143
01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:29.840
<v Speaker 2>that came from the White House. And then they pulled

1144
01:12:29.880 --> 01:12:31.399
<v Speaker 2>it back and said, oh no, it was just a

1145
01:12:31.399 --> 01:12:35.439
<v Speaker 2>party balloon. Don't want to alarm anybody. It's like a

1146
01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:38.800
<v Speaker 2>party balloon. You use this gigantic laser and you shut

1147
01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:42.560
<v Speaker 2>down all air traffic control for party balloon. And then

1148
01:12:42.560 --> 01:12:45.600
<v Speaker 2>you've got some people who have put up you see

1149
01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:47.760
<v Speaker 2>a little dot that's on the horizon and say it

1150
01:12:47.840 --> 01:12:50.159
<v Speaker 2>was a UFO and look there's little dots that are

1151
01:12:50.199 --> 01:12:52.319
<v Speaker 2>coming out of this. So it was a mothership UFO

1152
01:12:52.880 --> 01:12:54.760
<v Speaker 2>and they shot the laser at it. I don't know

1153
01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:56.680
<v Speaker 2>if they claim that they shot it down or not,

1154
01:12:56.720 --> 01:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>but always somebody wants to make it a flying saw.

1155
01:13:00.960 --> 01:13:03.920
<v Speaker 2>And so, according to CBS News, the bizarre airspace closure

1156
01:13:04.039 --> 01:13:10.600
<v Speaker 2>came under orders from FAA Administer Administrator Brian Bedford. Bedford

1157
01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>made the call after learning that the Pentagon planned to

1158
01:13:12.680 --> 01:13:17.359
<v Speaker 2>unleash high energy counter drone laser weapons at Fort Bliss,

1159
01:13:17.520 --> 01:13:21.600
<v Speaker 2>situated right next to the El Paso International Airport. Fox

1160
01:13:21.640 --> 01:13:24.279
<v Speaker 2>News reported that military personnel had shot down a rogue

1161
01:13:24.399 --> 01:13:27.960
<v Speaker 2>party balloon like you'd see at a child's birthday party.

1162
01:13:27.960 --> 01:13:31.039
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it was a gender reveal or something right near

1163
01:13:31.119 --> 01:13:35.760
<v Speaker 2>El Paso, after misidentifying it as a foreign drone. Whether

1164
01:13:35.840 --> 01:13:38.840
<v Speaker 2>this was done using the Pentagon's Mega laser is unclear

1165
01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>at the moment, but it would be a wild coincidence

1166
01:13:42.159 --> 01:13:46.720
<v Speaker 2>if this was not the case. And so, again further

1167
01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:49.560
<v Speaker 2>mudding the water as the Trump Administration's claims, the Pentagon

1168
01:13:49.680 --> 01:13:55.399
<v Speaker 2>had taken action disable a vague cartel drone incursion right

1169
01:13:55.439 --> 01:13:58.720
<v Speaker 2>before the airspace shut down. So You've yet to see

1170
01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:01.359
<v Speaker 2>any evidence that that is the case. But again, the

1171
01:14:01.439 --> 01:14:04.479
<v Speaker 2>UFO crowd is there as well, as we see over

1172
01:14:04.520 --> 01:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and over again. One thing that I talked about on

1173
01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday that I wanted to come back and revisit because

1174
01:14:11.000 --> 01:14:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's important is the story about AI. And

1175
01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:17.319
<v Speaker 2>there's been a lot of pushback. This is a story again,

1176
01:14:17.319 --> 01:14:20.800
<v Speaker 2>as I pointed out, it was by a AI company CEO,

1177
01:14:20.920 --> 01:14:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Matt Schumer, and his company actually is called other Side AI.

1178
01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Their product that they put out is something called hyper

1179
01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Write and it is there as an AI writing assistant,

1180
01:14:36.079 --> 01:14:39.000
<v Speaker 2>which has caused a lot of people to say, if

1181
01:14:39.039 --> 01:14:41.279
<v Speaker 2>you look at this, this is another one of these

1182
01:14:41.359 --> 01:14:44.279
<v Speaker 2>AI CEOs telling us that their product is going to

1183
01:14:44.279 --> 01:14:47.119
<v Speaker 2>be godlike and it's going to everybody's going to be

1184
01:14:47.279 --> 01:14:49.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's going to be the only thing left standing,

1185
01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:52.319
<v Speaker 2>so you better get in line and start making friends

1186
01:14:52.399 --> 01:14:54.640
<v Speaker 2>with it, and that type of thing. We've seen that

1187
01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:57.720
<v Speaker 2>over and over again going to the federal government. People

1188
01:14:57.760 --> 01:15:01.680
<v Speaker 2>like Sam Altman of questionable integrity. This is the guy

1189
01:15:01.720 --> 01:15:04.079
<v Speaker 2>who was going around not that long ago before he

1190
01:15:04.720 --> 01:15:07.960
<v Speaker 2>weaseled his way into open AI control. He had this

1191
01:15:08.199 --> 01:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>ORB and he was going to give you cryptocurrency if

1192
01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:15.079
<v Speaker 2>you let him create put you in his database that

1193
01:15:15.119 --> 01:15:17.800
<v Speaker 2>he evidently was putting together one to sell to governments,

1194
01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:20.560
<v Speaker 2>and want to have an eye scan of you. So

1195
01:15:20.600 --> 01:15:23.560
<v Speaker 2>he had this orb like a giant eyeball, and if

1196
01:15:23.560 --> 01:15:26.239
<v Speaker 2>you'd let him scan your eyeballs and put you in

1197
01:15:26.319 --> 01:15:29.199
<v Speaker 2>his biometric database, he'd give you a couple of tokens

1198
01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:32.680
<v Speaker 2>and his new cryptocurrency. That kind of guy. And so

1199
01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:35.520
<v Speaker 2>we've seen over and over again this parade of AI

1200
01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>CEO is going to Congress saying this is going to

1201
01:15:38.760 --> 01:15:41.479
<v Speaker 2>be the biggest thing ever in the world, and you're

1202
01:15:41.479 --> 01:15:43.119
<v Speaker 2>going to need to have it because the Chinese want

1203
01:15:43.119 --> 01:15:44.640
<v Speaker 2>to have it as well. So you've got to give

1204
01:15:44.720 --> 01:15:46.159
<v Speaker 2>us a lot of money to make sure that we're

1205
01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:49.000
<v Speaker 2>there first. And we've got this creating this arms race

1206
01:15:49.159 --> 01:15:51.840
<v Speaker 2>scenario thing. And then the other aspect of it is

1207
01:15:52.079 --> 01:15:55.600
<v Speaker 2>it is so powerful that it's very dangerous, and so

1208
01:15:55.800 --> 01:15:59.439
<v Speaker 2>you need to have responsible people like me that's going

1209
01:15:59.439 --> 01:16:01.920
<v Speaker 2>to do it, let my competitors do it. You've got

1210
01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>to put some regulation in there to keep them from

1211
01:16:03.880 --> 01:16:07.399
<v Speaker 2>getting involved in this. And so I guess immediately suspect

1212
01:16:07.439 --> 01:16:10.840
<v Speaker 2>when you start seeing these CEOs of AI companies making

1213
01:16:10.880 --> 01:16:14.279
<v Speaker 2>these pronouncements about what's going on. To me, a lot

1214
01:16:14.319 --> 01:16:16.279
<v Speaker 2>of what the guy said rang true. That's why I

1215
01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:20.560
<v Speaker 2>read it because of the rapid escalation of AI that

1216
01:16:20.600 --> 01:16:24.920
<v Speaker 2>we can see just looking at things like vocal mimicking

1217
01:16:25.159 --> 01:16:29.640
<v Speaker 2>and the images and videos and stuff like that that

1218
01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:33.199
<v Speaker 2>we have a use for with the program occasionally. But

1219
01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:36.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people said, no, this is something that

1220
01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:40.479
<v Speaker 2>was written by AI, because that's what this guy's company does. Well,

1221
01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:44.239
<v Speaker 2>the comeback from one person that's talking about it, and

1222
01:16:44.279 --> 01:16:47.199
<v Speaker 2>it went viral. I mean, it had millions of views,

1223
01:16:47.199 --> 01:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people talking about it, and I thought

1224
01:16:50.039 --> 01:16:52.840
<v Speaker 2>one of the most interesting quotes there was from the

1225
01:16:52.920 --> 01:16:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Washington Post Meghan mcgartoll. She said, well, if this was

1226
01:16:56.359 --> 01:17:01.199
<v Speaker 2>an AI written article, it's evidence of his thesis being true,

1227
01:17:01.239 --> 01:17:04.479
<v Speaker 2>because if an AI article could create that much stir,

1228
01:17:05.439 --> 01:17:08.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe that's exactly what he's talking about. But I think

1229
01:17:08.720 --> 01:17:11.680
<v Speaker 2>on the flip side of this, we have seen people

1230
01:17:11.800 --> 01:17:13.920
<v Speaker 2>and this is another reason why I covered it, but

1231
01:17:13.960 --> 01:17:16.079
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have time to get to that much of it.

1232
01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:18.239
<v Speaker 2>On the flip side, we have seen a lot of

1233
01:17:18.279 --> 01:17:23.319
<v Speaker 2>people who are who have no interest in growing an

1234
01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:25.800
<v Speaker 2>AI company. As a matter of fact, they have washed

1235
01:17:25.840 --> 01:17:27.760
<v Speaker 2>out and said I'm done with this stuff. I don't

1236
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:29.439
<v Speaker 2>want to have anything else to do with it. It's

1237
01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:32.680
<v Speaker 2>going to be very harmful to our society, to humanity,

1238
01:17:33.399 --> 01:17:36.039
<v Speaker 2>and it's going so many negatives to it. I don't

1239
01:17:36.039 --> 01:17:37.840
<v Speaker 2>want to have anything to do with it. And so

1240
01:17:37.920 --> 01:17:41.600
<v Speaker 2>they're resigning and going public with it, and they're not

1241
01:17:42.760 --> 01:17:46.359
<v Speaker 2>trying to sell fear and trying to prop up an

1242
01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:49.560
<v Speaker 2>AI arms race or anything like that, and so that's

1243
01:17:49.600 --> 01:17:51.840
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of it. An open AI engineer

1244
01:17:52.359 --> 01:17:56.720
<v Speaker 2>calls it an existential threat just days after Anthropics Safety

1245
01:17:57.000 --> 01:18:00.960
<v Speaker 2>lead quit over the same concerns. And it's not just them,

1246
01:18:01.000 --> 01:18:04.680
<v Speaker 2>it's also one of the founders of AI guy they

1247
01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>refer to as the godfather of AI, Jeffrey Hinton, has

1248
01:18:08.680 --> 01:18:14.800
<v Speaker 2>been warning of the negative impacts on society as well,

1249
01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:18.600
<v Speaker 2>in terms of not just employment, but so many different things.

1250
01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:19.119
<v Speaker 8>Well.

1251
01:18:19.159 --> 01:18:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Of course, the issue is what do we do if

1252
01:18:21.560 --> 01:18:23.680
<v Speaker 2>we don't have jobs? Right, it's not just a matter

1253
01:18:23.720 --> 01:18:27.199
<v Speaker 2>of giving people universal basic income. What is the meaning?

1254
01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:30.439
<v Speaker 2>What gives meaning to life? Is it our job, our career,

1255
01:18:30.680 --> 01:18:34.840
<v Speaker 2>our bank account. David Bonson has written a book about

1256
01:18:34.840 --> 01:18:37.319
<v Speaker 2>the importance of work and the importance of it from

1257
01:18:37.399 --> 01:18:40.239
<v Speaker 2>a Christian perspective, and so we're going to talk to

1258
01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:42.000
<v Speaker 2>him about that. Also going to talk to him about

1259
01:18:42.039 --> 01:18:45.760
<v Speaker 2>some of the economic policies or maybe the economic policies

1260
01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:50.399
<v Speaker 2>of the Trump regime. He is somebody who is very

1261
01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:53.640
<v Speaker 2>well versed, of course in economics. He runs the Bonson Group,

1262
01:18:53.640 --> 01:18:59.079
<v Speaker 2>which has eight billion dollars under asset of assets under management.

1263
01:18:59.119 --> 01:19:01.680
<v Speaker 2>I should say, so we're going to take a break

1264
01:19:01.720 --> 01:19:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and when we come back, we're going to talk to

1265
01:19:03.079 --> 01:19:05.600
<v Speaker 2>David Bohson of the Bonson Group. And I just want

1266
01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:07.960
<v Speaker 2>to tell everybody. I apologize that we've not been able

1267
01:19:08.000 --> 01:19:11.239
<v Speaker 2>to do comments and tips today. Everything should be normal

1268
01:19:11.640 --> 01:19:15.199
<v Speaker 2>again on Monday. So I apologize that we're not able

1269
01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:18.439
<v Speaker 2>to respond to you today, but that should be back

1270
01:19:18.520 --> 01:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>on Monday. So we'll be right back.

1271
01:20:07.560 --> 01:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the David Knight Show.

1272
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:18.920
<v Speaker 2>We'll joining us now is David Bnson. He is the

1273
01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:22.319
<v Speaker 2>manager of a eight billion with a B dollar wealth

1274
01:20:22.479 --> 01:20:27.159
<v Speaker 2>man fund. He's also a prolific writer. He is a

1275
01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:29.399
<v Speaker 2>contributing writer for National Review. He serves on the National

1276
01:20:29.439 --> 01:20:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Review Institute Board. He's named on of America's Top financial

1277
01:20:32.760 --> 01:20:37.319
<v Speaker 2>advisors by Barons Forbes and The Financial Times. He's also

1278
01:20:37.439 --> 01:20:40.319
<v Speaker 2>regularly on Fox News and Fox Business, as well as

1279
01:20:40.319 --> 01:20:43.560
<v Speaker 2>a contributor to World Magazine. And I wanted to talk

1280
01:20:43.640 --> 01:20:47.079
<v Speaker 2>to David about several issues. First of all, you know,

1281
01:20:47.119 --> 01:20:50.039
<v Speaker 2>his expertise, of course, is in economics, but he also

1282
01:20:50.920 --> 01:20:55.960
<v Speaker 2>is a published Christian author. He has some perspectives on

1283
01:20:56.560 --> 01:20:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the meaning of life and how to find life's met

1284
01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:02.760
<v Speaker 2>in your work and other things. It's we want to

1285
01:21:02.760 --> 01:21:05.199
<v Speaker 2>touch on that as well. He had a rebuttal to

1286
01:21:05.399 --> 01:21:07.920
<v Speaker 2>a piece that was done on The Atlantic talking about

1287
01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the isolation that has been has become characteristic of our society.

1288
01:21:12.680 --> 01:21:15.039
<v Speaker 2>So joining us now is David Bonson. Thank you for

1289
01:21:15.119 --> 01:21:15.960
<v Speaker 2>so much for joining us.

1290
01:21:16.039 --> 01:21:18.600
<v Speaker 8>David, Well, thank you so much for having me pleasure

1291
01:21:18.640 --> 01:21:19.039
<v Speaker 8>to be with you.

1292
01:21:19.840 --> 01:21:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's thank you. Let's talk a little bit about this

1293
01:21:22.119 --> 01:21:26.359
<v Speaker 2>piece from the Atlantic. I thought it was pretty amazing

1294
01:21:26.600 --> 01:21:30.720
<v Speaker 2>and it began with an anecdote is mostly stories do.

1295
01:21:30.920 --> 01:21:32.439
<v Speaker 2>This is a guy he's in a restaurant, I think

1296
01:21:32.439 --> 01:21:35.000
<v Speaker 2>it was North Carolina, and he says he's sitting there

1297
01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:36.920
<v Speaker 2>and he's seeing one person after the other coming into

1298
01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>the restaurant, grabbing a paper bag and going out. There's

1299
01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:42.560
<v Speaker 2>not really any interaction. You know, there's not a group

1300
01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:45.079
<v Speaker 2>of people coming in and having a meal at a table.

1301
01:21:45.119 --> 01:21:47.760
<v Speaker 2>They're not even really interacting with the people behind the counter.

1302
01:21:48.359 --> 01:21:51.640
<v Speaker 2>And he wrings his hand and says, this is awful,

1303
01:21:51.680 --> 01:21:54.119
<v Speaker 2>and this is what is happening to American society. And

1304
01:21:54.159 --> 01:21:55.479
<v Speaker 2>he said he talked to them, that it was very

1305
01:21:55.560 --> 01:22:00.439
<v Speaker 2>bustling place before the pandemic, and yet he believed that

1306
01:22:00.520 --> 01:22:03.239
<v Speaker 2>it was some kind of a problem of capitalism. Is

1307
01:22:03.680 --> 01:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>what did they say? The problem was? How did we

1308
01:22:05.720 --> 01:22:06.119
<v Speaker 2>get to this?

1309
01:22:07.079 --> 01:22:07.239
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

1310
01:22:07.279 --> 01:22:09.800
<v Speaker 6>And what what the author ends up doing is concluding

1311
01:22:09.840 --> 01:22:12.199
<v Speaker 6>that it wasn't a problem of markets, so it was

1312
01:22:12.279 --> 01:22:16.840
<v Speaker 6>rather markets adjusting to what the problem was with the culture,

1313
01:22:17.479 --> 01:22:23.520
<v Speaker 6>that the that the society moving towards increased alienation, a

1314
01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:30.439
<v Speaker 6>decreased value on community, on being together. And and of

1315
01:22:30.439 --> 01:22:33.479
<v Speaker 6>course that was an opening anecdote to what was a

1316
01:22:33.520 --> 01:22:36.800
<v Speaker 6>really longer piece. I did a whole podcast at my

1317
01:22:37.439 --> 01:22:42.239
<v Speaker 6>National Review Capital Record podcast about the broader subject of

1318
01:22:42.760 --> 01:22:48.479
<v Speaker 6>how do we reverse this trend of greater alienation and

1319
01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:50.520
<v Speaker 6>isolation in society?

1320
01:22:50.880 --> 01:22:52.560
<v Speaker 8>And one of the points I make is.

1321
01:22:52.520 --> 01:22:55.279
<v Speaker 6>That Mark this restaurant is not going to go out

1322
01:22:55.279 --> 01:22:58.000
<v Speaker 6>of business just because people don't want to go out

1323
01:22:58.000 --> 01:23:00.960
<v Speaker 6>to eat together anymore, so they are going to shift

1324
01:23:01.119 --> 01:23:05.920
<v Speaker 6>to deliveries and door dash and to go orders.

1325
01:23:05.600 --> 01:23:06.800
<v Speaker 8>And some of the other things.

1326
01:23:07.239 --> 01:23:10.239
<v Speaker 6>So the business of the restaurant might find a market

1327
01:23:10.279 --> 01:23:15.920
<v Speaker 6>mechanism that maintains some cash flow, but the societal issue

1328
01:23:16.680 --> 01:23:21.720
<v Speaker 6>that undergirds it is really the challenge. And I want

1329
01:23:21.760 --> 01:23:25.000
<v Speaker 6>to make the argument that markets are not causing the problem,

1330
01:23:25.079 --> 01:23:30.319
<v Speaker 6>they're responding to the problem. We don't blame markets when

1331
01:23:30.399 --> 01:23:34.560
<v Speaker 6>thousands of people go out together for big, successful concert events,

1332
01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:37.439
<v Speaker 6>we don't give markets the credit for that. But that's

1333
01:23:37.479 --> 01:23:42.520
<v Speaker 6>an example of markets accommodating a societal trend for the

1334
01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:47.039
<v Speaker 6>togetherness of what was the successful Taylor Swift concert tour

1335
01:23:47.079 --> 01:23:47.960
<v Speaker 6>a couple of years ago.

1336
01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:51.239
<v Speaker 8>The point I think you're bringing.

1337
01:23:51.039 --> 01:23:56.239
<v Speaker 6>Up, David, is that there was a societal trend taking

1338
01:23:56.279 --> 01:24:01.560
<v Speaker 6>place before COVID of people valuing community and together this

1339
01:24:01.800 --> 01:24:06.239
<v Speaker 6>less and COVID exacerbated it, and it's a trend that

1340
01:24:06.279 --> 01:24:07.920
<v Speaker 6>we ought to be very concerned about.

1341
01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I absolutely agree, and of course my listeners know that

1342
01:24:10.840 --> 01:24:15.079
<v Speaker 2>I was a pandemic skeptic before, during, and especially after.

1343
01:24:15.439 --> 01:24:17.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the people were pushing this on and say, well,

1344
01:24:17.800 --> 01:24:19.560
<v Speaker 2>we did our best. We just did the wrong thing.

1345
01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:22.159
<v Speaker 2>And that was, as you point out, it was a

1346
01:24:22.199 --> 01:24:24.439
<v Speaker 2>trend that had been happening for quite some time, and

1347
01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:28.800
<v Speaker 2>it was actually war gaming and simulations that they had

1348
01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:31.600
<v Speaker 2>done since two months before nine to eleven to lock

1349
01:24:31.640 --> 01:24:34.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody down and to keep everybody locked down until you

1350
01:24:34.600 --> 01:24:38.560
<v Speaker 2>got their special formula. So I was skeptical of that

1351
01:24:38.760 --> 01:24:41.119
<v Speaker 2>all along. And I've seen the ways that this has

1352
01:24:41.159 --> 01:24:44.279
<v Speaker 2>been used and how it has advanced a lot of

1353
01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:47.880
<v Speaker 2>the let's say, the agenda, because when you look at

1354
01:24:47.880 --> 01:24:50.439
<v Speaker 2>that as well as some things like universal basic income

1355
01:24:50.479 --> 01:24:52.960
<v Speaker 2>and compare that to the stimulus checks, seems to me

1356
01:24:53.079 --> 01:24:55.039
<v Speaker 2>like there was a lot that was going on with

1357
01:24:55.079 --> 01:24:58.239
<v Speaker 2>that that was pushing us down this very bad path

1358
01:24:58.800 --> 01:25:02.319
<v Speaker 2>of isolation and dependency on the government. And it doesn't

1359
01:25:02.359 --> 01:25:05.880
<v Speaker 2>surprise me to see the Atlantic take the approach that

1360
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>when the government gas lit enforced a lockdown in isolation,

1361
01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:13.399
<v Speaker 2>that they would then blame people who responded to that

1362
01:25:13.479 --> 01:25:15.399
<v Speaker 2>as businesses trying to stay alive.

1363
01:25:17.119 --> 01:25:23.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, I believe that pandemic response is unforgivable, outrageous. I

1364
01:25:23.880 --> 01:25:26.640
<v Speaker 6>think there were some people who were better intentioned than

1365
01:25:26.760 --> 01:25:30.039
<v Speaker 6>others that all of it Still, you know, I don't

1366
01:25:30.079 --> 01:25:33.000
<v Speaker 6>judge a policy by its intentions, you judge it by

1367
01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:33.840
<v Speaker 6>its results.

1368
01:25:34.039 --> 01:25:36.199
<v Speaker 8>And it was bad results.

1369
01:25:36.560 --> 01:25:41.239
<v Speaker 6>But the lockdowns and pandemic issue ended a long time ago.

1370
01:25:41.439 --> 01:25:43.359
<v Speaker 6>And one of the things Derek points out in the

1371
01:25:43.359 --> 01:25:46.800
<v Speaker 6>Atlantic article he wrote a year ago is that the

1372
01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:52.239
<v Speaker 6>worst year at twenty twenty one was very bad for this.

1373
01:25:52.760 --> 01:25:55.159
<v Speaker 6>Then twenty two was bad, and then it got worse

1374
01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:57.880
<v Speaker 6>than twenty three. No one was locked down by twenty

1375
01:25:58.079 --> 01:25:58.640
<v Speaker 6>twenty three.

1376
01:25:59.199 --> 01:26:02.399
<v Speaker 8>So what you see is this sort of craving of

1377
01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:03.880
<v Speaker 8>people dining alone.

1378
01:26:04.119 --> 01:26:08.359
<v Speaker 6>Robert Putnam's book Bowling Alone was written in the year

1379
01:26:08.399 --> 01:26:12.199
<v Speaker 6>two thousand. Okay, that was twenty five years ago. That

1380
01:26:12.399 --> 01:26:16.279
<v Speaker 6>was well before the pandemic. The death of community is

1381
01:26:16.319 --> 01:26:21.920
<v Speaker 6>a post modern and secular problem, not merely a byproduct

1382
01:26:22.119 --> 01:26:24.520
<v Speaker 6>of the very bad COVID policies.

1383
01:26:25.159 --> 01:26:27.119
<v Speaker 8>And I believe that.

1384
01:26:27.279 --> 01:26:34.239
<v Speaker 6>Societies that don't value mediating institutions like and family end

1385
01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:36.840
<v Speaker 6>up being very lonely societies.

1386
01:26:37.159 --> 01:26:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, I agree. Yeah, it was a trend that was

1387
01:26:38.840 --> 01:26:43.399
<v Speaker 2>already in place, and this accelerated it intensified it significantly,

1388
01:26:43.479 --> 01:26:45.760
<v Speaker 2>I think, and we're living with that. I guess that

1389
01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:48.680
<v Speaker 2>was one of the thing I was most surprised about

1390
01:26:49.039 --> 01:26:52.880
<v Speaker 2>was how rapidly this accelerated trends like that that we

1391
01:26:52.880 --> 01:26:56.600
<v Speaker 2>already saw in place and kind of solidified them, you know.

1392
01:26:56.680 --> 01:27:01.760
<v Speaker 2>And my son's generation, almost everybody meets their spouse or

1393
01:27:01.800 --> 01:27:05.079
<v Speaker 2>whatever that they know have met them online initially, And

1394
01:27:05.479 --> 01:27:07.439
<v Speaker 2>there used to be places where you could actually go

1395
01:27:07.720 --> 01:27:12.079
<v Speaker 2>and have a human to human interaction with somebody rather

1396
01:27:12.119 --> 01:27:16.359
<v Speaker 2>than primarily being online. And it's such a strange thing

1397
01:27:16.439 --> 01:27:19.479
<v Speaker 2>to see that, and it really is that kind of isolation.

1398
01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>And many have bragged about that being the design, you know,

1399
01:27:22.720 --> 01:27:25.319
<v Speaker 2>but they won't to have like a ready player one environment.

1400
01:27:25.399 --> 01:27:28.079
<v Speaker 2>We're all just set there in our virtual world, you know,

1401
01:27:28.479 --> 01:27:31.680
<v Speaker 2>communicating with people on the outside, rather than having any

1402
01:27:31.800 --> 01:27:33.359
<v Speaker 2>kind of in person communication.

1403
01:27:35.159 --> 01:27:36.279
<v Speaker 8>That's exactly right.

1404
01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:41.760
<v Speaker 6>Dining is but one example all sorts of various community activities.

1405
01:27:42.760 --> 01:27:42.960
<v Speaker 8>You know.

1406
01:27:43.000 --> 01:27:45.079
<v Speaker 6>We can talk about the role that COVID played in

1407
01:27:45.119 --> 01:27:52.720
<v Speaker 6>exacerbating it, but nothing is exacerbated quicker than screens than electronics.

1408
01:27:53.159 --> 01:27:55.880
<v Speaker 6>And I think there's a very healthy way in which

1409
01:27:55.920 --> 01:27:58.880
<v Speaker 6>one can use electronics for productive use.

1410
01:27:59.319 --> 01:28:01.760
<v Speaker 8>There's plenty of benefits to come from it. For people

1411
01:28:01.800 --> 01:28:02.680
<v Speaker 8>staying in touch.

1412
01:28:03.039 --> 01:28:06.199
<v Speaker 6>It's an easier way to send your long lost aunt

1413
01:28:06.199 --> 01:28:09.199
<v Speaker 6>and uncle on the other side of the country, family photos.

1414
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:12.319
<v Speaker 6>There's no reason to be luddite or a techn fobe

1415
01:28:12.359 --> 01:28:16.640
<v Speaker 6>about things. But to the extent that people have replaced

1416
01:28:16.760 --> 01:28:21.720
<v Speaker 6>human interaction with screen time, it is entirely unhealthy.

1417
01:28:22.000 --> 01:28:25.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's one of those things where because it makes

1418
01:28:25.520 --> 01:28:29.039
<v Speaker 2>it easier and available to not actually be in person,

1419
01:28:29.119 --> 01:28:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and it takes some of the discomfort of some of

1420
01:28:32.640 --> 01:28:34.640
<v Speaker 2>the aspects that you would have in meeting with somebody

1421
01:28:34.640 --> 01:28:36.680
<v Speaker 2>in person, takes a little bit of that out. It

1422
01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:39.319
<v Speaker 2>is kind of seductive in that regard, and I think

1423
01:28:39.359 --> 01:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>we're going to see a lot more of that as

1424
01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:44.319
<v Speaker 2>AI intrudes more and more into our lives. But let's

1425
01:28:44.319 --> 01:28:46.159
<v Speaker 2>talk a little bit about the solution. Because you wrote

1426
01:28:46.199 --> 01:28:51.680
<v Speaker 2>a whole book really about a perspective of life, full

1427
01:28:51.720 --> 01:28:55.159
<v Speaker 2>time work and the meaning of life. Give us a

1428
01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:56.520
<v Speaker 2>little bit of an overview of that.

1429
01:28:57.920 --> 01:29:01.760
<v Speaker 6>Well, I try to make the argument from you know,

1430
01:29:01.960 --> 01:29:06.560
<v Speaker 6>creational theology from the very beginning of the world is

1431
01:29:06.600 --> 01:29:09.800
<v Speaker 6>to what God told us as to why he created us,

1432
01:29:10.760 --> 01:29:15.720
<v Speaker 6>that our endeavors here on Earth matter, that work is

1433
01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:19.399
<v Speaker 6>not just something we do for transactional benefit to help

1434
01:29:20.319 --> 01:29:23.159
<v Speaker 6>feed us or sustain us, but that it is a

1435
01:29:23.359 --> 01:29:27.680
<v Speaker 6>venue for creative and productive outlet that in producing goods

1436
01:29:27.720 --> 01:29:31.960
<v Speaker 6>and services enhance quality of life, we can enable our

1437
01:29:32.039 --> 01:29:35.720
<v Speaker 6>dreams to come true, our passions are, we can develop

1438
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:39.159
<v Speaker 6>our skills in ways that bring tremendous meaning and joy

1439
01:29:39.239 --> 01:29:43.600
<v Speaker 6>to our lives. This is a productive, proactive view of

1440
01:29:43.720 --> 01:29:51.359
<v Speaker 6>human agency versus a reactive and I think very sedentary

1441
01:29:51.399 --> 01:29:54.119
<v Speaker 6>one where people are sitting still waiting for things to

1442
01:29:54.199 --> 01:29:58.239
<v Speaker 6>happen to them. Yes, uh, and and and one allows

1443
01:29:58.279 --> 01:30:01.840
<v Speaker 6>for humans to experience great joy and meaning and dignity.

1444
01:30:02.680 --> 01:30:07.880
<v Speaker 6>And it reflects the created intent and character of our creator.

1445
01:30:08.760 --> 01:30:09.880
<v Speaker 8>And one is.

1446
01:30:09.760 --> 01:30:16.840
<v Speaker 6>Depressing, One leads to isolation, one leads to this societal

1447
01:30:17.079 --> 01:30:18.560
<v Speaker 6>malady that we're dealing with.

1448
01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:22.079
<v Speaker 8>Now. Work is not the source of our problems. It

1449
01:30:22.159 --> 01:30:22.600
<v Speaker 8>is the.

1450
01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Solution, absolutely, And it's one more aspect here where we

1451
01:30:26.560 --> 01:30:30.039
<v Speaker 2>can see the wisdom of God, the wisdom of the Bible,

1452
01:30:30.479 --> 01:30:32.359
<v Speaker 2>in the sense that this is what we were designed for.

1453
01:30:32.640 --> 01:30:34.520
<v Speaker 2>And we know that that is a very effecious. A

1454
01:30:34.520 --> 01:30:37.399
<v Speaker 2>matter of fact, just recently we had doctor Oz out

1455
01:30:37.399 --> 01:30:40.359
<v Speaker 2>there saying we need to keep people working longer and

1456
01:30:40.760 --> 01:30:43.359
<v Speaker 2>retiring later. So the cynics came in and said, see

1457
01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:46.279
<v Speaker 2>he just doesn't want us to have a nice life,

1458
01:30:46.680 --> 01:30:48.760
<v Speaker 2>you know. And yet he was pointing out that study

1459
01:30:48.800 --> 01:30:51.600
<v Speaker 2>after study have shown that if you have a fulfilling job.

1460
01:30:51.640 --> 01:30:53.880
<v Speaker 2>As a matter of fact, people who are doing work

1461
01:30:53.920 --> 01:30:57.760
<v Speaker 2>that is not menial or reproduct typically naturally work for

1462
01:30:57.760 --> 01:31:01.079
<v Speaker 2>a longer period of time until help makes it impossible

1463
01:31:01.079 --> 01:31:03.319
<v Speaker 2>for them to do that. But if it's something like

1464
01:31:03.399 --> 01:31:05.840
<v Speaker 2>some kind of an intellectual pursuit or something like that

1465
01:31:05.840 --> 01:31:08.039
<v Speaker 2>that's a part of their work or some kind of

1466
01:31:08.079 --> 01:31:11.119
<v Speaker 2>creative process, they typically do work longer. And I'm thinking

1467
01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:15.479
<v Speaker 2>of the many conductors that I've seen who continue conducting

1468
01:31:15.479 --> 01:31:18.720
<v Speaker 2>the symphony works are in the eighties and nineties, and

1469
01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:21.159
<v Speaker 2>it keeps them young and alive. It's not just waving

1470
01:31:21.159 --> 01:31:23.760
<v Speaker 2>their arms around, you know, getting that kind of exercise,

1471
01:31:24.119 --> 01:31:27.720
<v Speaker 2>but it's something that engages their spirit and their intellect.

1472
01:31:28.199 --> 01:31:30.800
<v Speaker 2>And so there is a truth to that, because there

1473
01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:33.479
<v Speaker 2>is a truth to what God said. He designed us

1474
01:31:33.920 --> 01:31:37.159
<v Speaker 2>to work. He designed us to tend the garden. Work

1475
01:31:37.199 --> 01:31:41.359
<v Speaker 2>has become more difficult because after the Fall, God cursed

1476
01:31:41.479 --> 01:31:45.960
<v Speaker 2>that work, and it has now been deliberately made more difficult.

1477
01:31:46.039 --> 01:31:49.840
<v Speaker 2>And yet there are ways that we can still find

1478
01:31:49.880 --> 01:31:52.920
<v Speaker 2>our purpose in it, even if it is tainted by

1479
01:31:52.960 --> 01:31:53.880
<v Speaker 2>the curse of sin.

1480
01:31:55.079 --> 01:31:56.079
<v Speaker 8>And I will say.

1481
01:31:57.399 --> 01:32:00.359
<v Speaker 6>What I think is a little bit more biblically preciselyanguage

1482
01:32:00.359 --> 01:32:05.119
<v Speaker 6>in Genesis three, we don't generally talk about children of

1483
01:32:05.239 --> 01:32:10.199
<v Speaker 6>as being cursed that there's pains of childbirth now, but

1484
01:32:10.399 --> 01:32:14.119
<v Speaker 6>that verse came before the in Genesis chapter three, the

1485
01:32:14.159 --> 01:32:17.159
<v Speaker 6>curse to the woman was the pains of childbirth. It

1486
01:32:17.279 --> 01:32:20.319
<v Speaker 6>was not the children and the curse the curse to

1487
01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:23.399
<v Speaker 6>the man was not work. It was the sweat of

1488
01:32:23.439 --> 01:32:26.520
<v Speaker 6>the brow. It was the thorns and thistles. You're right

1489
01:32:26.720 --> 01:32:29.680
<v Speaker 6>that we're with the teats in work.

1490
01:32:29.720 --> 01:32:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Now, hang us, I guess David, you're breaking up there

1491
01:32:36.279 --> 01:32:39.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. We can we can pull this back here.

1492
01:32:41.199 --> 01:32:42.039
<v Speaker 8>I'm not sure why.

1493
01:32:42.199 --> 01:32:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, was it breaking up when you heard Atlanta or

1494
01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:49.600
<v Speaker 2>was it just on my end? It was okay, it's

1495
01:32:49.640 --> 01:32:51.560
<v Speaker 2>okay now, Yeah, it was just it was cutting out.

1496
01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:52.720
<v Speaker 2>So we didn't get the last of that.

1497
01:32:53.199 --> 01:32:55.520
<v Speaker 8>So let's let's pick let me pick it up from

1498
01:32:55.560 --> 01:32:56.239
<v Speaker 8>the sentence.

1499
01:32:56.000 --> 01:32:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Before we'll edit that together.

1500
01:32:57.520 --> 01:33:02.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think that the man that we talk about

1501
01:33:02.039 --> 01:33:05.800
<v Speaker 6>thorns and thistles, that it is a curse that now

1502
01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:09.720
<v Speaker 6>is going to be accompanying work. But that the underlying

1503
01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:14.399
<v Speaker 6>work itself remains a blessing, just like children remain a blessing.

1504
01:33:15.119 --> 01:33:18.279
<v Speaker 6>Sin polluted a lot of things, but in God's redemptive

1505
01:33:18.439 --> 01:33:22.520
<v Speaker 6>plan to restore all of us to an Edenic condition,

1506
01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:27.119
<v Speaker 6>I believe that we air to believe that work itself

1507
01:33:27.439 --> 01:33:28.079
<v Speaker 6>was cursed.

1508
01:33:28.640 --> 01:33:32.239
<v Speaker 8>Work and family both predated.

1509
01:33:31.560 --> 01:33:37.039
<v Speaker 6>The fall, and that perspective I think is important theologically.

1510
01:33:37.319 --> 01:33:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly right, Yeah it is. Work is harder for

1511
01:33:41.159 --> 01:33:44.359
<v Speaker 2>us now, but even hard work like that difficult work

1512
01:33:44.520 --> 01:33:47.600
<v Speaker 2>has its reward, you know, just like the pain of childbirth.

1513
01:33:47.640 --> 01:33:49.680
<v Speaker 2>And yet there is a reward of the children as well,

1514
01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:53.279
<v Speaker 2>and so both of those things are there. The process

1515
01:33:53.359 --> 01:33:55.560
<v Speaker 2>is painful, but the reward that we were built for

1516
01:33:56.000 --> 01:33:58.800
<v Speaker 2>is still fundamentally there is. That. The basis, then, of

1517
01:33:58.960 --> 01:34:02.119
<v Speaker 2>a thesis of your book, Full Time Work and the

1518
01:34:02.119 --> 01:34:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Meaning of Life.

1519
01:34:03.520 --> 01:34:06.720
<v Speaker 6>It is that there is not fifty percent of people

1520
01:34:06.720 --> 01:34:09.199
<v Speaker 6>who are made to work and fifty percent who were.

1521
01:34:09.119 --> 01:34:12.560
<v Speaker 8>Made to consume that because all of.

1522
01:34:12.520 --> 01:34:15.800
<v Speaker 6>Us were made in the image of God, and he

1523
01:34:15.840 --> 01:34:18.439
<v Speaker 6>did this, by the way, because he loves us, not

1524
01:34:18.600 --> 01:34:23.520
<v Speaker 6>because he hates us. That we all have a ability

1525
01:34:23.680 --> 01:34:30.000
<v Speaker 6>to work. Some have different skills and interests and abilities

1526
01:34:30.079 --> 01:34:33.560
<v Speaker 6>and backgrounds and whatnot, but that there is no one

1527
01:34:33.680 --> 01:34:37.439
<v Speaker 6>God made not in his image. And if part of

1528
01:34:37.439 --> 01:34:40.800
<v Speaker 6>being an image bearer of God is the creative, productive,

1529
01:34:40.920 --> 01:34:45.359
<v Speaker 6>innovative capacity that he has, then this means that what

1530
01:34:45.439 --> 01:34:49.199
<v Speaker 6>I'm speaking to doesn't apply to just Elon Musk and

1531
01:34:49.319 --> 01:34:53.760
<v Speaker 6>Jeff Bezos. It applies to all of us in some

1532
01:34:53.840 --> 01:34:58.039
<v Speaker 6>capacity to go and wake up every day with the

1533
01:34:58.720 --> 01:35:02.279
<v Speaker 6>blessing of being able to be productive the four letter

1534
01:35:02.319 --> 01:35:03.600
<v Speaker 6>word we call work.

1535
01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:06.600
<v Speaker 2>I agree with that. That's great, and we shall all

1536
01:35:07.000 --> 01:35:09.479
<v Speaker 2>I think we'd all be better off if we had

1537
01:35:09.520 --> 01:35:12.640
<v Speaker 2>that perspective. Let's talk about what many of us work for,

1538
01:35:12.800 --> 01:35:15.199
<v Speaker 2>and that is a roof over our heads. And you

1539
01:35:15.279 --> 01:35:18.079
<v Speaker 2>talked about the root of the housing problem, and a

1540
01:35:18.159 --> 01:35:21.880
<v Speaker 2>recent article that you had. Trump's got one idea of

1541
01:35:21.920 --> 01:35:24.439
<v Speaker 2>how he thinks he actually he's got several. He came

1542
01:35:24.520 --> 01:35:29.439
<v Speaker 2>up a fifty year mortgage life in venture mint to

1543
01:35:29.479 --> 01:35:31.840
<v Speaker 2>the mortgage company that was one of them, of course,

1544
01:35:32.479 --> 01:35:36.840
<v Speaker 2>manipulating interest rates. And now he's got the idea of

1545
01:35:37.000 --> 01:35:40.560
<v Speaker 2>prohibition of institutional investors. And you take issue with that.

1546
01:35:40.600 --> 01:35:43.239
<v Speaker 2>Tell us why you think that is the wrong approach

1547
01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:46.720
<v Speaker 2>and what the real root of housing problem is well.

1548
01:35:46.760 --> 01:35:49.079
<v Speaker 6>I take issue with almost all of them, although that

1549
01:35:49.119 --> 01:35:54.760
<v Speaker 6>one might be among the worst. We have a tremendous

1550
01:35:54.800 --> 01:35:56.800
<v Speaker 6>problem of inadequate supply.

1551
01:35:57.680 --> 01:36:00.479
<v Speaker 8>Housing is too expensive because we need more of it.

1552
01:36:00.600 --> 01:36:03.000
<v Speaker 8>And this is basic economics.

1553
01:36:03.439 --> 01:36:07.880
<v Speaker 6>When supply stays level but the demand curve moves up,

1554
01:36:08.399 --> 01:36:11.399
<v Speaker 6>then you get higher prices, and so you need an

1555
01:36:11.439 --> 01:36:15.920
<v Speaker 6>equilibrium between supply and demand in order to avoid prices

1556
01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:20.079
<v Speaker 6>going higher, let alone higher than the rate of inflation itself.

1557
01:36:20.720 --> 01:36:24.840
<v Speaker 6>House prices have outpaced wage growth and job growth and

1558
01:36:24.880 --> 01:36:28.600
<v Speaker 6>economic growth for some time, and that is unsustainable and

1559
01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:30.439
<v Speaker 6>it creates.

1560
01:36:30.840 --> 01:36:33.199
<v Speaker 8>An affordability price problem.

1561
01:36:33.840 --> 01:36:37.199
<v Speaker 6>Vice President Kamala Harris, when she was running for president, said,

1562
01:36:37.279 --> 01:36:41.279
<v Speaker 6>we'll all address the affordability issue by giving every American

1563
01:36:41.840 --> 01:36:47.560
<v Speaker 6>twenty five thousand dollars. President Trump has said, or every

1564
01:36:47.600 --> 01:36:51.079
<v Speaker 6>American wants to buy a first time home. President Trump said,

1565
01:36:51.159 --> 01:36:56.039
<v Speaker 6>I'm going to address it by having Fanny and Freddy

1566
01:36:56.319 --> 01:36:59.960
<v Speaker 6>buy a ton of mortgage bonds, so it creates more

1567
01:37:00.279 --> 01:37:05.359
<v Speaker 6>supply of mortgage financing and pushes interest rates down. Both

1568
01:37:05.479 --> 01:37:11.640
<v Speaker 6>things feed demand, but do nothing about supply. And when

1569
01:37:11.640 --> 01:37:15.760
<v Speaker 6>he talks about supply, he says, the institutional people that

1570
01:37:15.800 --> 01:37:19.199
<v Speaker 6>have come in and built new homes and bought homes

1571
01:37:20.560 --> 01:37:24.920
<v Speaker 6>have now made it more unaffordable. The reality is, first

1572
01:37:24.960 --> 01:37:29.880
<v Speaker 6>of all, the largest institutional holder owns about sixty thousand homes,

1573
01:37:30.239 --> 01:37:33.680
<v Speaker 6>thirty thousand that they own to sell, thirty thousand they

1574
01:37:33.680 --> 01:37:34.359
<v Speaker 6>owned a rent.

1575
01:37:34.920 --> 01:37:38.640
<v Speaker 8>This is in a nation with ninety million homes.

1576
01:37:40.520 --> 01:37:43.960
<v Speaker 6>Some of the cities with the worst home price appreciation

1577
01:37:45.000 --> 01:37:49.640
<v Speaker 6>meaning the lowest, have the highest level of institutional ownership.

1578
01:37:50.159 --> 01:37:53.520
<v Speaker 6>Some of the cities that have the highest home price

1579
01:37:53.560 --> 01:37:59.960
<v Speaker 6>appreciation and the biggest unaffordability problem have no institutional ownership.

1580
01:38:00.640 --> 01:38:04.479
<v Speaker 6>So there's no real empirical evidence that this is a

1581
01:38:04.560 --> 01:38:08.520
<v Speaker 6>factor at all. But what it does do is tell

1582
01:38:08.600 --> 01:38:11.720
<v Speaker 6>Americans who they're allowed to buy and sell their home

1583
01:38:11.960 --> 01:38:16.439
<v Speaker 6>to and from. Yeah, exactly, it's just outrageous, and so

1584
01:38:16.600 --> 01:38:19.760
<v Speaker 6>it's not only not addressing the problem, but it is

1585
01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:23.640
<v Speaker 6>a solution that is outside of market principles that most

1586
01:38:23.640 --> 01:38:25.600
<v Speaker 6>of us on the right have believed in for a

1587
01:38:25.640 --> 01:38:26.359
<v Speaker 6>long time.

1588
01:38:26.720 --> 01:38:30.359
<v Speaker 2>That's right, And you point out your article American Enterprise Institute,

1589
01:38:30.399 --> 01:38:32.840
<v Speaker 2>going through and looking at the data behind it, that

1590
01:38:32.920 --> 01:38:36.800
<v Speaker 2>eighty percent of all institutionally owned homes exist in just

1591
01:38:37.039 --> 01:38:41.800
<v Speaker 2>five percent of US counties. So again, that's not the

1592
01:38:41.840 --> 01:38:45.640
<v Speaker 2>systemic issue for prices because they're seeing this everywhere. And

1593
01:38:45.680 --> 01:38:48.399
<v Speaker 2>he also point out that not a single country in

1594
01:38:48.439 --> 01:38:54.840
<v Speaker 2>America has even has ten percent institutional ownership share. So clearly, yeah,

1595
01:38:55.159 --> 01:38:58.199
<v Speaker 2>that's not the issue. Clearly when you look at the numbers.

1596
01:38:59.000 --> 01:39:02.520
<v Speaker 2>But again, what he's talking about doing is, as you

1597
01:39:02.560 --> 01:39:04.800
<v Speaker 2>point out, it's going to feed demand. I look at

1598
01:39:04.800 --> 01:39:07.600
<v Speaker 2>this in a sense like the car issue. You know,

1599
01:39:07.640 --> 01:39:10.479
<v Speaker 2>look at how unaffordable cars have gotten. I talked about

1600
01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:14.800
<v Speaker 2>this week the electric vehicles and how they were bragging

1601
01:39:14.840 --> 01:39:17.800
<v Speaker 2>that this new type of electric vehicle would be priced

1602
01:39:17.800 --> 01:39:20.479
<v Speaker 2>at under sixty thousand dollars. I thought, how is that

1603
01:39:20.520 --> 01:39:24.039
<v Speaker 2>a selling feature that is so incredibly expensive. I went

1604
01:39:24.079 --> 01:39:27.079
<v Speaker 2>back and I looked at the average car price and

1605
01:39:27.199 --> 01:39:31.239
<v Speaker 2>adjusted it for inflation, and that's going from nineteen seventy four,

1606
01:39:31.439 --> 01:39:35.199
<v Speaker 2>so the last fifty years or so, that is double

1607
01:39:35.319 --> 01:39:38.279
<v Speaker 2>what it would be if you just adjusted for the

1608
01:39:38.680 --> 01:39:41.439
<v Speaker 2>inflation for the devaluation of the dollar. And so there's

1609
01:39:41.439 --> 01:39:43.560
<v Speaker 2>something else going on here. We know that the price

1610
01:39:43.720 --> 01:39:47.920
<v Speaker 2>of cars, it's not like it has a supply issue.

1611
01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:52.520
<v Speaker 2>It's really a pricing issue, because the car manufacturers would

1612
01:39:52.520 --> 01:39:55.600
<v Speaker 2>be more than happy to ramp this up. But it's

1613
01:39:55.720 --> 01:39:57.760
<v Speaker 2>all the regulations that are put onto the cars are

1614
01:39:57.760 --> 01:40:01.079
<v Speaker 2>making it very expensive. What about the regulation that make

1615
01:40:01.159 --> 01:40:03.600
<v Speaker 2>houses more expensive because they've got a lot of mandated

1616
01:40:03.600 --> 01:40:06.359
<v Speaker 2>stuff with regulations. From that standpoint as well, how does

1617
01:40:06.399 --> 01:40:09.479
<v Speaker 2>that affect the supply side in your view, Well.

1618
01:40:09.239 --> 01:40:10.279
<v Speaker 8>It's a huge issue.

1619
01:40:10.319 --> 01:40:12.840
<v Speaker 6>And it doesn't just affect the supply side in getting

1620
01:40:13.159 --> 01:40:16.399
<v Speaker 6>priced in. It affects the supply side in not getting

1621
01:40:16.479 --> 01:40:20.079
<v Speaker 6>new supply because some of these regulations are so expensive

1622
01:40:20.159 --> 01:40:25.479
<v Speaker 6>that they simply cannot build, and or they it takes

1623
01:40:25.479 --> 01:40:29.399
<v Speaker 6>so long to build that you end up not keeping

1624
01:40:29.520 --> 01:40:33.920
<v Speaker 6>up with growing demand. There's a few things that all

1625
01:40:33.960 --> 01:40:36.159
<v Speaker 6>played into this, and I'll do this very quickly for

1626
01:40:36.359 --> 01:40:37.199
<v Speaker 6>your listeners.

1627
01:40:37.760 --> 01:40:39.840
<v Speaker 8>But you had the financial crisis.

1628
01:40:39.880 --> 01:40:43.680
<v Speaker 6>There was a big glut of supply relative to demand,

1629
01:40:43.720 --> 01:40:46.600
<v Speaker 6>and when the bubble burst, it was very difficult to

1630
01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:50.039
<v Speaker 6>get capital investment into housing. And then they came into

1631
01:40:50.119 --> 01:40:53.039
<v Speaker 6>a lot of new regulations about the banks what they

1632
01:40:53.079 --> 01:40:56.199
<v Speaker 6>were and weren't allowed to do, and so there was

1633
01:40:56.239 --> 01:40:59.039
<v Speaker 6>so much excess inventory that had to be worked through.

1634
01:40:59.359 --> 01:41:02.319
<v Speaker 6>As millions of Americans had bought homes they couldn't afford,

1635
01:41:02.840 --> 01:41:05.119
<v Speaker 6>so that was going to set everything back a few years,

1636
01:41:05.159 --> 01:41:06.880
<v Speaker 6>and it made a lot of sense why there wouldn't

1637
01:41:06.920 --> 01:41:09.079
<v Speaker 6>be a lot of people lining up to build new

1638
01:41:09.079 --> 01:41:13.199
<v Speaker 6>homes in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis. But

1639
01:41:13.279 --> 01:41:18.439
<v Speaker 6>then combined with that, demographically at the time, we had

1640
01:41:18.479 --> 01:41:24.479
<v Speaker 6>millennials becoming adult age and normally would be buying a home,

1641
01:41:24.560 --> 01:41:28.319
<v Speaker 6>starting a family. But they were getting married five years

1642
01:41:28.520 --> 01:41:32.560
<v Speaker 6>ten years later than their parents did. They were having

1643
01:41:32.680 --> 01:41:37.479
<v Speaker 6>kids five, ten, twelve years later. So it put a

1644
01:41:37.520 --> 01:41:42.920
<v Speaker 6>big increase of demand on multifamily homes and a big

1645
01:41:43.039 --> 01:41:46.439
<v Speaker 6>decrease in demand on single family But then a few

1646
01:41:46.479 --> 01:41:48.760
<v Speaker 6>more years go buy it turns out they do want

1647
01:41:48.800 --> 01:41:50.800
<v Speaker 6>to get married, they do want of kids, even though

1648
01:41:50.800 --> 01:41:52.880
<v Speaker 6>they're now into their thirties instead of their.

1649
01:41:52.720 --> 01:41:56.439
<v Speaker 8>Twenties, and so that is what it is. But lo

1650
01:41:56.600 --> 01:41:57.199
<v Speaker 8>and behold.

1651
01:41:57.760 --> 01:42:02.319
<v Speaker 6>Now, the housing crisis per is long gone. A lot

1652
01:42:02.359 --> 01:42:06.399
<v Speaker 6>of millennials have gotten older. There's a huge demand for

1653
01:42:06.720 --> 01:42:10.319
<v Speaker 6>single family housing, but we haven't built any new homes

1654
01:42:10.359 --> 01:42:15.279
<v Speaker 6>in ten years. Then the COVID moment happens. Interest rates

1655
01:42:15.319 --> 01:42:19.840
<v Speaker 6>go to zero. There's tons of demand, low price financing.

1656
01:42:20.000 --> 01:42:23.920
<v Speaker 6>Everybody wants to move to a bigger home, and we

1657
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:24.640
<v Speaker 6>don't have.

1658
01:42:24.560 --> 01:42:26.600
<v Speaker 8>The supply, it pushes prices up.

1659
01:42:27.399 --> 01:42:29.520
<v Speaker 6>Now you have a ton of people own homes at

1660
01:42:29.640 --> 01:42:32.600
<v Speaker 6>very low interest rates and they don't want to sell.

1661
01:42:32.680 --> 01:42:34.920
<v Speaker 8>They think they've made a bunch of money on their home.

1662
01:42:35.359 --> 01:42:38.279
<v Speaker 6>But now all of the young people entering the workforce

1663
01:42:38.319 --> 01:42:39.600
<v Speaker 6>can't afford to buy a home.

1664
01:42:40.399 --> 01:42:42.720
<v Speaker 8>There's three or four things involved there.

1665
01:42:43.000 --> 01:42:46.319
<v Speaker 6>Some are more dominant than others, but I put all

1666
01:42:46.359 --> 01:42:49.039
<v Speaker 6>of them together to say it isn't a simplistic thing.

1667
01:42:49.439 --> 01:42:53.000
<v Speaker 6>People that want to blame Blackstone for the housing crisis,

1668
01:42:53.119 --> 01:42:56.920
<v Speaker 6>or blame Fanny Free for the unaffordability thing, or just

1669
01:42:57.039 --> 01:42:59.800
<v Speaker 6>blame the FED or whatever. There's a lot of different

1670
01:42:59.800 --> 01:43:03.920
<v Speaker 6>things is going on here. But the fundamental solution is

1671
01:43:03.960 --> 01:43:07.000
<v Speaker 6>that you don't have enough supply. And where you do

1672
01:43:07.119 --> 01:43:10.720
<v Speaker 6>have states that didn't give in to SICCA and the

1673
01:43:10.840 --> 01:43:16.239
<v Speaker 6>environmental regulations and burden some permitting and zoning requirements, they

1674
01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:18.640
<v Speaker 6>were able to keep in front of it by building

1675
01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:21.319
<v Speaker 6>a lot of new supply. Now house price has got

1676
01:43:21.359 --> 01:43:25.239
<v Speaker 6>more expensive in Phoenix and Dallas and Charlotte and Miami

1677
01:43:25.680 --> 01:43:30.079
<v Speaker 6>and Nashville too, even though they were much better behaved

1678
01:43:30.159 --> 01:43:33.680
<v Speaker 6>states about building new supply. But that's because their demand

1679
01:43:33.840 --> 01:43:38.079
<v Speaker 6>was huge and so thank god. They built a lot

1680
01:43:38.079 --> 01:43:39.960
<v Speaker 6>of new supply because they had a lot of new

1681
01:43:40.000 --> 01:43:42.560
<v Speaker 6>demand because a lot of people left blue states to

1682
01:43:42.680 --> 01:43:45.840
<v Speaker 6>move to red states that were behaving themselves.

1683
01:43:46.159 --> 01:43:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, we look at building code, you know, you

1684
01:43:49.880 --> 01:43:52.600
<v Speaker 2>look at building code and the massive expansion of regulations.

1685
01:43:52.640 --> 01:43:56.159
<v Speaker 2>There are much of that being driven by Washington, you know,

1686
01:43:56.239 --> 01:43:58.840
<v Speaker 2>pushing out regulations for people. You know, do this, do that.

1687
01:43:59.119 --> 01:44:00.760
<v Speaker 2>It's going to be greener if you do this. And

1688
01:44:00.800 --> 01:44:03.399
<v Speaker 2>so there's a lot of those types of things that

1689
01:44:03.439 --> 01:44:05.039
<v Speaker 2>are there. And when you talk about you brought up

1690
01:44:05.479 --> 01:44:08.760
<v Speaker 2>the concern about Blackstone, and people get Blackstone and Blackrock

1691
01:44:09.000 --> 01:44:11.840
<v Speaker 2>mixed up and you point that out. But I think

1692
01:44:12.640 --> 01:44:17.479
<v Speaker 2>that kind of plays into people's suspicion because Blackrock made

1693
01:44:17.520 --> 01:44:21.000
<v Speaker 2>so much money out of the derivatives market that created

1694
01:44:21.000 --> 01:44:22.760
<v Speaker 2>the real estate crash, that was at the heart of

1695
01:44:22.800 --> 01:44:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the real estate crash. Stuff. They made so much money

1696
01:44:25.000 --> 01:44:27.159
<v Speaker 2>with that, everybody's think, oh, they're going to do something

1697
01:44:27.199 --> 01:44:30.079
<v Speaker 2>about that. Again, I think that's a big part of

1698
01:44:30.119 --> 01:44:33.159
<v Speaker 2>this policy that I would characterize Trump's policy as a

1699
01:44:33.199 --> 01:44:36.800
<v Speaker 2>mixture of demagogery and democrat economics.

1700
01:44:37.840 --> 01:44:40.760
<v Speaker 6>What do you think, Well, there's a lot of demagoguery

1701
01:44:40.840 --> 01:44:43.239
<v Speaker 6>I'm not sure what Blackrock had to do with the

1702
01:44:43.279 --> 01:44:46.720
<v Speaker 6>derivatives market in the financial crisis, right. They were just

1703
01:44:47.079 --> 01:44:52.880
<v Speaker 6>a passive asset manager that had very little fingerprints around

1704
01:44:52.960 --> 01:44:56.199
<v Speaker 6>all that. There's a lot people could criticize Blackrock for.

1705
01:44:56.720 --> 01:45:00.239
<v Speaker 6>There's certain things they could complement Blackrock for. I have

1706
01:45:00.760 --> 01:45:04.000
<v Speaker 6>a pretty thoughtful take on the good, bad, and ugly

1707
01:45:04.039 --> 01:45:06.600
<v Speaker 6>of black Rock, but they have almost nothing to do

1708
01:45:06.680 --> 01:45:07.319
<v Speaker 6>with housing.

1709
01:45:07.439 --> 01:45:10.920
<v Speaker 8>But the Blackstone is a larger.

1710
01:45:10.720 --> 01:45:13.279
<v Speaker 6>I don't blame people for getting black Rock and Blackstone

1711
01:45:13.319 --> 01:45:13.760
<v Speaker 6>mixed up.

1712
01:45:13.840 --> 01:45:15.600
<v Speaker 8>That's easy enough mistake to make.

1713
01:45:15.960 --> 01:45:18.840
<v Speaker 6>I do, however, blame people for still holding on to

1714
01:45:18.960 --> 01:45:22.720
<v Speaker 6>the class warfare narrative when it has been corrected, when

1715
01:45:22.760 --> 01:45:26.119
<v Speaker 6>it has been pointed out, Hey, we're not talking about Blackrock, guys,

1716
01:45:26.159 --> 01:45:27.479
<v Speaker 6>We're talking about Blackstone.

1717
01:45:27.880 --> 01:45:30.600
<v Speaker 8>But the demagoguery is too important to them to let

1718
01:45:30.680 --> 01:45:31.000
<v Speaker 8>go of.

1719
01:45:31.439 --> 01:45:34.640
<v Speaker 6>I want to hold onto truthful narratives when we critique

1720
01:45:34.720 --> 01:45:37.680
<v Speaker 6>public policy, and I don't like seeing my friends on

1721
01:45:37.720 --> 01:45:40.479
<v Speaker 6>the right hold on to untruthful narratives just because it

1722
01:45:40.520 --> 01:45:45.000
<v Speaker 6>fits a demagogaery that has become baked in the cake.

1723
01:45:45.560 --> 01:45:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I've said many times the Republicans are the Democrats

1724
01:45:50.479 --> 01:45:53.079
<v Speaker 2>of my youth, and the Democrats are the Marxists of

1725
01:45:53.119 --> 01:45:56.479
<v Speaker 2>my youth. We have drifted in that direction on both sides,

1726
01:45:56.520 --> 01:45:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and so it is kind of interesting the as I said,

1727
01:46:00.000 --> 01:46:03.840
<v Speaker 2>and the demogoguery as well as the Democrat policies. And

1728
01:46:03.880 --> 01:46:06.319
<v Speaker 2>you point out in your op ed piece about how

1729
01:46:06.359 --> 01:46:10.119
<v Speaker 2>this sounds like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warre even.

1730
01:46:09.920 --> 01:46:12.880
<v Speaker 6>Trump by the way, By the way, if I'm being

1731
01:46:12.920 --> 01:46:15.760
<v Speaker 6>fair here, some of it is not sound like them.

1732
01:46:15.880 --> 01:46:17.119
<v Speaker 8>It's literally them.

1733
01:46:17.479 --> 01:46:21.840
<v Speaker 6>It was, you know, banning institutional ownership of homes, limiting

1734
01:46:21.920 --> 01:46:26.760
<v Speaker 6>credit card fees. That was actual legislation that these two

1735
01:46:26.880 --> 01:46:28.319
<v Speaker 6>socialist senators wrote.

1736
01:46:29.279 --> 01:46:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you know, I think that there is something

1737
01:46:31.560 --> 01:46:34.800
<v Speaker 2>to say about usury laws. I think that was something

1738
01:46:34.840 --> 01:46:37.319
<v Speaker 2>that served us well as a society in the past.

1739
01:46:37.960 --> 01:46:40.520
<v Speaker 2>I think there's been a huge imbalance in terms of

1740
01:46:40.960 --> 01:46:43.119
<v Speaker 2>what they actually have to pay to get their money

1741
01:46:43.159 --> 01:46:45.520
<v Speaker 2>from the Fed or whatever, and what they charge people.

1742
01:46:45.560 --> 01:46:48.319
<v Speaker 2>I think we've gotten into loan shark territory there. So

1743
01:46:48.760 --> 01:46:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of sympathetic to putting something on about usury.

1744
01:46:51.840 --> 01:46:53.880
<v Speaker 2>But of course what Trump is talking about is a

1745
01:46:53.920 --> 01:46:56.600
<v Speaker 2>one year moratorium on it, and to me, that is

1746
01:46:56.720 --> 01:46:58.800
<v Speaker 2>no different than a kind of a come on rate

1747
01:46:59.159 --> 01:47:01.399
<v Speaker 2>to get you to switch your credit card company that

1748
01:47:01.439 --> 01:47:05.039
<v Speaker 2>we've seen over and over in one year moretorium on lowering

1749
01:47:05.119 --> 01:47:07.600
<v Speaker 2>the rates really doesn't do much to help. You can

1750
01:47:07.640 --> 01:47:10.159
<v Speaker 2>actually get a better deal than that with changing credit

1751
01:47:10.159 --> 01:47:10.880
<v Speaker 2>card companies.

1752
01:47:11.960 --> 01:47:14.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I don't believe that the credit card companies have

1753
01:47:14.960 --> 01:47:18.319
<v Speaker 6>anything to do with usury laws biblically defined. I mean

1754
01:47:18.359 --> 01:47:22.039
<v Speaker 6>the concept of not having exorbitive interest, but in terms

1755
01:47:22.079 --> 01:47:25.920
<v Speaker 6>of usury being a personal law with one's neighbor who

1756
01:47:26.000 --> 01:47:29.560
<v Speaker 6>is destitute and hard up and not taking advantage of

1757
01:47:29.600 --> 01:47:33.720
<v Speaker 6>them for commercial purposes. Credit cards the interest cost is

1758
01:47:33.840 --> 01:47:36.640
<v Speaker 6>zero when you pay your bill every month. This is

1759
01:47:36.720 --> 01:47:43.239
<v Speaker 6>revolving and non purpose credit that one lender in America

1760
01:47:43.560 --> 01:47:48.239
<v Speaker 6>has seven billion dollars of bad debt write downs per

1761
01:47:48.359 --> 01:47:53.039
<v Speaker 6>year because this is totally unsecured lending. And so the

1762
01:47:53.119 --> 01:47:57.399
<v Speaker 6>cost of credit cards to low income and new borrowers

1763
01:47:57.520 --> 01:48:00.880
<v Speaker 6>or maybe people with troubled credit past, the cost of

1764
01:48:00.920 --> 01:48:04.359
<v Speaker 6>it has to factor in just for one bank seven

1765
01:48:04.439 --> 01:48:07.279
<v Speaker 6>billion dollars of people that don't pay their credit card

1766
01:48:07.279 --> 01:48:10.840
<v Speaker 6>bill back. So another party, Hey, my problem is if

1767
01:48:10.840 --> 01:48:13.199
<v Speaker 6>I'm afraid of usury, which it sounds like you and

1768
01:48:13.279 --> 01:48:16.840
<v Speaker 6>I both are. I believe this creates a lot more

1769
01:48:16.960 --> 01:48:21.039
<v Speaker 6>usury because when the bank stop generating credit cards because

1770
01:48:21.039 --> 01:48:24.520
<v Speaker 6>they're going to lose money, their net profit on the

1771
01:48:24.520 --> 01:48:27.840
<v Speaker 6>credit card business is somewhere between seven and nine percent

1772
01:48:28.520 --> 01:48:31.760
<v Speaker 6>when they when they then say okay, well now we

1773
01:48:31.880 --> 01:48:34.680
<v Speaker 6>can't charge more than ten percent, and we're going to

1774
01:48:34.760 --> 01:48:38.239
<v Speaker 6>lose seven billion dollars on bad borrowers. So we're just

1775
01:48:38.279 --> 01:48:40.960
<v Speaker 6>not going to extend credit cards to a whole segment

1776
01:48:41.000 --> 01:48:45.640
<v Speaker 6>of the population that needs them for building credit, for expenditures,

1777
01:48:45.680 --> 01:48:47.800
<v Speaker 6>for medical emergencies.

1778
01:48:47.399 --> 01:48:49.720
<v Speaker 8>What have you. Where are those people going to go.

1779
01:48:49.960 --> 01:48:54.119
<v Speaker 6>They're going to go to real loan sharks, to ayday lenders,

1780
01:48:54.159 --> 01:48:59.840
<v Speaker 6>to other higher cost, higher usury expenditures. So that's why

1781
01:48:59.880 --> 01:49:03.279
<v Speaker 6>I opposed it when Bernie Sanders wrote this bill last year.

1782
01:49:03.960 --> 01:49:08.279
<v Speaker 6>And while I want to see cost of credit be proportionate,

1783
01:49:08.640 --> 01:49:11.000
<v Speaker 6>there's one thing that really does hold the credit card

1784
01:49:11.000 --> 01:49:15.239
<v Speaker 6>companies in line, and that is the competition. But what

1785
01:49:15.359 --> 01:49:17.920
<v Speaker 6>President Trump's trying to do is eliminate competition and make

1786
01:49:18.000 --> 01:49:19.640
<v Speaker 6>everybody charge the same amount.

1787
01:49:19.800 --> 01:49:20.760
<v Speaker 8>That's not going to help.

1788
01:49:21.119 --> 01:49:24.399
<v Speaker 2>No, Yes, I would argue, though I would say one

1789
01:49:24.399 --> 01:49:26.239
<v Speaker 2>more thing. I'd say, if they've got that big a

1790
01:49:26.279 --> 01:49:29.960
<v Speaker 2>bad debt issue. As you point out, maybe they're not

1791
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:32.880
<v Speaker 2>doing due diligence when the makes ten credit, so maybe that.

1792
01:49:32.800 --> 01:49:35.000
<v Speaker 8>Should be a prodigence on first time home.

1793
01:49:35.680 --> 01:49:38.439
<v Speaker 6>On credit card borers, they have no assets and often

1794
01:49:38.479 --> 01:49:41.960
<v Speaker 6>no income and no credit, so the due diligence means

1795
01:49:42.239 --> 01:49:46.079
<v Speaker 6>not giving them credit, and society hates that even more.

1796
01:49:46.399 --> 01:49:49.439
<v Speaker 6>It's a risky form of credit and what they do

1797
01:49:49.720 --> 01:49:52.159
<v Speaker 6>to pay for it pay for the lack of due

1798
01:49:52.199 --> 01:49:55.359
<v Speaker 6>diligence because this is not like a home underwriting when

1799
01:49:55.399 --> 01:49:59.560
<v Speaker 6>you're looking at income verification and you have an underlying asset.

1800
01:49:59.239 --> 01:50:00.359
<v Speaker 8>You can repossess.

1801
01:50:00.720 --> 01:50:03.800
<v Speaker 6>What they do is they charged twenty percent because they're

1802
01:50:03.800 --> 01:50:08.079
<v Speaker 6>going to recover the bad debt from good payers with

1803
01:50:08.159 --> 01:50:12.039
<v Speaker 6>a higher interest rate. That's the business model. And if

1804
01:50:12.079 --> 01:50:15.119
<v Speaker 6>you take away that, then you can say, hey, we

1805
01:50:15.520 --> 01:50:18.359
<v Speaker 6>are going to have to do harder underwriting, and that

1806
01:50:18.399 --> 01:50:20.760
<v Speaker 6>means we're not going to give about two million of.

1807
01:50:20.640 --> 01:50:23.800
<v Speaker 8>You credit cards.

1808
01:50:23.800 --> 01:50:26.840
<v Speaker 2>There's trade offs right now when you look at some

1809
01:50:26.880 --> 01:50:30.880
<v Speaker 2>of the other policies of Donald Trump in terms of economics.

1810
01:50:30.920 --> 01:50:33.560
<v Speaker 2>She wrote an op ed piece for the National Review

1811
01:50:34.159 --> 01:50:37.560
<v Speaker 2>and it was titled the saddest part of this recent

1812
01:50:37.680 --> 01:50:41.319
<v Speaker 2>economic lunacy. What is the economic lunacy in your view,

1813
01:50:41.359 --> 01:50:43.159
<v Speaker 2>and what is the statust part of it?

1814
01:50:44.279 --> 01:50:46.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, in that particular article, it was all in about

1815
01:50:46.880 --> 01:50:50.039
<v Speaker 6>a four day period, I believe, where the President announced

1816
01:50:50.119 --> 01:50:52.840
<v Speaker 6>and I'm going to say some really great economic things

1817
01:50:52.880 --> 01:50:56.439
<v Speaker 6>that the President has done and hopefully will do. But

1818
01:50:56.560 --> 01:50:58.640
<v Speaker 6>what I was referring to there was the ban on

1819
01:50:58.720 --> 01:51:03.279
<v Speaker 6>institutional ownership, already talked my opinions on credit card interest

1820
01:51:03.359 --> 01:51:06.319
<v Speaker 6>caps that we've already talked about, that I'm going to

1821
01:51:06.399 --> 01:51:09.760
<v Speaker 6>make Fanny and freddie Go buy two hundred billion dollars

1822
01:51:09.760 --> 01:51:13.640
<v Speaker 6>of mortgage bonds to try to manipulate interest rates, and

1823
01:51:13.680 --> 01:51:17.119
<v Speaker 6>then saying I'm going to tell our defense companies that

1824
01:51:17.199 --> 01:51:21.600
<v Speaker 6>they can't return capital to shareholders. So our private companies

1825
01:51:21.680 --> 01:51:24.920
<v Speaker 6>like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon and Boeing, that we're not

1826
01:51:24.960 --> 01:51:28.000
<v Speaker 6>going to allow them to reward investors with dividends and

1827
01:51:28.039 --> 01:51:31.399
<v Speaker 6>stock buybacks, where As if somehow we're going to maintain

1828
01:51:32.000 --> 01:51:35.560
<v Speaker 6>our superiority and as a defense industry, if we can't

1829
01:51:35.600 --> 01:51:39.439
<v Speaker 6>attract capital, and what causes you to not attract capital

1830
01:51:39.520 --> 01:51:43.079
<v Speaker 6>is treating capital poorly. So he had all four of

1831
01:51:43.119 --> 01:51:45.520
<v Speaker 6>those ideas in about a five day period. I wrote

1832
01:51:45.560 --> 01:51:48.720
<v Speaker 6>an article at National Review criticizing all of it, and

1833
01:51:48.800 --> 01:51:51.039
<v Speaker 6>yet right now I hear that the White House is

1834
01:51:51.119 --> 01:51:57.359
<v Speaker 6>very seriously considering indexing capital gains on primary residents to inflation.

1835
01:51:58.119 --> 01:52:01.920
<v Speaker 6>That's a brilliant idea. That's a side that will enable

1836
01:52:02.000 --> 01:52:04.119
<v Speaker 6>people that want to sell a home but are holding

1837
01:52:04.159 --> 01:52:09.079
<v Speaker 6>it because the tax burden. A tremendous tax relief that

1838
01:52:09.199 --> 01:52:13.720
<v Speaker 6>incentivizes a natural flow of activity that creates new available

1839
01:52:13.760 --> 01:52:17.680
<v Speaker 6>inventory in the housing market. He in his first term

1840
01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:20.760
<v Speaker 6>reduced the corporate income tax from thirty five percent to

1841
01:52:20.840 --> 01:52:24.399
<v Speaker 6>twenty one percent in the Big Beautiful Bill Act last year,

1842
01:52:24.439 --> 01:52:26.640
<v Speaker 6>which had plenty of things in it I didn't like,

1843
01:52:26.680 --> 01:52:29.039
<v Speaker 6>and plenty of things they didn't do enough. They didn't

1844
01:52:29.079 --> 01:52:32.279
<v Speaker 6>cut spending enough, in my opinion, But it has supply

1845
01:52:32.439 --> 01:52:37.479
<v Speaker 6>side tax deductions to incentivize more business investment, full expensing,

1846
01:52:37.600 --> 01:52:39.880
<v Speaker 6>bonus appreciation deduction.

1847
01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:42.000
<v Speaker 8>For research and development. So there.

1848
01:52:42.439 --> 01:52:45.520
<v Speaker 6>I'm not a constant critic of the president's economic agenda,

1849
01:52:45.800 --> 01:52:47.640
<v Speaker 6>but I do want to call it out when some

1850
01:52:47.680 --> 01:52:50.920
<v Speaker 6>of the good things in his economic agenda are going

1851
01:52:51.000 --> 01:52:54.319
<v Speaker 6>to be impeded by the bad things in the economic agenda.

1852
01:52:54.680 --> 01:52:58.800
<v Speaker 6>And where it comes from is impatience. It's the same

1853
01:52:58.800 --> 01:53:01.600
<v Speaker 6>thing that caused Kamala Hair or Elizabeth Warren to come

1854
01:53:01.680 --> 01:53:04.520
<v Speaker 6>up with these ideas, the belief that government needs to

1855
01:53:04.560 --> 01:53:05.159
<v Speaker 6>do something.

1856
01:53:05.279 --> 01:53:05.600
<v Speaker 8>Now.

1857
01:53:06.359 --> 01:53:08.760
<v Speaker 6>Most of the time when government does something now, they

1858
01:53:08.760 --> 01:53:10.119
<v Speaker 6>make it worse, not better.

1859
01:53:10.279 --> 01:53:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, and you talk about that, you talk about

1860
01:53:12.880 --> 01:53:15.359
<v Speaker 2>human action, human freedom, You talk about some of the

1861
01:53:15.439 --> 01:53:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Austrian eco economists like Mesas and Hyak and so forth.

1862
01:53:20.800 --> 01:53:23.600
<v Speaker 2>The knowledge problem and I've always said that about centralized

1863
01:53:23.840 --> 01:53:28.399
<v Speaker 2>control and centralized planning. Even the smartest person doesn't have

1864
01:53:28.439 --> 01:53:32.600
<v Speaker 2>sufficient information to make these decisions like the marketplace does.

1865
01:53:32.720 --> 01:53:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Is kind of the invisible hand that is there. And

1866
01:53:35.960 --> 01:53:40.199
<v Speaker 2>yet do you think that they will use the idea

1867
01:53:40.479 --> 01:53:46.000
<v Speaker 2>of artificial intelligence to attack that knowledge problem? In other words,

1868
01:53:46.039 --> 01:53:49.119
<v Speaker 2>saying well, we can sort through massive amounts of information

1869
01:53:49.239 --> 01:53:52.399
<v Speaker 2>as they can with AI, they can go through and

1870
01:53:52.520 --> 01:53:56.000
<v Speaker 2>do audits of individuals and a lot of things like that,

1871
01:53:56.039 --> 01:54:00.239
<v Speaker 2>to organize and find the needle in the haystack, and

1872
01:54:00.239 --> 01:54:02.520
<v Speaker 2>then try to make that argument that we ought to

1873
01:54:02.560 --> 01:54:04.960
<v Speaker 2>let government do it with their artificial intelligence. How do

1874
01:54:04.960 --> 01:54:06.319
<v Speaker 2>you see that breaking out?

1875
01:54:07.079 --> 01:54:09.880
<v Speaker 6>If people don't fight back against this, they have no

1876
01:54:10.039 --> 01:54:13.319
<v Speaker 6>idea what kind of tyranny and statism is coming. I

1877
01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:17.439
<v Speaker 6>agree because the notion that all we're talking about the

1878
01:54:17.520 --> 01:54:20.600
<v Speaker 6>knowledge problem means they don't know what questions to ask,

1879
01:54:20.760 --> 01:54:24.479
<v Speaker 6>They don't know time and place circumstances, They don't know

1880
01:54:24.560 --> 01:54:27.359
<v Speaker 6>the immediate context the way a person who runs a

1881
01:54:27.359 --> 01:54:32.319
<v Speaker 6>trucking company in Nebraska knows or a bakery in Des Moines, Iowa,

1882
01:54:32.560 --> 01:54:36.439
<v Speaker 6>that they have local access and thought process and history

1883
01:54:37.199 --> 01:54:42.199
<v Speaker 6>and whatnot at a very imminent proximate level. That those

1884
01:54:42.239 --> 01:54:45.640
<v Speaker 6>are the decision make factors that matter most and what

1885
01:54:45.680 --> 01:54:47.119
<v Speaker 6>we do that Washington, C.

1886
01:54:47.239 --> 01:54:50.079
<v Speaker 8>Can never have the idea that AI is going to

1887
01:54:50.079 --> 01:54:51.680
<v Speaker 8>give the government the ability.

1888
01:54:51.319 --> 01:54:55.680
<v Speaker 6>To do it in a better way than that humans

1889
01:54:55.760 --> 01:54:59.479
<v Speaker 6>using their own language learning models, and then the application

1890
01:55:00.239 --> 01:55:03.800
<v Speaker 6>from that knowledge that you could say, well, AI gave

1891
01:55:03.880 --> 01:55:05.720
<v Speaker 6>us more information, so we may as well let the

1892
01:55:05.720 --> 01:55:07.960
<v Speaker 6>information go to bureaucrats in Washington, d C.

1893
01:55:08.199 --> 01:55:11.159
<v Speaker 8>Because they're really smart. Even if they.

1894
01:55:11.039 --> 01:55:15.359
<v Speaker 6>Get the information because of AI, that doesn't solve high

1895
01:55:15.520 --> 01:55:18.359
<v Speaker 6>X knowledge problems to what they do with that information.

1896
01:55:18.960 --> 01:55:23.920
<v Speaker 6>Context you guys to one's own individual, family, business, community, etc.

1897
01:55:25.560 --> 01:55:29.359
<v Speaker 6>Buying into that argument is an invitation for statist tyranny.

1898
01:55:29.800 --> 01:55:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I agree, and I'm very concerned about the AI initiative.

1899
01:55:33.079 --> 01:55:34.920
<v Speaker 2>That's one of the things that concerns me so much,

1900
01:55:35.239 --> 01:55:39.479
<v Speaker 2>the Genesis Act and clearing the clearing the decks for

1901
01:55:40.319 --> 01:55:44.399
<v Speaker 2>AI to go basically unregulated for ten years. Because there's

1902
01:55:44.439 --> 01:55:46.359
<v Speaker 2>a great deal of harm that can be done by

1903
01:55:46.399 --> 01:55:49.159
<v Speaker 2>AI by the government, there needs to be a regulation

1904
01:55:49.279 --> 01:55:52.319
<v Speaker 2>of the government's use for AI, I think, and that's

1905
01:55:52.359 --> 01:55:54.399
<v Speaker 2>one of the things that really concerns me a great deal.

1906
01:55:55.039 --> 01:55:58.800
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about a lot of different things, and I

1907
01:55:58.840 --> 01:56:02.199
<v Speaker 2>really do appreciate your perspective on it, David, and very

1908
01:56:02.199 --> 01:56:06.720
<v Speaker 2>interesting and I enjoy reading your articles. I have not

1909
01:56:06.800 --> 01:56:08.800
<v Speaker 2>read your book yet, but I'm looking forward to doing

1910
01:56:08.840 --> 01:56:10.760
<v Speaker 2>that at some point in time. I think we all

1911
01:56:10.800 --> 01:56:14.359
<v Speaker 2>need to get back to human interaction and the importance

1912
01:56:14.520 --> 01:56:18.760
<v Speaker 2>of person to person interactions, the family and the community

1913
01:56:18.840 --> 01:56:21.399
<v Speaker 2>and other things like that. And I think all this

1914
01:56:21.920 --> 01:56:24.479
<v Speaker 2>the new technology is being thrown at us. The rapidly

1915
01:56:24.520 --> 01:56:28.840
<v Speaker 2>increasing change is naturally pushing us away unless we fight

1916
01:56:28.920 --> 01:56:31.520
<v Speaker 2>against that tide. And I think it's important for us

1917
01:56:31.520 --> 01:56:34.960
<v Speaker 2>to understand where we're being, where we're drifting to. I

1918
01:56:35.079 --> 01:56:37.640
<v Speaker 2>used to go to Daytona Beach a lot with my family,

1919
01:56:38.000 --> 01:56:40.439
<v Speaker 2>and you could get pulled out with the undertowe not

1920
01:56:40.479 --> 01:56:43.119
<v Speaker 2>really realize how far you are out until the lifeguard

1921
01:56:43.159 --> 01:56:46.600
<v Speaker 2>whistled you in, And so trying to act like a

1922
01:56:46.600 --> 01:56:49.439
<v Speaker 2>lifeguard and whistle people in from this drift that is

1923
01:56:49.520 --> 01:56:52.720
<v Speaker 2>taking us out to see. And I think you've got

1924
01:56:52.720 --> 01:56:54.800
<v Speaker 2>your finger on the pulse of this. We have to

1925
01:56:54.800 --> 01:56:57.840
<v Speaker 2>get back to our interaction and our families and our

1926
01:56:57.880 --> 01:57:01.600
<v Speaker 2>relationship with God. That's very true. Thank you so much, amen.

1927
01:57:01.800 --> 01:57:05.159
<v Speaker 6>I appreciate your kind words, and I agree with you completely,

1928
01:57:05.279 --> 01:57:07.000
<v Speaker 6>and I think it's.

1929
01:57:06.880 --> 01:57:07.920
<v Speaker 8>A great analogy.

1930
01:57:08.000 --> 01:57:11.880
<v Speaker 6>We don't want to get pulled away without realizing we're

1931
01:57:11.880 --> 01:57:16.279
<v Speaker 6>getting pulled away. And yet also one of the greatest

1932
01:57:16.319 --> 01:57:19.439
<v Speaker 6>agents for change here is going to be us modeling

1933
01:57:19.520 --> 01:57:23.720
<v Speaker 6>the right behavior people. The society is not going to

1934
01:57:23.840 --> 01:57:27.000
<v Speaker 6>change if we're not changing, if we're not doing the

1935
01:57:27.079 --> 01:57:27.600
<v Speaker 6>right things.

1936
01:57:27.800 --> 01:57:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it starts with each and every one of us,

1937
01:57:29.880 --> 01:57:34.159
<v Speaker 2>and then it goes out like a pebble being dropped

1938
01:57:34.159 --> 01:57:36.119
<v Speaker 2>in a pond. You know that you get things right

1939
01:57:36.159 --> 01:57:38.560
<v Speaker 2>with yourself as much as you can, and that's going

1940
01:57:38.600 --> 01:57:41.159
<v Speaker 2>to move out to your family, your community. It's really

1941
01:57:41.199 --> 01:57:42.880
<v Speaker 2>got to come from the bottom up. It's going to

1942
01:57:42.960 --> 01:57:45.479
<v Speaker 2>happen one person at a time. We're in agreement on

1943
01:57:45.520 --> 01:57:48.600
<v Speaker 2>that as well. Thank you so much. David Monson at

1944
01:57:48.640 --> 01:57:49.439
<v Speaker 2>the Bonson Group.

1945
01:57:49.840 --> 01:57:54.199
<v Speaker 6>You have a website, yeah, so a Dividendcafe dot com

1946
01:57:54.319 --> 01:57:57.119
<v Speaker 6>is the easiest one to remember. That way, people don't

1947
01:57:57.159 --> 01:58:00.880
<v Speaker 6>have to spell anything tricky like Bonson given in cafe

1948
01:58:00.920 --> 01:58:04.560
<v Speaker 6>dot com. Plenty of my economic writing and investment writing

1949
01:58:04.600 --> 01:58:08.920
<v Speaker 6>and information there, and then for those that are interested,

1950
01:58:09.199 --> 01:58:13.920
<v Speaker 6>bonson dot com is where all of my other material, theology, politics,

1951
01:58:13.960 --> 01:58:15.479
<v Speaker 6>all that fun stuff can be found.

1952
01:58:15.680 --> 01:58:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Great, and I'll spell it for him. B A h

1953
01:58:18.039 --> 01:58:22.239
<v Speaker 2>s E N so h n s e s oh. Okay,

1954
01:58:22.279 --> 01:58:24.319
<v Speaker 2>there you go. See you just illustrated. The point for us.

1955
01:58:24.439 --> 01:58:24.840
<v Speaker 8>That's right.

1956
01:58:24.880 --> 01:58:25.600
<v Speaker 2>I did it for you.

1957
01:58:27.319 --> 01:58:29.640
<v Speaker 8>Is God gave me a lass name that is easy

1958
01:58:29.680 --> 01:58:30.640
<v Speaker 8>to find on Google.

1959
01:58:30.720 --> 01:58:32.439
<v Speaker 6>But the bad news is he gave me a last

1960
01:58:32.560 --> 01:58:34.840
<v Speaker 6>name that it has to be spelled on radio.

1961
01:58:35.079 --> 01:58:38.079
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Thank you so much, David, appreciate that. Have

1962
01:58:38.159 --> 01:58:38.600
<v Speaker 2>a good doc.

1963
01:58:39.239 --> 01:58:39.479
<v Speaker 8>Thank you.

1964
01:58:49.800 --> 01:58:56.560
<v Speaker 2>The common man they created common Core, dumbed down our children.

1965
01:58:56.920 --> 01:59:00.840
<v Speaker 2>They created common past track and control us. They're Commons

1966
01:59:00.880 --> 01:59:05.199
<v Speaker 2>project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the

1967
01:59:05.279 --> 01:59:11.640
<v Speaker 2>communist future. They see the common man as simple unsophisticated, ordinary.

1968
01:59:12.640 --> 01:59:15.920
<v Speaker 2>But each of us has worth and dignity created in

1969
01:59:15.960 --> 01:59:20.760
<v Speaker 2>the image of God. That is what we have in common.

1970
01:59:21.279 --> 01:59:24.159
<v Speaker 2>That is what they want to take away. Their most

1971
01:59:24.159 --> 01:59:29.680
<v Speaker 2>powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know

1972
01:59:29.840 --> 01:59:34.600
<v Speaker 2>everything about us, while they hide everything from us. It's

1973
01:59:34.640 --> 01:59:37.640
<v Speaker 2>time to turn that around and expose what they want

1974
01:59:37.720 --> 01:59:41.560
<v Speaker 2>to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find
