My name is Tom Sullivan. Glad you 5 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,759 could come by, so man alive. We got a lot 6 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,280 going for a Friday isn't summer Friday is supposed to 7 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:46,479 be quiet, not today. And we've got the latest on 8 00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:52,600 the Federal Reserve and their big building costs. We've got 9 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,280 the second day of meetings with how did she pronounce it? 10 00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:05,159 Yesterday a Gallaine Maxwell, New York City being sued. Other 11 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,319 cities are about to feel the same because of the 12 00:01:08,359 --> 00:01:11,359 fact that the federal government is going to basically ask 13 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,879 the courts to rule on this business about how can 14 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,560 you have a sanctuary city in the United States of America. 15 00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:20,319 That says, basically, we're in the United States, but we're 16 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,280 going to ignore federal laws. So that lawsuit's coming. Russia 17 00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:30,439 Gate update there on what Pulsey Gabbard's up to. So 18 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,040 we've got, anyway, a lot to go over today. Let's 19 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,840 start with, Oh, last night, I'm driving home and I 20 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,480 go up a major highway in New York City. It's 21 00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:48,920 on the West Side Highway, and they've got pedestrian overpasses 22 00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:52,159 over the top of the of the highways for people 23 00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,719 to Basically, it borders along the Hudson Rivers, so people 24 00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:57,840 that want to go to the Hudson River and there's 25 00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:00,760 a bunch of parks along there and everything else. So 26 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,200 they have these pedestrian overpasses. And last night I'm driving 27 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,799 home and I come I'm coming up on one of 28 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,560 these overpasses and there must be I don't know, thirty 29 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,719 forty fifty people standing up on that overpass and they 30 00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:20,560 have a big sign that stretches all the way across 31 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:27,000 the highway. Honk if you want the Epstein files, and 32 00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:33,439 people were honking like crazy, and so oh yes, I honked, 33 00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:35,639 of course I did. And the people up there were 34 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,840 waving and smiling. But that's where it is. We got 35 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,280 just average ordinary citizens on overpasses over highways with sons. 36 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:48,120 They had the American flag out there, they got the 37 00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:52,360 whole thing. So it just shows this story isn't going 38 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:59,360 away anytime soon. So today's day two with Todd Blanche, 39 00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:06,840 Deputy Attorney General, which is nobody understands this. Nobody has 40 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:13,080 ever seen this before. I've seen interviews with former DOJ officials, 41 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,879 with judges, with law enforcement people are credit to know. 42 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:20,479 Nobody has a deputy attorney general is a big position 43 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,280 with a lot of things to do when they got 44 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:24,520 a lot of things on their plate, and so he's 45 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,639 taken a little trip down to Tallahassee to sit down 46 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,000 in a room with Jelaine Matchwell. Well they went. One 47 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,759 report was they went five hours. One report said they 48 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,400 went six hours yesterday, So it was long. They sat 49 00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:45,840 in a room in Tallahassee and it's the US Attorney's 50 00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:50,240 office and where and they spent six hours yesterday going 51 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,000 over things. So we'll see what they come up with. 52 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,599 But the fact that they had more how many questions 53 00:03:59,639 --> 00:04:03,280 did they ask? What kind of questions were they But 54 00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:07,680 they also are back at it again today for day two. Yeah, 55 00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:13,080 Todd Blanche is still there. So the question is are 56 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,639 we going to get a transcript? And it'll be interesting 57 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,759 to see everybody and their brothers saying you can't believe her. 58 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,240 If she says Donald Trump was involved, people will say, 59 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,519 I don't believe it. If she says Donald Trump was 60 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,800 not involved, there's a lot of people's I don't believe it. 61 00:04:31,439 --> 00:04:37,000 She's not credible. So the question, then, is what are 62 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,600 the questions to who, where, what, why when questions? And 63 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,800 why is it taking so long? Hopefully they will release 64 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,120 the transcript of that, but with the way they're acting 65 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,360 about holding back on so much of this, I'm not sure. 66 00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:57,040 So the Wall Street Journal out again today with more 67 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,399 exclusive reporting. And they're the ones who last week came 68 00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:04,959 out with the report that said that Donald Trump's name 69 00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:09,079 is in the file, and Trump sued them for ten 70 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,120 billion dollars. I know, it's crazy. So the Wallstreet Drunk 71 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,160 comes out today and says, guess what President Trump is? 72 00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:24,519 Among a bunch of people, there's Wall Street billionaire Leon Black, 73 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:32,279 fashion designer Vera Wang, former New York Elle News owner 74 00:05:32,519 --> 00:05:37,680 Mort Zuckerman. I know Mort, and no, I don't think 75 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,240 my name's in the quick never met Epstein? Who else 76 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:42,920 is on this list? And there's a whole bunch of 77 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,399 let's see, Oh a Screenberg, I think he passed away. 78 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,800 Leslie Wexner, who was Victoria's secret he owned that. Jean 79 00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:01,680 Luke Brunel, he owned a modeling agency in I think 80 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,680 he was in Europe. Who's this guy over here? Peter Mandelsson, 81 00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:17,120 a UK politician, Alan Dershowitz, and who else we got 82 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,360 it on this list here? Oh, Jimmy Kane, former Wall 83 00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:23,839 Street Guy. Former he was the guy who ran bear 84 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:29,519 Stearns when it collapsed. And Jeffrey Epstein worked at bear 85 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,959 Stearns back in the nineteen seventies for a while. So 86 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,600 they have it grouped by groups of people. On this 87 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,879 birthday book in two thousand and three, they have a 88 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,319 category for science, another one because Epstein thought of himself 89 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,680 as a big guy in science, another one Brooklyn, another 90 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:54,480 one family. So he should go through the list. Let's see. 91 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,720 Now they got the writings and the poems, and it's 92 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:01,680 all very I think it's all very stupid. So anyway, 93 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,319 that's what's going on with all there's more names. Pete Sessions, 94 00:07:06,079 --> 00:07:11,959 Congressman Republican from Texas, was asked about this whole Epstein thing. 95 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,040 Here's his take on it. 96 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,519 Speaker 3: Well, it's always easy when you're sitting in jail for 97 00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:22,639 twenty years to be unhappy. But she was convicted, she 98 00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:26,199 had her time in court, and she had that opportunity. 99 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,319 It seems like to me that she acts like she 100 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,360 wants to reset the record away from testimony that was 101 00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:42,319 given that convictor in the first place, so it holds 102 00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:46,160 very little water to me. I think it's pretty apparent 103 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,120 to me that there are that the people at Main 104 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,920 Justice that are looking at this recognize that there are 105 00:07:55,959 --> 00:08:01,480 at least three distinctly different jurisdictional issues here, one Overseas, 106 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,399 the Island, number two, Miami, number three, which would be 107 00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:12,079 New York, and that the putting together this compilation is 108 00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:18,160 evidently being done because they want her to allow the 109 00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:21,639 testimony or at least the transcripts of those to be 110 00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:26,199 released to the public. Perhaps that tells a story. I 111 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:29,759 don't know whether it's one case, one jurisdiction, but they're 112 00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:33,320 after the judge. They want the judge to see that 113 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,840 there's confirming data and information, and I'm sure they'll ask her, 114 00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,840 do you have a problem with this information being released? 115 00:08:40,879 --> 00:08:44,320 And if she can sense, then it makes it easier 116 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,519 for the judge to abide by the release of the data. 117 00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:52,759 And that's what the Department of Justice is after the 118 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,919 facts of the case. The facts of the case should 119 00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:58,960 be known and understood by the hundreds of hour, hundreds 120 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,759 of hours of day that the Department of Justice or 121 00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:07,720 the FBI has within their purview. And that's the essential question. 122 00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:13,080 The Department of Justice has already characterized, catalog things, They 123 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:17,679 already have things down. Did they make a client list, 124 00:09:17,759 --> 00:09:19,559 I don't know. Did they make a list of the 125 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,960 people who were there. I'm sure the US Attorney did 126 00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:28,559 fifteen years ago. And this is the conclusion that people want. 127 00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:32,360 This is a heinous crime that has been hidden under 128 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,600 the vestiges of our system, and the system needs to know. 129 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,799 It's now time to come out. Definitely time to come out. 130 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,919 And he was talking about the three jurisdictions, So the 131 00:09:44,919 --> 00:09:47,200 one in Florida has already said no, we're not going 132 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,080 to release the grand jury testimony. But we haven't heard 133 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,799 from the international system regarding the island that he had 134 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,559 and that we haven't heard apparently before a judge here 135 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,639 in New York to try to get some of that release. 136 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,679 But that's not that's just a fraction of what they have. 137 00:10:04,799 --> 00:10:10,360 They have eons of files at the US Attorney's Office 138 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,159 or the DOJ. David Marcus, he is the lawyer for 139 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,840 Delaine Maxwell. Before he went into court this morning, he 140 00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:24,279 was talking with reporters. It's kind of sketchy. He was 141 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,240 on the sidewalk walking along on his way into the 142 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,679 courthouse round two. 143 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 4: Ready to go in for round two. 144 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,759 Speaker 2: We're hoping for another productive day. 145 00:10:34,279 --> 00:10:39,759 Speaker 4: You know, it's Glenn has been treated unfairly for over 146 00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:43,399 five years now. If you looked up scapegoat in the dictionary, 147 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,440 her face would be next to the definition, next to 148 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,440 the dictionary definition of it. So, you know, we're grateful 149 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,919 for this opportunity to finally be able to say what's 150 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,919 really happened, and that's what we're going to do yesterday 151 00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:53,399 and today. 152 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, she's keeping her spirits up as much as she can. 153 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,279 Speaker 2: She's one of the strongest people I've ever She's been 154 00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:06,720 in terrible, awful conditions for five years. We wouldn't keep 155 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:12,960 animals the way she's been kept in prison, So you know, 156 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,799 it's unbelievable that she can keep her spirits up as high, 157 00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:16,840 and we're proud of her. 158 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not quite sure what he's talking about. They 159 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,919 had their chance in court five years ago to tell 160 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,879 their side of the story, and so they get another 161 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,919 slice at it apparently. But also talking about the prison, 162 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,200 I've heard that that's a low minimum security prison. In 163 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,120 other words, it's kind of a club fed. But no, 164 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,000 I'm sure it's not as comfortable as wherever it was 165 00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:42,519 that she lived before. So that's what's going on with 166 00:11:42,639 --> 00:11:45,879 Jeanne Max. Well, now the question is will we find 167 00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:48,679 out what the trend? Well, we get the information on 168 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,120 what Todd Blanche was talking to her about for two days. 169 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,519 So we got that, plus we got Russia Gate. This 170 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,600 is Tulsa Gabbard coming out and making it very clear 171 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,399 that she has referred she's taken the old documents as 172 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,840 that were under security, and she's taken those documents, and 173 00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:15,960 she has filed a criminal referral with the Department of Justice, 174 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,759 and in that she's accusing former President Barack Obama and 175 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,799 his deputies of participating in what she calls a treasonous 176 00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:32,120 conspiracy to undermine the results of the twenty sixteen presidential elections. 177 00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:38,600 She claimed a manufacturer a false intelligence analysis regarding Russia's 178 00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:41,759 role in the election, and that this constituted a year's 179 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:49,440 long coup and treasonous conspiracy against the American people. So 180 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,080 Truck and Curmudgeon called me and had a very interesting 181 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,480 point because I was bringing up the fact yesterday that 182 00:12:55,879 --> 00:12:59,120 President Obama, because of the ruling from the Supreme Court 183 00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:04,200 on Donald Trump presidents have immunity for their official actions, 184 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,879 so nobody can prosecute Obama for this, But what about 185 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,480 Clapper and Susan Rice and John Brennan and go down 186 00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:17,159 the list of the people that were close to Obama 187 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,120 and in his administration. Well, what I was told by 188 00:13:21,159 --> 00:13:23,919 a lawyer was that there was a four year statute 189 00:13:23,919 --> 00:13:27,600 of limitation. I looked at, tried to dig around and 190 00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:31,960 look for more information. I found in some cases there's 191 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,519 a five year statute of limitation. But listen to what 192 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,480 Trucking pro mudgeon has to offer on this statute of 193 00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:41,120 limitations business. 194 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,879 Speaker 6: Hi, Tom Trucking curmudgeon here. You know, you're talking about 195 00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:55,000 statute of limitations on the Obama crime family and I 196 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,720 on individual charges. That may be correct, but in the 197 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,080 big picture, really driving home the treason word, I don't 198 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,639 believe there's a statute limitations on that because it is 199 00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:10,000 punishable by answer on the ends of her rope. 200 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,039 Speaker 1: So I thought, well, that's a good point, and Tulsi 201 00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:21,120 obviously used she didn't say treason participating in a treasonless conspiracy. 202 00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:26,039 I'm not sure she's playing legal semantics games with all 203 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,720 of that. But in there she also talked about sedition, 204 00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:34,799 and you get into the question about treason. Sedition all 205 00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:40,799 that treason is simply the crime of betraying one's country, 206 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,799 specifically by levying war against your own country or giving 207 00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:49,480 aid and comfort to its enemies. Well, I don't think 208 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,159 he levied war against the United States. They levied war 209 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,240 against Donald Trump as the president of the United States. 210 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,360 But sedition sounds like it's closer. It's related to treason. 211 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:09,200 But sedition typically involves acts that undermine the government, but 212 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,960 don't involve giving aid to a foreign country. So then 213 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,720 you get into the whole business about all of the 214 00:15:17,159 --> 00:15:19,440 spooks that have done their investigation on. 215 00:15:19,679 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 5: Russia, Russia, Russia. 216 00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: What most of them came away with was, no, they 217 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,240 weren't trying to get Donald Trump elected. He was the 218 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,840 beneficiary of What they really wanted was everybody thought, including 219 00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:37,840 the Kremlin, that Hillary Clinton was going to win the election. 220 00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:41,000 So what they were doing was they were trying to 221 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,919 damage Hillary Clinton, and they were trying to go after 222 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,000 her because they didn't like her. I don't know if 223 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,200 they gave two hoots about Donald Trump, but they didn't 224 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,639 care about Trump. They didn't think he was going to win. 225 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,679 I don't think he thought he was either, but in 226 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,960 any case, he won. And what they were doing was 227 00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:02,559 putting their thumb on the scale to try to damage 228 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,080 Hillary so that when she became president she would not 229 00:16:06,279 --> 00:16:09,600 be able to be as strong as a president, especially 230 00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:13,440 dealing with Russia, as if they had not done their 231 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,879 work to try to undermine her. They also apparently held 232 00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:21,759 back some juicy stuff that who knows if it was 233 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,799 true or not true, but it was held back because 234 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:28,600 they wanted to use it when she became president to 235 00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:33,039 weaken her presidency. So this wasn't about going after Donald Trump. 236 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,200 This was about trying to damage Hillary Clinton. And what 237 00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:40,519 the Democrats said was, see they were trying to get 238 00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:44,759 Trump elected. No, they weren't trying to get him elected. 239 00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:50,080 They were just trying to damage Hillary. And as a result, 240 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,840 did they get Trump elected? I don't think so, and 241 00:16:54,919 --> 00:16:57,480 I don't think most of the investigators think so either. 242 00:16:57,559 --> 00:16:59,879 I mean, there may have been a few people reading 243 00:17:00,039 --> 00:17:04,160 Facebook posts that were posted by Saint Petersburg, but most 244 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,000 people were not influenced by whatever Russia was trying to do. 245 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,039 Most people made up their own minds about Hillary or Trump. 246 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,079 In twenty sixteen, if you remember it started off in 247 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,839 twenty sixteen. Is Jeb Bush was the guy that was 248 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,960 going to be the guy to beat and Hillary was 249 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,799 going to be the person to beat for the Dems. 250 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,720 And people said, I don't want another Bush. I don't 251 00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:31,759 want another Clinton. So she already had a lot of 252 00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:35,400 baggage and she's a terrible politician. Whether you like her 253 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,799 or dislike her. She did a terrible job on the 254 00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:43,839 campaign trail. So that's that's what's good. A trucking Cromudge 255 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,519 and brought up a very good point. But I still 256 00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:48,839 look at it and go, I don't know what treason is, 257 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,559 conspiracy is, but we'll we'll let this be sorted out 258 00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:56,240 by the DOJ. And that's the other big question. Do 259 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,440 you think the DOJ is going to bring charges against 260 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,759 Barack Obama or Brennan or Clapper or any of those 261 00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:09,200 other people. I will be surprised if they do, simply 262 00:18:09,279 --> 00:18:13,200 because the history of Washington d C. Is they never 263 00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:18,279 do those things. They never hold anybody accountable. Probably the 264 00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,519 one that has the most legal exposure is Brennan because 265 00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:24,799 of the fact that he clearly we played for you 266 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,960 yesterday Trey Gowdy was running that was the chair of 267 00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:32,440 a committee investigating Russia USA Russia, and Brennan flat out 268 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:38,119 lied and so there's perjuring the Congress. I I'd have 269 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,720 to look up what the datutal limitation is on that. 270 00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:43,319 But there's things that are going to maybe charge some 271 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,359 of the underlings with just so they can say you 272 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,759 can't do what you did and get away with it. 273 00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:55,599 Scott Free Donald Trump was doing this doing the Driveway 274 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,240 news conference this morning. He's on his way. Well, he's 275 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,920 in Scotland by now. He's going to be there for 276 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,319 five days. And before he left, he did the Driveway 277 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,680 with all the media there and he was asked about 278 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,599 the Telsey Gabbert Russian investigation. Here's what the President said. 279 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,799 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a terrible thing. I have great respect for 280 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:22,359 Telsey and the documents they found on President Obama. Frankly, 281 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,200 it was an Obama thing, but it was the people 282 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,880 that worked under him also working with him. And no, 283 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,400 it's a very very serious thing. 284 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a very serious thing. The question is 285 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,200 will the DOJ do something about it? Andy McCarthy, former DOJ, 286 00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:40,559 I'm sorry, Southern Diffect of New York prosecutor. This is 287 00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:41,279 his reaction. 288 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 8: Well, you know, look, we've already had a special counsel 289 00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:45,960 look at this for four years. 290 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,319 Speaker 1: But putting that aside. 291 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,039 Speaker 8: When he was under indictment by the Biden Justice Department 292 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:57,000 Special Council, President Trump got the Florida indictment dismissed, arguing 293 00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:01,480 that the Justice Department Special Council regulations are unconstitutional and 294 00:20:01,519 --> 00:20:06,799 they result in unconstitutional appointments. So there's that problem. There's 295 00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,880 the problem that President Trump also took the position that 296 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,720 presidents have to have, including former presidents, absolute immunity from prosecution. 297 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:19,359 Obviously that would apply to Obama too. But you know, 298 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,000 the most basic thing was, you only appoint a special counsel, 299 00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:26,599 even assuming the regulations are constitutional, when there is a 300 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:31,039 conflict of interest between the Justice Department and whoever is 301 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,960 under investigation. You have that like in the Hunter Biden situation, 302 00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:38,720 where it's the Biden Justice Department having to investigate the 303 00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:42,720 president's son. There's no conflict of interest in the Trump 304 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,640 Justice Department investigating Russiagate. If they want to waste time 305 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,960 and go through that again, they can do that. They 306 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,359 don't need a special counsel for it. BONDI can just 307 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,599 appoint someone to do it. 308 00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, so clearly Andy McCarthy thinks appointing a special council 309 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,599 does not work in this situation because there's no conflict 310 00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:02,880 of interest. So if BONDI wanted to do what she if, 311 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,400 you do it, but there's really no purpose in doing that. 312 00:21:06,079 --> 00:21:08,200 What else we got for you today? Oh yeah, there 313 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:14,240 were an interesting day in the Capitol because they've been 314 00:21:14,279 --> 00:21:19,720 bringing in Biden staffers, top people around Joe Biden. One 315 00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:24,000 of the top people that went in yesterday was a 316 00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:27,400 guy by the name of Ron Klain. And Ron Klain 317 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,319 is a guy who has been a loyalist to Joe Biden. 318 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,359 He was with him for decades. He goes way back 319 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,359 into the Senate years. He was a Joe Biden top advisor. 320 00:21:39,759 --> 00:21:43,160 He was Joe Biden's first chief of staff for the 321 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,200 first two years of the Biden administration. And guess what 322 00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:51,319 he did. He was subpoened. And remember the doctor and 323 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,440 all these other people that were on the staff took 324 00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:57,160 the Fifth Amendment, not Ron Klain. He went in and 325 00:21:57,319 --> 00:22:02,319 answered all of their questions all day long yesterday in Congress. 326 00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:06,200 Here's James Comer, the head of the Oversight Committee. 327 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,279 Speaker 5: Mitch Klain's being fairly responsive to our questions. There have 328 00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:16,400 been tidbits we've asked specific questions. Obviously evidence emerges on 329 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,559 a daily basis that would suggest Joe Biden wasn't mentally 330 00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:23,200 fit to be president the United States. We've had, you know, 331 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,799 we're about fifty to fifty with the Biden inner circle 332 00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:29,400 answering questions, and I certainly appreciate the ones that are 333 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,039 coming in and answering questions. 334 00:22:31,279 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 6: So far. 335 00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:32,799 Speaker 5: Ron Klain has done that. 336 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, so kudos to Ron Klain, Rocanna, Democrat. He also 337 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,400 was a little bit surprised that Klain f answered all 338 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,519 the questions. 339 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 9: There are times where he was asked about personal conversations 340 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,000 he had to the president, and he was forthcoming. I mean, 341 00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:51,519 if he could have said it was a private matter. 342 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,799 So it was a I really appreciate his candor in 343 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,319 the comprehensive way he had answered every question. 344 00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:04,319 Speaker 1: Even Jim Jordan from Ohio, the Republican, even he was amazed. 345 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 2: I was a little surprised because everyone else did exercised 346 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,240 some kind of privilege. I figured he would too, being 347 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,680 you know, the former chief of staff. 348 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, so everybody was surprised, and in the testimony yesterday, 349 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,880 apparently he did say that Biden was getting more confused, 350 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:27,519 confusing names, and add some memory lapses that had gotten worse. 351 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:33,200 But Clane stuck up for Joe Biden by saying, regardless 352 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,160 of all that he was still competent enough to govern. 353 00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:41,720 Chris Whipple, who wrote a book called Uncharted, He's been 354 00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:44,640 a longtime friend of Joe Biden's, but this was his 355 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,960 reaction to the fact that Kline and everybody else, everybody 356 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,640 else took the fifth except for Ron Klain. 357 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 6: Yeah. 358 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,759 Speaker 10: You know. Ron Klain is a fascinating character in this 359 00:23:54,839 --> 00:23:57,960 whole story, and he's been in the doghouse with Joe 360 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,839 Biden and his inner circle ever since. He was devastatingly 361 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,880 candid to me about Joe Biden's condition and that pre 362 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,240 debate prep at Camp David. I wrote about it in 363 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,279 my book Uncharted, and it was stunning, you know. I mean, 364 00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:15,319 Biden was out of it, he was disengaged, He wandered off, 365 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,519 sank into a lounge chair by the pool, so you know, 366 00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:23,039 he was I'm sure that he was asked about all 367 00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:26,000 of this. I'm sure that he confirmed every bit of it. 368 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,400 But the stunning thing to me, the most interesting thing 369 00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:36,000 about Clain is that despite that devastating debate, which was 370 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:41,079 lights out game over, everybody knew it, Clain was still 371 00:24:41,839 --> 00:24:46,400 all in on Joe Biden's nomination and reelection and somehow 372 00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:49,599 thought he could beat Trump and is still stunning to 373 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,920 me coming from somebody as politically savvy as run claim. Yeah, 374 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,279 I do think so. And in fact, the mystery at 375 00:24:56,279 --> 00:24:59,480 the heart of my book I'm Charted about the campaign 376 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,039 is the stunning extent to which Joe Biden's inner circle 377 00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:09,519 became lost in a kind of fog of denial and 378 00:25:09,559 --> 00:25:14,559 they just were convinced themselves. In effect, they believed what 379 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,880 they wanted to believe instead of their lying eyes. Even 380 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,079 during the debate when everything went south and Joe Biden said, 381 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,240 of course, you know, we finally beat Medicare, even during 382 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,759 the debate, his inner circle thought somehow that he had 383 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:31,519 won the debate. 384 00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: By the end. 385 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 10: It was truly stunning, and it says something about breathing 386 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,720 the rarefied air of the West Wing. 387 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: There had been many people in many administrations over decades 388 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,799 that have talked about the rarefied air of the West 389 00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:49,000 Wing and that you lose your mind, you don't think properly. 390 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,400 But the other thing about ron Klain and Chris Whipple 391 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,559 is a pro Biden guy, but you could tell Eves 392 00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:58,559 calling the shots like they were. And what happened with 393 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,240 ron Klain was he was the chief of staff for 394 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,559 the first two years of Joe Biden's term and then 395 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,960 he was replaced in I'm not sure why, whether on 396 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,640 his own desire or not. He's been like I said, 397 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,680 he's been with Biden for decades when he was a senator, 398 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,480 when he was vice president and his president, but only 399 00:26:18,519 --> 00:26:22,119 for the first two years. But Joe did really wreck, 400 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,039 didn't really show us the problems he was having cognitively 401 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,960 until the second half of his administration, the last two years, 402 00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:36,599 and Klane wasn't there during that period, so he said 403 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,079 Joe was he stuck up for Joe. He said he 404 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,680 was confused memory had gotten worse, but that he could 405 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,400 still govern. So that's what came out of so far 406 00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:50,480 out of these oversight hearings. But there's more to go 407 00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:56,599 on all of that. The White House is also filing 408 00:26:56,759 --> 00:27:01,680 a lawsuit against New York City and specifically about the 409 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,960 fact that it's a sanctuary city. I mean, the legal 410 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,319 eaese is more detailed, but the fact that you're a 411 00:27:08,319 --> 00:27:11,880 sanctuary city. How can you have a city within the 412 00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:15,240 border of the United States of America that says we're 413 00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:19,000 not going to follow the US government laws, federal laws. 414 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,160 And so it's not only New York, it's San Francisco's 415 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,640 Los Angeles. To go around the country and what this 416 00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:29,079 is the first of many lawsuits that are going to 417 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,319 be coming and it's going to throw this question into 418 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,440 the court on whether or not you can have a 419 00:27:34,559 --> 00:27:40,000 jurisdiction within the boundary of the United States refuse to 420 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,279 follow federal law. Here's Donald Trump at the in the 421 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,880 driveway before he was leaving for Scotland this morning. 422 00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:48,039 Speaker 5: Was asked about it. 423 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,599 Speaker 11: Hey, agains, they are adam in the last states name 424 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,519 the cdg off Stern in Vo City, scott you're. 425 00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 12: Talking, yeah, yeah, that's DOJ going against New York. But 426 00:27:59,319 --> 00:28:01,720 we're going again a lot of other places. We want 427 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,440 to bring safety to our cities. But that's a pretty uh, 428 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,640 that's going to be a pretty routine filing with other 429 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,039 cities to As you know, we've started numerous lawsuits with 430 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,799 other cities. We want to bring safety, we've got to 431 00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:17,960 get the criminals out, and we're doing it in Rectord's number. 432 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,759 Speaker 1: So let's see how this court case goes. Because if 433 00:28:21,759 --> 00:28:24,640 the court's rule in his favor, no question, they're going 434 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,680 to go after other cities and vice versa. If they 435 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,160 don't rule in his favor. Andy McCarthy again weighs in 436 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,920 on this business about filing a lawsuit against New York. 437 00:28:35,079 --> 00:28:38,519 Speaker 8: Well, you know the battle line here that constitutional we're 438 00:28:38,519 --> 00:28:43,880 speaking The states cannot be commondeared to enforce federal law, 439 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:47,920 but they can't obstruct it. So that's the line that exists. 440 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,400 It's the line that's often blurred. I think what the 441 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,880 administration can do is what it's been doing, which is 442 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,880 press every lever that's available to them legally, so that 443 00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:03,599 what to the extent that a state or a city resists, 444 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,559 that that is more in the nature or seen by 445 00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:09,480 the courts, is more in the nature of obstruction than 446 00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:13,599 the federal government trying to illegally commandeer. But it's you know, 447 00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:15,839 it's a fuzzy area, and that's why it gets litigated. 448 00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:21,200 BIL Sanctuary policies didn't just sort of spontaneously appear, right. 449 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,319 These are progressive politicians who are elected by New Yorkers 450 00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:28,440 who put them in So I may think that they're 451 00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:32,599 irrational and that the federal law has to be enforced. 452 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,640 But it's a difficult environment for Adams, and what he's 453 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,279 obviously trying to do is serve two masters who are 454 00:29:39,359 --> 00:29:41,640 very hard to serve. On the one hand, he wants 455 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,160 the immigration laws enforced so that he doesn't have crisis 456 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,680 conditions in the city like he had. On the other hand, 457 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,759 he's got an electorate that's kind of Trump hostile and 458 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,599 immigration enforcement hostile. 459 00:29:54,279 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: So again, if this goes to court and the court's 460 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,559 rule in favor of the President of the White House, 461 00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:02,799 then watch out. Other cities are going to be coming 462 00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:05,599 after you as well. If not, I don't know what 463 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,559 the next step is for the federal government other than 464 00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:10,480 what Andy said. It's just use a pressure from all 465 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,359 the other levers that the federal government has, and that 466 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:19,039 lever is primarily money. Yeah, that'll usually get everybody's attention. 467 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,880 So on this Friday, Financial Friday, you won't talk about 468 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,720 the FED because everybody's the Federal Reserve all of a 469 00:30:27,759 --> 00:30:31,759 sudden is front and center. Did you know, let me 470 00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:33,640 just set this up. I don't think a lot of 471 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,200 people know, and I don't think a lot of the 472 00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:39,119 media knows this because they don't. Nobody's ever mentioned it. 473 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,839 I'm the only one who's ever mentioned this on any 474 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,319 form of media that I know of. But the Federal Reserve, 475 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,559 we've talked about it's independent, and it truly is independent. 476 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,279 It was created by Congress back in nineteen thirteen and 477 00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:59,240 the only requirement that Congress gave them was they have 478 00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:04,000 to report semiannually every six months. They have the humph 479 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:07,200 it's called the Humphrey Hawkins testimony that the Federal Reserve 480 00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:10,119 chairman comes over on one day, talks to the House, 481 00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:13,640 next day, talks to the Senate, and then goes away 482 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,160 and comes back and does the same thing every six months. 483 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:20,480 That's the only connection that they have. Means no, the 484 00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:24,000 White House has no involvement. They are truly if the 485 00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:27,480 FED is independent. And when you talk about independence, you go, yeah, 486 00:31:27,559 --> 00:31:29,799 But Tom, what about the money? And the President is 487 00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:34,319 trying to pressure Powell about the overspending on the remodel 488 00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:37,720 of the fixing of the Federal Reserve buildings. Guess what, 489 00:31:38,839 --> 00:31:44,559 and this is important. Not one dollar from the federal 490 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,240 government goes to the Federal Reserve Board, not a penny, 491 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:54,680 not a taxpayer dime, it is an independent bank. It 492 00:31:54,799 --> 00:32:02,200 is owned by all the banks in the United States, 493 00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:06,799 and they're the ones who pay the fees, and they're 494 00:32:06,839 --> 00:32:10,839 the ones who buy and sell treasuries between the banks 495 00:32:11,119 --> 00:32:14,519 and the Federal Reserve Bank, upon which the Federal Reserve 496 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,599 charges interest to the banks. That's how they make their money. 497 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,039 They don't get any taxpayer money. So on one hand, 498 00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:27,160 everybody's having conniptions about the fact that they're way over 499 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:32,599 on their building, of their remodeling the old Federal Reserve building, 500 00:32:33,759 --> 00:32:37,559 and I'm going, yeah, that doesn't look good for anybody, 501 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,920 especially somebody that is in the financial business, that's a banker. 502 00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:45,640 How can they be watching it so bad? But on 503 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,839 the other hand, it's like, yeah, but it's not costing 504 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,599 you or me anything. It'd be kind of like going 505 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,480 next door to your neighbor and saying, you know, I 506 00:32:55,559 --> 00:32:59,759 noticed you're doing remodeling here, but I want to talk 507 00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:02,240 to you about how much you're spending on your remodeling 508 00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:04,599 of your house. And you know what, your neighbor would 509 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,960 tell you, none of your business. And I'm surprised that 510 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,160 the Federal Reserve hasn't said that it's none of the 511 00:33:13,279 --> 00:33:17,720 business of the White House or the Congress because it's 512 00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:22,680 not taxpayer money, but it was rather embarrassing. Yesterday, the 513 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,519 President goes over and takes does you know, he loves 514 00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:27,839 that real estate stuff. So he's got the hard hat 515 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,680 on and he's walking around with Jay Powell and they 516 00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:34,720 come to a designated spot where the media is assembled, 517 00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:39,759 and Donald Trump pulls out a piece of paper and says, 518 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,319 you're over by three billion dollars. And Jay Powell looked 519 00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:46,000 all confused and said, what, no, no, no, you're wrong. 520 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,440 And of course Trump came prepared with a piece of 521 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,359 paper from the Federal Reserve saying they've overspent by three billion. 522 00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:57,480 One of the caveats in that is the extra overspending 523 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,799 was for a building that they built five years ago. 524 00:34:01,759 --> 00:34:04,119 But still it does bring up the question about this 525 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,599 is the Federal Reserve Bank. How can they be so 526 00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:11,960 loosey goosey with the money? In any case, here's the 527 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,880 President along with Jay Palell yesterday when it was a 528 00:34:16,039 --> 00:34:17,480 very awkward moment. 529 00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:20,280 Speaker 7: It looks like it's about three point one billion. Who 530 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,639 went up a little bit or a lot, So the 531 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:27,639 two point seven is now three point one. Yeah, it 532 00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:28,840 just came out. 533 00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a very awkward moment. Jay Powell said no, no, no, no, no, 534 00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:35,079 no no, and Trump pulls out the piece of paper. 535 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,559 In any case, they're overspending, but it's not your money 536 00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:41,679 or mine. So it doesn't look good though for the 537 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:47,239 Central Bank. Here's President Trump talking about it with the 538 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,400 news media in the driveway again before he was leaving 539 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:51,440 for Scotland this morning. 540 00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that your own well. I think we 541 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,320 had a very good meeting forgetting about the building that's 542 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,480 out of consoles, old enough, but I think we had 543 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,679 a very good meeting on interests. And he said to me, 544 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,000 and I don't know if he's going to say this 545 00:35:12,079 --> 00:35:15,039 on Thursday or day every fax, but he said to 546 00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:21,119 me very strongly, the country is doing well. He said, congratulations, 547 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,920 the country is doing really well. And I got that 548 00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:27,440 to mean that I think he's going to start recommending 549 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:27,920 lower rate. 550 00:35:28,639 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: Well, we'll find out. I know that. Listen. I'm with 551 00:35:31,599 --> 00:35:34,360 the President. I'm on his side about this whole Unregarding 552 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,400 j Powell, I don't like the way he's handling it, 553 00:35:36,679 --> 00:35:39,760 and I think he's making his case worse because next 554 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,719 Tuesday and Wednesday, the FED has another meeting Federal Open 555 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,679 Market Committee meeting and they will vote on what to 556 00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:50,800 do about interest rates and let us know Wednesday at 557 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,079 around two o'clock in the afternoon Eastern time. But the 558 00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:58,079 more he's putting pressure on the Federal Reserve, the more 559 00:35:58,119 --> 00:36:00,239 they may dig their heels in and say, no, we're 560 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,679 not going to lower interest rates because he wants us to. 561 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,039 So they'll do it despite him. I don't know what 562 00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:08,480 they're going to do. They may look around and go, 563 00:36:08,639 --> 00:36:10,519 you know, maybe we do have some room to lower 564 00:36:10,519 --> 00:36:13,440 interest rates. I'm with the president. They should have lowered 565 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,960 rates by now, but they haven't. And I agree with 566 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,519 his nickname of too late Powell. Powell was too late. 567 00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:26,039 The Federal Reserve was too late in upping interest rates 568 00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:29,280 when inflation took off back in twenty twenty one. They 569 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,840 could have dampened that inflation fire. They did not remember 570 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,800 the churchy Secretary Janet Yellen coming out and going now, 571 00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:41,679 inflation is just transitory. It went up to nine and 572 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,960 a half percent consumer price index. It was out of control. 573 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,760 They did not they The fire department was called and 574 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,880 they didn't show up until the house was fully engulfed 575 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,480 in flames. And so the Powell is late the Federal 576 00:36:56,519 --> 00:36:59,159 Reserve Open Market Committee is late. We played for you 577 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:04,679 yesterday some comments by Larry Lindsay, a former I just 578 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,400 admire him a lot. He's a great economist, but he 579 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,639 was a former member of the Federal Reserve Board. And 580 00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:12,960 he said, what they've done is there's twelve members of 581 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,239 the Federal Open Market Committee, and they have chosen only 582 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,639 economists to be on that committee. And he said, I 583 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,119 think maybe we should have a banker, a business person, 584 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,519 some other people on there besides economists. And they all 585 00:37:27,599 --> 00:37:32,920 had to be from either Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stamford, 586 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,920 and so it's a bunch of people that are all 587 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,679 taught the same thing in the various schools of businesses 588 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,519 at these universities, and they need to have somebody in 589 00:37:44,559 --> 00:37:47,159 there with a different view other than these economists. So 590 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,400 they've done. Yeah, they're not doing a good job. They're 591 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,760 behind on everything. They should have lowered interest rates by now. 592 00:37:54,199 --> 00:37:58,239 So Wednesday afternoon, at two o'clock in the afternoon, we 593 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,199 will find out what the Federal Board is going to 594 00:38:01,199 --> 00:38:07,800 do this time. Wall Street's betting that using federal funds futures, 595 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,920 you can tell how much of their betting they don't 596 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,840 think they're going to drop interest rates at all. There's 597 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,159 another meeting in six weeks later in September, and they 598 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,400 think at that point there's a decent chance that they 599 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,639 will lower interest rates. But looking at the economy, and 600 00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:25,519 this is what the President just said. Powell told him 601 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,960 that the economy is in good shape. The country's in 602 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,320 good shape economically, so they don't want to rock the 603 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,760 boat by changing interest rates, is what I read from that. 604 00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:39,920 What the President read from that was he thinks that 605 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,760 the Fed is going to therefore drop interest rates. We'll 606 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,840 find out Wednesday. So back to today, Member George Santos, 607 00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:51,880 the former congressman from Long Island, who just everything he 608 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,280 said was absolutely a lie. Well guess what today was 609 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,239 his day to enter prison. He's been off for say, 610 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,159 he starts his prison term today for seven years. He 611 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:09,280 was on a podcast Political Voices, and I don't know 612 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,639 what are we gonna do without George Santos around. 613 00:39:12,199 --> 00:39:14,280 Speaker 13: Of course I'm remorse, of course I regret. Look at 614 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,079 what it's my own life. Do you think that I'm 615 00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:20,480 not remorseful like only those who are with me in 616 00:39:20,519 --> 00:39:23,039 my intimate setting on a day to day know how 617 00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:27,000 much I sit back and I cry sometimes myself to 618 00:39:27,039 --> 00:39:33,079 sleep of not just remorse, but of being like I repent, 619 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,840 like everything, Like if I could do it all over 620 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,159 it and it'd be so different. Not because I got caught, 621 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,039 because I was blinded by ambition and I did so 622 00:39:42,119 --> 00:39:44,960 much stupid right in the name of what becoming a congressman. 623 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 3: It's not even that cool. 624 00:39:47,559 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 1: That's my favorite part of the whole thing, is to 625 00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:56,320 be a congressman. And it's not even that cool. Funny. No, 626 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,880 he's got a lot of problems, and I wish him well. 627 00:40:00,599 --> 00:40:03,159 But when he said he was blind to buy ambition, well, 628 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,000 ambition is good. You just have to have a little 629 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,679 bit of a governor on it. You can't violate laws 630 00:40:10,679 --> 00:40:13,119 and make up lies and everything else to try to 631 00:40:13,159 --> 00:40:17,440 pursue your ambition. Pursue your ambition with them and vigor. 632 00:40:17,559 --> 00:40:21,280 But do it honestly, it's much better. You'll get a 633 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,079 much better dividend out of it later. What else have 634 00:40:24,159 --> 00:40:30,440 we got today? CBS paramount the Federal Trade Commission said, 635 00:40:30,519 --> 00:40:33,760 YEP deal is approved. So an eight I think it's 636 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,639 eight billion dollars is what Skydance has paid. And they 637 00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:40,719 are the new owners of Paramount, which owns CBS, which 638 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:46,079 owns the production company that John Stewart works for. So 639 00:40:46,639 --> 00:40:53,440 now that Coolbert is out the tour, we'll see what 640 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,719 happens at CBS, if they if they display anything new 641 00:40:57,119 --> 00:41:00,639 and different. The problem with buying CBS, as the problem 642 00:41:00,639 --> 00:41:03,760 with buying any of the networks, is that their era 643 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,199 I think is behind them. I really think most people, 644 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,199 not most. The numbers are huge now for it may 645 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:20,559 be most that you're getting your entertainment from other sources podcasts, streaming, 646 00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:27,360 but not on broadcasting one to many instead, it's one 647 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,760 to one. When you want to tune in, you tune in. 648 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,239 You want to watch a movie on Netflix, you dial 649 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:37,000 that up tonight and you look at it. So no 650 00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:41,079 sooner worth the deal done last night than South Park, 651 00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:45,159 which I find their humor to be just weird enough 652 00:41:45,559 --> 00:41:49,280 to where I like it. But they're a cartoon and 653 00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:53,719 they make fun of presidents and especially Donald Trump, and 654 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,360 so last night it got a lot of publicity because 655 00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,480 they showed a cartoon Donald Trump in bed with the Devil, 656 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:06,920 and it was interesting because nobody really said anything, and 657 00:42:07,079 --> 00:42:09,920 the guys who do south Park basically were thumbing their 658 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,280 nose at CBS and saying they just signed I think 659 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,119 a one and a half billion dollar deal with CBS. 660 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,519 So we'll see what changes with not only CBS but 661 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,400 all the broadcast companies. NBC is spinning off a lot 662 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,000 of their MSNBC and CNBC and a bunch of their 663 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,559 other networks. So television changing rapidly right before our eyes. 664 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,360 We're going to get some phone calls in we got well, 665 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,679 we played Truck and Cromudgeon already. But again, the phone 666 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,199 number if you want to call it a leave a message, 667 00:42:46,599 --> 00:42:52,199 phone numbers eight five, five, two, nine, five sixty six hundred. 668 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,400 You can find that number and all the links to 669 00:42:55,519 --> 00:42:58,800 the show, to the podcast. All that's on my website, 670 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,960 which is Tom's dot com. Including for people or you know, 671 00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:05,920 they can't figure out how to find my podcast.

But 693 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,360 I just do want to end on a positive note. 694 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,679 Oh my gosh, is the Tulcy gabber beautiful or what? 695 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,880 Oh my gosh, I hope she does press conference every day? 696 00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:38,280 Speaker 14: Uh. 697 00:44:38,559 --> 00:44:42,159 Speaker 11: And and Doc Trump said she's got thousands of pages 698 00:44:42,199 --> 00:44:45,840 of documents, So that name means she's gonna be on 699 00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,000 the TV a lot. And uh, you know, miss Saucy said, 700 00:44:49,159 --> 00:44:51,760 why are you walking? Look? Look why you always go 701 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,719 to TV when you hear Tulca Gabbert's Lloyds. Why, I 702 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,119 said to miss Sophie because she's got some important information. 703 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,679 I got to, you know, because the world's crazy, Pat 704 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:07,280 and Pultre's out there trying to straighten it out with Trump. Anyway, Uh, 705 00:45:07,559 --> 00:45:10,119 you know, I don't know what to do about that. 706 00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:12,360 I guess I better take him pictures I got in 707 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,760 my shop or her down. Otherwise Miss Salty's gonna probably 708 00:45:16,079 --> 00:45:18,800 kick me in the head. But anyway, Hey, Tom, have 709 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,880 a good weekend. Let's hope and pray people fingers crossed. 710 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,280 We don't lose no more, you know, people that's special 711 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,199 to us now, some of them dummies up in DC. Well, 712 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,360 I don't want to wish nothing bad on nobody, but 713 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,920 if they's just gone, that wouldn't be a bad thing. 714 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,000 I love you, buddy, have a good weekend. 715 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 1: So so, what did we learn from Salty? A lot 716 00:45:42,519 --> 00:45:45,880 of celebrities died, and that he's in love with Tulsa 717 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,719 Gabbard and he has pinups of her in his shop 718 00:45:50,159 --> 00:45:53,360 and he doesn't want mississ Salty to see them. But 719 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,880 he's hoping that there's a lot, a lot of news 720 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,199 conferences with Tulca Gavert because he's got the Haughts for her. 721 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,800 I don't know what else we learn. All right, let's 722 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,679 let's wrap it with the comment line, Lady Laurie here 723 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,159 she is, I. 724 00:46:09,039 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 14: Agree with the people who find the abrupt commercial breaks 725 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,599 to be disconcerting. You'll announce that you're going to play 726 00:46:16,599 --> 00:46:19,519 a clip from a government official, and the next thing 727 00:46:19,519 --> 00:46:22,360 we hear is do you have spinning hair and brittle 728 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:23,039 finger nails? 729 00:46:24,159 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 6: Yeah? 730 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, I know, I know 731 00:46:27,639 --> 00:46:29,920 I have I don't have control over that. 732 00:46:30,639 --> 00:46:30,960 Speaker 6: I don't. 733 00:46:31,079 --> 00:46:33,760 Speaker 1: There are just certain things you can't control. I'm trying 734 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,880 to work with them and see if we can iron 735 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:41,599 that out somehow. But well, do you have dunning hair 736 00:46:41,639 --> 00:46:46,079 and brittle nails. I'll be surprised that they didn't put 737 00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:49,119 it right here, just just plug it in right here. 738 00:46:49,519 --> 00:46:52,079 But I don't I don't have control. Some computer somewhere 739 00:46:52,599 --> 00:46:55,960 plugs all that sort of stuff in Wall Street. Today. 740 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:03,760 Well let's see what happened. Almost one more week of July. 741 00:47:04,679 --> 00:47:10,159 But for today, the Dow Jones industrials up two hundred 742 00:47:10,159 --> 00:47:14,840 and eight to forty four thousand and nineh one.
