00:02:08.000Well, and if you didn't know, the knives are out for me, it's okay because two separate publications both use the same headline that the knives are out for me.
00:02:41.000He petitioned the Supreme Court, and Amy Howe on SCOTUS blog yesterday gave an update.
00:02:48.000The Supreme Court agreed to hear oral arguments in Fisher versus the United States on April 16th.
00:02:56.000And why that's significant is: number one, that's two months from now before they even hear the case.
00:03:00.000This is that strange obstruction of an official proceeding charge that is supposed to relate to deletion of electronic records as it was first applied in the Enron case 20 years ago.
00:03:14.000So the J6 prosecutors have twisted that charge, have 300, they have it against 300 different J6 defendants, and it also makes up two of the four charges against Trump in the Jack Smith case.
00:03:28.000So everyone is paying attention to the immunity issue and whether the Supreme Court will issue a stay or what they will do with that ruling and how that will delay the Jack Smith trial.
00:03:38.000But they're sort of forgetting that if two of the four charges against Trump are still to be decided by the Supreme Court, then there's no way that trial can begin until that decision comes.
00:03:51.000So it's an April 16th oral arguments, and Amy Howe said the decision would be due in late June.
00:03:57.000So as a last thought on that, the Trump team hasn't brought this up in a filing because the case, the Judge Chutkin case is essentially, you know, it's delayed right now based on the immunity issue.
00:04:11.000So as soon as that immunity issue is decided either positively or negatively for Trump, then they will be able to do a filing and say, not so fast, Jack Smith.
00:04:21.000You can't proceed on these other two charges because of the Supreme Court.
00:04:55.000Well, it's just traditionally the DOJ avoided advancing criminal stuff really close to an election.
00:05:01.000So one interesting facet of this is, and that will really, I think, twist how people react to this, is are we going to get, you know, in October, and normally the DOJ would stand back, stand down for this time.
00:05:17.000But is Jack Smith going to say, no, we need to ram this through as fast as we can?
00:06:20.000What is the big thing, the big ace in the pocket that leftist media has pulled out over the last two months?
00:06:25.000In every poll, they always say, hey, but we have this outlier poll that says 42% or 52% of Republicans would change their mind about Trump if he were convicted of a felony, right?
00:06:38.000Well, here's why I don't believe those polls.
00:06:40.000Those exact same polls existed 10 months ago and said 60% of Republicans would change their minds if Trump is indicted for a criminal charge, right?
00:06:59.000Trump was indicted four times and his support went up.
00:07:02.000So I don't hold politically, I'm not afraid of a conviction because as you said, it's going to be, I mean, that's the whole Alvin Bragg case, right?
00:07:12.000Everyone has said you can't criminalize an election violation, right?
00:07:19.000I mean, the FEC would normally handle all of these things.
00:07:23.000It's a misdemeanor at most, and you can't turn it into a felony.
00:07:27.000But Judge Mershon is a corrupt judge in New York and Manhattan, and he's going to, you know, he doesn't seem to be putting up any roadblocks in front of the Alvin Bragg case.
00:07:36.000So they're most likely going to get a conviction.
00:07:39.000Now, as many have said, even, you know, Trump's enemy, John Bolton, said famously on CNN that this case has no chance on appeal.
00:07:47.000But politically, they're going to try to get that convicted felon, and then they're going to run poll after poll to see if it's really true that Trump has now suddenly lost a huge base of support.
00:08:42.000I mean, I was shocked at how objectively the Atlanta Journal Constitution covered the trial last week or the hearing last week.
00:08:50.000And I was stunned when they picked up the story and they put it on the front page this morning so quickly.
00:08:55.000So I, you know, look, if you've lost the AJC, you're losing.
00:09:00.000And I think, you know, they put a line in that story of that Judge Scott McAfee will have to decide whether to allow this evidence from the private investigator into trial.
00:09:11.000That's, you know, that's wish casting there.
00:09:13.000There is no chance that Scott McAfee can exclude this evidence.
00:09:19.000Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade are off that case, and they will have to look for a completely new set of prosecutors, which will require a delay.

00:13:15.000I was in media right out of college originally, and I worked for CNN and Lou Dobbs.
00:13:20.000And I've just been paying attention forever.
00:13:22.000And one of the things I always noticed is that you have a huge number of websites that do the same story.
00:13:29.000And it happens at, you know, and so the problem is that when everyone wants to get into the media business, they essentially try to just sort of recreate what everyone else has done.
00:13:43.000They create a website that does 20, 25 important stories a day.
00:13:46.000But the problem is everyone, you know, many other websites are doing those same stories.
00:13:50.000And so they have high fixed costs with very expensive writers.
00:13:54.000So I knew from the beginning, I mean, obviously it's an aggregation site.
00:13:58.000So it's, you know, it's like I luck out just based on that choice because I don't really have to do any of the writing, though I did originally, I was doing 50 or 60 of my own stories every day.
00:14:11.000But as an aggregation site, as long as you've got the stamina, I mean, you talked about visiting 48 times the other day, which is insane.
00:14:20.000But the reason that you're able to do that is, I mean, that's also the bane of my existence, right?
00:14:25.000Because I know that people are coming every half hour.
00:14:28.000They're coming every 20 or 30 minutes.
00:14:31.000So I've got to have 10 or 15 stories every hour from 9 in the morning until 1 a.m.
00:15:35.000I mean, if Trump was president, they'd all be like really popular.
00:15:38.000It's just amazing because they were all bound up with that zeitgeist of Web 2.0, Facebook, new social media, and then on top of that being insanely anti-Trump.
00:15:47.000And they're not even going to outlive Donald Trump's political career.
00:15:51.000Kane, final thoughts on just the media landscape 2024, other stories you have your eyes on?
00:15:57.000Well, first of all, you talked about the NCAA tournament.
00:16:01.000So I want to give a shout out to Northwestern, which is, I know you grew up in Evanston.
00:16:06.000I headed out of the CFP headquarters, the cave, for about an hour a week ago and saw Northwestern just dominate the Hoosiers in Assembly Hall.
00:16:34.000The Supreme Court could have avoided the Fisher case, right?
00:16:38.000That was just one of hundreds of cases that were put before them in December, but they really, really quickly granted cert in that case.
00:16:45.000And that should tell people something.
00:16:47.000That should tell people that those two of four, that the two obstruction of an official proceeding charges are going to be thrown out in that Trump case.
00:16:54.000And so I would like to direct people to, you know, pay close attention to that case.
00:16:59.000And with that, I'll throw it back to you.
00:17:13.000For years, I've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues, especially true if you're a Christian family.
00:17:19.000For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I want to tell you about how Turning Point Academy is working with the Herzog Foundation, how you at home can also benefit from it.
00:17:28.000They have an online publication called The Lion, and also Making the Leap.
00:17:31.000The Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for your kids.
00:18:07.000So Argentina had a 135% inflation rate.
00:18:12.000They were a Pyranist country with kind of socialist policies that all failed.
00:18:16.000Pyronism is named for Juan Perrone, who is essentially an anti-capitalist corporate, who essentially created this anti-capitalist corporate model with a government middleman.
00:18:30.000And as we know, countries that are socialist adjacent or socialists themselves, like Venezuela, always fail and they often collapse.
00:18:38.000In this case, though, Argentinians, they found a solution and they found it in an anarcho-capitalist, libertarian-leaning man, Javier Malay.
00:18:49.000And it really, it's much like our founding fathers, kind of his policies.
00:18:56.000So he speaks about socialists scathingly in the same way like our founders spoke about King George.
00:19:02.000And he wanted to cut off the head of the snake, which he did.
00:19:06.000So his policy positions were to cut spending through the cutting the ministries was the main way that he was going to do this.
00:19:12.000And that's essentially equivalent to cutting the Department of Education, the Department of Interior, you know, that sort of stuff, which he did.
00:19:21.000So within nine and a half weeks, he created a surplus in his budget, which is just incredible.
00:19:31.000So before Javier Malay took office, Argentina's inflation rate had been rising at about 16% a month, roughly.
00:19:40.000And Malay's plan was to devalue the peso 50% to kind of make it.
00:19:46.000So their peso was issued by Argentinian politicians.
00:19:53.000So his goal was to decrease the value of the peso, devalue it by 50%, which he did.
00:20:00.000And this created, as he told Argentinians, it would create some kind of a little bit of backlash that would be temporary and create a little bit of poverty.
00:20:08.000So there was a little bit of temporary fallout, but this is how you kind of have to quell triple digit inflation.
00:20:29.000I had a tweet that went viral and was retweeted.
00:20:34.000I shouldn't say retweeted, reposted by Javier Malay himself.
00:20:37.000So I was getting feedback from Argentinians.
00:20:39.000I was getting feedback from kind of everybody.
00:20:42.000And there are some Argentinians that still lean left and they're like, we're starving.
00:20:47.000And it's like, well, part of quelling this inflation was having to devalue the peso, which was going to make it a little bit harder to survive for a little bit.
00:20:55.000But, you know, you just voted in all these policies for 12 years or whatever that you've been, you've been starving for 12 years, dude, you know?
00:21:01.000So, of course, you know, there's some people who are unhappy just because they're always going to be unhappy because they're socialist and the capitalist policy is working.
00:21:11.000But most people are so happy with the progress of this.
00:22:06.000But and 100 years ago, they were one of the richest countries in the world.
00:22:10.000There was a saying, rich as an Argentine, because you'd have these fabulously wealthy Argentine beef magnates traveling to Europe and living it up.
00:22:19.000It was almost like they were like the Arab sheiks of their day.
00:22:23.000And they basically had this political moment.
00:23:27.000It's finally gotten bad enough that, yeah, they've hit the emergency button and they've elected basically the most extreme guy they possibly could.
00:24:50.000He doesn't seem to care, though, meaning not care that like there's not poverty, meaning he knows that it's going to require, it's like taking your cough syrup medicine.
00:24:58.000You don't like it, but it's going to help.
00:25:00.000And it just seems as if he just knows that you're going to have to embrace the haters and so be it.
00:26:31.000Well, it's the classic, like, if you ignore a medical problem for, you know, five years, fixing it is going to be a lot harder than it's where America's headed.
00:27:45.000Well, we need to have a president in there that does that.
00:27:49.000We need to have a Congress that won't hold up the president.
00:27:55.000We just, we need to vote in favor of ourselves, not in favor of how we feel to be able to get politicians who are liberty-minded.
00:28:04.000So the fact that Argentina's elected somebody, the fact that we're seeing what's happening, the fact that we are in chaos right now and people are looking to vote red when they've never voted red before in their lives.
00:28:15.000Our economy, everything is failing right now, and everybody's struggling.
00:28:52.000I mean, so for 50 years, El Salvador, El Salvador was preposterously violent.
00:29:00.000You would have a whole country where the murder rate for the average year would be as bad as, you know, the worst neighborhood in St. Louis or Baltimore, just year in, year out.
00:29:09.000And it would fluctuate a bit, but it was always high.
00:29:12.000And in, I believe, 2019, they elected Bukele.
00:29:17.000He was the mayor of San Salvador, the capital.
00:29:20.000And he came in and it was sort of interesting.
00:29:25.000He was just talking about, okay, we need to build up our security state.
00:29:28.000And according to claims, they'll claim that he negotiated a ceasefire with these gangs or is working with them in some capacity.
00:29:36.000And what's interesting is it seems like he might have been doing the Muhammad Ali Ropa Dope strat, where you let them lure them into a sense of security.
00:29:45.000And then they angered them and they did kind of a killing spree.
00:29:48.000And in one day, they shot more than 20 people.
00:31:15.000Or just our rules of fire in a state of war is not the same as we don't arrest every single guy in the Taliban and put them on trial before we decide that you're allowed to shoot at them.
00:31:36.000The disease that had begun with mild symptoms got worse and worse.
00:31:42.000It became a cancer that seemed incurable.
00:31:47.000We are already seeing these symptoms in the United States.
00:31:50.000Big cities in decline, like Baltimore, Portland, New York, just to name a few.
00:31:55.000Places where crime and drugs have become the daily norm and even accepted and promoted by the government.
00:32:03.000And so, what does Soros have to do with all this?
00:32:08.000He was pumping in money through NGOs or something.
00:32:11.000Well, so Soros does this open societies thing that he does in every country where he funds his vision of an open society.
00:32:18.000And we've seen in the U.S. what that's like.
00:32:20.000It's always be very soft on crime, be very indulgent of criminals because I guess deep down, it's like if we aren't really indulgent of criminals, then like Hitler comes back.
00:32:32.000And in reality, it's the exact opposite.
00:32:34.000The only way you'd ever get something like that is an enormous backlash to this sort of chaos.
00:32:39.000And I think to Bukele's credit, he just said this is not how anyone wants to live in their country.
