1
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:16.839
I've seen the fire in our nation's eyes When anger
2
00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:18.260
prowls for.
3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:40.909
Praise I've heard good people draw their lines and call
4
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:42.530
it holy rage.
5
00:00:46.289 --> 00:00:52.350
But the cross was never raised to bless the stones
6
00:00:52.409 --> 00:00:53.250
we throw.
7
00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:57.890
And if mercy leaves.
8
00:00:56.939 --> 00:01:10.040
The There's something wrong down in the soul Words ain't bullets,
9
00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:14.629
but they can hit the same And once a heart
10
00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:18.750
turns cold enough, it forgets what grace is for There's
11
00:01:18.790 --> 00:01:20.129
no room for hate.
12
00:01:22.129 --> 00:01:26.049
In America tonight No room in the home tonight.
13
00:01:27.379 --> 00:01:29.140
Where the children need the.
14
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:33.680
Light No room in the heart.
15
00:01:32.780 --> 00:01:35.680
Where the Savior's supposed to stay.
16
00:01:35.219 --> 00:01:38.040
If Jesus owns the house.
17
00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:41.920
Then hatred don't got no place.
18
00:01:42.099 --> 00:01:47.640
No room for hate Oh, no room for hate No
19
00:01:48.109 --> 00:01:49.810
room for hate.
20
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.810
You can wave a flag above it You can quote
21
00:01:54.870 --> 00:01:58.859
a verse or two You can dress it up like justice,
22
00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:01.819
tell it almost sounds like truth.
23
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:07.290
But our rage ain't righteous when it changes with the side.
24
00:02:07.670 --> 00:02:11.210
And you can't love your neighbor, treating.
25
00:02:10.870 --> 00:02:16.560
Them like they're downrange. We're all image bearers, breath of
26
00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:20.939
God in dust. And you don't heal a broken land
27
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.439
by teaching it not to trust.
28
00:02:23.530 --> 00:02:24.650
There's no room.
29
00:02:24.370 --> 00:02:28.810
For hate in America tonight.
30
00:02:29.110 --> 00:02:34.330
No room in the home where the children need the light.
31
00:02:34.449 --> 00:02:35.330
No room in the home.
32
00:02:37.689 --> 00:02:41.930
Where the Savior's supposed to stay If Jesus owns the
33
00:02:41.990 --> 00:02:43.370
house Then.
34
00:02:43.289 --> 00:02:50.979
Hatred don't got no place No room for hate No
35
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:52.180
room for hate No room for.
36
00:02:52.039 --> 00:03:01.000
Hate Drag it to the cross Lay it in the
37
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.139
ground Let the blood.
38
00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:09.060
Of Jesus Turn the whole thing around Truth can still
39
00:03:09.099 --> 00:03:14.400
be spoken Courage still can stand But rage don't get
40
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:15.780
to rule.
41
00:03:15.379 --> 00:03:22.090
The soul Of a faithful man There's.
42
00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:22.069
No room for hate.
43
00:03:23.930 --> 00:03:27.930
In America tonight No room in the home.
44
00:03:29.270 --> 00:03:33.699
Where the children need the light. No room in the heart.
45
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:34.639
Lord.
46
00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:39.560
Where the Savior's supposed to stay. If Jesus owns the house.
47
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.979
Then hatred don't got no place. Let revival start. Where
48
00:03:46.460 --> 00:03:49.229
the anger breaks. Where the anger breaks. Let healing rise up.
49
00:03:49.229 --> 00:03:55.030
Where the hurt gives way. No room for hate. No
50
00:03:55.669 --> 00:03:57.050
room for hate.
51
00:03:57.389 --> 00:03:57.610
No.
52
00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:00.639
No room for hate.
53
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:09.340
No room for hate Not in Jesus' name Oh, not
54
00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:21.250
in this house Not in this heart Not in his
55
00:04:21.389 --> 00:04:24.410
name No room for.
56
00:04:24.189 --> 00:04:41.100
Hate Remember when entertainment was actually entertaining? When comedy was
57
00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:44.959
about being funny, movies were about telling great stories, and
58
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.740
you didn't need a political lecture every time you hit play.
59
00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:52.180
Great entertainment still exists, it's just getting harder to find.
60
00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:57.470
Even the biggest streaming platforms leave audiences disappointed. That's why

81
00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:28.600
All right, folks, we're about four or five minutes away
82
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.759
from the official beginnings of the Rick Robinson show for
83
00:06:30.779 --> 00:06:32.819
the Friday edition. Before we get into that, I want
84
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:34.459
to talk to you about my good friends over at
85
00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:37.490
Nectar Sleep. If you haven't checked them out yet, you really,
86
00:06:37.569 --> 00:06:39.029
really need to here in a second. I'm going to
87
00:06:39.230 --> 00:06:41.949
be putting a QR code up on the screen that
88
00:06:42.009 --> 00:06:45.449
even gives you an additional discount. Again, check out Nectar Sleep.
89
00:06:45.550 --> 00:06:47.189
I don't know about you guys, but sleep has always
90
00:06:47.209 --> 00:06:50.819
been something that has eluded me until recently. Um, I
91
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:54.509
didn't realize how angry my mattress was making me. I
92
00:06:54.529 --> 00:06:56.230
wake up every morning now and I'm not angry at
93
00:06:56.269 --> 00:06:58.639
my mattress anymore. You should try Nectar Sleep so maybe
94
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.209
you aren't either. Look, I got the full package. Not
95
00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:04.110
going to lie. I got the adjustable base with the massage,
96
00:07:04.170 --> 00:07:07.250
the heating, all the fun stuff, the USB charging ports,
97
00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:09.209
all of those fun things. But you don't necessarily have
98
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.220
to do that. If you want to get the whole package,
99
00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:13.240
it's awesome. I recommend it. But you can also just
100
00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:16.860
check out the mattress. They have a 365-night trial, complete
101
00:07:16.939 --> 00:07:19.620
money-back guarantee, and you still get a hell of a
102
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.199
discount on what I have come to find is my
103
00:07:22.259 --> 00:07:26.199
favorite mattress. My name is Rick Robinson. Nectar Sleep are
104
00:07:26.259 --> 00:07:28.100

discretion is advised.
134
00:09:43.529 --> 00:09:48.620
Long clock barking like it's got a vendetta. Coffee tastes
135
00:09:48.659 --> 00:09:51.370
like bad decisions I ain't made yet.
136
00:09:52.379 --> 00:09:53.830
Boss man talking about what got him.
137
00:09:54.740 --> 00:09:58.429

So suck it.
144

Thank God it's Friday.
145
00:10:25.129 --> 00:10:26.669
Punching out a lot.
146
00:10:27.830 --> 00:10:29.029
Hands in the air.
147
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.120
Middle finger to nine to five.
148
00:10:31.149 --> 00:10:34.639
Still still waiting, but tonight I don't care.
149
00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:38.100
Cold beer sermon and a Boston prayer. Take this job
150
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:38.960
and shove it.
151
00:10:39.059 --> 00:10:39.559
I quit.

Till Monday. Cause tonight I'm free. Yeah, work and wait.
153
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.690
It ain't on in me. Thank God it's Friday. That's
154
00:10:52.750 --> 00:10:53.049
all I know.
155
00:11:18.250 --> 00:11:22.529
HR in the break room sounding like a preacher. Talking
156
00:11:22.580 --> 00:11:28.679
about culture, smiles, and being team players. Clipboard dreams on
157
00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:33.840
the floor, resting light. Selling hours of my life just
158
00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:36.960
to make it to Friday night. Got dirt on my jeans,
159
00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:41.559
grease on my hands. Thank God it's right.
160
00:12:10.110 --> 00:12:13.259
Talk for the people. Talk that's real.
161
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:17.070
The Rick Robinson Show where we say what we feel.
162
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.940
Good Friday afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, except for all of
163
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.090
you living on the left coast, and it's, you know,
164
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.570
y'all live in the past, so what is it, a
165
00:12:39.570 --> 00:12:42.409
little after 10 where you are? Most of you probably
166
00:12:42.429 --> 00:12:44.289
aren't even awake yet. For those of you in God's
167
00:12:44.330 --> 00:12:47.129
time zone, it's just the beginnings of what is our
168
00:12:47.169 --> 00:12:50.059
normal lunch break time around here. So hopefully you've got
169
00:12:50.100 --> 00:12:51.600
me in your ears and you're hanging out with me.
170
00:12:51.659 --> 00:12:52.340
If not, that's okay.
171
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:52.700
Okay.
172
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.820
I won't take it too personally, at least not today anyway.
173
00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:58.600
For those of you on the East Coast, it is
174
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:00.600
past your lunch break, so hopefully you're back at your
175
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.570
computers doing your due diligence, whatever it is that you do,
176
00:13:04.210 --> 00:13:05.789
and still have me in your ears as well. I
177
00:13:05.889 --> 00:13:08.210
am Rick Robinson. This is my show. Don't forget I'll
178
00:13:08.230 --> 00:13:10.470
be back here in just a little bit again with
179
00:13:10.490 --> 00:13:12.950
the weekend news roundup followed by He Said, She Said
180
00:13:13.009 --> 00:13:15.639
later tonight. And I do not know if there will
181
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.340
be a Beer and Bullstein simulcast tonight. I haven't seen
182
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.149
him put anything out yet, so I don't know. Once
183
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.240
I know, y'all will know, but we do have programming
184
00:13:24.379 --> 00:13:27.129
planned for most of the day. If you're just joining us,
185
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.240
you might have missed Jesus for Dummies, our usual Friday
186
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.720
morning podcast now. You're welcome to go check that out later.
187
00:13:33.779 --> 00:13:36.279
The audio version will be up later this afternoon. Video
188
00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:40.159
version is still available everywhere we do video podcasting. Again,
189
00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:43.240
my name is Rick. This is my show. Do we
190
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:45.539
have a bunch of things to talk about? But I
191
00:13:45.580 --> 00:13:49.220
guess before we get too far into anything else, hang on,
192
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.120
let me figure out what I did with something, because
193
00:13:51.139 --> 00:13:53.120
I had something ready to go, and then I, oh,
194
00:13:53.139 --> 00:13:53.509
there it is.
195
00:13:53.990 --> 00:13:54.210
Okay.
196
00:13:54.690 --> 00:13:57.090
I knew I had it somewhere. Hang on. I just
197
00:13:57.129 --> 00:13:59.529
got busy and forgot what I was doing and didn't
198
00:13:59.629 --> 00:14:03.950
finish queuing something up. So, yay, live broadcasting, ladies and gentlemen.
199
00:14:03.970 --> 00:14:06.669
Stay with me for just a second. So, I guess
200
00:14:06.710 --> 00:14:08.509
I'm going to put this on the screen first, because
201
00:14:08.529 --> 00:14:10.070
it's not like I can't talk about this for a
202
00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:12.799
second while I'm doing everything else. But have you guys
203
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:19.850
seen this? This is the Atlanta Falcons logo. Apparently at
204
00:14:19.889 --> 00:14:22.970
some point they decided they needed to change it. I'm
205
00:14:24.750 --> 00:14:26.149
going to see if it's going to bring it on
206
00:14:26.169 --> 00:14:30.549
screen at all. I don't know if it is. Trying, trying.
207
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:32.789
There we go.
208
00:14:33.009 --> 00:14:33.500
Eventually.
209
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:36.759
All right, so there we go. So scariest thing about this, right,
210
00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:40.240
is the same group that keeps yelling about everything being
211
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.679
all Nazis and blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada. Well,
212
00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:47.600
guess what? apparently some folks are starting to think this
213
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.659
sounds or looks an awful lot like some sort of
214
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.299
a Nazi flag. As a matter of fact, I've heard
215
00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:58.250
a rumor. Now, granted, it is only a rumor, but
216
00:14:58.259 --> 00:15:05.830
I've heard a rumor that they plan on changing the team's,
217
00:15:07.049 --> 00:15:11.129
I don't know, I guess professional sports really don't have
218
00:15:11.190 --> 00:15:14.250
fight songs. I guess it's more of their walkout music.
219
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:20.159
But I hear that they plan on maybe changing the
220
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.299
music the team walks out to. And from what I hear,
221
00:15:24.330 --> 00:15:47.840
it may sound a little bit like this. Oh, come on.
222
00:15:47.929 --> 00:15:50.200
I'm the only one that's made that joke today. Yeah,
223
00:15:50.220 --> 00:15:53.320
for those of you who don't know, that's the Nazi
224
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.279
national anthem from when Hitler was in charge. But yeah,
225
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:58.559
I don't know who came up with the idea to
226
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:03.399
do that particular logo, but they were high. They were high.
227
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.120
So yeah, we had to start with that because this
228
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.740
is not going to be a very fun show. I
229
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:13.750
try to have more fun on Fridays. It was not
230
00:16:14.090 --> 00:16:19.899
a school. That was the Atlanta Falcons. So, yeah, anyway.
231
00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:21.179
But, yeah, sure.
232
00:16:21.419 --> 00:16:25.240
Yeah, Atlanta Falcons changed their logo. Looks an awful lot
233
00:16:25.299 --> 00:16:28.299
like some World War II paraphernalia kind of stuff going on,
234
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.970
and not for the good guys either, which seems a
235
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.370
little weird with as amped up and hyped up as
236
00:16:33.870 --> 00:16:37.590
those folks are about all that stuff lately. All right,
237
00:16:37.649 --> 00:16:43.159
so let's get started officially. Officially, officially. I know we're
238
00:16:43.179 --> 00:16:45.539
like 15 minutes in already, and I'm just now saying
239
00:16:45.570 --> 00:16:48.230
we're going to officially get started. But that's kind of
240
00:16:48.250 --> 00:16:52.950
how this show rolls. So my first question for today,
241
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:57.429
because I've been working through all the material that Data
242
00:16:57.470 --> 00:17:01.000
Republican has been publishing this week. And unlike a lot
243
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.860
of folks in the lamestream media, I'm going to make
244
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.880
sure that they get full credit for everything they've done.
245
00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:08.160
But I keep coming back to one question. And this question,
246
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.640
I keep asking myself over and over again. Who is
247
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:14.859
it that ultimately gets to decide whether your government is legitimate?
248
00:17:15.259 --> 00:17:20.700
So we've got people discussing a possible constitutional breakdown, along
249
00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:22.809
with a new founding and a role for governors in
250
00:17:22.849 --> 00:17:26.170
taking over functions of the federal government. That's a pretty
251
00:17:26.210 --> 00:17:28.369
big conversation to have about a country the rest of
252
00:17:28.450 --> 00:17:30.829
us are still living in. And it also sounds an
253
00:17:31.089 --> 00:17:37.130
awful lot like the season four plot of The Last Ship,
254
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.849
where they started officially trying to rebuild the country finally
255
00:17:40.950 --> 00:17:44.750
and all the regional directors decided they wanted to stay
256
00:17:44.789 --> 00:17:51.480
in charge hmm interesting but yeah so we're all still
257
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.839
living here though before anybody says well people have every
258
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.619
right to oppose donald trump of course they do they
259
00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:59.839
can oppose him every day of the week and twice
260
00:17:59.900 --> 00:18:02.480
on sunday for all i'm concerned i'm interested in what
261
00:18:02.529 --> 00:18:05.529
happens when people move from opposing a president to proposing
262
00:18:05.569 --> 00:18:09.150
that the government itself give way to a different arrangement
263
00:18:09.390 --> 00:18:11.430
just because we don't like the current one. And the
264
00:18:11.470 --> 00:18:13.839
scariest thing about this conversation that we're starting to have
265
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.059
is the DSA is already having this conversation out loud.
266
00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:21.440
To me, that's the scariest thing. These are things that
267
00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:25.220
used to be part of what were called tabletop exercises. Basically,
268
00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:27.619
people would say, okay, so what if this happens? What
269
00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:29.940
if this happens? What if this happens? They're now taking
270
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.579
these things that they have been wargaming now for over
271
00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:36.069
a decade, and they're now talking about them out loud
272
00:18:36.230 --> 00:18:38.490
in public and telling everybody what it is that they're
273
00:18:38.509 --> 00:18:41.170
going to do. And then they retreat, they retreat to
274
00:18:41.190 --> 00:18:44.529
these safe space phone calls as they call them and
275
00:18:44.589 --> 00:18:48.049
talk about how it's safe for them to do this here.
276
00:18:48.170 --> 00:18:51.210
So this is where they're going to do it. And that's,
277
00:18:51.269 --> 00:18:59.240
that's their plan over and over and over again. All right.
278
00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:01.460
So I told you guys, we're going to be taking
279
00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:10.880
this stuff kind of in order. And I know we
280
00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:12.319
went through some of this the other day, but I'm
281
00:19:12.339 --> 00:19:13.579
going to still try to get through as much of
282
00:19:13.619 --> 00:19:15.410
this as I can today, because now there have been
283
00:19:15.430 --> 00:19:18.329
a total of six drops. Anything I don't get to
284
00:19:18.390 --> 00:19:21.329
today will be carried over until later or maybe discussed
285
00:19:22.509 --> 00:19:24.849
on the news roundup show. I haven't decided yet, and
286
00:19:24.869 --> 00:19:27.109
I haven't really talked to the gang about what the
287
00:19:27.130 --> 00:19:29.099
plan is for that. But let's go ahead and get
288
00:19:29.150 --> 00:19:32.599
this started here, because we do have lots of stuff
289
00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.000
to cover.
290
00:19:33.019 --> 00:19:37.380
Ooh.
291
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.809
A little bit of both am talk radio format we
292
00:19:45.849 --> 00:19:47.519
have a little bit of everything. It's kind of how
293
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.099
everything's patterned around here. So we've got sports. We've got
294
00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:51.970
stuff that's not sports. We've got a little bit of
295
00:19:52.029 --> 00:19:53.089
everything rolled in between.
296
00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:54.390
And then you've got me.
297
00:19:54.269 --> 00:19:55.930
Who just tries to talk about all of it because
298
00:19:55.950 --> 00:19:56.789
that's what I like to do.
299
00:19:57.410 --> 00:19:58.569
So anyway.
300
00:19:58.990 --> 00:20:14.519
So first things first. Let's get this up on the screen. Alright,
301
00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:22.059
so there's that. Now let's see if it'll play. I
302
00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:26.970
think I have the site muted. Nope, I did not,
303
00:20:27.009 --> 00:20:31.109
but I think I know what I did wrong. Although,
304
00:20:31.190 --> 00:20:36.509
that's not right either. Okay, anyway, let's figure this out.
305
00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:45.779
So why isn't that playing? Oh, I bet you there's
306
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.420
no audio for this part yet. I went through this
307
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:48.789
the other day.
308
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:51.910
So the long story short is that currently I'm teamed
309
00:20:52.029 --> 00:20:55.869
up with the leaders of the Democracy Renewal Group. That's
310
00:20:55.869 --> 00:21:00.529
300 people who used to be USAID people from, you know,
311
00:21:00.569 --> 00:21:04.690
doing democracy work and authoritarian pushback all over the globe.
312
00:21:08.529 --> 00:21:11.230
I'm also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America
313
00:21:11.529 --> 00:21:16.190
and the Marxist Unity Group caucus within DSA. Muggs, the
314
00:21:16.410 --> 00:21:20.609
only caucus in DSA that talks about the need for
315
00:21:20.630 --> 00:21:26.309
a democratic constitution and fought to get language into DSA's
316
00:21:26.349 --> 00:21:30.470
program that says our ultimate goal is a democratic constitution
317
00:21:30.990 --> 00:21:34.890
based on universal and equal suffrage and a unicameral.
318
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:37.390
Legislature.
319
00:21:39.730 --> 00:21:42.309
There for a second just for a second though because
320
00:21:42.609 --> 00:21:47.069
what the hell is universal suffrage none of us has
321
00:21:47.130 --> 00:21:50.069
the same experience while we're on this particular planet ladies
322
00:21:50.130 --> 00:21:52.180
and gentlemen so i don't really know why they keep
323
00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:55.279
saying things like universal suffrage or trying to make us
324
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:59.160
feel like there's things that they are owed i i
325
00:21:59.180 --> 00:22:01.019
really don't get it i really don't get it because
326
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.660
you're not owed anything and as far as a democratic
327
00:22:04.720 --> 00:22:08.150
constitution pretty sure the constitution that we have now is
328
00:22:08.210 --> 00:22:10.670
as close to a democratic constitution as you're ever really
329
00:22:10.690 --> 00:22:13.039
going to get. I understand that there are protections in
330
00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:15.140
there that have designed this country to be a republic,
331
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:19.900
not a democracy, but that's because democracies fail all the time.
332
00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:24.460
That's because mob rule democracy, or basically what is referred
333
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:28.900
to as the popular vote form of democracy, all those
334
00:22:28.940 --> 00:22:30.599
things that they used to have in the Greek Isles,
335
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:33.759
those things fell apart all the time because people changed
336
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.519
their minds faster than a lot of folks change their underwear. Yes,
337
00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:40.579
I know. I'm sorry. I shouldn't, that, that sounded better
338
00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:47.400
in my head, but here we go. But yeah, so,
339
00:22:48.700 --> 00:22:51.039
but yeah, so this is all just crazy to me.
340
00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:53.180
I mean, every, everything you're going to be listening to
341
00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:55.680
as we, as we deep, as we dive deeper into this,
342
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:57.940
and I'd planned on doing this Wednesday night. So for
343
00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:59.599
those of you that were expecting this on Wednesday night,
344
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.299
I apologize. You can ask Steven who's in the chat.
345
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.000
I was, first of all, I didn't even, I had
346
00:23:06.059 --> 00:23:09.299
my weeks flipped around because inquiries and every two week show.
347
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:10.920
And I was thinking that was going to be this
348
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:14.119
coming Wednesday, not Wednesday night. So then as soon as
349
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:16.400
I signed off from doing this show, I went and
350
00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:17.900
ate some lunch. And the next thing I know, I
351
00:23:17.940 --> 00:23:21.000
felt like crap. So, yeah, anyway, so that's why we're
352
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:25.650
doing this now. One, it's important. And two, it's stuff
353
00:23:25.670 --> 00:23:27.369
that I meant to do the other night and didn't.
354
00:23:27.529 --> 00:23:28.019
So here we go.
355
00:23:32.980 --> 00:23:36.789
And I do think it's urgent. I'm foreseeing a crisis
356
00:23:36.849 --> 00:23:43.589
of legitimacy around the November election. Already 20, 25 percent.
357
00:23:44.269 --> 00:23:47.529
Did she take her Ritalin before she got on this call?
358
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:50.099
Just asking.
359
00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:53.700
And if Americans still believe the 2020 election was stolen,
360
00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:57.920
now more and more people on the left are concerned.
361
00:23:59.029 --> 00:24:02.490
about the legitimacy of elections because you know shenanigans that
362
00:24:02.529 --> 00:24:05.869
are happening and last minute changes that are not fully
363
00:24:05.950 --> 00:24:07.250
supported by but.
364
00:24:07.049 --> 00:24:09.450
Our shenanigans are cheeky and fun.
365
00:24:09.819 --> 00:24:11.779
Um i i think we have an opportunity i think
366
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:14.500
the midterms especially if there's a meltdown around the in
367
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.799
in midterms and a crisis of legitimacy could be a
368
00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:23.930
real window of opportunity for us to to say okay
369
00:24:23.950 --> 00:24:27.359
some red rossed And we can say, but, you know,
370
00:24:27.430 --> 00:24:30.940
what we really need to do is transform our system.
371
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:33.799
Let's start a conversation about that. But in order to
372
00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.759
do that in November and take advantage of the meltdown scenario,
373
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:38.960
we have to get super.
374
00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:39.740
Super organized.
375
00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:41.519
Okay, so I'm going to repeat what I said a
376
00:24:41.569 --> 00:24:43.529
second ago because I realized I still had her on
377
00:24:43.549 --> 00:24:45.349
the small screen and you guys couldn't see it very well.
378
00:24:45.930 --> 00:24:49.950
Did she take her Ritalin before this call? Because I'm thinking, no.
379
00:24:51.430 --> 00:24:53.230
Holy Christ, she's bouncing off the walls, dude.
380
00:24:53.410 --> 00:24:56.170
I just did the next... seven months so i think
381
00:24:56.210 --> 00:24:59.849
this is a plan that needs to be on steroids.
382
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:05.900
So yeah i'm gonna pause this right here and just
383
00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:07.720
read to what you to what it says on the
384
00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:10.859
screen for those of you that are listening later so
385
00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.539
pickerel is about to argue that the no kings coalition
386
00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:17.539
defends the current constitution he wants an elected convention to
387
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:20.049
write a new one So for those of you, you
388
00:25:20.089 --> 00:25:22.809
remember when the right was all on board with the
389
00:25:22.930 --> 00:25:26.549
whole convention of the states things? Those of us that
390
00:25:26.630 --> 00:25:30.730
were kind of eh, guys like Pickerel are the reason
391
00:25:30.769 --> 00:25:34.380
why we were kind of eh. Just saying.
392
00:25:39.019 --> 00:25:42.339
The organizations behind No King's Protest are very clear that
393
00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:45.539
they support the Constitution. They want to protect the Constitution.
394
00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:50.160
So we cannot see just... millions of people out there
395
00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:55.920
in the streets as actually some alternative. We have to
396
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:59.259
be the ones who are creating an organization that is
397
00:25:59.299 --> 00:26:02.740
explicitly anti-constitutional. And I don't know if these other.
398
00:26:04.029 --> 00:26:06.190
So just to make sure we're on the same page,
399
00:26:06.630 --> 00:26:09.690
the Democratic Party, who has spent most of the last
400
00:26:10.190 --> 00:26:13.250
decade or more screaming and yelling about Donald Trump and
401
00:26:13.269 --> 00:26:16.470
how it would be a constitutional crisis if he were elected,
402
00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:21.259
And half the things he's doing are unconstitutional, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
403
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:24.640
Since they didn't get the answer or the outcome they wanted,
404
00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:27.539
now they're ready to throw the entire Constitution out and
405
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:31.660
start over. And they're hoping you're angry and disillusioned enough
406
00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:35.089
to go along with them. And if you vote left
407
00:26:35.849 --> 00:26:38.650
in this coming election cycle, you will be proving them right.
408
00:26:39.309 --> 00:26:43.809
I understand what I'm about to say. A lot of
409
00:26:43.849 --> 00:26:46.690
things that people that do this, that I've been doing
410
00:26:46.730 --> 00:26:50.160
now for a while, say, and y'all say this every cycle.
411
00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:53.319
The problem is we weren't wrong. I'm one of the
412
00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:55.559
people who used to make fun of people talking about
413
00:26:55.619 --> 00:26:58.980
how important this election cycle is because it's been said
414
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.099
for longer than I've been doing this, and I've been
415
00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:04.180
in this industry now for going on 20 years in
416
00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:06.869
one form or another. Now, I say all of this
417
00:27:07.089 --> 00:27:11.289
to you To say this, this is, in point of fact,
418
00:27:11.450 --> 00:27:15.160
the most important election of our lifetime, especially because even
419
00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:17.819
if you don't believe that any of the other ones were,
420
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:20.670
and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that,
421
00:27:20.730 --> 00:27:24.309
here's the problem. All of the groundwork for everything that
422
00:27:24.349 --> 00:27:27.710
we're seeing today has been being laid out in all
423
00:27:27.730 --> 00:27:30.009
of those elections where you were rolling your eyes and
424
00:27:30.089 --> 00:27:33.690
scoffing when people that were plugged into this stuff, me included,
425
00:27:33.710 --> 00:27:36.470
because I was one of them, were telling everybody this
426
00:27:36.539 --> 00:27:38.460
is a very important election and you need to go vote.
427
00:27:39.859 --> 00:27:43.539
We didn't listen. Now we're dangerously close to not being
428
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:47.059
able to fix it anymore. I started listening a while ago.
429
00:27:47.450 --> 00:27:50.200
It took the death of my business in 2009 to
430
00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:53.259
start making that a reality for me or the death
431
00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:56.900
of my first business in 2009 to make that a
432
00:27:56.940 --> 00:28:00.119
reality for me. But here we are. And now you've
433
00:28:00.140 --> 00:28:02.740
got these folks who are on one of their little
434
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:05.740
Zoom safe space calls as they call them. And you'll
435
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:07.440
hear that if we get through all the clips today.
436
00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.259
I'm talking about how they need to get rid of
437
00:28:10.339 --> 00:28:14.200
our current constitution and start over. I didn't sign up
438
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.750
for getting rid of our current constitution and starting over.
439
00:28:17.589 --> 00:28:20.769
If we're going to do that, not going to be
440
00:28:20.829 --> 00:28:23.390
because that's what that's because we're going to put the
441
00:28:23.430 --> 00:28:26.089
things in there that these guys want. At least I
442
00:28:26.150 --> 00:28:26.549
hope not.
443
00:28:27.109 --> 00:28:30.019
Organizations are, if we are right.
444
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:38.880
Is that fair to say, Danielle?
445
00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:45.390
Yeah, definitely. We're talking about, um, I mean, the conversation broadly.
446
00:28:45.410 --> 00:28:46.849
Oh, look, squirrel.
447
00:28:47.150 --> 00:28:49.950
That we've started is what happens if we need to
448
00:28:49.990 --> 00:28:54.230
go extra constitutional to create the kind of transformation that
449
00:28:54.269 --> 00:28:55.410
we'd all like to see.
450
00:28:56.069 --> 00:28:58.759
Excuse me. Say what now? What extra what extra extra
451
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:04.539
constitutional you say? OK, so I thought the Constitution was
452
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.660
sacrosanct for you guys like five minutes ago. What happened?
453
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:12.900
What happened? What happened? Somebody explain it to me like
454
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:13.380
I'm five.
455
00:29:15.019 --> 00:29:17.740
And so, you know, we've talked about a sequence of
456
00:29:19.569 --> 00:29:24.589
an important convening, maybe like Continental Congress that actually, you know,
457
00:29:24.670 --> 00:29:27.250
comes up with a declaration that says, here are the
458
00:29:27.289 --> 00:29:30.369
red lines. Like if these red lines in our democracy
459
00:29:30.410 --> 00:29:34.450
are crossed, we will move into an extra constitutional process.
460
00:29:34.470 --> 00:29:37.920
And here's what it looks like, And then maybe you
461
00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:42.180
go right into a constitutional convention or maybe there's a
462
00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:46.529
national dialogue in between that gives some time and space
463
00:29:46.569 --> 00:29:50.970
for people to come together, build the coalition, figure out
464
00:29:51.009 --> 00:29:53.029
what are our shared values, how are we going to
465
00:29:53.650 --> 00:29:56.869
do a constitutional convention? I fear that jumping straight into
466
00:29:56.910 --> 00:30:00.880
a constitutional convention is Too soon before the situation is
467
00:30:00.940 --> 00:30:02.500
ripe could actually be dangerous.
468
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:05.779
I feel like this woman is the perfect case for
469
00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:10.490
exactly what I'm talking about. This is your constitution. She
470
00:30:10.569 --> 00:30:11.890
is your constitution on meth.
471
00:30:12.630 --> 00:30:15.390
I think we can start a path, start to get
472
00:30:15.430 --> 00:30:18.509
us on a path that lands us when the timing
473
00:30:18.569 --> 00:30:23.609
and ripeness are there to a democratic constitutional convention. But
474
00:30:23.630 --> 00:30:26.259
that's the conversation we're having. What's the pathway? What's the
475
00:30:26.299 --> 00:30:31.279
pathway that we need to take? from here to a
476
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:34.240
constitutional reform process, God's support and legitimacy.
477
00:30:36.539 --> 00:30:41.000
Anybody else notice the air quotes? Just me? Just me? Okay,
478
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:41.480
just checking.
479
00:30:41.779 --> 00:30:47.059
So that it's not just sidelined as partisan or, you know,
480
00:30:47.099 --> 00:30:50.309
something that can be easily dismissed or sabotaged.
481
00:30:50.329 --> 00:30:57.190
All right, so that's part one. We're going to get
482
00:30:57.230 --> 00:31:04.730
into the next part here in just a second. I'll
483
00:31:04.750 --> 00:31:06.730
just move over here for right now because it makes
484
00:31:06.750 --> 00:31:11.880
things easier. All right. So, yeah. So that's part one.
485
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:14.500
And there are just so for those of you who
486
00:31:14.539 --> 00:31:23.099
are keeping score, there's like six of these things now. So, yeah,
487
00:31:23.140 --> 00:31:28.369
there's lots of this stuff. There's apparently too much of
488
00:31:28.410 --> 00:31:31.289
this stuff, if I'm being honest with you. And it's
489
00:31:31.329 --> 00:31:34.049
not because I'm not trying to down that a Republican
490
00:31:34.089 --> 00:31:35.970
for the work that she did or anything. There's just
491
00:31:35.990 --> 00:31:39.549
been a lot here. I think that may be part
492
00:31:39.589 --> 00:31:41.009
of what happened. I was going through so much of
493
00:31:41.049 --> 00:31:43.630
her data that next thing I knew my head was
494
00:31:43.690 --> 00:31:48.230
pounding and I was like, dude, I don't feel so good. Honestly,
495
00:31:48.269 --> 00:31:52.089
I think it's about a thousand percent sure that's something
496
00:31:52.109 --> 00:31:53.809
to do with what I ate. But at the same time,
497
00:31:53.829 --> 00:31:58.569
I also have to admit that what we're starting to
498
00:31:58.630 --> 00:32:05.519
talk about is more than enough and should be for everybody. Because, yeah.
499
00:32:05.700 --> 00:32:16.750
All right. So let's see. That was part one. Hang on.
500
00:32:16.789 --> 00:32:26.759
I'm trying to find part two. I thought I had
501
00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:35.849
all of these bookmarked. Okay, so there's part two. And
502
00:32:35.890 --> 00:32:39.130
then that, I don't know. I mean, this is going
503
00:32:39.170 --> 00:32:41.509
to be most of what I wanted to talk about
504
00:32:41.710 --> 00:32:44.220
regarding this stuff anyway, so we may not necessarily have
505
00:32:44.259 --> 00:32:45.839
to go into too much of it, but hang on.
506
00:33:01.950 --> 00:33:08.089
All right, so here is part two. This is from
507
00:33:08.150 --> 00:33:14.019
August 13th, 2026, recorded on Fathom. This is RAD Dialogue.
508
00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:18.599
There's also the path, and John, I think we'll talk
509
00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:20.420
a little bit more about this, is that we end
510
00:33:20.500 --> 00:33:24.799
up in a very acute legitimacy crisis sometime in the
511
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.230
next few months or the next few years where literally
512
00:33:28.210 --> 00:33:32.519
our federal government becomes illegitimate. And in that moment, I believe,
513
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:35.880
and what we know from experiences around the world is
514
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:39.490
that we can take that breakdown moment and leverage it
515
00:33:40.069 --> 00:33:45.109
for a big structural reform, you know, refounding moment.
516
00:33:45.710 --> 00:33:48.289
I wanted to just say that the United Democracy Alliance,
517
00:33:48.329 --> 00:33:52.309
which is a huge coalition of the blocking movement, the
518
00:33:52.390 --> 00:33:54.349
people that are doing all the lawsuits and the civil
519
00:33:54.369 --> 00:33:58.880
resistance and the non-cooperation, they are all organizing and converging
520
00:33:59.390 --> 00:34:01.990
under the banner of what's called the United Democracy Alliance.
521
00:34:02.650 --> 00:34:04.450
And they have developed a set.
522
00:34:04.289 --> 00:34:08.610
Of red lines that are now being refined in terms
523
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:13.300
of indicators and metrics. And they're working on creating a
524
00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:16.900
situation room so that as we go into the midterm election,
525
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:18.119
they're going to be able to.
526
00:34:18.099 --> 00:34:20.500
Provide real-time updates, real-time.
527
00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:25.170
Information to the movement of movements so that we can
528
00:34:25.210 --> 00:34:31.309
respond to whatever might unfold. either in 26 or when
529
00:34:31.630 --> 00:34:34.929
we go into the 28 elections as well, which people
530
00:34:34.969 --> 00:34:36.889
think will be even worse than whatever we're going.
531
00:34:36.829 --> 00:34:41.289
To have to deal with now. So these folks are organizing.
532
00:34:42.269 --> 00:34:45.469
It's being led under the organization called the National Security
533
00:34:45.510 --> 00:34:53.099
Leaders of America. It's 1,600 retired cross-partisan military intelligence diplomats,
534
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:58.070
ambassadors that are all you know, working on protecting our democracy.
535
00:34:58.090 --> 00:35:02.250
These are pro-democracy leaders that are leading all this work
536
00:35:02.349 --> 00:35:03.570
that we.
537
00:35:03.510 --> 00:35:06.030
Are now connected to. I know Ro, you're connected. Danielle
538
00:35:06.050 --> 00:35:10.530
and I are connected. And others are connected for that work.
539
00:35:10.630 --> 00:35:14.010
So what I think RAD is offering uniquely is this
540
00:35:14.050 --> 00:35:19.219
space around the constitutional legitimacy moment and like what are
541
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.000
the ways that we can respond. The memo that we'll
542
00:35:23.019 --> 00:35:27.869
put up in the chat is an options memo that
543
00:35:27.889 --> 00:35:31.869
we created for governors. Because if the federal governments seem
544
00:35:31.889 --> 00:35:35.610
to be illegitimate by whatever crossing of whatever red lines,
545
00:35:35.909 --> 00:35:39.400
and everyone agrees to that, then the governors become the
546
00:35:39.460 --> 00:35:43.980
leading governing authority under the current republic framework.
547
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:47.079
Okay, so we're going to stop right there for a second.
548
00:35:47.099 --> 00:35:48.679
We'll come back to this in a minute. But I
549
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:51.610
want to break down exactly what was just talked about there.
550
00:35:51.670 --> 00:35:54.210
Because if you try to push back on this, They're
551
00:35:54.230 --> 00:35:56.650
going to tell you that you're making a mountain out
552
00:35:56.670 --> 00:35:58.800
of a molehill. They're not the ones that are talking
553
00:35:58.860 --> 00:36:02.380
about instigating any of these red lines or anything else.
554
00:36:02.420 --> 00:36:05.539
They're just putting plans in place in case those red
555
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:09.179
lines are crossed. But the problem is, if you listen
556
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:12.420
to what they're telling you, they're they're getting out and
557
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:14.800
they have been war gaming out exactly what will happen
558
00:36:15.019 --> 00:36:20.349
if and when Republicans retain power this coming cycle, which
559
00:36:21.110 --> 00:36:23.400
I know everybody's I don't think we're going to. I
560
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.119
got to tell you, there's now a total of three
561
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:28.860
different polling groups that I know have been intermingled in
562
00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:32.530
all of this stuff that have been dragging down the
563
00:36:32.690 --> 00:36:37.610
averages for conservative voters everywhere. From everything that I'm seeing
564
00:36:37.710 --> 00:36:41.250
from the persistence on X regarding what's happening in Pennsylvania,
565
00:36:41.750 --> 00:36:46.719
it appears Republicans are setting early voting records. Now, if
566
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:49.579
we all vote early and then there's nobody to show
567
00:36:49.659 --> 00:36:54.690
up on election day, I don't really know. Look, I
568
00:36:54.710 --> 00:36:59.159
get it. Historically speaking, the party that's in power, especially
569
00:36:59.179 --> 00:37:02.699
the party that's controlling all three branches, usually loses in
570
00:37:02.719 --> 00:37:06.599
a midterm. But they can't really say that, though, because
571
00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:09.219
that's really only been the case since the 90s, because
572
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:12.690
the Republicans were almost never in power before the 90s,
573
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.000
except for a couple of times here and there. Most
574
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.039
of the time, it was Democrats in charge all the
575
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:20.960
time of all three parts of the government. Hell, Jimmy
576
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:24.280
Carter had a supermajority when he was elected the first time.
577
00:37:26.539 --> 00:37:26.900
I guess.
578
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:29.409
Sorry, his only time. But then in the midterms, they
579
00:37:29.429 --> 00:37:32.869
lost some. But he still had a majority, a big majority,
580
00:37:32.909 --> 00:37:35.730
especially compared to what Republicans are usually working with today.
581
00:37:36.130 --> 00:37:38.719
For some reason, we in America have decided gridlock is
582
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.599
the way to go. Ninety nine percent of the time,
583
00:37:41.619 --> 00:37:43.559
I would agree with you. This is not one of
584
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:46.239
those times, however, because we would have been able to
585
00:37:46.300 --> 00:37:49.239
have gotten a lot more done this this cycle. and
586
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.980
gotten a lot more things fixed if we weren't fighting
587
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:54.059
our own party for one. I mean, I say our,
588
00:37:54.139 --> 00:37:56.159
I'm not a registered Republican anymore, I haven't been for
589
00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:58.519
quite some time, and as much as I keep telling
590
00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:00.500
myself I need to change back so I can take
591
00:38:01.099 --> 00:38:03.800
part in elections here, I also feel like it gives
592
00:38:03.860 --> 00:38:06.239
me more clout when I start beating up on both
593
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:08.150
sides because I'm not part of either one of them.
594
00:38:09.550 --> 00:38:11.449
And the simple fact of the matter is, ladies and gentlemen,
595
00:38:11.489 --> 00:38:14.110
whether you like it or not, these people are trying
596
00:38:14.150 --> 00:38:15.590
to overthrow the government.
597
00:38:19.369 --> 00:38:19.829
I mean, sure.
598
00:38:20.989 --> 00:38:27.449
Go ahead, Brian. Knock yourself out. But yeah. This is true. See,
599
00:38:27.610 --> 00:38:30.170
Stephen's got a point in the chat. This is where
600
00:38:30.190 --> 00:38:32.449
the Democrats get us every time. Because it's not just
601
00:38:32.489 --> 00:38:34.760
about voting early. We got to remember to vote often.
602
00:38:34.780 --> 00:38:38.699
Because Democrats not only vote early, they vote often. Just saying.
603
00:38:38.940 --> 00:38:39.360
Just saying.
604
00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:40.019
All right.
605
00:38:40.039 --> 00:38:41.820
So we're going to take the first break of the program.
606
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:45.059
Most of the time, the in-show breaks are music breaks only.
607
00:38:45.099 --> 00:38:47.639
It's usually stuff that I have written and then had
608
00:38:47.699 --> 00:38:50.579
friends help me put together or had ai finish polishing
609
00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:53.719
off so yes there is ai involved in my music
610
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:56.559
not because i don't understand music it's not because i
611
00:38:56.599 --> 00:38:58.599
don't like music it's just because i can't play all
612
00:38:58.619 --> 00:39:03.230
the instruments and stuff anyway so yeah now ryan's gonna
613
00:39:03.269 --> 00:39:05.989
leave because i mentioned ai and music anyway so we're
614
00:39:06.010 --> 00:39:08.170
gonna go and do the long one first i think
615
00:39:08.210 --> 00:39:10.250
this is no actually i guess i still have the
616
00:39:10.269 --> 00:39:12.920
first responder ones up so we'll do that first This
617
00:39:13.099 --> 00:39:15.559
is our first break of the program. If you are
618
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:17.940
a first responder, whether you happen to be somebody who
619
00:39:17.980 --> 00:39:22.800
runs towards fires, run towards bullets, loads people into ambulances,
620
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:25.559
or even spends your day with a headset on dealing
621
00:39:25.579 --> 00:39:27.420
with all the stress nobody else wants to deal with,
622
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:33.360
this one's for you. We'll be right back. Oh, I
623
00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:35.480
was wrong. Never mind. Let me fix it then. I
624
00:39:36.260 --> 00:39:40.969
hate it when that happens. I couldn't remember which one
625
00:39:41.010 --> 00:39:43.550
we did the first time, so hang on. Ignore that.
626
00:39:43.590 --> 00:39:46.599
That'll play again later. Here we go.
627
00:40:17.570 --> 00:40:23.679
When the call comes in Somebody answers day or night.
628
00:40:23.889 --> 00:40:29.369
They're already moving calm voices fast hands doing.
629
00:40:29.070 --> 00:40:33.050
The work while the rest of the world freezes.
630
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:38.559
From a headset to a truck from a badge to
631
00:40:38.679 --> 00:40:42.320
a door they don't stop to count the cost they
632
00:40:42.380 --> 00:40:44.900
step in when it matters.
633
00:40:44.380 --> 00:40:46.130
It's not about.
634
00:40:45.929 --> 00:40:57.340
Being seen it's about They're holding the line when.
635
00:40:57.260 --> 00:40:58.059
The lines go dead.
636
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:05.230
Standing their ground when the world goes dark. They're the
637
00:41:05.610 --> 00:41:12.849
calm in the chaos, holding the line through the fire,
638
00:41:12.929 --> 00:41:14.829
the flood, when everything falls.
639
00:41:14.849 --> 00:41:17.429
They don't ask why, they just answer the call.
640
00:41:23.739 --> 00:41:28.360
Before the sirens fade Before the scene is clear Someone's
641
00:41:28.400 --> 00:41:35.010
already making sense of the moment Keeping people alive Keeping
642
00:41:35.050 --> 00:41:39.889
things from getting worse Some run toward danger Some stay
643
00:41:39.929 --> 00:41:40.849
behind and.
644
00:41:40.730 --> 00:41:56.190
Hold it together Bye.
645
00:41:56.210 --> 00:41:56.280
Bye.
646
00:42:20.449 --> 00:42:26.199
When everything falls They don't ask why They just answer
647
00:42:26.219 --> 00:42:31.239
the call Always standing in the gap for us all
648
00:42:31.320 --> 00:42:38.170
This is service This is sacrifice This is how lives
649
00:42:38.489 --> 00:42:47.110
are saved No spotlight No applause Just showing.
650
00:42:53.579 --> 00:42:56.139
They're holding the line.
651
00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:58.699
When the world goes dark When.
652
00:42:58.739 --> 00:43:04.789
Everything's breaking They hold their ground They're the calm in
653
00:43:04.809 --> 00:43:13.849
the chaos Holding the.
654
00:43:11.130 --> 00:43:16.070
Line So we raise our voices For the ones who
655
00:43:16.110 --> 00:43:35.329
stand Every voice, every badge Every helping hand Always standing
656
00:43:35.409 --> 00:43:38.030
in the gap for us all.
657
00:43:39.530 --> 00:43:43.670
For those who run and for those who hold steady.
658
00:43:44.170 --> 00:43:45.760
For those who stay.
659
00:44:09.500 --> 00:44:12.199
And welcome back into the it's finally friday edition of
660
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:15.019
the rick robbins show bz careful that was friendly fire
661
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:18.199
there brother man he's just a smart ass anyway so
662
00:44:18.219 --> 00:44:20.590
welcome back into the program okay so we made it
663
00:44:20.710 --> 00:44:25.929
exactly what 39 minutes in until somebody came into the
664
00:44:25.949 --> 00:44:28.610
youtube side of the channel and started blaming the jews
665
00:44:29.289 --> 00:44:31.590
for all of it so that might be a record
666
00:44:31.630 --> 00:44:34.050
around here we're usually about 10 minutes in before that
667
00:44:34.090 --> 00:44:37.670
happens so Maybe we're starting to weed out some of
668
00:44:37.690 --> 00:44:40.090
the Jew-hating trolls, but apparently we have at least one
669
00:44:40.110 --> 00:44:42.639
still hanging out in the chat. Because apparently, in case
670
00:44:42.679 --> 00:44:47.840
y'all didn't know, in 2027, the U.S. and Israeli intelligence
671
00:44:47.900 --> 00:44:54.889
services will be merging. Yeah, because that's not happening. Trust me,
672
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:57.329
I looked into it, because at first I was like,
673
00:44:57.429 --> 00:45:00.380
that can't be a thing. And yeah, guess what? It's
674
00:45:00.420 --> 00:45:02.719
been debunked. Not talking about it today because it's not
675
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:05.769
on my schedule of things to talk about, but since
676
00:45:05.829 --> 00:45:09.150
it keeps coming up, we may actually do a segment
677
00:45:09.590 --> 00:45:11.099
about that in the next few days because I want
678
00:45:11.119 --> 00:45:13.119
to make sure that I have it researched and prepared
679
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:16.760
properly for those of you that So speaking of which,
680
00:45:16.860 --> 00:45:19.500
before we get back into things, so we're going to
681
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.090
detour from the Data Republic stuff for just a minute,
682
00:45:22.110 --> 00:45:24.550
but only because the clips that I'm about to play
683
00:45:25.130 --> 00:45:27.769
tie into this stuff. But before we do that, I
684
00:45:27.809 --> 00:45:29.429
have to take it a little bit of an aside.
685
00:45:29.449 --> 00:45:31.130
I'm not going to call them out my name, but
686
00:45:31.170 --> 00:45:33.670
last night when I was working, because Jen and Rick
687
00:45:33.690 --> 00:45:37.480
didn't air last night, JR had no voice, so we
688
00:45:37.500 --> 00:45:39.500
didn't wind up doing Jen and Rick last night. So
689
00:45:40.739 --> 00:45:43.719
that being said, I took a minute to check out
690
00:45:44.389 --> 00:45:48.690
another podcaster on X, and was listening for all of
691
00:45:48.769 --> 00:45:52.949
five minutes before they completely botched what SCOTUS has actually
692
00:45:53.090 --> 00:45:58.789
said regarding the continuation of transgender care in prison. So
693
00:45:59.570 --> 00:46:03.469
the Trump administration filed an injunction to have prisons stop
694
00:46:04.030 --> 00:46:11.150
administering transgender care to the prisoners until up to or
695
00:46:11.230 --> 00:46:14.989
until the Supreme Court rules. So the Supreme Court has
696
00:46:15.050 --> 00:46:18.409
not heard the case itself, but they did take action
697
00:46:18.469 --> 00:46:21.090
on the emergency injunction since the lower court said it
698
00:46:21.110 --> 00:46:23.960
had to continue and the Trump administration filed an injunction
699
00:46:24.019 --> 00:46:26.239
trying to get it to at least be paused until
700
00:46:26.699 --> 00:46:30.719
there was a verdict. SCOTUS said, no, you still got
701
00:46:30.739 --> 00:46:33.719
to keep doing the transgender care for now. We can
702
00:46:33.739 --> 00:46:36.050
agree to disagree on whether that's a good idea or not.
703
00:46:36.090 --> 00:46:36.800
I think it's stupid.
704
00:46:37.789 --> 00:46:38.010
But.
705
00:46:38.820 --> 00:46:40.619
The dude that I was listening to for all of
706
00:46:40.619 --> 00:46:44.550
10 minutes last night was like, even the conservative Republican
707
00:46:44.590 --> 00:46:47.610
Supreme Court basically told Donald Trump that he's still got
708
00:46:47.630 --> 00:46:49.590
to keep doing these surgeries. And I'm like, that's not
709
00:46:49.710 --> 00:46:55.409
what they said. That's not what they said. They said,
710
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.199
we haven't heard this case yet, but based on our
711
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.599
understanding and based on the rulings, this is what's going
712
00:47:00.619 --> 00:47:03.340
to happen for right now until we do. That's not
713
00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:06.670
a smackdown from the Supreme Court yet. Do I have
714
00:47:06.750 --> 00:47:09.570
any hope that they're probably not going to smack Trump
715
00:47:09.610 --> 00:47:15.719
around a little bit? No, I really don't. But let's
716
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:23.010
face it. The Supreme Court is going to need PTSD training.
717
00:47:23.110 --> 00:47:25.860
Let's just put it that way. All right, so back
718
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:27.739
to the stuff we're talking about. So remember when we
719
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:30.989
started talking about the red lines and the afraid that
720
00:47:31.030 --> 00:47:32.630
people aren't going to be able to do their jobs
721
00:47:32.710 --> 00:47:34.929
and this, that, and the other? Well, the reason I
722
00:47:34.949 --> 00:47:37.190
keep saying, even though they're not really saying this part
723
00:47:37.269 --> 00:47:42.250
out loud yet, yet, I do believe that they plan
724
00:47:42.429 --> 00:47:47.159
on crossing some of those red lines themselves. And here's
725
00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:48.219
at least some of the proof.
726
00:47:51.090 --> 00:47:53.809
Thinks two years from now, he's going to be president
727
00:47:53.869 --> 00:47:57.639
of the United States. And we need to keep firing pistols,
728
00:47:57.719 --> 00:48:02.079
firing at all time towards this guy, because he is
729
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:05.000
not fit to be a father. He's not fit to
730
00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:07.809
be a husband. He's not fit to be a vice president.
731
00:48:08.329 --> 00:48:11.289
He is not fit to be a father. He's not
732
00:48:11.469 --> 00:48:13.690
fit to be a husband. He's not fit to be
733
00:48:13.710 --> 00:48:17.019
a vice president all the time towards this guy because
734
00:48:17.300 --> 00:48:21.280
he is not fit. Pistols firing at all times. Pistols
735
00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:25.590
firing at all times. Pistols firing at all times towards
736
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:26.230
this guy.
737
00:48:26.250 --> 00:48:28.570
Okay, so yes, I was having a little bit of
738
00:48:28.590 --> 00:48:31.980
fun with the clip. But so this is a left-wing
739
00:48:32.019 --> 00:48:35.880
podcaster who's basically saying, hey, we should have pistols firing
740
00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.690
in this guy's direction all the time. Now, I get it.
741
00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:44.099
She was being hyperbolic, Rick. The problem is your side
742
00:48:44.139 --> 00:48:47.139
doesn't seem to understand that word. You use it a lot.
743
00:48:47.619 --> 00:48:49.989
But since you don't seem to understand it, I'm going
744
00:48:50.010 --> 00:48:51.889
to assume that word does not mean what you think
745
00:48:51.929 --> 00:48:54.010
it means because you use it a lot. And yet
746
00:48:55.130 --> 00:48:59.110
it still happens. Because remember when we kept saying, hey,
747
00:48:59.150 --> 00:49:01.820
you guys saying all these things about all of these
748
00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:05.719
right wing broadcasters and podcasters, you're eventually going to get
749
00:49:05.739 --> 00:49:10.300
people shot. Well, people understand what hyperbole is, Rick. They
750
00:49:10.340 --> 00:49:13.219
really do. They understand it. You're just too stupid.
751
00:49:14.130 --> 00:49:14.309
Yeah.
752
00:49:14.829 --> 00:49:16.869
Problem with that is look at what happened to Charlie Kirk.
753
00:49:17.789 --> 00:49:20.449
Look at what happened to Charlie Kirk. And then tell
754
00:49:20.489 --> 00:49:24.349
me that I'm the stupid one. I mean, go ahead.
755
00:49:24.389 --> 00:49:26.239
It's all right. I can take it. I can take it.
756
00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:47.119
I can take it. But anyway, so yeah. all right
757
00:49:47.500 --> 00:49:51.750
so i don't this was a story i meant to
758
00:49:51.789 --> 00:49:54.329
get to the other day and i didn't so i
759
00:49:54.369 --> 00:49:55.730
guess i'm just gonna go ahead and drop it in
760
00:49:55.750 --> 00:49:57.989
here now because i'm just kind of i don't know
761
00:49:58.010 --> 00:49:59.670
i feel like on fridays i'm starting to do you
762
00:49:59.690 --> 00:50:02.320
guys ever watch godfellas on friday so greg has the
763
00:50:02.380 --> 00:50:04.739
leftover segment i'm starting to feel that way on fridays
764
00:50:05.119 --> 00:50:07.159
because there's so many things that don't make it into
765
00:50:07.179 --> 00:50:09.880
the final show because i always have to compress things
766
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:11.900
for time and i like to add lip too much
767
00:50:13.340 --> 00:50:18.340
so yeah but anyway so I wanted to talk about
768
00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:20.360
this the other day and didn't. So let's talk about
769
00:50:20.380 --> 00:50:24.219
this now because this still just goes into the overall
770
00:50:24.820 --> 00:50:29.559
craziness of this particular political group that we know. So
771
00:50:29.579 --> 00:50:33.679
you guys are probably going to remember this once I
772
00:50:33.699 --> 00:50:35.800
play it. But there's an update.
773
00:50:37.579 --> 00:50:40.119
A Sacramento County man is accused of killing his wife,
774
00:50:40.260 --> 00:50:44.250
then claiming ICE agents took her. Deputies say Jasmine Gill
775
00:50:44.550 --> 00:50:48.380
was last seen September 30th. Her husband, Gurinder Gill, seen
776
00:50:48.400 --> 00:50:52.309
there on your screen, allegedly told investigators ICE agents detained
777
00:50:52.349 --> 00:50:55.110
her while she was checking the mail. But ICE says
778
00:50:55.289 --> 00:50:58.250
that never happened. Investigators say the couple was going through
779
00:50:58.289 --> 00:51:02.150
a divorce and child custody battle. Jasmine's burned remains were
780
00:51:02.190 --> 00:51:05.110
found in El Dorado County. Her husband was arrested Wednesday
781
00:51:05.469 --> 00:51:08.550
on murder charges and is now being held without bail.
782
00:51:09.860 --> 00:51:12.360
I'm sorry. I'm not laughing about the fact that she
783
00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:14.639
was murdered. For those of you that might have just
784
00:51:14.679 --> 00:51:16.949
seen me kind of grinning a little bit on screen
785
00:51:17.389 --> 00:51:20.809
even though it was small because i just had a
786
00:51:20.909 --> 00:51:24.050
thought with the way the newscaster described this what the
787
00:51:24.090 --> 00:51:27.230
husband said oh yeah i snatched her when she would
788
00:51:27.250 --> 00:51:29.409
have to check them so you're you're basically claiming that
789
00:51:29.769 --> 00:51:33.130
i straight up snuggie snatched this chick as she was
790
00:51:33.190 --> 00:51:35.590
checking the mail and then yet it turns out that
791
00:51:35.630 --> 00:51:42.519
we find her charred discard remains later Anybody else starting
792
00:51:42.539 --> 00:51:44.510
to feel like maybe the whole Blame Ice thing has
793
00:51:44.550 --> 00:51:48.630
been a setup for a purge? Just me? Just me?
794
00:51:49.769 --> 00:51:55.269
Just me? I mean, it might just be me.
795
00:51:55.369 --> 00:51:55.789
It's okay.
796
00:51:56.389 --> 00:51:59.550
It's okay if it's just me. It really is. It
797
00:51:59.570 --> 00:52:03.090
really is. And you know what, BZ? To me, this
798
00:52:03.130 --> 00:52:06.780
is the difference between the left and the right right now.
799
00:52:08.139 --> 00:52:10.519
The left doesn't have a binge unless they lean right
800
00:52:10.539 --> 00:52:18.440
into Crazy Town. full bore we have enough actual seasoned
801
00:52:18.500 --> 00:52:21.960
politicians now that rubio actually looks like a better choice
802
00:52:21.980 --> 00:52:25.570
for vice president than vance to a lot of folks
803
00:52:27.969 --> 00:52:30.210
and there will be a primary about this soon enough
804
00:52:31.869 --> 00:52:34.429
so everybody vote accordingly i'm not i'm not telling you
805
00:52:34.449 --> 00:52:37.110
who to vote for that's the thing i never really
806
00:52:37.230 --> 00:52:41.429
try to do that because it's not my it's not
807
00:52:41.469 --> 00:52:43.920
my job My job is to give you the information
808
00:52:43.980 --> 00:52:45.989
and let you make your own decisions. I know the
809
00:52:46.030 --> 00:52:49.449
left hates that because to the left, I'm supposed to
810
00:52:49.489 --> 00:52:52.250
be getting everything ready in spoon-fed format to give them
811
00:52:52.289 --> 00:52:53.929
all the information they need to be able to make
812
00:52:53.989 --> 00:52:57.269
all their informed decisions. That's not my job. My job
813
00:52:57.329 --> 00:52:59.250
is to make you think. My job is to give
814
00:52:59.269 --> 00:53:01.809
you stories that people aren't talking about as much as
815
00:53:01.869 --> 00:53:04.929
possible or even maybe give you different angles on the
816
00:53:05.010 --> 00:53:07.719
ones that people are talking about. so that you can
817
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:10.639
then go do your own research and make your own decisions.
818
00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:13.199
The problem with the left is they don't want to
819
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:16.079
make their own decisions. They want everybody to make their
820
00:53:16.099 --> 00:53:20.960
decisions for them. And the problem with today's right is
821
00:53:21.000 --> 00:53:22.679
some of us on the right are getting the same way.
822
00:53:30.849 --> 00:53:35.349
So here's an interesting little thing that we're going to
823
00:53:35.389 --> 00:53:39.989
get into probably after top of the hour. So there's
824
00:53:40.030 --> 00:53:42.510
been some folks over at town hall and a few
825
00:53:42.570 --> 00:53:47.969
other places that have been investigating where all of these
826
00:53:49.090 --> 00:53:52.710
Epstein attacks are coming from and who's actually bankrolling them.
827
00:53:52.730 --> 00:53:55.889
You know, all the ones the democratic parties jumped onto. Well,
828
00:53:55.969 --> 00:53:57.929
we have an update about that. So we're going to
829
00:53:57.969 --> 00:54:02.889
be getting to that in a second. So, so we'll,
830
00:54:02.909 --> 00:54:07.679
we'll get to that. Let's see. got seven minutes left. Okay.
831
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:09.820
So I am going to do this because I haven't
832
00:54:09.840 --> 00:54:12.059
really done this yet. So for those of you that
833
00:54:12.099 --> 00:54:13.969
have been following along with me for a long time,
834
00:54:14.110 --> 00:54:16.590
you know that 2020 was a bad year for me.
835
00:54:17.630 --> 00:54:21.250
And I started a journey to start trying to improve
836
00:54:21.289 --> 00:54:26.909
my health and everything else. There have been roller coasters, ups, downs, sideways,
837
00:54:27.050 --> 00:54:30.639
everything in between. And then last year I lost my
838
00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:33.869
brother around Thanksgiving and Fell into a pretty good depression
839
00:54:34.210 --> 00:54:39.340
and then got really sick. And then got better for
840
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:42.679
a while and then felt really, really good. And then
841
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:45.519
went to a kid's birthday party back in May of
842
00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:47.820
this past year. And then I was laid up for
843
00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:51.320
almost a month again. So during all of that and
844
00:54:51.380 --> 00:54:53.960
after being nearly bedridden and everything else I've had to.
845
00:54:54.139 --> 00:54:56.039
And for those of you who don't know, I'm already broken.
846
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:02.590
I'm already broken. I have had ambulatory issues. for most
847
00:55:02.650 --> 00:55:05.210
of my life in one form or another, some of
848
00:55:05.269 --> 00:55:07.809
which were brought on through things that I put myself
849
00:55:07.849 --> 00:55:10.150
through when I was younger. And then other things were
850
00:55:10.190 --> 00:55:13.590
brought on through, you know, running towards gunfire and occasionally
851
00:55:14.260 --> 00:55:17.780
bobbing when I should have weaved the easiest way to
852
00:55:17.820 --> 00:55:21.980
put that. So, but yeah, so short answer is after
853
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:25.070
being really sick in may, and this was towards the
854
00:55:25.139 --> 00:55:27.989
end of may and then laid up for most for June,
855
00:55:28.070 --> 00:55:31.230
July and half of August, I finally got in touch
856
00:55:31.250 --> 00:55:34.309
with a friend of mine who is in with a
857
00:55:34.349 --> 00:55:38.230
new group. And yes, I am going to start talking
858
00:55:38.269 --> 00:55:41.070
about this stuff because it does work. I will tell
859
00:55:41.090 --> 00:55:44.579
you up front, it is also one of those mainline,
860
00:55:44.900 --> 00:55:48.679
those marketing things that everybody hates, the MLMs. But here's
861
00:55:48.719 --> 00:55:50.719
the thing, folks. If you've ever owned a business or
862
00:55:50.739 --> 00:55:54.800
paid attention to how a business runs, everything is MLM.
863
00:55:56.179 --> 00:55:59.110
It's just how you use it. So I'm not saying
864
00:55:59.150 --> 00:56:00.769
you got to sign up in the same way that
865
00:56:00.849 --> 00:56:03.949
I did to become a vendor for them. Cause I have, um,
866
00:56:04.250 --> 00:56:07.929
but I w I will be talking soon about some
867
00:56:07.969 --> 00:56:11.239
of these products and, uh, making sure that everybody's aware
868
00:56:11.260 --> 00:56:13.900
of how they work and what they're good for. Most
869
00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:16.239
of them, there are the, most of them are geared
870
00:56:16.260 --> 00:56:19.019
towards women. Uh, I have been sampling the stuff that's
871
00:56:19.059 --> 00:56:22.769
more geared towards men, uh, Women, you guys like your
872
00:56:22.809 --> 00:56:25.969
health routines as complicated as you like your morning makeup routines.
873
00:56:26.150 --> 00:56:31.090
I just want to take some pills, get in some steps.
874
00:56:31.510 --> 00:56:34.829
Not necessarily pills, but maybe some supplements that have stuff
875
00:56:34.869 --> 00:56:36.730
that my body needs in them and things that I
876
00:56:36.750 --> 00:56:38.949
can just take it once in the day and forget
877
00:56:38.989 --> 00:56:41.360
about it or maybe a couple times a day depending
878
00:56:41.460 --> 00:56:44.159
on which ones do what. Y'all women, you got all
879
00:56:44.199 --> 00:56:47.280
kinds of stuff. You got stuff for your coffee. that
880
00:56:47.300 --> 00:56:49.030
you can put in it when you're ready to drink it.
881
00:56:49.090 --> 00:56:50.889
You've got stuff to add to your water so it
882
00:56:50.929 --> 00:56:52.909
doesn't taste like water anymore, and it has all the
883
00:56:52.969 --> 00:56:55.610
electrolytes in it. We'll talk about all that stuff, too,
884
00:56:55.670 --> 00:56:57.769
and I may even have one of the folks that
885
00:56:57.809 --> 00:56:59.630
got me involved in this coming on the show here
886
00:56:59.670 --> 00:57:00.530
soon to talk about.
887
00:57:00.389 --> 00:57:00.789
It as well.
888
00:57:02.949 --> 00:57:05.590
But look, this stuff works. How do I know? Because
889
00:57:05.909 --> 00:57:10.360
I was laid up until August. I started this stuff, actually,
890
00:57:10.380 --> 00:57:12.829
I guess towards the end of July. I started this
891
00:57:12.869 --> 00:57:15.789
stuff at the beginning of August was when I got
892
00:57:15.829 --> 00:57:20.829
my first shipment. It is now October. And yes, I
893
00:57:20.869 --> 00:57:23.590
have still had issues where I haven't felt well, etc.
894
00:57:24.090 --> 00:57:26.769
But I'm back to being able to do chores again
895
00:57:26.849 --> 00:57:30.170
without feeling like I'm dying. I'm able to go more
896
00:57:30.210 --> 00:57:33.429
than a few steps without feeling like I'm dying. Which
897
00:57:33.489 --> 00:57:35.210
means now the other problem that I have is all
898
00:57:35.250 --> 00:57:36.889
the extra weight that I put back on because I
899
00:57:36.949 --> 00:57:39.090
hadn't been ambulatory is going to finally start being able
900
00:57:39.130 --> 00:57:41.909
to go away because... Yes, I'm older now, so it
901
00:57:41.949 --> 00:57:43.730
still hurts to get going in the morning. But now
902
00:57:43.829 --> 00:57:46.869
once I get going, the pain eventually stops. And then
903
00:57:46.889 --> 00:57:48.170
I can do all the things that I used to
904
00:57:48.190 --> 00:57:50.269
be able to do that I now take that I
905
00:57:50.309 --> 00:57:53.849
don't take for granted anymore that I once did. So, yeah,
906
00:57:53.929 --> 00:57:56.389
I'll be talking about that. And that group is Nueva.
907
00:57:56.489 --> 00:57:59.289
I'll be talking about that. I actually start putting out
908
00:57:59.309 --> 00:58:02.739
some short promotional videos probably in the next couple of
909
00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:04.760
weeks because I'm still getting all that stuff put together.
910
00:58:05.829 --> 00:58:07.900
And like I said, anything that I talk about, you
911
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:10.599
guys are welcome to check it out. You're welcome to not. Again,
912
00:58:10.619 --> 00:58:14.400
I don't push things to you because I'm just trying
913
00:58:14.420 --> 00:58:16.480
to get you to buy them. I don't talk about
914
00:58:16.500 --> 00:58:20.090
things unless I've used them and unless they've worked. So far,
915
00:58:20.150 --> 00:58:22.789
these things are. So again, my name is Rick Robinson.
916
00:58:22.869 --> 00:58:24.550
This is my show. We're going to go ahead and
917
00:58:24.610 --> 00:58:27.670
take the top of the hour break because we are
918
00:58:27.690 --> 00:58:31.360
about that point anyway. And then we'll come back and
919
00:58:31.389 --> 00:58:32.619
talk about this other stuff.
920
00:58:34.179 --> 00:58:34.360
Yeah.
921
00:58:34.820 --> 00:58:37.909
I prefer watered, sugared, and fermented. Then you would get
922
00:58:37.969 --> 00:58:40.809
along with most of history, sir. They felt the same
923
00:58:40.849 --> 00:58:43.800
way as you for the longest time. All right, we're
924
00:58:43.820 --> 00:58:45.619
going to take a break. We'll be right back.
925
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:46.699
Stay tuned.
926
00:58:46.719 --> 00:58:47.500
Stay tuned.
927
00:59:12.510 --> 00:59:17.559
They shut the lights down in the city, set the systems.
928
00:59:17.179 --> 00:59:20.599
On the roads, while the same hands.
929
00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:23.309
That broke it hold your paycheck in your hopes.
930
00:59:23.969 --> 00:59:26.210
They'll sell your sweat for silver.
931
00:59:26.349 --> 00:59:31.570
Call your sacrifice relief. But every drop of truth we
932
00:59:31.610 --> 00:59:36.260
bleed writes another line of belief. Freedom isn't free.
933
00:59:36.340 --> 00:59:40.159
It's carved in blood and fire and stone.
934
00:59:40.219 --> 00:59:43.739
The prizes stand tall when they take a kneel and
935
00:59:43.880 --> 00:59:44.559
go home.
936
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:49.940
They can lock up every promise, tax the air we breathe.
937
00:59:50.980 --> 00:59:52.659
They'll never change the.
938
00:59:52.519 --> 00:59:57.099
Hearts of those who still believe Cause.
939
00:59:56.840 --> 01:00:02.690
Freedom, freedom isn't free They preach peace from marble.
940
01:00:02.449 --> 01:00:05.510
Towers While they fence off your front yard They wave
941
01:00:05.530 --> 01:00:07.809
a flag made out of.
942
01:00:07.789 --> 01:00:27.739
Rules They'll mock your faithless greed.
943
01:00:28.400 --> 01:00:31.059
But freedom don't need permission.
944
01:00:31.139 --> 01:00:33.320
It just needs men who bleed.
945
01:00:33.380 --> 01:00:38.699
Freedom isn't free. It's causing blood and fire and stone.
946
01:00:38.780 --> 01:00:41.349
It's the price of standing tall.
947
01:00:41.389 --> 01:00:43.530
They tell you kneel and go home.
948
01:00:44.070 --> 01:00:48.550
They can lock up every promise. Tax the air we breathe.
949
01:00:58.710 --> 01:01:07.150
Freedom Freedom is unfree.
950
01:01:05.429 --> 01:01:10.119
Freedom is unfree It's written in red on history's page
951
01:01:11.119 --> 01:01:15.199
A warning to the tyrants and the cowards of the.
952
01:01:15.219 --> 01:01:18.099
Age They can bury us in.
953
01:01:18.099 --> 01:01:22.280
Silence But the truth still screams.
954
01:01:27.050 --> 01:01:41.050
Freedom is on free Freedom is on free.
955
01:02:03.650 --> 01:02:05.929

being funny, movies were about telling great stories, and you
974
01:03:11.500 --> 01:03:14.110
didn't need a political lecture every time you hit play.
975

1022

And welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome into the Finally Friday
1023
01:08:02.269 --> 01:08:04.340
edition of the Rick Robinson Show. Don't forget, coming up
1024
01:08:04.380 --> 01:08:06.239
here in just a little bit, we'll also have the
1025
01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:08.219
weekend news roundup. Then I should be back at 8.30
1026
01:08:08.219 --> 01:08:11.079
tonight for He Said, She Said with the lovely Aggie Recon.
1027
01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:13.679
We will find out if there is going to be
1028
01:08:13.739 --> 01:08:16.180
a beer in Bullstein tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern. If
1029
01:08:16.220 --> 01:08:18.250
there is, we will have it here. If not, then
1030
01:08:18.430 --> 01:08:20.789
you know why we didn't have anything here. Welcome back
1031
01:08:20.810 --> 01:08:23.989
into the program. Ladies and gentlemen, again, my name is
1032
01:08:24.029 --> 01:08:25.680
my show. We do this one on every Wednesday and
1033
01:08:25.739 --> 01:08:27.779
Friday starting at noon. The reason I only do this
1034
01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:30.319
one on Wednesday and Friday is because there's not a
1035
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:32.100
day of the week somewhere that I'm not involved in.
1036
01:08:32.180 --> 01:08:34.939
Somebody's podcast either in front of this in front of
1037
01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:38.409
the mic behind the scenes somewhere. As a matter of fact,
1038
01:08:38.670 --> 01:08:41.649
if everything goes as planned today, there will be a
1039
01:08:41.689 --> 01:08:44.029
total of five broadcast. I've been involved in in one
1040
01:08:44.090 --> 01:08:47.949
form or another. First, starting with our good friends and
1041
01:08:48.180 --> 01:08:50.829
newest friends. One of our newer contents around here, Jesus
1042
01:08:50.850 --> 01:08:52.649
for Dummies. They've been around for a while, but they're
1043
01:08:52.689 --> 01:08:55.829
now being carried by us. So they've joined the family
1044
01:08:55.869 --> 01:08:58.369
here a couple of months ago. That's Jesus for Dummies.
1045
01:08:58.390 --> 01:09:01.899
That's every Friday morning. starting at around 10 a.m. Eastern time.
1046
01:09:01.939 --> 01:09:04.560
Then we have this one, the Rick Robinson show that
1047
01:09:04.600 --> 01:09:10.069
is every Wednesday. from 1 to 3, and then after
1048
01:09:10.130 --> 01:09:12.470
that one on Fridays, we have the Weekend News Roundup,
1049
01:09:12.670 --> 01:09:16.689
usually with myself, Amy Curtis from Town Hall, usually BZ
1050
01:09:16.750 --> 01:09:20.010
from SHR Media, as well as Brad Slager from Mediaite.
1051
01:09:20.029 --> 01:09:22.189
We all get together and talk about favorite stories of
1052
01:09:22.229 --> 01:09:25.569
the week, funny things the media got wrong, all those
1053
01:09:25.590 --> 01:09:27.810
fun things, usually crammed into about an hour or so,
1054
01:09:28.220 --> 01:09:30.520
so make sure you check that out. And then Beer
1055
01:09:30.529 --> 01:09:34.000
and Bullstein is an SHR Media production that is hosted by.
1056
01:09:35.789 --> 01:09:39.229
A good friend of mine who, kind of like me,
1057
01:09:39.310 --> 01:09:41.289
has some stuff going on, so he's not able to
1058
01:09:41.409 --> 01:09:44.979
always broadcast when scheduled. So we just usually pick him
1059
01:09:45.020 --> 01:09:46.520
up when I can see that he's going to be airing.
1060
01:09:47.260 --> 01:09:49.640
And then we have the lovely Aggie Reekin, who does
1061
01:09:50.159 --> 01:09:52.619
several shows on the network as well. One of them
1062
01:09:52.699 --> 01:09:54.380
with me is on Friday nights, and we do a
1063
01:09:54.399 --> 01:09:56.899
show called He Said, She Said, where basically we kind
1064
01:09:56.970 --> 01:10:00.930
of give our own takes on a particular topic. A
1065
01:10:01.149 --> 01:10:03.149
lot of folks, because of the title, think that one's
1066
01:10:03.170 --> 01:10:06.909
going to be adversarial. It really is not. Anyway, so
1067
01:10:07.329 --> 01:10:09.449
it's more of just us having fun with one another,
1068
01:10:09.489 --> 01:10:11.270
but that's at 8.30 tonight, so make sure you come
1069
01:10:11.289 --> 01:10:13.739
back for that. Alright, so we're going to get through
1070
01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:17.880
this next clip that I left on pause, and then
1071
01:10:17.899 --> 01:10:21.239
we're going to move on to this other story that
1072
01:10:21.279 --> 01:10:23.340
we definitely have to talk about today, because like I said,
1073
01:10:23.399 --> 01:10:24.819
I don't think I'm going to get to all of
1074
01:10:25.189 --> 01:10:27.529
everything today, but anything that I don't get to in
1075
01:10:27.569 --> 01:10:32.210
this particular format will likely be discussed next hour, because
1076
01:10:32.270 --> 01:10:33.329
that's what that one's for, too.
1077
01:10:34.130 --> 01:10:37.909
For Constitution, so This memo was designed for them. We've
1078
01:10:37.949 --> 01:10:41.439
gotten it to governors safeguarding democracy and they're reviewing it
1079
01:10:41.479 --> 01:10:44.500
and considering it. We also have done direct outreach to
1080
01:10:44.539 --> 01:10:50.520
try to get it to governors in Wisconsin, Utah, and
1081
01:10:50.579 --> 01:10:51.420
Washington state.
1082
01:10:51.619 --> 01:10:54.760
I had previously been able to get it while we're
1083
01:10:54.779 --> 01:10:58.560
in the safe space here to the governors of Massachusetts, California.
1084
01:10:59.600 --> 01:11:01.729
He told you, I've been able to get it while
1085
01:11:01.779 --> 01:11:05.250
we're in the safe space here in Illinois.
1086
01:11:06.430 --> 01:11:09.949
Massachusetts didn't want to touch it. California and Illinois both
1087
01:11:10.210 --> 01:11:13.229
were interested in getting involved if someone else would take the.
1088
01:11:13.189 --> 01:11:13.630
Lead on it.
1089
01:11:14.250 --> 01:11:20.489
To make that a credible statement, governors and other leaders
1090
01:11:20.529 --> 01:11:24.000
would need to start making plans now for what functions
1091
01:11:24.060 --> 01:11:26.680
of government they would have to assume, how they would
1092
01:11:27.180 --> 01:11:31.079
coordinate with each other, how they would make out in governments.
1093
01:11:32.659 --> 01:11:34.029
And all the other things they would have to do
1094
01:11:34.050 --> 01:11:37.949
to basically wall off these illegitimate individuals and keep on
1095
01:11:38.010 --> 01:11:39.750
trying to run the country, or at least parts of
1096
01:11:39.770 --> 01:11:44.770
the country, in the absence of a functioning federal government.
1097
01:11:44.810 --> 01:11:47.670
And I really want to emphasize, not a concept for
1098
01:11:47.710 --> 01:11:51.060
a secession. No one is talking about leaving the United States.
1099
01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:54.920
All right.
1100
01:11:56.260 --> 01:11:58.720
So I'm going to replay that last 45 seconds or so.
1101
01:11:58.720 --> 01:11:58.880
Hang on.
1102
01:12:07.779 --> 01:12:09.130
I was going to try to, I don't know if
1103
01:12:09.149 --> 01:12:09.850
it's going to let me.
1104
01:12:09.859 --> 01:12:12.729
That's weird.
1105
01:12:12.750 --> 01:12:14.069
Connected that work.
1106
01:12:14.149 --> 01:12:17.550
So what I think RAD is offering uniquely is this
1107
01:12:17.569 --> 01:12:21.489
space around the constitutional legitimacy moment.
1108
01:12:21.930 --> 01:12:24.189
And like, what are the ways that we can respond?
1109
01:12:24.670 --> 01:12:25.430
The memo that.
1110
01:12:25.350 --> 01:12:28.750
Danielle or I will put up in the chat is
1111
01:12:28.930 --> 01:12:33.010
a memo of an options memo that we created for governor.
1112
01:12:33.750 --> 01:12:36.159
So I wanted to replay that part first. Cause I,
1113
01:12:36.939 --> 01:12:39.439
I thought that was really interesting when they started talking about,
1114
01:12:40.140 --> 01:12:42.239
we're gonna put out a memo that tells you what
1115
01:12:42.260 --> 01:12:50.319
we're gonna do if these things happen. All right, so
1116
01:12:50.359 --> 01:12:52.250
then there's this part. I'm gonna play this part again.
1117
01:12:52.909 --> 01:12:59.130
To make that a credible statement, governors and other leaders
1118
01:12:59.170 --> 01:13:02.630
would need to start making plans now for what functions
1119
01:13:02.689 --> 01:13:05.310
of government they would have to assume, how they would
1120
01:13:05.810 --> 01:13:08.699
coordinate with each other, how they would make outreach to
1121
01:13:08.800 --> 01:13:09.560
foreign governments.
1122
01:13:11.260 --> 01:13:16.039
You guys remember that thing called the Hatch Act? Yeah,
1123
01:13:16.199 --> 01:13:16.640
me too.
1124
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:18.159
All the other things they would have to do to
1125
01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:21.989
basically wall off these illegitimate individuals is, and keep on
1126
01:13:22.029 --> 01:13:23.029
trying to run the country.
1127
01:13:23.189 --> 01:13:25.909
So again, my question is who and when do we
1128
01:13:25.989 --> 01:13:28.170
decide that our, who decides and when do we decide
1129
01:13:28.189 --> 01:13:31.569
that our government is illegitimate? Because I thought the whole
1130
01:13:31.609 --> 01:13:35.680
thing about this was the sanctity of the vote. Now,
1131
01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:39.260
according to the left, we don't need to protect our,
1132
01:13:39.520 --> 01:13:42.960
our elections because our elections are already secure. So if
1133
01:13:43.060 --> 01:13:46.479
that's the case, if that is really what the left believes,
1134
01:13:46.819 --> 01:13:49.930
then why are they tabletopping the, Things like this and
1135
01:13:49.979 --> 01:13:54.630
having discussions like this behind closed doors.
1136
01:13:55.029 --> 01:13:58.710
These parts of the country in the absence of a
1137
01:13:58.750 --> 01:14:01.590
functioning federal government. And I really want to emphasize this
1138
01:14:01.670 --> 01:14:05.069
is not a concept for a secession. No one is
1139
01:14:05.090 --> 01:14:06.970
talking about leaving the United States.
1140
01:14:08.069 --> 01:14:10.600
No, we're just talking about reshaping it in our own
1141
01:14:10.659 --> 01:14:12.520
image because we won't have to leave it because we're
1142
01:14:12.539 --> 01:14:15.989
going to reshape it. But, yeah, so this isn't they
1143
01:14:16.010 --> 01:14:18.069
want to go off and start their own thing. This
1144
01:14:18.130 --> 01:14:20.409
is they want to blow the country up and start over.
1145
01:14:21.789 --> 01:14:24.109
And we're just supposed to be okay with that. I
1146
01:14:24.130 --> 01:14:25.529
don't know about you guys, but I, for one, am
1147
01:14:25.710 --> 01:14:30.069
not okay with that. Same. Not okay with it. Not
1148
01:14:30.109 --> 01:14:33.739
okay with it at all. All right, so before the break,
1149
01:14:34.180 --> 01:14:36.640
I saw this little tidbit and wanted to make sure
1150
01:14:36.659 --> 01:14:38.659
that we talked about it, and I'm trying to figure
1151
01:14:38.699 --> 01:14:46.869
out where it went. Hang on. So, and I hope
1152
01:14:46.909 --> 01:14:49.250
I'm not stealing Amy's thunder because she may actually bring
1153
01:14:49.289 --> 01:14:51.090
this one up. It's one of hers. But this is
1154
01:14:51.149 --> 01:14:53.899
an interesting way to run an accountability campaign. Amy Curtis
1155
01:14:53.909 --> 01:14:57.539
has a story at town hall today about House Majority PAC,
1156
01:14:58.279 --> 01:15:03.659
the PAC, the outside spending group working to elect Democrats.
1157
01:15:03.979 --> 01:15:08.470
The group is using Jeffrey Epstein in its attacks on
1158
01:15:08.510 --> 01:15:11.630
Republican candidates. Remember when I talked about this, there was
1159
01:15:11.670 --> 01:15:14.859
a story coming out. It puts some interesting shading onto
1160
01:15:14.899 --> 01:15:19.430
this whole Epstein stuff. So one of the people helping
1161
01:15:19.909 --> 01:15:24.250
finance the operation, and you may recognize this name, is
1162
01:15:24.329 --> 01:15:28.590
Reid Hoffman. So according to Jake Sherman's October 21 reporting,
1163
01:15:28.630 --> 01:15:32.449
Hoffman gave House Majority PAC eight and a half million
1164
01:15:32.510 --> 01:15:35.300
dollars last quarter, putting him at the top of its
1165
01:15:35.350 --> 01:15:39.149
reported donor list for that period. Curtis reports the group
1166
01:15:39.170 --> 01:15:43.350
has spent approximately $ 2. 33 million on the Epstein-related ads. Now,
1167
01:15:44.189 --> 01:15:46.800
the question that I'm about to ask kind of sort
1168
01:15:46.840 --> 01:15:48.800
of wrote itself when I was putting the notes together.
1169
01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:51.659
What standard does this group apply to its own donors?
1170
01:15:51.840 --> 01:15:55.939
Because House Majority PAC isn't simply saying the public deserves
1171
01:15:55.979 --> 01:15:59.989
more information about Epstein. In its own October 13th announcement,
1172
01:16:00.069 --> 01:16:04.310
it describes an Arizona ad attacking Eli Crane over votes
1173
01:16:04.449 --> 01:16:08.789
concerning Epstein. the files while also criticizing him for accepting
1174
01:16:08.850 --> 01:16:12.829
money from alleged Epstein associates. That donor association is part
1175
01:16:12.850 --> 01:16:17.630
of the PAC's own arguments. So let's examine the association
1176
01:16:17.949 --> 01:16:22.949
on its side of the ledger. Hoffman has acknowledged visiting
1177
01:16:23.050 --> 01:16:27.199
Epstein's island. He has described his dealings with Epstein as
1178
01:16:27.279 --> 01:16:31.979
connected to MIT fundraising and expressed regret for the relationship
1179
01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:36.390
he once had with him. The association continued after Epstein's
1180
01:16:36.390 --> 01:16:40.449
2008 conviction, and yet somehow he now regrets these things.
1181
01:16:41.470 --> 01:16:44.130
So here's the thing that I find interesting. So Donald
1182
01:16:44.149 --> 01:16:48.250
Trump finds out that Epstein is not a very good dude,
1183
01:16:48.770 --> 01:16:52.930
then works with the government and the law enforcement folks
1184
01:16:53.220 --> 01:16:57.159
to get him taken off the board. This guy, who
1185
01:16:57.260 --> 01:17:00.439
is currently funding a lot of the ads that are
1186
01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:05.319
coming out about the whole Epstein Island thing, Suddenly, we're
1187
01:17:05.380 --> 01:17:11.060
finding out he actually has connections to Epstein. Interesting. So
1188
01:17:11.100 --> 01:17:14.340
those facts themselves deserve quite a bit of scrutiny. They
1189
01:17:14.439 --> 01:17:18.720
do not, by themselves, establish that Hoffman participated in Epstein's crimes.
1190
01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:23.390
But at the same time, he was at the island.
1191
01:17:24.149 --> 01:17:26.489
The closest they've ever been able to get Trump to
1192
01:17:26.529 --> 01:17:31.250
the island was on the plane. And I think most
1193
01:17:31.289 --> 01:17:33.289
of those ships were actually after he bought the plane,
1194
01:17:33.470 --> 01:17:44.609
but they still turned to him anyway. Just saying. So
1195
01:17:45.090 --> 01:17:49.109
Hoffman himself has publicly called for the release of the files,
1196
01:17:49.430 --> 01:17:52.670
probably because he understands they're never actually going to get released.
1197
01:17:53.140 --> 01:17:55.539
Here's the thing about the Epstein files, ladies and gentlemen,
1198
01:17:55.560 --> 01:17:57.840
and if this doesn't prove to you that I try
1199
01:17:57.859 --> 01:18:00.079
to be as middle of the road as possible when
1200
01:18:00.140 --> 01:18:02.229
I can, let me be honest with you about what
1201
01:18:02.270 --> 01:18:03.909
we're going to find in the Epstein files. You know
1202
01:18:03.930 --> 01:18:05.029
how I know what we're going to find in the
1203
01:18:05.069 --> 01:18:08.369
Epstein files? Because we already know Congress has a slush fund.
1204
01:18:11.270 --> 01:18:13.909
We're going to find both sides of the aisle hip
1205
01:18:13.930 --> 01:18:16.500
deep in this crap, period. You want to know the
1206
01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:19.039
real reason it hasn't come out yet? It's called mutually
1207
01:18:19.100 --> 01:18:24.060
assured destruction. We practice this in politics and in our
1208
01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:29.000
dealings on the world stage every single day. Mutually assured destruction,
1209
01:18:29.180 --> 01:18:32.699
once it has been verified, usually makes sure triggers don't
1210
01:18:32.739 --> 01:18:38.760
get pulled. Because even if Donald Trump's not in them,
1211
01:18:38.819 --> 01:18:41.560
and I personally don't believe that he is, because why
1212
01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:43.619
else would he have sicked law enforcement on the dude
1213
01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:45.979
in the first place? if he was involved in any
1214
01:18:46.020 --> 01:18:48.689
of this stuff. Because trust me, if he had cut
1215
01:18:48.729 --> 01:18:51.100
some sort of a plea deal or something to turn
1216
01:18:51.180 --> 01:18:56.199
evidence on him everybody would have known we can't keep
1217
01:18:56.239 --> 01:18:58.270
secrets in this country anymore we like to pretend we
1218
01:18:58.279 --> 01:19:01.989
can but with everybody having a computer in their pocket
1219
01:19:02.010 --> 01:19:05.510
that's more powerful than what's in a moon and automatic
1220
01:19:05.850 --> 01:19:08.970
ability to put video out anytime anywhere as long as
1221
01:19:08.989 --> 01:19:11.500
you've got a signal Yeah, secrets aren't a thing anymore.
1222
01:19:13.699 --> 01:19:18.039
Not the way they used to be. But this makes
1223
01:19:18.100 --> 01:19:21.229
the question a lot more specific. If the PAC believes
1224
01:19:21.750 --> 01:19:25.670
those distinctions matter for Hoffman, does it apply comparable distinctions
1225
01:19:26.130 --> 01:19:28.729
to the people featured in its own attack ads? Because
1226
01:19:28.770 --> 01:19:30.829
I'm going to guarantee you it doesn't, or they wouldn't
1227
01:19:30.850 --> 01:19:33.529
be featured in attack ads. So the question is, does
1228
01:19:33.569 --> 01:19:36.189
the nuance arrive only when somebody asks about the man
1229
01:19:36.289 --> 01:19:43.449
writing the $ 8. 5 million check So that's where the consistency
1230
01:19:43.489 --> 01:19:45.859
problem is for me. And here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen,
1231
01:19:45.899 --> 01:19:51.500
this consistency problem isn't just about this. So another interesting
1232
01:19:51.539 --> 01:19:54.840
thing happened just yesterday. So I think what happened was
1233
01:19:55.439 --> 01:19:58.810
the Democrats had an October surprise lined up and then
1234
01:19:58.989 --> 01:20:02.029
a certain somebody died before anybody really knew that was
1235
01:20:02.050 --> 01:20:05.149
going to happen. And then they were like, we can
1236
01:20:05.170 --> 01:20:08.899
still use. In the words of Bill O'Reilly from back
1237
01:20:08.920 --> 01:20:10.640
in the day, fuck it, we'll do it live, because
1238
01:20:10.659 --> 01:20:13.340
that's exactly what they did. They threw a dead man
1239
01:20:13.439 --> 01:20:15.659
under the bus, and instead of having him come out
1240
01:20:15.699 --> 01:20:18.939
of the closet, they had him come out of the coffin. Now,
1241
01:20:18.979 --> 01:20:25.319
here's the thing. Lindsey Graham being effeminate is probably one
1242
01:20:25.359 --> 01:20:28.869
of the worst-kept secrets in Washington, D.C. Now, whether that
1243
01:20:29.010 --> 01:20:35.119
means he actually played for the other team... I don't
1244
01:20:35.140 --> 01:20:37.199
really know. Cause I know a couple, I know a
1245
01:20:37.260 --> 01:20:39.579
few effeminate men who have gotten married over the years.
1246
01:20:39.619 --> 01:20:41.520
I had kids and I'm like, is that just cause they,
1247
01:20:41.560 --> 01:20:44.619
they're trying to cover or are they just that way?
1248
01:20:47.500 --> 01:20:50.000
Cause trust me, there was one. I was thoroughly surprised
1249
01:20:50.039 --> 01:20:53.090
when I found out he married a woman. We worked
1250
01:20:53.100 --> 01:20:55.069
together for years. And from the way he carried himself,
1251
01:20:55.130 --> 01:20:56.609
I was just waiting for the day that he was like,
1252
01:20:56.630 --> 01:20:57.409
Ooh girl.
1253
01:20:57.869 --> 01:20:57.970
Yeah.
1254
01:20:58.010 --> 01:21:00.270
And it never happened. And the next thing I years
1255
01:21:00.350 --> 01:21:03.199
after we stopped working together, I found out he went
1256
01:21:03.220 --> 01:21:05.779
and married a girl. And I'm like, I really thought
1257
01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:08.699
you and I were playing for different teams. I'm really confused.
1258
01:21:09.060 --> 01:21:12.500
But anyway, he's also not here to defend himself. So
1259
01:21:12.539 --> 01:21:14.060
I'm not going to say too much more about that
1260
01:21:14.079 --> 01:21:15.939
because sadly he passed away a couple of years ago.
1261
01:21:16.699 --> 01:21:20.529
But that's where the consistency problem is, because as long
1262
01:21:20.590 --> 01:21:22.329
as they're getting what they want out of it, they
1263
01:21:22.350 --> 01:21:26.590
don't care who they throw under the bus. Lindsey Graham,
1264
01:21:26.909 --> 01:21:29.250
even if he is gay, I'm sorry, I thought we
1265
01:21:29.289 --> 01:21:31.689
moved on from all that. You guys have had legalized
1266
01:21:31.729 --> 01:21:35.989
gay marriage now for forever. And the funniest thing is
1267
01:21:36.210 --> 01:21:38.529
it's now a lot of the lesbians are the ones
1268
01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:40.140
that are pissed off and say maybe this was a
1269
01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:43.220
terrible idea. Because you know what they figured out? The
1270
01:21:43.260 --> 01:21:48.399
women are the problem. Look at the statistics. There's what,
1271
01:21:48.439 --> 01:21:53.920
about 12% divorce rate among homosexual male married couples? They're
1272
01:21:53.960 --> 01:21:57.220
still above 40 to 50% divorce rate with the lesbians.
1273
01:21:58.979 --> 01:22:00.970
Turns out maybe men weren't the problem after all. Because
1274
01:22:00.979 --> 01:22:03.869
you know what? We will stay in a relationship even
1275
01:22:03.930 --> 01:22:06.010
if it's making us miserable because we made a promise.
1276
01:22:06.369 --> 01:22:08.470
You know how I know? I'm trying to do it
1277
01:22:08.510 --> 01:22:12.789
now in two different marriages. That's how I know. But
1278
01:22:12.810 --> 01:22:15.609
that's where the consistency problem is. These people are only
1279
01:22:15.649 --> 01:22:19.869
cheerleading for whatever minorities they can cheerlead for until they're
1280
01:22:19.890 --> 01:22:22.590
no longer useful or until those people are no longer breathing.
1281
01:22:22.649 --> 01:22:25.649
Because the funniest, it's not even that they threw Lindsey
1282
01:22:25.680 --> 01:22:28.760
Graham under the bus and basically said, hey, did you
1283
01:22:28.800 --> 01:22:32.020
know this Republican guy is a faggot? Because that's pretty
1284
01:22:32.060 --> 01:22:34.960
much how they put it without saying the actual word.
1285
01:22:35.180 --> 01:22:37.260
And YouTube, if I offended you, I don't really care.
1286
01:22:39.319 --> 01:22:43.340
It wasn't just that. It was sex workers are workers too.
1287
01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:47.800
Oh my God, Lindsey Graham hired sex workers. Wait, which
1288
01:22:47.880 --> 01:22:51.250
one is it? Sex workers are people too? Or sex
1289
01:22:51.289 --> 01:22:55.010
work is bad? Because you know what? One of the
1290
01:22:55.029 --> 01:22:57.369
reasons I have kind of stayed a small L libertarian
1291
01:22:57.930 --> 01:22:59.869
is I think we need to get the government out
1292
01:22:59.890 --> 01:23:04.789
of everybody's business. Life would be so much simpler if
1293
01:23:04.829 --> 01:23:07.399
we didn't keep trying to rescue the stupid people. Take
1294
01:23:07.460 --> 01:23:10.260
all the labels off of everything. Let Darwin sort itself out.
1295
01:23:11.239 --> 01:23:15.729
Let Darwin sort it all out. I know that to
1296
01:23:15.739 --> 01:23:19.909
some is going to be a very hate-filled statement. But
1297
01:23:20.350 --> 01:23:22.710
for the same people who believe in survival of the
1298
01:23:22.750 --> 01:23:28.909
fittest to then be mad because I say we exercise
1299
01:23:28.970 --> 01:23:34.649
survival of the fittest. I don't really understand your problem,
1300
01:23:34.689 --> 01:23:39.590
but here we are. So as far as the Epstein stuff,
1301
01:23:40.069 --> 01:23:44.069
I really do want the record released. I've always said that.
1302
01:23:44.680 --> 01:23:46.560
I know it's never going to happen because, again, it's
1303
01:23:46.600 --> 01:23:49.220
a case of mutually assured destruction. We know this. But
1304
01:23:49.260 --> 01:23:51.680
what I want is the records to be released with
1305
01:23:51.739 --> 01:23:56.020
victims' privacy protected. I want credible evidence investigated. If a
1306
01:23:56.079 --> 01:23:59.909
Republican committed a crime, prosecute that Republican. If a Democrat
1307
01:23:59.970 --> 01:24:03.930
committed a crime, prosecute the Democrat. A donor's preferred party
1308
01:24:04.029 --> 01:24:09.939
shouldn't determine how closely anybody examines the evidence. But political
1309
01:24:09.979 --> 01:24:13.779
advertising often works by stopping a few steps short of
1310
01:24:13.800 --> 01:24:17.020
an actual allegation and letting the viewer supply the rest.
1311
01:24:18.420 --> 01:24:22.239
Put a politician's face on the screen, per se. Connect
1312
01:24:22.279 --> 01:24:26.229
a donor to notorious criminal activities or a notorious criminal.
1313
01:24:26.850 --> 01:24:33.569
Add ominous music. and leave the audience with an impression
1314
01:24:33.630 --> 01:24:36.310
that allows them to draw their own conclusions, and you've
1315
01:24:36.369 --> 01:24:40.029
normally steered them to the conclusion you wanted them to make.
1316
01:24:40.430 --> 01:24:43.479
So if you're going to use that technique against somebody else,
1317
01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:47.399
expect people to examine your donor list. There's a financial
1318
01:24:47.460 --> 01:24:52.199
distinction to keep straight here, pun intended. This is a
1319
01:24:52.340 --> 01:24:55.600
donation to a super PAC that spends money influencing elections.
1320
01:24:55.930 --> 01:25:00.569
We're not necessarily establishing that Hoffman personally wrote those checks
1321
01:25:00.609 --> 01:25:05.250
to each candidate, directed at a particular ad, or coordinated
1322
01:25:05.289 --> 01:25:10.840
with a particular campaign. The funding still matters, however. A
1323
01:25:10.899 --> 01:25:15.800
major donor helps sustain organizations buying the advertising. Voters are
1324
01:25:15.840 --> 01:25:20.770
entitled to know that while they evaluate the message. And
1325
01:25:21.250 --> 01:25:24.090
add a sponsor as well as a target. The sponsor's
1326
01:25:24.149 --> 01:25:28.479
choices are fair subjects for scrutiny as well. And I
1327
01:25:28.539 --> 01:25:31.920
think House Majority PAC could answer this without sending anybody
1328
01:25:31.960 --> 01:25:35.810
through a maze of press statements. But they won't. It
1329
01:25:36.619 --> 01:25:40.829
needs to explain how it evaluates donors, Epstein's connections, to
1330
01:25:40.869 --> 01:25:43.850
those donors and why they don't talk about them, explain
1331
01:25:43.890 --> 01:25:47.750
why Hoffman's accounts and expressions of regret satisfy whatever standard
1332
01:25:48.029 --> 01:25:50.489
it uses, like it ever had standards to begin with,
1333
01:25:50.989 --> 01:25:55.079
then tell voters whether that same standard was applied before
1334
01:25:55.100 --> 01:25:58.640
the group produced its ads. Those would be useful answers.
1335
01:25:59.079 --> 01:26:04.100
Calling the questions a distraction wouldn't necessarily supply them, however.
1336
01:26:04.479 --> 01:26:08.189
This is also a fair question for candidates benefiting from
1337
01:26:08.329 --> 01:26:11.630
this spending. Do you agree with the argument the PAC
1338
01:26:11.710 --> 01:26:15.409
is making about donor associations? If you do, explain how
1339
01:26:15.449 --> 01:26:18.189
you apply it consistently. If you think the ad goes
1340
01:26:18.229 --> 01:26:22.680
too far, you need to say so. A candidate can
1341
01:26:22.720 --> 01:26:27.100
support disclosure without endorsing every institution or insinuation made by
1342
01:26:27.140 --> 01:26:30.859
an outside group. And a survivor calling for answers shouldn't
1343
01:26:30.899 --> 01:26:34.680
have to answer for a PAC's fundraising choices. The responsibility
1344
01:26:34.739 --> 01:26:37.960
for those choices belong to the people that are making
1345
01:26:38.039 --> 01:26:42.439
said choices. Curtis also pointed to Shannon Tyler, the Democrat
1346
01:26:42.479 --> 01:26:46.970
running in Virginia's 1st District, who has benefited from HMP spending.
1347
01:26:47.739 --> 01:26:51.390
Taylor has called for releasing the files protecting survivors' privacy
1348
01:26:51.449 --> 01:26:55.109
and holding accountable people who committed crimes or helped conceal them.
1349
01:26:55.770 --> 01:26:59.010
Those are defensible goals. A useful follow-up would be to
1350
01:26:59.109 --> 01:27:02.930
ask whether she agrees with the PAC's treatment of donor association,
1351
01:27:03.550 --> 01:27:10.010
including how it would evaluate Hoffman. She can explain those
1352
01:27:10.109 --> 01:27:14.109
distinctions rather than letting an outside group's advertising speak for her.
1353
01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:18.619
That would give voters an actual position to evaluate, which
1354
01:27:18.739 --> 01:27:22.319
is almost impossible these days. It would also move the
1355
01:27:22.359 --> 01:27:26.079
discussion beyond the implication that a name appearing beside Epstein
1356
01:27:26.119 --> 01:27:29.810
is enough to establish wrongdoing. That's why the issue deserves
1357
01:27:29.850 --> 01:27:33.569
better than another round of selective outrage. The survivor's demand
1358
01:27:33.590 --> 01:27:36.390
for accountability should be able to and does stand on
1359
01:27:36.430 --> 01:27:39.470
its own, in my opinion. It doesn't need a campaign
1360
01:27:39.510 --> 01:27:42.729
committee deciding which connections are useful to mention and which
1361
01:27:42.770 --> 01:27:47.039
are inconvenient. Hoffman's support for releasing the files also deserves
1362
01:27:47.079 --> 01:27:50.000
to be reported. It would be misleading to suggest that
1363
01:27:50.060 --> 01:27:53.859
his donation itself proves an effort to suppress disclosure. The
1364
01:27:53.899 --> 01:27:57.869
sharper question remains that the same one raised by the
1365
01:27:57.909 --> 01:28:01.409
PAC's own advertising and their use of the advertising dollars.
1366
01:28:01.850 --> 01:28:06.109
How much does an association establish and does the answer
1367
01:28:06.220 --> 01:28:09.960
change depending on whose campaign benefits? Eight and a half
1368
01:28:09.979 --> 01:28:13.520
million dollars. That's a rather substantial reason to ask that question.
1369
01:28:14.020 --> 01:28:17.619
It shouldn't become a reason to stop asking. House Majority
1370
01:28:17.659 --> 01:28:22.000
PAC has invited voters to follow the money behind its opponents.
1371
01:28:22.520 --> 01:28:26.079
Voters can follow the money behind House Majority PAC, too. That,
1372
01:28:26.180 --> 01:28:28.689
ladies and gentlemen, is part of the very same accountability
1373
01:28:28.729 --> 01:28:31.770
that we are talking about today. All right, so we're
1374
01:28:31.800 --> 01:28:34.149
going to get ready for the break. Give me just
1375
01:28:34.149 --> 01:28:36.939
a moment here because I just realized I got to
1376
01:28:36.939 --> 01:28:47.560
do something. So one moment, please. If you grew up
1377
01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:50.359
in Oklahoma and you think it's still bad, then you
1378
01:28:50.380 --> 01:28:52.039
probably never should have been here in the first place,
1379
01:28:52.079 --> 01:28:56.220
my friend. Because I've lived all over the country and
1380
01:28:56.340 --> 01:28:59.239
I would never want to live anywhere else. Just so
1381
01:28:59.279 --> 01:29:04.569
you know. So, I'm sorry. Let me know on the
1382
01:29:04.609 --> 01:29:07.479
dolly where Oklahoma has hurt you. We'll be right back
1383
01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:10.500
after the military tribute for the break. Stay tuned.
1384
01:29:53.340 --> 01:29:58.640
Before the oath was spoken out loud Before you stood.
1385
01:29:58.359 --> 01:30:01.770
Apart Not for glory, not for the pay, but for
1386
01:30:01.869 --> 01:30:05.000
something worth more than walking away.
1387
01:30:05.020 --> 01:30:31.479
They carried the weight Where the roads ran long. Through
1388
01:30:31.500 --> 01:30:34.380
dust and heat. When the days went on.
1389
01:30:35.100 --> 01:30:38.159
Holding ground mile after mile.
1390
01:30:39.159 --> 01:30:42.920
Doing the work that rarely drew a smile.
1391
01:30:43.000 --> 01:30:45.939
They stood their post when relief ran late.
1392
01:30:47.020 --> 01:30:52.989
Shoulders squared under the pool of fate. Not chasing headlines.
1393
01:30:53.529 --> 01:30:54.670
Not asking why.
1394
01:30:55.449 --> 01:30:58.600
Just staying put. When others pass by.
1395
01:30:59.159 --> 01:31:08.039
We stand watch in different ways. Different nights, the same
1396
01:31:08.100 --> 01:31:15.810
long days. One old spoken carried through. Wherever duty calls
1397
01:31:15.949 --> 01:31:18.710
us to. Maybe.
1398
01:31:21.310 --> 01:31:23.529
We stand watch over the deep.
1399
01:31:26.470 --> 01:31:28.130
They kept their watch where.
1400
01:31:27.949 --> 01:31:32.289
The water turns black, miles from shore with no quick
1401
01:31:32.369 --> 01:31:35.189
way back, measuring.
1402
01:31:34.649 --> 01:31:37.090
Time by the rise and the fall.
1403
01:31:37.869 --> 01:31:41.470
Answering Judy's unrelenting call.
1404
01:31:41.810 --> 01:31:44.930
Through silent hours and endless seas.
1405
01:31:45.689 --> 01:31:49.239
They stood their post in the cold night breeze.
1406
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:52.640
Guarding the lanes the world depends on.
1407
01:31:53.380 --> 01:31:59.390
So others slept and the lights stayed on.
1408
01:31:59.470 --> 01:32:05.390
We stand the watch in different ways. Different nights, the
1409
01:32:05.449 --> 01:32:06.750
same long days.
1410
01:32:07.779 --> 01:32:10.619
One oath spoken, carried through.
1411
01:32:11.210 --> 01:32:14.729
Wherever duty calls us to.
1412
01:32:14.810 --> 01:32:16.430
Sympathize, Marie.
1413
01:32:16.829 --> 01:32:22.300
We go where we're sent. We go where we're sent.
1414
01:32:24.300 --> 01:32:25.100
They moved as.
1415
01:32:25.199 --> 01:32:27.100
One when the moment came.
1416
01:32:28.159 --> 01:32:29.640
Side by side.
1417
01:32:29.340 --> 01:32:34.119
Through fire and rain. First a step where the ground
1418
01:32:34.199 --> 01:32:34.850
was thin.
1419
01:32:35.600 --> 01:32:38.960
Not for the odds, but for the ones beside them.
1420
01:32:39.479 --> 01:32:42.680
Trust was earned in the hard way through.
1421
01:32:43.479 --> 01:32:46.520
Every promise carried by the few.
1422
01:32:47.239 --> 01:32:50.479
No turning back once the line was crossed.
1423
01:32:50.579 --> 01:32:57.250
They stood shoulder to shoulder as brothers, never counting the cost.
1424
01:32:57.350 --> 01:33:03.289
We stand the watch in different ways. Different nights, the
1425
01:33:03.369 --> 01:33:10.989
same long days. One oath spoken, carried through. Wherever duty
1426
01:33:11.050 --> 01:33:13.069
calls us to.
1427
01:33:13.630 --> 01:33:14.430
Air Force.
1428
01:33:14.470 --> 01:33:16.430
The sky is our domain.
1429
01:33:17.289 --> 01:33:18.170
Air Force.
1430
01:33:18.489 --> 01:33:20.310
The sky is our domain.
1431
01:33:22.140 --> 01:33:27.659
They held their focus where seconds seem eternal. Soaring between
1432
01:33:27.720 --> 01:33:33.840
clouds and blue. Every movement measured and true. Knowing what
1433
01:33:34.180 --> 01:33:37.180
one clean moment could do.
1434
01:33:36.840 --> 01:33:42.640
They watch the whole while guarding the small every mission
1435
01:33:42.680 --> 01:33:47.750
tied to a larger call calm under pressure steady and
1436
01:33:47.770 --> 01:33:55.449
clear keeping the promise from far overhead space for we
1437
01:33:55.489 --> 01:33:58.130
guard the dark without.
1438
01:33:57.609 --> 01:34:02.850
They keep their vigil where silence rages Beyond the weather,
1439
01:34:02.909 --> 01:34:04.649
beyond the rain.
1440
01:34:05.289 --> 01:34:09.050
Watching the paths that the world relies on.
1441
01:34:09.149 --> 01:34:12.000
Long before the warning lights come on.
1442
01:34:12.050 --> 01:34:14.909
No tower, no banners, no clear view.
1443
01:34:15.130 --> 01:34:18.569
Just constant care in a canvas full of stars.
1444
01:34:18.689 --> 01:34:24.020
Standing the watch through the endless night. Guarding the systems
1445
01:34:24.060 --> 01:34:25.819
that keep us enlightened.
1446
01:34:28.829 --> 01:34:32.630
While the watch is kept and the lines hold fast
1447
01:34:32.689 --> 01:34:36.659
They're alive, still moving on the other side of that.
1448
01:34:36.399 --> 01:34:43.220
Empty chairs and quiet phones Long goodbyes that don't feel.
1449
01:34:42.819 --> 01:34:50.489
Done Names we carry but never say Folded flags and
1450
01:34:50.529 --> 01:34:57.489
debts we pay Every service, every scar Reaches farther than
1451
01:34:57.569 --> 01:35:00.050
the uniform ever could.
1452
01:35:00.609 --> 01:35:04.590
Coast Guard, we come when it matters most.
1453
01:35:07.590 --> 01:35:12.689
They launch into storms when hope feels thin. Turning back
1454
01:35:12.829 --> 01:35:18.960
isn't an option then. Hands reach out where the waters rise.
1455
01:35:19.460 --> 01:35:22.619
Pulling lives back from the edge of time.
1456
01:35:22.680 --> 01:35:25.960
No headlines waiting when the call is done.
1457
01:35:26.060 --> 01:35:30.439
Just breathing restored and another life won.
1458
01:35:30.779 --> 01:35:34.149
Every rescue, every return.
1459
01:35:34.350 --> 01:35:41.130
A quiet promise kept in the worst conditions.
1460
01:35:41.250 --> 01:35:44.630
We stand the watch in different ways.
1461
01:35:45.529 --> 01:35:48.550
Different nights, the same long days.
1462
01:35:49.449 --> 01:35:52.220
One oath spoken, carried through.
1463
01:35:52.899 --> 01:35:56.140
Wherever duty calls us to.
1464
01:35:56.479 --> 01:35:57.640
For the ones.
1465
01:35:57.460 --> 01:36:00.220
Who raised the right hand high.
1466
01:36:00.239 --> 01:36:03.539
Swore the oath and didn't ask us why.
1467
01:36:04.060 --> 01:36:07.840
For the nights you stood where freedom cost.
1468
01:36:07.880 --> 01:36:09.750
We remember we are.
1469
01:36:09.779 --> 01:36:12.569
We won't forget the lost.
1470
01:36:12.630 --> 01:36:17.609
From the ground to the open sky to the guardians
1471
01:36:17.670 --> 01:36:22.119
above where the silent stars fly every branch every badge
1472
01:36:22.239 --> 01:36:25.079
every battle scar because you stood.
1473
01:36:24.779 --> 01:36:33.840
We live free.
1474
01:36:34.640 --> 01:36:35.800
Because of us.
1475
01:36:42.939 --> 01:36:49.000
We accept the weight of what was given and the cost.
1476
01:36:49.659 --> 01:36:52.560
That came with it.
1477
01:36:54.720 --> 01:36:59.579
We promise to remember those who serve, those who stand
1478
01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:05.430
watch still and those who never came home.
1479
01:37:39.899 --> 01:37:42.520
All right, all right, all right.
1480
01:37:42.659 --> 01:37:45.380
Okay, so apparently I've pissed off at least a couple
1481
01:37:45.399 --> 01:37:48.329
of people on YouTube who've decided to point out that
1482
01:37:48.369 --> 01:37:51.710
to them, Oklahoma is a shithole. Good, then we don't
1483
01:37:51.789 --> 01:37:54.350
need you here, want you here, don't really care. So
1484
01:37:54.390 --> 01:37:59.649
why are you on my channel talking about crap like that?
1485
01:37:59.850 --> 01:38:04.250
So also, for those of you that are... enjoying our
1486
01:38:04.310 --> 01:38:07.149
expanded reach at least we don't all get together in
1487
01:38:07.210 --> 01:38:10.409
person because i'm pretty sure if we did uh moose
1488
01:38:10.430 --> 01:38:13.050
knuckle trump would be pulling a peewee herman all over
1489
01:38:13.090 --> 01:38:17.300
the back of your seat right now well i don't
1490
01:38:17.310 --> 01:38:19.359
know why all these people spend so much time in
1491
01:38:19.399 --> 01:38:21.720
chat rooms jacking off to trump but here we are
1492
01:38:23.380 --> 01:38:29.109
anyway dude let Trump out of your brain. It's time.
1493
01:38:30.250 --> 01:38:31.850
He's not even going to be able to be in
1494
01:38:31.930 --> 01:38:40.880
office anymore after this, dude. Maybe you should talk to
1495
01:38:40.899 --> 01:38:45.899
somebody about upping your meds. Also, it's all the Jews'
1496
01:38:45.939 --> 01:38:50.159
fault again, because apparently, you know, BB has... videos of
1497
01:38:50.229 --> 01:38:54.470
Donald Trump doing gross things or something. So, yeah. See,
1498
01:38:54.529 --> 01:38:56.710
this is why I don't feature very much in my chat,
1499
01:38:56.750 --> 01:39:01.350
because these people are nuts. These people are nuts. But
1500
01:39:01.390 --> 01:39:02.869
it's fun, I guess, for them.
1501
01:39:02.890 --> 01:39:03.489
I don't know.
1502
01:39:04.229 --> 01:39:07.539
Alright, so, remember when I started, you know, earlier in
1503
01:39:07.579 --> 01:39:09.439
the show when we started doing the whole Data Republican
1504
01:39:09.460 --> 01:39:10.840
stuff and I told you that there were going to
1505
01:39:10.859 --> 01:39:14.739
be folks that were actually starting to talk about open insurrection,
1506
01:39:14.819 --> 01:39:18.979
things like that. So, yeah. In case you thought I'd forgotten...
1507
01:39:20.210 --> 01:39:20.630
Here's one.
1508
01:39:23.189 --> 01:39:26.729
Well, one is, for a while, Soviet Union.
1509
01:39:27.850 --> 01:39:33.949
Not fascist, communist, but in all respects as authoritarian. Slobodan
1510
01:39:33.989 --> 01:39:38.420
Milosevic in Serbia in the late 90s, which I do
1511
01:39:38.479 --> 01:39:41.380
think is a great model for Americans to be looking at,
1512
01:39:41.479 --> 01:39:46.159
where his apparently iron grip on power, using all the
1513
01:39:46.199 --> 01:39:50.439
mechanisms that we're seeing President Putin Trump use right now
1514
01:39:52.260 --> 01:39:59.399
were basically destroyed by an alliance, an unlikely alliance of
1515
01:39:59.520 --> 01:40:03.439
students and unions and coal miners and even some of
1516
01:40:03.460 --> 01:40:06.859
the police, old ladies in.
1517
01:40:09.000 --> 01:40:12.260
Public housing, businessmen.
1518
01:40:12.050 --> 01:40:16.329
All work together to accomplish that with almost no violence.
1519
01:40:17.270 --> 01:40:18.590
It can happen.
1520
01:40:19.100 --> 01:40:20.979
Stephanie, again, I think you mentioned- Did he just really
1521
01:40:21.020 --> 01:40:22.579
say almost no violence?
1522
01:40:22.619 --> 01:40:25.569
I haven't watched it yet, but plan to. It's on YouTube.
1523
01:40:25.590 --> 01:40:26.069
It's free.
1524
01:40:26.130 --> 01:40:30.890
It's around 55 minutes long. It's a documentary about the
1525
01:40:30.949 --> 01:40:36.210
fall of Milosevic. It's sort of a how-to in some ways.
1526
01:40:37.270 --> 01:40:40.000
It does end in a march on the Capitol building
1527
01:40:40.260 --> 01:40:45.039
to keep an election going. So there's a certain amount
1528
01:40:45.060 --> 01:40:47.890
of confusion there when you watch it. But it's inspiring.
1529
01:40:48.590 --> 01:40:51.329
It focuses on a group called Otpor, which was a
1530
01:40:51.449 --> 01:40:57.710
student-run organization that galvanized the country along with others, but
1531
01:40:57.789 --> 01:41:00.810
also put pressure on all of those strange bedfellows to
1532
01:41:00.850 --> 01:41:04.340
get together and do something. It's also narrated by Martin Sheen.
1533
01:41:04.779 --> 01:41:07.409
So if you're a West Wing fan, you'll enjoy it.
1534
01:41:08.680 --> 01:41:12.539
Right from the start, the revolution consultants follow a specific strategy,
1535
01:41:13.079 --> 01:41:17.600
a strategy developed by the Serbian organization Otpor. This organization
1536
01:41:17.659 --> 01:41:20.479
mobilized millions of people to bring about the downfall of
1537
01:41:20.539 --> 01:41:25.510
Serbian leader, Slobodan Milosevic. Their strategy became a blueprint.
1538
01:41:25.619 --> 01:41:26.119
One of the things.
1539
01:41:28.729 --> 01:41:31.989
Their strategy became a blueprint. So I'm going to, for
1540
01:41:32.010 --> 01:41:34.850
those of you that are in the back, maybe a
1541
01:41:34.890 --> 01:41:37.710
little slow down for a second. These people are actually
1542
01:41:37.770 --> 01:41:43.390
talking about using this as a way to foment insurrection
1543
01:41:43.430 --> 01:41:45.970
in this country. And you know how we know that's
1544
01:41:46.010 --> 01:41:49.590
their plan? Because they're testing it out across the pond
1545
01:41:49.609 --> 01:41:54.550
right now, and it's working. You think all these things
1546
01:41:54.590 --> 01:41:57.329
that are happening are happening by coincidence? You don't think
1547
01:41:57.350 --> 01:42:00.340
it's interesting that all these things are happening all over
1548
01:42:00.380 --> 01:42:03.979
the world at the same time? And it's all a
1549
01:42:04.020 --> 01:42:07.819
bunch of disgruntled 18 to 35s who think communism is
1550
01:42:07.859 --> 01:42:11.340
the answer? Who think socialism is the answer? You really
1551
01:42:11.380 --> 01:42:15.310
want to know how socialism works? And how communism works.
1552
01:42:15.329 --> 01:42:19.229
You guys realize the Berlin Wall was torn down for
1553
01:42:19.250 --> 01:42:21.770
a reason, right? You know, Russia fell apart for a reason.
1554
01:42:21.789 --> 01:42:24.430
You know, the USSR. You know, they fell apart for
1555
01:42:24.449 --> 01:42:26.909
a reason, right? It's because everybody was tired of starving
1556
01:42:26.949 --> 01:42:30.510
and being broke all the time. Because the same people
1557
01:42:30.569 --> 01:42:34.810
who took everything over and were like, oh, now we're
1558
01:42:34.840 --> 01:42:36.579
going to make things easier for you because we're just
1559
01:42:36.600 --> 01:42:38.819
going to tell you everything. But here's the thing, folks.
1560
01:42:40.289 --> 01:42:43.720
Trying to do this in America has been a communist
1561
01:42:43.770 --> 01:42:48.180
wet dream for longer than I've been alive. The problem is,
1562
01:42:48.220 --> 01:42:50.779
and you can actually find this in historical writings for
1563
01:42:50.819 --> 01:42:52.560
all the people that kept saying, at some point we
1564
01:42:52.579 --> 01:42:54.619
want to get our claws into this damn country and
1565
01:42:54.640 --> 01:42:55.899
we're going to figure out how to do it. But
1566
01:42:55.920 --> 01:42:59.289
the problem is, their culture gets in the way. The
1567
01:42:59.409 --> 01:43:02.569
family unit gets in the way. Their belief systems get
1568
01:43:02.609 --> 01:43:04.869
in the way. Their pride in their nation gets in
1569
01:43:04.909 --> 01:43:09.529
the way. So they've started systematically tearing all that apart.
1570
01:43:09.649 --> 01:43:12.319
And you see it all of the time if you
1571
01:43:12.359 --> 01:43:15.180
hang out in chat rooms of shows just like this one.
1572
01:43:15.699 --> 01:43:18.560
Because there's an entire group of people within this country
1573
01:43:18.960 --> 01:43:21.960
who think that communism is the way to go. I
1574
01:43:22.020 --> 01:43:24.399
remember when we used to fight commies, not try to
1575
01:43:24.430 --> 01:43:26.789
get them elected to office. And before anybody, well, we
1576
01:43:26.829 --> 01:43:30.350
haven't actually elected anybody who's a communist to office yet. Really?
1577
01:43:30.750 --> 01:43:32.750
Have you seen what Zoran Mondami is doing to New
1578
01:43:32.789 --> 01:43:34.430
York City? And you still want to tell me that
1579
01:43:34.449 --> 01:43:36.329
he's not a commie? You still want to tell me
1580
01:43:36.689 --> 01:43:39.890
that Mondami the commie isn't one after you're saying everything
1581
01:43:39.909 --> 01:43:42.770
that he's doing to New York City? That's the hill
1582
01:43:42.789 --> 01:43:44.810
you want to die on with me today. Okay, fine.
1583
01:43:46.010 --> 01:43:48.470
Pick that hill. I don't care. You're wrong, but pick
1584
01:43:48.489 --> 01:43:52.449
that hill. And here's my problem with all of this.
1585
01:43:53.289 --> 01:43:55.689
These are things that we have known. These are things
1586
01:43:55.760 --> 01:43:58.819
that we understood. This is why, if you look at
1587
01:43:58.840 --> 01:44:04.039
the numbers, Gen X is still staunchly fans of conservatism,
1588
01:44:04.220 --> 01:44:08.800
staunchly fans of things like capitalism. And I will admit,
1589
01:44:08.840 --> 01:44:10.989
there has been some shady stuff going on in this
1590
01:44:11.010 --> 01:44:14.039
country in regards to capitalism. But you don't throw the
1591
01:44:14.079 --> 01:44:16.279
baby out with the bathwater to try to fix it
1592
01:44:16.680 --> 01:44:19.939
because the problem is we keep dipping our toes into
1593
01:44:19.979 --> 01:44:23.579
this socialist crap and then realizing it doesn't work the
1594
01:44:23.619 --> 01:44:25.039
way we thought it was going to work. But by
1595
01:44:25.079 --> 01:44:27.220
the time it's in place, there's nothing that can be
1596
01:44:27.239 --> 01:44:30.569
done to take it away. I said this years ago
1597
01:44:30.670 --> 01:44:34.090
when the ACA was first being talked about. You cannot
1598
01:44:34.170 --> 01:44:37.270
build a house without a frame. The ACA was the
1599
01:44:37.329 --> 01:44:41.510
framework to ease us into Medicare for all. And that's
1600
01:44:41.550 --> 01:44:44.350
been their plan the entire time. And that's why they've
1601
01:44:44.369 --> 01:44:47.890
started pushing for it the entire time ever since the
1602
01:44:47.949 --> 01:44:51.170
ACA was passed. And they keep telling you Medicare for
1603
01:44:51.329 --> 01:44:58.310
all is the answer. Government touching anything is never the answer. Never,
1604
01:44:58.550 --> 01:45:03.090
because they break everything they touch. You don't believe me?
1605
01:45:03.670 --> 01:45:08.390
Look at what happened to our space program. NASA was
1606
01:45:08.430 --> 01:45:11.710
the pinnacle of our space program for forever, and they
1607
01:45:11.770 --> 01:45:16.689
were still, up until this last decade, using technology from
1608
01:45:16.689 --> 01:45:23.329
30 years ago. You know what started revitalizing space? Getting
1609
01:45:23.369 --> 01:45:27.789
everybody excited about space again? Private companies becoming involved in it.
1610
01:45:28.250 --> 01:45:30.930
A lot of them started were jokes. Oh, you're just
1611
01:45:30.949 --> 01:45:33.810
trying to get this so millionaires can pay to go
1612
01:45:33.829 --> 01:45:36.859
to space. You know what? Maybe that was their initial reasoning,
1613
01:45:36.899 --> 01:45:40.439
but that's not where it stopped. That's like with the
1614
01:45:40.939 --> 01:45:44.579
Tesla video that came out this time last week. It
1615
01:45:44.619 --> 01:45:46.800
came out, I believe it was a week ago yesterday.
1616
01:45:48.689 --> 01:45:51.310
And everybody on one side of it was poo-pooing it,
1617
01:45:51.350 --> 01:45:53.130
making fun of it, talking about how it was all
1618
01:45:53.149 --> 01:45:54.949
just basically a gimmick and it was this, that, and
1619
01:45:54.970 --> 01:45:56.729
the other. And those of us that have wanted flying
1620
01:45:56.770 --> 01:45:59.189
cars since we were five were looking at it going,
1621
01:46:00.029 --> 01:46:03.289
that's like Knight Rider or like the Mach 5 from
1622
01:46:03.310 --> 01:46:05.979
Speed Racer. And you know what? It doesn't matter that
1623
01:46:06.000 --> 01:46:07.979
it can only do it for a few seconds. It
1624
01:46:08.020 --> 01:46:13.880
doesn't matter that the cold jets are, you know, non-economical
1625
01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:15.640
or whatever the case may be, or that version of
1626
01:46:15.659 --> 01:46:17.579
the car is going to be so expensive that For
1627
01:46:17.619 --> 01:46:18.890
a long time, none of us are going to be
1628
01:46:18.909 --> 01:46:20.609
able to afford it. None of us used to be
1629
01:46:20.630 --> 01:46:24.500
able to afford color TVs either. The listening to the
1630
01:46:24.560 --> 01:46:28.520
fireside chats on the radio crowd as TV became more
1631
01:46:28.539 --> 01:46:31.619
and more of a thing got pissed off because first
1632
01:46:31.659 --> 01:46:33.770
they only had radios and the rich folks had at
1633
01:46:33.789 --> 01:46:37.369
least one black and white TV. Then at some point,
1634
01:46:37.430 --> 01:46:40.430
black and white TVs got more economical. So everybody started
1635
01:46:40.449 --> 01:46:42.210
getting at least one of those for their house. And
1636
01:46:42.250 --> 01:46:44.989
then the rich folks had the color TVs. And then
1637
01:46:45.090 --> 01:46:47.930
the color TVs got less expensive. And now everybody's got
1638
01:46:47.949 --> 01:46:49.350
them all over the place. Hell, I went to a
1639
01:46:49.369 --> 01:46:53.229
friend's house the other day. They have five bedrooms. two
1640
01:46:53.270 --> 01:46:58.069
living rooms, and a kitchen, and there wasn't a single
1641
01:46:58.189 --> 01:47:02.310
room in the house. They also have three bathrooms. There
1642
01:47:02.350 --> 01:47:04.470
was not a single room in the house that didn't
1643
01:47:04.510 --> 01:47:09.239
have a TV, but the hallway. And if you count
1644
01:47:09.760 --> 01:47:12.880
the gadgets they have in the house, their hallway even
1645
01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:14.640
had a smart display that looked a lot like a
1646
01:47:14.680 --> 01:47:19.000
TV because of the thermostat controls and everything else. Yes.
1647
01:47:19.020 --> 01:47:19.090
Yes.
1648
01:47:19.590 --> 01:47:23.010
It's outlandish right now. Yes, it's very expensive. But I'm
1649
01:47:23.029 --> 01:47:24.829
going to say the same thing I said last week
1650
01:47:24.909 --> 01:47:27.250
when I started talking about this. I'm glad that we
1651
01:47:27.310 --> 01:47:30.689
are starting to push the envelope of actual science again
1652
01:47:30.909 --> 01:47:34.939
because when we don't push the envelope outwards, we start
1653
01:47:34.960 --> 01:47:39.739
looking at pushing the envelope in things that we usually internalize. Like, oh,
1654
01:47:40.180 --> 01:47:41.979
I might have actually been born a woman.
1655
01:47:42.039 --> 01:47:42.420
You know what?
1656
01:47:42.439 --> 01:47:46.079
I'm glad that my parents weren't infected by that crap
1657
01:47:46.159 --> 01:47:49.680
or I'd probably have, you know, like a sewn on
1658
01:47:49.739 --> 01:47:52.380
Godzilla head or something. Cause I really, really wanted to
1659
01:47:52.420 --> 01:48:00.510
be Godzilla at age five. Uh, Felon Musk, you guys,
1660
01:48:00.810 --> 01:48:03.729
you guys just like get together, but you guys, this
1661
01:48:03.869 --> 01:48:06.930
YouTube have like a little, you know, like a pre-session
1662
01:48:06.989 --> 01:48:10.210
meeting where you guys get together and, and get your
1663
01:48:10.270 --> 01:48:13.489
notes set up before invading chat rooms and talking about bullshit.
1664
01:48:13.689 --> 01:48:14.350
I'm just curious.
1665
01:48:14.810 --> 01:48:15.409
Just curious.
1666
01:48:15.529 --> 01:48:17.869
Cause you all seem to talk about the same things.
1667
01:48:18.220 --> 01:48:19.970
It's almost like there's some sort of a talking point
1668
01:48:20.239 --> 01:48:24.380
memo or something that keeps getting pushed out funny funny
1669
01:48:24.420 --> 01:48:29.510
that funny huh anyway so yeah in case you were
1670
01:48:29.609 --> 01:48:39.949
wondering yes i get sidetracked by my chats a All right.
1671
01:48:40.109 --> 01:48:44.029
So we got to talk about this because because apparently.
1672
01:48:45.930 --> 01:48:48.390
Maybe I was and this hadn't even come across my
1673
01:48:48.430 --> 01:48:52.109
desk yet, but it's funny because I was just. Just
1674
01:48:52.149 --> 01:48:57.489
talking about this guy. And yet, apparently he is now.
1675
01:48:57.520 --> 01:49:00.039
Oh.
1676
01:49:01.479 --> 01:49:05.340
On how to get around ice. And the funny thing is,
1677
01:49:05.420 --> 01:49:07.520
he's doing it in Spanish, so we're going to have
1678
01:49:07.539 --> 01:49:10.489
to talk about it if it doesn't have subtitles. because
1679
01:49:10.529 --> 01:49:12.510
I hadn't paid that much attention to it yet, but
1680
01:49:12.529 --> 01:49:15.529
we'll find out here in just a second. Yeah, so.
1681
01:49:21.109 --> 01:49:23.649
Okay, so I guess that's weird. They weren't showing up
1682
01:49:23.710 --> 01:49:25.130
on the X side, but it looks like they do.
1683
01:49:25.210 --> 01:49:26.930
It does have subtitles, so I feel a little bit
1684
01:49:26.949 --> 01:49:29.930
better about playing it now. All right. Oh, I guess
1685
01:49:29.970 --> 01:49:30.409
they were there.
1686
01:49:30.649 --> 01:49:31.390
I just didn't notice.
1687
01:49:31.550 --> 01:49:36.170
All right, here we go. So there, if you can't
1688
01:49:36.229 --> 01:49:38.369
read it, what he just said was, if you encounter ice...
1689
01:49:38.890 --> 01:49:39.890
Next sentence is, these.
1690
01:49:39.770 --> 01:49:48.060
Are your rights. First, ICE cannot legally enter. They can't
1691
01:49:48.100 --> 01:49:50.100
enter private spaces without a judicial order.
1692
01:49:50.380 --> 01:50:01.029
These spaces include things such as your home. Hospitals, churches,
1693
01:50:01.109 --> 01:50:02.600
and private areas of your workplace.
1694
01:50:02.649 --> 01:50:03.600
I do not consent to your entry.
1695
01:50:03.640 --> 01:50:03.880
Segundo.
1696
01:50:24.189 --> 01:50:26.510
Tienes derecho a no hablar. Si ICE te para en
1697
01:50:26.529 --> 01:50:28.569
la calle, pregunta, Am I free to go?
1698
01:50:29.029 --> 01:50:29.609
Me puedo ir?
1699
01:50:30.090 --> 01:50:32.880
Si el agente dice que sí, vete con calma. Habla
1700
01:50:32.920 --> 01:50:36.239
con un abogado antes de firmar cualquier documento o tomar
1701
01:50:36.260 --> 01:50:37.640
decisiones sobre tu caso.
1702
01:50:37.979 --> 01:50:39.960
Tercero, no están solos.
1703
01:50:40.460 --> 01:50:43.319
Todos pueden llamar a la línea de ayuda legal de
1704
01:50:43.340 --> 01:50:51.140
inmigración al 1-800-354-0365, sin importar su estatus migratorio. La llamada
1705
01:50:51.199 --> 01:50:54.819
es gratis y confidencial y en tu idioma. También puedes
1706
01:50:54.840 --> 01:50:59.600
llamar al 311 y decir inmigración legal. La ciudad, incluida
1707
01:50:59.619 --> 01:51:02.949
la policía, no ayuda a cumplir la ley de inmigración civil.
1708
01:51:03.310 --> 01:51:04.350
Una última cosa.
1709
01:51:04.590 --> 01:51:08.069
La constitución te da el derecho a protestar y vamos
1710
01:51:08.090 --> 01:51:11.470
a proteger ese derecho. Son tiempos de mucho miedo para
1711
01:51:11.489 --> 01:51:15.020
muchas personas, pero como su alcalde, voy a luchar todos
1712
01:51:15.060 --> 01:51:19.060
los días para proteger, apoyar y celebrar a nuestras comunidades.
1713
01:51:23.270 --> 01:51:26.250
All right, so basically what he says is you have rights.
1714
01:51:27.130 --> 01:51:29.590
They can't come into your home or your church or
1715
01:51:29.649 --> 01:51:32.920
your place of business without a judicial order. As far
1716
01:51:32.960 --> 01:51:35.380
as places of business, yes, those are private property with
1717
01:51:35.399 --> 01:51:37.420
public access. But if the owners of the property give
1718
01:51:37.439 --> 01:51:41.699
them consent, then you're still up a creek without a paddle.
1719
01:51:42.739 --> 01:51:46.449
The thing that I find most interesting, and it's the
1720
01:51:46.489 --> 01:51:54.399
last sentence of what he says. The Constitution also grants
1721
01:51:54.739 --> 01:51:59.500
you the right to protest. Here's my problem. That's a
1722
01:51:59.539 --> 01:52:09.310
false statement. That's a false statement. Because the Constitution doesn't
1723
01:52:09.350 --> 01:52:12.590
grant any of these rights. The Constitution, along with the
1724
01:52:12.630 --> 01:52:16.930
Declaration of Independence, elucidates and outlines the point that we
1725
01:52:16.949 --> 01:52:19.539
already have these rights. They have been endowed to us
1726
01:52:19.619 --> 01:52:23.659
by our Creator. So the funny thing about this is
1727
01:52:23.920 --> 01:52:27.720
because the same people that keep telling me it's the
1728
01:52:27.760 --> 01:52:31.300
Constitution that gives these people these rights keep explaining to
1729
01:52:31.359 --> 01:52:34.899
me that the Constitution doesn't only apply to American citizens.
1730
01:52:35.140 --> 01:52:38.659
My problem with that argument is if you firmly believe
1731
01:52:38.699 --> 01:52:41.340
that the only thing that gives these people these rights
1732
01:52:41.399 --> 01:52:44.619
is what is enshrined in our Constitution, then these people
1733
01:52:44.920 --> 01:52:48.350
who are not legal American citizens, are not legally in
1734
01:52:48.390 --> 01:52:52.079
this country, should not be held to the same constitutional
1735
01:52:52.119 --> 01:52:55.979
standards of people that have followed the law to get here. Now,
1736
01:52:56.020 --> 01:52:59.159
that also hamstrings the other side of the argument for
1737
01:52:59.340 --> 01:53:01.420
our side, which is why I usually don't try to
1738
01:53:01.460 --> 01:53:04.529
make it very often unless these people say exactly what
1739
01:53:04.590 --> 01:53:09.350
he just said, which is the Constitution gives you these rights. No,
1740
01:53:09.470 --> 01:53:13.470
it doesn't. It never has. The Constitution tells you what
1741
01:53:13.510 --> 01:53:18.210
the government can't do. It can't take away your right
1742
01:53:18.630 --> 01:53:22.909
to express yourself. It can't take away your right to assemble.
1743
01:53:23.270 --> 01:53:26.890
It can't take away your right to practice your religion
1744
01:53:26.930 --> 01:53:29.909
in whatever way that you choose. And all of the
1745
01:53:29.949 --> 01:53:32.930
other things that are listed there, that's not the government
1746
01:53:32.970 --> 01:53:37.270
granting those rights to you. That is the government's acceptance
1747
01:53:37.329 --> 01:53:39.729
of the fact that there are things granted to you
1748
01:53:40.420 --> 01:53:46.140
as a human being that it cannot take away from you. Now,
1749
01:53:46.199 --> 01:53:47.819
this is one of this is one of those sticky
1750
01:53:47.859 --> 01:53:49.850
widget things. And this is why the folks on my side,
1751
01:53:49.890 --> 01:53:51.890
I kept saying, you know, we really can't make this argument, though,
1752
01:53:51.909 --> 01:53:55.069
and say, well, these things don't apply to illegal aliens,
1753
01:53:55.130 --> 01:53:57.970
because if they're granted by the creator, then we all
1754
01:53:58.010 --> 01:54:00.569
have the same creator. Now, eventually, I logically was able
1755
01:54:00.590 --> 01:54:02.510
to get around that because a lot of these people
1756
01:54:02.550 --> 01:54:04.479
don't believe in the same creator that you and I
1757
01:54:04.520 --> 01:54:06.319
believe in. As a matter of fact, they typically tend
1758
01:54:06.359 --> 01:54:09.380
to worship something that if they ever came face to
1759
01:54:09.399 --> 01:54:11.479
face with, it would likely smell a lot like sulfur.
1760
01:54:12.689 --> 01:54:15.489
So that's how I logically was able to get away
1761
01:54:15.529 --> 01:54:17.609
from that part of the argument. But the irony of
1762
01:54:17.649 --> 01:54:20.250
this thing is the same people that, one, don't believe
1763
01:54:20.270 --> 01:54:22.609
there's a creator, two, believe that we only have the
1764
01:54:22.649 --> 01:54:26.500
rights the government gives us, three, say that the government
1765
01:54:26.600 --> 01:54:29.880
gives these same rights to everybody once they're here, and
1766
01:54:29.920 --> 01:54:37.729
that's not true. Pocket, why are you racist? Why do
1767
01:54:37.739 --> 01:54:40.590
you hate African Americans? I don't get it. I don't
1768
01:54:40.630 --> 01:54:45.010
get it. I don't get it. But yeah, so look, folks,
1769
01:54:45.640 --> 01:54:47.569
the midterms are going to be fun. I have a
1770
01:54:47.609 --> 01:54:49.319
feeling this is going to be one of those elections
1771
01:54:49.359 --> 01:54:51.460
where everything kind of gets thrown out of the window.
1772
01:54:51.859 --> 01:54:53.859
BZ was talking about this a little bit last night
1773
01:54:53.960 --> 01:54:57.500
with the whole polling group that just got busted. And
1774
01:54:57.539 --> 01:55:00.039
I'm saying that again. They got busted. I know they
1775
01:55:00.060 --> 01:55:02.279
tried to put out a press release. Well, actually, we
1776
01:55:02.319 --> 01:55:05.439
were conducting a social science experiment. We weren't trying to
1777
01:55:05.500 --> 01:55:07.000
change anybody's election results.
1778
01:55:08.220 --> 01:55:08.439
Sure.
1779
01:55:08.739 --> 01:55:10.199
You know, the funny thing about that is there's now
1780
01:55:10.310 --> 01:55:12.920
two other companies that that have basically been brought to
1781
01:55:12.960 --> 01:55:14.460
light that have been doing the same thing, and those
1782
01:55:14.520 --> 01:55:16.739
same groups have been involved in a lot of these pollings.
1783
01:55:17.199 --> 01:55:19.800
So a lot of what's been making the averages all
1784
01:55:19.840 --> 01:55:29.270
weird everywhere... The funniest thing about this whole Wedgwood polling
1785
01:55:29.310 --> 01:55:32.810
thing that broke is reading the story where, you know,
1786
01:55:33.329 --> 01:55:36.569
none other than Chuckie Schumer sent like $ 1. 2 million down
1787
01:55:36.630 --> 01:55:38.520
to Mississippi because they had it as a toss-up.
1788
01:55:39.880 --> 01:55:40.100
Okay.
1789
01:55:42.609 --> 01:55:46.350
OK, so I don't know. So I'm going to be honest.
1790
01:55:47.680 --> 01:55:50.800
I am not. So Chuck Schumer and a lot of
1791
01:55:50.819 --> 01:55:53.819
the other fossils in Congress are making the argument as
1792
01:55:53.840 --> 01:55:56.260
to why we should have term limits. I'm not a
1793
01:55:56.279 --> 01:55:57.739
fan of term limits, though, because we have them here
1794
01:55:57.779 --> 01:55:59.550
in Oklahoma. I'm going to explain why in a second,
1795
01:55:59.569 --> 01:56:02.069
because we do have them in Oklahoma. So what happens
1796
01:56:02.210 --> 01:56:05.310
is you're only allowed to serve in state legislator capacity
1797
01:56:05.350 --> 01:56:08.720
for so long. And eventually you're not eligible for re-election.
1798
01:56:08.979 --> 01:56:11.729
The problem with that is once they realize they've come
1799
01:56:11.770 --> 01:56:13.789
to the end of their road, they're busily for the
1800
01:56:13.850 --> 01:56:16.029
last year and a half or so of their terms
1801
01:56:16.630 --> 01:56:18.770
trying to carve out a golden parachute on the way
1802
01:56:18.829 --> 01:56:22.649
out the door. So I don't really know how well
1803
01:56:22.689 --> 01:56:26.460
that would work. I do think that much like law
1804
01:56:26.479 --> 01:56:34.229
enforcement and military and places like airlines still have mandatory
1805
01:56:34.289 --> 01:56:38.029
retirement ages for certain job classifications i think we need
1806
01:56:38.050 --> 01:56:41.020
that for congress i think that's probably about the closest
1807
01:56:41.039 --> 01:56:43.399
thing to a stop gap i would be comfortable with
1808
01:56:43.420 --> 01:56:45.520
because i'm sorry there should be no reason that somebody's
1809
01:56:45.520 --> 01:56:47.359
80 someone years old and still in congress i'm gonna
1810
01:56:47.380 --> 01:56:49.140
say this too there's no reason that somebody should be
1811
01:56:49.140 --> 01:56:55.199
80 something years old and be president either just just
1812
01:56:55.220 --> 01:57:02.420
saying just saying I'm not going to go as far
1813
01:57:02.479 --> 01:57:04.239
as saying we need to start making sure all the
1814
01:57:04.279 --> 01:57:07.590
young people get into office because y'all, there's something in
1815
01:57:07.600 --> 01:57:12.170
the water. Y'all need your heads examined. And I say
1816
01:57:12.210 --> 01:57:14.250
that with love. I'm not trying to say that.
1817
01:57:14.130 --> 01:57:14.590
To be a dick.
1818
01:57:14.609 --> 01:57:17.909
I'm saying it with love because y'all have lost your minds.
1819
01:57:18.390 --> 01:57:21.600
If you think socialism, which is the gateway drug to communism,
1820
01:57:21.659 --> 01:57:24.279
is the best answer for America, you have lost your
1821
01:57:24.319 --> 01:57:28.899
damn minds. But anyway, we have what, 11 days? 11
1822
01:57:28.899 --> 01:57:31.319
days and counting? 11-ish, 10-ish, somewhere around there.
1823
01:57:31.340 --> 01:57:31.779
I don't know.
1824
01:57:32.239 --> 01:57:35.949
Count today, I think it's 11, if you don't. That's funny,
1825
01:57:35.970 --> 01:57:41.569
because I know lots of veterans that don't hate Trump. See,
1826
01:57:41.630 --> 01:57:46.109
that there is called a generalization, and you can't destroy
1827
01:57:46.220 --> 01:57:52.180
MAGA by making generalizations. But keep swinging. Eventually, you might
1828
01:57:52.220 --> 01:57:55.119
