Police State

WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.160
Some crazy ship to bring to air. But I don't
2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.279
know about bringing to air. It's insane. Like my daughter's school.
3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.240
They're going to the Israeli embassy.
4
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.320
What that seems like a risky move right now? Yeah,
5
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.559
it's not great. Are they gonna go anywhere near the
6
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:26.559
Arab Uh? I'm not right around the corner, Yeah, I'm
7
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:28.320
plus traffic.
8
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:31.800
Around the Israeli embassy sucks usually up one terrible.
9
00:00:33.920 --> 00:01:03.600
Oh it is nine to thirty on a Thursday night
10
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.040
and you were tuned into beltweit radio and beyond which
11
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:07.680
ken mean one an only thing.
12
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:14.680
There's a chip chat?
13
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:19.200
Why don't to chip chat everybody? I'm Jim, who are
14
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:19.719

You? Just good? Good? Uh? Good evening and uh and
16
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:26.280
welcome back to the war.
17
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.079
It's it's on again, I guess.
18
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:29.640
Yeah.
19
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.000
The last update that came in is just but no,
20
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:39.239
it's it's the rare cease fire that continues with firing.
21
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.680
Yes, it's one of those those uh what do you
22
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:44.560
call those things?
23
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:46.200
Wars? You know?
24
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:51.439
I mean it's it's it's a ceasefire that isn't.
25
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.680
Yeah, it's a mirage of a cease it's like cease
26
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.319
like we'll say it. But We're gonna keep firing.
27
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.280
It's like, uh, those those couples you know who are
28
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:08.080
married but like clearly don't like each other, like you know,
29
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:10.240
but you know they're married, but they're.
30
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.000
Not really married.
31
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:19.039
Yeah, so it's like that, Hey, cool, that's that's great.
32
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:20.199
Good times.
33
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:25.280
Yeah, I wrote a whole show yesterday. It doesn't seem
34
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:30.000
as relevant, but we're gonna do it anyway.
35
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.360
It'll be it'll be new to me.
36
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.479
Yeah, test is our is our best audience.
37
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.759
Always. I'm learning all of this for the first time
38
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:45.639
every Thursday.
39
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:53.199
That's hilarious, joking, kind of kind of all right, well,
40
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:54.199
I guess we will get.
41
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:57.919
To those things before we do some headlines.
42
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:03.319
But yeah, welcome to a special special edition of chip Chat,
43
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.120
where we're not only just under occupation, you know, by
44
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.360
our own troops in our own city, but the full
45
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.120
force of the police state is coming out to silence critics.
46
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.360
We don't just mean Jimmy Kimmel. So we have all
47
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.400
kinds of real stuff we're going to talk about. We
48
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.840
have several main topics tonight. We've got the police state,
49
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.319
the state of the war, and the state.
50
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.120
Of the of the golf. So you can figure out
51
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:30.840
what we're talking about there.
52
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.400
Yeah, state of the war is changing, so we'll have
53
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.039
to cover that. Also, we're still working on chip Chatterstan.
54
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:42.680
So if you out there would like to help help
55
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.919
us run the go fund me, you can be our
56
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.439
chancellor of the ex checker, I believe is the way
57
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.599
your people call this. Yes, correct, Yeah, and you can
58
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.120
be as corrupt as you want. I think that's fine
59
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.840
really as long as we end up with enough money
60
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.199
to get to a micro con and.
61
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:05.039
Back.
62
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.319
I think those are the two criteria. We want to
63
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:12.759
go there and we want to come home. Other than that,
64
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:14.240
I don't think we have any are there.
65
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.240
There's no other criteria really for our ex checker.
66
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.439
No, no, no, we don't have any like real currency
67
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.680
to manage. You can make up the currency, you can.
68
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.839
Well wait, does the ex checker do the currency or
69
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:27.000
they just do the like.
70
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.480
Fiscal stuff. Come on, man, you federal reserve type dude,
71
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:33.240
treasury dude.
72
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.360
Man, I don't know about Yeah, you're expect me to
73
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.519
know about this stuff that's going on over there an American.
74
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.240
Yeah, it's funny.
75
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.279
Uh, yeah, I don't actually know.
76
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.160
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, some some type of finance
77
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:48.879
minister has.
78
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.800
To They say finance minister sometimes, but like there's no
79
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:53.800
American equivalent of finance.
80
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.000
I guess we have like Treasury secretary.
81
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.480
Yeah, that would be the finance minister, because they all
82
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.680
have they have an indo pendent fed in the sense,
83
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.040
well they.
84
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.360
Have the they have the Central Bank.
85
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.439
Yeah, so that's like they're fed and then and then
86
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.839
they have I get. But but checker is also like
87
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.639
second in command behind the PM.
88
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.879
Right, I believe, So I believe that's correct.
89
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.519
Yeah, and then there's the Interior or I don't you
90
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.120
know what we won both of those wars.
91
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.720
I don't have to know that stuff I might get
92
00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.040
and as I looked that up, Yeah, the ex Checker
93
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:31.560
Service as the State Central Treasury.
94
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:32.959
So yes, you're correct.
95
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:36.920
Okay, cool, so you can you can do that or not.
96
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.560
I don't care. Just we just need help doing this.
97
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.759
I don't know how to do it, all right, No.
98
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.000
And and you can you can pick a title. I
99
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:48.920
suppose if we just need help, I can't do it.
100
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:54.319
I'm overwhelmed already. I have too much, right, Yeah, I
101
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:56.199
have to write my show. I have to book all
102
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.240
the guests. I have to I don't think there's anything else.
103
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.519
But but no, Brian does all the editing. I have
104
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.879
to do all the posting and and all the social media.
105
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.680
I'm our social media department, if you can believe that.
106
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.240
So, yeah, I need some help, and nobody else on
107
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:16.800
the show is going to help.
108
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.040
They are.
109
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:21.399
Everybody else who who's on this show is maxed out
110
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.560
in their capabilities to help.
111
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:25.600
Maxed out.
112
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.720
So we need somebody from the outside.
113
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:36.319
I might need next week off, of course, we'll call
114
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.399
the green collar folks and see if they want to.
115
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:57.240
Yeah, of which it's it's okay, yeah, Brian, he just
116
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:57.720

00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.040
have you have a word?
120
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:13.000
I've got one.
121
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.759
I got a word relevant to my real life, so
122
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:16.519
I'm gonna use it.
123
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.639
Hopefully this all works. We'll see what happens.
124
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.800
All right, We're gonna take a little break, So sit back,
125
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.079
grab some pandemic.
126
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:28.800
It's commencement time.
127
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.240
You're listening to the best show, the only show, tip
128
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.680
Chat on Beltwegh Radio and Beyond.
129
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:34.759
It's back.
130
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.480
All right, Welcome back to chip Chat here on Beltweigh
131
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:09.480
Radio and Beyond.
132
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.600
I'm your chip with me is tz?
133
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:12.920
What's every bet?
134
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.160
All right? So, look, we're gonna do the headlines.
135
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.160
This is This is I think the part of the
136
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:22.879
show that people most look forward to, and by most
137
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.879
I mean that it comes first.
138
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.120
Yeah. I was gonna say it's in the beginning.
139
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:29.399
It's in the beginning.
140
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.080
So and that's the part where people are still.
141
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:34.840
Listening and then they leave. I think maybe not.
142
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.320
Maybe it'll get so big that we can put it
143
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:42.200
in the last thirty minutes, so big, and then we'll
144
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:48.519
have what is it, uh tsl time spent listening. Yeah,
145
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.879
all the things, all the things that if I could
146
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.240
really sit down and put some time into, if.
147
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.240
Only you put some effort, Yeah, we could have We
148
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.799
could have two hours of people listen name getting to
149
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.240
the headlinesea of two hours.
150
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.480
Crazy to not have the headlines at the beginning, but
151
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.679
it would be very funny, would be very funny, very funny.
152
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.879
But before we do that, just to let everybody know,
153
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.120
so we mentioned that the war's kicking back off it
154
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.200
it appears that uh Iran has forgot the central tenant
155
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:28.399
of don't touch their boats. I don't know how how
156
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:35.240
online everybody is, but there is this pretty decent joke
157
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.240
meme about how America's military will tolerate a lot, but
158
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.720
they won't tolerate anybody touching our boats.
159
00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:47.879
And by boats they mean ships, and and they're talking about.
160
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:50.759
You know, the like Japan bomb Pearl Harbor and we
161
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.200
went absolutely nuts and nuked them, and that there's other
162
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.759
instances where somebody has attacked the US ship and we
163
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:02.759
have responded, like the Spanish American War, remember the main
164
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.000
or the USS coal or anyway, So there's this this
165
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.200
joke about this.
166
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.840
The Iranians shot at some of our ships.
167
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:15.559
There in the blockade, and since we're pretending blockades aren't wars,
168
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:22.159
we're also pretending that this exchange of fire munitions but fire,
169
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.679
this exchange of fire is still a cease fire.
170
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:27.960
In that it.
171
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:33.679
Ceased after it exchanged and everybody stopped shooting to reload.
172
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:36.679
I guess I don't know. He's right alternative facts.
173
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:42.840
Yeah, right, So anyway, just to that's that's fast moving.
174
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.440
That is happening now, so we will we'll try to
175
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.759
keep you updated throughout the show.
176
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.799
All right, you ready to do some deadlines. There'll be
177
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:49.960
a deal by the end of the show.
178
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.639
Yeah, right, of course, We've got the framework of a deal,
179
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.440
concepts of a deal, concepts of a plan.
180
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.919
It's fine, all right, you got the first one them
181
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.200
the rules go.
182
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.200
This should be fun. I think this will end up
183
00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:03.039
very hilarious.
184
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.000
Trump announced that the US Navy would help ships pass
185
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.440
through the Straight of Horn moves, but out of deference
186
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:12.320
to Milania, he isn't using the word escort.
187
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:13.840
Ah.
188
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:19.320
And yes we're implying that. Come at me, bro him him.
189
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.720
Don't worry. They know who does the show, all right.
190
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.679
Several hours after announcing the escort mission, dub Project Freedom
191
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.360
Trump perverse course just like all the ships in the
192
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:31.080
Persian Gulf.
193
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:32.879
Mm go.
194
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.159
Pete Hesef gave a press briefing to describe how the
195
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.159
mission to run the blockade wasn't that, but had to
196
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.919
stop because the phrase run the blockade was what his
197
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:44.120
fred brothers called.
198
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:49.159
Him when he was on a date. Yes, no, Pete, no,
199
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:54.960
oh jeez price. Yeah, sorry, should have rather ahead on
200
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.759
that one. Uh heck. Seth also expressed regret that Iran
201
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:04.519
could possibly expect to get bombed again. Uh and he
202
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:11.679
could not until Friday, sure, until Friday. All right, this
203
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.799
is a nice Yeah, this is you gotta do the voice.
204
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:17.799
Excuse me, let's do this.
205
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:22.159
Epstein apparently had a suicide note, which The New York
206
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:27.799
Times reported Read's quote, Trump was totally innocent. I Jeffrey Epstein,
207
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:32.360
the man with small hands, much smaller than Trump's hands.
208
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:36.720
I alone did all the raping. And I also I
209
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.240
made Trump.
210
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:42.519
Take a cognitive test, and he hasted many times. And
211
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:45.720
then I told him he was better looking, smarter than
212
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.799
anyone I know. And he said, I know because he's
213
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:51.519
so smart. His uncle was a teacher at MIT, so
214
00:12:51.600 --> 00:13:00.759
he knows about only good can happen? Can only that happen?
215
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:01.720
Exactly?
216
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:11.159
A man was shot and captured by Secret Service agents
217
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:12.919
after the man took a shot at JD.
218
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.960
Vance's motorcade. No word on how mister Pence is doing.
219
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:18.200
Jesus Christ.
220
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.960
Earth is going to experience a record large El Nino,
221
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:27.399
which is what Trump thinks happened at the Super Bowl
222
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:27.960
halftime show.
223
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.399
Yes, and I like that.
224
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:36.000
He's out there with the hippity hap all right.
225
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:41.759
The warm waters off the South America will impact weather patterns,
226
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:45.279
including here in the States, prompting Marjorie Taylor Grilly Green
227
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:51.919
to claim that El Nino is in fact Jewish.
228
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:59.879
Observing Ted Turner died this week, and to honor him,
229
00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:02.480
the Braves have continued to beat the living daylights out
230
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:03.600
of the rest of the NLS.
231
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.080
Might start the best record in.
232
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:09.279
I think, Yeah, I think they're still ahead by the
233
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:14.159
game or two, but yeah, they're they're on fire. Ted
234
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:17.200
Turner gave us CNN, TNT, and several other three letter
235
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.360
names for things that we hate but that we have
236
00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:19.799
to watch.
237
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:20.519
Yeah.
238
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.879
Turner was known for his environmental activism and as the
239
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:28.600
Mouth of the South, a title now held for different
240
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.559
reasons by Lindsey Graham.
241
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.159
You got all the good ones.
242
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:45.200
Tonight, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is restoring their training program
243
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.080
to the original length seventy two days to be exactly,
244
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.440
putting a new course on how to walk on actual
245
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:52.600
ice without slipping.
246
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:03.039
Okay, all right, Also including the new training our courses
247
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:06.240
on gun safety, how to tie your shoes, and whether
248
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.559
an object is your ass or a hole in the ground.
249
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.360
And finally, Senator Susan Collins of Maine announced that she
250
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.639
has a benign essential tremor, which explains her physical shaking
251
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:27.759
but not her moral inconsistencies. Yikes, Hey, what's she gonna do?
252
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:33.600
Come and get me. I have stairs. That's gonna be
253
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:39.759
enough to stop her. Enough what she's seventy thousand years old. Also,
254
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:45.399
we need term limits and like aged caps, need these
255
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:49.679
old people to go. She's running for her sixth term. Yeah,
256
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:54.559
the sinks as a senator from Maine. There aren't even
257
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.039
as many people in Maine as there are years she's
258
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:01.200
served in the Senate. That's a problem them.
259
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:01.960
I agree.
260
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.600
So there also likes to make fun of people with
261
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.519
essential tremors.
262
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.120
That you heard it about what I agree? He said?
263
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.159
I agreed. Yep, that's good. I'm going to get one now.
264
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:21.279
I know that's what's gonna happen. All right, No, no, no,
265
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.200
that's gonna stop it. No no, Yes, has.
266
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.960
Discovered a new form of medical treatment called wishing things
267
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:30.720
wouldn't happen.
268
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.960
Turns out we need it all along.
269
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:37.759
The hint a virus? Is that what's out there? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
270
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.039
no virus. No.
271
00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.200
People are like, oh, it's gonna be another pandemic or what.
272
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:44.799
It's not.
273
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.120
It's not a thing you can pass like person to
274
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.559
person like that. You get it from mouse droppings, uh
275
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.440
hap on cruise ships. But it only ever happens on cruise.
276
00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.279
But if this thing mutates where you can go to
277
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:04.160
person a person, for God's sakes, please sure if I don't,
278
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:09.319
like again, I just feel a certain way about these
279
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.039
damn viruses. And I was telling someone that he's like,
280
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:16.000
you know, we escaped a lot of these pandemics before
281
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:18.839
we actually got one. Because you think about like the
282
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:20.880
bird flus and the swine flues, Like there were a
283
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:24.680
few of those that popped up a bowler scared everybody,
284
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.319
remember that, Oh that was crazy, Like.
285
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:29.880
When they sent the person to like Atlanta or something like,
286
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:32.519
they went, like, saved a bunch of people in that
287
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:34.160
one too. Yeah.
288
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:36.680
Yeah, So I mean, you know, we dodged these a
289
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:40.079
lot of the time, but I don't right now. Again,
290
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:41.880
as we talk about a lot of things right now,
291
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.559
this administration doesn't give you any hope, like even though
292
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.119
it's not even but like if something did happen, like
293
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.440
we've been down this road before, Yeah, it's it's.
294
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.640
It is it's reasonable to be more terrified of what
295
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:01.400
would otherwise be a bad but handleable situation. And because
296
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.319
I I think a lot of people don't have any
297
00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.119
confidence that there's any grown ups in charge anywhere, So
298
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:13.359
you know what would what would you do? I mean,
299
00:18:13.400 --> 00:18:15.799
imagine a situation where it starts to get out of control.
300
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.119
An RFK junior is like, well, what we need to
301
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.359
do is go get raccoon penises and grind those up
302
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:23.960
and rub them into our eyes and that'll solve it.
303
00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:29.440
And then like real states like California or something go no, no,
304
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.559
we're going to use like public health, and Trump like
305
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:35.359
drone strikes them for saying that.
306
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:35.640
That could happen.
307
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.640
That could be a real thing, like in the thing
308
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:54.240
of the dumbest possible outcome, and that's the possibility is going. Actually, yeah,
309
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.400
I mean that same guy wants all the black kids
310
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:02.480
reparented or something because he thinks everybody on animal yeah,
311
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:12.920
on farms, farms, specific kind of farms there, Bobby Wow. Yeah,
312
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:19.799
I don't know what to do about him. That's jeans, right,
313
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.519
workout in jeans. That'll t be a real shame if
314
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.000
like Trump's final way of destroying this country was to
315
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:27.400
just let Kennedy do it.
316
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:31.319
No, I see this guy getting fired. Oh yeah, well.
317
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:33.240
Yeah, I don't know when it's coming soon. I don't
318
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.200
know what it's gonna be, but I see that coming
319
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:36.720
soon for him.
320
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.279
He's violating the central tenet of being in the Trump cabinet,
321
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.799
which is dou shalt not take up more attention than
322
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.440
the president.
323
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:46.160
And he's getting too much attention.
324
00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:49.039
And Trump doesn't like it when anybody else gets any attention.
325
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.079
So yeah, I think I think you're right.
326
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.640
But we'll see I mean, what could we'll see pin
327
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:58.079
and that we'll come back to Kennedy's ruining this country.
328
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:01.759
It's only happened a few other times, uh, depending on
329
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:04.839
who you ask. Yeah, we got thoughts.
330
00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:05.839
All right, you.
331
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:09.039
Already take a break. Great, all right, we're gonna take
332
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.039
a break. When we come back. We've got a new
333
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.160
segment called Political Retribution. You're listening to Jeff Chaddon on
334
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:18.160
Beltwegh Radio and beyond new segment.
335
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:35.799
Before you hit that doorway, you better check that curl.
336
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.039
Cleveland told me.
337
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:44.079
Along o'clock when you some light on my fings, you
338
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:54.160
can't stand outside with the curl out of players.
339
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:56.359
A tighten that loop the drias curl brother, that ain't move.
340
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.440
I need that trip, need that shine to the heave
341
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:07.119
my curling slick ad exchange from the roots to the tips.
342
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.960
Let it fall at truth.
343
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:15.000
There ain't nothing popping until I grab the juiceful African
344
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:21.720
very juice. So George curls so full, gets to show.
345
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.839
Friends Jean dreams in every strength.
346
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.319
But without them, can it calls nothing of my beads.
347
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:35.480
Get the juice to keep your curls strip so clean,
348
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.799
sass smooth, must fash hit and you know the truth.
349
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:43.720
Get the juice to keep your pl loose from the
350
00:21:43.799 --> 00:21:46.759
crowd to the roots. In the curling.
351
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.200
Without the juice, gonna give your car to.
352
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:01.799
Go boom.
353
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:08.920
I filled bottom straight from the lake Victoria a victory
354
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:11.440
hands any amnibals, bring the.
355
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:12.160
Curl you for.
356
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:13.680
It.
357
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:16.160
If one's fine, dead and a.
358
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:20.960
Strong and if that voracious ain't play, you've been bunged.
359
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:25.839
So I turn curls to a not so quick So
360
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.200
keep a bottle close again, that's the trick.
361
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.799
Ree a fire on the dogs. Keep the motion then growing,
362
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.119
Stay glossy all day with the juice.
363
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:45.279
No harsh chemicals, no itchy scull, no greasy couch stains.
364
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:51.240
Don't mess up my headrest man, Just shine, bust and
365
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.599
drip and drip and drip.
366
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:01.240
Get the juice, keep your set it for, let it shine,
367
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:07.680
Let the pad on working over time in the juice
368
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:08.960
if your mars.
369
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.759
Yeah, you already know the truth.
370
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:32.880
The juice, the juice on the magnetic elevators.
371
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:33.920
Think of it. Magnets.
372
00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:35.640
Now, all I know about magnets is this.
373
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:37.960
Give me a glass of water, let me drop it
374
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:39.920
on the magnets. That's the end of the magnets. Why
375
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:42.799
didn't they use John Deere? Why didn't they bring in
376
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:43.720
the John Deere people?
377
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:44.599
Do you like John Deere?
378
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:50.839
I like John.
379
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:53.720
Yeah, I'm your chip with these tests?
380
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.359
Wait, what what did you forget about?
381
00:24:01.000 --> 00:24:03.920
Well? I can't forget about it. Yeah.
382
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.400
Trump thinks that magnets don't work in water.
383
00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.759
What okay?
384
00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:11.039
What is he actually talking about?
385
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:13.359
The wet magnet? Right?
386
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:16.799
Is it like if it there's something that doesn't work
387
00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:18.200
though it doesn't keep work.
388
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.200
Of course, magnets work through water. That's a dumb thing
389
00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:27.000
to say. What he's talking about is I think he
390
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:31.720
thinks that electro magnets, which is what how that elevator
391
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:39.480
on the aircraft carrier works, are not like resilient enough
392
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:44.599
because electricity can be damaged if it gets wet, right,
393
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:48.039
which would mean that none of the parts of the
394
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.119
ship would work because there's a lot of electricity involved.
395
00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:55.920
In modern ocean going vessels, of course.
396
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:58.480
And it sits in water, and they sit in water,
397
00:24:58.599 --> 00:25:01.640
and and uh you know somebody who works with electricity
398
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:04.920
on a regular basis, it's true that it's not great
399
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.359
to get your your stuff wet, mostly because you can
400
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:09.440
get shocked.
401
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:10.440
Right, I thought that was easily.
402
00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:15.599
Yeah, but uh no, that's not how any There is nothing,
403
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.680
nothing that works the way he says it does.
404
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:19.960
And that's a good example.
405
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:23.920
An electric eel must like flip his ass out.
406
00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:30.599
I would bet he doesn't think they're real, like democratic hope,
407
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:38.079
that's no electric eels completely. Marco is our secretary of eels. Marco,
408
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.000
have you ever seen an electric eel? And Ruby would
409
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.599
be like, no, no, I've never seen an electric hill.
410
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:46.640
Whatever you say, sir, that's Marco.
411
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:47.400
Look at his shoes.
412
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:49.240
They don't fit. I made him wear of those shoes,
413
00:25:49.519 --> 00:25:55.200
you know, And I mean, yeah, I don't know. This
414
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:58.599
song is a good song and Brian adding things to
415
00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.599
the end of it now has.
416
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:02.799
Become a bit so it's good.
417
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:03.519
All right.
418
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:08.920
Uh So, let's let's get into this one of our
419
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.400
three main segments tonight. So when Trump took office the
420
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:16.240
second time, he promised that he would exact retribution on
421
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:20.160
his perceived enemies. He has increased the pressure on those
422
00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:23.799
enemies in much the same way that his fat ass has.
423
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:27.200
Been increasing the pressure on his chairs. And much like
424
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.759
those chairs, Trump.
425
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:36.119
Is threatening to punish and what Yeah, Trump is threatening
426
00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:38.400
to punish things and and uh, And like the chairs,
427
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:42.079
they've largely remained standing, albeit on shake your legs, while
428
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:47.440
Trump's fake FBI spends months investigating seashells. All the men
429
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:50.519
in the Epstein files were made at large, like our
430
00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:54.920
commerce secretary and uh. And they're likely committing more crimes,
431
00:26:54.960 --> 00:27:00.000
and some are now committing war crimes like Trump because
432
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:01.960
he's in the files and he's doing the war crime
433
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.839
we're talking about Trump.
434
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:04.680
Trump is in the Epstein files and he's a.
435
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.680
War criminal now too. He's all the criminals. I think
436
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:12.079
he's done the he's done the white collar crime. He's
437
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:13.519
done the crime.
438
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:21.480
Federal crime, yeah, local crime, local crime, local crime, international
439
00:27:21.519 --> 00:27:23.480
crime is is.
440
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:26.799
Yeah, He's like the I hop of crime.
441
00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:28.960
You know, like.
442
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:30.480
Flavors from around the world.
443
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:31.559
You want a war.
444
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:32.200
Crime, we got that.
445
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:38.039
See, like some countries just have you know, like grifty
446
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.319
leaders who like raid the treasury and stuff.
447
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:42.720
We've got one of those.
448
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.880
But he also does all of these other kinds of
449
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.440
terrible things like bombing schools.
450
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:49.759
So, I how.
451
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:58.880
International House of Crime there, you got to you by
452
00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.720
mar A Lago.
453
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.720
You're heard it here first, everybody.
454
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:05.400
Mar Alago, or as we like to call it, I
455
00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:08.720
hawk International House of Crime.
456
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:09.079
Yeah.
457
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:13.640
Also the White House, Yeah, into the International House of Crime. Yeah,
458
00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:18.039
Supreme Court also another international house of crime, which is
459
00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.119
weird to be honest, because it's because it's court.
460
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.680
Yeah, it's where you go after you commit the crime.
461
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:28.480
Commit the crime. And Congress they don't do anything. Yeah,
462
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:32.039
they can't be blamed because they haven't done anything. Yeah.
463
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:38.079
Ever, this Congress has set a record for the least
464
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:43.480
like actual bills passed. And the record they beat was
465
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:50.759
themselves from the last time. Like Mike Johnson tremendous in
466
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:52.000
his ability to do.
467
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:54.519
Nothing, nothing nothing.
468
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:59.000
Yeah that is uh fake Sun loves that all right. Anyway,
469
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:03.880
Oh god, let's talk about these weird retribution things. So
470
00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:08.440
here's some of the retribution highlights of our newfound police state.
471
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.519
And when we say police state, we're talking about something.
472
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:12.000
There are a lot of people who would say, well,
473
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:13.720
America was always a police date.
474
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:16.960
Yeah, okay for some For.
475
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.799
Some people, yes, that is a good point, like fashions
476
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.720
and has at certain points always been in certain areas
477
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.960
we're talking. Yes, yes, this is now a different like
478
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:30.359
the actual not focusing I would say on specific groups,
479
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:35.279
yes they are, but like it's more omnipresident, I would.
480
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:38.160
Say, it's it is more omni president, and it's more
481
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:44.119
overt I think is maybe the party, Yeah, because we're
482
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.160
used to There are people who have said things like, well,
483
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:49.079
I don't want to talk about things because I fear,
484
00:29:49.359 --> 00:29:51.680
you know, getting fired or whatever, or you know, I
485
00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:53.200
don't want the government coming after me.
486
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:55.839
But I don't think they really meant it.
487
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.519
You know, for the most part, we now have a
488
00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:03.279
president who is open about using the power of the
489
00:30:03.319 --> 00:30:08.599
federal government and the dj to target people he doesn't
490
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.599
like to target his critics. And that's a confusing thing
491
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:14.759
in a country that is built on free speech. So
492
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:23.680
you know, yeah, So here's example number one, this case
493
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:25.759
against the Southern Poverty Law Center.
494
00:30:25.880 --> 00:30:27.200
Now full disclosure.
495
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:28.279
I am a.
496
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:35.200
Monthly sustaining giver to uh Southern Poverty Law Center, have
497
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:39.240
been for years, I think actually since a little before
498
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:44.480
Trump won and UH Trump one point zero, I should say. Yeah,
499
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.880
So it's going on like a decade now, and they
500
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.400
do great work. And and just to explain sort of
501
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:58.680
what SPLC does, they they are they're in Alabama, they
502
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:01.079
were they were sort of set up during the Civil
503
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:04.200
Rights era or a little after, and they keep an
504
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:13.119
eye on hate groups and extremism, specifically racist extremism in
505
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:16.039
the United States and around the world, and they report
506
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:19.160
on it, and they often do a bunch of the
507
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.920
lawyering on behalf of people who have been the victims
508
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:26.440
of this stuff. Or Another thing that they do spend
509
00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:29.799
a lot of time doing is dig up the information
510
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:34.359
on these hate groups and then pass that over to
511
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:38.240
law enforcement, whether it's state, local, or even the FBI,
512
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:40.559
which is a lot of what they do. And part
513
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:44.680
of how they do that is they pay informants. Right,
514
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:50.000
they'll infiltrate clan groups or whatever, and they'll be like, hey,
515
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:53.880
Billy Bob, do you want to make some real money,
516
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:57.680
And Billy Bob is like, oh, yeah, absolutely, I have
517
00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:59.480
none on account.
518
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:00.000
Of the literacy.
519
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:04.880
And then they would be like, well, here is five dollars.
520
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.119
Can you name everybody at your little hood party? And
521
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.039
he'd be like yeah, for sure, here they are, and
522
00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:12.359
then he gives them a list, right, and then then
523
00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:14.480
they go, thanks, Billy Bible, we'll call you next week.
524
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:15.079
Right.
525
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:18.119
And then they just keep doing that and they build
526
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:22.359
up these massive case files and I don't know, for
527
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:25.559
like thirty five forty years. They would take those files
528
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:27.200
once they got them built up, and they would just
529
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:29.240
hand them over to the FBI and be like, here
530
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:32.079
you go, we did a lot of your work for you.
531
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:34.799
Go get them right, right, and then the FBI would
532
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:35.240
review it.
533
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:37.680
They would find all the things that were definitely criminal
534
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.759
activity and whatever, and then they would bust up a
535
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:44.160
clan group or bust up a cult or extremist group
536
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:47.200
or whatever, and then they would hold a press conference
537
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:50.000
and take all the credit for it, and Southern Probaty
538
00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:53.839
Law Center and'd be like, Hi, good job, fellas.
539
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:55.559
And then they would just go on and do more
540
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:55.839
of that.
541
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:58.039
You keep doing it. Yeah, the cycle doing it.
542
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.000
And they've been doing it for a very long time,
543
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.119
which is a little confusing.
544
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:03.039
Why this happened.
545
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:05.960
The Justice Department announced, with great fanfare a series of
546
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:10.640
fraud charges against the storied civil rights group that has
547
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:14.119
angered conservatives in recent years, but the unusual nature of
548
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:17.160
the charges could present challenges in court, especially for a
549
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:21.119
department already under fire for targeting the president's opponents and critics.
550
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:26.240
So one of the things that is inconvenient for Trump
551
00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:31.720
is that those files about all the racists and violent
552
00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:37.000
extremists that Southern Poverty Law Center keeps compiling contain all
553
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:42.440
of their people. And for an administration that the first
554
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.119
time around said all the Nazis and Charlottesville were very
555
00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:50.880
fine people. You could see why they don't like any
556
00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:55.119
of this, and so including like Southern Poverty Law Center
557
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:58.680
was had had named Turning Points as like a hate group,
558
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.559
and which they are.
559
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.559
I don't think there's any reasonable disagreement.
560
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.480
Have you ever heard anybody quibble with any of this stuff?
561
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:11.360
I mean, yeah, I would say Turning Point folks would
562
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:15.119
tell you that it's about opening up dialogue.
563
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:16.239
And things, and you know what, here's the thing.
564
00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:19.000
I'll even go with you with that to say, yeah,
565
00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:25.719
it's that, and it's racist and misogynistic and homophobic, right like, yeah,
566
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:27.840
so yeah, you might want to open up dialogue, but
567
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.440
it doesn't change the other thing. So what Yeah, No
568
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:31.199
one's arguing that.
569
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:36.000
No, Yeah, and so Todd Blanche, who is the acting
570
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:39.440
Attorney General and again who you may remember as having
571
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:43.000
lost the court case defending Trump in New York where
572
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:46.000
he was convicted of thirty four criminal charges.
573
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:49.480
Remember he's he does all of the kinds of crime.
574
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:51.840
It's I haac I hack. Yeah.
575
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.840
He announced the indictment April twenty first at a news conference,
576
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:02.480
and he said that the s PLC was not dismantling
577
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:06.639
the extreme extremist groups Blanche sat at the news conference.
578
00:35:06.880 --> 00:35:12.639
It was instead, this is really incredible manufacturing the extremism
579
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:17.800
it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.
580
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:22.679
So so it's like a false flag basically.
581
00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.960
Yeah, kind of in the in the Trump Beasta version
582
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:30.920
of the world. The Klansmen aren't clansmen.
583
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:31.440
They're not.
584
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:32.320
They're not.
585
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:35.280
They weren't gonna like already be in the Klan, and
586
00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:36.239
there were there.
587
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:37.000
Were no plans.
588
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:38.079
They were provoked.
589
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:39.239
Yeah.
590
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:44.679
Yeah, So like a bunch of otherwise decent and definitely
591
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:50.280
not racist guys down in Alabama or wherever we're hanging out,
592
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:55.039
and then the Southern poverty law centers, dangerous Blacks and
593
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:59.320
Jews rolled up, waved some money at them and told them, Hey,
594
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:02.280
wouldn't you guys it's like to go burn across And
595
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:05.320
they were like, but good sir, we have no idea
596
00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:09.119
what across burning would signify, and we certainly don't have
597
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:13.559
any interest in doing that. And the again, in Trump's
598
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:17.519
version of this, the Southern Property Law Center guys were like, oh, well,
599
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:20.320
it means that you hate black folks and you want
600
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:23.840
to scare them into leaving town. And they're like, but
601
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:27.280
good sir, again, we don't. We don't hate the black
602
00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:30.840
folks and the you know. And then the lawyers would
603
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:32.199
be like, all right, well, here, if we give you
604
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.280
fifty bucks, will you hate them? And they were like, sure,
605
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:37.760
for fifty bucks, we'll pretend to hate them, and then saying.
606
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:39.800
The word, you're gonna say the word?
607
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:41.840
Yeah? Yeah, okay, here's twenty five more.
608
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:43.039
Will you say the word now?
609
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:46.760
Yeah? No, no, hard R? All right, ten more, here's
610
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:47.400
hard R.
611
00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:48.920
Say say the word.
612
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:52.039
And then and then we're gonna rend it down and
613
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.360
hand it to the FBI and tell them that you're
614
00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:59.880
the real extremist. Right, is that crazy idea?
615
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:01.800
Crazy? Insane? It's insane.
616
00:37:02.360 --> 00:37:06.199
And and some of the the laws that they're using
617
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:10.039
to charge these Uh, these crimes, first of all, have
618
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:13.280
already passed the Statute of Limitations on the things that
619
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:15.800
that they're alleging, which is funny.
620
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.760
But it also is is like some of these are
621
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:24.320
the anti clan laws, and that's very funny.
622
00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:26.519
It's not funny.
623
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:31.199
Okay, every law that has been used to help black
624
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.360
people or really anybody had to go onto forward. Now
625
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:37.199
this why anybody in this country, which are most laws
626
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:37.960
that help black people?
627
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:40.360
They help everybody else. That's what we're trying to tell everybody.
628
00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:45.199
But all of them now are being reversed like in music,
629
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.079
like it's it's kind of again, it's insidious. That's the
630
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.480
only word that can describe how they're taking laws that
631
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:55.840
again were meant to help black folk and flipping it
632
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:59.800
and saying, no, this is affecting white people.
633
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:06.559
Yeah, the real racism is the anti white racism exactly. Yeah.
634
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.239
If you can't, oh my god, Okay, it's insane. It's
635
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:12.440
in like an type of inception almost. Yeah.
636
00:38:12.480 --> 00:38:14.880
So one of our favorite names is back in this story,
637
00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.119
Natalie Baldassarry Uh bald ass Airy I.
638
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:19.639
Think as well.
639
00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:24.679
Uh yeah, Colin her she's she's back because she's uh,
640
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:29.800
she's a spokes spokes Wench for the DJ and SO
641
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:33.360
spokes Wench bald ass Airy said that the grand jury
642
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:36.039
had indicted the Southern Property Law Center on an eleven
643
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:38.920
counts and that they've only heard a portion of the
644
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:42.559
evidence and that the government remains confident in their case
645
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:43.159
that they've.
646
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:45.039
Got more more to a show.
647
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:48.480
But then if you go further into this, some of
648
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:50.760
the folks who are like, hey, I don't think this
649
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:53.559
is a great case. Again, we're at a point where
650
00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:57.639
it looks like maybe the prosecution was very selective in
651
00:38:57.679 --> 00:39:02.880
what they told the grand jury and excluded exculpatory evidence,
652
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:06.400
so that would be pretty open and shut.
653
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:09.960
How many these grand juries haven't Like usually you can
654
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:12.440
get the grand jury to go like most times, but
655
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:14.440
there are a few cases where the grand jury is
656
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:20.119
like nah, nope, nope, exactly like nope, yeah.
657
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:22.119
There, but this isn't one of them. This is this
658
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.880
is the you can indict a ham sandwich sort of deal.
659
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:28.239
But we'll see how the ham sandwich doesn't court. I'm
660
00:39:28.280 --> 00:39:33.039
gonna bet. I'm just saying that. Like, you've got the
661
00:39:33.119 --> 00:39:36.920
Trump DOJ lawyers, all of which are like stacks of
662
00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:40.559
failures on top of failures that they make Rudy Giuliani
663
00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:46.559
look like alive, I guess, or healthy, but that versus
664
00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:50.239
like good lawyers who who have won in court a
665
00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:51.119
lot of times.
666
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:57.320
So we'll see. Stay tuned. This one's called a of
667
00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:58.079
course they did.
668
00:39:58.559 --> 00:40:05.119
So you may remember, I don't know, a couple months ago,
669
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:10.159
several months ago, that there was a shooting in Minnesota,
670
00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:14.960
in Minneapolis where the Ice agents shot a guy who
671
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:22.119
was outside protesting their arresting of abuelas and children, and
672
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:26.159
they were like, hey, guy who's walking around here, come here,
673
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:28.719
and then they grabbed him, jumped on him and shot
674
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:29.639
him in.
675
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.559
The back like a dozen times.
676
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:37.079
And it was terrifying and scary, and it ultimately cost
677
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:42.840
Greg Bovino his job and contributed heavily to Christy Nome
678
00:40:42.880 --> 00:40:45.960
getting what's the word they use for the horses put
679
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:51.719
out to pasture? There you go where she and Corey
680
00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:55.199
Lewandowski can ribed her husband's balloons.
681
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:57.320
I don't know what's going on. I don't know, man,
682
00:40:57.519 --> 00:41:01.360
that's the whole thing. Right. Are we worried about her,
683
00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:05.360
like for her own insanity or safety? Or do we
684
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:08.320
not care because she's not really a good human? I
685
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:12.119
think she she'll be fine, She'll be fine. Good answer.
686
00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:17.159
So, okay, so that happened, right, And the guy who
687
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:21.119
got shot his name was Alex pretty and as it
688
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:26.960
turns out, he was a nurse in the Veterans Affairs
689
00:41:27.320 --> 00:41:31.280
in the VA and pretty well regarded.
690
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:31.800
One, I should say.
691
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:35.800
Yeah, And so a lot of people who might not
692
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:39.159
have had any interest in any of what Alex was protesting,
693
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:43.559
or the immigration stuff or ice or anything like that, right,
694
00:41:43.800 --> 00:41:50.199
we're justifiably unnerved, sad, shaken, whatever you want to.
695
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:53.199
Call it, Like you kill him, Like it's one of
696
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:56.840
those like yeah, yeah, it's like, oh oh you okay.
697
00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.559
Now, what people might not know if you have an
698
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:02.639
experience it is that the VA is a massive organization
699
00:42:03.079 --> 00:42:07.079
and the Trump administration is already they fired like thirty
700
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:11.159
thousand people from the VA. That's just from the VA,
701
00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:14.719
and it's like a tenth of their workforce.
702
00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:15.159
I don't know.
703
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:18.960
There are just an absolutely giant agency next to DoD.
704
00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:21.559
I think they're the second largest agency.
705
00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:25.199
And the government again rough reports on here somewhere like
706
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:28.440
forty thousand at one point five.
707
00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:31.599
Yeah, So there's a lot of people who work there
708
00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:36.440
and their primary job is to care for veterans. And
709
00:42:36.519 --> 00:42:38.039
one of the ways that they do that is with
710
00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:42.280
the VA hospital system, which there's mixed opinions about, but
711
00:42:42.559 --> 00:42:47.039
generally speaking does a pretty good job of taking care
712
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:50.079
of veterans in various ways. And part of that is
713
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:53.800
due in no small part to the staff there, to
714
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:57.159
the nurses and doctors and practitioners who work.
715
00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.960
Clear to your point earlier, they lost to forty thousand
716
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:01.360
people there.
717
00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:04.800
You go, yeah, I think that almost like half a
718
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:09.559
million people work there. Yeah, so it's a lot so
719
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:17.360
around the country v a Field hospitals, groups, whatever, local
720
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:20.480
offices again of which there are really a lot of
721
00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:26.079
hundreds of throughout the country. They held vigils and like
722
00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:29.280
you know, meetings or I don't know what to call it,
723
00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:34.400
but like gatherings right where people could come together memorial yeah, yeah,
724
00:43:34.480 --> 00:43:39.000
to memorialize alex pretty and and to you know, sort
725
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:41.400
of grieve, right because one of their own had been
726
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:44.239
killed unnecessarily.
727
00:43:43.920 --> 00:43:46.760
In much the way that people hold vigils.
728
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:50.639
Like let's say a priest was killed in Saint Louis, right,
729
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:51.320
and then like.
730
00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:54.199
Churches all over the country hold a vigil.
731
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:58.119
They're not connected to that particular priest, but they share
732
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:02.679
something in common and whatever, okay? Or the way you see,
733
00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:05.199
uh vigil used to see vigils for school shootings, but
734
00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:06.599
now those are just like.
735
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:09.320
Normal Friday night lights.
736
00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:16.760
But anyway, so guess what happened with these VA vigils
737
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:19.079
and and grieving sessions there?
738
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:20.400
Tez, what do you think happened?
739
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:21.559
The police showed up?
740
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:23.119
Uh?
741
00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:23.960
Not quite?
742
00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:30.360
Not quite. They didn't get arrested. What could have happened?
743
00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:36.840
M did they get hold on I don't I'm not
744
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:38.360
sure what they don't tell me.
745
00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:40.159
They got sued by any chance that they know.
746
00:44:40.239 --> 00:44:42.960
They got collected up on a list and investigated by
747
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:45.679
the v A and d o J.
748
00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:51.920
So basically, what happened was this person Becky? Uh?
749
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:57.760
How hall Yowa? I guess Becky? Here, Becky learned that
750
00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:01.679
she was under investigation by the same government that had
751
00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:07.000
shot Alex Preddi. Her supervisor informed her that an internal
752
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:10.800
probe had been launched into whether she violated agency rules
753
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:14.159
regarding employee interviews with the news media, probe that could
754
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:18.280
result in disciplin disciplinary action. Becky was not alone, Several
755
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:21.199
sources familiar with the matter told CNN at least three
756
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:24.760
other VIA employees have been investigated for their interactions with
757
00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:28.079
the press, including at least one other related to Alex Preddy,
758
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:32.039
according to one of the sources. As part of their investigation,
759
00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:37.760
Becky said, investigators emailed her photos of herself at the
760
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:42.840
vigil from the news, which also included how that interaction
761
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:46.679
with the local newspaper. So basically what happened was the
762
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:51.960
vigils took place, the government counted everybody that was there,
763
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.559
whether they saw him on local TV or they figured
764
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:57.199
it out through social media or anything else, put them
765
00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.280
all on a list, and then initiated a retaliate Tory
766
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:04.960
investigation looking for criminal charges against these people who were
767
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:12.320
doing something that is constitutionally protected. Then when we say
768
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:16.000
this is a police state, that's what we're talking about
769
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:20.599
right where what Becky and her friends were doing is
770
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:26.000
not only perfectly legal, but expressly protected by the US
771
00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.679
Constitution and the Trump.
772
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:29.920
I might say, encouraged.
773
00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:32.719
Encouraged by the US Constitution.
774
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:36.480
Yeah, it is one of the things that the colonists
775
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:40.559
fought the war for the right to peaceably assemble and
776
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:44.880
seek petition the government for a redress of their grievances.
777
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:46.440
That was the whole point.
778
00:46:46.760 --> 00:46:49.400
Hey, we've got grievances, and the King was like, fuck
779
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:52.000
your grievances, and we're like, no, no, we're not even
780
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:52.880
like burning stuff.
781
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:54.320
We just want to like talk about this.
782
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:56.480
And the King was like, oh, fuck you and you're
783
00:46:56.519 --> 00:46:58.400
talking about and then we're like, all right, well, I guess.
784
00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:01.320
We are going to burn stuff. Burn stuff. That's it.
785
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:06.800
Tea party, okay, like that. That's what they were doing.
786
00:47:07.639 --> 00:47:10.320
And this is the retaliation when we say we're in
787
00:47:10.360 --> 00:47:13.559
a police state. What you're seeing here, and this is
788
00:47:13.679 --> 00:47:16.159
just one story. This is just the second of our
789
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:19.480
three stories, four stories that we have on this. This
790
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:27.960
is the federal government using its investigation and prosecution capabilities
791
00:47:28.440 --> 00:47:33.159
to attack their critics who have not actually done anything
792
00:47:33.239 --> 00:47:37.679
illegal and have done things that are expressly protected. They
793
00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:42.159
are especially protected for a reason. What used to happen, right,
794
00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:45.719
Why do we have this first amendment is because when
795
00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:48.840
people would say, hey, man, I'd like to fix this,
796
00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:52.000
the response from the government would be, Okay, I'm gonna
797
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:53.440
throw you in jail for saying anything.
798
00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:56.760
And in this case, we were like, no, that shouldn't
799
00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:57.159
be it.
800
00:47:57.400 --> 00:47:59.639
People should be allowed to say things no matter what
801
00:48:00.000 --> 00:48:01.519
song as they're not harming anybody.
802
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:03.960
These people were definitely not harming anybody.
803
00:48:04.199 --> 00:48:08.639
They were hanging out talking to the local news, and
804
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:12.000
instead now they're being investigated and prosecuted.
805
00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:13.880
Via press Secretary.
806
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:18.079
Quinn Slaven said he couldnot it's also a great name.
807
00:48:18.199 --> 00:48:22.679
Quinn Slaven said he could not comment on Becky's case,
808
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:24.000
citing privacy concerns.
809
00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:28.960
Oh now we care about privacy. Interesting, here's the quote.
810
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:29.239
Ready.
811
00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:34.000
Privacy laws prevent VA from publicly discussing specific details about
812
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.960
its employees within without their written consent, he said in
813
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:41.280
a written statement. He did not address more general questions
814
00:48:41.320 --> 00:48:45.320
about the VA's media relations policy and how often it
815
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:50.400
conducts these type of investigations. Federal agencies typically have rules
816
00:48:50.440 --> 00:48:54.920
that limit employees from talking about their government role or
817
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:58.920
department in media interviews, while allowing them to speak in
818
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:03.840
a personal capacity. In some cases, Trump administration officials have
819
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:07.400
taken a hard line against federal employees talking with reporters
820
00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:12.519
at all in what they call leaks. If they if
821
00:49:12.519 --> 00:49:15.920
the reporter goes, why are you here tonight and Becky goes, well,
822
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.280
it's because you know, one of my coworkers was shot
823
00:49:20.320 --> 00:49:23.480
and killed and I feel sad about that.
824
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:24.519
That's not a leak.
825
00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:29.360
That's that's the thing we all saw live on television.
826
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:31.360
There's no leak. There shouldn't be like.
827
00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:34.960
Yeah, I'm here because the password to our file room
828
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:36.800
is one two, three four five, and I think that
829
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:39.800
should be changed to something a lot more secure or
830
00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:44.239
something like it. No, that was that would be that's prosecutable.
831
00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:48.079
That's definitely not a thing you should do. No, that's
832
00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:52.920
not good. So, uh, you know when you hear like
833
00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:57.119
reporters go to some place and they go, yeah, we're
834
00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:59.800
only using their first initial because they fear.
835
00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:02.480
Retality by the government, and you're like, wow, that must.
836
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:04.239
Be a pretty scary place where you have to like
837
00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:07.599
hide who you are just to say anything.
838
00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:10.880
Right, you live there now, that's your home.
839
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:15.039
Yeah, yeah, no First Amendment.
840
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:19.760
I guess let's focus a little more locally, shall we.
841
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:24.119
Okay, So I live in the Commonwealth, as you know,
842
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:28.679
and we've done some things here in the Commonwealth recently,
843
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.559
one of which was like, reject this dumb idea to
844
00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:35.880
move the caps to Alexandria that was not gonna go
845
00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:41.360
very well. Spearheaded by former Governor Glenn Younkin, who is
846
00:50:41.400 --> 00:50:47.840
a big Trump fan supporter. Friend, I guess although he
847
00:50:47.840 --> 00:50:51.199
claimed that he was not, but he definitely was. And
848
00:50:51.239 --> 00:50:57.000
then like you know, there was this redistricting thing that
849
00:50:57.159 --> 00:51:01.320
just passed. There's been some other kind of big deal
850
00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:06.360
stuff that happens in the Commonwealth regarding civil rights and
851
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:10.960
like voting access and gun violence prevention and all of
852
00:51:11.000 --> 00:51:15.280
this stuff. Well, there's somebody. There's many people, but there's
853
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:18.000
somebody who's kind of like the spearhead of a lot
854
00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:22.800
of that stuff, right, And her name is Louise Lucas.
855
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:27.159
She is a state senator from Portsmouth, Virginia, which is
856
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:31.480
down in the Tidewater. She is the Senate pro tem
857
00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:34.320
actually of the Virginia State Senate.
858
00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:37.280
And she is a firecracker of a lady.
859
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:41.000
Let me tell you, she does not hold her tongue
860
00:51:41.079 --> 00:51:47.480
on anything, especially on Twitter, where she will routinely drag
861
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:52.280
and outright challenge Trump pistas for all kinds of stuff.
862
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:58.199
And that's that's apparently that's a big that's a big
863
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:00.360
problem for the Trump people.
864
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:01.920
She's also eighty two years old.
865
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:04.000
I would point out so again to the to the
866
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:07.880
idea of like age limits. I just wanted to point
867
00:52:07.880 --> 00:52:10.719
that out that that might be a thing.
868
00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:16.679
But anyway, yeah, she, uh, what happened to her test,
869
00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:20.400
didn't it? This is the cannabis dispensary, right.
870
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:24.480
Yeah, she has a candid she does own a cannabis dispensary.
871
00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:28.119
They did they, I mean FBI, the FBI did something right,
872
00:52:28.159 --> 00:52:30.840
didn't they did? They not raid the offices of this
873
00:52:31.400 --> 00:52:31.880
is that the right?
874
00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:35.800
But they raided her office house and cannabis retail business.
875
00:52:35.840 --> 00:52:39.199
Yes, yep, yep. They smashed it up and to call
876
00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:39.760
her stuff.
877
00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:41.960
Uh. Specifics on the.
878
00:52:41.920 --> 00:52:44.920
Probe what they're after unclear.
879
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:48.719
Officials who spoke on condition of anonymity, Ah, there you go,
880
00:52:49.360 --> 00:52:52.519
uh to discuss details of the investigation. That's what we
881
00:52:52.599 --> 00:52:57.159
call a leak, said it involved allegations of bribery related
882
00:52:57.159 --> 00:53:00.079
to the cannabis dispensary. One of those officials said the
883
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:04.119
investigation began during the Biden administration. What do you want
884
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:09.599
to bet it didn't. That's that's like it Yeah, incredibly
885
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:12.920
common thing that they say when they're like, look, we're.
886
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:14.920
Just following the law. And it started under the BIDO
887
00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:15.800
mis No it did.
888
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:20.599
A spokesperson for the FBI's Norfolk Field office declined to comment,
889
00:53:20.719 --> 00:53:23.960
except to say that agents were conducting quote, court authorized
890
00:53:24.039 --> 00:53:27.519
law enforcement activity. And that there was no threat to
891
00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:28.320
public safety.
892
00:53:29.320 --> 00:53:32.480
Means they got a warrant, which which is a I mean,
893
00:53:32.519 --> 00:53:34.280
that's a big step for them.
894
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:35.880
Yeah, they usually don't get those.
895
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:37.199
They don't usually go that far.
896
00:53:38.599 --> 00:53:43.320
But what's really going on here? What are they really doing?
897
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:45.719
Why are they really going after Louise Lucas?
898
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:53.400
She's black, yes, and she's a woman. And what's that
899
00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:54.320
third one? There?
900
00:53:55.199 --> 00:53:57.320
Did she She's I'm shooting. She's went at the she
901
00:53:57.400 --> 00:53:59.519
because she goes at the president, right, that's.
902
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:02.360
Yeah, she's Yeah.
903
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:06.519
So it's all of these things that they they don't like,
904
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:10.599
and so they are like, that's it, we're going after.
905
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:17.639
They're like, get the black one. It's it's not good.
906
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:20.840
And it's clear, it's clear as day. What's happening here?
907
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:21.239
Right?
908
00:54:21.519 --> 00:54:22.559
These are this is not.
909
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:28.679
Here's a tweet that she she wrote back in September
910
00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:32.679
of twenty twenty four. Ready Donald Trump has shipped for
911
00:54:32.800 --> 00:54:36.119
brains and it oozes out of his mouth. After last night,
912
00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:40.159
everyone knows there you go. That was like after one
913
00:54:40.199 --> 00:54:44.440
of the debates, Nate debate. Yeah, I mean she just
914
00:54:44.760 --> 00:54:50.000
had like good but also not good.
915
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:58.000
Not good to you. What's actually happening? What what can
916
00:54:58.039 --> 00:55:03.360
we say here her specifically or all these stores? Well
917
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:06.480
about this story, because we got another one that's want more.
918
00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:13.280
I was like, I mean, actually, if we go through
919
00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:16.519
the I have a more larger thought on all of them.
920
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:18.239
You want to get all all together.
921
00:55:20.320 --> 00:55:23.920
Okay, let's add one more story to this, which is
922
00:55:23.960 --> 00:55:27.719
even more hyper local. So there's the Commonwealth, right, and
923
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.400
then within the Commonwealth, of course, we have counties, and
924
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:35.559
the county biggest county in the DC area on on
925
00:55:35.639 --> 00:55:39.599
the Virginia side is of course Fairfax and Fairfax we
926
00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:44.679
have a Commonwealth's Attorney, right, just like every every so
927
00:55:44.880 --> 00:55:48.079
in other places you have a district attorney. In Virginia
928
00:55:48.119 --> 00:55:53.199
you have the Commonwealth's attorney. They're the like top law enforcement,
929
00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:59.400
they're the top prosecutor within within a county. Right in Fairfax,
930
00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:03.679
we have this called Steve Descano, who I met actually
931
00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:05.000
when I was.
932
00:56:05.039 --> 00:56:05.920
Voting for him.
933
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:09.320
I don't know, two cycles ago or two yeah, two
934
00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:13.800
of our cycles. He's been re elected once as Virginia
935
00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:19.199
as a commonnealst attorney in County Fairfax. He's buy and
936
00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:21.400
large done a pretty good job. I don't think there's
937
00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:24.440
a lot of people who would say otherwise, at least
938
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:28.320
amongst the residents. But there is some criticism about him
939
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:32.199
that he's what the Republicans like to call week on crime,
940
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:35.719
which means that he doesn't indiscriminately throw non white people
941
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:40.000
in jail, and he does like to use programs to
942
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:45.079
try to route people out of jail and through you know,
943
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:48.559
systems and programs that are maybe less harsh but also
944
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:52.159
have outcomes that are more beneficial to the community.
945
00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:52.199
As a whole.
946
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:55.880
One of these comes around like the Pope, right, yeah, exactly,
947
00:56:55.920 --> 00:56:57.360
he's soft on crime, like the Pope.
948
00:56:57.559 --> 00:56:58.840
One of the things that we know.
949
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:05.639
Is, uh, it is true, is that warehousing people in
950
00:57:06.360 --> 00:57:10.920
criminal justice system doesn't really help anybody. It's expensive, it's
951
00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:15.760
all get out, and it produces no positive outcomes for
952
00:57:15.920 --> 00:57:18.360
anybody on any side of the equation, whether it's the
953
00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:21.679
victims of the community, anybody.
954
00:57:21.760 --> 00:57:24.800
And not this administration, but the last Trump administration, even
955
00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:27.880
though they repackaged in Obama bill, they passed one of
956
00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:31.719
these laws like they passed, they understand that as well.
957
00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:34.159
At least I think when it comes to locking up
958
00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:35.800
black people, and I think they want I think they
959
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:36.559
figured that piece.
960
00:57:36.559 --> 00:57:38.280
They're like, we were housed you enough. Now we're going
961
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:38.719
to wear.
962
00:57:38.559 --> 00:57:41.000
House these immigrants, but we'll still wear house you too,
963
00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:41.719
just in case.
964
00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:42.000
You know.
965
00:57:42.719 --> 00:57:45.679
Yeah, yeah, but they learned this important thing is that
966
00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:50.039
white people buy a lot of weed too, and so yes, yeah,
967
00:57:50.079 --> 00:57:52.599
and they're like, well, we got to stop locking up
968
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:56.320
all the dealers because the white guys are mad that
969
00:57:56.360 --> 00:58:02.239
they can't get their their stuff or whatever. So so okay.
970
00:58:03.360 --> 00:58:09.639
So Discano basically has run on a platform and has won,
971
00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:13.320
i should say twice, on a platform of diverting things
972
00:58:13.400 --> 00:58:17.960
out of the prison system or the jail system and
973
00:58:18.159 --> 00:58:25.760
into rehabilitation systems county wide. And you can think of
974
00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:28.400
these things as like, Okay, what has the most benefit
975
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:32.239
to the community as a whole. Is it really to
976
00:58:32.280 --> 00:58:34.920
the community's benefit to just punish the shit out of
977
00:58:34.920 --> 00:58:37.599
somebody for what they've done, or is it to their
978
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:39.920
benefit to rehabilitate that person so they can go back
979
00:58:39.960 --> 00:58:44.440
to working and being useful and paying taxes. And so
980
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:49.280
it's the second one, right, So the Justice Department hates that,
981
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:51.679
of course. So the Justice Department announced Wednesday they has
982
00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:58.159
launched an investigation into the democratic prosecutor of Virginia's largest
983
00:58:58.199 --> 00:59:02.800
county following years of plants from conservatives that his office
984
00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:06.719
is too lenient with criminal defendants, defendants who are in
985
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:07.880
the country illegally.
986
00:59:08.679 --> 00:59:11.719
Harmat Dylan harmiat k Dillon.
987
00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:16.639
I don't know what that spelling indicates, but I guarantee
988
00:59:16.639 --> 00:59:22.079
it ain't good old American. An Assistant Attorney General and
989
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:25.760
this is my favorite part head of the Justice Department's
990
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:29.559
Civil Rights Division, said it at a news release that
991
00:59:29.639 --> 00:59:33.760
her office sense sent Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Discana
992
00:59:33.840 --> 00:59:40.639
a letter notifying him of the investigation. In a statement,
993
00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:44.559
Diskanda acknowledged receiving the letter, but defended his policies. He said,
994
00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:46.679
my policies are fair, legal and reflect the values of
995
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:50.440
the community. Didn't really have much else to say about that.
996
00:59:50.519 --> 00:59:54.679
He was kind of like, Okay, sure, yeah, I mean,
997
00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:56.599
what's the investigation. What are they going to find?
998
00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:58.440
Now? What are they going to manufacture?
999
00:59:58.480 --> 01:00:02.079
Is a different question, But what could they If he'd
1000
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:06.199
have been doing anything illegal, I guarantee somebody would have
1001
01:00:06.239 --> 01:00:08.719
said something about it and it would have come up
1002
01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:11.679
in the last election because somebody would have wanted an
1003
01:00:11.719 --> 01:00:17.159
opportunity to smear him and take his job. But it
1004
01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:21.800
didn't happen that way. Probably because there's nothing there. The
1005
01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:25.760
Justice Department in investigation into Discano is focused on whether
1006
01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:31.719
his policies are skewed to allow immigrant defendants to avoid deportation,
1007
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:37.239
which again we're talking about stretching the meaning of civil rights.
1008
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:38.960
Just listen to this sentence.
1009
01:00:39.719 --> 01:00:44.280
Whether his policies are skewed to allow immigrant defendants to
1010
01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:49.199
avoid deportation, which the Department said may have discriminated against
1011
01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:54.079
US citizens in violation of the Civil Rights Act because
1012
01:00:54.119 --> 01:01:00.960
he didn't give American citizens the same opportunity to avoid
1013
01:01:01.079 --> 01:01:03.559
getting deported. I don't I don't know what.
1014
01:01:03.960 --> 01:01:05.679
I'm trying to follow along and I'm lost.
1015
01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:12.840
Yeah, I really don't understand. I mean, this is that
1016
01:01:12.840 --> 01:01:15.039
that thing where they're turning civil rights inside out?
1017
01:01:15.079 --> 01:01:16.199
Right? That like that's what?
1018
01:01:16.320 --> 01:01:26.400
Yeah, because he didn't have the Mexican shoplifter deported, that's
1019
01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:30.280
unfair to the white shoplifter who.
1020
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:33.400
Got also convicted of the same thing.
1021
01:01:33.639 --> 01:01:35.880
I don't know. I don't know.
1022
01:01:38.559 --> 01:01:40.440
How come if the white the white people are like,
1023
01:01:40.480 --> 01:01:42.079
how come we're not getting special treatment?
1024
01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:47.360
You are, You're you have all systems for you.
1025
01:01:47.480 --> 01:01:51.239
Yeah, it's like remember when you walked down the street
1026
01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:53.639
and nobody pulled you over for walking.
1027
01:01:54.559 --> 01:02:01.119
H there is that, right? Why are you not pulling
1028
01:02:01.159 --> 01:02:03.119
over the Mexican guy for walking?
1029
01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:09.079
I'm understood. I'm struggling to find a civil rights aspect here.
1030
01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:13.760
I'm struggling to see where this case gets made. But yeah,
1031
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:18.639
so those are just four examples in the recent like
1032
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:26.840
in this week, of the government using its prosecution and
1033
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:32.760
investigation powers to target and attempt to silence, either through
1034
01:02:32.760 --> 01:02:37.960
intimidation or outright throwing in jail its opponents. And that
1035
01:02:38.559 --> 01:02:41.599
is called a police state. All right, Tez explain.
1036
01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:43.760
I mean, and it's a couple of things. Right.
1037
01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:45.880
If you think of Lucas, right, what's the biggest thing?
1038
01:02:46.119 --> 01:02:52.119
I frustrated because right, she starts this redistricting thing right
1039
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:53.079
with him, and then.
1040
01:02:53.559 --> 01:02:55.679
Again all of you you'll see the theme. And then
1041
01:02:55.679 --> 01:03:01.360
she's also against the data centers, right, tax exempts, right,
1042
01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:03.079
so right.
1043
01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:06.960
That plays into like his whole deregulation and AI and
1044
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:10.119
obviously the redistricting, even though it was started by Republicans,
1045
01:03:10.159 --> 01:03:12.639
he's probably angry that Democrats decided to do it back,
1046
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:13.239
all right, cool?
1047
01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:18.320
This last one, right is.
1048
01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:25.360
Again that there's a discrimination against white people in a sense, right,
1049
01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:28.119
I mean in a weird way right, And the last
1050
01:03:28.119 --> 01:03:30.519
one there for Discano is like, all right, white people
1051
01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:34.639
are being discriminated against a big theme for the Trump administration.
1052
01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:38.679
The first one, right, the first one we talked about
1053
01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:43.119
again and we did a wild funny way of explaining it.
1054
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:47.800
But what they're accusing the Southern poverty laws that they
1055
01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:51.280
are doing is sending agitators in here to rile up
1056
01:03:51.800 --> 01:03:54.360
good old white people who not have no racist vone
1057
01:03:54.360 --> 01:03:54.880
in their body.
1058
01:03:55.119 --> 01:04:00.119
But if best being paid like so again, that's another of.
1059
01:04:00.159 --> 01:04:03.760
The manufactured extremism.
1060
01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:08.880
Manufactured extremism crazy idea I think in and right with
1061
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:11.519
the other obviously, the other one with Alex Preddy and
1062
01:04:11.559 --> 01:04:16.920
like again, surveillance happening and investigations happening against VA employees,
1063
01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:19.760
the five that are left or the five hundred that
1064
01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:23.199
were left. The I think for me, one thing that's
1065
01:04:23.239 --> 01:04:28.800
interesting is that Blanche is doing the complete opposite of
1066
01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:30.159
what Blondie did.
1067
01:04:30.559 --> 01:04:32.760
Actually, I'm gonna start calling him Bleach and Blondie.
1068
01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:36.039
All right, Bleach is doing the exact opposite of what
1069
01:04:36.119 --> 01:04:42.480
Blondie is doing. Bleach is out here doing the exact
1070
01:04:42.480 --> 01:04:47.000
thing Trumpet asked for right going in and actually starting
1071
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:49.760
to follow these cases. I think what's unique though here,
1072
01:04:50.079 --> 01:04:51.800
and I mean the Komy one is a big is
1073
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:52.599
the big one? Right?
1074
01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:54.599
Oh yeah, the Kombe is the big one.
1075
01:04:54.639 --> 01:04:57.760
But I think he's trying to put enough of these
1076
01:04:57.880 --> 01:05:02.079
out here early that because I don't see this to continue,
1077
01:05:02.239 --> 01:05:04.000
because all of these are gonna fail in court.
1078
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:06.960
They're all gonna fail. They're all gonna fail in court.
1079
01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:11.440
But I think it's enough to run up like now
1080
01:05:11.480 --> 01:05:15.360
and to keep the ire of Trump off of him,
1081
01:05:15.440 --> 01:05:18.480
because I think that was his frustration with with Blondie
1082
01:05:18.519 --> 01:05:21.360
was that she wasn't actually filing these.
1083
01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:22.960
I mean, maybe she did too. Maybe I'm trying to.
1084
01:05:23.039 --> 01:05:25.519
I'm thinking of the ones that she actually she pushed.
1085
01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:32.519
She did the ones that they for Tomy and and
1086
01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:35.880
Tis James, and then.
1087
01:05:36.880 --> 01:05:40.119
At least the cocaine yeah again, all the ones that failed.
1088
01:05:41.719 --> 01:05:43.320
But this does seem.
1089
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:46.480
That, like, uh, Todd Bleach is on, like, I need
1090
01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:49.800
to put as many of these out here fast so
1091
01:05:49.920 --> 01:05:52.639
that the president feels like I'm actually doing his bidding.
1092
01:05:53.199 --> 01:05:55.559
You don't think he actually cares, He's just trying to
1093
01:05:55.559 --> 01:05:58.280
get the job. Yeah, push a couple of these out there.
1094
01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:00.679
Yeah, I mean, I just don't know how he gets
1095
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:02.440
a job, because how does he get confirmed?
1096
01:06:03.400 --> 01:06:06.639
You can, yeah, I mean they already don't seem to
1097
01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:09.719
care about that. They'll just use these acting or interim
1098
01:06:10.480 --> 01:06:13.800
roles and then challenge anybody to go to court to
1099
01:06:13.880 --> 01:06:18.119
take them out. But I think it's I think you're
1100
01:06:18.199 --> 01:06:20.199
right in terms of what he's doing for his own
1101
01:06:20.199 --> 01:06:22.000
personal I think there's also a bit of a flood
1102
01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:24.960
the zone aspect to this too, that if they can
1103
01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:28.639
file enough of these cases, even if they all get beat,
1104
01:06:28.840 --> 01:06:32.800
every single one of them, the memory of Americans is
1105
01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:35.800
is pretty lousy when it comes to this kind of stuff,
1106
01:06:35.800 --> 01:06:37.280
and they'll be able to just say, look at all
1107
01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:38.199
these people.
1108
01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:41.639
You know who have been charged with all these government
1109
01:06:41.760 --> 01:06:43.559
dashboard that people can go to or something.
1110
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:46.800
Yeah, yeah, look at all these these these people, and
1111
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:52.199
and like there is a false equivalency between charged and
1112
01:06:52.239 --> 01:06:58.920
guilty in this country people. Yeah, because generally speaking, prosecutors
1113
01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:02.119
don't bring cases they don't think they're gonna win, right.
1114
01:07:02.400 --> 01:07:06.679
They they only bring slam dunks because losses hurt their records,
1115
01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:13.239
and so a lot of the time, charge means convicted.
1116
01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:16.199
And you can say that's the symptom of an unfair
1117
01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:19.400
justice system, which definitely is, but you could also say
1118
01:07:19.440 --> 01:07:20.559
that that is kind of.
1119
01:07:22.639 --> 01:07:23.639
The selective.
1120
01:07:25.440 --> 01:07:26.960
I don't know how to all right.
1121
01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:28.280
You know, when you go to the beach and you
1122
01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:31.559
see the claw game right at the all the arcades
1123
01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:34.320
on the boardwalk, right, those things you're not gonna win.
1124
01:07:34.360 --> 01:07:35.639
You're almost never gonna win.
1125
01:07:36.199 --> 01:07:38.960
The only time to play is when you can see
1126
01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:42.079
that you're gonna win. And and so if you're somebody
1127
01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:44.679
like me and I only play when I can see
1128
01:07:44.719 --> 01:07:48.199
an easy solution where I'm gonna win, you'll look like like,
1129
01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:50.559
oh man, that guy's really good at the claw game.
1130
01:07:50.760 --> 01:07:52.719
I'm not really good at the claw game. I just
1131
01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:56.679
know when to not play. Prosecutors are like that. They're
1132
01:07:56.679 --> 01:08:00.239
not necessarily great at nailing cases. They just know which
1133
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:05.400
ones not to take. These are all examples of cases
1134
01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:08.559
that they should not take because they are not likely
1135
01:08:08.639 --> 01:08:09.039
to win.
1136
01:08:10.039 --> 01:08:15.920
So why are they doing this? It's not I mean again,
1137
01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:18.920
I don't think it's about winning. I think it's enough
1138
01:08:18.960 --> 01:08:22.119
about bringing the case, at least for Donald Trump.
1139
01:08:22.520 --> 01:08:25.279
I think also because they don't care that they don't
1140
01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:28.079
see a career after this, right, they're gonna move from
1141
01:08:28.119 --> 01:08:31.800
being prosecutors to doing something else that's more political hack
1142
01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:33.680
than actual prosecution.
1143
01:08:34.159 --> 01:08:36.319
They're not gonna run from the news contributor.
1144
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:39.239
Yeah exactly, So it doesn't matter that they get their
1145
01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:43.159
bar card burned or whatever, because they're just not gonna
1146
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:43.960
use it again.
1147
01:08:45.159 --> 01:08:46.199
I think, I don't know.
1148
01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:51.279
It just doesn't seem like like a winning strategy, but
1149
01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:56.000
it does seem like what we're talking about this is
1150
01:08:56.039 --> 01:08:57.880
an intimidation campaign.
1151
01:08:58.239 --> 01:08:59.640
Yeah, this is to.
1152
01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:02.640
Try to get people like us to think, oh, well,
1153
01:09:02.920 --> 01:09:06.600
they rated Louise Lucas's house, They're probably gonna raid mind
1154
01:09:06.680 --> 01:09:09.199
if I say all these things. So to be clear,
1155
01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:15.680
Donald Trump is a criminal. He has been to Epstein's Island,
1156
01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:19.359
however many times he's flown on the airplane. What he's
1157
01:09:19.399 --> 01:09:23.600
doing over there is, you know, anybody's guest cash Ptel's
1158
01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:28.119
a drunk idiot who hands out bourbon instead of business cards,
1159
01:09:28.159 --> 01:09:30.479
which I'm pissed off that we didn't get any of.
1160
01:09:31.079 --> 01:09:36.239
And like, come at me, bro, let's see it.
1161
01:09:37.439 --> 01:09:38.720
What else can we do here?
1162
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:42.119
Right? The democracy is over when this is one of
1163
01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:44.680
the options, So right exactly, that's a good point there.
1164
01:09:44.760 --> 01:09:48.039
Yeah, yeah, okay, cool, here's what we're gonna do we're
1165
01:09:48.039 --> 01:09:50.159
gonna take a break, try to recover some democracy, and
1166
01:09:50.199 --> 01:09:52.119
then we're gonna come back and talk about the war
1167
01:09:52.600 --> 01:09:53.800
or the journey.
1168
01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:55.960
Or skirmish or excursion or.
1169
01:09:56.000 --> 01:09:59.119
Mini war or whatever he's calling it this hour. It's
1170
01:09:59.199 --> 01:10:02.359
really great. Uh So, yeah, stay tuned. You listening to
1171
01:10:02.479 --> 01:10:05.359

01:13:29.600 --> 01:13:33.039
a false flag operation and didn't actually happen. So below,

I'm very excited to see what they do there there
1231
01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:56.479
you go. All right, So now the our consciences are clean,
1232
01:13:56.600 --> 01:14:00.479
let's talk about a war. Now it's dirty enough, yep.
1233
01:14:00.720 --> 01:14:04.239
Uh. So before we get to the actual stories, let's
1234
01:14:04.319 --> 01:14:06.760
let me just catch everybody up on the latest, which
1235
01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:09.319
includes some of the dumbest fucking things the president has
1236
01:14:09.319 --> 01:14:14.520
said yet. So basically, US forces on Thursday launched a
1237
01:14:14.560 --> 01:14:17.880
new round of military strikes on Iran in response to
1238
01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:21.920
attacks on American warships. Officials said, casting fresh dout on
1239
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:26.399
efforts by Washington and Tehran to reach a negotiated settlement
1240
01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:30.960
that would end hostilities, which as of earlier today, Trump
1241
01:14:31.039 --> 01:14:37.439
had a one page notice of memorandum of intent.
1242
01:14:37.720 --> 01:14:41.279
Not amandum of intent is great, I mean, what are
1243
01:14:41.279 --> 01:14:42.159
we talking about here?
1244
01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:45.560
The self defense strikes, as they were called by they
1245
01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:51.680
sent comm came after destroyers, all of which have great names,
1246
01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:55.119
the Truxton, the Raphael Peralta.
1247
01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:57.000
And the USS Mason. That's not that great a name.
1248
01:14:57.319 --> 01:15:01.399
We're attacked with multiple missiles, drones, and small boats. According
1249
01:15:01.399 --> 01:15:04.399
to sent Coom, no American vessels were hit. The statement
1250
01:15:04.479 --> 01:15:09.479
said US forces responded by striking Iranian military facilities deemed responsible.
1251
01:15:10.079 --> 01:15:14.279
They included missile and drone launch sites, command and control locations,
1252
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:18.319
and positions from which Iranian forces were surveilling US forces
1253
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:20.760
and gathering intelligence. You mean the guys on the shore
1254
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:25.279
with the binoculars. Sent Coom does not seek escalation, but
1255
01:15:25.399 --> 01:15:29.279
remains positioned and ready to protect American forces. The statement said,
1256
01:15:30.479 --> 01:15:35.399
wait to say nothing. In its own statement, the IRGC
1257
01:15:35.520 --> 01:15:39.000
Navy said that it had launched an operation against three
1258
01:15:39.079 --> 01:15:43.439
US destroyers in retaliation for two quote provocative actions by
1259
01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:46.640
the US military. The first, statement said was the US
1260
01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:49.960
attack on Iranian oil tanker the day before. That's about
1261
01:15:50.079 --> 01:15:52.880
enforcing the blockade. US was like, hey, you can't be
1262
01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:55.600
here ship, and it was like make me, and so
1263
01:15:55.680 --> 01:15:58.319
they shot its rudder out and that was to make me.
1264
01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:00.880
And yeah.
1265
01:16:01.000 --> 01:16:04.479
The second was the destroyer's approach toward the straight of
1266
01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:09.000
Horror Mouves despite clear warnings. Iranian forces responded with a
1267
01:16:09.199 --> 01:16:13.800
quote highly extensive and precise combined operation.
1268
01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:18.199
That does not make sense. Those are not words that
1269
01:16:18.239 --> 01:16:18.840
are useful.
1270
01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:22.800
The statement said it involved a variety of weaponry, including
1271
01:16:22.880 --> 01:16:28.039
anti ship ballistic missiles, anti ship cruise missiles. Here's where
1272
01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:32.000
it gets very stupid. Trump, in a social media post,
1273
01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:34.880
said that quote there was no damage done to the
1274
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:39.079
three destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers.
1275
01:16:39.640 --> 01:16:43.760
He added quote that numerous small boats were sunk by
1276
01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:47.760
US forces in Iranian missiles launched at the destroyers were
1277
01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:52.640
quote easily knocked down. They dropped, ever so beautifully down
1278
01:16:52.680 --> 01:16:56.439
to the ocean. Trump said, very much like a butterfly
1279
01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:04.000
dropping to its grave. No nobody talks like that.
1280
01:17:05.159 --> 01:17:07.279
What okay.
1281
01:17:07.800 --> 01:17:12.079
Yeah, Trump said that the destroyers had transmitted quote very
1282
01:17:12.119 --> 01:17:16.880
easily out of the strait and and whatever, like a
1283
01:17:16.880 --> 01:17:19.199
butterfly dropping to its grave.
1284
01:17:21.359 --> 01:17:25.319
What who uses butterflying grave together?
1285
01:17:26.159 --> 01:17:28.279
Yeah, that's not a that's not a thing. That's not
1286
01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:30.199
a metaphor that anybody's ever heard of.
1287
01:17:30.319 --> 01:17:35.159
Man, Like, are you sure that did you really pass
1288
01:17:35.239 --> 01:17:36.680
that cognitive test?
1289
01:17:36.720 --> 01:17:38.560
Was there a butterfly on that test?
1290
01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:39.720
Are you sure?
1291
01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:45.840
Okay? So that's now.
1292
01:17:47.159 --> 01:17:50.359
Let's talk about some good report.
1293
01:17:50.479 --> 01:17:50.680
Now.
1294
01:17:51.199 --> 01:17:53.199
I want it before I I I say this thing.
1295
01:17:54.920 --> 01:17:57.600
I've got my feelings about the Washington Post in admiring
1296
01:17:57.640 --> 01:17:58.560
all of their staff.
1297
01:17:58.920 --> 01:18:00.199
Yes, it's not good.
1298
01:18:00.439 --> 01:18:04.079
I'm upset about that. I love my local paper. I
1299
01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:06.840
wanted to go back to what it was and I
1300
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:09.279
know that's not gonna happen, but I'm sad about it.
1301
01:18:10.399 --> 01:18:12.560
On the other hand, they did just win a couple
1302
01:18:12.560 --> 01:18:16.960
of pulletzers. Yeah, and they've been getting some good scoops lately, so.
1303
01:18:18.479 --> 01:18:23.119
You know, stuff is happening. Here's one of those scoops.
1304
01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:28.319
There's a Post exclusive that figured out that Iranian air
1305
01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:30.720
strikes have damaged or destroyed at least two hundred and
1306
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.760
twenty eight structures or pieces of equipment at US military
1307
01:18:33.760 --> 01:18:38.319
sites across the Middle East since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks,
1308
01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:43.199
fuel depots, aircraft and key radar, communications and air defense equipment.
1309
01:18:43.520 --> 01:18:47.920
According to a post analysis of satellite imagery, the amount
1310
01:18:47.960 --> 01:18:52.319
of destruction is far larger than what had been publicly
1311
01:18:52.600 --> 01:18:55.159
acknowledged by the US government or previously reported.
1312
01:18:55.399 --> 01:18:57.479
Brian, that's a fantastic graphic.
1313
01:18:57.600 --> 01:18:59.960
Right, I'm gonna say, it's so good. It's so orange.
1314
01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:01.479
It is so orange.
1315
01:19:01.560 --> 01:19:02.399
Yeah, there you go.
1316
01:19:02.479 --> 01:19:07.800
Also, that is that is how I envision every cabinet meeting.
1317
01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:14.880
What do you mean you think they're little and I'm trying. Yeah.
1318
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:17.279
The Iranians they love me. They love me so much.
1319
01:19:17.279 --> 01:19:18.880
That's why they keep calling me. Come up to me,
1320
01:19:18.920 --> 01:19:21.399
they say, sir. There's a big tal Iranian guy with
1321
01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:24.359
the strong Iranian guy twos streaming down in his face.
1322
01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:28.439
He says, sir, So these fast boats we sent them
1323
01:19:28.479 --> 01:19:29.199
after your ships.
1324
01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:30.680
You knocked them down like a butterfly.
1325
01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:33.520
Going to his grave, I said, I know many people
1326
01:19:33.560 --> 01:19:35.920
are talking about the butterflies and their graves.
1327
01:19:36.119 --> 01:19:37.399
It's a very cabon phrase.
1328
01:19:37.520 --> 01:19:39.399
Do you have that phrase in Iran?
1329
01:19:40.600 --> 01:19:42.840
And the and the crying Iranian guy was like, no, sir,
1330
01:19:42.920 --> 01:19:44.760
you invented it here in Iran.
1331
01:19:45.520 --> 01:19:49.640
You bombed all the butterflies. Yeah.
1332
01:19:49.720 --> 01:19:52.399
Well, as it turns out, the Iranian retaliation has been
1333
01:19:52.520 --> 01:19:54.560
really a lot better than.
1334
01:19:56.159 --> 01:19:58.439
Described. I'm not rooting for that.
1335
01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:00.600
I want to I want to be clear, I'm I'm
1336
01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:06.159
I'm pissed off right, like I want.
1337
01:20:05.760 --> 01:20:07.960
Okay, how do I put this and still not sound like.
1338
01:20:07.960 --> 01:20:09.119
The worst person in the world.
1339
01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:17.880
My American exceptionalist attitude is that our military is so
1340
01:20:18.119 --> 01:20:21.680
good and so advanced technologically that we can go and
1341
01:20:21.760 --> 01:20:24.880
fuck with anybody, and I dare them to fuck with us,
1342
01:20:25.479 --> 01:20:27.560
and I'm confident that.
1343
01:20:27.479 --> 01:20:32.159
They can't, But it turns out maybe they can, and
1344
01:20:32.199 --> 01:20:32.880
so we should be.
1345
01:20:32.880 --> 01:20:35.960
A little more careful about who we fuck with, Like
1346
01:20:36.000 --> 01:20:38.760
we're good with fucking with like little terrorist organizations that
1347
01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:42.800
don't have cruise missiles, but the Orions have cruise missiles.
1348
01:20:43.039 --> 01:20:45.840
I would even go further to be like, I mean,
1349
01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:49.880
we saw this in the Original War Originals, multiple wars
1350
01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:52.720
we had in the least last the last, the last
1351
01:20:52.760 --> 01:20:57.039
war in the Middle East that specifically in Afghanistan, we
1352
01:20:57.039 --> 01:21:00.880
weren't ready for. Kind of like that either insert gorilla
1353
01:21:01.000 --> 01:21:03.079
style fighting, like we were ready for that, and again
1354
01:21:03.079 --> 01:21:06.600
in other wars as well. Here it feels like specifically
1355
01:21:06.640 --> 01:21:10.239
with like it feels that I don't even try to
1356
01:21:10.239 --> 01:21:11.000
figure out a way that.
1357
01:21:12.439 --> 01:21:17.479
It's almost as if that the.
1358
01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:21.920
American military is kind of like this super fancy restaurant
1359
01:21:22.039 --> 01:21:24.600
that has all the gadgets, all the fucking things to
1360
01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:28.199
do it. He's these crazy meals it pushes out, but
1361
01:21:28.239 --> 01:21:29.600
then you just prefer.
1362
01:21:29.359 --> 01:21:31.600
To go into the whole the hole in the wall spot.
1363
01:21:31.680 --> 01:21:34.800
It seems to be beating them out right, And it's
1364
01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:37.840
and I and again, they're not putting a lot of
1365
01:21:37.840 --> 01:21:40.319
money into it, clearly not as much as the American
1366
01:21:40.560 --> 01:21:43.119
as we put into our military, like me and you
1367
01:21:43.159 --> 01:21:47.279
and the rest of the taxpayer. Yeah, and I think
1368
01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:50.520
that has been interesting, right And another way to be
1369
01:21:50.800 --> 01:21:53.319
it's not a digital analog really is in the right way,
1370
01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:55.159
because it's really all digital at this point.
1371
01:21:55.199 --> 01:21:57.520
But again, it's it's.
1372
01:21:57.319 --> 01:22:02.319
Almost like someone has these like really expensive headphones and
1373
01:22:02.359 --> 01:22:04.560
maybe you have like a twenty dollars pair of Sony's,
1374
01:22:04.600 --> 01:22:08.880
but the twenty dollar pair Ofsny headphones are better than whatever.
1375
01:22:08.600 --> 01:22:11.000
Expensive ass headphone it's out there.
1376
01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:12.439
And I think you see that with the way they
1377
01:22:12.479 --> 01:22:14.720
operate with these drones that they're using, Right, these drones
1378
01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:19.159
are very cheap comparatively to what we're using to even
1379
01:22:19.279 --> 01:22:22.680
def like to take them down to defend ourselves. We're
1380
01:22:22.720 --> 01:22:29.000
spending a lot more defending against a cheaper munition that
1381
01:22:29.039 --> 01:22:32.199
they're creating. And I found that to be very interesting.
1382
01:22:32.239 --> 01:22:34.239
And I mean, yeah, in a sense, they are winning
1383
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:35.239
on that front alone.
1384
01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:39.880
Yeah, And it's it's maybe to complete your metaphor if
1385
01:22:39.880 --> 01:22:41.680
you ever you've been on the road and you see
1386
01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:45.239
like a cargoes whizzing by, right, and it's like a Corvette,
1387
01:22:45.880 --> 01:22:47.520
and then it's you.
1388
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:50.680
Know, it's like, okay, well that's a big expensive you know.
1389
01:22:50.920 --> 01:22:53.560
And then right behind it is a Corolla like keeping
1390
01:22:53.680 --> 01:22:56.359
up with it and chasing it down nine ninety five,
1391
01:22:56.359 --> 01:22:58.600
and you're like, what the hell hell is that happening.
1392
01:22:59.239 --> 01:23:00.720
Yeah, that's kind of what's going on.
1393
01:23:01.439 --> 01:23:03.960
If you think about what's going on in Russian and Ukraine,
1394
01:23:04.039 --> 01:23:07.079
it was sort of a similar deal, right the Russians.
1395
01:23:07.359 --> 01:23:10.439
In that case, the Iranian drones were the expensive munitions.
1396
01:23:10.479 --> 01:23:14.119
So the the Russians were throwing fifty thousand dollars drones
1397
01:23:14.479 --> 01:23:16.840
at the Ukrainians and the Yukis were knocking them down
1398
01:23:16.840 --> 01:23:19.239
with thirteen hundred dollars drones on.
1399
01:23:19.279 --> 01:23:22.439
Their own score bought type drones initially, and.
1400
01:23:22.399 --> 01:23:24.359
Then they then they started making their own and they're
1401
01:23:24.399 --> 01:23:27.159
even better at it, and they're even now exporting those
1402
01:23:27.920 --> 01:23:30.479
to the Middle East, to the to the golf Arab
1403
01:23:30.560 --> 01:23:33.880
states as like defense against these.
1404
01:23:33.880 --> 01:23:35.560
Drug because they're proven and they work.
1405
01:23:36.039 --> 01:23:41.520
So yeah, it is an asymmetrical cost benefit analysis here
1406
01:23:41.560 --> 01:23:47.279
that the Iranians are attacking with relatively simple, relatively inexpensive munitions,
1407
01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:51.319
and the US and our allies are using very expensive
1408
01:23:51.359 --> 01:23:55.279
things to shoot them down. But we're also apparently not
1409
01:23:55.399 --> 01:23:58.520
shooting them down at the rate that we're saying that
1410
01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:03.079
we are. So the threat of air attacks rendered some
1411
01:24:03.319 --> 01:24:05.760
of the US bases in the region too dangerous for
1412
01:24:05.840 --> 01:24:08.079
staff at normal levels. They moved a lot of people
1413
01:24:08.079 --> 01:24:10.920
out and put them like tried to put them in
1414
01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:15.560
hotels within Bahrain and in UAE.
1415
01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:17.920
And Katarlan of hotels to friends.
1416
01:24:18.560 --> 01:24:20.760
Yeah, and so like then the Iranians find that out
1417
01:24:20.800 --> 01:24:23.119
and they just target those hotels, which puts all of
1418
01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:26.520
the rest of the stuff at risk. The other big
1419
01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:33.279
problem is that like there's an information gap going on,
1420
01:24:33.880 --> 01:24:36.960
so satellite imagery of the Middle East is unusually difficult
1421
01:24:37.000 --> 01:24:40.680
to acquire. At present. Two of the largest commercial providers,
1422
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:45.079
van Tour and Planet, have complied with requests from the
1423
01:24:45.159 --> 01:24:48.680
US government, who is also their largest customer, to limit,
1424
01:24:48.760 --> 01:24:52.359
delay or indefinitely withhold the publication of imagery of the
1425
01:24:52.399 --> 01:24:57.079
region while the war not a war, is ongoing, making
1426
01:24:57.119 --> 01:25:01.199
it difficult or impossible to assess Iran's counter strikes and
1427
01:25:01.239 --> 01:25:04.199
indeed their claims right there, the Iranians are like, oh no,
1428
01:25:04.279 --> 01:25:08.239
we definitely hit this stuff. Those restrictions began less than
1429
01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:12.159
two weeks into the war, but Iranian state affiliated news
1430
01:25:12.159 --> 01:25:17.760
agencies have from the start regularly published high resolution satellite
1431
01:25:17.800 --> 01:25:21.600
imagery on their social media accounts that claim to document
1432
01:25:21.640 --> 01:25:24.680
the damage of the US sites. How they're getting it
1433
01:25:24.720 --> 01:25:29.640
is anybody's guess, And so you could yeah, right, you
1434
01:25:29.720 --> 01:25:33.720
could be it's definitely Russian, you could or China, or
1435
01:25:33.720 --> 01:25:35.319
you could write that off and be like, oh, well,
1436
01:25:35.359 --> 01:25:38.800
the Iranians said this, Well, who trusts them? And we've
1437
01:25:38.840 --> 01:25:42.239
said from the beginning that like, there's no trustworthy source
1438
01:25:42.279 --> 01:25:45.000
in this war. The Israelitis could say something, nobody trust that.
1439
01:25:45.199 --> 01:25:47.800
The Trump administration says it definitely nobody trust that the
1440
01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:51.680
Iranians says something. Nobody trust the fucking Iranians either. But
1441
01:25:51.800 --> 01:25:54.439
for this examination that the Post did one of the
1442
01:25:54.439 --> 01:25:57.720
first comprehensive public accounts of the damage of the US
1443
01:25:57.760 --> 01:26:00.279
facilities in the region. The Post reviewed more than one
1444
01:26:00.359 --> 01:26:05.399
hundred high res Iranian release satellite images. The Posts verified
1445
01:26:05.399 --> 01:26:07.960
the authenticity of the one hundred of one hundred and
1446
01:26:08.039 --> 01:26:11.279
nine of those images by comparing them to lower res
1447
01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:15.279
imagery from the European satellite system which is called Copernicus,
1448
01:26:15.359 --> 01:26:19.159
which is I think brilliant, good name YEP, as well
1449
01:26:19.159 --> 01:26:22.760
as high resolution images from planet when they could get them,
1450
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:28.359
and the Posts it excluded nineteen Iranian images from the
1451
01:26:28.439 --> 01:26:34.399
damage analysis because comparisons to the Copernicus imagery were non conclusive.
1452
01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:37.680
They were inconclusive, Okay, no Iranian imustry was found to
1453
01:26:37.680 --> 01:26:40.840
have been manipulated. So basically what they're what they were
1454
01:26:40.880 --> 01:26:45.359
able to prove by studying the images released by the Iranians,
1455
01:26:45.399 --> 01:26:49.239
which probably came from the Russians, and comparing it to
1456
01:26:49.920 --> 01:26:54.199
similar information that the Europeans have, They're like, oh, these
1457
01:26:54.239 --> 01:26:57.840
Iranians are not lying about the damage done to the
1458
01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:02.720
US facilities all throughout the Middle East, which means only
1459
01:27:02.760 --> 01:27:05.880
one thing that the US government is lying about the
1460
01:27:05.960 --> 01:27:09.560
damage done to the facilities and US stuff.
1461
01:27:09.399 --> 01:27:13.279
In the Middle East, which is not great.
1462
01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:17.199
When you've already got a war that's unpopular, you've got
1463
01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:18.680
a president who's unpopular.
1464
01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:20.880
The whole situation is bad.
1465
01:27:21.119 --> 01:27:25.560
It smells like Vietnam, but it doesn't have the bones burst, right.
1466
01:27:27.600 --> 01:27:28.039
I just.
1467
01:27:29.479 --> 01:27:33.279
I mean, this was this was not unexpected.
1468
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:36.239
Let me just say that I was shocked.
1469
01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:38.720
Shocked, I tell you to find out that the Trump
1470
01:27:38.760 --> 01:27:44.239
administration is overtly lying about the damage done to our staff.
1471
01:27:44.279 --> 01:27:47.079
Oh no, we're fine, We're shooting down everything.
1472
01:27:47.159 --> 01:27:49.600
Nothing's been hit. You know, it's really minimal.
1473
01:27:49.640 --> 01:27:52.000
Because we saw some of those social media images right
1474
01:27:52.039 --> 01:27:56.560
where people had filmed the missiles hitting the buildings and
1475
01:27:56.760 --> 01:28:00.520
stuff the fires. So it's like, you know, they say
1476
01:28:00.520 --> 01:28:02.960
that nothing's getting through, but it must be getting through.
1477
01:28:03.000 --> 01:28:06.279
Something's getting through, right, I mean, I mean, this.
1478
01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:07.840
Is really going to come to a head, and we'll
1479
01:28:07.840 --> 01:28:13.720
see it is whenever China decides invade Taiwan and when
1480
01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:16.960
we have a completely depend like again, a military that
1481
01:28:17.199 --> 01:28:20.439
I mean before this still had a lot of catching
1482
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:23.239
up to do to China in a variety of ways.
1483
01:28:24.960 --> 01:28:28.000
But now this doesn't help because this is again it's
1484
01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:32.279
almost like you went to the gun range and you're
1485
01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:36.560
just blowing away ammunition, but then an actual war happens,
1486
01:28:36.680 --> 01:28:38.039
or like you need to use.
1487
01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:40.199
Your gun and you're like, oh where all my fucking ammunition?
1488
01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:40.359
Go?
1489
01:28:40.880 --> 01:28:43.439
Oh, well, you were just like again using it, and
1490
01:28:43.560 --> 01:28:46.479
maybe not even gun range that's more controlled, right, but
1491
01:28:47.079 --> 01:28:51.199
you're using this ammunition in a in a senseless war
1492
01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:52.279
that you didn't have to.
1493
01:28:53.119 --> 01:28:56.960
Yeah, and it doesn't just regrow. You know, it's not
1494
01:28:57.000 --> 01:28:57.800
a video game.
1495
01:28:58.039 --> 01:28:59.159
It doesn't repl.
1496
01:28:59.479 --> 01:29:03.000
You go run behind, you run behind and see like
1497
01:29:03.039 --> 01:29:04.600
a little fucking animal kit in it.
1498
01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:06.560
No, you have to make this ship.
1499
01:29:06.720 --> 01:29:07.399
You have to make it.
1500
01:29:07.479 --> 01:29:08.840
You have to build it, you have to get the
1501
01:29:09.039 --> 01:29:11.079
raw materials, you have to have the labor, you have
1502
01:29:11.119 --> 01:29:13.359
to I mean, there's a lot that goes into every
1503
01:29:13.399 --> 01:29:17.439
one of these rockets or missiles or bombs that gets deployed.
1504
01:29:18.039 --> 01:29:20.640
And yeah, the Chinese are just sitting here watching us
1505
01:29:20.680 --> 01:29:25.239
wasting ammo on an opponent that they frankly don't care about,
1506
01:29:25.680 --> 01:29:29.840
and that that we didn't need. Yeah, I mean, gun
1507
01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:33.960
range is a I think maybe the right equivalent. It's
1508
01:29:34.119 --> 01:29:39.399
almost it's almost like uh, setting it off, like it's
1509
01:29:39.439 --> 01:29:40.359
fireworks as.
1510
01:29:40.199 --> 01:29:41.600
Opposed to being real munition.
1511
01:29:41.720 --> 01:29:45.279
Yes, exactly, because we're just doing it for fun. I
1512
01:29:45.319 --> 01:29:49.800
guess there doesn't seem to be any goal here guns
1513
01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:53.680
trying to get better at shooting maybe, But yeah, I
1514
01:29:53.720 --> 01:29:56.159
mean this is like, oh, this is fun. We're gonna
1515
01:29:56.199 --> 01:29:59.239
go launch a fake war against a not war, a
1516
01:29:59.279 --> 01:30:05.079
mini war against Iran. Excursion, excursion, skirmish. He's onto skirmish.
1517
01:30:05.119 --> 01:30:07.560
Now nobody knows who his skirmish is. I invented the
1518
01:30:07.560 --> 01:30:14.880
words skirmish. So also, I think this becomes a problem
1519
01:30:14.920 --> 01:30:19.680
in Congress. Right, so Trump hasn't gotten authorization for use
1520
01:30:19.680 --> 01:30:22.079
of force in this There is no authorization for use
1521
01:30:22.119 --> 01:30:23.239
of force regarding Iran.
1522
01:30:23.279 --> 01:30:25.359
And this we just went over sixty We just went over,
1523
01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:26.840
went to sixty eight, threw on over the.
1524
01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:29.199
Sixty day mark that the War Powers Act limits the
1525
01:30:29.199 --> 01:30:33.640
president from engaging after that. They got around that, or
1526
01:30:33.680 --> 01:30:35.920
they think they've gotten around that by saying, though that
1527
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:38.560
operation is over, we've started a new one, which they
1528
01:30:38.600 --> 01:30:43.119
then canceled. It doesn't reset the clock, but that's that's
1529
01:30:43.119 --> 01:30:44.239
never really been tested.
1530
01:30:44.319 --> 01:30:45.760
We don't know how this would even go.
1531
01:30:46.279 --> 01:30:50.159
If the president violates this and continues to conduct a
1532
01:30:50.199 --> 01:30:54.840
war without seeking authorization, Congress could refer it for prosecution
1533
01:30:55.079 --> 01:30:57.720
to the Justice Department, but of course that's the.
1534
01:30:57.600 --> 01:31:00.159
Same Todd Bleach.
1535
01:31:00.239 --> 01:31:04.279
So they're not gonna They're not gonna act on that,
1536
01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:07.159
And there's no mechanism by which Congress can actually hold
1537
01:31:07.159 --> 01:31:11.439
them accountable apart from cutting off the money. And it's
1538
01:31:11.520 --> 01:31:13.319
not clear that even that would work because the Trump
1539
01:31:13.359 --> 01:31:16.880
people are willing to do things without being funded. Case
1540
01:31:16.920 --> 01:31:21.600
in point, the entire DHS which ran for a record
1541
01:31:21.640 --> 01:31:25.239
long time without an appropriation, right, and they didn't seem
1542
01:31:25.279 --> 01:31:27.479
to care. That didn't stop them. They're just willing to
1543
01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:29.439
work these guys to debt. Now will they be able
1544
01:31:29.439 --> 01:31:32.960
to send troops out to fight without paying them harder
1545
01:31:33.239 --> 01:31:37.199
harder question? But where this comes up, I think in
1546
01:31:37.279 --> 01:31:42.439
Congress is like, you have this reporting, you have this information,
1547
01:31:43.560 --> 01:31:47.359
if you can be pretty confident that it's solid, you
1548
01:31:47.479 --> 01:31:50.680
haul head set then and go all right, buddy, look
1549
01:31:50.720 --> 01:31:54.760
at that. What's the answer. Why is why is this burnt?
1550
01:31:55.720 --> 01:31:57.720
Where is why is there a hole where there was
1551
01:31:58.000 --> 01:32:02.239
an airplane hangar a few minutes ago? And and what
1552
01:32:02.279 --> 01:32:03.600
are you doing to stop this?
1553
01:32:04.640 --> 01:32:05.439
And then.
1554
01:32:06.720 --> 01:32:08.359
You know, it's just sort of like the Cuban missile
1555
01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:12.880
crisis moment right where it just becomes impossible to defend
1556
01:32:13.079 --> 01:32:17.640
or or ignore or obfuscate about because it's there and
1557
01:32:17.680 --> 01:32:18.720
everybody can see it.
1558
01:32:19.319 --> 01:32:21.600
Yep, So that could be a problem.
1559
01:32:22.159 --> 01:32:25.960
The other thing that's weird about this not war is
1560
01:32:26.000 --> 01:32:30.560
that Trump keeps saying that it's over and that we won,
1561
01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:34.960
and they then he like then, but still also needs
1562
01:32:34.960 --> 01:32:38.159
a billion dollars to conduct the war twenty five billion dollars.
1563
01:32:38.079 --> 01:32:38.680
Or whatever it is.
1564
01:32:40.479 --> 01:32:44.439
So I don't think he understands what win means, probably
1565
01:32:44.439 --> 01:32:48.800
because he doesn't win very often. But a day after
1566
01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:52.239
announcing a pause in the military's new operation to clear
1567
01:32:52.279 --> 01:32:55.439
a path for commercial vessels through the Straight of Horror moves,
1568
01:32:55.960 --> 01:32:58.560
halting a mission that had just begun, Donald Trump on
1569
01:32:58.600 --> 01:33:01.680
Wednesday threatened that if it did not agree to his
1570
01:33:01.840 --> 01:33:04.920
latest piece planned US bombing and resume quote at a
1571
01:33:05.000 --> 01:33:07.920
much higher level, which we've now done. It's resumed at
1572
01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:09.279
at butterfly grave.
1573
01:33:09.319 --> 01:33:15.279
Right, butterfly butterfly grave letter, butterfly butterfly grave levels.
1574
01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:19.560
Let's there you go, butterfly grave level. You want to
1575
01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:22.479
say grade level. I know you do, Yes, exactly. Grade
1576
01:33:22.560 --> 01:33:24.960
level is exactly what I say. Yes, butterfly grade level,
1577
01:33:25.000 --> 01:33:26.039
that's what these people are on.
1578
01:33:26.880 --> 01:33:29.199
You got to figure out how well the butterflies can read.
1579
01:33:29.319 --> 01:33:29.560
Man.
1580
01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:33.119
Are they at grade level or are they at Mississippi?
1581
01:33:34.399 --> 01:33:35.680
No, that means they're above.
1582
01:33:36.159 --> 01:33:37.439
Yeah, that means they're better.
1583
01:33:38.079 --> 01:33:45.039
Better than the country at anyway.
1584
01:33:47.560 --> 01:33:50.239
Yeah, they have a.
1585
01:33:50.239 --> 01:33:51.520
Disadvantage, all right.
1586
01:33:51.760 --> 01:33:55.720
People in New England don't really speak English and probably
1587
01:33:55.760 --> 01:34:00.680
therefore can't read, and so it's it's harder, it's hot
1588
01:34:00.680 --> 01:34:05.680
to for them to pass those tests because they don't
1589
01:34:05.720 --> 01:34:09.520
speak the same language as the rest of us. I
1590
01:34:09.560 --> 01:34:12.560
don't know what to tell you. That is a whole difference.
1591
01:34:12.760 --> 01:34:14.479
I lived there for a couple of years. Let me
1592
01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:17.239
tell you, New England is like another country.
1593
01:34:18.199 --> 01:34:18.880
It is it is.
1594
01:34:19.079 --> 01:34:19.520
It is a.
1595
01:34:19.439 --> 01:34:22.840
Country made of Dunkin donuts and subway Those are the
1596
01:34:23.600 --> 01:34:26.319
so ubiquitous there that you can literally see from one
1597
01:34:26.359 --> 01:34:27.199
subway to the next.
1598
01:34:27.239 --> 01:34:29.239
That is true.
1599
01:34:29.680 --> 01:34:32.680
And you can see from one duncan to both duncans
1600
01:34:33.079 --> 01:34:33.920
in either direction.
1601
01:34:35.560 --> 01:34:41.680
So yeah, then he said this like insane stupid thing.
1602
01:34:42.159 --> 01:34:42.600
Okay.
1603
01:34:42.800 --> 01:34:46.279
Trump said that Iron had already accepted at least part
1604
01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:49.800
of the US proposal, and this is a few hours ago,
1605
01:34:50.199 --> 01:34:54.039
is like, they've already accepted the deal. And then he's
1606
01:34:54.319 --> 01:35:00.439
but he's just waiting on exchange documents or something. What
1607
01:35:00.479 --> 01:35:02.359
did they agree on and who are you talking to
1608
01:35:02.520 --> 01:35:06.680
and why? And he's like, uh, never mind, and he's
1609
01:35:06.800 --> 01:35:08.720
then he says, this thing. We have to get what
1610
01:35:08.800 --> 01:35:13.000
we have to get, Trump told reporters at the White House,
1611
01:35:13.159 --> 01:35:16.560
expanding on an earlier social media post. If we don't
1612
01:35:16.600 --> 01:35:21.000
do that, we'll have to go a big step further.
1613
01:35:21.520 --> 01:35:24.119
But they want to make a deal. We've had a
1614
01:35:24.239 --> 01:35:26.600
very we've had very good talks over the last twenty
1615
01:35:26.600 --> 01:35:29.720
four hours, and now we're back to bombing. So I
1616
01:35:29.760 --> 01:35:32.600
don't know. Also, the deal that I guess there was
1617
01:35:32.640 --> 01:35:36.800
like some hints at, was a moratorium on nuclear enrichment
1618
01:35:36.840 --> 01:35:42.800
that was shorter than the JCPOA covered and had more
1619
01:35:42.840 --> 01:35:46.000
sanctions relief than the JCPOA gave.
1620
01:35:46.199 --> 01:35:46.560
So like.
1621
01:35:48.199 --> 01:35:49.880
It, and it wanted the straights reopen.
1622
01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:50.319
So the.
1623
01:35:51.760 --> 01:35:55.279
So we love the deal, but worse, Yeah, what you're saying.
1624
01:35:55.359 --> 01:35:58.199
Yeah, the fact, no matter what deal you put forward,
1625
01:35:58.239 --> 01:36:00.640
because we have to do this to reopen thet it's
1626
01:36:00.680 --> 01:36:01.319
a bad deal.
1627
01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:03.600
It's worse than Obama steel, no matter. Yeah.
1628
01:36:04.359 --> 01:36:08.039
Pakistani mediators pressed both sides to quote differentiate between what
1629
01:36:08.199 --> 01:36:09.840
is urgent and what is important.
1630
01:36:10.560 --> 01:36:12.640
Said the former.
1631
01:36:12.359 --> 01:36:16.319
Pakistani senator who served on the Foreign Relations and Defense Committee,
1632
01:36:16.439 --> 01:36:21.039
that what's urgent, what's important, What is urgent is the
1633
01:36:21.079 --> 01:36:24.760
straight of horror moves because that affects international shipping, the
1634
01:36:24.800 --> 01:36:30.119
international economy, global energy. And what's important is the nuclear issue.
1635
01:36:30.279 --> 01:36:34.119
That's a great way of describing this. Yeah, but I
1636
01:36:34.199 --> 01:36:38.479
want to be expressly clear about something. This didn't need
1637
01:36:38.520 --> 01:36:42.760
to be the point from which we're negotiating. What was
1638
01:36:42.840 --> 01:36:46.159
in place at the time that Trump tore it up
1639
01:36:46.239 --> 01:36:50.119
in Trump one point zero was a deal where first
1640
01:36:50.119 --> 01:36:52.680
of all, the strait was open the entire time, had
1641
01:36:52.720 --> 01:36:58.079
never been closed. And what the deal was was sanctions relief.
1642
01:36:59.439 --> 01:37:02.479
It was it was sanctions to bring Iran to the
1643
01:37:02.520 --> 01:37:04.880
table for the JCPOA in the first place, they were
1644
01:37:04.960 --> 01:37:10.800
crushing and they were effective, and the deal was that
1645
01:37:10.840 --> 01:37:15.399
they would behave their damn selves not enriched past a
1646
01:37:15.439 --> 01:37:20.079
certain amount, submit to all of these inspections and stuff,
1647
01:37:21.600 --> 01:37:25.880
and if they didn't, the sanctions would snap back into place,
1648
01:37:27.000 --> 01:37:30.960
and Russia and China couldn't stop them, and they had
1649
01:37:31.039 --> 01:37:37.159
agreed to this deal, right, which is an incredible achievement
1650
01:37:37.720 --> 01:37:40.760
that Carrie came up with to get this thing where
1651
01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:45.880
it was. Iran agreed to do the thing, Russia and
1652
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:49.279
China agreed not to stop the thing. And there was
1653
01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:54.960
an automatic like snapback provision that would cause this stuff
1654
01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:58.079
to happen regardless of any objection by anybody else.
1655
01:37:59.199 --> 01:38:04.079
That's a remark. And it was working. It was working.
1656
01:38:04.159 --> 01:38:07.119
Now there are people who will tell me that it
1657
01:38:07.159 --> 01:38:09.479
wasn't working, that the Irionians were subverting this, that they
1658
01:38:09.479 --> 01:38:12.680
were doing all these things, that they were the Russians
1659
01:38:12.680 --> 01:38:16.359
were doing all this stuff secretly. That might be true,
1660
01:38:16.359 --> 01:38:19.840
but where is the evidence of that? Can't just say things?
1661
01:38:19.960 --> 01:38:23.359
Can't just assert things If the IEA doesn't show any
1662
01:38:23.399 --> 01:38:26.600
evidence of this stuff, if they can account every gram
1663
01:38:26.640 --> 01:38:30.319
of uranium where it is and what level inspect right,
1664
01:38:31.079 --> 01:38:35.279
you know there there go find me where they lost
1665
01:38:35.319 --> 01:38:38.039
track of anything that would tell you that there's But
1666
01:38:38.119 --> 01:38:38.800
there wasn't this.
1667
01:38:38.960 --> 01:38:41.960
None of this was a problem. This was a not problem.
1668
01:38:42.159 --> 01:38:46.239
Trump created the problem by tearing up the deal and
1669
01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:50.239
negating any trust or confidence that the world had in
1670
01:38:50.279 --> 01:38:55.720
America to keep its promises, and then when that obviously
1671
01:38:55.840 --> 01:38:58.760
led to Iran being like, well, fuck it, the Americans
1672
01:38:58.760 --> 01:39:02.359
weren't serious. We're going to race too a bomb, and
1673
01:39:02.399 --> 01:39:05.319
then we're in a bad situation, and his choice to
1674
01:39:05.359 --> 01:39:07.560
deal with it isn't to be like, all right, we
1675
01:39:07.680 --> 01:39:10.520
fucked up. Let's try to get JCPOA back. That was
1676
01:39:10.560 --> 01:39:12.960
our mistake, you know, and own it. It was to
1677
01:39:13.399 --> 01:39:17.079
bomb them, which made them even more upset and worried,
1678
01:39:17.920 --> 01:39:23.359
and then bomb them again, and then to negotiate.
1679
01:39:22.760 --> 01:39:23.840
For what what.
1680
01:39:25.119 --> 01:39:26.239
For a worst deal.
1681
01:39:26.439 --> 01:39:28.840
For a worse deal, And you watch him do these
1682
01:39:28.840 --> 01:39:33.840
negotiations sort of live on Twitter, where he's changing his
1683
01:39:34.000 --> 01:39:38.760
mind sentenced by sentence within the same post. It's kind
1684
01:39:38.760 --> 01:39:41.600
of hard to watch because you're like, how can you
1685
01:39:41.680 --> 01:39:45.680
be this bad at negotiating anything?
1686
01:39:45.920 --> 01:39:47.680
I mean to be?
1687
01:39:48.079 --> 01:39:51.880
He was never ever a good business man.
1688
01:39:51.880 --> 01:39:52.720
No, we know that.
1689
01:39:52.800 --> 01:39:54.680
What I'm saying is, I'm watching him do this, and
1690
01:39:54.720 --> 01:39:57.119
I'm thinking he probably couldn't manage to like order ice
1691
01:39:57.159 --> 01:40:03.800
cream like because someone else, Yeah, do you want it
1692
01:40:03.840 --> 01:40:05.520
on the whole pizza or half the pizza?
1693
01:40:05.680 --> 01:40:07.159
You know what, I want it on the whole pizza.
1694
01:40:07.199 --> 01:40:08.640
I'm gonna buy me until you put it on a
1695
01:40:08.720 --> 01:40:10.720
quota of the pizza that that that.
1696
01:40:11.199 --> 01:40:14.000
He would lose at at calling Domino's.
1697
01:40:14.319 --> 01:40:16.960
Did you imagine somebody being so bad at the negotiation
1698
01:40:17.279 --> 01:40:20.319
that they would lose to an automated voice on a
1699
01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:23.920
on a you know, like cable bill.
1700
01:40:26.079 --> 01:40:28.039
Are you calling about billing or something else?
1701
01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:29.279
I'm calling about billing?
1702
01:40:29.800 --> 01:40:32.239
Right, okay, how can we help you my bill?
1703
01:40:32.319 --> 01:40:35.119
It's too high? All right? I hear your bill is
1704
01:40:35.119 --> 01:40:37.079
too high? Would you like me to raise your bill? Yes?
1705
01:40:37.159 --> 01:40:38.560
Yes, I would like you to raise my bill.
1706
01:40:38.720 --> 01:40:39.920
That's that's what he's doing.
1707
01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:46.119
Yes, that's how bad it is.
1708
01:40:47.119 --> 01:40:48.359
Why is that happening?
1709
01:40:49.000 --> 01:40:54.439
Because he does Again, we all know that he did
1710
01:40:54.479 --> 01:40:58.479
not set up this whole situation, meaning that the the
1711
01:40:58.479 --> 01:41:02.720
initial deal that was done, it was Obama.
1712
01:41:03.199 --> 01:41:06.279
Yes, his problem he's always mad about.
1713
01:41:06.399 --> 01:41:11.720
He's everything he's and we all know that everything he's dismantling,
1714
01:41:12.560 --> 01:41:17.760
crashing whatever and complaining about is whatever Obama did. And
1715
01:41:17.800 --> 01:41:21.079
I'm like, because he set it up for everybody to benefit,
1716
01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:25.760
to everyone to prosper, and that deal with Iran was fine,
1717
01:41:26.199 --> 01:41:30.119
and he pulled us out twice and this one, this
1718
01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:35.600
go around is it's just ridiculous it's just like you
1719
01:41:35.720 --> 01:41:40.479
have no plan, no structure, no ideology to how to
1720
01:41:40.520 --> 01:41:44.760
fix this. It's again, I said it before and I'll
1721
01:41:44.760 --> 01:41:46.600
say again. You're trying to put a circle in a
1722
01:41:46.640 --> 01:41:48.600
square block. It does not work.
1723
01:41:48.960 --> 01:41:49.680
I think then.
1724
01:41:49.640 --> 01:41:53.279
We say, back at the time of the tear of
1725
01:41:53.319 --> 01:41:56.800
when he tore up the deal, something like what if
1726
01:41:56.960 --> 01:42:00.840
we just let him call it the Trump Iran Yeah,
1727
01:42:01.119 --> 01:42:04.319
and then he would get to put his name on it,
1728
01:42:04.399 --> 01:42:06.640
and like that would be better for the world, Like
1729
01:42:07.439 --> 01:42:09.319
and the whole world would have been like, that's fine.
1730
01:42:09.560 --> 01:42:10.000
Let him.
1731
01:42:10.319 --> 01:42:11.760
He can put his name on it, as long as
1732
01:42:11.800 --> 01:42:15.720
he doesn't fuck it up. Like, would that have been
1733
01:42:15.760 --> 01:42:17.600
an option? Could we make that an option?
1734
01:42:18.760 --> 01:42:20.680
No, because he didn't structure it.
1735
01:42:20.840 --> 01:42:23.119
He didn't build the relationships.
1736
01:42:23.279 --> 01:42:24.800
He didn't build any of his.
1737
01:42:24.800 --> 01:42:25.680
Other stuff either.
1738
01:42:25.760 --> 01:42:28.960
He just stuck his stupid name on it.
1739
01:42:27.760 --> 01:42:30.880
And I know, but I think for him.
1740
01:42:32.119 --> 01:42:36.720
It's it's he wants more quotical hands on in a sense,
1741
01:42:37.079 --> 01:42:38.560
and he's hands on on this one.
1742
01:42:38.680 --> 01:42:40.560
Those would tiny hands.
1743
01:42:40.239 --> 01:42:43.720
On, Yeah, those real tiny hands. I'm surprised he can
1744
01:42:43.800 --> 01:42:45.079
reach read for anything.
1745
01:42:45.600 --> 01:42:48.279
So Mark Rubio's years have grown so much since he's
1746
01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:50.640
been in the cabinet with Trump's little tiny hands hanging
1747
01:42:50.680 --> 01:42:51.520
on him all the time.
1748
01:42:52.680 --> 01:42:54.960
Yeah, you can put one of those loopholes in there
1749
01:42:55.000 --> 01:42:55.359
or whatever.
1750
01:42:55.880 --> 01:42:57.960
Yeah, he can gauge him out. By the way, have
1751
01:42:58.000 --> 01:43:03.520
you seen Trump's hands lately, Yes, they are caked in makeup. Yeah,
1752
01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:06.760
they're they're hiding something. Well, they're hiding the bruising and
1753
01:43:06.960 --> 01:43:09.560
and the swelling, and I mean it looks ridiculous. But
1754
01:43:09.720 --> 01:43:13.520
look at the color of it, Like it's not even
1755
01:43:13.640 --> 01:43:14.319
good makeup.
1756
01:43:14.479 --> 01:43:15.520
You'd think that they could.
1757
01:43:15.760 --> 01:43:16.000
Can't.
1758
01:43:16.039 --> 01:43:18.600
He go over to Hegset's spot where he's got his
1759
01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:26.039
makeup room and like, get that done professionally. It looks hideous,
1760
01:43:26.159 --> 01:43:28.800
laughable man, especially for TV man.
1761
01:43:30.439 --> 01:43:33.239
Well, he's like it comes off a TV like they
1762
01:43:33.479 --> 01:43:35.600
should be able to go find people who do makeup
1763
01:43:35.640 --> 01:43:36.039
for telling.
1764
01:43:36.239 --> 01:43:40.399
Yeah, you would. Shouldn't be hard, he's kind of.
1765
01:43:40.880 --> 01:43:45.960
I mean, the federal government can can get good makeup.
1766
01:43:48.399 --> 01:43:50.880
They've been they've been dressing up white supremacy for a
1767
01:43:50.960 --> 01:43:51.680
really long time.
1768
01:43:52.199 --> 01:43:54.920
If they If Sam and Alito can get like right
1769
01:43:55.560 --> 01:43:59.720
skiers to go along with him on his uh ski trips,
1770
01:43:59.720 --> 01:44:01.920
I'm sure where we can finally the best makeup art
1771
01:44:02.479 --> 01:44:04.920
exactly crazy to hear that.
1772
01:44:06.800 --> 01:44:09.760
Yes, well he got tired of fishing, you know, he
1773
01:44:09.840 --> 01:44:10.960
needed to do something else.
1774
01:44:12.840 --> 01:44:17.560
Missus, missus Alito was skiing upside down on the course.
1775
01:44:21.479 --> 01:44:24.479
I knew that was going there. Yeah, knew that.
1776
01:44:25.239 --> 01:44:26.439
That's a flag joke.
1777
01:44:26.840 --> 01:44:29.199
All right, you want to talk about a little more retribution.
1778
01:44:30.000 --> 01:44:31.359
Bring it back retribution part two.
1779
01:44:31.399 --> 01:44:33.399
All right, let's get back to some retribution.
1780
01:44:33.640 --> 01:44:34.600
So, uh, the.
1781
01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:39.399
US agency susan New York Times, accusing it of bias
1782
01:44:39.439 --> 01:44:42.960
against white male employees.
1783
01:44:43.479 --> 01:44:46.359
So the US.
1784
01:44:45.840 --> 01:44:51.960
Opportunity, Yeah, the the eeo CEE attacked.
1785
01:44:52.359 --> 01:44:57.439
This is an insane story. The eeo ce sue The
1786
01:44:57.439 --> 01:45:00.800
New York Times on Tuesday, alleging that the news organization
1787
01:45:01.079 --> 01:45:05.079
violated federal law by passing over white a white male
1788
01:45:05.159 --> 01:45:10.239
employee for a promotion. Think about what you're saying for
1789
01:45:10.319 --> 01:45:14.079
a minute. You didn't get the job, So you're going
1790
01:45:14.119 --> 01:45:20.199
to the EEOC to claim that it was because you're white?
1791
01:45:20.760 --> 01:45:25.479
What And it's a big organization like the Times.
1792
01:45:25.520 --> 01:45:28.800
If you were both equally qualified, guess what would have happened?
1793
01:45:28.800 --> 01:45:33.399
They would have made two jobs. Yeah, right, that that happens.
1794
01:45:34.439 --> 01:45:42.159
It happens a lot. Yeah, exactly. Here's this incredible quote here.
1795
01:45:42.479 --> 01:45:46.399
No one is above the law, including quote. Elite Institutions
1796
01:45:46.920 --> 01:45:51.920
chair Andrea Lucas said, uh in a in a statement,
1797
01:45:51.960 --> 01:45:54.680
there's or wrote in a statement, I guess there is
1798
01:45:54.800 --> 01:45:59.399
no such thing as there is no such thing as
1799
01:45:59.520 --> 01:46:03.920
reverse to discrimination. All races or sex discrimination is equally
1800
01:46:04.000 --> 01:46:07.319
unlawful according to a long established civil rights principle.
1801
01:46:08.720 --> 01:46:09.000
Right.
1802
01:46:09.760 --> 01:46:13.079
She continued that federal law is clear making hiring or
1803
01:46:13.119 --> 01:46:17.880
promotion decisions motivated in whole or in part by race
1804
01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:21.600
or sex violates federal law. There is no diversity exception
1805
01:46:21.720 --> 01:46:22.279
to that rule.
1806
01:46:23.239 --> 01:46:24.800
Again. Right.
1807
01:46:27.119 --> 01:46:30.439
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Lower Manhattan, alleges
1808
01:46:30.520 --> 01:46:33.960
that the Times violated Title seven of the Civil Rights
1809
01:46:33.960 --> 01:46:38.079
Act and a bunch of other things.
1810
01:46:38.479 --> 01:46:41.840
When it hired somebody.
1811
01:46:42.479 --> 01:46:45.680
I'm still struggling to understand what the argument here is.
1812
01:46:46.279 --> 01:46:51.279
Her Times categorically rejects this meritless and politically motivated allegation
1813
01:46:51.680 --> 01:46:55.640
that the Trump administration's EEOC is pursuing against us. Said
1814
01:46:55.680 --> 01:47:02.439
the Times spokeswoman, what's her name and yell Roadta. I
1815
01:47:02.479 --> 01:47:06.279
thought that was like a typo Dan Hill Rota, she
1816
01:47:06.359 --> 01:47:09.560
wrote in a statement, she was clearly a diversity hire.
1817
01:47:10.199 --> 01:47:11.199
Throughout the process.
1818
01:47:11.319 --> 01:47:15.439
EEOC deviated from standard practices in highly unusual ways, blatantly
1819
01:47:15.479 --> 01:47:20.800
weaponizing a traditionally independent government body to serve a predetermined narrative.
1820
01:47:21.239 --> 01:47:23.119
The white male employee.
1821
01:47:22.680 --> 01:47:26.840
Sought a job as deputy real estate editor, according to
1822
01:47:26.880 --> 01:47:30.600
the lawsuit, and lost to a multi racial female candidate
1823
01:47:31.000 --> 01:47:35.399
without direct experience covering real estate, which therefore means that
1824
01:47:35.439 --> 01:47:38.880
she's unqualified. I guess neither race nor gender played a
1825
01:47:38.960 --> 01:47:41.880
role in this decision, Rhota said in a follow up
1826
01:47:41.920 --> 01:47:45.560
statement Tuesday. We hired the most qualified candidate and she
1827
01:47:45.720 --> 01:47:46.840
is an excellent editor.
1828
01:47:50.720 --> 01:47:51.279
This is a.
1829
01:47:51.279 --> 01:47:54.319
Crazy thing, Okay. I hire a lot of people, right,
1830
01:47:54.479 --> 01:47:56.000
You do this too.
1831
01:47:59.079 --> 01:48:01.039
You know, when I get a resume, and what I'm
1832
01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:03.319
looking for is like, do you have the skills that
1833
01:48:03.359 --> 01:48:05.880
I need for you to do this job? And some
1834
01:48:06.039 --> 01:48:09.159
of it might be Okay, this guy's got a lot
1835
01:48:09.159 --> 01:48:14.920
of experience in plumbing and residential plumbing. Is that going
1836
01:48:15.000 --> 01:48:18.720
to translate to what I need, which is commercial plumbing?
1837
01:48:19.079 --> 01:48:22.239
And sometimes the answer is no, it's.
1838
01:48:22.119 --> 01:48:26.840
Not because it's just not the right skill set. Whereas
1839
01:48:26.840 --> 01:48:31.119
somebody who has a lot of experience in commercial HVAC
1840
01:48:31.800 --> 01:48:35.960
might translate into that plumbing role because commercial HVAC and
1841
01:48:36.000 --> 01:48:38.640
commercial plumbing are much more similar things.
1842
01:48:39.960 --> 01:48:41.920
And so with the first.
1843
01:48:41.680 --> 01:48:44.680
Guy, who is a quote unquote plumber, say, it's not
1844
01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:46.920
fair that he didn't get considered for the job.
1845
01:48:47.840 --> 01:48:48.920
But this guy who.
1846
01:48:48.760 --> 01:48:52.520
Isn't a quote unquote plumber did get considered for the job. Me,
1847
01:48:52.600 --> 01:48:55.079
as the employer, I'm just looking at the skill set
1848
01:48:55.119 --> 01:48:57.239
and saying, oh, this is the thing that I need.
1849
01:49:00.079 --> 01:49:03.560
This is bizarre to me. There was one commissioner who
1850
01:49:04.560 --> 01:49:10.439
objected to this. Kalpana Cootagal, the sole Democrat on the commission,
1851
01:49:10.479 --> 01:49:13.560
voted against authorizing the lawsuit. While everyone is entitled to
1852
01:49:13.600 --> 01:49:16.159
employment protection zones of the law, she said in a
1853
01:49:16.199 --> 01:49:19.640
post on social media, the mere existence of a DEI
1854
01:49:19.760 --> 01:49:26.279
policy is not enough to demonstrate misconduct, right. She also
1855
01:49:26.399 --> 01:49:29.520
questioned the motivations behind the lawsuit quote Regrettably, I fear
1856
01:49:29.920 --> 01:49:32.359
this litigation is driven not by the merits, but by
1857
01:49:32.399 --> 01:49:36.000
a desire to advance the administration's political agenda, which we
1858
01:49:36.079 --> 01:49:40.720
can civil rights protections for workers and undermines employer efforts
1859
01:49:40.800 --> 01:49:44.600
to advance equal employment opportunity.
1860
01:49:44.159 --> 01:49:44.880
For white people.
1861
01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:52.319
Yeah, yeah, it's crazy, dude. If you're so qualified, go
1862
01:49:52.359 --> 01:49:54.000
get another job, Like.
1863
01:49:55.399 --> 01:49:57.199
What I get more wages and everything.
1864
01:49:57.239 --> 01:50:01.359
You know, Yeah, how we know that you didn't get
1865
01:50:01.399 --> 01:50:06.479
your real estate editor job that you currently have because
1866
01:50:06.520 --> 01:50:11.640
you're white and this person didn't get a similar job
1867
01:50:11.720 --> 01:50:15.119
because they're not white or male or something.
1868
01:50:15.600 --> 01:50:17.880
I thought he was going to protect the black jobs.
1869
01:50:18.159 --> 01:50:20.680
I thought he yeah, we're what is a black job?
1870
01:50:20.760 --> 01:50:20.880
Right?
1871
01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:26.039
Remember he was like, right, we love black jobs. Real
1872
01:50:26.119 --> 01:50:29.079
estate editor apparently is a black job.
1873
01:50:31.439 --> 01:50:31.640
Dude.
1874
01:50:31.720 --> 01:50:34.720
I don't think I understand this. I'm starting to feel
1875
01:50:34.760 --> 01:50:36.840
like my brain is my mind.
1876
01:50:37.000 --> 01:50:39.760
Yeah, any of these retribution cases, my brain is hurting.
1877
01:50:40.079 --> 01:50:43.159
It's giving me a headache. I'm not getting it. This
1878
01:50:43.239 --> 01:50:46.800
one's about Georgia. Federal judge on Thursday rejected a request
1879
01:50:47.159 --> 01:50:50.279
from local officials in Georgia to order the return of
1880
01:50:50.399 --> 01:50:54.199
key evidence seased in part of the FBI investigation in
1881
01:50:54.239 --> 01:50:54.920
the state's.
1882
01:50:54.640 --> 01:50:56.239
County of the twenty twenty election.
1883
01:50:56.680 --> 01:51:03.000
So we're now nearly seven years after this election, and
1884
01:51:03.039 --> 01:51:05.880
Trump is still trying to prove that he did in
1885
01:51:05.880 --> 01:51:09.720
fact win in twenty twenty in Georgia, which he did not,
1886
01:51:11.279 --> 01:51:15.479
and he needs what eighty one votes.
1887
01:51:16.159 --> 01:51:19.000
An ally confirmed this as well too in camp I
1888
01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:20.199
mean ally of his.
1889
01:51:20.840 --> 01:51:27.239
Yes, right, exactly. The entire Georgia election and governor.
1890
01:51:26.359 --> 01:51:27.840
Office, Secretary of State's office.
1891
01:51:27.880 --> 01:51:31.399
They're all like deep red Republicans, and they all said
1892
01:51:31.439 --> 01:51:34.239
over and over and over, there isn't any fraud here
1893
01:51:34.640 --> 01:51:37.880
and that this has to stop. And Trump's response in
1894
01:51:38.039 --> 01:51:41.039
all of those cases was to label them as traders
1895
01:51:41.119 --> 01:51:43.600
and direct his mob to try to threaten yet, which
1896
01:51:43.680 --> 01:51:46.640
they did, and some of those people ended up getting
1897
01:51:46.680 --> 01:51:50.800
tried and convicted for threatening various election officials in the
1898
01:51:50.840 --> 01:51:56.800
state of Georgia. So of course the FBI cash Bettel's
1899
01:51:56.920 --> 01:52:01.000
FBI goes and gets a warrant and seizes all of
1900
01:52:01.000 --> 01:52:08.039
these ballots and stuff from Georgia, from Fulton County, which
1901
01:52:08.720 --> 01:52:10.680
the only reason they were able to do that is
1902
01:52:10.720 --> 01:52:14.520
because there was a pending lawsuit already going on about this,
1903
01:52:14.680 --> 01:52:19.439
which meant that those ballots, which should have already been started, yeah,
1904
01:52:19.760 --> 01:52:22.439
were still available because they had been preserved as evidence.
1905
01:52:23.399 --> 01:52:25.399
What they used to get.
1906
01:52:25.239 --> 01:52:33.359
The warrant is unclear, but the Fulton County officials went
1907
01:52:33.399 --> 01:52:39.119
to court trying to basically get this stuff back and
1908
01:52:39.159 --> 01:52:43.960
they were told no. US District Judge JP Booley great
1909
01:52:44.039 --> 01:52:48.880
name JP said that he found some aspects of the
1910
01:52:48.920 --> 01:52:52.720
FBI Affidavid submitted to obtain the search warrant quote troubling,
1911
01:52:52.760 --> 01:52:55.319
but he concluded that officials in Fulton County had not
1912
01:52:55.439 --> 01:52:59.920
proven their rights were quote callously disregarded, either through defects,
1913
01:53:00.039 --> 01:53:02.520
and the search weren't obtained to seize the more than
1914
01:53:02.560 --> 01:53:06.199
six hundred boxes of materials related that, including original ballots,
1915
01:53:06.359 --> 01:53:09.119
or through the way that the search was carried out. Basically,
1916
01:53:09.159 --> 01:53:13.520
these guys did they filled out their paperwork right, so
1917
01:53:13.840 --> 01:53:19.520
I can't. Yeah, I think they did work out some
1918
01:53:19.720 --> 01:53:24.840
deal where Fulton County can go through these things electronically
1919
01:53:24.920 --> 01:53:28.640
maybe and see them that way. But you know what's
1920
01:53:28.680 --> 01:53:31.880
happening here, right, The FBI grabbed all this shit. They're
1921
01:53:31.880 --> 01:53:35.039
gonna doctor it up in some way and they're gonna
1922
01:53:35.039 --> 01:53:37.800
claim there was fraud in there and say that no,
1923
01:53:37.880 --> 01:53:41.159
we found the real crime and everything else is just
1924
01:53:41.199 --> 01:53:42.159
trying to cover it up.
1925
01:53:44.560 --> 01:53:45.439
You spot on there.
1926
01:53:46.079 --> 01:53:48.359
I mean, what are we gonna do about that? How
1927
01:53:48.399 --> 01:53:51.119
do you handle that? How do you refute that they've
1928
01:53:51.159 --> 01:53:53.319
got all the evidence. You don't even have the originals
1929
01:53:53.319 --> 01:53:57.399
to say, like, hey, this is what they doctored. I
1930
01:53:57.439 --> 01:54:01.640
hope somebody accidentally copied some of that somewhere. Lordy, lordie,
1931
01:54:01.680 --> 01:54:02.640
I hope there's tapes.
1932
01:54:05.079 --> 01:54:05.319
Hope.
1933
01:54:05.319 --> 01:54:08.520
So okay, let's talk about something you're the expert in.
1934
01:54:08.760 --> 01:54:13.079
Yes, golf, Yeah, golf.
1935
01:54:13.359 --> 01:54:18.239
It's golf, very specific kind of golf, very specific type of.
1936
01:54:19.840 --> 01:54:20.399
There you go.
1937
01:54:20.840 --> 01:54:26.199
You're talking about golf on the public courses, of which
1938
01:54:26.239 --> 01:54:32.359
there are three Federal Park Service YEP, public courses in
1939
01:54:32.439 --> 01:54:35.520
the District of Columbia. So this is the most test
1940
01:54:35.560 --> 01:54:38.000
topic you could imagine.
1941
01:54:37.560 --> 01:54:40.399
Most it is the most And what are those those
1942
01:54:40.439 --> 01:54:42.600
three courses? So they are like I would say, almost
1943
01:54:42.600 --> 01:54:44.479
my home course down the street from where I grew
1944
01:54:44.560 --> 01:54:46.119
up in Rock Creek Park.
1945
01:54:46.359 --> 01:54:48.359
You have Rock Creek Park Course off of sixteenth Street.
1946
01:54:49.199 --> 01:54:54.279
You have the world renowned like I would say, legendary
1947
01:54:55.760 --> 01:55:01.239
Black Course Langston, which sits off of Benning Road. And
1948
01:55:01.279 --> 01:55:04.239
it's really attached to the arboretum in the sense, right,
1949
01:55:04.239 --> 01:55:04.720
so it kind.
1950
01:55:04.600 --> 01:55:07.640
Of yeah extension actually part isn't it a part of
1951
01:55:07.640 --> 01:55:08.079
the Arbury?
1952
01:55:08.239 --> 01:55:10.399
I mean you can, yeah, it's the same thing you
1953
01:55:10.399 --> 01:55:12.520
can't get to, but it's it's a separate thing, but
1954
01:55:12.600 --> 01:55:15.359
it is all of that, Like the grounds of it
1955
01:55:15.399 --> 01:55:16.079
is so part of.
1956
01:55:16.039 --> 01:55:17.880
It, and it's beautiful as a result.
1957
01:55:17.920 --> 01:55:20.399
They're beautiful. Yeah, it's just completely beautiful. And then you
1958
01:55:20.520 --> 01:55:22.319
have which without.
1959
01:55:22.079 --> 01:55:24.720
Any renovations, but they did, they're going through renovations in
1960
01:55:24.720 --> 01:55:27.000
the process of trying to do renovations prior to some
1961
01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:32.159
of this ship. You have East Potomac which aget Pines Point, Yeah,
1962
01:55:32.159 --> 01:55:34.680
which most folks know. I mean that course has been
1963
01:55:34.680 --> 01:55:38.079
there for years, and it's just beautiful, right. It sits
1964
01:55:38.079 --> 01:55:41.640
out into the Potomac. Sometimes it's not the best because
1965
01:55:41.640 --> 01:55:43.680
you know, you might have like a boat horn in
1966
01:55:43.680 --> 01:55:46.479
your back swing, but regardless, like it is a very airplane,
1967
01:55:46.560 --> 01:55:53.760
right or those ones get yeah, the air everyone's it's fine.
1968
01:55:53.800 --> 01:55:55.720
I feel I feel like I've come accustomed to those ones.
1969
01:55:55.760 --> 01:55:57.800
It's just the boat making the sound. It's always a
1970
01:55:58.279 --> 01:56:01.880
it's always a crazy one. What you might not know is, though,
1971
01:56:02.800 --> 01:56:08.439
the connection between the White House's East wing being going
1972
01:56:08.479 --> 01:56:13.399
through its demolition and the specific course East Potomac that
1973
01:56:13.439 --> 01:56:17.359
sits at Haines's Point, and what ended up happening is
1974
01:56:17.800 --> 01:56:21.439
the public golf course had tested positive for lead, chromium
1975
01:56:22.439 --> 01:56:26.399
and other toxic metals, right, and why might this be happening.
1976
01:56:26.399 --> 01:56:30.159
What they're doing is they demolish the east wing. They
1977
01:56:30.159 --> 01:56:34.479
are taking the debris and they are moving it onto
1978
01:56:34.600 --> 01:56:40.119
this golf course now specifically at East Potomac. They have
1979
01:56:40.279 --> 01:56:42.720
three courses, and I want to say this sits on
1980
01:56:42.760 --> 01:56:44.760
the white guess yeah, I want to say this sits
1981
01:56:44.800 --> 01:56:47.199
on the white course. From what I've seen over there,
1982
01:56:47.239 --> 01:56:51.319
I think it's on the White course. So yeah, if
1983
01:56:51.319 --> 01:56:53.600
you're getting you're not aware. Park Service has began dumping
1984
01:56:53.600 --> 01:56:55.920
this debris from the East Wing onto the golf course
1985
01:56:55.960 --> 01:56:59.199
back in October. We have more than thirty thousand cubic
1986
01:56:59.279 --> 01:57:03.960
yards of excavated soil, right, has been transported to the
1987
01:57:04.000 --> 01:57:07.640
site over the last month. And that comes from uh,
1988
01:57:07.680 --> 01:57:09.920
this engineering group out of Virginia, I believe, Yeah, the
1989
01:57:10.000 --> 01:57:13.399
Virginia engineering firm. H well, I forgot the actual name
1990
01:57:13.439 --> 01:57:16.479
of this firm here, but uh, Jacob's Engineering Group, that's
1991
01:57:16.479 --> 01:57:16.840
who it is.
1992
01:57:16.840 --> 01:57:17.039
There.
1993
01:57:18.319 --> 01:57:23.439
Toxic, it's toxic, yeah, and clearly right because the White House,
1994
01:57:23.640 --> 01:57:28.359
you know, it's it's not the newest building in any
1995
01:57:28.399 --> 01:57:30.399
building that you end up I would say, in DC,
1996
01:57:30.720 --> 01:57:34.319
yet you end up demolishing, would end up having a
1997
01:57:34.439 --> 01:57:35.640
toxic chemicals in it.
1998
01:57:35.680 --> 01:57:35.800
Right.
1999
01:57:35.840 --> 01:57:38.840
So there's a nonprofit DC Preservation League. They're suing the
2000
01:57:38.840 --> 01:57:41.920
Trump administration, and they're they're arguing that it's unlawful and
2001
01:57:41.960 --> 01:57:44.920
possibly hazardous clearly, right, it's already been tested.
2002
01:57:45.960 --> 01:57:47.560
And they're charging, which I think is unique.
2003
01:57:47.560 --> 01:57:52.800
They're charging republic administration's takeover of the golf course. And
2004
01:57:53.119 --> 01:57:57.479
there's a lot of legal battles around, uh, just Trump
2005
01:57:57.479 --> 01:58:00.720
and general in the city just when it comes Upublic spaces. Right,
2006
01:58:00.760 --> 01:58:02.800
you got the Kennedy Center, Right, you got this fucking
2007
01:58:03.000 --> 01:58:05.439
arch that he's trying to build next to the Lincoln Memorial.
2008
01:58:05.520 --> 01:58:06.279
And then obviously what.
2009
01:58:06.199 --> 01:58:08.319
He's trying to do with these, with these golf courses
2010
01:58:09.640 --> 01:58:13.720
and the last year, right, the preservation is a file lawsuits, right,
2011
01:58:14.000 --> 01:58:17.159
trying to prevent him from demolishing the East Wing to
2012
01:58:17.159 --> 01:58:19.720
build this ballroom. So again, I mean you might say
2013
01:58:19.720 --> 01:58:22.119
with the ballroom, no, that's a public thing as well too, Right,
2014
01:58:22.159 --> 01:58:26.760
it's the people's house. But the Department of Interior oversees
2015
01:58:27.119 --> 01:58:31.520
all the golf courses, which again does fall under his
2016
01:58:31.760 --> 01:58:34.560
purview in a sense, right, department is I understand it, right,
2017
01:58:34.600 --> 01:58:37.960
there's a justice. I mean, just that's an executive branch.
2018
01:58:38.199 --> 01:58:42.159
Uh, it's under the executive Partment of Interior. Yeah, but
2019
01:58:42.199 --> 01:58:44.159
it's that's under the executive branch.
2020
01:58:44.279 --> 01:58:48.079
Yeah, it's Department of Interior's executive branch. But but it's
2021
01:58:48.119 --> 01:58:52.199
administered by the National National Links.
2022
01:58:52.000 --> 01:58:57.239
Trust Region Yes, by them, and the name contracted that
2023
01:58:57.359 --> 01:59:00.199
out to the National Links Trust, which I would say,
2024
01:59:00.239 --> 01:59:03.800
in using these courses, has done an amazing job actually,
2025
01:59:03.840 --> 01:59:04.840
I will give this.
2026
01:59:04.920 --> 01:59:10.680
Yeah, basically there's there's a nonprofit that's the National Links Trust,
2027
01:59:10.960 --> 01:59:14.600
who administers and runs the course for the Park Service.
2028
01:59:15.119 --> 01:59:17.680
They're the ones that collect the greens fees or whatever,
2029
01:59:17.720 --> 01:59:18.439
and they're the ones.
2030
01:59:18.279 --> 01:59:20.279
Who pay for the upkeep and all of that stuff.
2031
01:59:20.399 --> 01:59:21.199
So the parts.
2032
01:59:23.239 --> 01:59:26.520
Yeah, yeah, the partners is technically in charge, but they're
2033
01:59:26.520 --> 01:59:28.760
not really like out of pocket for any of this.
2034
01:59:29.079 --> 01:59:30.520
Yeah, I mean there are groups.
2035
01:59:30.560 --> 01:59:32.319
I mean I think Langston is obviously one of the
2036
01:59:32.600 --> 01:59:34.840
ones where you'll see that they've not only improved the
2037
01:59:34.880 --> 01:59:38.720
golf course, but specifically like the habitat that's around it,
2038
01:59:38.840 --> 01:59:41.279
so they've removed like a lot of times I would
2039
01:59:41.279 --> 01:59:44.600
play golf, like specifically at Langston you would see like
2040
01:59:44.960 --> 01:59:49.000
local groups kids going down along kind of the watershed
2041
01:59:49.039 --> 01:59:51.479
that's there. It sits off the Anacostia and Langston like
2042
01:59:51.640 --> 01:59:54.960
moving like invasive species and things of that nature.
2043
01:59:54.960 --> 01:59:56.119
They're cutting down stuff.
2044
01:59:56.159 --> 02:00:00.600
So again they they have been improving the course, specifically
2045
02:00:00.680 --> 02:00:03.279
the East Potomac. Though I want to say this initially
2046
02:00:03.319 --> 02:00:07.359
started by saying that they basically haven't been moving fast enough.
2047
02:00:07.159 --> 02:00:08.199
To do the improvements.
2048
02:00:08.239 --> 02:00:12.880
The initial the initial reason is all jumped off, and
2049
02:00:13.000 --> 02:00:13.920
I think that again.
2050
02:00:14.119 --> 02:00:19.840
The initial actor the Trump administration used. Yeah, so the
2051
02:00:20.439 --> 02:00:23.680
it is a cover story. Trump wants to seize control
2052
02:00:23.720 --> 02:00:27.960
of the golf courses, and so his initial attack, of
2053
02:00:28.000 --> 02:00:29.960
course he does, because that's the thing he cares about.
2054
02:00:30.600 --> 02:00:34.960
The initial attack was that the Park Service and the
2055
02:00:35.039 --> 02:00:38.159
Links Trust were not moving fast enough on these renovations
2056
02:00:38.359 --> 02:00:40.319
and that they were doing a bad job of it,
2057
02:00:40.399 --> 02:00:41.960
and that he, of course would be able to do
2058
02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:46.760
a better job of it. And so then they then
2059
02:00:46.760 --> 02:00:49.560
they canceled the lease. That was one of the things
2060
02:00:49.600 --> 02:00:53.760
that they did. And so I think that's also the
2061
02:00:53.800 --> 02:00:57.680
next story on this on the the dock here is
2062
02:00:57.720 --> 02:01:01.920
that they canceled the lease. And then that's now in
2063
02:01:02.199 --> 02:01:08.640
uh in court because a federal judge ordered that they
2064
02:01:08.680 --> 02:01:11.920
had to go back. Basically they oh, no, that was
2065
02:01:11.960 --> 02:01:13.039
about the work stoppage.
2066
02:01:13.079 --> 02:01:14.800
That's the whole other thing.
2067
02:01:14.960 --> 02:01:17.720
There's so many of these trow to keep up, so
2068
02:01:17.920 --> 02:01:20.319
he cancels the least that go that's in court and
2069
02:01:20.359 --> 02:01:23.119
they're fighting about that. Then they start dumping the dirt
2070
02:01:23.159 --> 02:01:25.479
on the course, contaminating it, which I think is part
2071
02:01:25.520 --> 02:01:28.079
of the plan to get the Links canceled, because then
2072
02:01:28.119 --> 02:01:30.279
they're gonna say, oh, well this is now it's contaminated.
2073
02:01:30.319 --> 02:01:32.960
We need to remediate all of this, and we we can't,
2074
02:01:33.039 --> 02:01:36.880
like the propublic, Yeah, we just need to destroy everything
2075
02:01:36.920 --> 02:01:39.600
around here and go through a cleanup phase, which of
2076
02:01:39.600 --> 02:01:43.039
course they've never cared about cleaning up anything environmental anyway. Right,
2077
02:01:43.079 --> 02:01:50.000
And and then there's then there's the question of the
2078
02:01:50.119 --> 02:01:53.279
judges ordered to because like then the Trump people were like, well,
2079
02:01:53.319 --> 02:01:57.159
we're just gonna renovate it without anybody's permission, and so
2080
02:01:57.279 --> 02:01:59.760
then uh, the Links Trust and some other folks went
2081
02:02:00.079 --> 02:02:03.520
dude over that, and the judge basically put a stop
2082
02:02:03.560 --> 02:02:05.800
to it and said, no, you can't do anything. I
2083
02:02:05.800 --> 02:02:07.800
think she had a line in there of like, if
2084
02:02:07.880 --> 02:02:10.479
anything comes to the course that's bigger than my sedan,
2085
02:02:10.560 --> 02:02:15.039
I need to know about it. But I think that's ineffectual.
2086
02:02:15.239 --> 02:02:16.840
I don't see what they're going to be able to
2087
02:02:16.880 --> 02:02:22.119
do if they violate her order, what happens, right, or
2088
02:02:22.439 --> 02:02:25.560
we're at this point again where the court system has
2089
02:02:25.600 --> 02:02:27.920
no method of enforcement.
2090
02:02:29.039 --> 02:02:30.319
About any of this stuff.
2091
02:02:31.840 --> 02:02:36.560
I mean, look, we could talk about the mechanisms here
2092
02:02:36.840 --> 02:02:41.479
all we want. What does this mean to golfers in
2093
02:02:41.520 --> 02:02:45.640
the district and specifically non country club golfers and even
2094
02:02:45.640 --> 02:02:48.600
more specifically black golfers in the district.
2095
02:02:48.840 --> 02:02:50.000
I think it's interesting, right.
2096
02:02:50.039 --> 02:02:54.760
I think you will one see an influx of people
2097
02:02:55.039 --> 02:02:59.479
leaving East Potomac to go to Langston, right, which just
2098
02:02:59.560 --> 02:03:02.279
caused again more it becomes more traffic there. And like
2099
02:03:02.359 --> 02:03:06.039
I actually, oddly enough this year, I haven't played on
2100
02:03:06.079 --> 02:03:07.800
any of these courses yet as I haven't been able
2101
02:03:07.840 --> 02:03:09.399
to find the time, so I haven't even be able
2102
02:03:09.439 --> 02:03:12.079
to see. I've seen it, like driving around there and
2103
02:03:12.079 --> 02:03:14.159
being over in East Potomac Park, but I haven't actually
2104
02:03:14.199 --> 02:03:18.479
been on the courses to see them. I think it
2105
02:03:18.560 --> 02:03:21.079
goes back to the larger thing I think in DC of
2106
02:03:21.560 --> 02:03:25.239
local control, right and at any moment, right, you just
2107
02:03:25.319 --> 02:03:28.319
don't have this type of control, whether it's the council,
2108
02:03:28.479 --> 02:03:32.439
whether it's the links trust like running these things here,
2109
02:03:32.800 --> 02:03:36.079
the federal government is still the boss here no matter
2110
02:03:36.119 --> 02:03:39.319
what and I think you got to always remember that
2111
02:03:39.319 --> 02:03:41.560
because we have an administration that wants to flex that
2112
02:03:41.800 --> 02:03:46.239
and we've had them in the past, they will but yeah,
2113
02:03:46.239 --> 02:03:51.119
I think again, municipal golf for muni golf, right, is
2114
02:03:51.760 --> 02:03:55.279
I think a unique thing in this country. Like it
2115
02:03:55.399 --> 02:03:58.920
allows a game that is obviously really kind of out
2116
02:03:58.920 --> 02:04:00.920
of reach for a lot of people. Right, It's extremely
2117
02:04:00.960 --> 02:04:04.359
expensive to play golf, Like and if you look at
2118
02:04:04.479 --> 02:04:08.199
even even if you look at public courses in other
2119
02:04:08.319 --> 02:04:12.039
places around this area, I mean you could easily spend
2120
02:04:12.039 --> 02:04:15.680
on a weekend one hundred dollars for eighteen holes, like
2121
02:04:15.880 --> 02:04:18.000
upwards of one hundred dollars, like easily.
2122
02:04:18.079 --> 02:04:18.279
Yeah.
2123
02:04:18.319 --> 02:04:21.960
I mean I played the courses in in Northern Virginia
2124
02:04:22.279 --> 02:04:24.840
and the I think the greens fees theres are like,
2125
02:04:25.079 --> 02:04:27.199
you know, thirty five bucks or something like that.
2126
02:04:27.279 --> 02:04:30.800
So if you play a couple of rounds, yeah, exactly. Yeah,
2127
02:04:30.960 --> 02:04:32.600
So you can spend a lot of money on there.
2128
02:04:33.479 --> 02:04:39.199
And you know where if Donald Trump was doing some
2129
02:04:39.479 --> 02:04:42.199
like if he just wanted to, like let's just.
2130
02:04:42.119 --> 02:04:44.199
Say he was a private citizen, right.
2131
02:04:44.479 --> 02:04:46.520
And he was like, hey, you know what guy has,
2132
02:04:47.840 --> 02:04:51.560
It's like philanthropy, Like I want to go ahead in
2133
02:04:51.640 --> 02:04:55.359
here and like assist with like a be an advisor
2134
02:04:55.640 --> 02:04:56.840
to these golf courses.
2135
02:04:57.079 --> 02:04:59.600
You know, I might not have a problem with that. Yeah,
2136
02:04:59.800 --> 02:05:01.840
I'm I just might not have a problem. Yeah.
2137
02:05:01.840 --> 02:05:07.000
Sure, But again, when the president of the United States
2138
02:05:07.560 --> 02:05:13.199
is flexing on the federal district that doesn't have really
2139
02:05:13.239 --> 02:05:17.520
true control. And then specifically with East Potomac Park, like
2140
02:05:17.560 --> 02:05:20.399
I think in that story it mentions the creation of
2141
02:05:20.439 --> 02:05:23.960
this damn park, Like, you might be violating the law
2142
02:05:24.000 --> 02:05:25.399
on that alone, right, where.
2143
02:05:25.239 --> 02:05:28.119
Is it in the story one second?
2144
02:05:28.159 --> 02:05:28.199
On?
2145
02:05:28.319 --> 02:05:28.479
Hey?
2146
02:05:28.479 --> 02:05:31.079
Where I might even in the second story here? But
2147
02:05:31.159 --> 02:05:34.439
basically this park was right when it was created. It's
2148
02:05:34.520 --> 02:05:37.720
literally made for like recreation of people. Right, So in
2149
02:05:37.760 --> 02:05:39.319
the sense, and I think it's in the second story,
2150
02:05:39.399 --> 02:05:43.479
like you you're removing that ability, and that alone might
2151
02:05:43.520 --> 02:05:45.920
be something that the courts catch you on. Again, you
2152
02:05:45.960 --> 02:05:47.840
have the better point in the sense that if the
2153
02:05:47.880 --> 02:05:51.319
courts do rule against him, like what does that mean specifically,
2154
02:05:51.399 --> 02:05:51.680
like with.
2155
02:05:51.640 --> 02:05:53.359
A golf course right of all things?
2156
02:05:53.399 --> 02:05:57.479
Like well, how I mean what if they do rule
2157
02:05:57.520 --> 02:05:59.760
against him and he just does what he wants anyway?
2158
02:06:00.239 --> 02:06:01.760
Yeah, That's what I'm saying, Like I don't, I mean,
2159
02:06:03.960 --> 02:06:07.199
what are you gonna do what can you do? Yeah,
2160
02:06:07.199 --> 02:06:09.680
I don't. I don't think there's any recourse there if.
2161
02:06:09.640 --> 02:06:13.199
He if he violates a judge's order. Right, So she says,
2162
02:06:13.279 --> 02:06:16.960
don't move any heavy equipment onto the course, and they'd
2163
02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:20.439
show up with an excavator tomorrow. She's gonna be like, hey,
2164
02:06:20.520 --> 02:06:25.079
you violated my court order. I'm holding you in contempt.
2165
02:06:25.279 --> 02:06:27.720
And they're gonna be like, all right, who do you
2166
02:06:27.760 --> 02:06:29.159
refer that prosecution to.
2167
02:06:29.319 --> 02:06:31.479
Lady us Marshals? Right?
2168
02:06:32.319 --> 02:06:36.640
No, she sent it to the DOJ to prosecute and
2169
02:06:36.680 --> 02:06:39.760
then be like, Okay, we'll get to that eventually. Click,
2170
02:06:39.880 --> 02:06:42.760
and then they're not going to do it. And then
2171
02:06:42.800 --> 02:06:47.600
there's no contempt actually enforced. There's no mechanism to hold
2172
02:06:47.640 --> 02:06:52.359
the court order. What what Madison and them could never
2173
02:06:52.479 --> 02:06:58.279
conceive of is somebody outright disobeying exactly. It's like, what
2174
02:06:58.279 --> 02:07:00.800
do you mean you just get to not do it?
2175
02:07:01.319 --> 02:07:06.399
So to your point, this is this is supposed to
2176
02:07:06.439 --> 02:07:09.199
be golf that's accessible for the people, and it's and
2177
02:07:09.199 --> 02:07:11.640
and let's let's expand it from not just golf, but
2178
02:07:11.800 --> 02:07:18.159
like all of these public amenities that exist in public places,
2179
02:07:18.239 --> 02:07:20.439
whether it's at the state level or the county level
2180
02:07:20.479 --> 02:07:25.920
or regional level. They exist because recreation is important and
2181
02:07:26.279 --> 02:07:30.000
the community wants these things to be there. Imagine if
2182
02:07:30.079 --> 02:07:32.319
Trump was out here talking about, we need to tear
2183
02:07:32.399 --> 02:07:36.520
up playgrounds because playgrounds are a problem and the way
2184
02:07:36.560 --> 02:07:39.159
that they're being run is a problem, and I don't
2185
02:07:39.239 --> 02:07:41.239
like the look of these playgrounds and they should have
2186
02:07:41.279 --> 02:07:44.319
more gold on them or whatever. Or imagine if it
2187
02:07:44.439 --> 02:07:49.079
was like, you know, the ice rink it for DuPont Park,
2188
02:07:49.279 --> 02:07:52.399
or like, why what are you going after? What is
2189
02:07:52.439 --> 02:07:56.039
the thing here that bothers you? Why are you attacking this?
2190
02:07:56.319 --> 02:07:59.800
And it's not renovation and it's not improvement. He's not
2191
02:08:00.079 --> 02:08:08.279
offering them a boatload of money, you know. It's here's
2192
02:08:08.319 --> 02:08:15.560
an example of how Trump like looks at public amenities.
2193
02:08:16.600 --> 02:08:19.520
There is an ice skating rink in New York in
2194
02:08:19.600 --> 02:08:22.840
Central Park that he used to have his name on
2195
02:08:23.359 --> 02:08:28.920
because they had sponsored the Trump organization had sponsored something,
2196
02:08:29.920 --> 02:08:34.239
you know, at this place. And then they it goes
2197
02:08:34.560 --> 02:08:37.640
for a renovation and it comes out of it and
2198
02:08:37.680 --> 02:08:42.399
they're like, we're gonna we're not gonna have names of
2199
02:08:42.439 --> 02:08:43.079
anybody on.
2200
02:08:43.039 --> 02:08:46.000
The walls or anything anymore, you know, but you can
2201
02:08:46.039 --> 02:08:47.600
still support the park.
2202
02:08:48.119 --> 02:08:50.560
The ice rink if you want to, and Trump goes no,
2203
02:08:50.720 --> 02:08:52.800
and he takes his name right, he takes his money
2204
02:08:52.840 --> 02:08:54.960
out of it all all together because he does it
2205
02:08:55.000 --> 02:08:57.720
never was about the ice skating rink. To him, it
2206
02:08:57.840 --> 02:09:04.520
was just an ad buy. That's his approach to public amenities.
2207
02:09:04.760 --> 02:09:09.119
They're not public, they're just opportunities for him to make
2208
02:09:09.159 --> 02:09:10.479
money or steal money.
2209
02:09:10.600 --> 02:09:13.479
And you know it's interesting here in the case where
2210
02:09:13.600 --> 02:09:17.000
as a business owner, if you do that, right, we
2211
02:09:17.039 --> 02:09:20.600
don't frown upon like naming rights or putting your name
2212
02:09:20.680 --> 02:09:23.760
on shit as a business if you pay for if
2213
02:09:23.840 --> 02:09:26.479
you pay for it, right, right, But when you do
2214
02:09:26.600 --> 02:09:29.600
this in the government, it's just fascism.
2215
02:09:29.920 --> 02:09:32.880
Yeah, authoritarian playbook right at that point time.
2216
02:09:33.239 --> 02:09:36.680
So it's like it's just again it's the venue I
2217
02:09:36.800 --> 02:09:40.840
him putting it on all his buildings have a blast, sure,
2218
02:09:41.319 --> 02:09:44.359
like whatever. But yeah, when you do this in the
2219
02:09:44.399 --> 02:09:46.279
federal government, because again it's.
2220
02:09:46.159 --> 02:09:52.880
Not yours, it's our. Where do the bullets play? Tah? God? Yeah?
2221
02:09:53.079 --> 02:09:54.520
Capital one? Right?
2222
02:09:55.079 --> 02:09:57.680
You know why they play Capital one because they pay
2223
02:09:57.720 --> 02:09:59.800
there's a lot more money than Verizon. And you know
2224
02:09:59.800 --> 02:10:02.319
why they used to pay play at Verizon because they
2225
02:10:02.399 --> 02:10:03.239
paid more money than.
2226
02:10:03.279 --> 02:10:08.760
MC I want business too, Okay, well whatever, Like that's
2227
02:10:08.840 --> 02:10:10.520
not being able to pay more money than I was.
2228
02:10:10.560 --> 02:10:13.319
The Cap Center called us a arena.
2229
02:10:13.000 --> 02:10:14.640
Arena because US Airways was.
2230
02:10:14.720 --> 02:10:17.720
Because US they're paid to put their name on it.
2231
02:10:17.880 --> 02:10:20.039
Trump doesn't pay to put his name on these things.
2232
02:10:20.199 --> 02:10:21.520
He orders his name to be.
2233
02:10:21.520 --> 02:10:22.159
Put on them.
2234
02:10:23.279 --> 02:10:24.399
That's fascist.
2235
02:10:24.800 --> 02:10:25.520
That's fascist.
2236
02:10:26.279 --> 02:10:28.720
And and and you would have thought the golf thing
2237
02:10:28.760 --> 02:10:31.079
would have been this this thing where he could have
2238
02:10:31.199 --> 02:10:35.520
been like, this is an opportunity for him to be
2239
02:10:36.439 --> 02:10:40.960
to gain some brownie points. Yeah, Like he's a golfer, okay,
2240
02:10:41.039 --> 02:10:43.840
he loves He's not a good golfer, he's not.
2241
02:10:43.920 --> 02:10:47.640
And golf is a conservative too across the board for
2242
02:10:47.880 --> 02:10:52.640
most of them, like I would. And I could see
2243
02:10:52.720 --> 02:10:56.079
him going down to Langston on a certain like, on
2244
02:10:56.119 --> 02:11:00.000
a certain vibe, and I think there would be really
2245
02:11:00.119 --> 02:11:04.079
action to folks like you, And it sounds crazy. I
2246
02:11:04.119 --> 02:11:06.680
do think you can see like there would be some
2247
02:11:06.800 --> 02:11:11.680
weird bedfellows on like and again some situation.
2248
02:11:11.399 --> 02:11:14.399
Where Trump shows up at Langston and says, the greens
2249
02:11:14.439 --> 02:11:17.840
fees are on me for today for everybody who plays
2250
02:11:18.319 --> 02:11:21.159
and then goes and plays around the golf, you know,
2251
02:11:21.680 --> 02:11:25.279
and and just as he's going right the clubhouse.
2252
02:11:25.319 --> 02:11:27.319
When he comes back, it's crazy, and and it.
2253
02:11:27.479 --> 02:11:29.560
Just goes to each hole he goes to, and he goes, mind,
2254
02:11:29.560 --> 02:11:32.560
if I join your foursome for for this hole and
2255
02:11:32.640 --> 02:11:36.720
like plays through the whole course, playing a whole at
2256
02:11:36.720 --> 02:11:40.079
a time with different girls would be racy.
2257
02:11:42.760 --> 02:11:47.000
Actually, we do have footage of what I was gonna say.
2258
02:11:47.079 --> 02:11:49.279
Let me show you why he isn't gonna do that,
2259
02:11:49.399 --> 02:11:51.359
Brian doctor footage.
2260
02:11:51.479 --> 02:12:04.880
Here we go. Okay, that was him.
2261
02:12:04.960 --> 02:12:08.560
Damn, I don't know why that. Okay, I watch him fight.
2262
02:12:15.359 --> 02:12:16.079
It's lining up.
2263
02:12:16.239 --> 02:12:30.960
But yeah, and he's all right.
2264
02:12:31.279 --> 02:12:35.640
Unfortunately there's another ball who know that's trying number two?
2265
02:12:38.039 --> 02:12:42.640
Absolutely way off not not not not qualify.
2266
02:12:43.520 --> 02:12:49.399
Yeah at number three, this is why my foot.
2267
02:12:49.960 --> 02:12:54.239
So yeah, he's he's not good. What happens to the
2268
02:12:54.319 --> 02:12:57.039
one black kid? What happened to him?
2269
02:12:57.760 --> 02:12:58.119
I don't know.
2270
02:12:58.319 --> 02:12:59.079
He disappeared.
2271
02:13:01.359 --> 02:13:05.439
He's in Venezuela now, oh god, uh okay, So you
2272
02:13:05.560 --> 02:13:07.680
see that's why he's not doing it right because it
2273
02:13:07.720 --> 02:13:11.399
would expose everything. Instead of having this as an opportunity
2274
02:13:11.399 --> 02:13:13.399
where he could look like a regular guy and be
2275
02:13:13.520 --> 02:13:15.640
fun and cool and people would say, all right, he
2276
02:13:15.680 --> 02:13:17.239
does all this horrible ship. But you know, when he
2277
02:13:17.319 --> 02:13:18.840
had a chance to like connect with the people and
2278
02:13:18.880 --> 02:13:19.880
play golf with him, he did.
2279
02:13:20.359 --> 02:13:21.359
He doesn't want to do that.
2280
02:13:21.520 --> 02:13:24.079
That is what people want from their politicians, which is crazy.
2281
02:13:24.159 --> 02:13:26.279
It is what I want, not what I want, but
2282
02:13:26.399 --> 02:13:28.840
it is what people with. Everybody wants to have a
2283
02:13:28.880 --> 02:13:33.880
beer with w W doesn't drink, but Obama drinks beer
2284
02:13:34.039 --> 02:13:34.760
and he's cool.
2285
02:13:34.840 --> 02:13:38.680
And I guarantee you Obama would play round after round
2286
02:13:38.880 --> 02:13:40.600
at Langton with everybody there.
2287
02:13:40.840 --> 02:13:46.760
And probably rip some cigarettes suit yay, Michelle's.
2288
02:13:46.319 --> 02:13:47.000
Not looking.
2289
02:13:48.760 --> 02:13:50.880
And and he needed to drink a beer two or six,
2290
02:13:51.439 --> 02:13:54.119
you know, I mean, and he pe in the woods.
2291
02:13:54.640 --> 02:13:57.880
I just this is this is a slam dunk for Trump,
2292
02:13:58.000 --> 02:13:59.520
to be honest, there's a way he could have went
2293
02:13:59.560 --> 02:14:03.239
about the I swear that people if he was like,
2294
02:14:03.319 --> 02:14:08.840
if he had an actual genuine approach to this about
2295
02:14:08.920 --> 02:14:12.199
rehability the golf courses, because I think about much money
2296
02:14:12.199 --> 02:14:15.600
he could direct to them, like oh yeah, it'd be crazy.
2297
02:14:16.479 --> 02:14:17.920
It would be a slam dunk.
2298
02:14:18.399 --> 02:14:21.520
It would be It would be so easy for him
2299
02:14:21.640 --> 02:14:27.079
to even personally cut a check to cover like lawn
2300
02:14:27.159 --> 02:14:30.079
care for a year. Yeah, right, he could do that
2301
02:14:30.279 --> 02:14:32.199
and be like, you know what, stick my name on
2302
02:14:32.239 --> 02:14:33.520
the tractors while they're out there.
2303
02:14:33.640 --> 02:14:38.039
That's fine, But like, I just wanted this done really well.
2304
02:14:38.880 --> 02:14:42.119
Yeah, yeah, I had a great year the market. Have
2305
02:14:42.239 --> 02:14:45.159
you seen the stack markets? Over five hundred, the SP
2306
02:14:45.279 --> 02:14:47.640
five hundred, the DAB It's so high. We don't even care.
2307
02:14:47.600 --> 02:14:48.840
About sex offenders anymore.
2308
02:14:49.000 --> 02:14:51.319
It's so high. And like, he could have done that,
2309
02:14:51.880 --> 02:14:56.039
could have done that. He didn't do that, didn't do
2310
02:14:56.119 --> 02:14:57.399
that at all at all.
2311
02:14:57.880 --> 02:15:01.520
Instead he dumped toxic metals on a public golf course.
2312
02:15:02.720 --> 02:15:07.920
It's like a Captain Planet Villain, you know, like in
2313
02:15:08.000 --> 02:15:11.079
that show that like the bad guys, they never had
2314
02:15:11.119 --> 02:15:13.479
any like real motivation. They would just be like, ah,
2315
02:15:13.560 --> 02:15:18.199
I'm gonna destroy this forest haha, and then the planeteers
2316
02:15:18.239 --> 02:15:20.359
would be like, we're gonna stop you from doing it.
2317
02:15:20.479 --> 02:15:23.600
And it wasn't like, well, I'm gonna accidentally destroy this
2318
02:15:23.720 --> 02:15:26.640
forest while plowing in things for farmland because I think
2319
02:15:26.680 --> 02:15:28.399
I can make some money and also feed a bunch
2320
02:15:28.439 --> 02:15:31.239
of people. It wasn't like a a like side effect
2321
02:15:31.279 --> 02:15:34.359
of development. It was just like mean for the sake
2322
02:15:34.439 --> 02:15:37.039
of mean villain. That's kind of what he's doing here.
2323
02:15:37.119 --> 02:15:39.800
He's like, I'm just gonna dump this toxic metal in
2324
02:15:39.880 --> 02:15:42.000
your fucking golf course, you pleabs.
2325
02:15:42.560 --> 02:15:48.920
He is a combination between Hoggish Greedley, Yes Plunder, like
2326
02:15:49.079 --> 02:15:54.560
there you go, and again all the Captain Planet villain
2327
02:15:54.680 --> 02:15:55.680
names were really good.
2328
02:15:55.720 --> 02:15:59.359
I'll give a couple of uh captain Pollution, which is
2329
02:15:59.439 --> 02:16:00.560
just the very other version.
2330
02:16:00.640 --> 02:16:06.800
Yeah, sly sludge, Yes, Duke Nukem, which I didn't know
2331
02:16:07.000 --> 02:16:12.479
was what actually Forgotte forgot about that doctor Blight. Yes,
2332
02:16:13.880 --> 02:16:21.279
classic verminous scum. Yes, lutens Plunder is so good, favorite one.
2333
02:16:23.079 --> 02:16:27.399
Yeah, and really had like a like a piggy snout
2334
02:16:28.439 --> 02:16:31.600
look to him too, right, he looked like a pig.
2335
02:16:31.680 --> 02:16:35.280
Because he looked because August Greedley Trump probably would favor him.
2336
02:16:35.319 --> 02:16:39.319
But again, luten Plunder, as his bio goes by, considers
2337
02:16:39.360 --> 02:16:42.799
himself a suave businessman. He rarely gets his hands dirty. Instead,
2338
02:16:42.840 --> 02:16:45.159
he prefers the lying on others to do the dirty
2339
02:16:45.239 --> 02:16:48.159
work for him while he watches from afar and profits
2340
02:16:48.239 --> 02:16:52.479
from the results. Plunder represents the evils of unethical business action.
2341
02:16:52.799 --> 02:16:54.280
He is what.
2342
02:16:58.360 --> 02:16:58.840
Money is.
2343
02:16:59.000 --> 02:17:03.399
Plunder's main He often finds corruption and weakness and exploits them.
2344
02:17:03.479 --> 02:17:06.680
For his own game. Plunder doesn't care about human or
2345
02:17:06.879 --> 02:17:11.079
environmental suffering so long as cash continues to enter his pockets.
2346
02:17:12.200 --> 02:17:13.360
He is so good.
2347
02:17:13.440 --> 02:17:18.280
This is he tries his hands in most things illegal hunting, poaching, deforestation,
2348
02:17:18.719 --> 02:17:23.440
habitat destruction, and nefarious exploitations of technology.
2349
02:17:23.120 --> 02:17:27.360
Like this show is from the early nineties, by the way,
2350
02:17:28.200 --> 02:17:33.239
before all of this Plunder, Yeah, exactly.
2351
02:17:33.399 --> 02:17:34.399
This is a Ted Turner.
2352
02:17:35.639 --> 02:17:37.760
This is a Tad Turner product, one of my favorite shows.
2353
02:17:37.799 --> 02:17:42.479
Actually play it was so good. I just can't keep
2354
02:17:42.520 --> 02:17:45.719
reading this because it's too spot on. I'm gonna read
2355
02:17:45.799 --> 02:17:47.479
this to somebody and I'm gonna be like, who are
2356
02:17:47.520 --> 02:17:48.239
they talking about?
2357
02:17:48.680 --> 02:17:52.479
Yeah, like who is this person? And this person?
2358
02:17:52.559 --> 02:17:55.600
And they're gonna be like Trump and You're like, no,
2359
02:17:55.760 --> 02:17:59.879
this is a fictitious villain from the Captain Planet.
2360
02:18:00.239 --> 02:18:07.319
Show from nineteen ninety two. That it's so good, man,
2361
02:18:08.319 --> 02:18:10.280
what a what a looting Plunder.
2362
02:18:11.319 --> 02:18:12.959
I think we're going to have to do a Captain
2363
02:18:13.000 --> 02:18:16.239
Planet marathon in honor of the Mouth of the South.
2364
02:18:16.760 --> 02:18:19.399
Oh yeah, hell yeah, all right, Well I think that
2365
02:18:19.559 --> 02:18:22.959
puts us to the end of the show six because Captain.
2366
02:18:22.680 --> 02:18:23.559
Planet is crazy.
2367
02:18:23.959 --> 02:18:25.879

We are Planet Tears. You can do too.
2370
02:18:37.159 --> 02:18:41.159
Yes, the planet is the thing to do. Looting and
2371
02:18:41.280 --> 02:18:48.200
polluting is not the way it has to say, the
2372
02:18:48.479 --> 02:18:49.159
power power.
2373
02:18:50.680 --> 02:18:52.639
Yes, I'm gonna start ending.
2374
02:18:52.559 --> 02:18:55.399
This like man that ship sticks.
2375
02:18:58.840 --> 02:19:03.360
I even't thought that in thirty something years, and it's
2376
02:19:03.440 --> 02:19:07.840
