Real Coffee with Scott Adams - The Scott Adams School - 05⧸08⧸26 UFO DAY! BJ Dichter Joins Us

00:00:00.000 we have a new name for our friday shows no i'm kidding it's something

00:00:04.640 it's bj friday bj friday but i liked mine marcella if bj's on here

00:00:13.380 oh welcome in everybody it's friday if you haven't heard it is may 8th oh my goodness

00:00:22.260 oh is mother's day this weekend you guys yes oh mom sorry happy mother's day to all the mothers

00:00:30.680 I didn't send anything, mom.

00:00:33.080 Okay, so there, I got that out of the way.

00:00:36.020 So listen, you guys, we have a special clip today.

00:00:39.060 I mean, the odds of this clip landing on the day it was supposed to land on was slim to none.

00:00:45.080 So let's just have it today.

00:00:46.800 So not only is it UFO day, we're going to pretend it's Valentine's Day.

00:00:52.260 A special Valentine's version of this simultaneous sip.

00:00:58.600 What makes it special, you ask?

00:01:00.860 Well, you're going to have to wait and see.

00:01:03.360 But I think you'll agree it's pretty special.

00:01:06.640 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein,

00:01:11.080 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:15.520 Could be hot chocolate today, but I like coffee.

00:01:19.360 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:23.000 the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip, Valentine version.

00:01:27.940 Go.

00:01:33.660 Yes, just as I suspected.

00:01:36.660 When you match the subtle undertones of Valentine's Day

00:01:40.720 with the exceptional flavors and pungency of the simultaneity,

00:01:48.300 I think it makes a lovely bouquet.

00:01:54.480 You don't have to hate me for that.

00:01:56.060 But I hate myself just for saying that sentence.

00:02:02.440 It's like, what the hell did I just say?

00:02:04.600 So happy Valentine's UFO Friday, everybody.

00:02:07.840 I am Erica.

00:02:09.180 I'm joined by our regular co-hosts, Marcella and Owen, and our favorite returning news co-hosts, BJ.

00:02:17.760 BJ's in the house, Honking for Freedom, our friend from Canada, if you haven't met him yet.

00:02:23.420 check out honkingforfreedom.com. Okay. So you guys, it's UFO day. I'm so excited.

00:02:31.560 Did any big news come out yet? I didn't see anything hot off the presses yet this morning,

00:02:35.740 but I am on alert all day. So we have a few UFO clips. Nobody's seen them yet unless you watched

00:02:44.820 Rogan. And let's just start right away. We're going to play a clip. We're going to chat. That's

00:02:50.560 That's the Friday flavor.

00:02:51.940 So one of my favorites, Tim Burchette, who's like all over this UFO stuff, he was just

00:02:57.520 on Rogan.

00:02:58.480 Now, Joe Rogan loves nothing more than fantasizing about what could be out there in the world.

00:03:04.780 So I love that he had Burchette on.

00:03:07.100 I'm wondering if Tim Dillon told him to go on there.

00:03:09.640 But anyway, let's play our first clip, and then we'll talk about it after.

00:03:15.600 Well, I'm sure you're aware of this narrative about the missing scientists and scientists

00:03:19.940 that have turned up dead and been killed 100 that's real i think um i have a theory on that

00:03:26.680 all right i know it's it's a little dangerous to throw these things out but and i and i was on

00:03:31.860 maybe fox one time and i just came up with this i say say your family's mobbed up okay and y'all

00:03:38.700 own a nice italian restaurant and it's world renowned and you're you're busting at the seams

00:03:43.640 you know and you're franchising and putting out cookbooks and everything you got this one chef

00:03:47.880 who's who's the kingpin of all of it but you're afraid he's talking to your competitors

00:03:52.940 now you don't bump him off what you do is you rough up a few of the bus boys and that sends

00:03:59.980 a quick dadgum message that you need to shut your mouth and that timing is everything and nothing

00:04:07.040 happens by accident in washington dc to me i think it's the timing is is it's uncanny that

00:04:13.920 You got a president. You know, he had these hearings in Washington. You have a president that says he's going to release stuff and all in that same time frame before and after that, you're having some of these high high ranking officials disappear. And to me, that's nobody disappears in this country unless they they want to disappear. You know, there's cameras everywhere. And it just to me, it's just it reeks of a deep state sewer.

00:04:39.920 yeah i thought one of the things that i thought of is one of the subjects that these people were

00:04:47.640 they're all working on different things but they're working on alternative energy sources

00:04:51.860 yeah that's that's the um that's the the i'm sorry i didn't mean to cut you off but that's

00:04:56.800 what ties them together i think all right so i i do you know i do think that is a

00:05:06.820 I can't say the word coincidence. We're not supposed to say coincidence, but

00:05:11.060 isn't it odd? So I mean, it is, it's always the timing, just like, you know, we'll talk about it

00:05:17.720 for a second later, but you know, a virus is out there again and you know, elections will be coming

00:05:23.600 up and blah, blah, blah, and the whole thing. So, I mean, it is, it is suspicious. I know we all

00:05:29.760 have different feelings about this and I did not prep you guys to discuss this, but you know,

00:05:35.000 what are your just off the cuff thoughts, BJ? I'm going to come to you first about the correlation

00:05:40.300 of releasing these things. And so my thought was listening to Burchette was maybe some of these

00:05:47.240 people just wanted to get lost before they got involved in anything. And what he was implying

00:05:53.800 was that maybe our, not our friends, like maybe China, I'm just saying, you know, uh-oh, sorry,

00:06:00.520 Marcella like maybe China or somebody was like hey they have the information we want and so

00:06:06.860 we're going to take them so just off the cuff BJ what do you think uh I don't know it's you're not

00:06:13.800 gonna be surprised but I'm skeptical and the reason is you know I had somebody uh who was

00:06:20.240 shall we say mobbed up that I knew from the age of well since my bris since I was a little kid

00:06:26.700 and grew up learning through his eyes how the world actually works

00:06:31.860 and some fascinating stories.

00:06:33.820 I think a lot of us get the impression of how things work from the Hollywood movie bias

00:06:40.200 and things are a lot more subtle and a lot more sophisticated

00:06:45.220 and a lot less brazen than we're led to believe.

00:06:49.540 So this is why all the correlation stuff, I'm like,

00:06:52.320 yeah that's not how the world works and uh so i'm not i'm not into you know something i can recommend

00:06:59.200 there is a very good podcast conservative podcast called red-pilled america and they just did a

00:07:07.200 series on the conspiracy economy and in their opinion what has really invaded the conservative

00:07:14.640 space uh it's fantastic you should watch it but i think that is that's what this uh i would

00:07:20.960 would categorize this under that class. I'm not into correlation. Correlation does not imply

00:07:29.980 causation. And I think we're just doing a little bit too much of that, in my opinion. I'm open to

00:07:35.600 being completely wrong. It's just kind of how I see things. I know Scott didn't believe in the

00:07:42.300 whole UFO alien thing, but the missing scientist thing or dead scientist thing to me just strikes

00:07:49.980 a different chord i don't know i mean oh i'm gonna get in so much trouble today if i say the things

00:07:56.220 i want to say i gotta like do it say it's fun i'm just you know oh god hold on you know like

00:08:05.100 let's just what what some people call like pain is her opinion it's my opinion people just listening

00:08:11.260 and allegedly i have no knowledge of this but you know like even like you know what they called the

00:08:15.660 clinton body count i mean come on you know it's i'm just saying like it's weird it's just weird

00:08:24.060 wasn't it scott who said accurately that when you know you're world famous you know a lot of people

00:08:30.460 so it becomes really easy to correlate just about anyone in the world you know i think that's what

00:08:36.700 we're saying maybe all right marcella i i know where you're gonna go but let's go what do you

00:08:42.420 think um you know one of the things that i was while you guys were talking was thinking something

00:08:48.260 that that scott would always say maybe they're trying to what was it cracking like timber shed

00:08:55.700 is very important in the house and um what they're trying to feed him is maybe this information so

00:09:04.660 that he can look less serious for other other things that he talks about um so that's one of

00:09:13.240 the theories that scott had about tucker that some of the things that he talks about um were fed to

00:09:21.060 him and made and he was made to believe them in order to make him look less uh credible honest

00:09:31.200 or less professional i don't know what you would call it what scott would remember but um

00:09:37.280 well that's what i would think the kraken related to sydney powell who was um pointing out things

00:09:45.040 that she had found about venezuela being involved in rigging the voting machines and he was like

00:09:51.520 nope nope nope nope nope and i was like oh yeah yeah yeah no you're you know like you're getting

00:09:56.460 dribs and drabs and turns out the kraken was real so you never well no it is i mean like they it's

00:10:04.780 alleged it's alleged um i'm not holding up alleged right now i'll just say it's still my opinion

00:10:11.260 because i actually like really follow this story and so i think my opinion is going to end up being

00:10:16.780 right but that's also just my opinion all right oh and i'm coming to you now so you know how are

00:10:21.980 you feeling first i would say there are there are actually files out there now i'm looking at war.gov

00:10:27.200 slash ufo and there's 161 files that have been dropped there yeah um that look like they're all

00:10:32.320 released just today so fresh fresh stuff out there i don't know that anybody's had much time to go

00:10:37.800 through it all but i see a bunch of videos a bunch of pdf files um i opened the first pdf file it was

00:10:43.780 kind of like some old crinkly papered brown documents and i think it looks like a lot of

00:10:49.780 the PDF files are just like reports that people have made of seeing UAPs or UFOs and then there

00:10:56.300 are a bunch of videos but I'm scrolling through them and they're all kind of grainy little dots

00:11:01.640 going around on the screen so I don't see anything that's like a smoking gun oh my god aliens are

00:11:07.640 here it's just more like here's some of the reports we have here's some of the things we've

00:11:11.280 captured that look weird but it doesn't really prove anything so far from what I've seen I mean

00:11:16.740 again there may be some more interesting ones out there because i haven't looked at all 161 but um

00:11:23.700 come on i don't know i i tend to think that um you know it probably partly is just kind of like

00:11:31.020 the epstein files okay we promised to do this so let's do it and i don't i i don't know that

00:11:35.580 they're really gonna release a lot of stuff that would be like a huge thing i mean i've said this

00:11:40.340 before it's like i i tend to think the approach would be different if they were really going to

00:11:45.620 have we're not alone sort of revelations well let's go to our next clip okay um and they also

00:11:52.020 did say that they were gonna just release some stuff slowly and then it was gonna progress

00:11:57.300 but let's just hear the next clip and we'll i just want to keep this going and by the way

00:12:01.800 maybe i'm the only one here that's gonna really believe this stuff let's go

00:12:06.360 this is the week of some kind of disclosure can you give us any insight as to what's going on

00:12:12.960 Oddly enough, I got a call that tomorrow at 3 o'clock, I'm going to be briefed over the phone by, I think, one of Hedgeseth's top dogs is going to go over some stuff with me that they've got, and I have no earthly idea.

00:12:29.920 I don't want everybody to get their hopes up.

00:12:33.120 I don't have a lot of faith in our government.

00:12:35.500 president trump's always been great to me he's never lied to me but i i don't know that he

00:12:40.700 knows the right questions to ask and the right people to talk to because i mean this thing's

00:12:44.840 been covered up at least since 1947 and i just don't think they're gonna they don't give up

00:12:51.660 that easy the war pimps at the pentagon and everybody else they just don't give up that easy

00:12:56.340 i like how he says i have no earthly idea i'm like oh i wish you said unearthly idea but anyway

00:13:04.380 so i you know wonder what that call is about but wait before we do a little bit more one more clip

00:13:11.260 and this is from our friend at nasa uh jared isaac man um let's listen to him and then we'll

00:13:19.200 talk about it you've said uh before that the odds that aliens exist is pretty high nasa is actively

00:13:25.040 looking for them that's part of what nasa does of course what exactly are you looking for a lot of

00:13:29.740 what we're doing is just looking for, you know, what are the building blocks to life and biosignatures

00:13:34.560 that are out there. Better than 90% chance you bring the samples home from Mars, you will prove

00:13:38.240 that there was once microbial life on Mars. And I think most people look up at the night sky and

00:13:43.980 say, surely it's out there somewhere. You know, you have 2 trillion galaxies. We barely know our

00:13:48.080 own star system, let alone all the other stars in the Milky Way galaxy, let alone 2 trillion other

00:13:52.800 stars. But you get samples back from Mars that say there was once microbial life there. Europa

00:13:57.360 clipper sends back biosignatures dragonfly goes to uh saturn's moon of titan and sends back

00:14:02.740 biosignatures habitable worlds observatory launches and says oh we looked at all these

00:14:06.900 other exoplanets and goldilocks zones there's biosignatures there it changes the game to what

00:14:11.260 if it's everywhere what are the odds that someone else or another species or another form of life

00:14:16.700 has found us i would say extremely low human civilization is just a small span of time relative

00:14:23.900 to the age of the universe, even relative to the age of our planet itself, as long as you

00:14:28.460 acknowledge that the speed of light is your galactic speed limit and how close we are to

00:14:34.360 other stars and how close we are to other galaxies on a scale that's extremely hard,

00:14:40.120 I think, for most people to really appreciate. It's very hard for me to even appreciate the odds

00:14:44.200 of intelligent life finding us at a time period where we are alive as we know ourselves to be

00:14:49.180 right now. It would be, I would say, almost impossible.

00:14:53.900 so interesting all right so all right i'm going to do the same roundabout so bj um thoughts on

00:15:02.120 those last two clips you don't have to have any but i'm just wondering yeah i think um yeah i'm

00:15:09.160 looking at the list on um war.gov and you know there's documents from jim i'm looking at one

00:15:16.300 from jim lovell when he was involved in the gemini project and saying that when he was in space he

00:15:22.760 would see particles. Okay, great. Particles does not mean an alien. And I think what we're seeing

00:15:29.540 is this shift of the goalpost. I've had somebody who's very, very into this, who's very close to

00:15:34.900 me, said, no, what it is now is it's another species on the planet. And I guess they're

00:15:41.640 underwater or whatever. Who knows what it is? And I'm like, no, no, I was told aliens in space. Like,

00:15:47.140 I wish, I wish it was true because if it was true, it would mean all of our understandings of physics are completely wrong and that interstellar travel is actually possible.

00:15:59.240 But we keep moving away from the original claims of there's aliens around the world visiting the planet Earth and everything we see is always, I don't know, it's a claim of somebody who knew somebody who saw something or something was seen that we don't understand what it is.

00:16:17.140 okay, well, sometimes we can just not know what something is. It does happen.

00:16:22.240 Marcella, what do you think about the potential that this is just a distraction? Because, you

00:16:27.680 know, we have a lot of distraction news versus something real. You know, probably 90% it's a

00:16:36.960 distraction. And one thing that I would say is if it truly is, if there truly is, we recover bodies

00:16:44.160 of aliens and we recovered spaceships or however you know with roswell and everything else that

00:16:50.480 people are claiming would the government really release it maybe this release is to calm people

00:16:56.240 down to show the grainy pictures the bad data and go look over there you know there's nothing to be

00:17:03.440 seen here because you would never release that you would just you just would never i i don't think

00:17:10.240 they would release it because it would shock people and it would cause huge issues with our

00:17:17.520 allies or enemies or so ever so maybe it's one it could be a distraction for us not to be

00:17:25.280 twofold it could be a distraction for us not to look at you know uh not put too much emphasis on

00:17:31.040 the iran war on anything that's happening currently um i think we're gonna talk about it

00:17:40.240 some kind of ship somewhere alleged uh ship with new virus coming in and so it's like focusing us

00:17:48.480 somewhere else and at the same time it's also maybe lessening the gravitas of the ufo data

00:17:56.320 okay that's a good analysis owen yeah i'm again i'm still skeptical just based on the approach

00:18:03.840 of just dumping files that it can't be something earth shattering in terms of you know oh my god

00:18:09.040 this is proof because i think you again i mean i've said this before but it's like if you were

00:18:15.460 going to release that type of information i think trump would know that you can't do it that way you

00:18:21.220 you would have to like have some kind of announcement from the white house that basically

00:18:25.640 is a reveal that says we're not alone we do have aliens you know this is true and you know try and

00:18:33.100 somehow assuage the american public you're not going to just dump a bunch of files out there

00:18:37.680 that have proof in them so i tend to think it's just going to be okay here's all the stuff we've

00:18:42.520 gathered that were was classified that now we're declassifying but it's not going to be anything

00:18:47.020 saying like that the you know the whole program out in groom lake is true and we actually have

00:18:54.000 all these flying saucers and we've reverse engineered all this technology and all that i

00:18:58.200 think all that would remain classified and it would never be released in this way so that's

00:19:04.840 the way i look at it is that it's just you know we're trying to give you some information because

00:19:10.040 you asked for some information and it's not going to be anything more than just the type of stuff

00:19:14.100 that we've seen in the past where you'll have a grainy video with a bunch of lights jumping around

00:19:17.880 or you'll have documents that are from a typewriter back in 1953 that talks about somebody reporting a

00:19:24.960 ufo okay so i mean i don't know i mean i literally have i have my own you know my take is i've always

00:19:34.380 just felt like this, this can't be it. Um, and that, I mean, not to be mean, I'm including myself,

00:19:42.820 but like, we're like stupid, you know, like as a species, like, you know, like there's like a whole 0.98

00:19:48.260 world out there and like, this is like the best we can do. I just don't believe that. Um, there's 1.00

00:19:53.600 a whole, not world, but a whole universe, a whole galaxy, a whole system. And how could like this

00:19:59.440 one planet just be it. Like, oh, we're the only ones with life on it. Come on. Anyway, that's just

00:20:05.460 me. All right. So we'll see what happens with that. I heard so many crazy other tidbits about

00:20:12.400 this whole thing. And I think when we're out on the boat this summer, I'm going to be feeling a

00:20:17.480 little different that there's aliens underneath me now. Underneath and above. I know like, oh my

00:20:23.320 God. Um, but I'm, I'm open to it. I'm open to it. All right. So as Marcella indicated,

00:20:30.320 I don't want to spend a lot of time on this, you guys, cause I don't want to get like into

00:20:33.640 the hysteria of this virus. I'm not even saying it, but a I'm never going on a cruise. I've told

00:20:41.440 you before. I do not want to be trapped on a fricking Petri dish with people. Um, and also

00:20:47.980 like let's just make sure we take a breath and a beat before we get nutty and let's you know just

00:20:55.780 see what's happening here but i saw this clip of dr drew who you guys you know dr drew is always so

00:21:02.000 like measured and calm and his words are so smooth like he's like butter but i love this clip because

00:21:08.960 he's just had it so let's just listen to this we'll talk quickly about it on the other side and

00:21:14.040 them move on ready i'm worried really worried you know we we have a hanta hanta virus outbreak in a

00:21:20.700 in a uh in a cruise ship and everybody's wanting to do it all over again it's are you

00:21:25.020 freaking not good it's not the virus a respiratory virus stop it stop it now stop the the news

00:21:32.360 agencies need to stop everybody needs to stop hanta virus been around a long time it's it's

00:21:36.780 nasty yeah so is tb so is a lot of other things so is rickettsia let's deal with the rats problem

00:21:42.220 downtown of los angeles we have murine typhus and bubon and pneumonic plague breaking up

00:21:47.280 breaking out deal with that but i digress the fact is that there are structural and philosophical

00:21:58.060 excesses in public health that need to be kind of addressed and is anyone in public health

00:22:04.860 thinking about this i don't think they are i mean i think one of the most

00:23:55.660 okay so amen dr drew first of all we love you so much and i don't think i've ever seen you that

00:24:06.260 for hassles and i'm a little bit obsessed it was so good it was like hitting us all like yeah like

00:24:12.000 not again um and so just the one thing i do want to talk about with you guys is yeah it's like i

00:24:18.460 don't know if it's good and bad but i won't believe anything anyone says i mean i've stopped

00:24:24.700 believing things a long time ago. So again, you know, if this is some kind of a crisis, it's just

00:24:30.640 like, you know, it's just going to be interesting because I think so many people have had it like

00:24:35.420 Dr. Drew there. So Owen, have you given this any thought yet? How are you going to feel moving

00:24:41.700 forward about this? I'm just mocking it every chance I get. I've seen reports that somebody

00:24:46.580 has been working on a vaccine for it for a few years now. I think it's one of the big pharma

00:24:50.860 companies um i've seen that you know there was some report of somebody saying that it would be

00:24:56.800 great if or not great but you know that that if you wanted to create a great bioweapon

00:25:00.960 making uh hantavirus human transmissible would be a perfect candidate for it and it just seems 0.67

00:25:09.160 like weird timing this is the one where i would say this is like you know why is this coming up

00:25:13.700 right before midterms when it seems pretty clear to me that there was a massive conspiracy

00:25:19.700 to try and keep trump from being elected because of covid they were the media was like just

00:25:26.560 relentless in terms of saying oh every death that we have it's trump's fault he killed these people

00:25:33.180 and like you know they were blaming trump for everything they had death counts on cnn 24 hours

00:25:38.500 a day it was always there no matter what they were talking about and they made this massive deal out

00:25:43.640 of it when it really wasn't nearly as bad as it as they were saying and they they were trying to 0.94

00:25:49.660 blame trump for the whole thing from the start to finish and you know it it was just so hypocritical

00:25:55.140 because you had nancy pelosi at the beginning of covid saying oh every will everybody come down 0.71

00:25:58.700 and party with us in chinatown and then flipped completely to oh my god trump isn't taking this 0.95

00:26:03.780 seriously and he's killing everybody and all this and it's just you know ridiculous and i think it's 0.80

00:26:10.040 it's you know terrible that this this sort of thing would start becoming something people talk

00:26:15.960 about now because they're going to of course draw parallels to covet and try and use it to

00:26:20.560 say we can't allow republicans to be in congress since trump isn't up for election but they're

00:26:26.460 going to try and do it i know that's what's going on and i'm just mocking it every chance i get in

00:26:30.680 terms of saying this is just ridiculous all right so bj will you be mocking or or what um you know

00:26:38.780 one of the things i love about latin america that i learned in all of my time there is generally 0.90

00:26:44.000 the people have nothing but contempt for the media and politicians and they think they're all corrupt

00:26:49.600 and i don't believe a word that anybody says uh and you know with ufos as well not just viruses

00:26:55.260 i remember being in mexico and ufos came up and somebody said yeah we have them all the time i'm

00:27:00.340 like really and who cares i'm busy they don't leave me they leave me alone i leave them alone

00:27:06.240 And I wish, I don't know what it is with people in the West now,

00:27:10.340 maybe our lives are not exciting enough.

00:27:12.800 We're desperate for some sort of chaos in our life to pique our adrenaline

00:27:18.380 and to get us into this state of, oh, my God, the world is ending.

00:27:23.260 And I think just the media and certain political groups,

00:27:27.180 and most importantly foreign agents, I think,

00:27:30.340 are exploiting this weakness in the West to turn it against us.

00:27:33.740 I just wish people became a little bit more skeptical of what they saw online and in the media and from our politicians.

00:27:41.900 I'm coming back to you in a second, BJ.

00:27:43.680 OK, Marcella, your thoughts, your thoughts and prayers?

00:27:47.760 Not again. Not again.

00:27:50.180 No, no, this is not going to work out.

00:27:53.400 So I know that some people in the chat were talking about it.

00:27:57.000 Gene Hackman and his wife were found dead last year in their house.

00:28:02.400 They died allegedly from, from this virus and the, it wasn't the Andes hantivirus version.

00:28:12.400 It was the mice only version, but you know, it's been around for a long time.

00:28:19.400 And the, this whole creation is just wanting people to be afraid.

00:28:24.400 Uh, one of the things that Scott always taught us is that fear is always so persuasive.

00:28:30.400 You know, I don't know if the cruise ship industry, if some kind of like they don't want cruises to go on or some kind of scheme.

00:28:41.080 I'm not sure what the angle is, but it's definitely, you know, maybe it's the midterm angle.

00:28:47.960 Like, let's start this off.

00:28:50.060 We need, you know, we need people to vote from home, kind of like they did during COVID.

00:28:55.300 it. We need some kind of, you know, distraction so that we can cheat and defraud allegedly,

00:29:01.480 uh, the election, or maybe it's like, maybe it's a little more closer to travel and attacking that

00:29:12.140 as well. I don't know. I don't know. All right. So yeah. Um, uh, Jean died. Jean Hagman died from

00:29:21.040 that virus and the wife had Alzheimer's or something like that. So they didn't both die

00:29:25.780 from it. I, you guys are letting us know. Thank you. Um, so BJ back to you when you said like a

00:29:32.060 foreign agent, like this could be like, you know, someone interfering. Do you like, what do you like

00:29:39.200 just expand that for us? I mean, we see this in politics all the time. You know, one of the

00:29:43.660 problems that people make is they think everything is a three letter agency. Uh, it's usually

00:29:48.340 political parties in the West or NGOs or groups like the People's Forum, stuff like that.

00:29:55.060 It is in their interest, especially right now, where places like China are so economically

00:29:59.780 weakened that it's the Yuri Bezmenov strategy of we need to weaken the West. And by the way, 0.76

00:30:06.020 the West does that in certain countries that are adversarial towards them as well. It's kind

00:30:10.900 of a back and forth game that everybody knows how to manipulate populations. The difference now...

00:30:16.580 we're sort of doing that now aren't we with what you know this war well no i the war is something

00:30:23.380 different i think but we can talk about that later but i think with the advent of social media

00:30:28.180 yeah i think just allows uh any sort of narrative it allows them through repetition

00:30:34.500 to seed any sort of discontent and this is what's fuel fueling oikophobia amongst people in the left

00:30:41.140 and some on the right now within the west oikophobia is the opposite of xenophobia it's

00:30:45.860 It's when you hate your own culture and you hate your own ethnicity and all that sort of stuff.

00:30:50.320 That's what we see from all the protests online.

00:30:52.640 So I think it's just allowed them to weaponize at scale this ability to exploit this weakness we have in the human condition,

00:31:00.680 which is if we don't have an explanation for something, then we go to the most irrational, emotional explanation for something.

00:31:08.240 And there's like no in between because we're kind of panicking, right?

00:31:11.620 This is something that comes from our ancestry, and it's an evolutionary trait.

00:31:17.180 The fight or flight thing.

00:31:18.340 Oh, if we don't know what it is, it's got to be the absolute worst thing possible.

00:31:22.500 And we just freak out, and I think this is exploiting it.

00:31:24.860 Yeah, no, that's a good point.

00:31:27.280 All right, so that's kind of going to be it for the virus talk.

00:31:31.440 I just can't stand it anymore.

00:31:34.020 Oh, yes?

00:31:34.420 Let me correct the record.

00:31:35.760 Gene Hackman didn't die of the Hantavirus.

00:31:38.700 His wife did, who was taking care of him.

00:31:40.880 And then he ended up dying afterwards.

00:31:43.580 Of Alzheimer's, right?

00:31:45.080 Yeah.

00:31:46.720 Heart failure, Alzheimer's.

00:31:50.020 They're dead, and we are sorry.

00:31:53.320 They died, I don't know.

00:31:55.320 I'm not laughing at it, but we are having quite the chat about how they died in the chat.

00:32:01.440 Okay, so I want to move on to our next favorite topic, which was, oh, Owen, I'm just going to play this clip first.

00:32:09.960 We're going to talk on the other side, but we're shifting to Iran. And let's listen to

00:32:16.060 President Trump. Let me just see one thing. Oh, am I missing one clip I really wanted to put in

00:32:23.520 for you guys? Shoot. All right. I'm going to play this and I'm going to try to find that clip at the

00:32:27.820 same time. Let's go. You're facing an opponent right now in Iran that has refused to submit.

00:32:33.920 You seem optimistic now to maybe push through a deal. What's different about this moment now

00:32:38.720 and in other moments where a deal has seemed close.

00:32:41.420 Well, why do you say they refuse to submit?

00:32:43.680 You don't know that.

00:32:44.560 You don't know what's going on behind.

00:32:45.720 They were firing on U.S. ships a few days ago.

00:32:47.100 Yeah, no, a few days ago.

00:32:48.160 It was a long time ago.

00:32:49.660 You know, in the world of war, a few days ago,

00:32:52.640 no, they want to make a deal badly.

00:32:54.560 And we'll see if we get there.

00:32:55.860 If we get there, they can't have nuclear weapons.

00:32:57.820 You know, it's very simple.

00:32:58.840 But what's not to submit?

00:33:01.120 So they had a Navy with 159 ships,

00:33:03.420 and now every ship is blown to pieces

00:33:05.180 and lying at the bottom of the water.

00:33:07.380 they had an air force, lots of planes, and they don't have any planes. They don't have any

00:33:11.360 anti-aircraft. They don't have any radar left. Their missiles are mostly decimated. They have

00:33:17.160 some, they have probably 18, 19 percent, but not a lot by comparison to what they had.

00:33:23.460 And their leaders are all dead. So I think we won. Now it's only a question of, look,

00:33:32.080 if we left right now Iran, it would take them 20 years to rebuild. You would call that

00:33:36.360 we're in good shape right fantastic we're in good shape okay oh and i'm coming to you first

00:33:44.540 um just chatting up yeah well i mean i think the the story that that was part of was that

00:33:50.960 apparently there's some cia dossier that supposedly was leaked to the washington post

00:33:55.720 that was refuting trump's claim about arian's missiles being mostly decimated that this supposed

00:34:02.040 a CIA dossier says they still have 75% of their mobile launchers and 70% of their missiles and

00:34:08.260 they've recovered their facilities. And that of course is very different than what Trump has told

00:34:12.560 us, which is that it's mostly decimated. They have a few, maybe 18, 19%, but not a lot by comparison

00:34:17.740 to what they had. So clearly there's a disconnect there. I think to me, the big story is just that

00:34:22.860 somebody is leaking information to the press that they shouldn't be. I don't know whether or not

00:34:28.840 it's true and i don't put any stock in it because again they're just quoting anonymous sources and

00:34:32.960 all that stuff so you don't know whether it's real or not but even if it is it's just a cia

00:34:36.880 assessment it doesn't mean that's the truth either there might be other reports that say

00:34:40.840 exactly what trump said and so it may be a selective leak just to try and make trump look

00:34:46.160 bad but it it seems to me like somebody in the cia assuming that this leak really happened

00:34:50.560 and it wasn't just made up by the washington post that somebody's trying to make trump look bad and

00:34:55.380 that to me is the main story. It's not about what the actual truth is for Iran. I think there

00:35:01.040 certainly is a lot of truth to what Trump said, that we've had a lot of military success there

00:35:04.880 and that we've taken out a lot of their capabilities. And I don't know what the

00:35:09.280 numbers are, but it's terrible to me that people within our government are essentially trying to

00:35:17.040 subvert our government and trying to embarrass our government and trying to just politically

00:35:21.480 damage trump's reputation or the administration's reputation and i hope they catch these people and

00:35:27.700 put them in prison marcel i'm going to come to you next um do you have thoughts about this

00:35:32.620 it's not um it's not what is being reported it's who's reporting it you know so washington post

00:35:42.360 reporting something um i i don't know how to put any kind of maybe i'm from latin america where i

00:35:49.040 don't trust the press or the government. So it's hard to say in this case, who is telling the

00:35:54.660 truth, but maybe it's a middle of, maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. We have decimated

00:36:03.000 them, but there's still some left, some weapons left kind of thing. But I actually think that

00:36:11.600 the other theory could be that the cia um is leaking these this reports because there is double

00:36:18.840 agents with iran or something like that oh yeah oh yeah i think so too dangerous i know bj

00:36:27.880 yeah i think uh you're on to something marcella i i wouldn't trust this at all from the washington

00:36:35.540 post it's you know goes back to you know who's the news but you know one of the things i often

00:36:40.720 talk about and i learned about in politics is the degree of political entryism in the west and how

00:36:45.540 dangerous it is and how dishonest it has made our media not our media was always 100 on the ball

00:36:53.600 but this phenomenon is relatively new in the western world where it's just completely false

00:36:59.200 like i remember it kind of tangentially related to this issue on a global stage remember jamal

00:37:04.960 Khashoggi? Oh, Jamal Khashoggi, the journalist. He ain't a journalist. He was an arms dealer.

00:37:11.260 His uncle Adnan Khashoggi was central to the Iran-Contra hearing. They are like a mafia family

00:37:17.760 in Saudi Arabia, and everybody knows it. They're foreigners. They're Uzbeki. But people in the West 1.00

00:37:24.020 don't understand the nuance of how these things are related. So it becomes very easy for people

00:37:29.320 to engage these, you know, foreign entities, to engage in political entryism through institutions

00:37:35.520 like the media, like the government. You know, they come here, and what do they do? They build

00:37:40.260 Somali leering centers, and then they start laundering more than their GDP and stealing the 1.00

00:37:45.580 money. And that's just, that's the problem with having such an open system. And I think that's 1.00

00:37:51.600 where you see a lot of this BS that occurs in the media, is from entities in similar in terms of

00:37:58.000 their scope, and their ambitions. So I wouldn't trust any of this.

00:38:02.320 Owen, do you want to add to that?

00:38:04.520 No, I mean, I agree. I think I don't put any credibility into this, and I don't think it's

00:38:10.360 anything other than a political operation.

00:38:12.740 Yeah, it's so unfortunate. All right. I mean, do you guys want to talk any more about that?

00:38:19.300 I mean, it's just going to, you know, it just changes every day.

00:38:23.860 I mean, in terms of the overall situation, I've seen stories that there was some firing on ships going on around the Strait of Hormuz.

00:38:33.060 So it does seem like there's still some military blow-ups happening.

00:38:37.520 I know we recently took out six of their smaller boats on the Strait of Hormuz.

00:38:41.920 And so it does seem like there's still little skirmishes happening, but certainly nothing huge.

00:38:47.840 And it's impossible to know what's going on with the negotiations.

00:38:52.120 you know so i think we just have to wait and see how it turns out i don't necessarily trust what

00:38:57.580 trump is telling us either but i just you know he's i think doing what you would expect from a

00:39:03.820 negotiator standpoint trying to say we're close to a deal we're going to get to a deal they don't

00:39:07.700 have a choice you know and he's trying to make that happen and so maybe he what he's telling us

00:39:12.800 is exactly what's accurate or maybe he's trying to make that reality um but either way i support

00:39:19.000 what he's doing because he's trying to bring an end to this and so i think either way i'm happy

00:39:23.580 with what trump's doing and i i think um you know it is hard to know even what the situation on the

00:39:29.900 ground there is because they've killed so many of their leaders that you don't even really know

00:39:33.980 who's in charge or how much control they have over everyone so it's really hard to put it all

00:39:38.420 together i mean it's like what's left to kill and destroy over there it's like every time they're

00:39:44.180 like, Oh, we destroyed 8,000 boats and 57,000 leaders. And there's like, you know, another

00:39:49.760 five boats today. But I feel like, uh, you know, Iran's putting up a good fight, even

00:39:56.260 from like their, um, you know, they're kind of laughing at Trump in a way because they're

00:40:02.140 not really taking him seriously. This, this is me talking. Okay. You guys, I like, I don't

00:40:08.160 feel like they're taking him seriously. And I feel like they're just like, go ahead, make

00:40:11.280 your threats and like we're challenging you because they're not opening the street and

00:40:17.280 they're not complying and they're not stopping lobbing bombs at other people so i i mean i do 0.95

00:40:23.820 any of you feel that way like they're sort of making trump look like a fool i feel like or

00:40:29.540 am i just wrong uh bj i'll let you take the sharpest angle at me first i don't know that 0.98

00:40:35.680 they're making him look like a fool per se, but one thing's for sure. The IRGC, and this is

00:40:41.440 difficult for Westerners to understand, will never give up. They will never give up until they're all

00:40:47.180 dead. Simple as that. And if they end up dead, then that's part of their theological ambitions 0.97

00:40:54.140 anyways, or at least what they profess to be their theological ambitions. So, I mean, Trump's between

00:41:00.740 a rock and a hard place because they have no navy. They have no rock and a hard place. He knows what

00:41:05.540 the situation, but they have no Navy, they have no Air Force, they have no air defense,

00:41:10.500 but what do they have? They have the equivalent of what Colombia used to have, which is a FARC 0.97

00:41:15.260 type militia that is holding the country hostage. And he's trying to get rid of this militia

00:41:21.360 without committing US troops. So there's a certain amount apparently of Israeli troops that are on

00:41:27.260 the ground there that are trying to weave through this and help people with an uprising. And if he

00:41:32.660 needs more time to prevent this from actually being boots on the ground and a war and he needs

00:41:39.660 a month or two months or three months for this process to play out for this regime to collapse

00:41:45.700 I think we should give it to them and one of the things that happened I saw yesterday finally

00:41:49.420 their Iran's big problem is their infrastructure for pumping oil because they can't export any of

00:41:56.080 oil it's piling up and they don't have places to reserve and store the oil and there's for a whole

00:42:03.280 bunch of reasons if they do not get that oil out to market the entire system implodes and destroys

00:42:10.960 itself similar to what happened to Venezuela's system so now they're dumping oil directly into 0.78

00:42:16.160 the sea that's their that's Iran's solution so for all the you know uh people on the left the 0.58

00:42:22.000 environmentalists yeah they're now dumping it into the sea so they are on

00:42:26.080 their last legs we got to be it's frustrating to be patient but remember he

00:42:31.060 he achieved the objectives of World War two in 30 seconds in 30 seconds and we're

00:42:38.200 complaining like just you know let's give it a little bit time I know it's 0.99

00:42:42.100 frustrating but 47 years of this chaos in the Middle East that's been caused by

00:42:47.200 this regime may be coming to an end peacefully and I think we should be

00:43:34.420 um marianne i will check out scott besent's latest on the subject i really like him um

00:43:45.880 yeah so all right so owen or marcella do you want to chime in on that or

00:43:50.840 anything about it well i think another aspect i would layer on there is that i saw a story

00:43:59.560 recently that i think i think it was today that uh china has kind of reversed their stance that

00:44:05.220 they a few days ago had said they were going to ignore all the iran sanctions and tell their

00:44:11.040 companies to go ahead and do business with all these sanctioned companies in iran or with iran

00:44:16.280 and now they've flipped and said don't give them loans don't don't do that so it seems like that

00:44:21.680 trump has most likely told china you better back off on this and that they're playing ball so it

00:44:27.080 does seem like the strategy is to economically strangle iran into compliance so i think you

00:44:34.360 know again the oil is a big piece of it but also the sanctions and so i think to me there is

00:44:39.980 enormous economic pressure being put on them and you know in terms of military i think trump could

00:44:47.100 take out their power infrastructure and and all these other things that he's threatened to do

00:44:51.980 but it would be kind of disastrous and a human rights problem potentially just because you might

00:44:57.600 kill a whole bunch of people there because they don't have power and they don't have water or

00:45:01.240 whatever it is and so i think that is a drastic solution but it's kind of like you know it wouldn't 0.98

00:45:06.480 be hard to do it's just you know you don't want to do that so i think that's why trump is trying

00:45:13.420 this other approach to say maybe if we take away their money and take away their ability to get

00:45:18.060 rid of their oil and all that that they may end up being forced into compliance that way so my

00:45:22.840 hope is that it'll work um marcella do you want to say anything on this yeah if i can um there's

00:45:30.840 you know there's two different stories you know Iran has two different stories that is given

00:45:38.580 to their people they're not being defeated nothing's happening they're the strongest

00:45:44.020 most battle ready the same with Trump you know he gives us two different stories in a way you know

00:45:52.060 there's the internal one and then there's the external one but at the end of the day like Vijay

00:45:58.860 said if we don't want to put what's on the ground and be able to still have

00:46:04.260 them comply with all the points regarding the nuclear weapons that they

00:46:11.080 have or nuclear dust is it anyway so in order to do that you need to wait it out

00:46:18.980 you need to patiently wait it out for a while to have you know for them to fold

00:46:25.860 because they're not able to, CENTCOM just talked about this today, they're not able to move any of

00:46:35.320 the oil through the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's oil. Now they're doing it by rail. Some of it is still

00:46:42.080 being done by rail with China in order to avoid the U.S. blockade, but the U.S. blockade is

00:46:49.580 hurting them. But you're dealing with they are the IRGC and

00:46:56.900 moolahs that their belief is that they must be martyrs and 0.99

00:47:04.220 must die to the end. So it's kind of hard to deal with that type 0.99

00:47:09.300 of philosophy. And they also don't care about their own

00:47:12.240 people, at least the majority of them. So sadly, I want this to

00:47:18.440 end well because it it's causing suffering uh tremendous suffering everywhere so all right so

00:47:26.920 we'll move along from it but you know i i guess for me it's like it's not that deep um like for

00:47:34.120 me it's just like i hate it like i just i don't like war i don't want people to die um you know 0.75

00:47:41.160 what i've understood is that you know you would have to put boots on the ground for a karg island

00:47:46.360 i just um you know and when you're when you're a a culture that cares about life and you're

00:47:53.960 dealing with people that don't not i'm not saying the iranian people but their government doesn't

00:47:58.760 care and they'll die you know for their philosophy in life but it's hard it's just hard um i don't

00:48:05.320 know so let's just hope for the best possible outcome obviously um you know trump is you know

00:48:12.120 he's got balls he went in there to do it something no one else did they talked a lot about it but

00:48:17.300 you know so i want to move on to one other story we only have about 15 minutes left and my passion 0.95

00:48:23.980 project would be to see brennan go to jail um i hate him with every fiber of my being along with

00:48:31.240 his his other little buddies his squad he's such a nice guy oh why don't you like him and you know

00:48:37.460 what? I can finally say this with my signs. I think he's closeted. I really do. And I think

00:48:46.500 that's why he's frustrated. Just saying. Okay. So anyway, I just wanted... So I had heard a while

00:48:53.000 ago that he was off the table. He wasn't going to be looked into anymore. And I'm like, what? No,

00:48:59.620 no, no. So I just want to play two clips. I want to just talk about this.

00:49:05.080 Here's the first one with Katherine Herridge, and she's another baller.

00:49:09.380 Let's go.

00:49:10.380 Brennan was a paid national security analyst for NBC News.

00:49:15.960 Is it possible that every time Brennan went on television

00:49:18.920 that he was restarting the clock, sort of a furtherance of the conspiracy?

00:49:24.640 Essentially, yes.

00:49:25.440 Not every time he's talking about anything,

00:49:27.360 but if he's literally talking about the conduct back in 2016, 17,

00:49:31.540 And if he's denying kind of tipping the scales against President Trump by getting this intelligence report out, that could work.

00:49:39.860 It's going to be the subject of pretrial litigation.

00:49:42.740 I mean, there's going to be motions to dismiss if you're being somewhat creative with restarting the clock on statute of limitations.

00:49:49.400 But generally speaking, obstructionist behavior, conspiracy conduct designed to keep that thing secret and successful is the type of thing that helps you avoid the statute of limitations.

00:50:00.420 Brennan, like so many of these other former senior national security officials, wrote a book.

00:50:06.740 How much does the book, in his own words, come back to haunt him in a prosecution?

00:50:11.620 That's the common thread through so many of these cases that deal with classified information or politicized behavior.

00:50:18.780 So, boy, the hubris of wanting to get a bestseller tends to trip up people a lot.

00:50:23.560 It may not be something where the book has confessions, right?

00:50:26.360 These are going to be pretty self-serving books.

00:50:27.940 But there could be what they call false exculpatories, like things where he's clearly lying.

00:50:33.240 You can prove that he's lying about something.

00:50:35.100 And then you argue to a judge or jury someday that people lie for a reason, and it's because he knew he did something wrong.

00:50:43.520 All right, Marcella, our attorney.

00:50:46.920 So, I mean, I think you're muted.

00:50:50.620 Could this bring this back up for him?

00:50:52.940 Is there a possibility of him getting in trouble?

00:50:55.960 i mean i guess it depends on the so brennan is still being investigated in connection to the

00:51:04.280 dossier uh in the 2016 elections um but he you know it depends on what exactly is being

00:51:12.880 investigated and what charges are brought up um but he is right in regards to how obstruction

00:51:21.460 of uh in conspiracy affects the statute of limitations um it can help extend it but it

00:51:30.340 but it needs to be proven you know so like you have to have that evidence that there was obstruction

00:51:38.580 and um there was conspiracy you know so it's too hard to know without without having the

00:51:47.060 the indictment or the evidence against Brennan to say legally okay all right so there's possibilities

00:51:56.060 okay so Owen or BJ which one of you want to take this first like does anyone have any

00:52:03.880 insight about this do you does this make sense you know don't you feel like this evidence is

00:52:10.500 out there I thought we kind of got to that point um BJ I'll come to you first I'll go to Owen first

00:52:16.460 All right. It certainly seems to me like there should be plenty of evidence that they have already. I mean, some of it is pretty public already in terms of some of the things he's done, you know, where he put together that letter from all the supposed intelligence places and that he was kind of one of the architects of all the Russia collusion stuff.

00:52:34.280 And so I think to me, it's pretty clear that he did a lot of things that he shouldn't have done and he was trying to subvert Trump. And so I'm hoping they do go after him and I hope they do charge him and I hope he gets convicted.

00:52:45.740 And I think it's well-deserved, and I'm hoping it's coming soon.

00:52:49.920 But, you know, I understand the legal process.

00:52:52.880 I understand that they need to build their case, and they want to make sure it's going to stick.

00:52:56.120 And so I do give them some grace in terms of taking their time to build the case.

00:53:01.540 But my hope is that it will come to something as opposed to just fizzling out.

00:53:07.400 Okay, BJ.

00:53:09.700 I don't know.

00:53:10.560 I think, I mean, I know.

00:53:12.280 Nobody likes Brennan.

00:53:13.980 Part of my concern with him is from another angle.

00:53:17.500 I think it was Guandolo, John Guandolo in 96 or after that.

00:53:23.700 But he explained that in 96 to 99, somewhere in there, that he might have said the Shahada when he was in Saudi Arabia.

00:53:32.560 The Shahada is when you convert.

00:53:34.860 And that he marveled at the Hajj. 0.90

00:53:38.000 You can find all over.

00:53:38.820 This has been known to people for many, many years.

00:53:41.220 and not verified it's never been publicly verified but the reason that's concerning

00:53:47.140 is we see that in canada for example we have a mosque where 85 percent of the attendees are

00:53:53.340 converts and the problem with the converts usually they get recruited by the most extremist elements

00:54:00.660 of uh of the islamic world the isis types and it's this interesting phenomenon i think scott

00:54:07.600 might have talked about this, that when we change, you learn this from hypnosis, when somebody

00:54:13.720 changes their worldview to a completely foreign or new ideology, they often become the most extreme

00:54:21.880 interpretation of it. So for example, somebody who becomes, I don't know, vegan, they decide

00:54:28.100 they're going to abolish meat, they become the most extreme version. Somebody who is Muslim, 1.00

00:54:31.880 who becomes an atheist, often becomes the most extreme version of anti-Islamic ideology. And

00:54:40.260 likewise, often what we find is when people convert into Islam, they convert via the ISIS 0.95

00:54:47.120 pathway, and they become the most extreme version. That's why you saw so many younger people 1.00

00:54:52.280 leaving England, and the number one place for ISIS recruitment was Trinidad and Tobago,

00:54:57.640 to be honest, and they would go, and they become the most extreme interpretation of it.

00:55:01.260 that's why it's a concern it would be interesting to see if this issue comes up in any prosecution

00:55:07.600 against brennan and say explain to us your background in the middle east and your associations

00:55:13.780 there and what were you doing because if that is the case and i could we could be completely wrong

00:55:19.120 that lends credence to the concern of political entryism from people who have loyalties to alien

00:55:25.840 values wow i didn't know that like it's sounding familiar but i did not know that he went over

00:55:33.440 there and allegedly alleged this is all like nothing this none of this is parcel is like help

00:55:43.040 i was just i have something to add that you'll love you'll love this erica so the main the other

00:55:49.600 thing the way they can grit the way they got martha stewart is the way they can get brennan

00:55:54.480 false statements like current false statements if they even interview him for the investigation

00:56:00.680 if they if he gives a statement to them under penalty of perjury and he says something that

00:56:07.340 is not true and they can prove it's not true um for whatever reason he's hiding something or

00:56:13.060 whatever then they can prosecute him for that and which uh one of the people that were was

00:56:19.620 prosecutor for that was famously uh martha poor martha poor marty um although it helped rebrand

00:56:28.520 her which was good um all right so i want to play one last clip because i love this man

00:56:33.520 is it todd blanche you guys i was asking you before blanche i always just know blanche but

00:56:38.480 i love this guy just a quick clip we're talking bde if you don't know the chat we'll let you know

00:56:46.860 Here we go.

00:56:48.780 In a recent interview, former President Barack Obama said, and I quote,

00:56:53.060 the White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go around prosecuting whoever the president wants to prosecute.

00:57:01.220 You're the attorney general. What is your response?

00:57:05.480 Well, coincidentally, I happen to have, I think, a copy of our Constitution.

00:57:15.660 So if we want, we can read our Constitution together.

00:57:19.460 Article 2 says the executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America.

00:57:24.560 It does not say that the attorney general stands off to the side.

00:57:28.180 So as a I'm an acting attorney general, the attorney general is a member of the cabinet of the president of the United States.

00:57:35.500 The Constitution gives the president power.

00:57:38.220 So I question people in this country that suggest that President Trump, as the chief executive of the United States, does not have the authority or the right or shouldn't be leading this country in all areas, including what we need to be doing to get rid of crime in this country.

00:57:58.180 And so I'm not familiar with the comments you just talked about, but to the extent that President Trump calls me and says that he thinks that we have a problem in this country, whether it's this scourge of drugs, illegal immigration, every American wants him to do that, and he should.

00:58:15.400 But the accusation here from the former president is that your department is now charging political adversaries of the president

00:58:24.340 or perceived political adversaries of the president on his behalf to settle scores.

00:58:28.920 There's something extraordinarily rich about a Democrat suggesting that this administration is charging our political adversaries.

00:58:38.280 I mean, first of all, we're not. Second of all, how about we think about what happened the past four years?

00:58:43.520 It wasn't just President Trump that got indicted repeatedly in multiple district courts, in multiple jurisdictions, but it was also his entire administration, what was called into the grand jury.

00:58:54.240 Members of his Secret Service detail had to testify in the grand jury.

00:58:57.540 So I welcome criticism. Let's go.

00:59:01.000 But if you're sitting in a glass house, you ought not throw stones.

00:59:10.500 You're muted.

00:59:11.720 You're muted, Erica.

00:59:13.520 okay ready oh my gosh he is a breath of fresh air for me like that like he's just like sit down son

00:59:22.720 you know relax like talking to this kid pulls out the constitution you see that and the reporter's

00:59:28.840 like oh are we reading together um just you guys just tell me how much you love having him here

00:59:35.760 now having blanche here oh sorry uh oh when you you start us off yeah no i think it's great and

00:59:42.300 And I think he's correct.

00:59:44.080 I mean, I'm not a lawyer like Marcella, but in my read of the Constitution is that the

00:59:48.380 attorney general is part of the executive branch, and that means he reports to the president.

00:59:51.680 And I understand there may have been a norm or whatever you want to call that about saying,

00:59:56.420 oh, that should be independent.

00:59:57.580 But I think that was always fake, always fake.

01:00:00.060 I mean, Eric Holder said he was Obama's wingman, and he clearly was.

01:00:04.300 He was going after his enemies.

01:00:05.660 He was locking up reporters.

01:00:06.680 He was doing all sorts of things that were much worse than anything they're accusing

01:00:09.720 Trump of doing.

01:00:10.420 And I think Biden did the same thing. And, you know, I include all the January 6th prosecutions in that. And it's just horrible to be able to for them to turn around and say, oh, there's this problem with, you know, going after his adversaries when the other side has been doing so many times worse, so many times worse, so blatant.

01:00:29.780 And there were so many people that were so horribly mistreated by the other side.

01:00:33.920 And I don't think that is happening at this point.

01:00:36.200 I think, you know, if I were answering the question, I would say, you know, it's not

01:00:39.980 about whether or not someone is Trump's political adversary.

01:00:42.660 It's about whether they committed crimes.

01:00:44.580 Yeah.

01:00:45.120 And if they've committed crimes, then they need to be brought to justice.

01:00:47.700 And it doesn't matter whether they're a political ally or opponent of Trump that we're going

01:00:52.440 to go after people.

01:00:53.420 And not made up crimes either and not bending the law to make them fit.

01:00:57.080 We have like no time.

01:00:58.280 So, Marcella, give us your quick take. Did you love that?

01:01:03.920 I personally don't love Todd Blanche. Sorry.

01:01:08.880 He is he is the personal was the personal attorney of President Trump.

01:01:14.640 And to me, it his appointment or his soon to be appointment, because he's yet not fully appointed as attorney general,

01:01:22.860 would seem to get to that side of I'm appointing my wingman kind of thing so

01:01:30.100 we'll see you know maybe he turns out to be great it's still to be the term and

01:01:35.080 I think he's in term anyway right not yeah he's yeah BJ your thoughts I think

01:01:41.380 it's just interesting that this is another example when you took a look at

01:01:45.040 Obama's comments of the left doing being guilty of everything they accused their

01:01:50.940 opponents of doing and um i think that's just in what's scary is he can get away they can get away

01:01:58.400 with it and the reason is two movies one screen are people really going to see that oh bj thank
