Along the same lines here, but 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,640 we're shifting a little bit from the previous two hours. 11 00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:38,359 We now have this big development of the secret coding 12 00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:41,359 that they've been using in the FBI case management system, 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,759 and coincidentally, they used it to hide all of the 14 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,840 or a lot of the information that was collected and 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,719 who was doing the collecting and all of that regarding 16 00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:56,159 the Trump Russia collusion hoax, but also the Hunter Biden 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,679 Barisma Ukraine corruption stuff. Who knows what else. But a 18 00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:03,759 couple of weeks ago, there was a story that came 19 00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:09,799 across Justthnews dot com again by Stephen Richards, that is 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,120 along the same lines, because this was a response to 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:18,280 the declassification of seven hundred pages by the FBI the 22 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,560 new director who transmitted all of this stuff over to 23 00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:28,319 Congress about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and Richards writes, while 24 00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:33,400 Democrats weaponized invented Russia collusion claims in an attempt to 25 00:01:33,439 --> 00:01:37,239 sink President Donald Trump's first term, in retrospect, the party's 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,359 leaders have often gone soft on Russia when it wanted 27 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,719 to reap financial or political benefits for themselves or allies 28 00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:49,239 from the Obama era Russian reset. Remember that and Secretary 29 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,359 of State Hillary Clinton's Skulkovo investment project to Hunter Biden's 30 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,200 business in Moscow and President Joe Biden's waiving of sanctions 31 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,159 against the Russian pipeline NY Democratic figures reaped political and 32 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,239 financial benefits from going soft on Moscow. So Justthnews dot 33 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,639 Com has made all seven hundred pages from the declassified 34 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,280 binder available now to the public. It's on their website. 35 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,159 And despite year's worth of focus on the allegations from 36 00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:23,400 the Democrats in Congress, an investigation by Special Council Robert 37 00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:29,039 Muller did not establish any criminal Trump Russia collusion. Special 38 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,960 Council John Durham, appointed to review Muller's probe, ultimately concluded 39 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,639 that neither US law enforcement nor the intelligence community appears 40 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,719 to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their 41 00:02:40,759 --> 00:02:45,319 holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, So 42 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,280 it was without merit to even begin the investigation, right. 43 00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:56,520 But of course now we find out that it wasn't 44 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:03,039 designed to actually, you know, prove a connection or collusion. 45 00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:06,319 The purpose was to make sure Donald Trump didn't win 46 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,400 the race, which that didn't work out so well. But 47 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:17,120 let's take a look at Democrats' connections to Russia. Richards 48 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,680 proceeds with Russia's two invasions of Ukraine, first in twenty 49 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,919 fourteen and then again in twenty twenty two. But in 50 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,520 the years before the invasion, Democrats enriched themselves politically and 51 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:32,960 personally from Russian oligarchs and businesses in the region, while 52 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,240 empowering Putin with energy and technology deals that still haunt 53 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,280 America today. Obama took office in early two thousand and 54 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,639 nine and then went about setting in motion the merging 55 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,120 of US business interests with the Russian economy through the 56 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,520 famous Reset. Obama's Reset began in nine as an effort 57 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,159 to cool tensions that had heated up when Russia invaded 58 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,080 Georgia in two thousand and eight and installed Stacy Abrams 59 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,120 as the governor. I'm just kidding, it's George of the country. 60 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,000 The reset. Remember when Hillary Clinton went over and met 61 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,199 with the Russian guy and had that stupid red reset button. Right. 62 00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,680 That set the stage then for several prominent Democrats and 63 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,879 their benefactors to profit from the burgeoning business opportunities in 64 00:04:24,959 --> 00:04:30,360 Russia being facilitated by the Obama administration. Right, we're resetting everybody. 65 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,079 We're going to pretend that you didn't do the things 66 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,319 you did. And you remember Obama told Mitt Romney when 67 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:43,240 Romney said that Russia is our greatest geopolitical foe, and 68 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,519 Obama said the nineteen eighties called they want their foreign 69 00:04:47,519 --> 00:04:57,399 policy backed reset. We're friends now, Why sure, we'll do 70 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,600 business with you. In one case, the policy of Obama's 71 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,079 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to support and develop Russia's 72 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:12,120 silicon valley known as Skulkovo may have undermined US national security, 73 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,160 while the family's Clinton Foundation pocketed donations from Russian donors. 74 00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:23,199 That's so off brand for the Clintons. Hillary Clinton was 75 00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:25,879 appointed to represent the United States at the newly formed 76 00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:31,360 US Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission. She helped direct investments from 77 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,480 US partners to the venture, which had already received five 78 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,480 million dollars in funding from Moscow that According to Peter 79 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,439 Schweitzer in his twenty fifteen book Clinton Cash, the Skulkovo 80 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,680 project received backing and support from Clinton Foundation donors like Google, Intel, 81 00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:55,920 and Cisco. Additionally, donations from Russian businessmen tied to the 82 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:02,160 Skulkovo project then flowed to the Clinton Foundation. Bill Clinton, 83 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,560 you may recall, collected a half a million dollar speaking 84 00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:10,480 fee from a Russian investment bank, Renaissance Capital. The speech 85 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,920 came at the same time that Hillary was opposing sanctions 86 00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:20,839 on Russian officials that later became the Mgnitsky Act. Does 87 00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:26,720 that sound familiar the Mgnitsky Act, right, That was the 88 00:06:26,879 --> 00:06:32,120 cover story, the ruse for the meeting at Trump Tower 89 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:41,560 between the Russian woman and Donald Trump Junior. I think 90 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,720 Eric Trump was there, maybe Corey Lewandowski. I forget who 91 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,399 all was there, but this was and I said at 92 00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:50,360 the time, I was like, this has all of the 93 00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:58,759 hallmarks of a honey trap. The Mgnitzky Act about Biden 94 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,959 in Moscow. Biden said at the Munich Security Conference in 95 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:10,120 two thousand and nine, It's time to burst, which translates 96 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,199 to its time to press the reset button. Hunter Biden, 97 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,279 the Vice President's son, and his business partners, took full 98 00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:22,199 advantage of the new thaw in relations. They waged a 99 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,480 concerted campaign to squeeze oligarchs in Putin's country for investments, 100 00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:30,439 an effort that ultimately paved the way for the first 101 00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:34,800 son to score the big payday from Beisma. Hunter Biden 102 00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:37,879 and his partner's pursuit of Russian riches began as early 103 00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:41,079 as twenty ten, when the Reset was entering full swing 104 00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:45,839 with payments from a Moscow based machinery firm and its patriarch, 105 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,079 and they intensified a few years later at a time 106 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,160 when Joe Biden's son was actually still serving as a 107 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,040 US naval officer. Along the way, Hunter Biden and his partner, 108 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,920 like Devin Archer, discussed plans to open up a mob 109 00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:04,759 Scout office for their Rosemont Seneca partner's firm. They wanted 110 00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:08,680 to create a US Russia business coalition and pursue a 111 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,279 real estate venture with one oligarch that would have topped 112 00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:17,439 out at a billion dollars. Rosemont Seneca was working on 113 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,560 developing a real estate fund targeting the potentially lucrative Russian 114 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:29,480 market as relations thought, and finally, Russia invaded Ukraine in 115 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,000 the spring of twenty fourteen. According to Devon Archer's testimony 116 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,120 to Congress during the impeachment in Koreanto Joe Biden, he 117 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,320 and Biden Hunter Biden scrambled to recover their business and 118 00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,759 looked for investors based outside of Russia, which eventually led 119 00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:49,879 to Hunter Biden's now infamous work for Beisma. Yet, despite 120 00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:53,320 publicly touting his criticism of Russia and Putin, as well 121 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,200 as warnings that the country was America's biggest threat at 122 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,000 the time, President Biden waived all sanctions on the Nordstream 123 00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:06,080 to gas pipeline, sacrificing a policy of preventing Russia from 124 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,679 exploiting its gas supplies in order to improve relations with 125 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,360 Nordstream customers, who were our European allies. 126 00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:15,039 Speaker 2: Right. 127 00:09:15,159 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: So again, when they're not weaponizing Russia against Trump, they're 128 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,080 cutting lucrative deals with Russians. Here's a great idea. How 129 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,200 about making an escape to a really special and secluded 130 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,039 getaway in western North Carolina.

The Associated Press headline 151 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:49,840 Trump orders investigation into Biden's actions as president. President Donald 152 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,120 Trump directed his administration on Wednesday to investigate Joe Biden's 153 00:10:54,159 --> 00:11:00,360 actions as president, alleging aids masked his predecessors cognitive decline 154 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,399 and casting doubts on the legitimacy of his use of 155 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,240 the auto pen to sign pardons and other documents. Joe Biden, 156 00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:11,399 by the way, has since come out and said. 157 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: You did right. 158 00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:18,039 Speaker 1: I onder the code red. Actually he didn't say it. 159 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:24,080 Somebody from the Joe Biden camp issued a statement, so 160 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,720 we don't even know if Joe Biden said this, But 161 00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:32,200 the Joe Biden team put out a statement ostensibly from 162 00:11:32,279 --> 00:11:36,320 Joe Biden saying I did everything. I signed everything. Nobody 163 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,159 ever did anything except me, So that settles that. I 164 00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:46,360 guess right. The order marked a significant escalation in Trump's 165 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,440 targeting of political adversaries, or it it's to expose the 166 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,000 biggest political scandal in US history. I mean either way, 167 00:11:54,080 --> 00:12:01,200 ap right, like tomato tomato there. But notice the way 168 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:08,639 the Associated Press ascribes motive and escalates things like they 169 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,320 call this the significant escalation in Trump's targeting of political adversaries, 170 00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:20,000 or is it possible that Joe Biden might actually be 171 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,399 involved in one of the biggest scandals and that that 172 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,879 means we need to investigate that, because that's what Trump 173 00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:31,200 is ordering an investigation and we'll see what it turns up. 174 00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:38,480 That's the point of an investigation. Biden response. It also 175 00:12:38,519 --> 00:12:41,200 could lay the groundwork at ap reports could lay the 176 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,000 groundwork for arguments by the Republican that a range of 177 00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:52,519 Biden's actions as president were invalid or invalid in this case, Yes, 178 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,600 it would. That's why it needs to be investigated. If 179 00:12:56,759 --> 00:13:00,720 people were signing the auto pen and Joe didn't know 180 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,799 anything about it, it would raise that prospect. The only 181 00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:08,879 reason why you would not want to have an investigation 182 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,879 is if you don't want to unwind the things that 183 00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:21,320 were signed, right. Biden responded in a statement, he said, Hey, 184 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,240 I'm kidding. He says this, and again we don't know 185 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:28,440 if it's because it says Biden responded, but he didn't respond. 186 00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:33,000 Somebody in Biden world set out a statement. It says, 187 00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:36,799 let me be clear, which means you were obviously were 188 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,720 not clear. Prior or you're about to try to muddy 189 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,559 some stuff up. But he says, I made the decisions 190 00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:47,240 during my presidency, Jack, I made the decisions about the pardons, 191 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:53,200 executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Look fat. Any suggestion that 192 00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:58,200 I didn't is ridiculous and false. So I was adding those. 193 00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,120 I was adding the namelling in there, just to make 194 00:14:01,159 --> 00:14:05,440 it sound more like Joe. You know, the Justice Department, 195 00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:10,039 under Democrat and Republican administrations has recognized the use of 196 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,399 an auto pen to sign legislation and issue pardons for decades. 197 00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:17,559 Trump presented no evidence that Biden was unaware of the 198 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,679 actions taken in his name, and the president's absolute pardon 199 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,639 power is enshrined in the US Constitution. Okay, Trump presented 200 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,519 no evidence. Are you aware? Associated Press reporter Matt Brown 201 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,000 and Chris Megerian, Jake Tapper, and Alex Thompson have a 202 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,840 book out. I think it's called I think it's called 203 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,639 Original Sin. Yeah, you may want to read that because 204 00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:42,759 I kind of feel like there's some stuff in the 205 00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:47,799 book that would be evidence, I mean, aside from like 206 00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:52,440 your own observation of Joe Biden's cognitive decline, which you 207 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:55,799 did not want to report on for the last five years. 208 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,960 Later on the piece says it's unclear how far Trump 209 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,679 will push this effort, which would face certain legal challenges, 210 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,080 but it reflects his fixation on Biden, who defeated him 211 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,159 in twenty twenty, an election that Trump never conceded and 212 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,519 continues to falsely claim was rigged against him. Again, there 213 00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:18,759 it is making it personal, like they're in Trump's brain. 214 00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:23,000 This is a hallmark of or a symptom of TDS 215 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:28,679 Trump arrangement syndrome. And this occurs among anti Trumpers and 216 00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:33,679 also pro Trumpers where they and I'm talking like your 217 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:41,080 hardcore pro and anti they ascribe motive and they think 218 00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:45,000 that they know what Trump is really thinking when he 219 00:15:45,039 --> 00:15:48,440 does things or says things. And I will be the 220 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,360 Trump whisperer for you. I will tell you what this 221 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,960 is really about. I have learned over the last eight 222 00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:59,039 years to ignore these people. Anybody that tries to tell 223 00:15:59,039 --> 00:16:03,200 me what Trump is actually thinking, pro or con, I 224 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,799 dismiss because you don't. You don't know that. And this 225 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,200 is what the AP is doing here too. They're talking 226 00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:15,799 this up to a fixation on Biden, and they are 227 00:16:15,879 --> 00:16:20,120 leading you to believe that it's because Joe Biden beat him, 228 00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:22,519 and Trump is just a sore loser and he never 229 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:25,159 got over it, and that's why he's fixated on Joe Biden. 230 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:30,759 Or maybe, just maybe it's that a scandal of historic 231 00:16:30,919 --> 00:16:34,480 proportions occurred and the only way to find out what 232 00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:38,159 really happened is to actually have an investigation to find 233 00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:43,960 out what really happened. The Republican inquiry so far has 234 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,240 focused on the final executive actions of the Biden administration, 235 00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:50,960 which included the issuing of new federal rules and presidential 236 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,000 pardons that they claim may be invalid. Right, well, they 237 00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:57,000 may be, especially if he did a whole bunch of 238 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,440 executive orders that rewrote a whole bunch of rules that 239 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,960 have the potential to hamstring or crash the economy various industries. 240 00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:11,920 Right The House Oversight Chairman James Comer of Kentucky requested 241 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,880 transcribed interviews with five Biden aides, alleging they had participated 242 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,519 in a cover up that amounted to one of the 243 00:17:18,519 --> 00:17:22,559 greatest scandals in our nation's history. Quote. These five former 244 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:27,400 senior advisors were eyewitnesses to President Biden's condition and operations 245 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,839 within the White House. They must appear before the House 246 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,119 Oversight Committee and provide truthful answers about Biden's cognitive decline 247 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,519 and who was calling the shots. They have requested interviews 248 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:45,119 with former senior advisors Mike Donnellan and Anita Dunn, former 249 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,559 White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, former Deputy Chief 250 00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:54,319 of Staff Bruce Reid, and Steve Rochetti, former counselor to 251 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:59,119 the President. He's also calling for Biden's physician, Kevin O'Connor 252 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,799 to come in, as well as former senior White House 253 00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:08,279 aides Annie Tomasini, Anthony Bernald, Ashley Williams, and near A 254 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,680 Tanden to appear before the committee, and he said subpoenas 255 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:20,279 would be issued if they refused to schedule voluntary interviews. 256 00:18:21,039 --> 00:18:26,599 Comer cites the book Original Sin, which details concerns and 257 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,759 debates inside the White House and the Democrat Party over 258 00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:34,400 Biden's mental state and his age. In the book, Tapper 259 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,720 and Thompson wrote, quote, five people were running the country 260 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,880 and Joe Biden was at best a senior member of 261 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:47,079 the board. See do you think that might be evidence? Right? 262 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,200 Donald Trump calling for an investigation into Joe Biden, but 263 00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:53,000 he didn't cite any evidence. There's a whole freaking book, 264 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,680 all right. So spring is here a time of renewal 265 00:18:55,799 --> 00:19:00,359 and celebrations.

All the other media 329 00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:11,839 are getting here tomorrow because Greg Younkin, the governor of 330 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,000 Virginia who's running for you as a keynote speaker tomorrow night, 331 00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:17,480 and they're all coming in tomorrow. But I've been the 332 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,680 literally the only media piece of person here, which is 333 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,480 the way I love it. 334 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: Well, be careful, there could be some like Project Veritas, 335 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,559 people from the left brand. They could be doing some 336 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,319 undercover stings on you guys. So just head on a swivel, Brett, 337 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,119 head on a swivel. All right, So let's talk about 338 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,839 some of the stuff though that has I heard your 339 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,079 report at the bottom of the hour there about what 340 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,440 this election integrity stuff. It's what a nation this is 341 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,880 at the national level, but it's informed or inspired by 342 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,599 what occurred here in North Carolina. 343 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly right. You know. You know, Dave Warren 344 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,160 I directly underneath or in conjunction with Michael Walley, the 345 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,279 former head of the North Kundra Republican Party who's now 346 00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:03,319 the head of the RNE, but together they basically started 347 00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:06,839 this program of election integrity where they went around they 348 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,640 said Okay, we have to make sure that all one 349 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,079 hundred counties are covered. We have to make sure that 350 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,599 all twenty six hundred precincts are covered. How are we 351 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,319 going to do that. Here's what we're going to do. 352 00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:18,680 We're going to hire a bunch of lawyers and have 353 00:23:18,759 --> 00:23:22,119 them on standby. And so they wound up there's exactly 354 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,039 one hundred counties in North Carolina. They hired over six 355 00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:29,640 hundred lawyers to make sure that during the early votings 356 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,400 in the primaries in our election days, that everything was 357 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,079 being held. And the Democrats sort of didn't know what 358 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,160 hit them, and they made sure that, oh, you're crossing 359 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,000 the line, you can't be here, you're too close to 360 00:23:41,039 --> 00:23:44,480 the ballots, you can't say this like, And the Democrats 361 00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:46,680 truly probably didn't know what hit them. And then they 362 00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:49,680 incorporated that with Michael Walley and made that national this 363 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,920 past election in twenty twenty four, where they hired thousands 364 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,640 and to make sure every precinct in America was covered. 365 00:23:56,799 --> 00:23:59,200 But it all started with the blueprints right here. 366 00:23:59,039 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: In North Carolina. This yeah, because Republican election officials and 367 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,799 such have been caught flat footed so many times when 368 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,920 challenges come in or there are you know, irregularities or 369 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,559 complaints or something, and by the time they are able 370 00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:16,759 to you know, muster any kind of lawyer to get 371 00:24:16,799 --> 00:24:19,839 down to the site or to file a brief somewhere, 372 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,160 it's already too late. And so after multiple election cycles, 373 00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:27,680 like I was happy to see them do that this 374 00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:31,000 past cycle because it needed to be done. And you know, 375 00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:34,240 you've got this this machine on the left that is 376 00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:37,279 constantly filing lawsuits. They've got an army of attorneys, and 377 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:39,599 the Republicans were just not even playing the game, it 378 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,119 seemed like. So, yeah, that's a that's a positive development. Absolutely. 379 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,000 So what else is going on? I know, when people 380 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,720 are hanging around the day before drinking some adult beverages 381 00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:56,319 and such, some rumors start circulating around around the place. 382 00:24:56,319 --> 00:24:57,960 And so what are some of the juicy ones you've 383 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:58,559 heard so far? 384 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I tell you the three biggest rumors 385 00:25:01,839 --> 00:25:03,720 that are going on, and I'll do these quickly, but 386 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,160 let's just start in no particular order. And Number one 387 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,240 Senate majority of the North Carolina Senate Majority leader Phil Berger, 388 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,880 and he's in a fight for his life to win 389 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,920 the primary, just to win his own primary, Like it is, 390 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,799 and a lot of people up here truly think that 391 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,400 he's going to lose. And it's so close. In fact, 392 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,359 people believe it's so cless that he knows that he 393 00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:25,480 very well may lose up in Rockingham County by the way, 394 00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:28,480 up just north of Greensboro. But the fact that he 395 00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:31,079 may lose is he actually set up they have tables 396 00:25:31,079 --> 00:25:35,359 here with candidates and different different clubs and Republican clubs 397 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,960 and stuff like that. He actually set up a table 398 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,680 here and he's never had a table here as far 399 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,599 as I know, and saying, hey, vote for Phil Berger, 400 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,960 vote for Phil Burger, support Phil Berger, donate for Phil Berger. 401 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: And so yeah, he's already putting out campaign material as well. 402 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,079 That's a sign also, right Yeah, the local sheriff is 403 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,240 challenging him in the primary, and the local sheriff is 404 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:58,319 very popular. 405 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: Exactly, and they know that the current Senate majority leader 406 00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:05,720 may not actually win his own primary. So yes, that 407 00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:09,119 is a big thing right now. And then another big 408 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,839 rumor is whether or not, you know, and this has 409 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,960 been going on for a while, and I've been talking 410 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,680 to people about this for over a month, is whether 411 00:26:14,759 --> 00:26:16,440 or not Tom Tillis is going to run for reelection. 412 00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:18,519 I can tell you a lot of people in d 413 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,920 C thought the answer was no. People in Raleigh a 414 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,599 couple of weeks ago were unsure. And then to this, 415 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,319 you know, this weekend, they think, yeah, he's most likely 416 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,400 going to run, but they don't know. And the but 417 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,519 the thing is that if he doesn't want run, it's 418 00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:36,039 almost a guarantee. I would I would put a lot 419 00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:38,160 of money on this that Michael Wattley will run for 420 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,720 US Senate on the Republican side for North Carolina against 421 00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:44,160 Jeff Jackson. That's probably going to be the matchup. And 422 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,720 but right, but here's the here's the. 423 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: Tillis does not run gets in you think. 424 00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 3: Right, right? 425 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,759 Speaker 1: Well, got like I said it, right? 426 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,599 Speaker 2: You know the other big thing, Pete, Yeah, let's let's 427 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,279 say that Tillis doesn't. Let's say Tillis decide stun Is 428 00:27:01,599 --> 00:27:04,079 Michael Watley still going to primary him, probably with the 429 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,240 endorsement of Donald Trump. 430 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:05,839 Speaker 4: Hmmm. 431 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,799 Speaker 1: I don't know how this whole thing shakes out with 432 00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:11,559 the BBB, but yeah, maybe. 433 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know. And then the other big 434 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,559 Josh Stein was on Stephen Colbert earlier this week. Yeah, 435 00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:20,880 and all the scuttle butt is that Josh Stein is 436 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,359 telling people privately that he wants to be America's first 437 00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:26,759 Jewish president, and that he has no interest in the 438 00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:29,440 US Senate whatsoever. The only problem is is that he's 439 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,079 going to maybe have a hard time getting ahead of Shapiro, 440 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,839 the governor of Pennsylvania, who's actually clearly liked by a 441 00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:36,519 lot of people on the right, the center, and the 442 00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:40,039 left up there in Pennsylvania. But he's telling from everything 443 00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:43,119 that I've been told today, that he is telling people 444 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,119 privately that he actually wants to make a run for 445 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,200 the presidency, and he's starting to put out feelers. And 446 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,319 that's why he did Stephen Colbert earlier this week. 447 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: That would be awesome if he's only a one term governor. 448 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,519 Oh yes, make it happen. Okay, all right, if you're 449 00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:56,319 listening to this show, you know I try to keep 450 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,119 up with all sorts of current events, and I know 451 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,599 you do too, And you've probably heard me say get 452 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,519 your news from multiple sources.

Yeah, yeah, has like the colloquialisms 477 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,599 and stuff of John Kennedy. I'm a big fan of 478 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,200 John Kennedy's too, me too. Sometimes I think is his 479 00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:29,200 colloquialism seem a bit forced. Yeah, like he shoehorned some 480 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,799 of them in there. Yeah, that one was not a 481 00:29:31,799 --> 00:29:34,039 good one. But most of the time he's like spot on. 482 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,680 All right. So, Clay Higgins has filed federal legislation requiring 483 00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:41,400 drug tests for all members of Congress. 484 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:46,279 Speaker 3: Oh, all day, every day, right, and four times on Nancy. 485 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you would need four. I think 486 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,359 the first one would probably pop. 487 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 4: No. 488 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: I think it's important because I remember there was some 489 00:29:55,359 --> 00:29:58,079 study or some report that came out gosh, it must 490 00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:00,680 have been twenty years ago, and it was like the 491 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,240 it was about like the Congressional pharmacy or something. Do 492 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,359 you remember this where they were It was like, oh, yes, 493 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,960 here are all the meds that they're like they were 494 00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:11,799 like fulfilling this. They were filling the scripts for the 495 00:30:11,799 --> 00:30:14,319 members of Congress and then they would like deliver them 496 00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:14,920 to their office. 497 00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:16,759 Speaker 3: It was the infirmary they called it. I think it 498 00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:17,079 was the. 499 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: Infirmary, dispensary dispenser. I think it was dispensary and like 500 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,680 the list of drugs there was, there were there were 501 00:30:24,759 --> 00:30:27,640 drugs on that list that were like anti dementia drugs. 502 00:30:27,839 --> 00:30:28,559 Speaker 3: Of course, why not? 503 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: Well now we know why, right? 504 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:32,279 Speaker 3: Well? 505 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, I mean I feel like if we've 506 00:30:36,519 --> 00:30:39,839 got a bunch of uh, you know, crack adult or 507 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,039 meth addicted lawmakers like, yeah, I mean you get drug 508 00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:46,920 tested it? Right? Did we get drug tested for this job? 509 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:49,920 I don't remember. 510 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,599 Speaker 5: Well, I was in like I was here at COVID time, 511 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:54,880 So I don't think that there was really any of 512 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,440 that going on, right, that's true. I mean people were 513 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,880 getting high and drunk every night right around the country, right, 514 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:02,759 But I don't think there was. 515 00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 3: I think they kind of suspended. 516 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 5: The drug test drug testing during that period. 517 00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:11,119 Speaker 1: I think. By the way, pro tip here, never ask 518 00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:15,319 your prospective employer whether you passed your drug test or not. 519 00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:17,319 It really don't do that. 520 00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:19,599 Speaker 3: Don't do why. I mean, I'm clean as a whistle. 521 00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:23,079 Speaker 1: Well, it may send a signal. 522 00:31:22,759 --> 00:31:25,119 Speaker 3: I had some poppy seeds last night on my bagel. 523 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: That's right. It may send a signal that you're you're 524 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,119 you know, unclear as to whether or not you would pass. 525 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,319 Speaker 3: Oh, okay, so it's right. There's I get it right. 526 00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:39,279 Speaker 1: You're just sending a signal, that's all. That's How about 527 00:31:39,279 --> 00:31:45,319 this Trump administration institutes an eighty hour Constitution course for 528 00:31:45,559 --> 00:31:47,880 quote deep state executives. 529 00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:51,039 Speaker 3: That is so good in English? 530 00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:54,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, this would be for senior executive service, the upper 531 00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:57,319 echelon of government employees. They would have to do an 532 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:04,079 eighty hour Wow Constitution and course, eighty hours of video 533 00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:06,599 based training. I love it, and culminates in two days 534 00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:07,839 of in person training. 535 00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:09,079 Speaker 2: My own. 536 00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 3: It is so good. 537 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: My only concern is that they learn more about the 538 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,359 Constitution and then they figure out more ways to get 539 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:17,039 around to. 540 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,039 Speaker 3: Stick it to us. Yeah, that's a very good point. 541 00:32:19,559 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 4: We ignorance is bliss, and they may make mistakes. Why 542 00:32:24,039 --> 00:32:26,640 don't we do like a jury, like a jury poll 543 00:32:26,799 --> 00:32:30,640 system where it's like every eighth person has to go 544 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:31,960 and take the thing. 545 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: Oh how about everybody still takes it? But then we 546 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,680 select from pools and they have to give reports. I 547 00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:40,039 like that. They have to get up in front of 548 00:32:40,039 --> 00:32:44,920 the class. I like that. Why not? All right, that'll 549 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,599 do it for this episode.
