We'll keep all of our voting info up to 00:10:33.230 --> 00:10:37.950 date live election reactions. We're also sharing 00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:39.629 of that is obviously where we're going to have 00:10:39.629 --> 00:10:42.570 to like address in real time the October surprise 00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:45.309 whenever inevitably occurs. We're officially 00:10:45.350 --> 00:10:50.940 the witching month we are it yeah could be any 00:10:50.940 --> 00:10:57.120 day now and speaking of witching we have two 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.320 little things the first is that i a listener 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.480 reached out to the dms and said and brought to 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.639 our attention that when i was discussing the 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:09.039 covid conscious lesbian bar in western massachusetts 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:14.009 last week that I said that I would come back 00:11:14.009 --> 00:11:15.929 to what the other two owners were doing, that 00:11:15.929 --> 00:11:18.289 there was only one owner that was involved in 00:11:18.289 --> 00:11:21.009 daily operations and I never got back to what 00:11:21.009 --> 00:11:23.409 the other two owners were doing. So I wanted 00:11:23.409 --> 00:11:26.669 to clear the air on that little mishap. The reason 00:11:26.669 --> 00:11:29.049 that the other owner is not involved is because 00:11:29.049 --> 00:11:33.070 he has decided to take us or she has. They have 00:11:33.070 --> 00:11:37.809 decided to take a step back from the bar and 00:11:37.809 --> 00:11:42.629 have enrolled themselves in clown school. Okay, 00:11:42.850 --> 00:11:44.970 but you told me this and this is honestly all 00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:49.269 you told me over text to what what do you mean? 00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:52.320 I'm literally Jennifer Lawrence. What do you 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.860 mean? Like what? The information that I have 00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:07.480 What's clown school Okay, I mean I I look physbo 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.500 but like I it's literally a school where you 00:12:09.500 --> 00:12:12.129 go to learn to be a clown But is this but is 00:12:12.129 --> 00:12:13.929 that not like a night thing that's offered at 00:12:13.929 --> 00:12:16.029 like the theater guild or something like I don't 00:12:16.029 --> 00:12:19.519 think I think that you could work a job. It's 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:26.820 not like going to university. I'm sorry. That's 00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:29.159 literally all the information I have. So but 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.440 that is all of our housekeeping for this week. 00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:34.379 We've been told that you guys enjoy kind of our 00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:37.480 little fun random segments at the beginning before 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:42.100 we get into the politics of it all. So for today's 00:12:42.100 --> 00:12:44.950 little intro thing. Production is calling it 00:12:44.950 --> 00:12:48.970 a hook. Legal is calling it a fucking nightmare. 00:12:49.610 --> 00:12:54.529 And I am calling it deja vu because we need to 00:12:54.529 --> 00:12:59.070 just we need need it's a need to discuss Gypsy 00:12:59.070 --> 00:13:10.200 Rose Blanchard. That's really the commentary. 00:13:12.629 --> 00:13:14.509 And the beautiful thing about that commentary 00:13:14.509 --> 00:13:17.909 is we said nothing at all. We are not implying 00:13:17.909 --> 00:13:20.049 away. I have a statement from legal. We are not 00:13:20.049 --> 00:13:22.610 implying anything by relaying this information 00:13:22.610 --> 00:13:28.450 to our listeners. So her gypsy roses, I'm just 00:13:28.450 --> 00:13:29.850 going to read literally what has been approved 00:13:29.850 --> 00:13:32.169 in the script and nothing more. Do people know 00:13:32.169 --> 00:13:35.860 who that is? I mean, everyone knows, right? If 00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:40.690 you don't, Google is free. OK, OK, OK. I just 00:13:40.690 --> 00:13:42.350 want to make sure she fell into that category. 00:13:42.529 --> 00:13:43.970 She was famous for killing her mom because it 00:13:43.970 --> 00:13:46.350 was a famous it was the case that made Munchausen 00:13:46.350 --> 00:13:51.250 by proxy very famous. They lived in a Habitat 00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:54.529 for Humanity house. I remember that. And she 00:13:54.529 --> 00:13:57.029 she being Gypsy Rose gets and this is not

alleged 00:13:57.029 --> 00:13:58.750 like she was convicted. She's just been out. 00:13:59.009 --> 00:14:02.269 She's free. She just got out. I mean, just in 00:14:02.269 --> 00:14:06.210 the last five years. Yeah. Since COVID. Yeah. 00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:10.220 Yeah. Oh, my God, like literally like AC after 00:14:10.220 --> 00:14:15.940 COVID. Literally. So she like went to prison 00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:18.279 with her online boyfriend for killing her mom, 00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:20.779 Dee Dee, who was like, it's like a fucked up 00:14:20.779 --> 00:14:22.700 case because she was like actually abusing her 00:14:22.700 --> 00:14:25.120 like really badly. Yeah. Like, I don't know. 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.179 She didn't actually stab her, though, so she 00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:32.399 got out. And then she met this guy named Ken 00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:38.230 Yerker. They had a baby together in 2024 then 00:14:38.230 --> 00:14:42.710 they split and then she married Or got together 00:14:42.710 --> 00:14:45.509 with that other guy who was like a real freak 00:14:45.509 --> 00:14:48.629 Anyway, all that to say they reconnected in April 00:14:48.629 --> 00:14:53.029 of this year and then Ken Yorker was found deceased 00:14:53.029 --> 00:14:56.769 in his Louisiana home on his past week on his 00:14:56.769 --> 00:15:02.860 birthday To finish the legal statement, there 00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:06.360 is no real story here or actual info. So to be 00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.059 clear, we are not implying anything with relaying 00:15:09.059 --> 00:15:13.840 this information. On that note, we'll be right 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:23.019 back after this break. We're back. We're back. 00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:31.100 That's really good. Take it away, Ben. Well, 00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:33.840 like I said, congressional catch up. So we're 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.960 just going to start with. Someone who's not in 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.860 Congress, but their current situation is in Congress. 00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:44.820 And that is that three flag Pete, a .k .a. Hegseth 00:15:44.820 --> 00:15:50.860 Daddy, a .k .a. OK, about set a slur there. He 00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:56.720 is on his bullshit. I'm not going to play the 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.440 montage there again that we played the other 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:00.759 week, but he is the one that said, you know, 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.960 we do trainings, not trannies, et cetera, et 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.940 cetera. Um, well, if y 'all remember, we discussed, 00:16:08.940 --> 00:16:14.179 uh, Republican Thomas Massey who lost his primary 00:16:14.179 --> 00:16:16.440 because Trump intervened in the primary because 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.899 Massey was one of the sponsors of all of the 00:16:18.899 --> 00:16:22.899 release, the Epstein files bills. So he has introduced 00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:26.820 eight articles of impeachment against, uh, Hegseth 00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:29.899 as of September 15th.

And there's a cute little 00:16:29.899 --> 00:16:33.000 table that we found. So I thought that maybe 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.080 Abby and I could popcorn read all eight articles 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.200 of impeachment Would you like to start Abby of 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:43.000 course one? Initiating war against Iran without 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:45.559 congressional authorization or qualifying attack 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.460 on the United States first of all I mean we just 00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:52.500 like no literally and I'm like that that that 00:16:52.500 --> 00:16:56.919 feels that one alone feels sufficient It certainly 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:04.440 does.

Well, 00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:01.500 I was just going to explain real quick to like 00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:04.759 say what that one was. That is the Venezuelan 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.519 fisherman case where they were bombing all of 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.519 those boats in the Caribbean Sea. And then they 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:11.339 were accused of even when they were survivors, 00:18:11.339 --> 00:18:13.279 like clinging on to the wreckage, they circled 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.180 back and bombed them again. Literally like a 00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:20.450 second bomb has hit the boat. And they're like, 00:18:20.470 --> 00:18:25.579 yeah, violent drug traffickers.

But 00:18:55.490 --> 00:18:58.029 it's like the same vibe that like when I, as 00:18:58.029 --> 00:19:00.589 a grown adult, like have to remind my mom, like 00:19:00.589 --> 00:19:02.950 I don't need my mommy to say something to them 00:19:02.950 --> 00:19:06.210 for me.

Can I 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:32.920 ask who, in what scenario could someone get lawful 00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:37.539 authority to? To seize?

Are we 00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:58.539 really supposed to care act like Republicans? 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.859 and quite a handful of Democrats in the House, 00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:05.480 for that matter, are going to care that we are 00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:08.579 accidentally bombing like brown children in school 00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:10.759 buildings. Like, are we really going to like 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:13.900 what? I mean, the royal we not the Ben and Abby 00:21:13.900 --> 00:21:15.559 we because we're not going to sit here and kid 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:18.900 ourselves. But like, are we as a

society going 00:21:18.900 --> 00:21:21.019 to sit here and kid ourselves into that these 00:21:21.019 --> 00:21:24.119 fuckers actually care about like the civilian 00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.960 casualties of Donald Trump's illegal war of choice? 00:21:29.390 --> 00:21:31.829 They don't even fucking care that gas is five 00:21:31.829 --> 00:21:34.809 dollars a gallon and like here's the thing and 00:21:34.809 --> 00:21:36.589 this is the thing about Republicans They'll always 00:21:36.589 --> 00:21:38.589 care about their purse strings before they will 00:21:38.589 --> 00:21:41.250 fucking brown kids in the street So like if they 00:21:41.250 --> 00:21:43.589 don't even care about how expensive things are 00:21:43.589 --> 00:21:46.049 right now They're still on this train about affordability 00:21:46.049 --> 00:21:49.289 as a hoax like you can't get them to care about 00:21:49.289 --> 00:21:53.390 anything Here and be like they're gonna care 00:21:53.390 --> 00:21:55.849 about any of these eight things on this table 00:21:57.410 --> 00:22:02.930 They couldn't put any of these places named on 00:22:02.930 --> 00:22:06.650 a map. Sorry. I know that's a bad argument and 00:22:06.650 --> 00:22:09.809 like that's not a good thing, but sorry. See, 00:22:09.849 --> 00:22:11.529 but here's the thing. I actually, I take a little 00:22:11.529 --> 00:22:13.529 umbrage with that because that right there is 00:22:13.529 --> 00:22:17.630 some white ivory tower shit because people are 00:22:17.630 --> 00:22:20.430 like, that's a straw man. Well, but it's really 00:22:20.430 --> 00:22:22.650 not though. Like when something is factually 00:22:22.650 --> 00:22:25.730 accurate, it's not necessarily a straw man. Like, 00:22:25.849 --> 00:22:28.869 yes, it may be. I'm going to be honest to me. 00:22:29.009 --> 00:22:31.269 And it's like, I hate like saying this, but like 00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:34.259 The longer I go through life, like some of these 00:22:34.259 --> 00:22:37.019 like academic fallacies that we have like ingrained 00:22:37.019 --> 00:22:40.299 into our head when we are the place we are in 00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:43.720 a society, some like conventional logical rules 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:46.019 just have to slip out the window as you're going 00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:49.960 down the interstate. Like when both sides aren't 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.970 playing by the rules of logic. Oh, excuse me, 00:22:53.970 --> 00:22:56.529 when one side isn't playing by the rules of logic. 00:22:57.990 --> 00:23:00.690 It just feels so useless to sit there and be 00:23:00.690 --> 00:23:03.339 like, well, We can just ignore what they say 00:23:03.339 --> 00:23:05.680 because it's not a logical coherent thought. 00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:08.400 Well, fucking 52 % of the country believed him 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.109 and voted for him. So like maybe we can like 00:23:12.109 --> 00:23:15.930 get off of our little thrones are like academic 00:23:15.930 --> 00:23:20.809 thrones and be like, huh, maybe we just have 00:23:20.809 --> 00:23:22.789 to start engaging in some of this stuff ourselves. 00:23:23.869 --> 00:23:26.549 Like. Like, you know, anyone can be a conspiracy 00:23:26.549 --> 00:23:28.009 theorist. You just have to start with a question 00:23:28.009 --> 00:23:31.430 with isn't it interesting that. Yes, and this 00:23:31.430 --> 00:23:34.630 is actually, okay, I'm glad you took us there 00:23:34.630 --> 00:23:37.809 because also today, we're recording this on Sunday, 00:23:37.829 --> 00:23:39.569 October 4th, the day before this comes out, so 00:23:39.569 --> 00:23:41.809 go to our Instagram, because I just shared one 00:23:41.809 --> 00:23:44.089 more clip from our episode a couple weeks ago 00:23:44.089 --> 00:23:48.990 with Meg Fee, where she talked about. How it 00:23:48.990 --> 00:23:52.369 is so easy for MAGA to be so quick on social 00:23:52.369 --> 00:23:56.490 media? Yes her take on it and she's somebody 00:23:56.490 --> 00:23:59.630 who's an expert in branding and social media 00:23:59.630 --> 00:24:02.109 like her take on it was like Well, yeah, if you 00:24:02.109 --> 00:24:04.750 don't spend the time fact -checking something 00:24:04.750 --> 00:24:08.109 I mean you can get it out pretty fast and not 00:24:08.109 --> 00:24:12.950 to say they're never factually accurate but a 00:24:12.950 --> 00:24:15.029 Lot of times they're not it doesn't you could 00:24:15.029 --> 00:24:17.980 just put shit out there. So it's like Anyway, 00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:21.279 that was to your point of when one side is engaging 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:28.450 in any sort of logic or like fair argument and 00:24:28.450 --> 00:24:33.119 like, I don't know. No, no, you're right. It's 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.099 so easy. Like, isn't it interesting that Abby 00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:44.779 Virgil and Rothschild both have 10 letters? Like 00:24:44.779 --> 00:24:47.740 literally just you can you can literally say 00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:50.180 anything you want by just starting with the words 00:24:50.180 --> 00:24:57.710 isn't it interesting that I'm screaming No, literally 00:24:57.710 --> 00:25:02.009 no literally though literally and our last wrap 00:25:02.009 --> 00:25:05.130 -up point on this is that according to ABC 7, 00:25:05.250 --> 00:25:08.390 New York I'm gonna read a quote from their article 00:25:08.390 --> 00:25:12.640 speaker Mike Johnson Sorry, that was bad, not 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:19.720 the article on Wednesday, which was the 16th 00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.740 of September, the day after Massey filed the 00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:27.039 impeachment articles on the 15th. Speaker Mike 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:28.559 Johnson on Wednesday announced he is sending 00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:31.519 members home from Washington early for their 00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:33.859 seven week campaigning recess ahead of the midterm 00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:36.579 elections, a move that will stave off a vote 00:25:36.579 -->

00:25:39.500 on Impeaching Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. 00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:46.970 Can I say something? I mean, mine's more of a 00:25:46.970 --> 00:25:49.730 rhetorical question. Mine too, go ahead. In that 00:25:49.730 --> 00:25:54.190 Mike Johnson, Pete Hegseth little help out, who 00:25:54.190 --> 00:25:59.440 sucked whose cock to work this one out? Because 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:06.700 they're both benefiting. Well, I have a visual 00:26:06.700 --> 00:26:10.460 in my head now that I never, ever, ever wanted 00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:14.700 to have. My question My my kind of rhetorical 00:26:14.700 --> 00:26:18.680 question 34 away from that. Yeah, and exactly 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:21.839 and and literally exactly or there's eight articles 00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:26.519 of impeachment eight times eight plus five Oh 00:26:27.220 --> 00:26:29.640 my god, like literally sponsor us cool math for 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.599 kids like sponsor us. We'll run a commercial 00:26:32.599 --> 00:26:35.099 for you. Like we love working math into these 00:26:35.099 --> 00:26:39.369 episodes gematria It is the gematria. You do 00:26:39.369 --> 00:26:41.950 need to know basic math to engage with the gematria. 00:26:41.950 --> 00:26:44.269 I was going to say to understand the gematria 00:26:44.269 --> 00:26:46.930 index, but it's really to engage with it. I really 00:26:46.930 --> 00:26:48.970 don't even engage with it as much as witness 00:26:48.970 --> 00:26:52.369 it. Okay, but here's my question. And I was going 00:26:52.369 --> 00:26:53.829 to post this on our Instagram the other day and 00:26:53.829 --> 00:26:56.130 then I was like, I didn't really feel like getting 00:26:56.130 --> 00:26:58.329 the feedback. And so this is a place for me to 00:26:58.329 --> 00:27:00.369 do this where I don't really have to get feedback. 00:27:00.470 --> 00:27:02.750 Now that's the through line of RedState Reboot. 00:27:02.750 --> 00:27:04.970 I didn't really feel like getting feedback on 00:27:04.970 --> 00:27:13.410 that. Is Congress, like, are they working right 00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:17.329 now? I mean, what's going on? First of all, they 00:27:17.329 --> 00:27:20.750 never work. At least not for the American people. 00:27:21.069 --> 00:27:24.609 Right. But no, they get your fucking breaks. 00:27:25.009 --> 00:27:26.430 Yeah, and we're about to get to what, you know, 00:27:26.509 --> 00:27:28.109 what they have been spending their time on. But 00:27:28.109 --> 00:27:29.450 I was thinking about this the other day, like 00:27:29.450 --> 00:27:33.009 in a serious way, because I'm like, what the 00:27:33.009 --> 00:27:36.369 fuck are these? I honestly don't even know if 00:27:36.369 --> 00:27:38.349 I blame them because it's like, what is there 00:27:38.349 --> 00:27:40.450 to do? There's nothing to do. Trump starts a 00:27:40.450 --> 00:27:42.789 war without approval anyway. He gets what he 00:27:42.789 --> 00:27:44.809 does, what he wants. He doesn't engage with Congress. 00:27:44.869 --> 00:27:46.769 So it's like, there's kind of no point in it. 00:27:46.769 --> 00:27:51.109 It's almost as if like our, the three branches 00:27:51.109 --> 00:27:54.869 of our democracy are no longer functioning in 00:27:54.869 --> 00:27:59.230 any kind of democratic way. So it's almost like, 00:27:59.230 --> 00:28:05.460 I have a genuine question. of what, what are 00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:07.460 they doing? I mean, I, I don't know. I guess 00:28:07.460 --> 00:28:09.460 my point is I'm like, yeah, go on fucking recess. 00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:11.539 Cause what, what else are you doing there? Which 00:28:11.539 --> 00:28:13.200 is, I mean, what we're about to see what they're 00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:18.299 doing in Congress these days. But you guys are 00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:21.039 going to see that right after this little commercial 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:29.740 break. We're back. So as our live studio audience 00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:32.480 and they're really excited for this next clip. 00:28:33.740 --> 00:28:40.819 And this is. Jack Smith, for those that aren't 00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:44.940 familiar, I don't know how you would not be at 00:28:44.940 --> 00:28:47.839 this point, but Jack Smith was the special prosecutor 00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:50.920 appointed under the Biden administration to deal 00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:55.920 with, appointed by Merrick Garland to... I forgot 00:28:55.920 --> 00:29:03.079 about him. Literally rip. Wait, did he die? No. 00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:11.539 No, but let's let's actually, this is going to 00:29:11.539 --> 00:29:14.900 get you given me a little airtime now to discuss 00:29:14.900 --> 00:29:16.319 something that's like really near and dear to 00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:20.769 my soul. Y 'all have to think about this because 00:29:20.769 --> 00:29:22.789 like, no, no, I'm being so serious. Like conservatives 00:29:22.789 --> 00:29:25.609 play the long game. Like what we're seeing play 00:29:25.609 --> 00:29:27.789 out in our daily lives now was starting to be 00:29:27.789 --> 00:29:30.150 theorized and planned for during like the Reagan 00:29:30.150 --> 00:29:33.349 administration. Like, like this is not news. 00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:36.220 Project 2025 was when they finally all got into 00:29:36.220 --> 00:29:38.759 a binder together. Like this stuff had, they 00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:41.059 have been working to capture the courts since 00:29:41.059 --> 00:29:43.660 the eighties, like all of these things. And this 00:29:43.660 --> 00:29:46.299 is why this is important to me. Merrick Garland. 00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:51.960 The ambient is important to me, I'm sorry. Literally. 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.259 Okay, sorry. What if I go in my husband's ambient 00:29:56.259 --> 00:30:00.019 jar? Well, not my husband, but someone's husband's 00:30:00.019 --> 00:30:03.720 ambient jar. Ambient jar. Like literally file 00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.039 impeachment article. I want her drug tested. 00:30:06.299

--> 00:30:11.779 Yeah, for ambient. For all of it. I want them 00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:20.750 all drug tested anyway. Anyway. This all is like, 00:30:21.130 --> 00:30:23.250 I hate this. I feel so cheesy to say, but like 00:30:23.250 --> 00:30:24.630 everything in life really is kind of like the 00:30:24.630 --> 00:30:28.589 butterfly effect in a way. God, I hate that shit. 00:30:28.849 --> 00:30:34.980 But like Merrick Garland is who Barack Obama 00:30:34.980 --> 00:30:42.059 nominated to fill a Supreme Court vacancy Mitch 00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:47.650 McConnell Blocked that effort because it was 00:30:47.650 --> 00:30:50.309 in October and they said an election is about 00:30:50.309 --> 00:30:53.910 to occur So the people should get to elect a 00:30:53.910 --> 00:30:55.750 new president and then weigh in and then thus 00:30:55.750 --> 00:30:58.450 Donald Trump gets his first Supreme Court vacancy 00:30:58.450 --> 00:31:03.339 to fill And this is how it all trickles down 00:31:03.339 --> 00:31:06.599 because then in four years later fucking Joe 00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.819 Biden wins the presidency somehow and because 00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:13.380 he has no original thought in his head and was 00:31:13.380 --> 00:31:15.660 attempting to just continue the Obama legacy 00:31:15.660 --> 00:31:19.619 feels bad and tries to do this like fucking call 00:31:19.619 --> 00:31:24.299 back to 2015 and be like Merrick, why don't you 00:31:24.299 --> 00:31:29.079 become my AG since they didn't since they wrongfully 00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:32.480 took the Supreme Court from you. Guess who couldn't 00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:35.000 have been fucking slower on moving the prosecutions 00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:38.180 of Donald Trump further? Fucking Merrick Garland. 00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:42.779 He's fucking 90. He moves like a snail. And he's 00:31:42.779 --> 00:31:45.319 like, well, we have to do this within the institutional 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:47.680 powers we have. Like, we have guardrails. Like, 00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:51.559 we have to follow the proper process. Look where 00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:54.960 that got us, Merrick. Like, literally, look where 00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:56.599 that got us, Merrick. Like, literally, fuck you, 00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:01.480 Merrick Garland. And you, Joe Biden. Cleansing 00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:04.740 breath. So anyway, all of that to say Jack Smith 00:32:04.740 --> 00:32:07.559 is the special prosecutor. I was appointed by 00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:13.700 Jebiden and Merrick and he was called before 00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:16.420 the Senate, one of the Senate investigatory committees. 00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:17.980 I almost want to say it was a judicial committee. 00:32:18.299 --> 00:32:20.160 I don't remember, so we're going to have to look 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.859 that up in a second. But one of the investigatory 00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:26.099 committees is whichever one SBA sits on. For 00:32:26.099 --> 00:32:31.299 any new listeners, SBA is our little nickname 00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:34.579 for Amy Klobuchar, the senator from the Senate 00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:37.440 Judiciary Committee. What state is she from? 00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:41.019 Minnesota? Minnesota? Remember, she ran for governor. 00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:51.680 Oh, did she lose? I guess. Literally R .I .P 00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:54.220 .S .B .A. Wait, maybe she's still running. Wait, 00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:57.259 she's still running. Oh, yeah. Maybe she's like 00:32:57.259 --> 00:33:00.140 the nominee or something. Is it her with versus 00:33:00.140 --> 00:33:02.079 Mike Lindell? I'm sorry. Wait, we have to take. 00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:05.839 Wait, wait. Quick production pause because I 00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:08.079 got so much has been going on. I lost track of. 00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:10.819 Y 'all, this is the most Midwest shit because 00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:14.059 Tim Walz. She is not the Democratic nominee. 00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:20.789 She is the Democratic farmer labor nominee. That's 00:33:20.789 --> 00:33:24.069 the most Midwest shit ever. Amy Klobuchar for 00:33:24.069 --> 00:33:28.890 governor. We do big things. Okay. Oh, and Mike 00:33:28.890 --> 00:33:32.509 Lindell lost. So she's running against Lisa DeMuth. 00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:40.380 But Amy Klobuchar could be elected the governor 00:33:40.380 --> 00:33:43.819 of Minnesota in a couple of weeks. I totally 00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:46.930 lost track of that, to be honest. Well, it's 00:33:46.930 --> 00:33:48.630 because we've been focused on the wrong parts 00:33:48.630 --> 00:33:51.529 of SBA. And that is for those new listeners who 00:33:51.529 --> 00:33:56.430 don't know, our nickname SBA comes from Abby 00:33:56.430 --> 00:33:58.509 and I were deep into politics, just to be clear, 00:33:58.829 --> 00:34:02.609 especially like democratic politics before we 00:34:02.609 --> 00:34:04.950 started this podcast. And this all goes back 00:34:04.950 --> 00:34:09.050 to the 2020 primary debates that were happening 00:34:09.050 --> 00:34:15.690 in 2019 before COVID. Like this time. In 2019, 00:34:15.929 --> 00:34:17.530 probably. Yeah, literally. Yes, because we were 00:34:17.530 --> 00:34:21.449 in our first semester of grad school and we would 00:34:21.449 --> 00:34:24.130 strategize. We would be both at our individual 00:34:24.130 --> 00:34:27.789 coffee tables at BNDC, me and Boston with matching 00:34:27.789 --> 00:34:31.710 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc and our little MacBooks 00:34:31.710 --> 00:34:36.840 live doing these debates. Literally. Because 00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.500 all of our friends fucking hated us during election 00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:45.599 season. They still do. We just now make money 00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.559 off of it. I would have the debates on my calendar 00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:50.440 I really I do I still love the debates the debate 00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:53.400 the debates are some of the best political theater

00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:55.860 I can't fucking wait for the debates. Like I 00:34:55.860 --> 00:35:00.260 am so excited for 2027 because Anyway, anyway, 00:35:00.260 --> 00:35:04.789 this all comes from the debate where Elizabeth 00:35:04.789 --> 00:35:08.469 Warren is fucking reading people. This is when 00:35:08.469 --> 00:35:10.389 Abby and I were convinced that she was going 00:35:10.389 --> 00:35:11.889 to be the next president of the United States. 00:35:12.510 --> 00:35:15.710 She starts off her opening statement with, we're 00:35:15.710 --> 00:35:18.289 running against someone who calls women horse 00:35:18.289 --> 00:35:21.869 -faced lesbians. And I'm not talking about Donald 00:35:21.869 --> 00:35:27.369 Trump. I'm talking about Mayor Bloomberg. And 00:35:27.369 --> 00:35:29.429 then she's like, she's like how many women do 00:35:29.429 --> 00:35:31.809 you have NDAs with? Look at the camera right 00:35:31.809 --> 00:35:34.489 now, Bloomberg, release them, release them. It's 00:35:34.489 --> 00:35:36.750 literally like one, two, three, release them. 00:35:39.369 --> 00:35:42.809 This is deranged. I'm sorry. I'm realizing something. 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:48.340 Elizabeth Warren walked so that the funeral lesbian 00:35:48.340 --> 00:35:51.760 singer could run. Yeah. Anyway, literally one, 00:35:51.780 --> 00:35:54.400 two, three, release them. But then she's reading 00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:56.539 people and they're talking about health care 00:35:56.539 --> 00:36:00.599 and she's like... She's like, you look at, you 00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:03.699 look at Amy Klobuchar's website and it just says, 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.019 we have great health care plans and they're not 00:36:06.019 --> 00:36:08.320 on there. And you look at Pete's website and 00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:10.320 there's a sticky note there that says insert 00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:17.079 plan here. So all of this had Amy, I promise 00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:19.440 we're getting to literally. I'm doing the Wii 00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:21.679 right now. Just we're coming back around. And 00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:23.539 it's like Trump. It's like if we never if we 00:36:23.539 --> 00:36:25.320 don't ever that's what you need to be concerned. 00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:27.739 But yes, we're making it back. Sometimes we don't 00:36:27.739 --> 00:36:29.460 make it back. Well, we're making this one back 00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:32.619 right now. Okay. All of this eating that Elizabeth 00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:36.199 Warren is doing is tearing fucking Amy Klobuchar's 00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:42.360 nerves up and she's like being electrocuted on 00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:48.690 stage. They did not hairspray her bangs enough 00:36:48.690 --> 00:36:52.469 to keep them still. Or they did too much. Exactly. 00:36:52.909 --> 00:36:55.110 They were a separate. Every time her body was 00:36:55.110 --> 00:36:58.769 shaking, her bangs were just flopping all over 00:36:58.769 --> 00:37:02.489 the place. And thus, to Ben and Abby, she became 00:37:02.489 --> 00:37:11.119 SBA, aka Shaky Bangs Amy. The other day, I texted 00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:12.440 you about this clip we're about to watch, and 00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.769 I was like, oh, the best part is SBA. That's 00:37:15.769 --> 00:37:17.809 her name. Her name's SBA. So you are officially 00:37:17.809 --> 00:37:20.150 caught up on the lore. Oh, yeah. Like Abby texted 00:37:20.150 --> 00:37:22.650 me SBA and I didn't have to double take. Like 00:37:22.650 --> 00:37:25.550 I immediately knew we were discussing and why. 00:37:28.269 --> 00:37:31.789 So SBA is in this one. See, we got back. We wove. 00:37:31.889 --> 00:37:35.139 We wove. We did it. You only need to worry about 00:37:35.139 --> 00:37:38.260 me today. I don't get back to the topic at hand. 00:37:39.849 --> 00:37:44.780 And so. Jack Smith, that's where we were, is 00:37:44.780 --> 00:37:46.920 in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who 00:37:46.920 --> 00:37:49.920 Amy Klobuchar also sits on, who will also hopefully 00:37:49.920 --> 00:37:52.519 be the governor of Minnesota. That was a long 00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:54.480 weave. That was about seven minutes worth of 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:55.780 weave, actually, to have that looking at the 00:37:55.780 --> 00:38:00.170 clock. But they're trying to catch Jack Smith 00:38:00.170 --> 00:38:03.309 in, like, what we can only surmise is a, like, 00:38:03.489 --> 00:38:06.510 gotcha moment because they want to, like, bring 00:38:06.510 --> 00:38:11.460 him up on, like, OK. I hate using this term because 00:38:11.460 --> 00:38:13.300 it's been co -opted by the right, but it's like 00:38:13.300 --> 00:38:16.460 one of these like lawfare situations. They're 00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:20.019 still seeking like actual criminal retribution 00:38:20.019 --> 00:38:24.039 for what they claim was persecution, legal persecution 00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:26.940 of Donald Trump during the Biden administration. 00:38:30.710 --> 00:38:35.250 Yeah, like nothing had nothing has happened knew 00:38:35.250 --> 00:38:38.829 what brought him dropped the charges like the 00:38:38.829 --> 00:38:41.329 week before the Biden administration left office 00:38:41.329 --> 00:38:44.449 because like it was useless to like, right, keep 00:38:44.449 --> 00:38:46.409 that open like nothing was going to happen. So 00:38:46.409 --> 00:38:48.250 everyone's gone back to their normal lives, but 00:38:48.250 --> 00:38:50.789 like they are still set on trying to like bring 00:38:50.789 --> 00:38:53.949 some kind of criminal charges against Jack Smith, 00:38:54.269 --> 00:38:57.050 which like Can I put something on our radar like 00:38:57.050 --> 00:38:58.969 our tracker radar? We don't need to discuss it. 00:38:59.250 --> 00:39:01.829 But like Jack Smith was a special prosecutor. 00:39:03.019 --> 00:39:06.440 Prosecutors have qualified immunity. Like you 00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:09.340 cannot be civilly sued for doing things that 00:39:09.340 -->

00:39:11.539 are within the confines of your job the same 00:39:11.539 --> 00:39:14.260 way that cops have qualified immunity, that judges 00:39:14.260 --> 00:39:18.119 have qualified immunity. Like we now don't get 00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:21.710 me started on that because I as someone who He 00:39:21.710 --> 00:39:23.349 literally was a prosecutor. I do not believe 00:39:23.349 --> 00:39:25.889 in qualified immunity because people do shit 00:39:25.889 --> 00:39:27.449 on purpose that is horrible. And they're like, 00:39:27.469 --> 00:39:29.409 well, they can't get me. And that's a fucking 00:39:29.409 --> 00:39:34.130 problem. But in the context of like the state 00:39:34.130 --> 00:39:37.530 of the law as it is, is that like he would be 00:39:37.530 --> 00:39:41.210 immune for doing things within. So they can't 00:39:41.210 --> 00:39:43.489 prosecute him for prosecuting Trump for doing 00:39:43.489 --> 00:39:46.309 his job. So they're trying to they keep calling 00:39:46.309 --> 00:39:48.530 calling him in front of Congress to essentially 00:39:48.530 --> 00:39:51.110 try to have these gotcha Moments because my what 00:39:51.110 --> 00:39:53.210 I'm surmising from it like Ben's little legal 00:39:53.210 --> 00:39:55.210 brain is I think they're trying to trap him in 00:39:55.210 --> 00:39:58.030 a perjury charge Like I think they're trying 00:39:58.030 --> 00:40:01.130 to get a lie in front of Congress even if accidentally 00:40:01.130 --> 00:40:06.869 to like And I think it really didn't hit me until 00:40:06.869 --> 00:40:08.989 this clip because during this clip you will hear 00:40:08.989 --> 00:40:12.030 Eric Schmidt be like, are you committing perjury 00:40:12.030 --> 00:40:14.250 when, okay, I'm not going to spoil it. But did 00:40:14.250 --> 00:40:16.010 you have something to say before we played it, 00:40:16.170 --> 00:40:20.099 Abby? No, just play it. I was hoping you did 00:40:20.099 --> 00:40:25.380 because it's... Well, I lost it. I think. Oh, 00:40:25.380 --> 00:40:26.539 oh, oh, oh, oh, I know what I was going to say. 00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.480 I was just going to say, I'm shaky. I should 00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:35.119 be savvy. No, you're back today. I know I came 00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:37.480 into this assuming you were over over simulated 00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:41.039 already. No, but I was just going to say it's 00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:43.840 it's a tour degree. It's another aspect of the 00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.039 tour day. Greatest hits because like Jack Smith 00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:48.699 is literally like a buzzword. Like I haven't 00:40:48.699 --> 00:40:50.800 done this exercise of like looking up his name 00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.000 on Trump's true social. But like, I'm sure it's 00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:56.179 it's a buzzword for MAGA, like Jack Smith, Jack 00:40:56.179 --> 00:40:58.260 Smith, and like, no one even knows who he is. 00:40:59.539 --> 00:41:04.289 I hate that I use two words that literally involve 00:41:04.289 --> 00:41:07.070 Jack Smith in them. I'm literally searching Jack 00:41:07.070 --> 00:41:10.210 Smith on truth social right now. Yeah. Oh, my 00:41:10.210 --> 00:41:15.530 God. Exactly. He has I mean, there's deranged 00:41:15.530 --> 00:41:18.590 Jack Smith is a crooked prosecutor. According 00:41:18.590 --> 00:41:21.530 to Trump's truth .org again, plug for that art 00:41:21.530 --> 00:41:24.289 digital archive. I just typed in Jack Smith and 00:41:24.289 --> 00:41:28.570 there's 602 results. Donald Trump has tweeted 00:41:28.570 --> 00:41:32.289 the words Jack Smith, 602 touch truth. Literally 00:41:32.289 --> 00:41:35.630 same. No. Okay. That was all I wanted to say. 00:41:35.730 --> 00:41:39.369 It's another aspect. Brandon Gill, Texas. Okay. 00:41:39.429 --> 00:41:44.769 Brandon Gill, another FGT in the mix. Um, They 00:41:44.769 --> 00:41:46.730 literally call him deranged Jack Smith and his 00:41:46.730 --> 00:41:49.869 illegitimate witch hunt. Okay, see, and I'm just 00:41:49.869 --> 00:41:50.809 going to say something and then we're going to 00:41:50.809 --> 00:41:54.630 play the clip. This is why Abby and I should 00:41:54.630 --> 00:41:58.329 be at least say in charge of things, but I don't 00:41:58.329 --> 00:41:59.730 need to be in charge of things. I just need to 00:41:59.730 --> 00:42:02.289 be getting a paycheck from these people because 00:42:02.289 --> 00:42:06.570 why has someone not told Jack Smith that he needs 00:42:06.570 --> 00:42:09.829 to write all of this down in a memoir and literally 00:42:09.829 --> 00:42:15.789 call it hoax colon. The story of deranged Jack 00:42:15.789 --> 00:42:22.550 Smith and my illegitimate witch hunt. Anyway, 00:42:23.170 --> 00:42:29.170 so this is the GOP senator from Missouri. What? 00:42:29.230 --> 00:42:31.769 What the fuck? His name's Eric Schmidt. Yeah, 00:42:31.849 --> 00:42:35.309 I couldn't remember. I want to say Ed. It's the 00:42:35.309 --> 00:42:38.210 same fucking. But it's like literally so important 00:42:38.210 --> 00:42:40.829 that he's a senator from Missouri for later reasons 00:42:40.829 --> 00:42:43.699 and. Abby and I are just going to like live react 00:42:43.699 --> 00:42:46.340 to this, I guess. So yeah, I'm just going to 00:42:46.340 --> 00:42:47.980 try to keep the volume down so that we can speak 00:42:47.980 --> 00:42:51.539 over it if need be. And just did you go to an 00:42:51.539 --> 00:42:53.579 NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and 00:42:53.579 --> 00:43:00.550 Atlanta Hawks on February 3rd, 2024? That's the 00:43:00.550 --> 00:43:03.349 center. Did you go to an NBA game between the 00:43:03.349 --> 00:43:05.929 Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks on February 00:43:05.929 --> 00:43:11.039 3rd, 2024? What city would that be in Atlanta? 00:43:11.539 --> 00:43:15.579 No, OK. Also guys this video is long, but the 00:43:15.579 --> 00:43:18.639 payoff is worth it like yeah the payoff so just 00:43:18.639 --> 00:43:22.519 lock in So your

testimony today is that you did 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:25.219 not go to a Hawks game on February 3rd, 2024. 00:43:25.219 --> 00:43:28.099 Is that correct? It's what he just said I have 00:43:28.099 --> 00:43:30.300 no recollection. Okay. Is it your testimony that 00:43:30.300 --> 00:43:32.900 you were not in Atlanta on February 3rd, 2024? 00:43:36.500 --> 00:43:38.079 Let me let me just give you a little context 00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:43.460 with the prosecutor. You know the Atlanta prosecutor 00:43:43.460 --> 00:43:48.510 that was also Fucking Fanny Willis. I forgot 00:43:48.510 --> 00:43:51.250 about her. I'm trying to get Trump the next day. 00:43:51.250 --> 00:43:55.440 Were you in Atlanta? I do not believe so. Okay. 00:43:55.460 --> 00:43:57.400 Did you ever go to Atlanta during your time as 00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:01.440 special counsel? I'm sorry. I can't with the 00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:03.460 fucking guys behind him with the poster boards 00:44:03.460 --> 00:44:06.719 and that's unpreparedness. You should have them 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:08.860 poster boards in order before you walk into the 00:44:08.860 --> 00:44:11.619 here. I really don't think so. It's possible. 00:44:11.659 --> 00:44:14.579 I flew through the Atlanta airport on the way 00:44:14.579 --> 00:44:16.920 to Florida, but I do not have a recollection. 00:44:17.570 --> 00:44:21.409 of going to Atlanta. I definitely did not go 00:44:21.409 --> 00:44:25.730 to a Hawks game. We're going to pause for one 00:44:25.730 --> 00:44:27.989 second because this was the only point during 00:44:27.989 --> 00:44:30.210 this whole interaction that I take Umbridge with 00:44:30.210 --> 00:44:32.929 Jack Smith and think he may be lying. We're not 00:44:32.929 --> 00:44:34.690 going to sit here and act like Jack Smith wasn't 00:44:34.690 --> 00:44:36.809 flying direct on a government jet. He didn't 00:44:36.809 --> 00:44:39.829 have a fucking layer. Did you ever meet Nathan 00:44:39.829 --> 00:44:41.929 Wade or Fannie Willis in your time in your time 00:44:41.929 --> 00:44:45.659 at special counsel? No. what would you say if 00:44:45.659 --> 00:44:47.960 i had a series of text messages from your team 00:44:47.960 --> 00:44:50.659 that said you were in atlanta at a warrior hawks 00:44:50.659 --> 00:44:53.820 game on february 3rd 2024 the day after willis 00:44:53.820 --> 00:44:58.050 and wade announced their affair can i also just 00:44:58.050 --> 00:45:00.210 say that like the literal staffers behind him 00:45:00.210 --> 00:45:02.570 look like they're part of the cornell seven ben 00:45:02.570 --> 00:45:05.550 i swear to god i was going to say that and i 00:45:05.550 --> 00:45:08.650 literally bit by i swear to god when i just said 00:45:08.650 --> 00:45:11.070 that about the poster boards that is what i wanted 00:45:11.070 --> 00:45:13.269 to say it literally looks like everyone abby 00:45:13.269 --> 00:45:21.019 and i went to college Dang. I'm sorry. Jackson 00:45:21.019 --> 00:45:23.340 has so been an Abbey code. He's just like, what 00:45:23.340 --> 00:45:26.900 the fuck is going on? It is my dream to testify 00:45:26.900 --> 00:45:31.219 before Congress. Talk about legal's worst nightmare. 00:45:33.679 --> 00:45:36.219 Bro, no offense to legal, but I'm gonna have 00:45:36.219 --> 00:45:38.000 to go find a different lawyer to go with me to 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.079 that one. I don't think you know that we have 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:45.019 this stuff. So yeah. Okay, sorry, we were talking 00:45:45.019 --> 00:45:47.260 if you didn't that was Eric Schmidt telling Jack 00:45:47.260 --> 00:45:49.840 Smith you don't know that we have this stuff 00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:52.900 and Jack Smith's face is like Yeah, like I'm 00:45:52.900 --> 00:45:54.320 very confused. It's what you're speaking about. 00:45:54.340 --> 00:45:56.079 Sorry. We were yapping So I want to give a second 00:45:56.079 --> 00:45:58.360 process it so you don't you know perjure yourself 00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:01.179 You just took it down really quick if I could 00:46:01.179 --> 00:46:03.880 look at that again Okay, this chairman. Can we 00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:06.420 give the witness a copy so he can see what's 00:46:06.420 --> 00:46:09.900 being read to him? Well, I think you've already 00:46:09.900 --> 00:46:11.820 sufficiently and so I want to I want to run through 00:46:12.659 --> 00:46:14.840 We'll put it in a follow -up. You can respond. 00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:16.960 I think you've already perjured yourself, but. 00:46:17.260 --> 00:46:20.610 They were holding up poster boards with text 00:46:20.610 --> 00:46:22.949 messages and he's like, I didn't see what they 00:46:22.949 --> 00:46:25.170 said. I couldn't see what you're showing me. 00:46:25.250 --> 00:46:27.349 Concordale 3 back there fucking flashed it up 00:46:27.349 --> 00:46:31.369 and took it right down. Can we see it? Can we 00:46:31.369 --> 00:46:34.809 see it? This is my time. Senator, can we see 00:46:34.809 --> 00:46:36.369 it? If you want to use your time to criticize 00:46:36.369 --> 00:46:38.949 my question, go ahead, ranking member. In closing, 00:46:39.070 --> 00:46:42.559 I just want to say. in the famous words of the 00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.639 chief of the secret police under Stalin of show 00:46:45.639 --> 00:46:49.320 me the man. I'll show you the crime. You may 00:46:49.320 --> 00:46:51.880 think you're a hero in this story, but let me 00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:54.460 tell you something. You're the villain. You've 00:46:54.460 --> 00:46:56.820 done so much damage as a former prosecutor. I 00:46:56.820 --> 00:46:58.920 can say it is so much damage the trust and faith 00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:01.360 people have in our system. You have weaponized 00:47:01.360 --> 00:47:03.739 the Department of Justice against political enemies 00:47:03.739 --> 00:47:05.940 to an extent that has never happened in the history 00:47:05.940 --> 00:47:09.119 of this country. You will go down as a total 00:47:09.119

--> 00:47:14.840 dirt bag. dirt bag Wait, why did you do this? 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:17.420 The chief of police under Stalin quote because 00:47:17.420 --> 00:47:20.920 they're trying to paint the Democrats is leftist 00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:29.139 fascist now, but What? Why is he giving it? Hmm. 00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:32.420 Okay Also, I'm sorry, but like this is literally 00:47:32.420 --> 00:47:34.840 a callback to last week's episode where it's 00:47:34.840 --> 00:47:37.699 like saying can you believe this or like saying 00:47:37.699 --> 00:47:40.360 like you can't believe this while like or you 00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:43.639 can't make this up following like making something 00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:46.480 up is crazy work. Right. This is like literally 00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:49.000 a Republican staring at Jack's face saying that 00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:50.860 you weaponized the Justice Department like never 00:47:50.860 --> 00:47:53.079 in American history while we're literally sitting 00:47:53.079 --> 00:47:57.050 through a partisan DOJ that is attacking. everyone 00:47:57.050 --> 00:48:00.150 and everything. So much so that God literally 00:48:00.150 --> 00:48:02.469 gave Pam Bondi thyroid cancer to try to end it 00:48:02.469 --> 00:48:05.010 and they just replaced her. I yield my time. 00:48:05.849 --> 00:48:07.750 Mr. Chairman, then you're going to be able to 00:48:07.750 --> 00:48:11.769 allow the witness to see this fast. That's SBA. 00:48:11.909 --> 00:48:13.949 Booster board that we saw. Is that going to be 00:48:13.949 --> 00:48:17.030 included then in the so the witness can look 00:48:17.030 --> 00:48:19.769 at that at some point here before the hearing's 00:48:19.769 --> 00:48:22.579 over because we couldn't see what it said. And 00:48:22.579 --> 00:48:24.860 I'm a former prosecutor, too, and I have never 00:48:24.860 --> 00:48:26.820 seen anyone just say, what do you think of this 00:48:26.820 --> 00:48:37.110 and put it down? We need a copy of the actual 00:48:37.110 --> 00:48:40.650 text. Not not Senator John Kennedy holding up 00:48:40.650 --> 00:48:47.300 the courtesy of giving him a copy of that. The 00:48:47.300 --> 00:48:50.119 text are basically saying are these seats good? 00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:52.280 They don't say where the game was or anything. 00:48:52.500 --> 00:48:55.219 It's like, what seats do you want to sit in for 00:48:55.219 --> 00:48:57.420 whoever was giving them, setting up the tickets 00:48:57.420 --> 00:49:00.380 for the basketball game in question? I think 00:49:00.380 --> 00:49:04.000 I can address it. OK, this isn't in my time, 00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:06.420 but yes, Mr. Smith, please address it. Just very 00:49:06.420 --> 00:49:12.000 briefly, if this is the correct basketball game. 00:49:12.510 --> 00:49:16.289 I recall going to a University of Maryland basketball 00:49:16.289 --> 00:49:20.239 game where Caitlin Clark was playing, uh, right 00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:22.820 around that time. Uh, and the Marshall service 00:49:22.820 --> 00:49:25.119 was there with me. You could check if that was 00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:28.019 the exact date. It was Maryland playing Iowa, 00:49:28.800 --> 00:49:32.260 I think February of 2024. But again, that's, 00:49:32.320 --> 00:49:34.559 you could check that out if that's what we're 00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:36.360 talking about. So he's basically saying like 00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:38.840 that is the only basketball game I remember going 00:49:38.840 --> 00:49:41.619 to during this time. Could it then be that University 00:49:41.619 --> 00:49:44.400 of Iowa is the Hawkeyes? Could that be it? And 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:49.980 maybe before we show this kind of thing. I know, 00:49:50.260 --> 00:49:53.059 but if he was at an Iowa game, is that correct? 00:49:53.460 --> 00:49:55.860 It was because Caitlin Clark was coming to Maryland 00:49:55.860 --> 00:49:59.449 to play. Uh -huh. I know, but that might be the 00:49:59.449 --> 00:50:02.010 confusion over the names of the team, but perhaps 00:50:02.010 --> 00:50:03.869 you should have looked at it more carefully. 00:50:04.409 --> 00:50:07.170 Whose questioning is this by the last term? Are 00:50:07.170 --> 00:50:09.530 you using your time? Eric Schmidt's people were 00:50:09.530 --> 00:50:12.989 like, no. Are we just having like an open session 00:50:12.989 --> 00:50:15.489 here? Eric Schmidt's people were like. I'm glad 00:50:15.489 --> 00:50:17.329 you're trying to rehabilitate the witness, but 00:50:17.329 --> 00:50:19.010 it's not your time. When you are calling a witness 00:50:19.010 --> 00:50:21.809 a dirtbag. I presented him with text messages 00:50:21.809 --> 00:50:25.250 about him wanting to meet with people. that could 00:50:25.250 --> 00:50:28.150 have obviously been related to the prosecution 00:50:28.150 --> 00:50:30.809 that was coordinated with his office in Atlanta. 00:50:30.809 --> 00:50:33.150 Well, I'm going to begin my questions now, but 00:50:33.150 --> 00:50:35.170 I think that people should have their back straight 00:50:35.170 --> 00:50:38.230 before they accuse someone of being a dirtbag 00:50:38.230 --> 00:50:40.530 and not get the team wrong. I stand by that statement. 00:50:41.690 --> 00:50:44.289 You have the team wrong, sir. That's really it. 00:50:44.369 --> 00:50:47.190 Mr. Chairman. That's really it. Proceed with 00:50:47.190 --> 00:50:50.449 your question. Thank you. From the state of Minnesota 00:50:50.449 --> 00:50:52.610 where we have the gophers. So there's not a lot 00:50:52.610 --> 00:50:58.239 of confusion. That is really it. That is really 00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:01.559 it that you got the teams wrong is really the 00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:03.920 there there this Senator Eric Schmidt brought 00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:07.400 this entire case in front of the Senate Judiciary 00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:12.039 Committee to again revive this these claims against 00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:14.579 Jack Smith. There's not no there there. There's

00:51:14.579 --> 00:51:17.059 nothing and then he finds this hook that he thinks 00:51:17.059 --> 00:51:19.760 that's oh well if you were at a quote unquote 00:51:19.760 --> 00:51:23.139 Hawks game. on this date, that means you were 00:51:23.139 --> 00:51:26.039 in Atlanta because the Atlanta NBA team is the 00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:28.159 Hawks. That means you were in Atlanta. And so 00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:30.460 you were around these people. And it's already 00:51:30.460 --> 00:51:32.539 a leap to begin with, even if you literally have 00:51:32.539 --> 00:51:34.820 been in Atlanta at a Hawks game that night. Like 00:51:34.820 --> 00:51:37.340 it's already a huge leap. But then the fact of 00:51:37.340 --> 00:51:39.300 the matter is that they're not talking about 00:51:39.300 --> 00:51:40.800 an Atlanta Hawks game. They're talking about 00:51:40.800 --> 00:51:44.239 a fucking Iowa Hawkeyes game, a fucking Caitlin 00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:48.429 Clark game in Maryland. and that he got the team's, 00:51:48.469 --> 00:51:50.650 he just did that, that entire thing at the beginning 00:51:50.650 --> 00:51:53.289 of that was just like literally wrong. And not 00:51:53.289 --> 00:51:56.010 to mention like that also demonstrates to me 00:51:56.010 --> 00:51:58.210 at least that the Senator did not care to fact 00:51:58.210 --> 00:52:02.190 check any of this himself. And if he did then 00:52:02.190 --> 00:52:04.369 honestly, he might've fact checked it himself 00:52:04.369 --> 00:52:06.969 because he's a fucking moron. These people are 00:52:06.969 --> 00:52:08.829 fucking morons. Like that's what I keep coming 00:52:08.829 --> 00:52:11.730 back to is it's not even a matter of like, oh, 00:52:11.750 --> 00:52:14.510 they're just doing X, Y, Z and they're. evading 00:52:14.510 --> 00:52:16.190 the law and they're working outside of protocol 00:52:16.190 --> 00:52:18.369 and all this shit like they're also fucking idiots. 00:52:19.230 --> 00:52:21.469 Well, and I forgot to put this into the script 00:52:21.469 --> 00:52:24.110 and I can't find it online. I also probably wouldn't 00:52:24.110 --> 00:52:25.929 want to play it because it's right wing shit 00:52:25.929 --> 00:52:28.690 that they might sue us for. But like he went 00:52:28.690 --> 00:52:31.050 on. Eric Schmidt went on a podcast this week 00:52:31.530 --> 00:52:35.030 after this. Yes. Yes. And he's still peddling 00:52:35.030 --> 00:52:37.989 it. Well, that's the thing. It's like everyone 00:52:37.989 --> 00:52:40.750 kind of expected for the host of the podcast 00:52:40.750 --> 00:52:43.739 to be like. Oh, you know, that kind of backfired, 00:52:43.820 --> 00:52:46.519 whatever. But the host is like, and you got it, 00:52:46.619 --> 00:52:50.639 buddy. And he's like, yep, he perjured himself. 00:52:50.699 --> 00:52:53.659 Like if I had engaged in this and that would 00:52:53.659 --> 00:52:55.739 have been me, I would have tried my hardest to 00:52:55.739 --> 00:53:01.159 pretend like it never happened. Never, never. 00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:06.300 Right. It's mortifying. But these people don't 00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:09.710 have shame. Going back to Megfi, once again, 00:53:09.909 --> 00:53:12.429 it's like when you are engaged in these like 00:53:12.429 --> 00:53:13.889 peddling this shit that it doesn't matter if 00:53:13.889 --> 00:53:17.050 it's real or not. It doesn't matter like what 00:53:17.050 --> 00:53:19.909 you like. It just none of it matters. So like, 00:53:20.030 --> 00:53:23.670 fuck it. Who cares? Like that. That is that. 00:53:23.909 --> 00:53:25.409 OK, so we are going to go to our last little 00:53:25.409 --> 00:53:27.190 commercial break and then come back for our last 00:53:27.190 --> 00:53:32.260 topic and. I just want to say that 107 episodes 00:53:32.260 --> 00:53:34.019 in, Abby and I have gotten so good at this that 00:53:34.019 --> 00:53:36.179 basically every episode is live and unedited. 00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:39.460 And that makes our lives easier and your ears 00:53:39.460 --> 00:53:44.920 have more fun. So we'll be right back. That's 00:53:44.920 --> 00:53:55.969 going to have to be edited out. We're back. I 00:53:55.969 --> 00:53:58.230 forgot we had a laugh track. Who invited shaky 00:53:58.230 --> 00:54:05.400 bangs Amy? I'm sorry. I have a really bad habit 00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:08.159 of, like, strictly referring to her now as Laughin' 00:54:08.219 --> 00:54:13.190 Kamabla because I'm glad you brought her up real 00:54:13.190 --> 00:54:15.170 quick, sorry, because we're already off the rails 00:54:15.170 --> 00:54:19.789 this episode anyway, and I just need to read 00:54:19.789 --> 00:54:23.849 you a little text that I got this past Wednesday 00:54:23.849 --> 00:54:27.590 from a 510 number. They're asking for money again. 00:54:28.530 --> 00:54:33.869 You wish. It's just this picture. It's literally 00:54:33.869 --> 00:54:37.250 just like Kamabala staring off into the sun. 00:54:37.769 --> 00:54:39.610 Like from the five minutes she was the nominee. 00:54:42.409 --> 00:54:46.829 My decision dash Kamala Harris. There's been 00:54:46.829 --> 00:54:49.349 a lot of discussion as to what I plan to do in 00:54:49.349 --> 00:54:52.530 2028. I can understand why so many people would 00:54:52.530 --> 00:54:54.969 like to jump ahead to the end of this chaotic 00:54:54.969 --> 00:54:58.550 and cruel administration. So here's the truth. 00:54:58.750 --> 00:55:00.349 I thought this was going to be like a text announcing 00:55:00.349 --> 00:55:02.530 she wasn't going to run or something. Right. 00:55:02.530 --> 00:55:06.570 So here's the truth. I'm completely focused on 00:55:06.570 --> 00:55:10.309 the midterm elections. To be quite serious about 00:55:10.309 --> 00:55:13.550 it, 2028 does not matter if we do not win in 00:55:13.550 --> 00:55:17.630 2026. Let me tell you something, Ben. I love 00:55:17.630 --> 00:55:19.969 how they like personalize them. Like, is this 00:55:19.969 --> 00:55:21.889 Kamal's number?

Like, can I text her back? Because 00:55:21.889 --> 00:55:23.690 I have some questions. Like, how do we get her 00:55:23.690 --> 00:55:28.980 on the pod? The midterm elections are one of 00:55:28.980 --> 00:55:31.360 the only ways that we can put a check on this 00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:35.079 administration. If we don't stop them now, Donald 00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:36.980 Trump and his enablers will continue to steal 00:55:36.980 --> 00:55:38.920 the power of the people for their own benefit. 00:55:39.260 --> 00:55:41.880 Here's the thing. It goes on. It's an essay. 00:55:42.420 --> 00:55:44.480 I'm going to stop us there, though, because I 00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:46.679 don't need to hear a regurgitation of the same 00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:48.800 message that lost you the election two years 00:55:48.800 --> 00:55:53.429 ago. I totally agree. Didn't work then. Sure 00:55:53.429 --> 00:55:57.050 as hell ain't gonna work now. What is the point? 00:55:57.190 --> 00:55:58.989 I mean, what's the fuck is the point? It's like 00:55:58.989 --> 00:56:01.789 it's literally giving Selena Meyer going to the 00:56:01.789 --> 00:56:07.289 Dastogne, North Carolina pig picking. Yeah, it 00:56:07.289 --> 00:56:10.590 is. It is also like literally not that show being 00:56:10.590 --> 00:56:13.289 like the fucking Simpsons predicting shit like, 00:56:13.289 --> 00:56:15.570 yeah, of course, it's fucking Dastogne, North 00:56:15.570 --> 00:56:17.869 Carolina, like I was about to say shout out, 00:56:17.949 --> 00:56:24.139 but like shout down Michael Watley. And here's 00:56:24.139 --> 00:56:28.429 the thing. All I have to say is that this week 00:56:28.429 --> 00:56:30.269 Abby and I got to look at the Zillow pictures 00:56:30.269 --> 00:56:33.670 of Michael Watley's home. And that man should 00:56:33.670 --> 00:56:37.090 never be our senator. Someone who has that many 00:56:37.090 --> 00:56:40.989 dolls lying around? Uh -uh. Dolls. Literal dolls. 00:56:41.210 --> 00:56:43.130 It's giving, can you show me where he touched 00:56:43.130 --> 00:56:49.309 you? God, legal is, this episode's getting me 00:56:49.309 --> 00:56:55.940 mailed. My inbox is about to be flooded. On that 00:56:55.940 --> 00:56:57.900 note, don't forget we're still taking, we're 00:56:57.900 --> 00:56:59.880 not, but go find organizations that are taking 00:56:59.880 --> 00:57:04.369 donations for Hurricane Helene relief. Anyway, 00:57:04.969 --> 00:57:06.750 to our last - Did you just go from flooded to 00:57:06.750 --> 00:57:09.880 that? Yeah, it seemed like a pretty natural segue. 00:57:11.239 --> 00:57:16.179 Just float on down that canyon. Anyway. Oh my 00:57:16.179 --> 00:57:19.579 God, literally live update just got a text from 00:57:19.579 --> 00:57:23.320 my father, source being TechCrunch. A federal 00:57:23.320 --> 00:57:27.110 judge has called flop. cameras, quote, indiscriminate 00:57:27.110 --> 00:57:30.769 mass surveillance. You can always count on the 00:57:30.769 --> 00:57:33.409 courts to echo our concerns and do absolutely 00:57:33.409 --> 00:57:42.059 nothing. That honestly is official Red State 00:57:42.059 --> 00:57:43.820 reposition. You can always count on the courts 00:57:43.820 --> 00:57:47.019 to echo our concerns and do absolutely nothing. 00:57:48.019 --> 00:57:50.739 Yeah, no, why did we need a court really to say 00:57:50.739 --> 00:57:54.909 this is mass surveillance? Told you putting Trump 00:57:54.909 --> 00:58:00.250 on the Kennedy Center is unconstitutional Yeah, 00:58:01.340 --> 00:58:08.710 not strong not me Yeah, okay, okay, so yeah TLDR 00:58:08.710 --> 00:58:12.050 except we just read it all it was longed and 00:58:12.050 --> 00:58:14.550 we did read but Schmidt made a complete fool 00:58:14.550 --> 00:58:23.429 of himself and Tom Cotton is Missouri, is he 00:58:23.429 --> 00:58:30.409 Arkansas? No, he's Arkansas. Central America 00:58:30.409 --> 00:58:35.090 is having a hard time this week. You always did 00:58:35.090 --> 00:58:37.309 have the prettiest voice in Central America. 00:58:38.449 --> 00:58:43.389 Since we're already so unhinged, South Park, 00:58:43.610 --> 00:58:46.329 who I was saying last night, I do think the South 00:58:46.329 --> 00:58:49.690 Park writers will History will remember them 00:58:49.690 --> 00:58:52.710 for how they have probably for dying in prison. 00:58:53.130 --> 00:58:57.670 And exactly. And exactly like they history will 00:58:57.670 --> 00:59:01.530 remember them as some of the loudest voices in 00:59:01.530 --> 00:59:04.050 the entertainment industry against the fascism 00:59:04.050 --> 00:59:06.250 in this country right now. And like, I think 00:59:06.250 --> 00:59:09.269 it's not going to be Taylor Swift. Well, yeah, 00:59:09.409 --> 00:59:12.829 it's not going to be Ed Sheeran. They've stood 00:59:12.829 --> 00:59:17.789 on business. But the the. The okay. Oh anyway, 00:59:17.809 --> 00:59:19.530 but their latest thing. I don't know if you've 00:59:19.530 --> 00:59:21.730 seen this bed. They have changed the name of 00:59:21.730 --> 00:59:27.510 the show Mm -hmm to South America Mm -hmm. Yeah, 00:59:27.510 --> 00:59:31.989 it's just it's so it's just they're really good 00:59:31.989 --> 00:59:34.210 and like I feel like we have shouted them out 00:59:34.210 --> 00:59:36.869 before but History will remember. They're almost 00:59:36.869 --> 00:59:42.710 as good as us. Yeah Exactly. Okay, so back to 00:59:42.710 --> 00:59:45.010 Central America back to Central America, um, 00:59:45.010 --> 00:59:47.940 Arkansas, Missouri Yeah, Missouri Schmidt made 00:59:47.940 --> 00:59:49.800 a fool of himself as we just made you sit through 00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:53.280 that six minute clip with us and Tom Cotton who 00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:58.039 is the senator from Arkansas and I have a note 00:59:58.039 --> 01:00:01.079 here from either Abby or production that says 01:00:01.079 --> 01:00:05.119 Republican Arkansas comma shaped like a pencil 01:00:07.139 --> 01:00:19.289

I will exactly 01:01:06.289 --> 01:01:09.510 as it stands. It is still up on Trump's truth 01:01:09.510 --> 01:01:12.570 Trump's real true social October 4th at 11 a 01:01:12.570 --> 01:01:15.750 .m.

Okay, 01:01:17.769 --> 01:01:19.409 and it has a little banner to let you know He 01:01:19.409 --> 01:01:22.710 deleted it because he's a little pussy Exactly, 01:01:22.710 --> 01:01:26.210 Donald Donald J Trump on October 3rd on October 01:01:26.210 --> 01:01:28.489 30 asked me what day it was. It's October 3rd 01:01:28.489 --> 01:01:33.159 at 10 32 a .m everybody in Arkansas This is his 01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:35.659 announcement to everybody in Arkansas. Everybody 01:01:35.659 --> 01:01:38.380 in Arkansas Tom Cotton a friend of mine is holding 01:01:38.380 --> 01:01:41.789 up a very important bill, capital B. It's called 01:01:41.789 --> 01:01:44.329 quote, the Sunshine Protection Act or quote, 01:01:44.630 --> 01:01:46.690 we don't want to change our clocks twice a year 01:01:46.690 --> 01:01:49.590 act. I don't think it's called that. I think 01:01:49.590 --> 01:01:52.550 that's what he calls it. Right. For some reason, 01:01:52.869 --> 01:01:55.309 Tom is stopping the bill. And in the Senate, 01:01:55.550 --> 01:01:58.650 it's very easy to do. It only takes one. It should 01:01:58.650 --> 01:02:02.309 pass overwhelmingly in a bipartisan capital B 01:02:02.309 --> 01:02:06.250 fashion. So everyone in Arkansas, a state I love, 01:02:06.550 --> 01:02:11.250 and won three times. The last by 34 points. Tell 01:02:11.250 --> 01:02:14.449 Tom. The last bye bye. Bye bye bye, literally. 01:02:15.090 --> 01:02:19.010 Tell Tom to get it done. It will be appreciated 01:02:19.010 --> 01:02:21.989 by all. Nobody wants to spend their precious 01:02:21.989 --> 01:02:24.809 time running all over the place turning gloss 01:02:24.809 --> 01:02:29.130 back twice a year. I don't know about y 'all, 01:02:29.250 -->

01:02:31.469 but I'm not, okay, anyway. Sometimes it takes 01:02:31.469 --> 01:02:34.170 me weeks to realize my microwave's an hour off. 01:02:34.449 --> 01:02:37.389 Right. The phones change themselves. Exactly. 01:02:37.989 --> 01:02:39.469 And we're going to get to the main thing in a 01:02:39.469 --> 01:02:41.349 second. Hold on, guys. And having sunshine in 01:02:41.349 --> 01:02:43.630 the afternoon is better than early in the morning. 01:02:44.210 --> 01:02:48.820 The PGA Tour as an example. needs more daylight 01:02:48.820 --> 01:02:51.800 in the afternoon in order to finish their tournaments. 01:02:52.139 --> 01:02:55.239 Likewise, regular golfers, capital G, tennis 01:02:55.239 --> 01:02:58.300 players, capital T and P, hunters, capital H, 01:02:58.420 --> 01:03:01.000 and perhaps most importantly, farmers, capital 01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:04.900 F, who want more daylight to play or work. See 01:03:04.900 --> 01:03:08.699 letter from Brian Rolaps, CEO of the PGA Tour 01:03:08.699 --> 01:03:11.199 Below. Pause, pause. Can I just point something 01:03:11.199 --> 01:03:13.460 I didn't realize in our first read through? What? 01:03:14.170 --> 01:03:16.929 He names things like golfers, tennis players, 01:03:17.110 --> 01:03:19.650 hunters, and then gets to farmers. And he's like, 01:03:19.730 --> 01:03:22.329 so that you can play or work. It shows where 01:03:22.329 --> 01:03:24.849 his priorities are because most Americans are 01:03:24.849 --> 01:03:29.110 working. He is the only one playing. Definitely, 01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:35.760 definitely. From the PGA Tour below, 65 % plus 01:03:35.980 --> 01:03:40.119 want more sun in the afternoon, daylight savings. 01:03:40.579 --> 01:03:43.579 Saving time the way it is now, but what this 01:03:43.579 --> 01:03:46.199 is fucking absurd. I'm sorry. I'm skipping Okay, 01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:48.159 I'm going down a few sentences because it's still 01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:50.300 going on. Okay, here we go. This is the operative 01:03:50.300 --> 01:03:53.820 thing To the great people of Arkansas. No, no, 01:03:53.820 --> 01:03:56.940 you miss something. They want to as they say 01:03:56.940 --> 01:04:02.659 lock the clock a fucking absurdity like and then 01:04:02.659 --> 01:04:04.880 he goes to the great people of Arkansas, please 01:04:04.880 --> 01:04:07.460 Let your senator know it would be a great bipartisan 01:04:07.460 --> 01:04:09.320 win for the United States Senate and for America 01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:12.460 itself And I don't know where we stand ethically 01:04:12.460 --> 01:04:16.920 on this, Ben. But Trump has written, call Tom, 01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:23.199 the Senator, call Tom on his cell phone at Go 01:04:23.199 --> 01:04:31.699 ahead and read it. 479 -453 -0533 and let him 01:04:31.699 --> 01:04:37.820 know. Donald Trump has doxed Senator Tom Cotton. 01:04:38.179 --> 01:04:41.940 Tom Cotton is like The most fucking flop pencil 01:04:41.940 --> 01:04:45.039 ass looking like racist shitty misogynist like 01:04:45.039 --> 01:04:47.400 piece of shit Republican senator like as they 01:04:47.400 --> 01:04:50.599 cut like he he is in that category But this shows 01:04:50.599 --> 01:04:52.760 you that when somebody does one thing that pisses 01:04:52.760 --> 01:04:56.599 Trump off doesn't Bend the knee on on every single 01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:58.659 issue like I'm sure if you went to Tom Cotts 01:04:58.659 --> 01:05:01.070 history He's gone with Trump on everything everything 01:05:01.070 --> 01:05:03.929 he's come at. He's been like a surrogate for 01:05:03.929 --> 01:05:05.750 Trump. He's promoted Trump. He's been like a 01:05:05.750 --> 01:05:07.610 pundit talking about Trump and MAGA, all this 01:05:07.610 --> 01:05:10.510 shit. He's done one thing and it's about daylight 01:05:10.510 --> 01:05:13.150 savings time, which I guess is a major issue 01:05:13.150 --> 01:05:15.230 for Trump. Or it's just rubbing him the wrong 01:05:15.230 --> 01:05:19.269 way that that Republicans don't just like inherently 01:05:19.269 --> 01:05:23.690 go on board. I can report that according to CQ 01:05:23.690 --> 01:05:27.769 vote watch and gov track, he has supported Donald 01:05:27.769 --> 01:05:30.789 Trump's state position on recorded votes 100 01:05:30.789 --> 01:05:39.550 % of the time. Thank you. He's doxing his own 01:05:39.550 --> 01:05:42.630 fucking guy. He put his cell phone number and 01:05:42.630 --> 01:05:47.409 this is like, as far as we can tell from everything, 01:05:47.690 --> 01:05:51.409 this is his Real self this is his bread and butter. 01:05:51.449 --> 01:05:54.329 I mean, oh, I mean, yeah, but this is Tom cotton 01:05:54.329 --> 01:05:57.469 cell phone up jobs Just full -on docking. I will 01:05:57.469 --> 01:05:59.730 say I didn't call the number What if it is like 01:05:59.730 --> 01:06:00.809 but I feel like there would have been a news 01:06:00.809 --> 01:06:03.590 article had it like onto a message That's like 01:06:03.590 --> 01:06:07.269 should we do it right now? Yeah, put it on speaker 01:06:07.269 --> 01:06:14.380 by the mic Okay Should I do it on star 67? I 01:06:14.380 --> 01:06:17.320 don't know. What are the answers? You're alive 01:06:17.320 --> 01:06:19.940 with red state That's exactly what I'm gonna 01:06:19.940 --> 01:06:23.760 say. Okay, hold on All right, this is kind of 01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:26.929 exciting. This is gonna put my phone on some 01:06:26.929 --> 01:06:30.659 sort of list. It's okay. Oh my god, it's Lisa's. 01:06:30.860 --> 01:06:33.960 The mailbox is full and there is not enough space 01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:38.760 to leave a message. Goodbye. But you literally 01:06:38.760 --> 01:06:42.780 call it and it says Dardendale, Arkansas. Dardanelle, 01:06:42.780 --> 01:06:50.519 Arkansas. Anyway. Well, you know, as Donald Trump 01:06:50.519 --> 01:06:52.579 is known to do, he sometimes doesn't get his 01:06:52.579 --> 01:06:57.079 point across. So also on October 3rd, about a 01:06:57.079

--> 01:07:00.340 little less than four hours later at 1 46 PM, 01:07:00.679 --> 01:07:04.909 he truths if Tom Cotton were putting Arkansas 01:07:04.909 --> 01:07:07.329 first, he would give them an extra hour of daylight. 01:07:07.329 --> 01:07:09.329 And more importantly, they wouldn't have to run 01:07:09.329 --> 01:07:11.809 all over their houses, farms, workplaces and 01:07:11.809 --> 01:07:13.929 everywhere else twice a year having to change 01:07:13.929 --> 01:07:17.539 their clocks and often forgetting to do so. That 01:07:17.539 --> 01:07:20.239 is really putting Arkansas first, and I know 01:07:20.239 --> 01:07:23.519 because unlike Tom, I won that great state three 01:07:23.519 --> 01:07:26.159 times and by almost 40 points. Additionally, 01:07:26.260 --> 01:07:28.760 it would be a very nice and easy win for the 01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:30.840 Republican Party, in particular, the Republican 01:07:30.840 --> 01:07:33.099 Senate, a place where we could use some wins. 01:07:33.590 --> 01:07:37.010 The House approved long ago the Sunshine Protection 01:07:37.010 --> 01:07:40.889 Act by a very bipartisan vote, capital B, capital 01:07:40.889 --> 01:07:44.909 V, 308 to 117. It has been held up in the Senate, 01:07:45.070 --> 01:07:47.530 a place where things go to die, Mitch McConnell, 01:07:48.130 --> 01:07:51.590 by Tom Cotton for months and for what other than 01:07:51.590 --> 01:07:54.289 ego. The reason that it was terminated in the 01:07:54.289 --> 01:07:56.929 past was that a certain congressman and senators 01:07:56.929 --> 01:07:59.570 from long ago used it as a negotiating chip for 01:07:59.570 --> 01:08:01.750 far more important legislation, and they got 01:08:01.750 --> 01:08:04.469 plenty. Everyone loved it, but it was given up 01:08:04.469 --> 01:08:07.409 in order to get bigger, better, and more consequential 01:08:07.409 --> 01:08:11.369 things." Given the Republican party a senatorial 01:08:11.369 --> 01:08:14.010 win for a change. Thank you to the Speaker of 01:08:14.010 --> 01:08:15.670 the House, Mike Johnson, and all the members 01:08:15.670 --> 01:08:17.170 of the House of Representatives, both Republican 01:08:17.170 --> 01:08:20.069 and Democrat. Democrat, he actually say Democrat. 01:08:20.270 --> 01:08:23.310 That's like my autopilot kicking in Democrat, 01:08:23.729 --> 01:08:26.390 who so overwhelmingly approved the No More Ridiculous 01:08:26.390 --> 01:08:28.949 Changing of Your Clocks Act. If you're counting, 01:08:29.029 --> 01:08:31.829 that is the fourth name we have got for this 01:08:31.829 --> 01:08:35.350 act in the last four hours. And who strongly 01:08:35.350 --> 01:08:39.090 want their son, all caps and in quotation marks 01:08:39.090 --> 01:08:41.250 in the afternoon rather than the early morning, 01:08:41.529 --> 01:08:46.079 loved by farmers, sportsmen and sports. Parentheses 01:08:46.079 --> 01:08:48.840 copy of PGA tour letter below daylight saving 01:08:48.840 --> 01:08:52.560 time is 65 35 in the

polls But why wouldn't it 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:55.899 be who wouldn't want more sun again in quotation 01:08:55.899 --> 01:08:59.100 marks in the afternoon than in the morning? It's 01:08:59.100 --> 01:09:01.300 it's even been proven to be better in stopping 01:09:01.300 --> 01:09:04.920 crime something of which I have done a Historic 01:09:04.920 --> 01:09:07.699 job because criminals don't like working in the 01:09:07.699 --> 01:09:10.989 light I think the Trump administration does just 01:09:10.989 --> 01:09:14.930 fine, but whatever. Ding. Not wanting to change 01:09:14.930 --> 01:09:17.789 your many clocks, including for church steeples 01:09:17.789 --> 01:09:20.890 and municipal buildings, is however a 100 % issue. 01:09:21.310 --> 01:09:25.010 Take the win, Tom. Just take the win. You need 01:09:25.010 --> 01:09:27.590 it. And so does our beloved Republican Party. 01:09:28.109 --> 01:09:29.770 Thank you for your attention to this matter, 01:09:30.149 --> 01:09:38.470 President Donald J. Trump. I'm at a loss for 01:09:38.470 --> 01:09:41.250 words. I can't believe we're... We're talking 01:09:41.250 --> 01:09:47.670 about this, that Trump is... Do you remember 01:09:47.670 --> 01:09:49.970 when those memes were going around? It was like 01:09:49.970 --> 01:09:54.609 Travis Kelce donates all this money to some program 01:09:54.609 --> 01:09:58.260 that basically like... sent kids who had never 01:09:58.260 --> 01:10:00.760 visited an amusement park before to like go to 01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:04.020 Six Flags. And then all the comments were like, 01:10:04.199 --> 01:10:06.420 honestly, this is probably a cause that's like 01:10:06.420 --> 01:10:09.520 really important to him. This is giving that 01:10:09.520 --> 01:10:11.699 with Trump with daylight savings. It's like, 01:10:11.960 --> 01:10:15.329 bro. It is I can I just say something real quick 01:10:15.329 --> 01:10:18.210 because it's like my favorite Travis Kelce meme 01:10:18.210 --> 01:10:21.430 to like ever come out and That is that when the 01:10:21.430 --> 01:10:24.810 life of a showgirl on court came out There was 01:10:24.810 --> 01:10:28.010 a meme that said literally keep Travis Kelce 01:10:28.010 --> 01:10:34.270 ten miles away from any fine arts Can I read 01:10:34.270 --> 01:10:36.850 the cherry on top and then let's get the fuck 01:10:36.850 --> 01:10:40.210 out of here yeah for real so October 3rd at 226 01:10:40.210 --> 01:10:43.869 so about 40 minutes later If y 'all if y 'all 01:10:43.869 --> 01:10:45.390 caught it in that last one, he ended up talking 01:10:45.390 --> 01:10:47.970 about crime and his weave and that is what inspired 01:10:47.970 --> 01:10:51.859 this one. I think this is also like so red state 01:10:51.859 --> 01:10:53.859 reboot coded with Abby and I are like someone 01:10:53.859 --> 01:10:59.600 was in our DMS. He has one gentleman. I don't 01:10:59.600 --> 01:11:02.520 know about everyone else, but a table full of 01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:06.899 very

distinguished people just told me they hate 01:11:06.899 --> 01:11:10.520 immediately after a mandatory time change going 01:11:10.520 --> 01:11:13.779 home at night. And it's dark, it's depressing. 01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:17.479 One of the gentlemen stated that quote, I just 01:11:17.479 --> 01:11:20.800 hate going home in darkness, end quote. It's 01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:24.380 also in crime ridden blue states, a lot more 01:11:24.380 --> 01:11:27.220 dangerous to be walking home in the dark. President 01:11:27.220 --> 01:11:36.300 Donald J. Trump. I'm worried. I'm worried that 01:11:36.300 --> 01:11:40.079 we are going to find out sometime soon why this 01:11:40.079 --> 01:11:43.300 matter so much to Trump. And I can't quite place 01:11:43.300 --> 01:11:48.460 it. yet. I mean, you think it's really just golf, 01:11:48.539 --> 01:11:51.260 but he golfed during the day doesn't matter for 01:11:51.260 --> 01:11:54.560 him. No, I think he's trying to say it's like 01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:57.460 for farmers and stuff because he knows that farmers 01:11:57.460 --> 01:11:59.659 are like turning on him left and right because 01:11:59.659 --> 01:12:01.920 of diesel, because of beef, because of ending 01:12:01.920 --> 01:12:05.789 farm subsidies. And this is where we're going 01:12:05.789 --> 01:12:10.800 to end it with right here. The Republican Party 01:12:10.800 --> 01:12:14.960 is suffering for two main reasons. I'm sorry, 01:12:15.180 --> 01:12:17.600 he truth about Jack Smith. this morning while 01:12:17.600 --> 01:12:21.319 we've been recording. I know. I read that one. 01:12:21.359 --> 01:12:22.460 That's the one that says deranged Jack Smith 01:12:22.460 --> 01:12:24.779 is a crooked cross. Okay. Okay. I didn't realize 01:12:24.779 --> 01:12:27.840 I was literally from right now. Yeah. Yeah. From 01:12:27.840 --> 01:12:30.239 54 minutes like while you're on the air. Okay. 01:12:30.979 --> 01:12:35.079 So Donald Trump has a general like ineptitude 01:12:35.079 --> 01:12:37.899 to do fucking anything of use to the American 01:12:37.899 --> 01:12:41.100 people. But the one thing that counteracts that 01:12:41.100 --> 01:12:43.920 is his charisma. So the reason that the Republican 01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:46.399 Party is suffering is because he is not on the 01:12:46.399 --> 01:12:49.760 ballot So I just he tweeted this 53 minutes ago 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:51.539 So I just it reminded me that I wanted to say 01:12:51.539 --> 01:12:54.140 this before we got to the elections Donald Trump 01:12:54.140 --> 01:12:56.939 is trying his damnedest to convince people that 01:12:56.939 --> 01:12:58.880 even though he's not on the ballot like he's 01:12:58.880 --> 01:13:00.699 essentially a lame duck for most intents and 01:13:00.699 --> 01:13:03.960 purposes He is trying to convince people that 01:13:03.960 --> 01:13:09.789 like he basically is on the ballot 53 minutes 01:13:09.789 --> 01:13:12.750 ago, the polls have always underestimated MAGA. 01:13:13.050 -->

01:13:15.750 They try to suppress the vote, but I won all 01:13:15.750 --> 01:13:18.989 seven swing states, the popular vote, 86 % of 01:13:18.989 --> 01:13:24.340 counties and 99 % of primaries this year. First 01:13:24.340 --> 01:13:28.569 of all, you did not win seven swing states this 01:13:28.569 --> 01:13:32.609 year. You did not win the popular vote this year 01:13:33.510 --> 01:13:41.539 and you weren't in a primary this year. But here's 01:13:41.539 --> 01:13:43.239 the thing, this is how it ends, like at 99 % 01:13:43.239 --> 01:13:47.000 of primaries this year, all caps, I am on the 01:13:47.000 --> 01:13:53.039 ballot! President Donald J. Trump. I'm surprised 01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:55.859 he hasn't started an initiative that's just right 01:13:55.859 --> 01:13:58.920 in Trump for every single thing on your ballot. 01:14:01.640 --> 01:14:03.920 So I shouldn't give him any ideas. Yeah, Abby, 01:14:04.020 --> 01:14:06.380 you know, they listen to this podcast because 01:14:06.380 --> 01:14:08.520 we're not going to name names. But, you know, 01:14:08.680 --> 01:14:10.260 if you've been a long time rebooting, you know, 01:14:10.359 --> 01:14:12.640 we've been using the term toward a greatest hits 01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:15.420 for 18 months now. And there were some major 01:14:15.420 --> 01:14:19.090 publications that decided to. Talk about his 01:14:19.090 --> 01:14:22.510 tour of greatest hits this past week and Abby 01:14:22.510 --> 01:14:24.949 and I are have been talking to our legal team 01:14:24.949 --> 01:14:28.449 to investigate all of our options So if you are 01:14:28.449 --> 01:14:31.029 that news media that's been listening to us and 01:14:31.029 --> 01:14:34.569 copying us take this as your little informal 01:14:34.569 --> 01:14:38.250 notice that We're discussing our options, but 01:14:38.250 --> 01:14:41.010 if you go ahead and take it down now, it'll save 01:14:41.010 --> 01:14:47.890 us all some discussions I know, in the words 01:14:47.890 --> 01:14:50.649 of Senator Eric Schmidt, I'll give you a second 01:14:50.649 --> 01:14:54.029 to take that in before you butcher yourself. 01:14:57.220 --> 01:15:03.810 Literally. Okay, let's leave. Sorry, I just, 01:15:04.109 --> 01:15:06.609 I didn't realize they'd started building the 01:15:06.609 --> 01:15:09.250 ballroom.
