We got a lot to cover today. We 6 00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:42,719 start with Lindsey Graham and the memorial service that was 7 00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:46,520 held today started off this morning in the rotunda of 8 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,359 the Capitol. He did not lay in state, it was 9 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,719 there have been other senators and prominent people that have 10 00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:57,399 also been brought in for a service under the rotunda. 11 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,920 So that took place at ten o'clock this morning, and 12 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,400 then the funeral itself was at two o'clock this afternoon 13 00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:10,719 at the Washington National Cathedral. President was there. He gave 14 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,959 the eulogy. There were both sides of the isle. It's 15 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,319 interesting where I know, you're supposed to say nice things 16 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,640 about people when they die, but Lindsey Graham had a 17 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,799 lot of people on a lot of friends on both 18 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,719 sides of the isle that admired him. Anyway, There'll be 19 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,879 a second funeral again tomorrow at twelve noon in South 20 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:39,000 Carolina at the First Baptist Church of Columbia, and then 21 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,680 there'll be a private burial later tomorrow in Pickens County, 22 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:51,120 South Carolina. So may he rest in peace. I thought, 23 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,519 in remembrance of Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the things 24 00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:00,920 that everybody has been bringing up in the last couple 25 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,159 of days since he passed away was the unbelievable mark 26 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,240 that he made when he was on the Judiciary Committee 27 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,439 and before them was the question about the nomination of 28 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,800 Brett Kavanaugh to be a Supreme Court justice. And that's 29 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,479 when Christine Ford came forward late in the middle of 30 00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:27,759 that whole hearing and said, oh, by the way, And 31 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,960 so when all was said and done, Lindsey Graham unloaded 32 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,319 on his fellow senators, and I thought, well, as a 33 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,400 tribute to him, I'll play it. It's a couple of 34 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:43,919 three minutes something like that long. But I've never seen 35 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,680 Lindsay Graham like that before or since then. Everybody said 36 00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:50,280 he was such a collegial guy. He wasn't on that 37 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,400 particular day. That was back in twenty eighteen. Here's the 38 00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:57,960 late great Senator Lindsay Graham at the Kavanaugh hearing. 39 00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: Are you aware that at nine to twenty three on 40 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,759 the night of July the night the day you were 41 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,319 nominated to the Supreme Court by President Trump, Senator Schumer 42 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,159 said twenty three minutes after your nomination, I will oppose 43 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,960 Judge Kavanaugh's nomination with everything I have. I have a 44 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,560 bypartisan I hope a by person majority will do the same. 45 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,800 The stakes are simply too high for anything less. Well, 46 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,039 if you weren't aware of it, you are now. Did 47 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,759 you meet with Senator Diane Feinstein on August twentieth. 48 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,159 Speaker 2: I did meet with Sentata Finestein. 49 00:03:33,159 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: Did you know that her staff had already recommended a 50 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,439 lawyer to doctor Ford? 51 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:39,199 Speaker 2: I did not know that. 52 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:40,879 Speaker 4: Did you know that her. 53 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: And her staff had this allegations for over twenty days? 54 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: I did not know that at the time. 55 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 3: If you wanted an FBI investigation, you could have come 56 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,759 to us. What you want to do is destroy this 57 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,479 guy's life, hold this seat open, and hope you went 58 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,439 in twenty twenty. You've said that, not me. You've got 59 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,000 nothing to apologize for. When you see Soda Maron Kagan, 60 00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:10,360 tell him that Lindsay said, oh, because I voted for them, 61 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,240 I would never do to them what you've done to 62 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,399 this guy. This is the most unethical sham since I've 63 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:22,680 been in politics. And if you really wanted to know 64 00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:25,279 the truth, you sure as hell wouldn't have done what 65 00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:26,240 you've done to this guy. 66 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 4: Are you a gang rapist? 67 00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 3: No? I cannot imagine what you and your family have 68 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,680 gone through. Boy, y'all want power. God, I hope you 69 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,480 never get it. I hope the American people can see 70 00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:42,519 through this sham that you knew about it and you 71 00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:47,720 held it. You had no intention of protecting doctor fort none. 72 00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:49,759 She's as much of a victim as you are. 73 00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:51,319 Speaker 2: God. 74 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: I hate to say it because these have been my friends, 75 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,439 but let me tell you when it comes to this, 76 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,120 you're looking for a fair process. You came to the 77 00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:05,399 wrong town at the wrong time. My friend, do you 78 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,079 consider this a job interview? 79 00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:11,079 Speaker 2: The advice and consent role is like a job you. 80 00:05:11,079 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 3: Consider that you've been through a job interview. 81 00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: I've been through a process of advice and consent under 82 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:17,839 the Constitution. 83 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,639 Speaker 1: Would you say you've been through hell? 84 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: I've been through hell and then some. 85 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,759 Speaker 4: This is not a job interview. Yeah, this is hell. 86 00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: This. This is going to destroy the ability of good 87 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,519 people to come forward because of this crap. 88 00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 4: Your high school yearbook. 89 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: You have interacted with professional women all your life, not 90 00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:47,399 one accusation. You're supposed to be Bill Cosby, when you're 91 00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:51,439 a junior and senior and high school and all of 92 00:05:51,439 --> 00:05:54,000 a sudden you got over it. 93 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: It's been my understanding. 94 00:05:57,319 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 3: That if you drug women and rape them for two 95 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,000 years in high school, you probably don't stop. Here's my understanding. 96 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,439 If you lived a good life, people would recognize it. 97 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,439 Like the American Bar Association has the gold standard. His 98 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,279 integrity is absolutely unquestioned. He is the very circumspect in 99 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:25,920 his personal conduct, harbors no biases or prejudices. He's entirely ethical, 100 00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:30,319 is a really decent person. He is warm, friendly, unassuming. 101 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:32,480 He's the nicest person. 102 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 4: The ABA. 103 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: The one thing I can tell you you should be 104 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,600 proud of, Ashley. You should be proud of this that 105 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,720 you raised a daughter who had the good character to 106 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,560 pray for doctor Ford. To my Republican colleagues, if you 107 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,439 vote no, you're legitimizing the most despicable thing I have 108 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,399 seen in my time in politics. 109 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 4: This seat. 110 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: I hope you never get it. I hope you're on 111 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,120 the Supreme Court. That's exactly where you should be. And 112 00:07:08,199 --> 00:07:12,720 I hope that the American people will see through this charade. 113 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,839 And I wish you well, and I intend to vote 114 00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:21,240 for you, and I hope everybody who's fair minded will. 115 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 5: So that was it. 116 00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: The audio one was a little bit warbly have tried 117 00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:28,240 to find the best that we could from twenty eighteen. Surprising. 118 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,680 I thought there would be like fifty different versions of it. 119 00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:35,480 But in any case, Lindsey Graham supposed to be one 120 00:07:35,519 --> 00:07:38,720 of the nicest guys that you'll ever find. Both sides 121 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:40,600 of the isle liked him. I don't think it was 122 00:07:40,639 --> 00:07:42,920 just simply because of the fact that he passed away, 123 00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:49,079 But on that particular day in twenty eighteen, he was mad, 124 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,199 and that was not something that people had ever seen 125 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,120 before from Lindsey Graham. So God bless the man. That's 126 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:04,680 May he rest in peace. All Right, they ron, it's still. Yes, 127 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,759 I'm pulling my hair out still. I told you yesterday 128 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:10,959 I was pulling my hair out. The President has said 129 00:08:12,399 --> 00:08:18,439 that they have been wanting to have a peace agreement. 130 00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:23,759 They want to talk, and he said that they asked 131 00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:28,639 nicely for us to stop bombing them. Listen, here's the 132 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,920 President saying that this is on Air Force one. Little 133 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:36,519 noisy in the background, Yes, it's very nicely, please stop, 134 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,240 let's beat. 135 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 6: And that's where we are right now let's see what 136 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,799 happens if we don't make a deal, we go back to. 137 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,279 Speaker 2: The same thing. 138 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: So he's talking about they asked us to please stop, 139 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,720 and if we don't make a deal, we just go 140 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,840 back to what we were doing before. But he's still 141 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:55,960 talking about making a deal. I don't know why he's 142 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,759 so fixated on that. And he why did he stop 143 00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:02,519 the military campaign. He keeps stopping it, and then he 144 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,399 starts it, then he stops it. He also kept increasing 145 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,799 his threats about how there he's going to blow them 146 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,320 to Smithereens that sort of thing, but then he says 147 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,720 he really wants to avoid doing that, so he's not 148 00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:23,279 dedicated to militarily winning this thing. He thinks he's doing 149 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,320 a deal, and he keeps talking about a deal. This 150 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,960 is not a real estate deal. This is war and 151 00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:34,559 it's time to take care of getting that regime out 152 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,279 of there. But ma'am, this is just gonna drag it 153 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,600 on and drag it on and drag it on. So 154 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,399 that's about all we got on the Iran story. That's 155 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,159 all I got to update you on with Today, we 156 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,840 got a story about Brian Kolberger, Remember the guy who 157 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,559 murdered the four college kids in Moscow, Idaho, a couple 158 00:09:53,519 --> 00:09:57,240 of years back, and they went through the whole big 159 00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:01,440 thing about the fact that they reached an agreement where 160 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,360 he would plead guilty to murdering the four young people. 161 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,600 And it's not like he's some dunce. This is a 162 00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:11,759 smart kid. He had a master's, he was going for 163 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,360 his PhD in criminology, so he should know everything about 164 00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:20,360 the whole process in the court any case, he says 165 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:25,039 he wants to take back his plea. John Miller, former 166 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,879 NYPD guy, weighs in. 167 00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:30,919 Speaker 7: The odds are like a snowballs chance in hell, and 168 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:32,200 there's a reason for that. 169 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:32,799 Speaker 3: You know. 170 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,799 Speaker 7: Colberger is basically basing this motion on the idea that 171 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,039 he was misled, he was tricked, He didn't really understand 172 00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:43,279 what was going on when he was talked into, as 173 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,759 he says, you know, pleading guilty. That is ridiculous. Let's 174 00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:51,840 take a look at Brian Colberger. He is the admitted 175 00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:55,559 and now convicted, calculating murderer of a number of young 176 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,519 people that he had no motive to kill, no reason 177 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,919 to kill, and whatever his reason was in the back 178 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,240 of his mind. Assuming that when he pled guilty, he 179 00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:08,559 was telling the truth. We may never know, but we 180 00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:13,120 do know this. He has an associate's degree, which led 181 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:17,120 to a bachelor's degree in psychology, which led to a 182 00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:21,720 master's degree in criminal justice, which led to his candidacy 183 00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:25,879 for a PhD, a doctorate in criminal justice, in which 184 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,919 over a number of years he studied every possible aspect 185 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,679 of the criminal mind, the criminal justice system, and criminology 186 00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:35,960 from every angle. He was the teacher's aid in the 187 00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:40,120 class at the time, right before the murder, So for 188 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,759 him to make the claim as if he's some guy 189 00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:46,159 who wandered into a liquor store robbery gone wrong and 190 00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:48,919 flyin flann by a fast talking detective that he didn't 191 00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:51,799 know what was going on. He was represented by competent 192 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,600 counsel of his own choosing. These were very professional lawyers 193 00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:00,639 who have experience in capital cases. It's going to be 194 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,720 really hard to convince a judge after going through all 195 00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:05,840 of the questions that the judge asked, do you know 196 00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:08,720 what you're doing, are you of sound mind? Did anybody 197 00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:11,480 offer you anything? There's a long list of those questions 198 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,600 to which he has to say under oath that I 199 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,200 am pleading guilty of my own knowledge and volition, and 200 00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:20,559 I think this is going to be a really tough sell. 201 00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:22,200 Too little, too late. 202 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. And Josh Ritter, who is a 203 00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:28,639 defense lawyer, also has the same feeling. 204 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 5: Well, you can, but we'll see how successful he'll be 205 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:32,799 with that. 206 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 8: It's important, I think, to first understand that what he 207 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,879 is not doing here is appealing his conviction. He waived 208 00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:42,039 his right to appeal, and so that's not possible. But 209 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,679 what he is attempting to do is withdraw his plea. 210 00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:49,200 And withdrawing your plea, like waving any right, you have 211 00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:53,360 to do so knowingly, willfully, and intelligently. And if he 212 00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:56,720 can establish that none of those existed when he entered 213 00:12:56,759 --> 00:12:59,519 his plea, then he might have a chance in convincing 214 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,440 a judge that he should be allowed to withdraw his plea. 215 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,360 But with that piece of tape that we showed earlier, 216 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,559 the judge was very thorough in taking his plea, and 217 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:13,240 it had him acknowledged that this was being done knowingly, willfully, 218 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,519 intelligently several times throughout the course of his plea, so 219 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,720 that he understood that he was entering into this plea 220 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:23,639 with eyes wide open. The idea of whether or not 221 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,720 he committed these crimes is not really the concern, even 222 00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:30,759 though he admitted he was involved in this, But he 223 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:35,279 has to establish that somehow his attorneys either misled him 224 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,200 or lied to him about what the consequences were of 225 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:41,320 his plea, the fact that he would be going off 226 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,440 to prison for the rest of his life, and the 227 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,679 judge again put all of that on the record, making 228 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,440 I think a very thorough record that he willfully, knowingly 229 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:53,200 and intelligently waived his plea. So I think the chances 230 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,840 here of him actually being successful are very low. 231 00:13:56,279 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: And the poor families that are involved this brings it 232 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,120 all back up again. They're trying to move on with 233 00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,600 their lives. They'll never be able to completely move on. 234 00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:06,039 They're going to have in their heart their children that 235 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,240 were killed, but they're going to be put through all 236 00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:12,080 this again because this guy is a big narcissist and 237 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,200 that's part of it. Maybe he misses the publicity. He 238 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,600 was on everybody's television screen a year or so ago, 239 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:25,440 so Coburger is back in the news. Also speaking of crime, 240 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,799 Savannah Guthrie came out with another plea to the kidnapper 241 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,200 of her mother and changed her wording just a little bit. 242 00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:37,919 Speaker 5: I thought I would play it for you here. 243 00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 9: I'm coming on today with the very specific message. It 244 00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:47,039 has been months since our mom was taken from us. 245 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,480 Our family is in agony. We are in a nightmare 246 00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:57,320 that will not end. Nothing about our situation has changed. 247 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,720 We have done our part. We will never stop looking 248 00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:08,200 for her. The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place. 249 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,240 And I know that you have tried to do things 250 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,480 the right way. So I'm asking you, begging you to 251 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,679 do the right thing. Now, make the right choice. Help 252 00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:23,600 us find her, Tell us where to look for her. 253 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,559 Speaker 1: The wording was was moved around a little bit, but 254 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,159 again she's trying to be nice to the kidnappers, saying, 255 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,480 you know, you know you want to do the right thing. 256 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,480 You've always tried to do the right thing. Help us 257 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,919 where to look for her. Back to Josh River. 258 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,279 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's interesting. 259 00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 8: I think that what they've what she's essentially communicating, is 260 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,720 that we we've we've we've communicated in good faith. 261 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 5: We've tried to follow through on what you've asked. 262 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,879 Speaker 8: It's funny I didn't when when first listening to it, 263 00:15:55,919 --> 00:15:58,000 I did not take that away from it but that 264 00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:01,039 could be the communication as well. I think some takeaways 265 00:16:01,039 --> 00:16:04,159 you can make from this is one, I don't think 266 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,919 any of these communications that she's made like this have 267 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,960 been without some sort of law enforcement involvement, So I 268 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,480 think this is that the direction of law enforcement, likely 269 00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,519 the FBI. I think the other thing is interesting is 270 00:16:16,559 --> 00:16:19,960 that she's again speaking directly to either the people who 271 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,799 were directly involved in taking her mother or people who 272 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:27,120 have knowledge of about the circumstances of which her mother 273 00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:31,360 was kidnapped. And the other thing is that this to me, 274 00:16:31,559 --> 00:16:34,320 if you're making this type of a plea this many 275 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,720 weeks out, it shows that probably this is all that 276 00:16:37,759 --> 00:16:41,799 they have left. If they're still trying to bank on 277 00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:46,240 the idea that emotion might cause someone to change their mind, 278 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:48,279 that might be all that they have to work on. 279 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: And by coming out with another tape, it keeps the 280 00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:55,519 story alive, which is I'm sure what they want to do, 281 00:16:55,879 --> 00:17:01,960 keep the hope alive, if you will, doctor Fauci, Tony Fauci, 282 00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:05,599 Anthony Fauci, however you want to address him. He's going 283 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:11,640 to be testifying tomorrow, and I know Rand Paul, who 284 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,240 is a doctor, has been after him for five years 285 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:26,359 and they came up with somehow the diary of doctor Fauci. Now, 286 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,200 I don't know, maybe, I'm sure there's a number of 287 00:17:28,279 --> 00:17:30,839 you people that have diaries. I have never had a 288 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,359 diary in my life, and I don't quite understand why 289 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,279 people do. But I know a lot of people do. 290 00:17:39,839 --> 00:17:45,000 And well, okay, I'll even say it more clearly. I 291 00:17:45,079 --> 00:17:48,079 remember in high school a bunch of teenage girls had diaries. 292 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,160 They were writing down everything about their lives, and their 293 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,359 lives were up and upheaval and everything else. I don't 294 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:59,319 know do adults have. Apparently so, and Fauci is no slouch, 295 00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:05,240 highly educated guy. Well, in this diary, how rand Paul 296 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,720 got it, I'm not exactly sure, but he got the 297 00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:10,640 diary and they went they went through with the fond 298 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,880 tooth coman. They found that a lot of the things 299 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,400 that he said in public, and they went back and 300 00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:20,000 checked the recording of the date of various interviews, because 301 00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:25,000 he was giving everybody interviews back then during COVID, that 302 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,319 he would go home in on those same exact dates 303 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,240 write down something that was totally different. In other words, 304 00:18:33,519 --> 00:18:35,880 he didn't believe what he was telling you and me. 305 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,640 But he told himself in his diary some complete different 306 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:45,880 answer about it. It's pretty bizarre. Here's Ran Paul talking 307 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,319 about it. 308 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 6: He already knew, and we've known this for a while 309 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,960 that other people knew, well, we didn't know. He actually 310 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:55,240 knew and was acknowledging that it didn't The earliest people 311 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,079 who got COVID were not associated with the marketplace. The 312 00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:02,400 Chinese seat was saying this in January twenty twenty. He 313 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,079 knew it, he told dear diary. But to the public. 314 00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:08,880 He commissioned this paper called Proximal Origins, and in it 315 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,359 they go on and on saying it. Tim blauswill that 316 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,839 it came from the lab. That level of dishonesty is 317 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,599 really astounding. 318 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: Rand Paul has been going after bautcheting out for five years. 319 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,799 Jason Shavitz, who was in Congress at the time, also 320 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,440 is amazed at how a variety of answers that he 321 00:19:28,519 --> 00:19:30,640 made to the public versus the ones he made to 322 00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:31,279 his diary. 323 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, amen to that. 324 00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:34,519 Speaker 10: I mean, this is the person who sat at the 325 00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,119 top of his game for more than forty years. 326 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 4: I think that's a problem. 327 00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:42,559 Speaker 10: He walked around with such arrogance, but such knowledge and 328 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,960 background that rarely was he ever challenged in the audacity 329 00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:50,640 that he would bring to this, and the cockiness was 330 00:19:50,759 --> 00:19:51,960 just unparalleled. 331 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 4: And the media fell right into this. 332 00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:57,319 Speaker 10: I mean, the media was so culpable in every single way, 333 00:19:57,319 --> 00:19:59,759 putting him on the cover of in Style magazine and 334 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,480 you know, making him a rock star and a superstar. 335 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,960 But what's just so disheartening is there are people that died, 336 00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:10,200 and there are a lot of people who couldn't go 337 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,599 to the funeral of their loved ones. I think of, 338 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,359 you know, our former colleague Janis Dean and what she 339 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,640 went through with her family and all the lockdowns and 340 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,160 what this man was doing behind the scenes. It just 341 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,920 ends up looking like feeling like it was a total 342 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,799 complete lie and done for political reasons. And what Senator 343 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,440 ran Paul, a doctor himself, was questioning, did not get 344 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,960 straight answers. And so this hearing that's coming up is 345 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,279 going to be an explosive one. I think it's in danger. 346 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,480 It's perilous for the doctor. But you know what, he 347 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,839 very well may go into that hearing just plead the 348 00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:52,319 fifth because he thinks he's sitting there with a proactive, 349 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,799 prophylactic pardon from Joe Biden. But I think there's legal 350 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,039 challenges given that it was done on an autopin. 351 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,799 Speaker 4: I think there's some parallel there. But it's just disgusting. 352 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,599 Speaker 10: Millions and millions of our young people were affected the 353 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,960 silly masks that everybody was wearing. 354 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,599 Speaker 4: It had a long term effect and it was wrong. 355 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,599 Speaker 1: And he talked about millions and millions of people that 356 00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:17,160 were affected, our kids and so forth. It was because 357 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,640 of the fact that in his diary he said that 358 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,559 he recommended to the governor of New York and also 359 00:21:23,599 --> 00:21:27,200 to the governor of California and others that they closed 360 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,200 their schools, and he also admitted that they should also close. 361 00:21:31,559 --> 00:21:35,880 His recommendation was they should close restaurants and bars. So 362 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,799 he was all for closing down all these businesses. But 363 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,440 at the same time that he wrote that in his diary, 364 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,400 this is what he said on TV. 365 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 4: I wonder if you would recommend locking down schools if 366 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,920 you had to do it all over again. 367 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 11: Well, you know, again, first of all, I didn't recommend 368 00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:54,079 locking anything down. 369 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 4: You're asking me questions. 370 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,559 Speaker 6: You're talking about the CDC's the public Health agency uses 371 00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:05,559 their epidemiologists and their science based approach to make recommendations. 372 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,319 Speaker 1: But he wrote in his diary he specifically gave names 373 00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:13,400 the person in Governor Cuomo's office in New York and 374 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,279 also the person in Governor Newsom's office that he was 375 00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:20,319 working with, so they would close schools and recommended also 376 00:22:20,759 --> 00:22:24,720 restaurants and bars. And then when asked about it on TV, 377 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,119 I never said anything like that. Alex Berenson is a 378 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,200 former reporter for The New York Times who was all 379 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,880 over the COVID case. 380 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 5: Here's what he has to say. 381 00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 12: Well, I mean, there's so much in this diary that 382 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,119 has come out. It's the arguments over where the virus 383 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,400 came from. There's evidence that Fauci thought very early on 384 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,640 that this was less dangerous than people than most people 385 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,720 thought publicly. But he didn't say that he encouraged shutdowns. 386 00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:01,200 He encouraged very aggressive measures that moved actually not to 387 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,759 be necessary. And what I would say most of all 388 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,039 when you read the diary, and I've now read almost 389 00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:12,039 the whole diary, is his ego is overwhelming. He talks 390 00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:16,519 about how happy he is to be this important figure. 391 00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:18,279 Speaker 5: He's an international celebrity. 392 00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 13: He says he's the most important person in the United States. 393 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:26,920 He says, he's obviously glorying in this, and you know, listen, 394 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,559 you saw some of that publicly, but he became far 395 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,440 too big for his bridges. He thought everyone in the 396 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,200 world should listen to him, and so it was in 397 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,759 his interest almost to make this epidemic seem worse than 398 00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:42,559 it was. And it's painful to see this five years later, 399 00:23:42,759 --> 00:23:45,680 six years later. It's also painful to realize that he 400 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,160 was spending so much time talking to Jake Tapper and 401 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,400 everyone else in the Washington Press Corps, that he was 402 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:56,359 not keeping up with the most most advanced science on COVID, 403 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,599 whether that was virology or epidemiology. And I mean, it's 404 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:01,920 an amazing things to realize that a handful of us 405 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,720 on Twitter were more accurate and more forward looking about 406 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,400 this than the most important medical advisor in the United States. 407 00:24:09,519 --> 00:24:12,119 Because that guy was so in love with himself he 408 00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:14,599 wasn't bothering to actually keep up with the science. 409 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 4: It's really stunning. 410 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,839 Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you personally, we at the time I 411 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,000 was at Fox and we put a call in to 412 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,519 doctor Bauchie to have him on my television show No 413 00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:30,519 Problem booked them. I mean, usually with big deals that 414 00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:33,640 are kind of busy with things like COVID, they would 415 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,799 be hard to get, but he got. He was easy 416 00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:38,119 to get. And then we turned around and I don't know, 417 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,799 a month or two later we booked him for the 418 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,160 radio show. He was easy to get because he was 419 00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:48,039 more than happy. He was he was enthralled with being 420 00:24:49,279 --> 00:24:53,880 a focus on the of the media. And so tomorrow 421 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,599 he's going to be grilled on this, and Jason Chavin 422 00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,720 said that, you know, he has some peril. 423 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. 424 00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:05,839 Speaker 1: Joe Biden gave him a total pardon for anything that 425 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,880 he did that would be criminal, So I'm not sure 426 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,440 they're going to be able to get him on that. 427 00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:14,240 But in any case, it's important to know for history 428 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,640 just exactly what the truth is regarding COVID. All right, 429 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,519 Democrat socialist of America, what are we doing about him? 430 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,400 The one that's getting all the attentions right now is 431 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,640 the Michigan debate, which was last night and it will 432 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,759 be as on Fox two in Detroit, and then the 433 00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:39,160 primary is next Tuesday, a week from today, and Lsied 434 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,359 is the one that's getting all the publicity. And he 435 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,160 says he's not a Democrat socialist, but he is jumping 436 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,079 on all of the Democrat socialist talking points. 437 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:51,519 Speaker 2: Huge. 438 00:25:52,319 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: So here's a little bit from the debate last night 439 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:55,640 Fox two in Detroit. 440 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,759 Speaker 14: When you ask sixty million dollars to come into a 441 00:25:58,839 --> 00:26:01,000 race for you and then say that's how you're electable, 442 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,599 I think you don't quite understand what electability means. If 443 00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:05,839 you need a sixty million dollar crutch, you probably can't 444 00:26:05,839 --> 00:26:07,119 be elected on your own term. 445 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,799 Speaker 15: So I know it's great to hold host rallies and 446 00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:13,960 have these fun events, but everywhere I have gone in Michigan, 447 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,279 I have taken the time to visit a minority owned business. 448 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,519 Speaker 1: It's a debate between l si Ed and Hailey Stevens, 449 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,119 and he's accusing her of getting all this money from 450 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,799 outside sources, and she's just looking at what he's talking about. 451 00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:38,440 One of the big Democrat political consultants in Michigan is 452 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,960 a guy by the name of Al Motour. This is 453 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,799 what his opinion is about it. 454 00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 16: When people show you who they are, believe them. He 455 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:53,160 basically said it would be ideal to hurt name harm 456 00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:56,799 a sitting you as senator. He has campaigned with Hassan Piker, 457 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,519 who has stated that the democratic state of Israel is 458 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:04,759 worse than Hamas that is his friend. And so his 459 00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:08,160 platitude is about more money for you and getting dollars 460 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,680 in your pockets. May sound nice, but he is a 461 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:15,200 dangerous person and that is why Democrats are rising up 462 00:27:15,519 --> 00:27:19,400 and worried about his ascendancy. I would note also, what 463 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,480 business does he have talking about primary somebody in another 464 00:27:22,559 --> 00:27:24,839 state when he hasn't even won a primary in his 465 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,000 own state. He lost the race for governor in twenty eighteen, 466 00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:30,960 and yet he has already established a website to run 467 00:27:31,039 --> 00:27:32,680 for president in twenty twenty eight. 468 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,559 Speaker 1: Well, he's already got his eyes on running for president 469 00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:38,960 in twenty twenty eight and he hasn't. Yeah, he's got across. Well, 470 00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:44,799 we'll see what happens. But he's mimicking everything. He's talking 471 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,640 exactly the same talking points as the Democrats, Socialist about 472 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,519 getting rid of the Senate, getting rid of the borders, 473 00:27:52,559 --> 00:27:54,640 getting rid of the courts, getting rid of it go 474 00:27:54,759 --> 00:27:58,240 down the list, crazy crazy, crazy stuff. So that guy 475 00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:04,640 al Maltour is a big Democrat, a political consultant in Michigan. 476 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,079 I heard a guy earlier today who was a former 477 00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:14,160 member of the Democrats Socialists of America, and he brought 478 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,839 up a very interesting point about the fact that a 479 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,279 lot of what they say they want to do used 480 00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:24,279 to be done by charitable organizations or churches. 481 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,559 Speaker 17: Listen to this, so it's offering many of the things 482 00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:30,400 that say, your church and your community would have offered. 483 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,559 Of course, you know, I think it's a poor substitute, 484 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,079 but it is feeling sort of a social function that 485 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:43,240 you would have found in other institutions, arguably better institutions 486 00:28:43,839 --> 00:28:44,880 just a generation ago. 487 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: I thought that was fascinating because especially here in New 488 00:28:47,799 --> 00:28:50,720 York where Ma'm Donnie is trying to do all these 489 00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:56,200 things that used to be done by charitable organizations, churches, 490 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,359 you name it, the Red Cross, whatever, organizations that reached 491 00:29:00,359 --> 00:29:04,880 out and helped people, and now the Democrat Socialists of 492 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,799 America want to own that and do their own reaching 493 00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:11,920 out to help people with their own beliefs. Ram Emmanuel 494 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,640 has really his star has risen because of the fact 495 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,960 that the Democratic Socialists of America, including Bernie, are pointing 496 00:29:19,039 --> 00:29:22,839 at him as he's the wrong kind of democrat. He's 497 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,440 an establishment Democrat and he doesn't like it. And we'll 498 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,599 see who wins. 499 00:29:28,319 --> 00:29:32,359 Speaker 11: The DSA, and that agendas laid out does not play 500 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,920 anywhere except for maybe on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. 501 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,960 And anytime a Democrat anywhere in a red to blue 502 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,279 district has to either distinguish themselves rather than prosecute that 503 00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:46,799 the Republican would be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump. 504 00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:50,400 Is a dollar wasted allowing us to not only get 505 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,240 a majority, but more importantly, to them pass finally after 506 00:29:53,279 --> 00:29:54,960 twenty years, I mean them wage increase. 507 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,599 Speaker 1: So the rob wants to do typical Democrat big government programs. 508 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:01,480 He's saying, these people are going to get in the 509 00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:07,880 way of the establishment Democrat winning Foz Shakir, he was 510 00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:12,440 the top spokesman for Bernie Sanders when one of his campaigns, 511 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,279 and he's still out there promoting the Democrat socialist agenda. 512 00:30:17,559 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 18: Well, he's the You know, when you look at some 513 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,039 of the Democrats, like in Ram and Manuel, they used 514 00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:24,160 to castigate the America First MAGA movement by looking at 515 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,119 some proud boys or oathkeepers or turning point USA person 516 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,759 and saying, hey, there, that person speaks for Donald Trump 517 00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:31,839 in the entire movement.

And they're derided as communists or commedis a 526 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,319 boy this channel and others, And it's wrong that people 527 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,119 are fighting for a different vision in this country, one 528 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,519 in which we take on oligarchy and the rule over 529 00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:00,759 money in big politics. That's what's going on right now, 530 00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,480 big money ruling politics. Somebody's got to take it on. 531 00:31:04,759 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: So let me get this straight. So what he's saying 532 00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:10,039 is that if you elect the Democrat Socialists of America, 533 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,720 the big money will no longer have any power in politics. 534 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,119 Oh my gosh, how naive is this guy. Big money 535 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,400 is always going to be with whoever has the power. 536 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,599 If they win offices, they're going to have big money 537 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,960 stepping in to give them money and they're going to 538 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,720 take it. Oh, some of them will pretend that they're 539 00:31:30,759 --> 00:31:33,640 not going to. But the fact that you vote vote 540 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,119 for me, he is the Democrat social of America and 541 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,000 we'll get the big money out of politics. Sorry, that's 542 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,240 not even close to reality. Melissa de Roser, who was 543 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,200 chief of staff for Governor Andrew Cuomo back in the day, 544 00:31:49,359 --> 00:31:52,519 she's a big Democrat. She was asked, well, well, you 545 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,279 keep saying you're the big tent Democrat. Don't you want 546 00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:59,000 the Democrat Socialist of America in your tent. 547 00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 19: No, I don't think the DSA belongs in the big 548 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,319 tent because it's not just about some utopia that they're 549 00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:08,599 spewing that's not actually based in reality. You can't ignore 550 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,799 the other parts of their platform that are quite frankly dangerous. 551 00:32:11,839 --> 00:32:16,000 Abolished prisons, abolished borders, abolish the police, abolish ice. And 552 00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:17,960 so I think that they are an albatross around the 553 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,680 Democratic Party's neck and we've got to do a better 554 00:32:20,759 --> 00:32:23,839 job of putting forth an affirmative agenda that connects with 555 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,480 the American people. But we cannot be bogged down by 556 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,559 this or else we're going to be wandering the wilderness 557 00:32:29,559 --> 00:32:30,519 for a very long time. 558 00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: Well, we'll see how this turns out again. Next Tuesday 559 00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:38,160 is the big primary in Michigan, and that's where El 560 00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:42,759 Sayed is going up against Hailey Stevens to represent the 561 00:32:42,799 --> 00:32:47,839 Democrats in their Senate race from Michigan Wall Street today, 562 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,559 Let's take a look at that nothing but green arrows 563 00:32:51,559 --> 00:32:56,039 for the Dow today. Dow Jones industrials started off positive 564 00:32:56,079 --> 00:33:00,440 and finished up five hundred and thirty seven now at 565 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:05,759 fifty two thousand and seven forty seven. The SMP didn't participate, 566 00:33:05,799 --> 00:33:11,839 it was up fifteen and the tech stocks are still 567 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,200 selling off, down fifty five today on the Nasdaq, so 568 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,480 it wasn't a big drop. Gold fell forty eight dollars 569 00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:24,119 down to fourenty twenty eight, and oil look at this, 570 00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:29,119 down three dollars and fifty cents below eighties. First time 571 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,079 I've seen is seven for quite a long time. Seventy 572 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,599 nine dollars for one barrel of West Texas intermediate crude oil. 573 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,279 So that's it for today. Thank you for coming by. 574 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,440 We will be back tomorrow. I hope to see you then.
