WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.160 Ross right him back, tell him we will, but only 2 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:07.679 for three weeks, okay, and then we're out of here again. Okay, good. Yeah, 3 00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:10.759 this time of the year, man, this time of the year, 4 00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:15.279 putting these two holidays so close together. But yeah, we'll 5 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.039 chuck it out here for the next three weeks. I 6 00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.519 do have to say this though, and I have I've 7 00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:26.320 mentioned this phenomena on the show previously. The example I 8 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:31.960 always use is Barack Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize, 9 00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:37.039 and the phenomena is I get the prep done, I 10 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.280 send the prep over, or in this case with the 11 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.600 Obama thing, I was the person doing the prep. I 12 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.320 had Ross's job essentially, and I just got it all 13 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:51.320 put together. Everything's fine now. In this case, I went 14 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.000 to sleep that night. I woke up next morning and 15 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.280 immediately I flip on our radio station, which was the 16 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.759 talk station of Minneapolis that I worked at, and you know, 17 00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.200 we got Fox News run on top bottom of the hour, 18 00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.000 and there it is, there's the notifications on my phone, 19 00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:13.359 and it essentially renders the prep packet that you just 20 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:18.719 did more of a if we need it right, because 21 00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.359 it's no longer the biggest story out there, and that's 22 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.400 what happened yesterday. And by the way, the first prep 23 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.799 packet back from a vacation is usually pretty cumbersome because 24 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.560 I don't have my rollover stories. So every day when 25 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.079 we do this, we have a prep It literally is 26 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.359 a word document that Ross produces from links and other 27 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.400 stuff that I send him, and then you know, anything 28 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:46.200 he sees, and then it just goes in there right, 29 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.319 And a lot of times we don't get to stories 30 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.359 because we ramble or we get a lot of calls 31 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.680 on something I didn't think we would, And that's okay, 32 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:58.760 and if it's good enough, I copy and paste the 33 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.920 story to another document that I have, which is just 34 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.719 a never ending rollover thing right with the date on there. 35 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.719 The problem when you're gone for a week is most 36 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.080 of those stories then, unless they're super evergreen, are are gone. 37 00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.599 So I just want to point out that it was 38 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:19.120 a heavier lift than usual. Plus you got to get 39 00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.439 your head back in it. Yeah, that's uh. Ross and 40 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.719 I work on Sundays putting the prep packet together for Monday, 41 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.560 and you don't want to. Usually, if we have any 42 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.039 decent amount of time off. As soon as I send 43 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.039 the first email to Ross, I get a text that 44 00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.840 just says nope, So right, that's how we feel about it. 45 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.159 And what do you what was it five minutes after 46 00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:47.120 I sent all the prep yesterday the President decides to 47 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:51.199 pardon his kid. But I had judge what time did 48 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.240 I text Ross on this? Maybe it was a little 49 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:54.680 after that? 50 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:57.199 Do you do you. 51 00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:01.479 It would have been their thirty six minutes after the 52 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:07.800 prep was sent. We get the we get the notification there, 53 00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.400 and as you can imagine, we got to talk about this. 54 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.159 But I have a I have a few different ways 55 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.159 that I want to approach that story. And it's not 56 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.000 the only story we're gonna do, obviously, but it's it. 57 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:27.120 It's one of the crazier ones, and the justification for 58 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.159 it is amazing too. First and foremost, what I want 59 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.360 you to I want you to take time to do 60 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:40.360 today is pay very special attention to how different websites, 61 00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:44.479 news outlets, all of it, choose to handle it and 62 00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.199 and the story that they the stories, and the wording 63 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.520 of the stories. And you don't even have to go 64 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.360 back and dig through their archives to figure out all 65 00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.840 those times that were like, oh, Trump gets it, He's 66 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:00.800 gonna pardon his whole family. We can't let him do it, it 67 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.680 would be a constitutional crisis. You can just wait, just 68 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:08.199 write because if you see, if you see somebody writing 69 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.639 a story today that in some way, shape or form, 70 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:19.920 isn't the same absolute lunacy freak out that they give 71 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.519 Trump for just little stuff, man, like what was what 72 00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.680 was the one that like some of Avanka's merch was 73 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:32.279 made overseas or something, I mean, just stupid stuff. If 74 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.319 you see a measure, a more measured approach to this, 75 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.759 by the way, a thing that Joe Biden promised all 76 00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:41.720 his media buddies in a press conference he would not do, 77 00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.959 I believe. In an interview to John Harwood over at CNN, 78 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:52.079 he said the same thing. So as as as you 79 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.120 watch this, I then want you to watch the things 80 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.040 that come up on the Trump side. I'll give you 81 00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.720 an example. Could you could be Trump, It could be 82 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:04.199 his points. Ross, did you see about kash Ptel, the 83 00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.560 guy they nominated for the FBI director. Did you see 84 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:08.360 the scandal already unfolding around this? 85 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:08.680 Dude? 86 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.120 This is uh and this hit me hard. And I 87 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:14.879 because Ross and I are of the We were in 88 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.480 high school in the nineties, right, we graduated. Where are 89 00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:22.160 you ninety seven? Or ninety eight, ninety seven, ninety seven. 90 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.720 All right, so we're right in the meat of this, 91 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.319 and like I was horrified to learn this. So the 92 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.360 guy who the FBI is absolutely not pleased with the 93 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.399 people that work there. And here's what you got to 94 00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.959 know about Patel. Among other things, he held a an 95 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.920 appointed position during the first Trump administration and his basically 96 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.279 his only job was to uncover all of the players 97 00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.279 and the moving parts and everything of the Russian collusion hoax, 98 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.040 which means he was crawling around DC for a couple 99 00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.879 of years. And you know, and prior to that, he 100 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.360 worked for he you know, he worked for campaign, he 101 00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:06.720 worked for members of the administration, He worked for a 102 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:10.160 member of Congress, like you know, the dudes known in 103 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.519 Washington circles. And then one day his job is to 104 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.000 name or is to find out the names. Let's figure 105 00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:18.959 let's you know, let's let's let's figure out who these 106 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.199 intelligence officials are. Let's figure out who the reporters. Uh, 107 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.360 let's figure out the how they were double dipping sources 108 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.120 like with the Yahoo thing for the FISA warrants. This 109 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.920 is what this is all he worked on. So around 110 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:35.240 Washington people knew that this dude was sleuth and all 111 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.920 this stuff. So they hate him. They hate him. So 112 00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.040 the idea that you would put him in charge of 113 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:48.160 the FBI, Oh yeah, there's Honestly, if I had to 114 00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.000 make a most likely to be assassinated list, this dude's 115 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:52.120 right up in the top three. 116 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.399 Man, I don't know, dude, I wouldn't touch him. You 117 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.680 saw his photo, right, what? Yeah? Stearing it and I 118 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.959 don't know if it's like a scared a crazy look. 119 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:03.199 Well that that's what you kind of want to go 120 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.079 for it, make them and make them wonder what you're think. 121 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.839 It's a great photo, yeah, but none of it matters. 122 00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:10.600 It looks like a wrestling promo photo. 123 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.000 You haven't. None of it matters. Are you ready for 124 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:21.360 this from Politico? Mm hmm, let me just read the 125 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.079 actual Uh. This is from Jacqueline Sweet, who is a 126 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.319 writer there. She says she has a source, someone who 127 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.399 went to high school with Kash Patel, and according to 128 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:39.120 her source, Patel was known to have parties at his 129 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.199 house when his parents weren't there in the ninety nineties 130 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.800 house party parents weren't there. 131 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:46.639 Dude, I heard he turn it into a brothel. 132 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.199 Old Well, oh, you're missing the second half of this. 133 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.040 Are you sitting Are you sitting at Ross is seated? 134 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.680 Ross is seated? Okay, good, and I hope you all 135 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:59.120 are too. Because Pottel's family also had a room in 136 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:01.759 their house, which was a dedicated prayer room, I guess, 137 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.920 but it doesn't matter. They had a room in their house, 138 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:10.079 and it's told in the legend of the Petel house 139 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:15.720 party that two boys may have hooked up with two 140 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:19.720 girls in that room during the party when his parents 141 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:25.720 weren't there. So I don't know how you can put 142 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:30.000 this guy in charge of the FBI. Clearly, clearly he's 143 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.240 not that. He did no no, no, no no. Some 144 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.919 people at the party when his parents were out. And 145 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.120 as you know, in the nineties, we had no concept 146 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:45.159 of house parties. Nothing. The Roz I'm assuming it's connected 147 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.360 to you guys didn't pull this stuff right where there'd 148 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.320 be parties where parents were gone in the midd. 149 00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.039 We definitely didn't do that on my buddy's Phil Phil's house. 150 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:54.919 That didn't all. I didn't do that. Definitely didn't do that. 151 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.799 It's good, and it sounds like you're qualified to be FBI. 152 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.840 Tell us clearly not Also like to say in my 153 00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:02.960 own defense, the same did not happen at my buddy 154 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:03.519 Mike's house. 155 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:07.720 Oh okay, yeah, you know what, this is good. We're 156 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.600 going to sell on the record, and I will say 157 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.120 that we have fish and derby, which is a thing 158 00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:15.320 at the very end of summer Labor day weekend up 159 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.679 Buffalo and then everybody goes out to lake to smet 160 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:21.879 and even the high schoolers. We'll pitch a bunch of tents, 161 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.200 and we might have consumed some beverages and there may 162 00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:29.600 have made I clearly was not at an incident where 163 00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.600 at about one in the morning where there's a group 164 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.039 of about I don't know, ten guys ten gals sitting there. 165 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:40.360 All of a sudden, Darren, Chris and Rainy come running 166 00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:42.360 out of the woods and there's a cliff you jump 167 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.519 off into the water. It's only about eight feet and 168 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:48.159 that's where we camp stark naked streaking it and then 169 00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.120 boom into the lake while while the girls all screamed 170 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:57.320 and everybody left. That did not happen at all. In fact, 171 00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:00.279 you know what, Actually I was just maybe we could 172 00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:04.360 hit Biden to pardon him, maybe we get Biden to 173 00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:08.600 part in him. Then we don't have to worry about 174 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.200 any of this stuff. Do you understand the scope? Obviously 175 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.399 I'm being tongue in cheekum ptell what absolute lunacy ross 176 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.919 I seem to remember I was thinking thinking back hearing 177 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.879 about this once no, no, no, twice, no no, no, 178 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:30.039 three times from some mystical oracles in the nineties named 179 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:34.120 kid and Play. Are you familiar with these guys because 180 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:38.279 they did weigh in on this house party thing. And 181 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.559 I'm just glad in Wyoming we didn't pull this stuff. 182 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.879 Absolutely, you don't even have houses in Wyoming to do 183 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:45.360 this stuff. 184 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.480 Now, we have cabins, right, we would just we'd each 185 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:52.000 go because everybody who's in ranching they have stock cabins, right, 186 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.480 So when your cows are up on the mountains, there's 187 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.039 a cabin up there. Let me use them for hunting 188 00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.440 and party. So and we never had any parties at 189 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.559 the Asponda cabin, Mitch's, not Johnasponda's because John's crazy, but 190 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:12.399 never at Mitch's cabin ever every weekend. Yeah, So, going 191 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.759 back to the Biden thing, you need to understand the 192 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.960 scope of this because he didn't just pardon him on 193 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:23.960 that gun charge. He pardoned him on anything any federal 194 00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:30.480 crime from twenty fourteen to now. That's an interesting number, 195 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:34.919 isn't it. Twenty fourteen to now. I mean, yes, I 196 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.279 understand that, but also to include all that stuff and 197 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:39.799 not simply the two things he was to be sentenced 198 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.840 on here in just a couple of weeks. Actually you went, 199 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:49.200 you did the whole thing. Well, if you do the 200 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:53.600 whole thing, that's also going to include uh oh, look 201 00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.080 at that the time he was on the boards for 202 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.200 Barisma and also doing the China deal. That literally covers 203 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:08.120 the scope of that. And this excuse, this excuse that 204 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:14.840 you're seeing where well he was. These were crimes committed 205 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:19.559 under the throes of addiction. What a wonderful standard. Let 206 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.320 me ask it. Let me ask our listeners a question. 207 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.840 Any of you who have struggled with addiction, and I 208 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.679 have a family member, I've talked, I've mentioned this, and yes, 209 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.440 they committed crimes. In fact, it was you know, it 210 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.399 was a lot of little stuff, and you know, and 211 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:38.279 it was stuff that people addicted to drugs do, right, 212 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.480 Money went missing, stuff like that, and and it got 213 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.120 to the point where they were they were literally going 214 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.039 to lock him up. He had one last chance and 215 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.000 thankfully he took it and it worked out, but he 216 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:55.879 still was adjudicated for those he just he had his 217 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:58.720 sentence stayed while we tried that, and thank god it 218 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:02.480 worked out. But we don't just we don't just ignore 219 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.000 how many here's my question, how many of you who have, 220 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:11.519 let's say you struggle with alcohol, have a DUI shouldn't 221 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.000 you That shouldn't be on your record if that's the 222 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:18.120 standard here. Hell, San Francisco shouldn't prosecute it. Well, hold on, 223 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.600 that's a bad example. But you get what I'm saying. 224 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.720 Uh uh, you know what I am. You know what? 225 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.600 Excuse me, now, Ross, we have listeners who went to 226 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.840 house parties in the nineties. You need to you need 227 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.480 Jesus or a federal pardoner or something. Man, I can't. 228 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.399 I can't believe those types of folks are out there today. No, 229 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.200 but I'm serious. So all crimes within the within the 230 00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.679 scope of addiction, because that's the argument you're making. 231 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:55.919 Imagine I'm patrol life. They pull over somebody and they're like, hey, 232 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:57.720 what are you doing there? Are you doing this crime thing? 233 00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.200 I'm a crack ind Are you free to go? 234 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.279 Yeah? Oh, you can even be like ah, yes, the 235 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.840 cocaine did not blow in the window and land in 236 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:08.440 my pocket. It is mine. But I'm an addict. So 237 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.360 and it doesn't mean you can't be compassionate, right, like 238 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.399 I just talked about. You know this, this one last 239 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:21.480 chance was after a series of chances. I guess they said, 240 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:24.000 I won't say chances, because he was he essentially he 241 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:27.320 took the charges for the misdemeanor stuff. But this was 242 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.039 when he walked into the big boy court and they 243 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:34.440 gave him a chance and he took it. So that's 244 00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:39.240 that's the compassion there. But what are you talking about? 245 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.960 And then, and I'm going to read some of this statement, 246 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:47.240 the sheer audacity of well above all of those things, 247 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:51.960 the you know, above them, beyond beyond all those things, 248 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.960 the going after my son was purely political. Where was 249 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:01.879 politics at play? You bet it was absolutely in raising 250 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:07.759 awareness of the insanity. But you're arguing two different things. 251 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:12.240 Just because somebody may be in the light because of politics, 252 00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:15.480 have a famous politician relative in this case or whatever 253 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:19.159 it is, does it in negate whether they committed the 254 00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.759 crime or not. See, the argument you're making is an 255 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:26.919 argument you make when somebody is unjustly convicted. Hunter admitted 256 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.320 to all these things as part of his plea deal. 257 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:31.759 Now you can say that's coerced, but they had him 258 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.039 dead to rights on this stuff. He clearly filled out 259 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:39.960 those forms. And there's there's multiple people sending they through 260 00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.200 that gun in the dumpster. Absolute insanity, which we will 261 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.679 dive into the tel thing. And I think a guy 262 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.519 threw himself a touchdown passed yesterday. NFL was crazy. We'll 263 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:54.360 get to all of it. Hang on. So for some reason, 264 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.919 and this is what we talk about, because I looked. 265 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.519 I looked not at my next Gen CLO, which is 266 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.360 our official broadcast, but I looked at the clock on 267 00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.840 my laptop down to the bottom right corner which used 268 00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.960 to sink right. Because they're both pegged that they're now 269 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.639 let's see here they are now for no reason, I 270 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:20.440 can understand nineteen seconds off from each other, and Ross's 271 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:24.559 mic processing is off. Who messes with everything when we're 272 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.399 on vacation. Not that they could have messed with my 273 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.279 laptop because I had that with me obviously, but. 274 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.200 Hey, how does how does that happen? I came in 275 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:36.600 early today just to see what would be broke broken? 276 00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:40.240 Oh yeah, no, I connected some stuff like way early 277 00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.240 today that we that we use and I'm just fingers 278 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:44.840 crossed while I did it, because I'm like, I just 279 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.799 knew at that point if it didn't connect, then all 280 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.200 of a sudden, I gotta figure other stuff and wake 281 00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.720 up poor Matt. And so if it's just my clock's 282 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.000 not sinking and your MIC's not a little weird, that's 283 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:02.480 a win, man, that's a win. So there you go, right, Hey, 284 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.240 remember this, what. 285 00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:08.240 Is before us is a president who is living the 286 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.480 rule of law. He is living it in the in 287 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:18.640 the way he is not pardoning his son, which he 288 00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.039 could do. 289 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:20.440 These are federal charges. 290 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.240 He is not doing that. He is not doing it 291 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.079 because he is living what it means to have a 292 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.200 rule of law in this country. And then is it isn't? 293 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.400 I mean, if you want to know, if he believes it, 294 00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.039 you can actually see what is happening with his own son. 295 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.720 I mean, I'm not saying that if you should get 296 00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.799 credit for it, because it is the right that Trump 297 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.359 has been said exactly. It's that you the idea that 298 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.240 you can't see it, or is that really what's going on? 299 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.440 Or when you can see what he is actually living 300 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.319 by is his own son is being prosecuted, and he 301 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:01.240 is allowing the norms that are required to limited democracy 302 00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:02.000 to go forward. 303 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.240 Yeah, that is MSNBC. Is that sake he's talking to. 304 00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:08.279 I can't whether there's like two other people there, but 305 00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:14.519 it doesn't matter. The point is they've all bought the line. Right, 306 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.640 you've already committed to the line. Remember way back, it 307 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.759 was well, he's a good father. He's a good father, 308 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.839 and then half the country is like, he also might 309 00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.519 be an accomplice. We don't know what we like to know. 310 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:38.920 So it becomes immeasurably harder in motivating people, especially elected 311 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:44.319 members of Congress, to I'm not saying there's not going 312 00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.759 to be exceptions, but in large part they're going to 313 00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:49.559 be like, well, look, we'd love to get to the 314 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.599 bottom of the big guy and all the money and 315 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.720 all that stuff. But he's already he's pardon hunter for 316 00:18:55.880 --> 00:19:03.440 all crimes I might add, committed since twenty fourteen, but 317 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:07.400 not just the two he's convicted of. So you know, 318 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.279 the argument that that you're going to expend resources and 319 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:12.440 go forward, now you have a baked in excuse not to. 320 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:16.000 And I think there's a lot of uh uh wishbag 321 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:19.039 members of Congress who are are of that opinion. Plus, 322 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.920 one of the things that we don't traditionally do, although 323 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:26.599 that norm has been thrown away, is go after president's 324 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.720 former presidents. Right, remember the whole there was the whole 325 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:34.000 Nixon thing where he's pardon and then hissy he you know, 326 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.920 he's pardoned by his successor. There's been other examples of 327 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.799 this throughout the history of the United States. And and 328 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:43.200 tell what happened with Trump happened that was kind of 329 00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:46.720 the way that they did things, so they'll they'll just 330 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.039 ignore that. But yeah, this thing is sweeping in uh 331 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.720 in in in the size and scope of what they're 332 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:58.119 pardoning him for. It's an amazing deal and all. And 333 00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:03.359 it's so dishonest the way they're reporting this because they 334 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:08.000 then choose to ignore. In fact, let me, I want 335 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.039 to read this verbatim from an article. Okay, in fact, well, 336 00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:13.119 let me do this, because that's not the it's the 337 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:15.240 other one I wanted. I got like three articles on this. 338 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:19.480 Let's just real quick. Let's let's hear from Jean Pierre 339 00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.240 on the pardon issue. Leading up. We don't know what 340 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:23.759 she's going to say today. I think she's gonna call 341 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:28.279 it sick. I would I feel like I have super 342 00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:30.839 Siberian covid. 343 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:33.880 No, No, I heard she's so much Titus. It was 344 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:36.119 so much turkey, like salmonilla from the Turk? Is that 345 00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:36.480 I heard? 346 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:37.279 I think she's vegan? 347 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:37.519 Yeah? 348 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.519 Oh is she so? 349 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:40.039 It's salmonilla vegan? 350 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.039 Yeah, fry can get it. 351 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:43.799 Uh huh, probably very sick. 352 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:46.119 Oh man sucks. All right, Well, let's hear what she 353 00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.240 said previously. Second one with a cousin partner, or commute 354 00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:51.160 his son if he's convicted. 355 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:52.680 So I've answered this question before. 356 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.279 It was asked of me not too long ago, a 357 00:20:54.319 --> 00:20:56.400 couple of weeks ago, and I was very clear, and 358 00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:57.039 I said. 359 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.839 No, We'll go back to the first question. 360 00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:02.400 I know you said not a lot of changed than yesterday, 361 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:03.400 and that's a personal matter. 362 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.279 But from a presidential perspective, is there any possibility that 363 00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:09.440 the president would end up pardoning his son? 364 00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:10.000 Yeah? 365 00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:14.839 Did you seven times the president would not pardon or 366 00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.759 community senses for his son Hunter? 367 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:20.680 Why did you jump this in three different times? 368 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:23.799 Say it's still it's still a no. It's the bat 369 00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.440 it's still a no. It will be a no. 370 00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:29.119 It is a no, And I don't have anything else 371 00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:29.480 to add. 372 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.799 Will he pardon his son? 373 00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:34.519 No, it's not like she said that on three separate occasions, 374 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:39.519 was it? And probably more? Actually, oh it is, yeah, yeah, 375 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:41.599 she's not shown up for work today. All right, here's 376 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:48.880 the here's the article I wanted. And remember, sometimes you 377 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.160 have to you have to recognize this is the Associated 378 00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.160 Press article. I kind of use this as the Bell 379 00:21:53.240 --> 00:22:03.079 Weather or uh mass uh uh mainstream journalism, because one is, 380 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:05.799 it's constantly when they put on the list of right 381 00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.359 left down the middle, they always like, oh no, eightp's 382 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:10.720 right down the middle. It's not okay. It's not as 383 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:13.039 somebody who is who is a who has has been 384 00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:17.039 an AP contributor, who then has to send stuff to 385 00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:20.240 a state editor and then gets ignored. You notice a 386 00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:25.279 pattern there on stuff that being said. The reporter knows it. 387 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:30.279 So this Associated Press reporter Zeke Miller knows this. And 388 00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:31.960 yet I want you to I want you to listen 389 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.160 to the way that he wrote one of these, one 390 00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.839 of these paragraphs here. All right, here we go as 391 00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:40.799 recently as November eighth, days after Trump's victory, White House 392 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.960 Press Secretary Jean Pierre, we just played it for you 393 00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.400 ruled out of pardon. The elder Biden had public has 394 00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:50.599 publicly stood by his only living son as Hunter descended 395 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.519 into serious drug addiction and through his family life into 396 00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:58.400 turmoil before getting back on track in recent years. Is 397 00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:01.480 he is he back on track? And recent years? I 398 00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:03.359 think a lot of people think he was doing blow 399 00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:05.240 at the White House and then stood it. Remember the 400 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:07.640 Easter when he's on the balcony. Was that Easter the 401 00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:10.720
