00:00:43.000The reason that these cell phone companies charge you up the wazoo is they assume you're going to use extraordinary levels of data you never use.
00:00:49.000You're basically buying out an entire airplane when you're using a couple of seats.
00:00:52.000Well, instead of doing that, why don't you just get the same exact coverage as you would get with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, but instead of paying a fortune, instead pay a lot less.
00:01:40.000Late last night, news broke via the New York Post that Hunter Biden's business partner, his old business partner, has confirmed that the email exchanges that we have seen via the New York Post are not only real, but that Joe Biden was in on Hunter Biden's business activities.
00:01:54.000Now remember, The original story here is that Hunter Biden, we knew this.
00:02:00.000Hunter Biden was jet-setting around the world picking up bags of cash, and he admitted openly on national television just last year that if his last name were not Biden, he would not have been able to do that.
00:02:08.000Joe claimed that he was ignorant of all of these sorts of activities.
00:02:10.000Sure, Hunter was grabbing a ride with him on Air Force Two over to China while he was vice president of the United States, but you know, that was just all in good fun.
00:02:17.000The fact is that he was completely separated off from what Hunter was doing, and there was no indication that Hunter was corrupt anyway.
00:02:25.000Well, then the New York Post broke email suggesting that a meeting had actually been brokered between a Ukrainian oligarch working for Burisma and Joe Biden by Hunter Biden.
00:02:33.000And then another email exchange or a couple more email exchanges tended to suggest that maybe, just maybe, Joe Biden was receiving some of the proceeds of Hunter Biden's nefarious business activities.
00:02:42.000So we went from Hunter is doing bad stuff and Joe doesn't know about it to Hunter is doing bad stuff and Joe does know about it to Hunter is doing bad stuff and Joe is in on it.
00:02:50.000That is the evolution of the story over the last couple of weeks.
00:02:53.000Well, last night, the other shoe dropped, and it turns out that one of Hunter Biden's business partners is now confirming that Joe Biden was in on a lot of Hunter Biden's business activities and actually making money off of them.
00:03:04.000According to the New York Post, Michael Goodwin reporting.
00:03:06.000We learned that Biden has been secretly playing footsie with China.
00:03:09.000A statement on Wednesday night asserting that the former vice president was a willing and eager participant in a family scheme to make millions of dollars by partnering with a shady Chinese communist firm is a singular event in a presidential race already overflowing with drama and intrigue.
00:03:23.000The dynamite assertion, believable because it aligns with earlier information we know to be true, came in a statement by Tony Bobulinski, who describes himself as a former partner of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and Joe's brother, Jim, in the China scheme.
00:03:35.000Bobulinski unloads his bill of accusations in blunt, but precise language and detail.
00:03:39.000He actually released a rather long statement to the New York Post.
00:03:59.000This afternoon, I received a request from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance, requesting all documents relating to my business affairs with the Biden family, as well as various foreign entities and individuals.
00:04:11.000I have extensive relevant records and communications, and I intend to produce those items to both committees in the immediate future.
00:04:16.000I'm the grandson of a 37-year Army intelligence officer, the son of a 20-plus-year career naval officer, and the brother of a 28-year career naval flight officer.
00:04:24.000I myself served our country for four years and left the Navy as Lieutenant Bobulinski.
00:04:28.000I held a high-level security clearance and was an instructor and then CTO for Naval Nuclear Power Training Command.
00:04:33.000I take great pride in the time my family and I served this country.
00:04:37.000What few campaign contributions I have made in my life were to Democrats.
00:04:41.000If the media and big tech companies had done their jobs over the past several weeks, I would be irrelevant in this story.
00:04:46.000Given my long-standing service and devotion to this great country, I could no longer allow my family's name to be associated or tied to Russian disinformation or implied lies and false narratives dominating the media right now.
00:04:56.000After leaving the military, says Bobulinski, I became an institutional investor, investing extensively around the world and on every continent.
00:05:09.000I am CEO of Sina Hawk Holdings, which was a partnership between the Chinese operating through CEFC Chairman Yi and the Biden family.
00:05:15.000I was brought into the company to be the CEO by James Gilliar and Hunter Biden.
00:05:19.000The reference to the big guy in the much publicized May 13th, 2017 email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden.
00:05:24.000The other JB referenced in that email is Jim Biden, Joe's brother.
00:05:27.000Okay, so the email that he is talking about is this May 13th, 2017 email that suggested that 20% of the company was to be held for Hunter Biden and 10 was to go to quote unquote, the big guy.
00:05:38.000This is the email that implicates Joe Biden in possible actual corrupt activity.
00:05:42.000Hunter Biden called his dad the big guy or my chairman, according to Tony Bobulinski, and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing.
00:05:51.000I've seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business.
00:05:54.000I've seen firsthand that's not true, because it wasn't just Hunter's business.
00:05:57.000They said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.
00:06:00.000I realize the Chinese were not really focused on a healthy financial ROI, return on investment.
00:06:04.000They were looking at this as a political or influence investment.
00:06:07.000Once I realized that Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese, I took steps to prevent that from happening.
00:06:15.000The Johnson report, this would be the Ron Johnson report from the Senate Intelligence Committee or Homeland Security Committee, connected some dots in a way that shocked me.
00:06:23.000It made me realize the Bidens had gone behind my back and gotten paid millions of dollars by the Chinese, even though they told me they hadn't and wouldn't do that to their partners.
00:06:30.000I would ask the Biden family to address the American people and outline the facts so I can go back to being irrelevant and so I'm not put in a position to have to answer these questions for them.
00:06:37.000I don't have a political axe to grind.
00:06:39.000I just saw behind the Biden curtain and I grew concerned with what I saw.
00:06:41.000The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities, even though some were from the communist-controlled Chinese.
00:06:50.000That is the statement of Tony Bobulinski.
00:06:52.000Okay, so if that is true, then that is a massive, massive bombshell, obviously, because now you are looking at a person who should have been in a position to know, saying that Joe Biden was in on all of Hunter Biden's business activities, apparently, while he was serving in the government, right?
00:07:07.000While Joe Biden was serving in the government, apparently, he was working with Hunter Biden to clear checks, is the accusation here by Tony Bobulinski.
00:07:15.000Now, the accusation is credible if Tony Bobulinski was in the position that he's talking about, which apparently he was.
00:07:21.000If he was, then I don't see why the media can avoid asking questions about this any longer.
00:07:26.000After all, we are told that an allegation can be judged credible on its face and then requires questioning.
00:07:32.000Remember when Christine Blasey Ford came forward with an accusation that Brett Kavanaugh had raped her back during his teenage years, some 30 to 40 years ago.
00:07:39.000And this was treated as a credible accusation until the point when it fell apart.
00:07:44.000Well, if somebody makes an accusation like this on the record by name, and they say that they were in the know, and that Hunter Biden was negotiating on behalf of Joe Biden, Trade deals or some sort of investment deal with a Chinese front group, and Joe Biden was set to make money off of that, well then, some serious questions ought to be asked of Hunter and Joe Biden.
00:08:04.000As I've said before, this is not hard.
00:08:06.000All the journalistic community has to do is their job.
00:08:08.000All they have to do is say to Joe Biden, you know, you said that you didn't know about anything Hunter Biden was doing.
00:08:13.000We have pictures of you with Kazakh entrepreneurs.
00:08:16.000We have a picture of you with Hunter Biden getting off that airplane on Air Force Two.
00:08:22.000We now have reports that you were meeting with high-ranking members of the Chinese business community at Hunter's Behest.
00:08:33.000And it's not going to be sufficient for you to simply say that you don't have to answer any questions because Donald Trump is the focus of the campaign.
00:08:39.000That is an ending around of the issue.
00:08:41.000You actually have to answer those sorts of questions.
00:08:47.000The fact is that the media are so in the bag for Biden at this point that they've been more focused on blocking the dissemination of the story and reporting on how the story was reported than they have on the actual content of the story.
00:08:56.000They are deeply Deeply hesitant to ask Joe Biden anything about this stuff because they are afraid that the answer might mean that Donald Trump wins a victory and the media have decided Donald Trump must not win this election and therefore they're simply not going to ask questions about it at all.
00:09:12.000They will go along for three years with the allegations of the Steele dossier claiming that Robert Mueller was in the background putting together a damning case against Donald Trump that would end with his indictment for collusion with Russia.
00:09:28.000And in fact, they get angry if you ask them to ask questions.
00:09:31.000So, for example, Brian Stelter has a new book from CNN, Captain Reliable Sources, over here.
00:09:36.000He was interviewed by a longtime congressional reporter named Susan Ferrecchio.
00:09:40.000And she challenged him over the veracity of Hunter Biden's emails.
00:09:44.000And Brian Stelter got very angry about this because members of the media don't like to be called on the fact that they have an extraordinary double standard when it comes to reporting stories that are obviously stories.
00:09:52.000Here is Brian Stelter losing his mind when asked very simple questions about why the media double standard with regard to, for example, the Steele dossier and Russian collusion and Hunter Biden's emails.
00:10:01.000Bottom line is we don't know what is real and what is fake in these emails, if there is anything real in them.
00:10:06.000Yeah, but that doesn't stop any from reporting the Mueller and the dossier and all that stuff.
00:10:31.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden, knowing just how extraordinarily in the bag the media are for him, he keeps saying that the story's already been debunked.
00:11:36.000Okay, the allegations that are being made are on the basis of new information that has been uncovered and presented over the course of the last three weeks.
00:11:43.000No one in the intelligence community with any credibility and with any inside information has found that this is in fact, quote unquote, Russian disinformation.
00:11:49.000Nonetheless, that is what Biden is relying upon.
00:11:51.000He's relying on the the folks over at Twitter and Facebook to suppress the dissemination of the story so that he can be elected president.
00:12:43.000Well, I mean, I think that he might if he thought that the election depended on it.
00:12:47.000In fact, I have a feeling that within the next week and a half, if the Hunter Biden email story continues to percolate, that you will see Kamala Harris and Joe Biden mentioning the supposed allegations of corruption against the Trump kids.
00:12:57.000I would suspect that that is the case, and you'll start hearing that from the DNC very shortly.
00:15:45.000I know we're not supposed to talk about that.
00:15:47.000Only Russian interference on behalf of Trump is what we're supposed to talk about.
00:15:50.000We're never supposed to talk about Chinese interference or Iranian interference, both of which have been confirmed by the FBI on behalf of Joe Biden.
00:15:57.000But that broke out into the open yesterday with a late night press conference.
00:16:00.000We'll talk about that in just one second.

00:17:16.000government concluded last night that Iran has been attempting to manipulate the elections.
00:17:21.000John Ratcliffe, the Director of National Intelligence, he announced yesterday that this was happening.
00:17:27.000So did, apparently, Christopher Wray of the FBI.
00:17:29.000The FBI warned that there was an attempt to manipulate the elections.
00:17:33.000Here was the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, explaining that Iran is attempting to interfere on behalf of Joe Biden.
00:17:41.000We have already seen Iran sending spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters, incite social unrest, and damage President Trump.
00:17:53.000Additionally, Iran is distributing other content to include a video that implies that individuals could cast fraudulent ballots, even from overseas.
00:18:05.000This video and any claims about such allegedly fraud fraudulent ballots are not true.
00:18:15.000So there's an attempt to undermine credibility of the election, and it is coming, in fact, from, yes, Russia, but also Iran, also Iran.
00:18:22.000One particular aspect of the story is that Iran is behind an email operation that was directed at intimidating voters.
00:18:29.000That they were masquerading as the Proud Boys and sending emails to various Democrats and threatening them.
00:18:35.000According to the Washington Post, the disclosure by the Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe at a hastily called a news conference marked the first time in this election cycle a foreign adversary has been accused of targeting specific voters in a bid to undermine democratic confidence just four years after Russian online operations marred the 2016 presidential vote.
00:18:51.000Now, of course, Russian operations in 2016, there's not a lot of proof that it shifted anybody.
00:18:56.000All of their supposed misdirection on places like Facebook, it amounted to a tiny drop in the enormous ocean of social media content.
00:19:05.000However, this is a little more serious.
00:19:06.000The claim that Iran was behind an email operation, which came into view on Tuesday as Democrats in several states reported receiving emails demanding they vote for President Trump, was leveled without specific evidence.
00:19:28.000It was the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, suggesting, in fact, that what was happening here is that the Iranians masquerading as the Proud Boys had been attempting to email people and gin up election interference on behalf of Joe Biden, right?
00:19:41.000So it wasn't meant to intimidate the Democrats so much as it was meant to promote the idea that the Proud Boys were acting on behalf of Donald Trump and therefore attempting to suppress the vote.
00:19:50.000On Thursday, Iran summoned the Swiss envoy in Tehran, which handles U.S.
00:19:52.000affairs there, to condemn the quote-unquote baseless accusations of meddling in the U.S.
00:20:08.000Iran would certainly prefer Joe Biden.
00:20:10.000Donald Trump has killed the Iran deal.
00:20:12.000Donald Trump has facilitated the rise of an Israeli-Arab alliance in the region.
00:20:16.000Donald Trump has cut off the Iranian regime at the knees and Joe Biden pledges to prop them up again.
00:20:20.000So obviously the Iranians prefer the Biden campaign.
00:20:24.000And they've made this perfectly obvious.
00:20:25.000I mean, this is not a secret in any way, shape, or form.
00:20:28.000The emails claimed to be from a pro-Trump group called the Proud Boys, but evidence had mounted they were, in fact, the work of another hidden actor.
00:20:53.000Officials did stress the integrity of the election was intact.
00:20:57.000Former FBI Director Christopher Wray was standing next to Ratcliffe.
00:21:00.000He said, we're not going to tolerate foreign interference or any criminal activity that threatens the sanctity of your vote or undermines public confidence in the outcome of the election.
00:21:08.000Radcliffe accused Iran of using the data to send spoofed emails designed to intimidate voters and cite social unrest and damage.
00:21:14.000President Trump naturally sent a minority.
00:21:15.000It was just about undermining election confidence generally.
00:21:18.000matter from the briefing I had the strong impression it was much rather to undermine confidence in election and not aimed at any particular figure. Oh it wasn't about helping it wasn't about helping Biden as it turns out it was just about undermining election confidence generally. Oh oh so that that's what's happening here. What exactly were these emails?
00:21:34.000Well, the emails were apparently engineered by someone working at the behest of the Iranian government, according to a U.S.
00:21:38.000official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter's sensitivity.
00:21:42.000The operation appeared to exploit a vulnerability in the Proud Boys' online network.
00:21:46.000The messages advised that the group was, quote, in possession of all your information and instructed voters to change their party registration and cast their ballots for Trump.
00:21:53.000You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you, warned the emails, which by Tuesday night were said to have reached voters in as many as four states, three of them contested swing states.
00:22:46.000But it is important to note here that the Iranian disinformation, the same people who are shouting Russian disinformation, were promoting Iranian disinformation.
00:22:54.000They were promoting the idea that the Proud Boys had actually sent these emails.
00:22:56.000The Lincoln Project bros, who are clear in that sweet, sweet grifter cash, they put out a tweet promoting Iranian disinformation, actually, just a few days ago.
00:23:07.000Quote, the Proud Boys are attempting to scare voters away from the polls.
00:23:10.000This is punishable by up to a year in jail and a blatant attempt to prevent people from voting.
00:25:08.000Okay, so how's this debate going to play out tonight?
00:25:11.000According to the New York Times, Republicans would like to see the president offer an affirmative vision for the country and draw policy contrasts with Mr. Biden in terms that resonate with the few undecided voters remaining.
00:25:20.000But Trump, with his history of indiscipline and invective, has struggled to define Biden this year, and he is running short on time.
00:25:26.000Trump's advisers hope he can get under Biden's skin on Thursday at the debate in Nashville that will begin at 9 p.m.
00:25:52.000But it is also true that if people start to perceive Joe Biden as a corrupt old Washington crony, which in all likelihood he is, I mean, going back years and years and years, there are all sorts of reports of his son Hunter making bank off of connections to the Biden name.
00:26:05.000This goes all the way back to Joe Biden shilling on behalf of credit card companies while his son was picking up checks from some of the people lobbying on behalf of those bills.
00:26:14.000That fact could harm Joe Biden and it's important that Trump bring it up for sure.
00:26:19.000Well, it's because the Hunter Biden story is important to the Trump campaign that you're starting to see what looks very much like sort of an organized campaign to go after Rudy Giuliani.
00:26:29.000Now, Rudy Giuliani, this is a dude who is likely to get himself into trouble on a fairly regular basis.
00:26:37.000Rudy Giuliani is a wild character for sure.
00:27:45.000OK, so when it comes to Rudy Giuliani.
00:27:48.000Apparently, he and a woman named Maria Bakalova, who plays his daughter in his new Borat re-redo, it's Borat the Return, they meet with Rudy Giuliani.
00:28:00.000According to NBC News, Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, fell for an embarrassing Sacha Baron Cohen prank in the soon-to-be-released movie sequel to Borat in the film, a copy of which was obtained by NBC News.
00:28:11.000Giuliani and a young woman posing as a reporter who was part of Cohen's sting can be seen going into a hotel bedroom for drinks at the woman's invitation after completing what Giuliani apparently believed to be a real interview about the COVID pandemic and Trump's response to it.
00:28:23.000The incident occurred as Giuliani 76 was trying to remove his microphone with the help of the actress, which has been used as part of the movie's interview with him.
00:28:29.000The film, which is being released Friday on Amazon Prime Video, shows Giuliani reclining on a bed and putting his hand down his pants and moving it around for what appears to be a few seconds while the actress playing Borat's teenage daughter, Maria Bakalova, 24, who's pretending to be a television reporter, stands in front of him.
00:28:43.000At this point, Borat runs into the room shouting, she's 15, she's too old for you.
00:28:49.000Giuliani quickly sits up and appears to be startled by the presence of Cohen, who wears a pink outfit that resembles lingerie.
00:28:54.000Giuliani asks him, why are you dressed like this?
00:29:06.000Listen to how NBC News characterizes this.
00:29:07.000In a tweet Wednesday afternoon, Giuliani claimed without evidence that the quote Borat video is a complete fabrication. I was tucking in my shirt after taking off the recording equipment, Giuliani tweeted. And no time before, during or after the interview was I ever inappropriate. If Sasha Baron Cohen implies otherwise, he's a stone cold liar. Beyond what is seen in the movie, NBC News does not know what happened before or after the film's incident. The film also features a scene in which Bacalova asked Giuliani about the coronavirus pandemic.
00:29:31.000He responds, trying to manufacture COVID-19 and deliberately spread it all over the world.
00:29:34.000I don't think anybody was eating bats, he adds, before jokingly asking her if she's ever eaten a bat.
00:29:38.000He appears to agree to eat one, if she will.
00:29:41.000The prank is one of the most notable in the Borat sequel.
00:29:44.000Okay, now Giuliani had said in early July this happened, that he called the New York City Police Department after the setup.
00:29:49.000He thought it was some sort of blackmail routine.
00:29:50.000Giuliani said, this guy comes running in wearing a crazy, what I would say was a pink transgender outfit.
00:29:54.000This person comes in yelling and screaming.
00:29:56.000I thought this must be a scam or a shakedown, so I reported it to the cops.
00:29:59.000I only later realized it must have been Sacha Baron Cohen.
00:30:30.000This one falls under don't be an idiot for Rudy Giuliani.
00:30:33.000However, however, what the film apparently shows is not Rudy Giuliani reaching down his pants, Jeffrey Steuben style.
00:30:39.000It does appear to show Giuliani, who is 76, attempting to get a microphone off of himself.
00:30:44.000Ben Dreyfuss, who is certainly no right winger.
00:30:46.000He's the editorial director of Mother Jones.
00:30:48.000He tweeted this out, quote, I have now seen the scene with Rudy Giuliani, and though it is creepy for other reasons, it is being described on Twitter in a false way.
00:30:55.000He does not have his hand down his pants in a sexual way.
00:30:58.000He is tucking his shirt back in after she untucks it, removing his mic.
00:31:02.000Also, the bad thing is a joke she prompts, and he just politely agrees.
00:31:05.000So it is not that Giuliani is suggesting we eat bats together.
00:32:52.000I don't see Twitter censoring any of that stuff.
00:32:54.000Twitter also apparently did not censor this story in which a college student posed as Ivanka Trump and pretended that he had had text exchanges with Rudy Giuliani.
00:33:07.000It was retweeted, it was put out there by half of the blue checkmark media yesterday.
00:33:12.000This idea that Giuliani had been texting with Ivanka because he's an idiot.
00:33:16.000According to Mediaite, supposed text messages posted by college student Nick Roberts onto Twitter allegedly since President Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani are not real.
00:33:23.000It is satire, Roberts told Mediaite on Wednesday afternoon.
00:33:25.000It's a conversation I had with my brother, he added.
00:33:28.000Most people have caught on to it being a joke, but then the national people picked it up, the college student stated, before saying that after Mediaite's tweet, reporters began reaching out in large numbers.
00:33:37.000There are these fake text messages that suggested that Ivanka Trump was texting Giuliani and Giuliani was returning the text.
00:33:47.000Rachel Maddow tweeted out, I can't even.
00:33:50.000David Freelander tweeted out, Rudy seems to have learned his lesson.
00:33:52.000He's tightening protocols, checking IDs, and is now being taken in by someone claiming to be Ivanka Trump, but who is in fact the vice president of the College Democrats of Indiana.
00:34:00.000David Friedlander, by the way, is the editor.
00:34:02.000He's a contributing editor at Politico Magazine.
00:34:13.000And again, you can doubt Rudy Giuliani's word, you're perfectly free to do that without falsifying information or reporting false information.
00:34:19.000Have any of these people been suspended from Twitter for pushing false information?
00:34:23.000Have any of them been suppressed on Facebook for pushing false information?
00:34:37.000Okay, meanwhile, The question of the election is starting to turn to what comes next if Joe Biden is elected.
00:34:45.000Amazing we had to get to two weeks before the election for people to start asking basic questions about what is going to happen if Joe Biden is in fact elected.
00:34:52.000As I mentioned yesterday on the show and talked about at length, there is this bizarre view that if Joe Biden is elected, all bad things stop.
00:34:58.000Everything goes back to supposed normal.
00:35:25.000He's doing so because he's afraid that AOC is going to primary him inside of New York State.
00:35:30.000So watch for the Democrats to move wildly to the left.
00:35:32.000Joe Biden, you know, he may try to, I would say, I don't know, pat these people on the head and then tell them to go along their merry way.
00:35:43.000We'll discuss that in just one second.
00:35:46.000First, let us talk about The fact that you're consuming an awful lot of media these days, I mean, we are two weeks out from an election, and a lot of us are still stuck at home, and we can't go to a movie theater, and this means what you need is a great pair of wireless earbuds.
00:35:57.000That's why I recommend wireless earbuds from Raycon.
00:35:59.000Raycon's newest model, the Everyday E25s, those are the best ones yet.

00:38:05.000Go check out How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps.
00:38:08.000Once more, it is a pre-election must-read and a post-election must-read as well.
00:38:12.000Also, ever since Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, many in the press have suggested free dissemination of information on social media is the problem.
00:38:19.000They say the big problem is that Facebook allowed conservatives to say what they want.
00:38:23.000These sources from the mainstream media to members of the social media companies themselves have pressured social media leaders to reimpose from the top down a monopoly on informational dissemination that existed before the internet.
00:38:33.000They're attempting to re-establish a monopoly on information from the mainstream media.
00:38:39.000pushed weekly by Kara Swisher and Kevin Roos at the New York Times and people like Judd Lum-lum-lum-lum.
00:38:43.000They routinely tweet out lists of highly trafficked pages on Facebook in order to not so subtly imply that Facebook is gaming the system on behalf of conservatives and Trump.
00:38:52.000That's why this week, our own co-CEO Jeremy Boring launched a new podcast titled Enough.

00:40:15.000So what exactly is the plan for Democrats beyond the election?
00:40:26.000Well, Joe Biden announced finally his plan with regard to court packing.
00:40:31.000So, his plan for court packing, he announced it on CBS this morning, two weeks out from the election.
00:40:37.000He says he is going to have a commission.
00:40:39.000And that commission is going to examine the problems with the politicization of the court.
00:40:44.000He said it's a controversial proposal that would add nine justices to the Supreme Court.
00:40:49.000He is going to put out a commission Of course, and so here's the reality.
00:40:55.000A lot of people on the right are going to spin that as Joe Biden going soft on court packing, that he wants to court pack.
00:41:00.000What it actually suggests is that he wants to kill this thing softly.
00:41:02.000He doesn't actually want to court pack.
00:41:04.000What he wants to do is put out a SOP to the various Democratic Party constituencies and then kind of let it die in the same way the Democrats keep calling for commissions to explore slavery reparations without actually introducing a bill at any point.
00:41:15.000So they're going to do the same thing with regard to court packing.
00:41:27.000Let's say that the Democrats pass something in the House.
00:41:29.000Let's say Nancy Pelosi is pressured into pushing a court packing bill.
00:41:33.000And let's say that Chuck Schumer, afraid of the AOC wing of the Democratic Party, pushes that same bill.
00:41:38.000You think that Joe Biden's gonna veto it?
00:41:39.000Joe Biden ain't vetoing anything coming from the radicals in his party.
00:41:42.000He is too afraid of what they are going to do.
00:41:44.000He is too afraid that they will undermine his ability to govern.
00:41:48.000Do you think Joe Biden is more likely to reach across the aisle to Mitch McConnell, or is he more likely to reach back to his radical left, especially if the possibility arises that Democrats have a heavy majority in the House as well as a majority in the Senate?
00:41:59.000At that point, he ain't reaching across the aisle to Republicans.
00:42:02.000He is reaching over to his radical left.
00:42:03.000Here is Joe Biden, however, basically attempting to kill the court-packing talk by kind of sopping his base.
00:42:11.000If elected, what I will do is I'll put together a national commission of, bipartisan commission of scholars, constitutional scholars, Democrats, Republicans, liberal, conservative, and I will ask them to, over 180 days, come back to me with recommendations as to how to reform the court system because it's getting out of whack.
00:42:34.000So you're telling us you're going to study this issue about whether to pack the court.
00:42:38.000No, there's a number of alternatives that go well beyond packing.
00:42:43.000Meanwhile, lurking in the wings is, of course, Kamala Harris.
00:42:45.000Joe Biden keeps saying that Kamala Harris is ready to be president on day one.
00:42:48.000Yeah, that's what we're afraid of, Joe.
00:42:49.000Here was Joe Biden talking about how his radical VP would make an excellent president.
00:42:54.000I was convinced that we have to form an administration that looks and represents the American people across the board and also someone who is ready God forbid, on day one, that they could step up and be the President of the United States.
00:43:08.000And I think Kamala met all those requirements.
00:43:43.000So get ready for more lockdowns with Biden's president.
00:43:47.000Nobody wants to get back to school more than the teachers do, the educators.
00:43:51.000We'd give anything to be back in our classrooms.
00:43:54.000But we are listening to what the doctors and the scientists are telling us.
00:43:58.000And when it's safe to go back, we'll go back.
00:44:01.000But right now, you know, we have to do this remote learning.
00:44:06.000Okay, so they're going to go for more lockdowns.
00:44:08.000You're going to see Joe Biden basically pushed around by his own base.
00:44:11.000That is not a shock in any way, of course.
00:44:13.000Meanwhile, Barack Obama has re-emerged on the campaign trail because Obama wants his revenge.
00:44:18.000Obama understands that Donald Trump's election in 2016 was a ringing rebuke of him.
00:44:24.000It was about Hillary, but it was also about Barack Obama.
00:44:26.000And there's always been this sort of bizarro world Reverse polarization between Trump and Obama.
00:44:32.000I've told you before, one of my favorite photos in all of human history is the photo of Donald Trump visiting the White House after being elected and sitting next to Barack Obama, who has to hand the keys to this place, to Donald Trump.
00:44:42.000And it's just Obama looking like he wants to die while Trump gives the Trump finger.
00:44:47.000over here yeah to the cameras and behind him and behind them is a bust of Abraham Lincoln looking at the floor. It is the funniest thing in the entire world. The fact is that all Donald Trump is is the less sophisticated and more brazen version of Barack Obama from the right.
00:45:04.000Everything that Obama says about Donald Trump is true of Barack Obama.
00:45:06.000It's one of the great ironies of American political politics that Barack Obama is seen as this wonderful spokesperson for higher American ideals when he very obviously is not.
00:45:16.000So every time you hear Obama speak, you should recognize that he's actually critiquing Barack Obama.
00:45:20.000So Obama was out on the campaign trail for Joe Biden yesterday in Pennsylvania, and he said that you have to stop tweeting at the television.
00:45:52.000Okay, that is a man who never had a plan and really did not put in tons of work.
00:45:57.000And when I say he didn't put in tons of work, I'm not saying that he was lazy.
00:45:59.000I'm saying that he did not care about reaching across the aisle and actually making sure that his proposals got passed.
00:46:04.000His idea of work was signing executive agreements, executive orders, pen and phone governance, and speaking to media who just rubbed his ass every single day.
00:46:13.000I mean, that was literally his idea of the job.
00:46:15.000Also, there's a great irony to him suggesting that it's very bad that Trump tweets about the news.
00:46:59.000Barack Obama was an observer to his own administration, according to Barack Obama, and now he's angry that Trump acts exactly the same way.
00:47:06.000Barack Obama broke all the precedents.
00:47:07.000Donald Trump was just the guy who stomped all over them and ground them into glass.
00:47:15.000So Barack Obama went after Trump's language.
00:47:17.000He said he emboldens others to be cruel and divisive.
00:47:20.000Again, I'm old enough to remember the Obama administration when it became stock in trade to suggest that your political opponents were bitter clingers, who were evil, nasty, racist, that people as milquetoast as Mitt Romney were evil.
00:47:33.000If you want to talk about people emboldening the cruel and the divisive, Barack Obama was no wilting lily in that particular department.
00:48:19.000When you went to a Dallas police memorial after a bunch of officers were shot and talked about American police being bad, that didn't embolden anyone, it turns out.
00:48:28.000Every criticism that Barack Obama makes about Trump is also true of Barack Obama.
00:48:33.000He said that Trump can't take the job seriously.
00:48:35.000Now, listen, I think a lot of this is true about Trump, by the way.
00:48:38.000I think Trump doesn't take the job particularly seriously.
00:48:40.000I think Trump does act like he is outside his own administration a lot.
00:48:44.000I think that Trump's rhetoric is very often bad.
00:48:46.000I also think that the world didn't begin spinning when Donald Trump became president, and the reason you ended up with Trump is because of Barack Obama in Maine.
00:48:52.000Here is Barack Obama saying that Trump can't take the job seriously.
00:49:14.000I never thought Donald Trump would embrace my vision or continue my policies, but I did hope, for the sake of the country, that he might show some interest in taking the job seriously.
00:50:30.000I mean, if I had a bank account in China, they'd call me Beijing Barry.
00:50:33.000That's what they'd call me, Beijing Barry.
00:50:34.000Okay, first of all, if anyone called him Barry during his entire presidency, they were immediately labeled racist because his name is Barack, not Barry, even though he called himself Barry back in high school.
00:50:43.000Number two, the media would never call him anything.
00:51:36.000Barack Obama, when it comes to foreign influence, he did promise the Russians flexibility on an open mic in his 2012 re-election campaign, and we were told by the media that it was a complete nothing-burger.
00:51:50.000Barack Obama, in 2008, there was a tape of Rashid Khalidi, who was a spokesperson for the Palestine Liberation Organization, like an actual terrorist organization, speaking warmly about Barack Obama.
00:52:01.000That tape was obtained by the LA Times.
00:52:15.000I mean, there's just an overt falsehood.
00:52:17.000Donald Trump likes to claim he built this economy.
00:52:21.000But America created 1.5 million more jobs in the last three years of the Obama-Biden administration than in the first three years of the Trump-Pence administration.
00:53:18.000They say this has been a sham process from the beginning.
00:53:20.000Weird, since you all participated in the judicial confirmation hearing.
00:53:23.000They say, amidst a global pandemic and ongoing election, Republicans are rushing to confirm a Supreme Court justice to take away health care for millions and execute the extreme and deeply unpopular agenda they've been unable to get through Congress.
00:53:34.000Republicans broke the promises they made and the rules they created when they blocked Merrick Garland's nomination for eight months under President Obama.
00:53:41.000Then, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice.
00:53:47.000Now, Republicans have moved at breakneck speed to jam through this nominee, ignoring her troubling record and unprecedented evasions, and breaking longstanding committee rules to set tomorrow's vote.
00:54:00.000When the party of the president and the party of the Senate are not the same, senators rarely vote for the nominees of the president of the United States in an election year.
00:54:08.000And that just does not happen all that often.
00:54:11.000By the way, I love that they are saying that Amy Coney Barrett has a troubling record.
00:54:26.000So Democrats say, But they are not going to grant this process any further legitimacy by participating in a committee markup of this nomination just 12 days before the culmination of an election that is already underway.
00:54:44.000Again, their whole philosophy of the judiciary is completely perverse.
00:54:48.000Erwin Chemerinsky, who is a First Amendment law professor at University of California, Berkeley, has an entire piece explaining why the left hates Amy Coney Barrett so much.
00:54:57.000He says her philosophy makes her incredibly dangerous.
00:55:00.000Do we really want our rights to be determined by the understandings of centuries ago?
00:55:04.000Well, you can determine your rights at the ballot box.
00:55:07.000The fact that the Supreme Court of the United States is tasked with interpreting a document to mean what it meant, that is not a violation of rights.
00:55:15.000It is a violation of rights to have a bunch of people like Erwin Chemerinsky sitting above you and deciding for you what your rights are.
00:55:22.000Trurinsky says originalists believe the meaning of a constitutional provision is fixed when it was adopted. It can be changed only by constitutional amendment. Yep. Under the under this view, the Typically, law doesn't magically change and morph based on circumstance.
00:55:33.000was adopted in 1791 and the 14th amendment means the same thing as when it was ratified in 1868. Yes because that's how law works.
00:55:40.000Typically law doesn't magically change and morph based on circumstance.
00:55:43.000The law means what it meant. If I heard a letter to my wife today it speaks of my feelings for my wife today. It does not change, it does not morph, it is not poetry.
00:55:53.000That is the purpose of written language.
00:55:55.000Literally, the purpose of written language is to codify what people are thinking right then.
00:55:59.000You wouldn't read a book by Dostoevsky and then try to interpret it as a racial parable about America in 2020.
00:56:08.000Because Dostoevsky wasn't writing about that.
00:56:21.000The same Congress that voted to ratify the 14th Amendment, which assures equal protection of the laws, also voted to segregate the District of Columbia public schools.
00:56:28.000Following originalism would mean that Brown v. Board of Education was wrongly decided in declaring laws requiring segregation of schools unconstitutional.
00:57:15.000Meanwhile, Senate Democrats have decided to block another attempt to provide relief to the American people thanks to COVID lockdowns.
00:57:23.000According to CNBC, Senate Democrats blocked Republicans' attempts to pass a $500 billion coronavirus stimulus bill on Wednesday, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin make a last-ditch push to strike a relief deal before the 2020 election.
00:57:36.000Now Mitch McConnell has been telling Trump not to go along with those negotiations.
00:57:40.000Because McConnell knows how this works.
00:57:41.000Usually what happens is that Mnuchin gets in a room with Pelosi, he immediately gives away the entire store, Trump signs off on it, and then it turns out to be difficult to wrangle the votes in the Senate for a bad deal.
00:57:50.000So instead what you're saying is, how about this?
00:57:52.000How about we pass what we want to pass since we are the party of the majority in the Senate?
00:58:01.000It happens to be the correct position.
00:58:03.000Senate Democrats did obstruct yesterday.
00:58:05.000They once again filibustered a vote that had majority approval.
00:58:09.000The measure failed in a 51 to 44 party line vote.
00:58:12.000It required 60 votes to shut down the filibuster.
00:58:16.000The stalemate in the Senate extends months of gridlock on Capitol Hill, as millions of Americans trying to afford food and housing and keep their businesses open await more federal aid during an economic crisis.
00:58:24.000Election year politics have jarred the legislative process as new COVID-19 infections reach levels unseen in weeks.
00:58:30.000Republicans in Congress argue the Democrats have reached for an expensive wish list filled with many provisions unrelated to the crisis.
00:58:37.000McConnell has said Democrats are engaging in all or nothing obstruction as they hold out for a comprehensive deal worth about $2 trillion.
00:58:44.000It's the federal government between the Federal Reserve and the money that has already been allocated by Congress.
00:58:49.000We've spent something like $6 to $7 trillion so far.
00:58:54.000Not a narrow relief package tailored to helping people in the now.
00:58:57.000They want to bail out states for all of their bad union contracts going back years.
00:59:02.000They want a bunch of unrelated provisions stacked into a giant pork bill.
00:59:07.000Democrats, meanwhile, say that the bill is, quote-unquote, partisan and emaciated.
00:59:13.000The legislation before the Senate on Wednesday included funds for a second Paycheck Protection Program loan for struggling small businesses, a $300-per-week supplemental unemployment insurance benefit, and liability protections for businesses, among other provisions.
00:59:24.000It didn't include another round of direct payments to people.
00:59:26.000Instead, it was designed to get businesses up and running again.
00:59:31.000Both Pelosi and Mark Meadows said they aim to have a deal in place before the end of the week.
00:59:35.000But of course, every time the White House takes a step toward the Democrats' position, they risk losing Republican support.
00:59:41.000And it is unlikely that McConnell is going to bring forth a bill that does not have at least a majority of Republicans in support of the bill.
00:59:48.000So Democrats continue to obstruct COVID relief.
