00:02:42.760 art director, Ming, and we are preparing the art for Scott's biography. So we're surrounded by

00:02:51.860 photographs, drawings, articles, all kinds of documents. And we spent all day yesterday going

00:03:00.120 through everything. It was the third time I had gone through it. So we knew where everything was

00:03:05.480 and it was really just an incredible experience. And we're here now just making sure that we get

00:03:12.600 good images of everything and it's all going to go into the biography so do you have the picture

00:03:17.500 of me that you wanted what um all right so you guys are working on the biography you guys um

00:03:28.000 and your your goal is what date i know joshua posted today from upstairs in the office so

00:03:34.700 what's the date of the biography are we still on track the release date is november 12th

00:03:39.680 Okay, perfect. Just on time. Just on time for your winter reading, the holidays and all of that good stuff. So we want to know. So tell us, how does it feel being in Scott's house right now? I mean, I know it's a little bit different because it's for sale. So, you know, and Scott's not there, but how does it feel being there?

00:04:00.500 well by the way if anybody would like to buy the house it is incredible i was hoping lebron james

00:04:07.320 would come to the golden state warriors it's perfect for a basketball player because it has

00:04:12.480 an indoor basketball court basically so if any nba or wnba players or now i logically named wnba

00:04:22.600 place yeah right here and there are so many memories here and even as we're here you know

00:04:31.800 you can see the morning light starting to come in and it feels like scott's still here it's it's

00:04:38.600 very special in that sense i mean you can feel his warmth in every room and it's

00:04:45.640 quite sacred to those of us who loved him i didn't even want to go into his office because it seemed

00:04:53.400 like you know treading on holy ground in a way but right it is a house it will be sold it's it's the

00:04:59.880 house bert as someone called it on on on x because it has this turret that's in the shape of dilbert's

00:05:06.680 head and it's a house bird um incredibly special place i hope they sell it i hope they get a great

00:05:13.560 price and that whoever is here really enjoys it i think it is it's it's a home with historic

00:05:20.540 significance so i think it's it's really it's important and um it's great to be here i think

00:05:27.520 this will be the last time i'm here so it's it's bittersweet yeah oh all right so marcella any

00:05:34.380 questions for how the book is going along and what's happening when can we pre-order can we

00:05:39.600 pre-order already um you have to ask josh that i don't know exactly when that's happening um but

00:05:45.880 we'll definitely have that up probably i'm guessing by october maybe september um we're

00:05:52.020 working on all the art and even as i'm speaking to you i'm putting away you're doing drawing yeah

00:05:56.800 we've got everything marked out and i'm doing this while we're on the show just because everything's

00:06:01.160 going to take so much time um so we're i'm multitasking which i'm not normally very good

00:06:06.860 but i've managed to figure out how to do it here um so for example i'll save it for the book but

00:06:13.820 right now what we're what i'm giving me to scan in and we've gone over and selected all these

00:06:19.180 things there's an early version of dog births before dilbert existed oh like the first bugs

00:06:27.420 bunny yeah there's an early version um scott used to do christmas presentations for his company and

00:06:34.860 he would draw caricatures and there's an early version of a dog um who helps santa and it's

00:06:43.500 basically dog birth but it's not his name isn't dog birth in this cartoon his name is dildog

00:06:51.820 D-I-L-D-O-G. It's like a kind of early Dilbert. D-I-L-D-O-G.

00:06:59.020 Eric.

00:07:00.020 You can see why you had to rename it.

00:07:02.420 Yeah.

00:07:03.420 Right away.

00:07:04.420 But it was close to the Dilbert part mixed with Dogbert. That's interesting.

00:07:12.420 Yeah. I mean, that one may have been a little bit later by the time, because he had already

00:07:16.660 developed Dilbert by then. I'm seeing Dilbert in the illustrations here, but he did a lot

00:07:21.780 early caricatures of things at work and um yeah it's it's part of what we're gonna see excellent

00:07:29.300 okay and so all right what else what else do we need to know joel i mean i you know i'm afraid

00:07:35.460 to say too much i'm afraid to say too little so i'm just like hello i um i know that you you were

00:07:44.900 thinking of making that you had like tons of pages uh written and you wanted to cut it down

00:07:51.220 yeah i did a lot of cutting on sunday um i cut about 6 000 words from the manuscript

00:07:58.740 right now it's about 120 000 words there's house birds yeah you can see how to see the eyes in the

00:08:03.860 middle you guys so that's um an ode to the dilbert character as scott put there intentionally and that

00:08:12.180 happens to be if memory serves the laundry room and that's also where boo's litter box was yep

00:08:18.580 that was like he could look out he could look out i remember yeah he built um so scott built like a

00:08:26.180 a plank like a plank's going all the way up the walls like this so the cat could go

00:08:31.300 up the wall and look out the windows so that's what's in there you gotta love someone that

00:08:37.460 loves their pets as much as like we obsess over our pets when you meet other people like that

00:08:42.340 you're like yes like just like how you had an ode to your um hamster was it your hamster or guinea

00:08:50.020 pig yeah hamster uh it was my hamster that was an important hamster yeah um that hamster belonged to

00:08:58.340 my kids when we were in our house in pacific palisades and then there was the fire and we

00:09:03.220 evacuated with the hamster and the hamster went everywhere we we were in five or six different

00:09:08.100 homes with that hamster and hamster passed away, um, a few months ago, but it was in a way it was

00:09:16.680 our kids comfort as they, it was the one thing that'd be the same as they moved from house to

00:09:22.420 house after the fire. So it was important. And, um, I so related to Scott because like,

00:09:28.680 as his pets aged, I mean, I remember when Boo got sick and, um, you know, I remember like

00:09:36.020 sending him some things that i used on my cat who was very sick who survived thank god but you know

00:09:42.380 he's like all right you know what do i do with this and he had the feeding tube and boo and then

00:09:47.080 when snickers got old also he's like i'm not going anywhere and i was like dude i so relate i've

00:09:52.600 canceled trips to aruba because i didn't want to leave my pets so i and now i i really can't travel

00:10:00.020 because i have a very old sick kitty as you guys know stella so i think that's something that a lot

00:10:07.640 of us related to is scott we were always asking about his pets and he would do videos of like

00:10:12.760 here's how i wash my dog and you know this would be like in a man cave at night and he'd get

00:10:17.440 snickers into the utility sink and he'd give her a bath and he's like here's how i dry her and then

00:10:22.240 i give her treats and like we were just totally uh glued to it like watching it like we've never

00:10:28.400 seen a dog get a bath before but like watching scott do it for some reason was like oh he loves

00:10:33.540 his dog he loves his cat so cute um i also had a major breakthrough yesterday um this one i don't

00:10:41.960 mind telling you about because it was sort of public um i was posting on x for several weeks

00:10:47.800 that i was looking for a woman named joan mahoney and joan mahoney as some people guess might have

00:10:55.880 known Scott because the clues I was at the clues I had and which I shared publicly was that she

00:11:00.420 had gone to Hartwick College and she lived in San Francisco and Scott actually wrote about her in

00:11:06.760 several books that she was the girlfriend that he went to San Francisco not to be with but I guess

00:11:15.640 she she's the reason he ended up in San Francisco she invited him to come to San Francisco when he

00:11:20.980 moved to California he stayed with his brother Dave in Southern California Dave is still in

00:11:24.920 southern california and then she went up to san francisco i'm sorry scott went to san francisco

00:11:31.120 because the girlfriend was there he never said what her name was and he wrote about her in

00:11:36.780 different ways there's one book where he writes that she was supposed to pick him up at the

00:11:40.280 airport and she decided she didn't want to and anyway they obviously didn't end up together

00:11:46.600 in the long run but i thought this is really someone very important to interview because

00:11:52.940 she knew scott during this incredible transition when he left upstate new york and came to california

00:11:58.680 and started working at crocker bank and started this new life that led him to become what he

00:12:06.200 eventually became and i could not find her i couldn't find her her name is joan mahoney and

00:12:14.540 there was nothing about her anywhere i even went to hurt with college not just to look for her but

00:12:21.880 to look for more information about Scott and to check out the college.

00:12:25.080 And I asked the administration at Hartwick if they had any information about

00:12:29.500 her. And all they could tell me was that she hadn't graduated.

00:12:32.440 So they didn't have any address on file, no way of contacting her.

00:12:37.020 The internet did not yield anything.

00:12:40.300 Try looking up Joan Mahoney in a nation of 350 million people with,

00:12:45.540 you know, a large Irish American population. I mean, you just, you can't,

00:12:50.540 you know, thousands, thousands of Joan Mahoney's in America. And what was incredible was I had a

00:13:00.720 couple of other clues in the form of letters that she sent to Scott that he kept. He kept these

00:13:07.920 letters his entire life. And I had addresses on them. So they helped a little bit, but I looked up

00:13:14.440 any information about her from the addresses, couldn't find anything.

00:13:17.720 finally there was one address that was sent from her parents house one letter from her parents

00:13:23.500 house and so um i looked that up and i discovered her yearbook on ancestry.com i actually got a

00:13:29.880 membership in ancestry.com to find joanie mahoney joan mahoney was also known as joanie mahoney

00:13:35.780 i interviewed some of scott's other uh classmates or or friends from school and they knew who she

00:13:41.040 was but they couldn't they hadn't stayed in touch with her just excuse me one second before i finish

00:13:45.020 the story. Go ahead. Joel is like a dog with a bone. He's determined, which we love.

00:13:53.220 And yeah. And also remember, you know, people get married, then their name's not their name

00:13:57.540 anymore. It's very hard to track down a woman, which is like a thank God. And hard for them to 0.99

00:14:01.960 vote too. Yeah. And to get ID. Terrible, terrible. Yeah. Anyway, so I found her yearbook on

00:14:08.780 ancestry.com or high school yearbook. It might not even, it might not even have been the,

00:14:13.380 the final uh high school yearbook but um anyway it had a picture of her and that's the one

00:14:22.320 photograph i had of her from the hartwick yearbook when she was i guess a freshman or a sophomore

00:14:27.020 and then it also seems to be the same woman who was in a couple of photographs that scott had

00:14:32.920 kept so i thought okay this is probably the same person and the key there was her middle name so i

00:14:37.160 had her middle name now now i could narrow down those thousand joan mahoney's to very few joan

00:14:42.780 and i called people and i called the woman in scranton pennsylvania was not her she had never

00:14:50.360 been to college um i started to wonder if she was alive because there's no there was no

00:14:56.620 information someone told me that they think that you know i should check the obituaries not just

00:15:01.380 the other um records anyway um i called the number all day yesterday that i found uh called a bunch

00:15:12.380 different numbers left some messages got no response and finally i decided to try one more

00:15:15.820 time in the evening and i called this woman up and i said hi i'm writing biography of scott adams

00:15:22.380 i'm a friend of his and i'm just wondering if you might be the joanie mahoney or the joan mahoney

00:15:27.740 that he knew in college and she said yes it was me and we had this conversation everyone

00:15:34.300 here sitting at the table heard me interview her and if you know how hard i've been looking for

00:15:40.540 for Joan Mahoney. I asked so many people. I searched every database I could. I was kicking

00:15:50.020 myself for not asking Scott while he was still alive if he had contact with her. Nobody seemed

00:15:55.700 to know anything about her. She seemed to fly below the radar, the internet radar, just kind 0.90

00:15:59.900 of lived off the grid and below the radar. And eventually I found her. So it was absolutely

00:16:08.660 incredible so i have to rewrite a section of the of the book in which i explained why i hadn't found

00:16:14.260 her now i'm going to talk about finding her and also what she told me so that can't wait

00:16:21.300 and and um someone took a picture of me while i was talking to her for the first time and my

00:16:26.900 mouth was hanging open like i'm actually talking to joanie yeah oh oh yeah we're gonna send it to

00:16:32.500 you so you can see the picture um yeah so you know i'm assuming she knew he had died

00:16:39.540 yes and she told me she had tried to get in touch with him before he died with the email

00:16:43.460 she had she had the wrong email address for him or he bounced or whatever so she was not

00:16:47.460 able to talk to him um but there's there's a really amusing end to the story that i'll save

00:16:54.020 for the book yes yes but let me put it this way he you can tell us now i'll give you a clue scott

00:17:00.820 she told me i didn't know this before she told me that scott had

00:17:04.100 drawn her into a couple of comic strips so may scott's art director was able to pull up the comic

00:17:13.760 strips because she has this incredible database of dilbert strips and um lo and behold there she

00:17:20.400 was but um the exact strips you'll have to read the book to to figure out how how scott characterized

00:17:27.560 joan mahoney but i think he always he always had a deep affection for her and i think

00:17:32.820 i think what was so important about this relationship other than the moment it happened

00:17:36.540 this transitional time was that she she loved scott i mean the the letters she sent him are

00:17:43.640 are really um heartfelt letters and i think i think that because this person loved scott so

00:17:54.200 much it was very important for me to find her so i did incredible i couldn't believe it was i said

00:17:59.540 I said to the team here, I said, this kind of thing happens once every five years to me. Like

00:18:03.800 I'll find something like this. It takes this long and I'll find, I mean, I found my great

00:18:08.340 grandfather's grave in the middle of a field in Lithuania. It's kind of on that level. Like it

00:18:12.300 took that much extra effort to. Well, you have to consider too. So, you know, women get married,

00:18:18.060 their name changes. That is extremely difficult. And then who the heck has a house phone to call?

00:18:23.580 like you couldn't call me on my phone number. That's crazy. All right. So here's Joel

00:18:31.060 interviewing Joni Mahoney. Let me make that bigger for you. He's like, no way, Joni Mahoney.

00:18:42.680 You can see Scott's staircase behind him. So that's the moment of victory. That's the needle

00:18:49.100 in the haystack right there. I love that, Joel. I'm so glad you found her. She is an

00:18:53.300 important part. And by the way, I don't know if you can answer this, but why didn't she pick him

00:18:59.760 up at the airport? She told me she didn't remember that. She didn't say it didn't happen. She just

00:19:06.340 said she had no recollection of that. And then I told her that Scott wrote about it. He wrote about

00:19:12.880 it in, I think it's The Way of the Weasel. It's one of the early humor books. And he writes about

00:19:20.200 how he had to take the bart subway which he had never taken before and he emerged in san francisco

00:19:26.680 surrounded by homeless people nothing much has changed in francisco

00:19:31.800 he emerged surrounded by homeless people and then um you know he wrote about how how

00:19:39.320 irritating that was and then and then joan said to me oh well i can imagine he must have been

00:19:45.000 pretty angry so she didn't she didn't admit that she didn't pick him up but she she kind of said

00:19:50.040 well it might have happened that i didn't pick him up oh my god and he still liked her good for him

00:19:57.600 he's just such a forgiving man we love that well hold off until you see how he drew her in the

00:20:02.960 comic oh okay i love that so joel anything else you want to tell us about because i know you're

00:20:14.360 swamped i don't want to keep you because the book is so important um and i know your time

00:20:19.100 We're literally, we're literally moving things to the same.

00:20:21.380 Yeah.

00:20:21.860 So this one is done.

00:20:23.300 Okay.

00:20:24.260 So we are, there are some early drawings that Scott published in his 20th anniversary edition

00:20:34.560 of Dilbert, which is a really great coffee table book.

00:20:38.280 If you don't have one, you can probably get it still.

00:20:40.800 If not on eBay, then, you know, if not on Amazon, then on eBay.

00:20:44.320 but um he also has so many incredible early drawings so you'll see some early drawings you

00:20:51.480 haven't ever seen before you'll see some photographs you've never seen before um

00:20:56.060 just just incredible stuff i mean um it's it's yeah it's it's really been incredible to

00:21:06.240 and the other thing is you know when someone writes as much about his life as scott did

00:21:11.660 in so many books. I've had this experience in the previous biography I wrote. I wrote about

00:21:17.000 my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law told me a crazy story about how somebody, I'm summarizing and

00:21:22.900 simplifying, but basically about how somebody tried to kill her. And I didn't, I mean, I believed

00:21:29.080 her, but it sounded almost impossible, right? It sounded impossible. How could this possibly

00:21:34.120 have happened? It was maybe embellished a little bit, I thought, you know, and then I went into

00:21:39.900 her letters which she gave me to write her biography and i found a letter from the 1980s

00:21:46.540 right after this incident had happened where she wrote to her parents there was no email obviously

00:21:51.020 in those days you know she wrote a letter and she and her account of what happened was exactly what

00:21:57.180 she had told me 30 years later and so it was like it was a contemporaneous recollection of an event

00:22:03.220 that had happened the day before or whatever so i was just blown away like oh this you know this

00:22:08.440 happened and then i actually asked other people i did a little bit of sleuth detective work or

00:22:13.180 whatever and yes it happened exactly as she told me i've had that experience over and over with

00:22:17.280 scott's um documents you know he he told a story in public and then it's it's confirmed in private

00:22:25.880 for example he told a story in how to fail about how he nearly failed out of hartwick college

00:22:31.040 and that he was drinking too much,

00:22:36.240 he wasn't going to class,

00:22:37.340 and then he got mono and he was bedridden.

00:22:41.000 And I have confirmed that.

00:22:43.360 Not only the mono part,

00:22:45.260 because Scott's roommate told me that,

00:22:46.780 yeah, he got mono from one of the many girls

00:22:48.840 he was hanging around with.

00:22:51.560 But the other thing that I found

00:22:55.720 was his report cards.

00:22:57.700 And sure enough,

00:22:58.720 there are a couple of semesters that are really bad.

00:23:00.480 Like they did. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Um, it'll be really funny for you to find out which classes

00:23:06.760 he wasn't doing well in. Um, I won't spoil that surprise, but that was also one of those things

00:23:12.240 that like, you'll have to read the book to find that out. It's also very funny.

00:23:15.260 Oh, we're all reading this book. Believe me, we can't wait. We cannot wait.

00:23:20.420 But the stories he tells in public or that he told in public, um, they're all,

00:23:25.000 they all hold up with the documents. I mean, there's no, there's no story that doesn't hold

00:23:29.080 so i love that yeah he was very open with us but i think i think the other surprising thing that i

00:23:36.760 learned about scott from being at his memorial is that he really did maintain a lot of privacy

00:23:44.220 for as much as he told us and i was like really happy about that that he had a whole other private

00:23:51.380 life and we didn't have to know every single thing about it and then when we learned what

00:23:57.380 we learned about it, I was just, you know, even more blown away, not shocked, but just more blown

00:24:02.140 away at who this man was. And, um, he's, he's just the best. He's, you'll just love him more

00:24:08.760 and more and more the more you learn about him. That's my opinion. Um, we, you know, I, this,

00:24:17.520 this book isn't a tell all. I mean, this is not like a deep dive into Scott's private life. Um,

00:24:22.020 But it does tell part of the story of how he became who he became.

00:24:27.620 And that does, I think, require some inclusion of some things people didn't know about or he maybe didn't talk about much before.

00:24:39.000 You know, it's sometimes I would ask Scott about some details of past relationships and things like that.

00:24:47.120 And it wasn't that he didn't want to talk about them.

00:24:49.640 And it's just that they weren't important enough to him in the present moment.

00:24:54.340 He was focused on who he was with at the moment.

00:24:57.020 So, you know, it was a challenge in that sense.

00:25:01.380 So, you know, as a writer, you have to be very careful with that.

00:25:05.520 But I think what people will enjoy is learning about how passionate he was about life and how that passion was reciprocated in the people who loved him.

00:25:16.680 And I think that's an important part of the story.

00:25:19.140 I agree.

00:25:19.640 All right. So Joel, should we let you go get to work?

00:25:23.420 Yeah, I think so. I think so.

00:25:26.820 I think so. Yeah. No, I know you're busy and time is ticking. And we all love when you can come on.

00:25:33.100 We appreciate you coming on, especially with being so busy right now. And, you know, it's our final look over here at Scott's Kitchen, which we, you know, have seen a million times.

00:25:44.080 remember Scott used to do his cooking shows and he would, you know, pick a recipe and start

00:25:48.880 cooking. It was amazing. He was just a crack up all the time. Um, so thank you so much for

00:25:55.300 joining us this morning. And I know we'll see you again real soon. And, um, everybody's looking

00:26:01.500 forward to the book. So Joel carry on, carry on Joel, do the important work. We'll be here talking

00:26:09.340 about fetch fauci and iran god help us but anyway all right joel bye everybody bye may see you guys

00:26:45.620 They are working really hard.

00:26:47.040 Joel never stops.

00:26:48.200 And that man, that man, you know what?

00:26:50.700 He's like the male version of Harmeet Dylan.

00:26:53.520 He's just getting it all done all the time, right? 0.92

00:26:57.020 She's like doing it all.

00:26:59.000 So, all right, you guys.

00:27:00.160 So Owen will be back tomorrow.

00:27:01.800 He might even be lurking a little bit now when he can in between torture sessions.

00:27:06.520 I mean, in between meetings.

00:27:09.160 But let's carry on because there is some news today.

00:27:12.280 So first, I just want to say Todd Blanche, he is now the official U.S. Attorney General.

00:27:19.380 He was sworn in yesterday.

00:27:21.300 So congratulations to him. 0.99

00:27:23.500 Like, let's hope he kicks some ass and gets things moving. 0.98

00:27:28.280 And the other thing I wanted to mention, which is going to go into a few clips I had pulled. 0.99

00:27:34.620 So, oh my lordy.

00:27:36.460 So the Massachusetts governor, she is a real gem, Maura Healey. 1.00

00:27:42.080 There she was at her desk signing into law with a bunch of liberal white women surrounding her in their floral dresses and smiles. 1.00

00:27:53.080 A law that allows abortion up to birth. 0.98

00:27:58.280 So am I getting this wrong, Marcella?

00:28:01.240 Is this really?

00:28:02.060 And there they are like, oh, very good.

00:28:04.800 Very good.

00:28:05.700 So is that real?

00:28:09.300 It's unbelievable.

00:28:11.080 But it's real.

00:28:12.460 Yeah, it's real.

00:28:14.520 Like you don't, it's not like there's a reason for it.

00:28:17.580 It'll be legal.

00:28:18.960 You know, people will sue for this and things like that.

00:28:23.480 Hopefully there's a stay by some judge there.

00:28:26.140 but you know the fact that they that they're cheering this on and they're all smiles like

00:28:33.220 seriously it's just very sad very sad it is very sad especially I mean how many people do we know

00:28:41.160 that are trying to have babies that are trying to adopt that are you know like I again women's

00:28:48.880 rights I don't know you know what oh what you know what gets me really angry you guys is that 0.83

00:28:54.440 they're the same ones that tell us when COVID happened, you have to stay six feet away. You

00:29:01.060 have to get the vaccine. But then when someone's pregnant, you can't tell them what to do, 1.00

00:29:08.120 except you have to tell them to take these vaccines, which we're going to go into. But 0.84

00:29:12.800 that's like, it doesn't make any sense. Yeah. My body, my choice. And then they're like,

00:29:19.080 take the vaccine. You're killing people. And you're like, whoa, wait, like I'm not actually

00:29:23.820 killing someone, abortion people, but I can decide. So simple as good said, now there are 1.00

00:29:30.580 10 states that allow abortion until birth, Alaska, Colorado, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, 0.65

00:29:35.700 Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington, DC. And reading that list

00:29:40.720 makes me sick. Like that, like, you know, what are we doing people? Um, so there's that. And,

00:29:47.860 you know, Scott always said like, leave it up to women. Well, Marcella and I are women 0.99

00:29:52.700 and you know it it repulses me on a level i can't even explain to you that why are why are you

00:30:00.140 getting like if you're getting an abortion like i'm not saying i don't have an opinion about i i

00:30:04.120 have personal opinions about it doesn't matter but what are we doing up until birth like what

00:30:09.980 the hell are we doing people um so that happened uh that was the good news all right so then we

00:30:16.780 move on i mean speaking speaking of abortion um now let me just delete this so i don't i mean 0.52

00:30:24.220 believe them when they tell you who they are right yeah leave them when they say they want to destroy

00:30:31.420 white people believe them when they say they want to kill babies i mean and they want to take the 0.89

00:30:38.540 means of production all sorts of things it's like we're stunned because it's like how how evil can 0.99

00:30:45.100 I know. And like, we're stunned that they even say it out loud. And now they're like smiling

00:30:50.640 and cheering it on. It's like, oh my Lordy. So this is kind of juicy. And I think a lot of us

00:30:58.360 probably on this Scott Adams school already knew about this. I know I did. So Fauci, we have his

00:31:06.920 government phone and they're talking about the text messages they're finding on here. And let's

00:31:12.720 just take a listen to this because i personally know people this affected i don't think the people

00:31:18.020 that it affected believe that this is why it happened but i'm pretty freaking positive let's

00:31:24.340 listen breaking right now republican senators ron johnson and rand paul releasing the first

00:31:31.200 batch of text messages from dr anthony fauci's government iphone in one exchange from january

00:31:37.940 of 2021, Fauci, then CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and then Surgeon General Vivek Murthy

00:31:44.140 discussed COVID vaccination and pregnant women. Fauci flags a potential concern after the second

00:31:50.380 dose, writing that many people experienced, quote, significant cytokine storm and fever,

00:31:56.620 and that this, quote, theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the first

00:32:01.940 trimester. Walensky responds, quote, definitely a good point, especially after dose two.

00:32:07.940 A cytokine storm is essentially when the body releases too many inflammatory signals that could cause high fever, inflammation, and in extreme cases, life-threatening illness.

00:32:19.020 So this has just come into light now, Sandra, that Fauci had these concerns.

00:32:23.620 And I remember when I got the boosters, I developed pericarditis, then that went away.

00:32:28.160 Then when I had the second booster, it came roaring back again.

00:32:31.120 So, you know, the body reacts differently to these things depending on who you are.

00:32:35.360 oh god that makes me so infuriated um so i i remember one experience i was excited about i

00:32:43.660 was leasing a car at the time and the vaccine was was out under trump and the woman in the

00:32:50.520 lease office she was young she was probably like 30 and i don't know the pandemic came up and she

00:32:57.440 said how she's not getting vaccinated and neither are like the person who is my sales woman who was

00:33:03.700 young and these other people. And they're like, no, they're, you know, we're all really afraid

00:33:07.400 that we'll get affected if we try to get pregnant. Like they were all like going to start having 1.00

00:33:11.960 babies. And they just said like, instinctively, they were like, no, like, you know, we don't know

00:33:15.900 what it is. We're not going to do it. And I'm like, oh my God, thank God. But I do know quite

00:33:21.100 a few people who miscarried more than someone, some more than once, and then maybe had their

00:33:27.860 baby that now has an issue with, you know, autism or things like that. I don't know if that's

00:33:34.000 related technically, but these were, you know, fully boosted people. So it makes me so enraged,

00:33:42.100 Marcella, that this was the conversation they were having. And you can still get a booster

00:33:47.060 today for COVID right now. Imagine how evil you have to be. Yeah, but, you know, we all have

00:33:54.480 choices so allow the choice for people to make that if they want to get this or they don't want

00:34:00.860 to get it but it seems to me um that during covid these pregnant women did not have a choice you

00:34:09.080 know um i believe mace who is on um x told a story about his wife uh being pregnant and his friend

00:34:18.760 being pregnant as well, a friend of his wife or his friend, I think, and his wife had to like

00:34:25.260 stop working because she did not want to get the vaccine. His, his wife was a nurse at a hospital.

00:34:31.840 So she was, she was forced either to get a vaccine or to leave her job. And that's just

00:34:40.820 unacceptable, especially if she's young and she's not going to, you know, she's wearing all the

00:34:46.840 outfit everything else but he tells a story that's very sad and we don't know if it had to do with

00:34:53.960 the with the shot i you know needs to be researched uh further um but the question needs to be out

00:35:01.480 there um and the other friend lost their baby because she you know the other the odd thing is

00:35:10.440 that she got a shot and right not like his wife you know and every time this friend sees um their

00:35:18.120 child she cries or remembers the baby that she lost the little girl that's really sad but um

00:35:26.520 one thing that people mention on here is cernovich mike cernovich made a post well he made several

00:35:34.360 post yesterday obviously but one of them said now we know why dr fauci death took the for the fifth

00:35:42.860 amendment state law manslaughter charges are possible given his directly stated knowledge

00:35:48.120 of risk to unborn babies murder um that is possible yeah well that's what i'm that's why

00:35:56.160 i'm saying like it's you know they knew this like they were he was already talking about it with

00:36:01.920 Walensky. And it's like, okay, so you knew this. You didn't come out and say, wait, stop, stop,

00:36:08.140 stop. We have new evidence. Like, okay, remember you guys changing your mind or changing your

00:36:13.120 opinion about something when the facts change is a superpower, one which Fauci does not have.

00:36:17.800 So he had new information about miscarriage and all these other things. And he just kept going.

00:36:25.160 And so did Rochelle Walensky. And so did every other person in Burks. They all, they all had

00:36:31.880 this information. And was it their ego? Was it money? What was it? Because they did not stop

00:36:37.500 the public or say, wait, just stop everybody. And, you know, worse comes to worse, just suggest

00:36:42.000 that those people stay home so they don't get exposed, which is what you were making people

00:36:46.000 do anyway. And I have a friend who was a, like a breast cancer survivor. Like it was like a

00:36:53.640 miracle. And then she changed her career and actually got a job working at one of the Sloan

00:36:58.820 Ketterings. And they wanted her to take the vaccine. And she's like, I'm not taking the

00:37:04.220 vaccine. Sometimes you just have this instinct, this innate feeling of like, no, I don't think

00:37:11.180 I can take that. They pushed and pushed and pushed. She had until like, I'm making this up the 15th

00:37:17.500 of the month to take it. And if you didn't take it by the 15th, you were going to get fired the

00:37:21.300 next day. She took it on the 15th and on the 16th, they released the mandate. And had she waited one

00:37:28.720 more day, she wouldn't have had to have the vaccine. And I was just like, this is just so

00:37:33.300 unfair. You guys, um, somebody wants me to go over a manslaughter elements and I'm going to go over

00:37:39.660 the manslaughter elements real quick. And that's in Florida. Um, because I think Florida is one

00:37:45.280 of the States is trying to look into Fauci and remember it's beyond a reasonable doubt. So there

00:37:50.740 has to be sufficient evidence for a jury to figure that out. The victim, the first factor is

00:37:59.400 obviously the victim has to be dead. The number two, one or more of the following, depending on

00:38:05.540 the allegations and evidence, you have to have one of the following, at least one. A defendant

00:38:12.320 intentionally committed an act or acts that caused the death of the victim. B, the defendant

00:38:18.100 intentionally procured an act that caused the death of the victim procure it means to persuade

00:38:24.420 induce prevail upon or cause a person to do something and see the death of the victim was

00:38:29.920 caused by culpable negligence of the defendant so that culpable negligence is where i can see

00:38:37.440 a finding if there is you know if they can get enough cases in regards to um something like

00:38:47.840 this you know but it takes it's gonna take a lot it's gonna take a lot of evidence it's gonna you

00:38:54.240 know but you know what marcella i wonder if the businesses that were forcing and trying to to

00:39:01.680 coerce their employees to take this shot can be in trouble too because it was like threatening their

00:39:07.840 job like to my friend if you don't do this you're getting fired on the 16th the the only thing with

00:39:15.120 that is civilly, they might be liable, but they had no knowledge that the Fauci texts have. So

00:39:24.540 Fauci here, the texts that are become more prevalent, because he has like 34,000 texts or

00:39:32.460 something, or even more. I was like, how much does he text? Anyways, so I digress. But the issue is

00:39:40.680 knowing that this would have led to miscarriage and not saying that to the public not informing

00:39:47.960 the public of this because if he would have informed the public of this different um not just

00:39:54.040 him whoever is he's talking to um this is this is insane how would you not say anything go after

00:40:02.920 walensky then and whoever else he told right it's like oh so you had this knowledge and you didn't

00:40:07.800 say anything about it and yeah okay so interesting let's keep our eye on that um but one other thing

00:40:14.840 about that is let me just see which one this is um okay let's take a listen here to president

00:40:23.080 trump he was busy yesterday in the oval but let's take a listen senators ram paul and ron johnson

00:40:28.760 released some text messages from anthony fauci and it appears that as early as january 2021

00:40:34.680 they knew that there could possibly be complications with pregnant women and

00:40:38.120 miscarriages tied to the covid vaccine yet the biden administration helped officials

00:40:42.040 they didn't change their rhetoric your reaction well the biden administration was a disaster in

00:40:47.080 every way that would be just one way but they have been a disaster in every single way it's

00:40:53.240 unimaginable what they did in that forget about weaponization forget even about you know as

00:40:58.440 important as what you're saying so many of the open borders the men and women sports they've

00:41:04.360 It's just been a horrendous disaster, the highest inflation in history.

00:41:10.260 And we're doing a great job.

00:41:13.280 Want to see your rewards go further?

00:41:15.640 Now at Shell, Scene Plus members can fill up on points at the pump, on snacks, car wash, and more.

00:41:22.180 Plus, Scotiabank and Tangerine cardholders can get up to 10 cents per liter in value with a linked card.

00:41:28.800 New rewards partners, new ways to save and earn at Shell.

00:41:32.380 Get more, go further.

00:41:33.660 All right. So a little bit of a dodge, but the questions put out there. So,

00:41:50.080 you know, stay tuned. He's aware. But the other huge news coming out of the Oval yesterday,

00:41:56.340 which, oh my God, I mean, thank God for this. Let's take a listen. This is definitely a victory.

00:42:02.740 So, at year one, you should have five separate visits for vaccines, rather than giving them

00:42:07.560 all in the same day.

00:42:10.120 Very importantly, vaccinations for hepatitis B, COVID-19, and influenza, among others,

00:42:15.560 are no longer recommended for all children.

00:42:19.160 In addition, this executive order directs the attorney general to advance legal challenges

00:42:23.480 against states that violate children's rights to religious or medical vaccination exemptions

00:42:30.420 for the exemptions.

00:42:32.740 Okay. So what he's talking about there is they have changed the vaccine schedule for

00:42:38.420 children from 72 vaccines, which is just disgusting to 11 vaccines. So we're going

00:42:48.060 from 72 to 11, not to be given all at once, like to be spread out. And that is just a huge victory.

00:42:56.580 I think when I was a kid, it was like eight, five vaccines maybe. And how the hell did we get to

00:43:03.360 72 vaccines? And I mean, giving a brand new baby at birth a hepatitis vaccine, like, unless the mom 0.90

00:43:15.240 has hepatitis, like, what are we doing? And did you know that right when you give birth to your

00:43:20.620 baby immediately, you know how they put that, like, it looks like Vaseline on their eyes,

00:43:25.440 like a boxer in a fight, it's erythromycin. They immediately swipe erythromycin, which is an

00:43:32.040 antibiotic over your baby's eyelids. Like they just literally come out and they're like, boop,

00:43:36.420 boop, what are we doing? So that's a huge step forward. And, um, I'm really happy about that.

00:43:43.120 So Marcella, did you see any more on this? Um, I don't know if you want the bad news,

00:43:49.560 But as always, there will be there's already litigation regarding this since before the executive order in March 2026, a federal district court in Massachusetts issued a preliminary injunction regarding changing this January 2026 schedule.

00:44:08.940 So the things that you hear Trump saying in that clip, it's not going to go onto the schedule yet.

00:44:19.400 Also, from my research, it indicates as executive, he's able to tell the executive branch which part of that is the CDC, what to study, what to do.

00:44:32.760 But in regards to the federal childhood immunization recommendations, say that fast, it is an advisory committee on immunization practices called ACIP, short for ACIP, process, which is adopted by the CDC director.

00:44:51.960 And that is the advisory board is, you know, obviously medical doctors and different people that know about all this.

00:45:00.420 So that in itself is a process that the EO can take advice from the president, but it would have to, I don't know if RFK Jr. has spoken about it or if the CDC director has spoken about it.

00:45:20.660 But, you know, we'll see what what the ACIP says and whether they are going to look into it.

00:45:31.060 But there's a definite need to research this because it does affect children.

00:45:38.340 You know, it affects, you know, if there's even, is there's even 1% chance that you're going to kill a child versus receive a disease that is no longer, you know, how many children get hepatitis in America, you know?

00:45:57.000 So that kind of thing is like the risk factors need to be looked at as well.

00:46:04.980 so yeah there has to be further research and the research has to be done as we know

00:46:10.020 um is who is funding the research as well so it has to be independent research without

00:46:17.460 the farm big pharma you know basically paying for the research yeah well you know it's really sad to

00:46:24.660 me when i think about what's going on in this country like we as a i mean i'm not saying we

00:46:29.860 me and you or the people watching this but we as a country really looks like we don't value

00:46:35.140 children and uh and life and you know like you have the you know all those states just listed

00:46:41.300 that are like yeah go ahead abort your baby up till birth not a problem and then it's like and

00:46:46.180 then when they come out we're going to give them 72 vaccines and inoculations and this and that and

00:46:51.460 you know it's like where where's the value on life on parents on family um you know i like

00:46:59.540 Like, again, I don't have kids and it sounds weird coming from me, but I think it's really sad

00:47:04.460 that I just observe, you know, this just like assault on children and family. And it's really

00:47:13.560 freaky that the bulk of it comes from women. And so I'm a little bit confused about what we're doing 1.00

00:47:20.900 and how do we change this? I've never agreed with the feminist movement. I am anti-feminism. 0.92

00:47:29.060 Um, I just think it got way out of hand and now the values that mothers or like the instincts

00:47:37.520 that mothers just have innately because they're women, it's like they're, they're forcing

00:47:43.140 it down and putting it aside to say that they're a feminist or to be like their friends 0.99

00:47:48.920 or to prove some agenda or political point.

00:47:51.360 And it's like, you know, we're really losing our way of, of what's important in our lives.

00:47:56.180 this is my opinion and how I feel, but I hope we have a course correction. I feel like we'll get

00:48:04.100 there. I feel like it's starting to turn and people are definitely sickened by it. And I think

00:48:09.740 that maybe we have some more honey badgers now speaking up about all things that just don't

00:48:15.080 align with morals and values and decency and America. And being mothers, I mean, look at like 0.88

00:48:23.940 the mothers in other countries where they rip away your, your young daughter to go marry like 0.83

00:48:28.900 a 60 year old man. And like the mothers and the fathers at that point are weeping and sobbing and

00:48:34.780 crying. And it's like, yeah, because your instinct is to protect your child, even though your culture

00:48:39.480 doesn't, but you know, it's, it's a fight worth having. So I just, I hate to see a slip further

00:48:44.420 away. That's, that's just my, um, my opinion on that, but I'm going to pivot Marcella if that's

00:48:50.040 OK, I just want to do so.

00:48:53.260 I promised bookish the other day for a clip of Charlie.

00:48:57.420 And so we're going to do an Iran update.

00:49:00.900 But I wanted to show you bookish what Charlie's opinion on having a war with Iran was since I promised you a clip.

00:49:09.700 So let's listen to Charlie first and then we'll get an update and then we'll get an update from Trey Yangst after.

00:49:16.740 Here we go.

00:49:17.980 Let's be very honest with you.

00:49:18.920 something that i'm against i don't think we should bomb iranian nuclear facilities i just don't i 0.92

00:49:23.820 think it'd be a huge mistake it's an act of war against a major country you go to war with persia

00:49:28.360 it will bring your country down the american people did not rise up in major numbers because

00:49:32.360 we want war with iran that was never part of the deal okay it was never like hey america first

00:49:37.320 comma we're going to go do a bunch of you know targeted strikes on the main the inland of iran

00:49:42.340 so that's just where i i would say that that would be a catastrophic mistake why we believe this we

00:49:47.680 have so many pressing problems at home and our leaders are internationally obsessed and they

00:49:53.180 are domestically ignorant i like that internationally obsessed and domestically 0.95

00:49:59.600 ignorant that's what it feels like to me um so anything on the charlie clip marcella 0.96

00:50:04.880 i mean that might have been i know i know a lot of you believe differently but that might have

00:50:12.220 been the reason why he's not here with us anymore but yeah oh i could play 10 more clips of why he

00:50:19.300 might not be also but you know what it is about him is he was able to be an honest voice like you

00:50:28.340 could he had integrity he he said what was best for america regardless of you know this is going

00:50:36.920 cost me a friendship with president trump or with whoever he was just a great man so oh yeah i mean

00:50:47.080 he that you know what an example of somebody who sticks to their moral compass their values what

00:50:53.800 they believe or he's just like listen i mean he was he was very close to president trump

00:50:59.160 he could easily be persuaded to just go along with he's the president of the united states and

00:51:04.440 And I think someone that he looked up to as like, sort of like not a father figure, more like how we'd say like an internet dad.

00:51:10.520 So he had this other male figure in his life that he worked so hard to get President Trump in office and J.D. Vance is the vice president.

00:51:18.200 And he fought hard, hard.

00:51:21.240 Like he would show up at the Oval Office and spend hours trying to convince President Trump, please don't go into Iran.

00:51:28.760 This is a mistake.

00:51:29.620 It's a mistake.

00:51:30.220 It's a mistake.

00:51:30.820 It's a mistake.

00:51:32.420 And he couldn't convince him.

00:51:33.840 And I guess somebody else is more persuasive. So, yeah, it's pretty scary. But let's give you

00:51:41.640 the update from Trey Yanks on what the latest is over there. With diplomatic efforts ongoing to

00:51:48.700 reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian officials are now making new demands. Iran's Supreme National

00:51:54.740 Security Council issued a fresh statement this weekend calling on the United States to permanently

00:52:00.340 END THE WAR IN THE REGION, NOT JUST WITH IRAN, BUT ALSO WITH ITS PROXIES AND TO COMPENSATE

00:52:05.660 IRAN FOR DAMAGES BEFORE THE STRAIGHT WOULD REOPEN. IRAN'S FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS EVEN IF A DEAL

00:52:10.500 IS REACHED, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THE STRAIGHT WILL STAY OPEN.

00:52:15.060 THE TALKS WITH OMAN ARE ABOUT THE TEMPORARY ROUTE. WE ARE ALMOST VERY CLOSE TO THE RESULT. 0.54

00:52:21.220 DETERMINING THE ROUTE BY IRAN AND OMAN DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THE REOPENING OF THE STRAIGHT

00:52:26.380 THAT IS DEPENDENT ON OTHER FACTORS.

00:52:29.380 THE VIOLATIONS OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BY AMERICA SHOULD BE COMPENSATED.

00:52:35.380 WITH DETAILS STILL BEING WORKED OUT, THE U.S. NAVAL BLOCKADE REMAINS IN EFFECT.

00:52:40.380 U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND SAYS AS OF AUGUST 9, CENTCOM HAS REDIRECTED 55 COMMERCIAL VESSELS,

00:52:45.380 DISABLED TWO AND BOARDED TWO TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE.

00:52:48.380 AND PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD AXIOS ON SUNDAY WE ARE LOW KEYING IT.

00:52:52.380 WE ARE ONLY SEMI-NEGOTIATING WITH THEM.

00:52:54.380 THE PRESIDENT WENT ON TO SAY

00:52:55.680 WE ARE JUST WATCHING IRAN WITH

00:52:57.100 ITS HUGE INFLATION AND THE FACT

00:52:58.740 THEY HAVE NO MONEY.

00:52:59.820 AND THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

00:53:00.740 REPORTS FOR WEEKS PRESIDENT

00:53:02.000 TRUMP HAS BEEN LAYING THE

00:53:03.200 GROUNDWORK TO DECLARE VICTORY IN

00:53:04.520 THE IRAN WAR SHOULD TECHRAN 1.00

00:53:06.280 FULLY REOPEN THE STRAIGHT OF 1.00

00:53:07.440 HORMOOZ EVEN FLOATING THE IDEA 0.92

00:53:09.140 PRIVATELY TO SENIOR AIDES THAT 1.00

00:53:10.520 HE'S WILLING TO WALK AWAY WITHOUT

00:53:12.100 A NUCLEAR DEAL, U.S. OFFICIALS

00:53:13.700 SAID AGAIN TO THE WALL STREET

00:53:15.000 JOURNAL.

00:53:15.520 NOW VICE PRESIDENT J.D.

00:53:16.620 WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

00:53:18.120 GAME HERE.

00:53:19.020 WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

00:53:20.320 GAME HERE.

00:53:21.120 I TRY TO REMIND PEOPLE THAT WE

00:53:23.620 ARE REALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

00:53:25.120 GAME HERE.

00:53:25.620 THIS THING IS NOT OVER.

00:53:27.120 IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AT THE

00:53:28.620 BEGINNING.

00:53:29.620 WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME

00:53:31.620 AND WE ARE APPLYING A WHOLE HOST

00:53:34.620 OF TOOLS, DIPLOMATIC, ECONOMIC,

00:53:36.620 MILITARY TOOLS TO ENSURE THAT WE

00:53:38.620 GET THE BEST OUTCOME FOR THE

00:53:40.620 AMERICAN PEOPLE.

00:53:41.620 I FEEL QUITE CONFIDENT WE WILL 0.99

00:53:43.620 GET THERE BUT WE ARE STILL A BIT

00:53:45.620 today a senior israeli official told fox news there is new evidence credible evidence inside

00:53:52.460 of iran showing this mounting economic pressure and regime officials in tehran

00:53:57.020 having to choose where their money is distributed

00:53:59.380 so there is economic pressure so the uh the military in iran's not being paid um but what

00:54:09.520 does jd mean by like what's best for the american people like what what is best for the american

00:54:14.840 people with this conflict? I'm not even saying, Marcella, give me an answer because I don't know

00:54:20.320 what the answer would be. How does this affect me? I'm not sure. I don't know where we're at.

00:54:26.880 I already thought we degraded their nuke ambitions the first time. So I'm a little confused. I feel

00:54:33.860 like President Trump's looking for a way to get out of this without egg on his face. And Iran's 0.70

00:54:39.680 just like, yeah, we don't really care what you're saying or doing. And now we want you to pay for 1.00

00:54:43.780 the damage you caused us and then yesterday president trump and the oval office responded

00:54:48.660 to that like well i want you to repay us for all the damage for the last 50 years i'm like oh my

00:54:54.340 god like can we end this marcella what do you think um i mean i don't think the that it's going

00:55:01.460 to be easy to end this uh because now we have the strait of hormuz being held hostage i know

00:55:08.260 president trump yesterday said that that america's in control of it i love his positive thinking

00:55:16.100 maybe he's trying to author his own you know author of the simulation which is great you know

00:55:23.540 but there is definite issues of the strait of hormuz and that is viable like we use it i mean

00:55:30.580 many countries use that and now Iran has kind of, you know, made it a, has seen it as a weakness of

00:55:41.140 the United States and a weakness of the other countries and the Gulf. So they are clinging

00:55:47.540 onto it, like taking a hostage. That's been, so it is a bigger issue. I don't think we can just

00:55:53.780 pull out and leave because it leaves this huge issue for the rest of this area not just um not

00:56:02.260 just for us but um in in reality waiting for iran to um basically collapse under economic pressures

00:56:14.900 look at cuba have they even collapsed yet even after fidel died his brother took over and i was

00:56:22.420 like oh my god so i i don't i mean it's gonna get to a very um like you know they can live

00:56:33.060 through all of this because why they don't care about their own country they don't care about

00:56:37.220 their own people so which is you look at cuba it's still under raul castro like it's still

00:56:44.340 you know and we've done every economic thing they drive like really i i was reading yesterday that

00:56:52.620 they're actually coming up with new uh fuel like using solar to uh power their cars like they're

00:57:00.960 figuring something out so i don't really think that the economic pressure will be sufficient on 0.57

00:57:07.020 Iran because they have the people to sacrifice there. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting. And so 0.93

00:57:14.180 what we, you know, what, what's best for the American people, I'm not sure, but I know that 0.57

00:57:19.060 what's not best for us is losing the midterm elections and just ushering in communism and,

00:57:26.200 uh, Marxism into our country, which, you know, seems like the alternative, but I do want to play,

00:57:32.140 I know we're almost out of time. One quick clip I was going to play yesterday. 0.57

00:57:36.900 A lot more Democrats, like not even classic Democrats. I mean, like even like Clinton

00:57:43.080 Democrats, you know, whatever. They're like, no, no, no, I'm not doing this. I can't stay

00:57:48.720 a Democrat anymore. And here's one other. Take a listen. I have been criticizing the Democratic

00:57:54.480 Party for a long time as being far to the left of the median voter. So just as a matter of

00:57:59.740 practical politics and pragmatism, I think the party has gone way too far left. But I think the

00:58:04.940 party has also lost its moral center. I'm Julian Epstein. I'm a longtime Democrat. I was formerly

00:58:11.200 the chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee and the staff director of the House Oversight

00:58:15.680 Committee for the Democrats. I'm the former CEO of the consulting firm LMG, which represented,

00:58:24.080 amongst other people, Hillary Clinton for president. If this is where the party is going,

00:58:27.560 this is not a party I want to have anything to do with. My piece in the New York Post today

00:58:32.260 basically says that I'm jumping ship, that I am going over to the Republican side in the Michigan

00:58:38.180 Senate race, and I'm supporting Mike Rogers. And this is because I think the Democrats have

00:58:45.420 gone off the deep end. I think the lunatics are in charge of the asylum. I think that 1.00

00:58:50.460 that um uh there is no room in the tent for people that want to destroy our constitution 0.98

00:58:58.320 there's no room in the tent for people that want to align themselves with radical islam

00:59:03.560 there's no room in the tent for people that want to align themselves with anti-semitism

00:59:07.760 and there's no room in the tent i think in my view for people that don't have any interest

00:59:13.420 in building for the next generation but only want to redistribute what others have created

00:59:19.000 and want to basically tear down the free market that has been the most effective anti-poverty

00:59:26.920 liberation machine that human beings have ever invented.

00:59:29.760 If you want to start taking these lunatic positions, then I'm just not going to be part

00:59:34.000 of it.

00:59:34.240 And I suspect more, this isn't about me, I suspect you're going to see a large group

00:59:39.360 of Democrats starting to defect.

00:59:41.740 and I think this is what you're watching in real time here is a party that is jumping off a cliff

00:59:50.200 and I just don't intend to jump off a cliff with him.

00:59:53.940 If you listen to Mike Rogers, he's sort of a very practical, middle-of-the-road normie guy

01:00:00.820 who would have been very consistent with where the Democrats were, say, during the Clinton administration.

01:00:10.460 All right.

01:00:11.740 So I, I am seeing a lot of videos like this and, you know, whether you like him or not,

01:00:19.360 I know we're at time, but, um, I just want to see more of this. I think that the left is just so,

01:00:25.100 so out of touch. Um, they're loud, they're squeaky. They could win, um, because there's

01:00:33.240 a lot of uninformed voters out there, but hopefully, hopefully people like this Epstein

01:00:38.040 will get out there and and inform the people in uh michigan so marcella have you been seeing clips

01:00:44.520 like this yeah but i i question um i question the democrats saying that oh this is not our party no

01:00:52.520 this was always your party you just never said it you it's the unsaid things they never made

01:00:59.400 if you look at um the the their support of justices and judges that want to change the

01:01:09.240 constitution they always looked at it as a living document um which even in law school we studied

01:01:16.360 how they don't they don't call it getting rid of the constitution they called it rewriting it for

01:01:22.520 the present time. So maybe the rhetoric of the DSA is radical in the fact that they're honest

01:01:33.560 with their motives, but the motives have always been the same. The motives have always been control

01:01:39.720 the means of production, tell everybody as a nanny state what to do with your children,

01:01:45.640 what to do with your country what we you don't know better you're just you know the unwashed the 0.74

01:01:52.600 deplorables so i think uh i in a way uh el sayed and other dsa members they're more honest than

01:02:02.680 these politicians that are part of the democratic party you know because at least they say who they

01:02:07.800 are you know they are definitely honest and you know watching people like i said before chuck

01:02:13.640 schumer twist himself into a pretzel to be like yeah i agree it's like dude you are such a mess

01:02:20.280 they are a mess so the democrats have thankfully fully exposed themselves to the rest of the world

01:02:27.160 so uh let's just hope that uh good outweighs evil and i feel like it does but i feel like it's going

01:02:34.120 to be tough it's going to be tough because they have a lot of money and momentum and energy and

01:02:39.640 youth and youth behind them so we have to be careful but i wanted to end as like a semi-positive

01:02:45.560 note with him just showing that democrats are jumping ship they say they they just can't take

01:02:52.040 it anymore it's too much to sign off on stella is freaking out so um you guys listen thank you

01:02:58.040 please give us a like please give us a like a thumbs up a heart share us with your friends

01:06:48.760 what should I do? Clean out the junk drawer. I almost said the drunk drawer, which you should

01:06:53.780 clean out your liquor cabinet in that case. But anyway. All right, guys. Love you so much. I'll

01:06:57.980 see you tomorrow morning and have a great, great, great, great, great day. Okay. Say bye. I don't
