00:03:59.060 you why you haven't heard this everywhere i want to read this story from time magazine time.com came
00:04:07.660 out yesterday afternoon since the start of the public impeachment hearings in congress last month
00:04:15.160 andrey yermak a top advisor to the president of the ukraine has heard his name come up again and again
00:04:23.180 in witness testimony he took part in many of the events at the center of the impeachment inquiry i want
00:04:31.040 you to listen to that his name has come up again and again in fact his name is mentioned in the
00:04:37.000 impeachment inquiry dozens of times he was at many of the events that were quoting at the center
00:04:46.500 of the impeachment inquiry and a 300 page report last week by the inquiry mentions yermak by name
00:04:56.420 dozens of times but in his first interview about those public hearings yermak has questioned the
00:05:03.740 recollections of this is time magazine of crucial witnesses into the impeachment inquiry into donald trump's
00:05:13.360 alleged abuse of his office for political gain so the guy who is at the center
00:05:20.220 of the events that make the impeachment inquiry the guy who is quoted the guy who is they say all of them
00:05:33.920 said oh no he was there he's now saying i i don't think the witnesses remember this correctly
00:05:42.340 yermak told time magazine in an interview on december 4th listen i want to tell you straight
00:05:49.100 of course now when i watch these shows on television my name often comes up and i see people there whom
00:05:56.620 i recognize whom i have met and whom i know he says referring to the witness testimony that is their
00:06:05.380 personal opinion especially the positions they expressed while under oath but i have my own truth
00:06:14.000 i know what i know the most crucial point at which yermak's recollection contradicts the testimony of
00:06:22.160 the inquiry's witnesses relates to a meeting in warsaw on september 1st when ukrainian president
00:06:29.260 zelensky met with vice president mike pence you remember this the story is that they were meeting
00:06:35.820 and uh all of a sudden mike pence just ended the meeting quickly and they walked out and the ambassadors
00:06:43.240 they all had to they all had to quarter mr yermak and say i am sorry for that i don't know i mean
00:06:49.800 look you just have to do what the president says or you're not going to get any of this aid
00:06:55.080 that's what the witnesses said this was the only time that we have anybody saying quid pro quo
00:07:04.540 most crucial point is his recollection that contradicts the testimony of the inquiry's
00:07:11.340 witnesses the meeting was part of an ongoing effort by the zelinski administration to improve ties with
00:07:18.260 the trump administration one of the american diplomats who attended that meeting gordon sondland
00:07:23.700 the u.s ambassador to the european union testified before the inquiry last month that he quote
00:07:30.780 pulled yermak aside after the meeting and delivered an important message u.s aid to ukraine would
00:07:39.220 probably not resume until zelensky's government announced two investigations that could implicate
00:07:45.560 president trump's political revivals quote i told mr yermak that i believed that the resumption of the
00:07:54.580 u.s aid would likely not occur until ukraine took some kind of action on the public statement that we
00:08:02.240 had been discussing for many weeks end quote that's the testimony now let's see what mr yermak says
00:08:11.680 this statement was allegedly intended to announce two investigations one into the discredited claims
00:08:18.440 that ukraine helped hillary clinton's campaign notice this is not a friendly article to donald trump
00:08:24.560 notice they say the the discredited claims that ukraine helped hillary clinton's campaign
00:08:30.140 and another related to the work that hunter biden the son of the presidential candidate joe biden did
00:08:36.160 for ukrainian gas company barisma holdings based on testimony from sondland and other witnesses
00:08:42.000 the final report from the house intelligence committee concluded last week that sondland made this offer of
00:08:49.020 a quid pro quo clear to yermak that day in warsaw following quoting following that meeting
00:08:56.960 ambassador sondland pulled aside president zelensky's advisor mr yermak to explain that the hold on
00:09:04.100 security assistance was conditioned on public announcement of the burisma biden and 2016 election
00:09:10.680 interference investigations quoting the report your mac however according to time magazine
00:09:19.780 disputes this quote gordon and i the ambassador from the u.s were never alone together he said
00:09:28.700 when time magazine asked about the warsaw meeting quote we bumped into each other in the hallway next
00:09:34.720 to the escalator as i was walking out he recalls that several members of the american and ukrainian
00:09:41.060 delegation were also nearby as well as bodyguards and hotel staff though he was not sure whether any
00:09:48.120 of them heard his brief conversation with sondland and i remember everything quoting your mac and i
00:09:55.960 remember everything everything is fine with my memory we talked about how well the meeting went and that's
00:10:04.700 all we talked about your mac says still help me out here um that's kind of a big deal don't you
00:10:13.440 i think so yeah i mean they even say these comments cast doubt on an important moment in the impeachment
00:10:19.000 inquiries reconstruction of events specifically the only known point at which the american official
00:10:24.480 directly tells ukrainians about the link between us aid and the announcement of specific they have
00:10:29.060 they have said the whole time we didn't know this we didn't they didn't say that this was tied
00:10:34.860 together and sondland remember changed his testimony he changed his testimony yeah and that's when he
00:10:42.200 said okay i did tell your mac this and that was the only thing that the impeachment inquiry could hang
00:10:49.640 their hat on as someone who was firsthand doing it it was sondland now your mac says and i think this
00:10:59.260 is really important uh and i remember everything everything is fine with my memory we talked about how
00:11:08.860 well the meeting went and that's all we talked about end quote in a statement sondland's lawyer said
00:11:16.140 ambassador sondland stands by his prior testimony i'm not sure which one that was and will not comment
00:11:22.100 further um in his initial testimony to the impeachment inquiry in october sondland said he
00:11:27.620 never knew the u.s aid and ukraine was conditional on the investigations that trump wanted but the
00:11:33.240 following month sondland amended his testimony with a sworn statement in which he described the
00:11:38.540 conversation with your mac in warsaw oh now i recall speaking individually with mr your mac where i said
00:11:44.860 the resumption of aid would likely not occur uh and we had been discussing that for many weeks so was
00:11:50.700 he lying the first time or was he lying the second time and this is not a rhetorical question now this
00:11:59.480 is perjury because the guy who he said he talked to says there's nothing wrong with my memory i never had
00:12:09.920 that conversation well one of them's lying i mean it could also be the guy from ukraine
00:12:13.780 undoubtedly and and you know it would there's an argument and they make it in this in this story
00:12:19.420 that it makes sense um you know they're still dependent on the u.s for for funding i mean the
00:12:26.140 same thing that would have made them do this in the first place which was to please trump and to get the
00:12:30.660 funding would could make them do this this time so let me however we don't have evidence of that and
00:12:34.580 it certainly brings up a massive question and you know if let's just say you came up with this idea to
00:12:40.940 impeach a president and actually did an investigation and did a legitimate inquiry instead of the crap
00:12:46.020 that they did the last couple of weeks you'd have maybe they'd have this they'd be able to sort this
00:12:49.540 out right instead they're just jumping to it and assuming the worst in every single circumstance
00:12:53.600 to get their political ends so i thought about that i thought okay well so what they're doing is
00:12:57.700 they're relying on aid blah blah blah we're uh we're just a few months away from an election
00:13:03.100 okay uh if you thought that donald trump was going to be impeached and removed from office
00:13:11.700 you would shut your mouth you would not you would not start taking this case apart you just shut your
00:13:19.680 mouth because i need aid so best case scenario is he's making this up because he's seen what the case is
00:13:29.080 and sees this case is going nowhere he's not going anywhere and beyond that the democrats are so weak
00:13:38.360 they will not win in the next election otherwise you just shut your mouth until someone asks you
00:13:45.440 in an authoritarian position yeah why do an interview with time magazine about why do it yeah why do it
00:13:51.380 you are undermining the democrats yeah i mean and you just don't do that unless you know who's going to win
00:14:00.100 or you think you know yeah i mean we did see this with some of these officials who said things on both
00:14:05.820 sides of it um but i mean this is a this is pretty pretty damning i mean like you how do you go through
00:14:12.360 an impeachment inquiry without knowing this how has this come out after you've issued articles of impeachment
00:14:18.000 think of how pathetic that is this is a guy in the center of the story the one as they point out in
00:14:23.400 time the one point of contact that would actually illustrate that there was a quid pro quo for
00:14:30.080 financial aid and they have they even talked to the guy and they didn't even talk to him and look
00:14:34.900 here's your mac now listen to this when time asked him whether he ever felt there was a connection
00:14:41.180 between u.s military aid and the request for investigations your mac was adamant we never
00:14:48.100 had that feeling he said we had a clear understand uh we had a clear understanding that the aid had been
00:14:56.000 uh has been frozen we honestly said okay that's bad uh what's going on here we were told they were
00:15:02.520 going to figure it out and after a certain amount of time the aid was unfrozen we did not have the
00:15:08.040 feeling that this aid was connected at all to any one specific in uh uh issue i think that's
00:15:15.460 totally reasonable and goes completely with everything except what sondland said as he
00:15:25.920 changed his testimony it goes completely with everything that we hear from everyone including
00:15:32.260 sondland until he updated a month later his own testimony to say oh i uh oh yeah i did do that
00:15:40.140 now they're saying that it's absolutely reasonable that sondland i mean that that your mac would say this
00:15:48.160 uh because of you know politics they need america but you don't do that unless you think they're not
00:15:57.260 going to impeach this president remove him from office and he's not going to lose the next election
00:16:02.660 so if you take the democratic point of view on this it makes no sense unless the president's going to
00:16:11.320 steamroll the democrats you just stay quiet don't make it any worse for yourself you know just play
00:16:19.580 we didn't say anything so if president trump is removed from office or the next president comes in
00:16:25.400 it's a democrat you can say we didn't pick sides on this we could have but we didn't we didn't pick
00:16:31.580 sides they're picking sides this is zelensky this is his number two guy so this is the president of
00:16:38.160 ukraine picking sides that should tell you something that should tell you something now you can accept that
00:16:48.580 as well ukraine's ukrainians are just doing this for their own personal gain because they have pressure
00:16:54.380 points why is it unreasonable to look at sondland and say well he testified the exact opposite way and
00:17:02.220 then he suddenly remembered something what was his pressure point what what happened in that month
00:17:11.340 in between was there anything any calculation or did he just wake up one morning ago oh you know what
00:17:17.560 i completely forgot that doesn't sound reasonable to me

00:19:03.660 i mean i think this guy is did you read the whole article stew yeah i have i do not intend to uh to
00:19:26.120 publicize what i wrote to anyone these are my principles i'm not going to comment on what we
00:19:31.820 wrote to each other whether it was incomplete or something else but i remember very clear what i
00:19:37.180 said what i did whom i wrote to and i can tell you 100 percent and can answer for this that everything
00:19:44.260 i did was right everything i did was within the law and i never crossed the line i never violated
00:19:49.580 legal norms or moral ones i mean you can make the case just to play devil's advocate you can make
00:19:58.580 the case that the same types of pressures that the democrats are accusing uh trump of to try to get
00:20:05.940 you know announcements from public officials in ukraine to say that they're investigating
00:20:11.400 something or saying the right thing that will help trump is happening here and i'm sure that's what
00:20:15.600 the democrats will say right they'll say well this is probably just another example of him just going
00:20:20.160 and saying well you need to announce that that meeting didn't happen you know like it it's not
00:20:24.260 completely implausible especially if you look at it from the democratic view however uh you know
00:20:29.660 throw that away for a second whether it's true or not how do you file articles of impeachment without
00:20:35.500 knowing without at least interviewing the guy without how is time doing this interview and not you
00:20:41.300 if you're doing an impeachment inquiry do you not submit these questions to uh ukrainian authorities
00:20:47.120 so that they are answered because it is not an actual look for truth it's not that's the problem
00:20:53.300 and this is where the and they know it this is where the democrats are really really gonna hurt
00:20:57.900 themselves this is a disaster glenn i mean they are hiding this around christmas because it's pathetic
00:21:02.460 yeah it is pathetic i honestly was thinking about this last night because we talked about this for a
00:21:06.580 while there is absolutely no legal pathway for the second article of impeachment which is which is uh
00:21:14.360 obstruction of congress basically they're saying like they didn't give us the documents they didn't
00:21:18.660 give us the the uh the the aids to testify and we're pissed off about it that is absolutely the
00:21:23.620 right of the executive branch everybody knows that well seven or nine different presidents nine
00:21:27.980 different presidents including obama and bill clinton right they have all fought this and they've all
00:21:32.960 won they've all won this is very well established because they're supposed to be on the same level you
00:21:37.360 can't have one branch overwhelming the other so why would they do that my belief here as i've been
00:21:43.600 thinking about it a little bit is it gives democrats and red states an opportunity to vote yes on that
00:21:52.820 article of impeachment and no on the other one so they can say look we didn't think it was going uh we
00:21:57.620 didn't think we they had enough here we're with you we're looking at this seriously but the other one
00:22:03.200 they absolutely did obstruct congress that's because it's their right to do it they're the executive
00:22:09.960 branch and they're in there on the same level generally speaking so they're able to say yes
00:22:15.780 they did do that one whether it's impeachable or not is already settled it's an it's an article of
00:22:20.900 impeachment they already said it was so now you're voting essentially on whether you believe they did
00:22:25.500 it or not and they'll be able to make the case to their people look i would have loved to have a full
00:22:29.420 investigation but they wouldn't go along with it and now they have this kind of mid-ground where
00:22:33.760 they can say to some people yes we voted to impeach but on the other side they can say well look we we
00:22:39.900 were reasonable about this but they just didn't play ball and it gives them sort of a background back
00:22:45.320 back door way to play both sides of their i think you are i think you're you're wishing and hoping like
00:22:52.580 the democrats are you might be thinking exactly the way the democrats are but i don't think that's
00:22:57.400 going to work even with their own people no i'll tell you why next it takes one major disaster to
00:23:04.240 remind us how life is so very fragile how easy the well-oiled machine of society can break down

00:24:42.000 from time magazine and it's nowhere it's nowhere to be found yeah they released it yesterday afternoon
00:24:48.860 it takes apart the central part of their case sure does they're really who was the star witness who
00:24:56.360 was the only guy who even spoke to trump sondland right and and this disputes what he said yeah
00:25:05.800 this takes apart what he said sondland even had to testify that trump never told him that trump in fact
00:25:12.060 said the opposite right never said that it was quid pro quo but then he said he interpreted that
00:25:19.780 as quid pro quo and so he told the ambassador uh i'm sorry the uh the president zelinski's you know
00:25:28.780 number two guy that this was quid pro quo well the number two guy just came out and said he never said
00:25:34.920 that to me we never had that conversation we never felt that it was quid pro quo i think this shows
00:25:40.380 what a sham hearing that was wow what a sham that was i mean when you only present one side of the
00:25:47.460 story what are you going to come up with that's not due process you i mean even with all of that
00:25:54.440 i just saw a quinnipiac poll did you see did you see did you think you read about that in the paper yeah
00:25:59.820 uh a quinnipiac poll just had uh the numbers of of whether or not people support impeachment
00:26:06.980 51 to 45 against impeachment even that's after that's after only hearing one one side
00:26:16.000 and having the media continually you don't like your uh your ass it's kind of choking me yeah i'm
00:26:22.180 getting a little claustrophobic well okay well shut up you jerk hey i got this for you yeah yeah
00:26:28.120 it's a oh nice yeah perfect for christmas just shut up that is the perfect christmas gift
00:26:34.940 by that uh glennbeck.com and uh that's beautiful in our blaze that's beautiful i didn't really mean
00:26:39.860 no i just realized that and so i put my hand back yeah okay um uh yeah when you said hey i got this
00:26:47.240 for you you didn't really mean no i didn't really mean hey i got this for you no of course i didn't
00:26:51.420 of course i didn't it's you uh but i think this proves why we must have a senate trial to expose all
00:26:57.340 of this crap i mean we're already against the impeachment let's just show what a sham they put up
00:27:02.720 and how un-american the democrats are telling you this if they do the impeachment trial properly
00:27:09.620 oh this is the end of the democratic party as we know it i think i agree with that now i think i
00:27:16.880 agree especially after the your mac thing i mean you you will you will see that it is nothing but
00:27:22.380 a twisted uh web of lies and manipulation it will it is the death knell it everyone said
00:27:31.440 i just want donald trump just to burn the whole damn thing down i'm telling you right now that if
00:27:38.140 they do this right in the senate and they really dig in it is going to burn everything down it will
00:27:48.000 i believe that and it will free us of so much it will free us of so much and donald trump will be
00:27:54.960 the president that will be remembered for all time like him hate him he will be known for all time for
00:28:03.440 exposing more corruption than ever before and i think it's worth noting that this is coming from
00:28:10.960 three people who are not we're just not total trump of fights you know we're not on the trump bandwagon
00:28:17.300 we're not i mean we i have stepped back and watched what he's done and much of it has surprised us in a
00:28:23.020 really good way right but we were not all trump all the time and we were we don't we disagree with him
00:28:29.360 on certain trump before he was elected and then we said at that time we'll watch and judge he's our
00:28:35.780 president now we'll watch and judge for what he does i hate a lot of the stuff that that president
00:28:41.860 trump does personally personally i don't like it but what he's doing in office some of it i don't like
00:28:50.640 with a trade balance but i will tell you this i think he's going to win with china and somebody
00:28:57.800 needed to play a different game with china hopefully hopefully that's true uh but it could turn around
00:29:04.560 and bite us in the ass and it could be the reason why he loses the next election just as easily as
00:29:11.900 him winning you know if it torches the economy he's in trouble but i will tell you if he exposes
00:29:20.460 this i read a story last night which is exact opposite of what the story was i read yesterday
00:29:24.860 they're saying now that um turtle head uh mcconnell mcconnell uh that he he wants to stick his head
00:29:34.360 back in the shell and he just wants to do this over christmas do that and trump now is the one
00:29:40.820 who is saying apparently according to this article uh that trump is the one saying we have to go we
00:29:47.740 have to move forward i want all of this opened up legitimately both the sides of the story have come
00:29:52.840 out in the last 24 hours what yesterday they were saying that trump wanted to get it through on
00:29:58.180 christmas and get it over with and the senate was like no we're doing this in january we've cleared
00:30:01.860 the entire legislative counter calendar that's when we're doing it today the story is out that the
00:30:06.240 it's the senate that wants to happen over christmas and donald trump who wants to stretch it out longer
00:30:11.200 because he wants the show of it all don't know don't care it's just unbelievable don't know don't
00:30:14.920 care you should stretch it out everyone should tweet if you agree with us you should tweet if you
00:30:20.720 if you don't agree with us may remind you you can get this just shut up t-shirt now at
00:30:26.660 planbeck.com purpose for christmas um look this is this is the ultimate nutcracker donald trump
00:30:35.520 has them exactly where he's got him over a barrel he's got him this is the first time i've ever said
00:30:42.840 uh that oh my gosh you have them exactly where you want them you can crush them right now and they
00:30:53.180 may be knowing they may not they may understand that now too i i think they're starting to get a
00:30:58.180 little nervous about their case rudy thinks so i mean look at what rudy said rudy said he's going to
00:31:03.260 come out with some stuff and i don't know if he's actually coming out with stuff and you know i don't
00:31:07.740 look to rudy giuliani as the you know end all be all but if they have more stuff if they just have
00:31:13.020 anything like what your mac was saying that's huge yeah and that's almost enough i mean that might be
00:31:20.180 enough i and it just shows uh that it was an un-american hearing that they held uh oh it was
00:31:29.100 un-american it was a soviet which it really was a soviet style yeah witch hunt yeah it was it's bad
00:31:35.600 to not call anybody from the other side of this thing that should show americans okay they're not
00:31:40.840 after the truth i think that shows i mean look it was 45 percent you know there there are more
00:31:45.980 independents and democrats than just 45 percent that shows some independent and democrats saying
00:31:50.760 a lot this was bad because it was flipped just a couple of weeks ago so they're doing worse now
00:31:56.600 after the two hearings than they were before it's amazing it just it's it's really something and
00:32:02.160 and the senate trial i would be the final uh nail in the coffin i think
00:32:07.180 i i i i'm telling you first of all let me ask you this they say that that donald trump uh was using
00:32:18.740 the power of his office his office this is the first charge using the power of his office for personal
00:32:24.600 gain and that personal gain they claim was to uh destroy joe biden uh in the next uh election
00:32:35.860 first of all does anyone think that donald trump actually believes he needs any help destroying
00:32:44.320 anyone i think he's i think he is and i say this with you know i would say this to his face
00:32:51.720 he thinks he could beat jesus okay if jesus was running he doesn't have a problem with thinking that he is
00:33:01.360 really good and he has done many miracles jesus the last thing he did was raise himself from the
00:33:09.760 dead it's been a while pretty sure he's been busy since then i feel like yeah yeah okay so
00:33:15.800 so anyway he thinks highly of himself on the debate stage so i don't think he thinks he really needs
00:33:24.780 all that help let me ask you this but let's just say he does that that was his motivation he also
00:33:32.000 talked about something else and he talked about it for uh probably 15 sentences before that one sentence
00:33:41.080 about joe biden okay and in that 15 sentences what he was going for was hey we've heard that you know
00:33:48.380 they were the dnc was was rigging the last election blah blah blah he mentions crowd strike which is
00:33:56.300 discredited that one is discredited but he talks about a lot of other things in there let's just
00:34:03.760 talk about donald trump and his personal gain alone do you think that him trying to destroy joe biden in
00:34:14.400 the next election is more important to him than exposing the collusion of the democrats to try to
00:34:24.580 hurt him to then claim that he was an illegitimate president and he colluded with russia
00:34:31.040 knowing what i do know about donald trump there's no way uh joe biden and the next election
00:34:40.460 is a little teeny blip on a radar screen in comparison to that gigantic weather storm that
00:34:48.280 is coming his way where all he wants is i'm a legitimate president i didn't collude with russia
00:34:55.940 i didn't fix the election and in fact the people who did fix the election did it in such a way where
00:35:03.340 they set me up to look like it and they've been persecuting me since the day i got into office oh he
00:35:10.040 wants nothing more than to prove that nothing more he would give up the next term i believe if he could
00:35:16.220 just prove that i think so too but he knows he doesn't have to because he believes he'll beat
00:35:20.820 whoever it is right that's in the national interests yes even if it is the thing that drives him
00:35:28.240 that is in the national interest if you had somebody who just hated nazis and hated uh hated adolf hitler
00:35:39.400 personally because he personally insulted me and i'm your president and i'm gonna get that adolf hitler
00:35:49.500 but we were in world war ii i kind of want that guy as as long as he's emotionally stable and not doing
00:35:58.080 crazy things i want that guy because he's personally driven to expose him and knock him off
00:36:06.460 donald trump is personally driven to show i did not have anything to do with russian collusion
00:36:13.520 in fact it was you guys that did it and i want to expose the facts i think these things need to be
00:36:21.280 so clear this isn't the biggest thing you can do right and when impeachment is not a minor thing you
00:36:26.180 throw out there this is a big deal and so it's removing the president of the united states let's look
00:36:30.640 at nixon for example nixon okay we have the whole break-in he's hiding it this is for his political
00:36:36.920 benefit there's no argument that this benefits the united states of america if donald trump today
00:36:41.880 we found out that he was using his presidential power to silence stormy daniels right let's just say
00:36:49.940 that happened that would be something much clearer when it comes to personal benefit right he's pushing
00:36:56.760 down some citizen who might have something bad to say about him this while it might also be
00:37:02.280 presidential presidential powers well that might this might also benefit him in theory right like
00:37:07.800 it may be i mean i don't know to me i think i'd love to run against joe biden but maybe he didn't
00:37:11.400 want to let's just say in theory he didn't want to he thought joe was so tough as he bumbled his way
00:37:16.120 through every sentence if you if that was real it also coincides with massive amounts of national
00:37:23.420 interest and the you know this has been a problem with i think the defense of the white house at
00:37:27.900 times and that they haven't talked about how important it is for us to make sure foreign aid
00:37:33.660 which is one of the least popular things that our federal government does one of the things that the
00:37:38.240 president ran against that that if we're going to do it at all it better be done right and we better
00:37:44.440 not be losing a billion dollars when we're doing it i don't know who's going to be uh heading this
00:37:49.300 thing up but i'm telling you this is the biggest win of any president of any time if they do it right
00:37:57.720 and this is the and and at the same time it is the biggest win against a bloated corrupt government
00:38:06.660 of any time in american history if it's done right if they blow it they have blown an opportunity
00:38:17.620 bigger than barack obama barack obama i've i've said made the biggest passed on the biggest
00:38:26.360 opportunity any president has ever had and that is to be a true uniter and come in and just honestly
00:38:36.940 play to the middle post racial right and say look there's not and he could have healed this country
00:38:43.260 for all time he missed it and went the other way if donald trump misses this it's a bigger lost
00:38:50.200 opportunity than that one thanks pat

00:46:01.020 of the year uh is and all of the glory uh that uh this individual brings now person of the year
00:46:07.580 uh time magazine looked at everyone uh they uh according to the bbc uh uh looked at uh people who made a
00:46:15.820 a real impact in people's lives and and when i ask you that think of this right now who made a real
00:46:21.620 impact in your life who was it globally who changed your life this year who made the impact that you
00:46:29.820 had this if this year had to be summed up it would be summed up with this name who would it be who would
00:46:37.900 it be now i can't honestly think of anybody except jesus and my family that truly impacted my life they
00:46:49.500 truly impacted my life now you go out of that and i think about the business people who i work with
00:46:57.360 stew he's made my life a living hell this year but i've impacted your life but you impacted it like a car
00:47:03.900 like a t-bone car wreck right that would impact your life it would impact right uh so you look at
00:47:09.860 but you have to go to the global scale or at least to the national scale who really impacted your life
00:47:18.680 who's who sums up this year oh i think it's clear i mean i think it's it's clear go ahead um we know
00:47:27.840 what a problem climate change is when it's the massive amen the biggest moral challenge and
00:47:34.200 and scientific challenge of our time and if you don't think so how dare you greta thunberg is our
00:47:42.260 time person of the year as we were all discussing climate change uh and how we're all going to die
00:47:48.260 miserable horrible deaths from either drowning or a fiery death of some sort starvation or too much food
00:47:56.760 not enough co2 too much co2 all those things are in our future in about nine years now according to
00:48:05.500 dame and uh emma thompson uh she said just last weekend as we all know your house pet has a lot of
00:48:13.440 protein in it and you should remember that because soon very soon perhaps we will all be forced to eat
00:48:20.700 our pets that's just how bad things are going to get and this of course is the bbc i mean is this
00:48:30.000 think about how ridiculous this is and i know every year we have to do the same i feel like we do the
00:48:36.880 same segment right there's always some dumb person they've named time person of the year and i don't
00:48:40.440 know why we give any attention to it all that being said greta thunberg okay what has she done
00:48:47.760 she came out and she complained about the climate okay has she solved the climate no what has she
00:48:53.900 done she's alerted people that there's a problem with the climate and she's 16 years old she screamed
00:48:59.440 at all of us and said how bad we are because we've taken this world which by the way i don't know if
00:49:04.380 she noticed this if she grew up in previous generations her life's a hell of a lot better
00:49:09.160 at 16 years old than it was for every previous generation before her she could have she could have
00:49:13.700 grown up in in in just beautiful beautiful peace and comfort in the world war ii generation oh that
00:49:20.020 was a great time right where she was there maybe she could have maybe she could have been rounded up
00:49:25.000 you know by a government official because she was saying controversial things against the government
00:49:30.140 here she is a 16 year old who reads the world the riot act blames us for stealing her future
00:49:39.340 this is a person who we have whose parents and who the media has made her into monster a person
00:49:48.640 who i mean think listen to the statement you have stolen my dreams and my childhood say it like her
00:49:55.160 though say it like her no you're the only one you're the only one that can even get closer yeah i
00:50:01.000 know do we have how dare you how dare you yeah we see we can find it stolen my dreams in my
00:50:08.380 childhood with your empty words think about that though like this person believes that a 0.9 degree
00:50:16.400 temperature rise over 100 years destroyed her childhood we've ripped away any positivity she can
00:50:26.500 think of in her entire life you know who's because of less than one degree celsius do you know who
00:50:32.040 stole her future her parents her parents sold her future her childhood stole her childhood that's
00:50:40.680 when you look at your child when they're 10 years old and they're like oh dad i cannot sleep yeah and
00:50:47.460 you're like guys we're gonna make it it's all right it's good we're gonna make it i know because
00:50:52.260 my kids at one point watched a few of my shows and went oh yeah i gotta not make it and i said to
00:50:58.660 them we're gonna make it it's fine we're going to make it it's gonna be tough come on let's go to
00:51:03.740 auschwitz i'll show you how tough it's gonna get but we're going to make it my kids are my kids are
00:51:10.780 adjusted my kids are fine my kids don't think that i stole their childhood or that anybody stole their
00:51:18.200 childhood you could say well you've really impacted my future because we're not going to have anything
00:51:25.140 think of what she's saying you stole my childhood i mean that's just sad i legitimately sad i mean
00:51:32.180 she's 16 years old you know and she's been so indoctrinated that she believes this craziness to
00:51:39.760 the point of like she's she won't take a flight across the ocean to talk about it she takes a boat
00:51:44.540 in which they have to fly the captain of the boat across the ocean to take her back on the boat which
00:51:50.120 doesn't make any sense it doesn't make any sense she's not making any difference she let me say this
00:51:55.160 clearly has made no difference there is not one thing that is different today that was different
00:52:03.160 that was happening yesterday she has not saved uh any emissions she has not done anything to do this
00:52:09.840 to affect this problem in any measurable way and we give her person of the year because what she's
00:52:16.200 yelling at adults about the thing that she's complaining about and i would like just from
00:52:20.660 the perspective of being a parent like this is the behavior you want to encourage in children
00:52:25.720 like i just just the media you want to encourage you want to encourage kids to be so self-absorbed and
00:52:34.320 so self-important that they are they are looking at all adults at 16 years old and saying get out of my
00:52:42.560 way yeah and i got news for you everybody on the left who's saying no she wants something
00:52:47.020 important for the climate she's doing a great thing this is a wonderful thing first of all
00:52:50.840 encouraging activism as an end is not a positive this is something that's happened over the past i
00:52:58.000 would say 20 to 30 years where we started rocking the vote and and oh look look at what kids are doing
00:53:03.440 they're volunteering for x cause or y cause that's not an end if they're if they're volunteering for
00:53:08.180 something beneficial and great well that that might be an end but we've come to this point where we're
00:53:12.600 just praising activism as a thing and the thing she's suggesting in the speech where everyone
00:53:18.560 remembers how how dare you uh everyone remembers that where she's yelling at the adults that was
00:53:23.520 that's all there was that everything else was common sense what she's suggesting are things that
00:53:27.220 are far more extreme than bernie sanders or elizabeth warren she when you know everyone claps for her in
00:53:33.800 the speech they're yelling at them she is yelling at the people in the room the leaders who haven't
00:53:39.800 been able to get these things done she's talking about no think of how dramatic this is glenn this is
00:53:44.960 not a normal proposal that like a left-leaning candidate would bring up she's talking about in 10
00:53:51.880 years a 50 percent a 50 reduction in emissions 50 in 10 years that's like aoc's fever dream and you know
00:54:03.280 what she says about the 50 reduction in 10 years how dare you she says how dare you how dare you
00:54:08.280 she says uh she says like her looking like her the popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10
00:54:14.860 years only gives us a 50 chance of staying below 1.5 degrees celsius and the risk of getting setting
00:54:21.660 off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control 50 may be acceptable to you but those
00:54:28.060 numbers do not include tipping points most feedback loops additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution
00:54:34.140 all the aspects of equity and climate justice they also rely on my generation sucking hundreds of
00:54:41.740 billions of billions of billions of dollars and tons of your co2 out of the air with technologies
00:54:46.220 that barely exist how dare you how dare you thank you so but she's saying that thing that i just was
00:54:53.660 talking about as aoc's fever dream is so unacceptable that's what motivated her to say how dare you
00:55:00.860 she's not talking about this is a person who has lost all ability to keep things in perspective
00:55:08.700 very common among 16 year olds and she's being rewarded for it in dramatic fashion is becoming
00:55:15.260 one of the most unpopular a popular people and you know again i think these awards should go to people
00:55:19.980 who have accomplished things she has talked about the climate talking about the climate does nothing
00:55:27.020 for the climate how dare you this is this is one of those things where you're getting uh it is today
00:55:35.820 you if you've just made a video that went viral you haven't created anything right you know you
00:55:46.300 haven't really created anything no and you're just becoming famous because you're the person that was seen
00:55:53.900 on this saying that the fame is not a goal getting the word out is not a goal if it was a goal of getting
00:56:03.900 the word out i'd be one happy man all the time because i've gotten the word out on a lot of things
00:56:09.420 on a lot of things that's not that doesn't that's not the goal the goal is to make a case to where it
00:56:16.140 changes people's vision and hearts and quite honestly i think she's done the opposite anybody who thought well
00:56:25.180 you know i want to be reason you listen to her and you realize and you let you're like i don't want my
00:56:29.980 child to be like that i've got to be a better parent and make sure that i keep my kids from
00:56:35.180 from seeing that anger this is everything that they said the tea party was doing to their kids

00:58:40.780 the ig report hearing uh or not or if they'd be like well you know we've had enough hearings
00:58:47.660 darn it we don't need any more of those crazy hearings hmm yeah i did now they want that that's
00:58:52.780 a little bit old news we don't need to hear about that that didn't come out the way and by the way
00:58:56.380 they don't the the right uh certainly the white house isn't exactly thrilled with the ig report
00:59:01.740 no it does help them i think and and really show their case i think it i think it does more than help
00:59:07.180 them i think what what the white house is upset about is you you didn't tell us why they were
00:59:13.420 doing these things right you you told us what they did and you called these 19 irregularities uh or
00:59:21.820 what do they call them uh inaccuracies errors errors and inaccuracies those weren't errors inaccuracies
00:59:28.940 you don't uh you don't as an agent file a uh fisa report and and have an agent change a line in an
00:59:38.780 email to make it the exact opposite so you can present that to the fisa court and say look in his
00:59:45.660 own email he said this that's not a mistake that's not a mistake that's not you know that's not an error
00:59:51.580 that's forgery that's like the story we did a few years ago where it was i think it was like a prince
00:59:55.740 or something in one of these uh middle eastern countries who was accused of rape and he said he
01:00:00.220 tripped and fell it fell into the woman remember this excuse yeah like that let's be honest about
01:00:06.380 there that's just not an error you don't by mistake rape someone not a thing right right
01:00:12.380 this is one of those a similar situation you're deleting something and adding in uh something to
01:00:17.660 make it the meaning of the email the exact opposite of the actual meaning of the email that's
01:00:22.460 not a mistake it's not an error that's an intentional deception and that is what we saw
01:00:28.220 through through a lot of this and i think that's the most important takeaway from what the media
01:00:32.700 is saying as opposed to what is actually in that report this is you know when you're tasked with
01:00:38.460 something very um specific uh and you're writing a report as an inspector general you're you're you're
01:00:46.540 going to think about this differently than the average person when the only way you say that
01:00:51.260 there's political bias in the report is if you have a text or an interview or evidence or testimony
01:00:57.420 of people saying yes this was done hey let's go get donald trump he can't win we've got to we've got
01:01:03.180 i don't care what it takes we've got to overturn this election you need something like that as an
01:01:07.340 inspector general to be able to claim that there was political bias because you're reading into the
01:01:11.740 minds of the people who made these errors there's no actual explanation for the reason why they made so
01:01:18.380 many errors all in the same direction to this one person who they didn't seem to like all that much
01:01:24.380 now you can pretty easily as a human being put the pieces together here and say there probably was
01:01:31.340 some political bias okay but that's not what the inspector general is going to say because he's
01:01:36.060 looking at it in a legalistic sense not in a normal human this is okay i understand what happened
01:01:40.700 here that's not the way they're looking at it so there probably was political bias it's just not
01:01:44.780 proven political bias i mean well you sure don't get that from um from anybody's report on donald trump
01:01:50.700 but but that's a it's a different story neither here nor there listen here's what apparently mcconnell
01:01:57.260 said yesterday to donald trump that we can't take the senate hearing and make it into a circus don't
01:02:04.780 make the senate into a circus mr trump do not listen to that i don't care if you promise people sword
01:02:12.780 swallowers during it make it into a circus make sure the proceeding is buttoned up and make sure
01:02:21.820 that it is absolutely rock solid and constitutional fair constitute all of it but make sure that you are
01:02:32.060 doing what you do best and that is getting eyeballs on it just go sit in the senate for the hearings every
01:02:39.180 day just sit there every day they will cover it every day and everyone in america will watch it to see if
01:02:45.180 you're gonna go this is crazy and here's a man who swallows fire okay do it do it they have destroyed you
01:02:58.140 and and and and everyone says that no one will watch it really president trump because it seems to me
01:03:09.980 that you're the only guy i've seen in history that can draw the crowds that you draw and still after
01:03:17.740 your president you're still drawing those crowds four years later you know how to draw a crowd
01:03:26.300 let them open this up do exactly what i read a story where you were saying you know that uh mcconnell
01:03:35.180 wants to shut this thing down open it all up you will go down as one of the greatest presidents in
01:03:41.980 history if you expose this you will destroy the democratic party and if it means that you have to text
01:03:50.060 things from your seat and everybody is watching just to see what you're gonna do is he gonna throw a
01:03:56.140 peanut is he gonna throw a bag of peanuts at somebody down below in the senate bring all the peanuts you can
01:04:03.180 find let them do an honest and just trial but open up and turn over every nasty rock and people will watch

01:09:17.820 here on how dare you my back program
01:09:22.860 ah so the most googled things in america number one what do you think we googled the most
01:09:32.140 most googled in the entire country in the entire country for the year
01:09:36.700 well it's obviously a kardashian which one uh probably nope nope i was gonna break it down in
01:09:41.500 that way now uh i don't know what is it disney plus okay yeah a lot of hype uh amazing though
01:09:48.460 disney is going through i mean they are the first company to ever have a 10 billion dollar year on
01:09:56.700 just 10 movies each right now it's so six movies have already gone to a billion dollars right does
01:10:03.020 not include frozen 2 which is if it hasn't already hit a billion dollars and it does not include star
01:10:07.900 wars which obviously is going to hit a billion so they're going to be over 10 billion for the year
01:10:12.460 and that's just in their movies and and we should point out the only movie i think in the top
01:10:16.620 nine movies of the year that isn't theirs is spider-man and that one is kind of theirs it's
01:10:22.860 partially theirs uh they own there's like a you know an agreement with sony who actually distributed
01:10:28.220 it but like they actually have part of that piece too i mean they are completely dominating
01:10:33.820 you know they're completely remaking ebcot completely remaking it really yeah completely
01:10:39.980 remaking it it's going to be in a you know a theme park with rides and everything else and they're
01:10:46.140 they're just blowing it up and as a disney nerd how do you feel about that because oh i'm thrilled
01:10:50.380 with it it's been yesterdayville for a long time because it tomorrowland was like 1985 yeah yeah
01:10:55.260 and ebcot i mean walt disney said you know it should always be in a in an ever state of change and
01:11:02.380 always ahead and always ahead and they have missed that mark you know back when they opened the doors
01:11:07.820 in 1980 maybe they'll get it uh maybe they'll get it now but anyway so disney plus was the number one
01:11:13.740 number 10 on what is what is number 10 is what is a mandalorian wow number and that just happened
01:11:22.940 star wars right disney plus right so think about all the things we asked what is over the year in the
01:11:29.740 last month there's been enough people saying what is a mandalorian that it has put it on its top 10
01:11:34.940 and the number one baby search is baby yoda number one holy crap yeah and they are just they are
01:11:43.340 dominating dominating everything i mean there was a time not not all that long ago that disney really
01:11:48.540 kind of seemed like they were on the down swing and you know it didn't seem like i remember when i was 19
01:11:54.620 years old and i couldn't afford it but i remember reading about uh disney being on the outs and michael
01:12:01.740 eisner was rumored to be coming in and their stock was just tanking and uh i wanted to buy one share
01:12:10.780 of stock and it was like ten dollars or something like that i just wanted to buy one share because
01:12:14.780 that's all i could afford you're a cool kid huh oh i was so popular yeah i thought so i was so popular
01:12:20.540 i'm 19 and i want i'm dreaming about buying one share of disney stock could there be a bigger loser
01:12:26.700 sentence than that especially in the days when it was a loser it wasn't like it was like apple you
01:12:33.180 know it's gonna no i'm telling you it's gonna take off this was everyone was saying it's over and i'm
01:12:37.100 like no way what would it be worth though have you done the calculations no i haven't let me do it
01:12:41.260 no no i don't want to be good it'll be good i think it'll be good for the show no it will be very
01:12:44.620 it'll be very bad it'll just be another long list it's gonna be fine all right number two on the
01:12:52.380 list of what we googled cameron boyce that's the the um the guy who died what july 6th uh then
01:13:01.820 nipsey hustle that was another one that was was shot and killed then hurricane dorian then antonio
01:13:08.700 brown the nfl player with the rape accusation then luke perry who died i mean we are just
01:13:14.460 we're morbid when we're looking for news we're looking for who died today who died and why should
01:13:21.100 i care uh then it was avengers end game game of thrones the new iphone 11 and then jussie
01:13:30.220 smollett was number 10 of the big things that we googled uh i think it's interesting also uh they
01:13:39.260 looked at different things uh like uh trips the number one thing that people were looking into
01:13:48.780 uh on on going places is uh shoot what did i just say i can't find this this particular page yeah the
01:13:56.860 maldives which no need to google no need to google the maldives my wife has wanted to go to the maldives
01:14:05.420 forever and uh she just likes the sun and everything else i don't even know where the
01:14:10.780 maldives are and so i googled them where are the maldives what are the maldives and it's beautiful
01:14:17.180 and then i googled how much is a ticket to go there for airlines it takes you 36 from dallas it takes you
01:14:25.900 36 hours to fly there no place the moon is not worth 36 hours in a plane 36 hours and then you got
01:14:39.180 to come back i mean if you're moving there you're like oh well i'm moving to the maldives and so
01:14:43.180 okay maybe you spend 36 hours but to visit for a week 36 hours and because i was looking around christmas
01:14:52.700 time no this is a few months ago the the coach ticket was i think 24 000 and first class was like
01:15:03.500 56 000 i'm like who's going there who's taking 36 hours and 24 grand to sit next to the toilet
01:15:15.100 and go into the maldives i'm so relaxed i'd be freaked out the whole time i've got to
01:15:19.500 spend 36 hours next to the toilet and coach in just a few days i'd be too stressed out
01:15:27.740 so don't google it you don't want to go that seems like a really long time unless you're going for
01:15:32.380 like what a month i mean what's the appropriate seriously though but what would it feel like
01:15:37.260 you're going coach no leg room 36 hours between two big fat people i'm one of them
01:15:46.300 and you're sitting there and you're like for the last few days of the vacation be like i don't
01:15:51.580 want to go back not because it's so beautiful here i don't want to get on that plane again
01:15:55.580 yeah i don't want to go i don't want to go i don't want to go that's where drugs come in you drug
01:15:59.420 yourself heavily for the flight and you maybe you wait you take enough that the it's questionable
01:16:04.780 whether you wake up or not on the other side that's about how much you should take yeah if you
01:16:07.820 could put me down yeah you know freeze me or do whatever you have to do to get me to mars right
01:16:12.860 you know okay i'm okay with that i don't think they're freezing people to get to mars by the way
01:16:16.540 by the way we never talked about the mars thing that came out earlier this week where you can't
01:16:21.020 have if you're if you decide you know hey elon i'm gonna go i know you've been begging but i'm gonna go
01:16:28.540 and i'm gonna live on mars uh if you live on mars and we don't know how much time this will take
01:16:35.500 but at least uh the next generation so if you have children on mars those kids will be martians
01:16:45.660 and they will not be humanoids they will not be i should say it this way they will not be earthlings
01:16:53.660 and so you will be having relations with a another species a something an alien an alien and they say
01:17:04.860 now that the people that will be coming back and forth from mars if you find a hot martian and
01:17:13.660 you're like yeah i mean it's hey what happens on mars stays on mars uh they said you can't do it
01:17:20.940 because it might kill you i don't know a i mean there's so many questions i have a how do they know
01:17:30.060 that b why would they want to know that uh see what is the reason you would have to ask you're
01:17:37.820 sending humans into space for the rest of their life uh can i just i got a question how sex work
01:17:44.220 up there i mean that's one of the obvious questions they know that you're going to die
01:17:49.100 because did you see the movie for the for what was it for your stars or i'm your star or whatever
01:17:54.220 that one sounds great the way that where that kid was born on mars and then he had to come back for
01:17:59.580 some surgery or something remember and he could only stay on that's how they know they saw it in a movie
01:18:06.140 telling you i mean it sounds riveting no it's because you because of of mutations basically yeah
01:18:15.020 there'll be mutations in your dna just so you will be more your you will adapt and so you'll adapt to
01:18:22.220 the gravity you'll adapt to everything so your your body will work differently and so you won't have
01:18:30.220 the strength to be able to live on earth because your your whole system will be made for a different
01:18:38.620 atmosphere and a different uh gravity gravity no i mean i guess uh i guess it's something to be
01:18:45.020 concerned about because we're you know right right around the corner i mean we'll be there any day
01:18:48.700 so we better figure it out we'll be there but by the time 2030 2030 10 years how long does it take
01:18:55.660 to go to mars oh it's not a short journey should we say we'll we'll launch by 2030 people towards mars
01:19:04.620 yeah i don't know elon musk says 2024 yeah and he says it might even be earlier than that think of
01:19:11.820 that he could probably that'll be think of that that would happen then in the the next trump
01:19:19.340 presidency she if he had another term if he has another term going sending a group of people to
01:19:27.500 mars will happen in that term i mean you know musk has also told us tesla was going to be profitable
01:19:35.020 so i mean it's not always reliable did you see his court case how did he get out of that one
01:19:42.860 well it was an off-handed comment on twitter you're gonna get to call the guy a pedo guy who knows
01:19:49.420 you know i mean wow it seems like a i don't think you can't sue everybody for every insult you get on
01:19:54.220 twitter let's let's not be ridiculous here by the way six to eight months to mars and uh you would
01:19:59.260 have made 280 times your money which is nice but also was not going to change your life 280 times
01:20:04.860 with a ten dollar investment is that with the split that's with all the dividends and everything
01:20:09.340 yeah oh that's no big deal well i mean it's a nice it's a nice amount if you put a thousand dollars
01:20:13.580 in it would have been really nice i probably would have put maybe two hundred dollars into it okay well
01:20:17.100 that would have been pretty nice would have been pretty nice uh because a hundred dollars would be
01:20:21.420 what 28 uh 28 thousand shut up shut up so you're talking about shut up 50 000 bucks shut up

01:22:53.660 feinstein uh stepped to the microphone all of a sudden they were there they were there they
01:22:57.500 want to make sure it was covered i think that was msnbc that did that msnbc the cnn just not even airing
01:23:02.540 it at all but they're not even airing it they're currently airing a story about murder victims relatives
01:23:07.260 want to spare killers life which i'm sure is an interesting story um sounds sounds intriguing
01:23:12.380 however it just seemed they do have in a little tiny box with no sound they have uh uh the justice
01:23:18.380 department hearings well that would be yeah that would be that well at least they're covering it
01:23:23.020 they know it's on they know it was on the whole time well not in the commercials but it was on the
01:23:26.460 whole time we had in that little box you can almost see it if you have a magnifying glass near
01:23:30.140 your television and your lip reader and your lip reader right um you could see it maybe they put it
01:23:34.940 it on secondary audio you know where they air the spanish translation sometimes if you listen

01:27:59.260 it was april 4th 1965 when colonel carlisle smitty harris's plane was shot down over vietnam
01:28:17.740 he was captured and sent to a pow camp for eight years two thousand eight hundred seventy one days
01:28:28.140 he was held in one of the most notorious uh prisoner camps of any war the hanoi hilton
01:28:36.620 he endured torture and abuse he was confined in horrible conditions and yet somehow or another he
01:28:45.660 managed to find a way to survive and give others hope smitty is on the phone with us now hi smitty
01:28:52.860 how are you i'm just fine how are you i i am great sir uh i am uh i'm interested for you to lay out the
01:29:01.500 story that is in your new book called tap code um before we get to what the tap code is tell us the
01:29:08.220 conditions i mean what were you how old were you when you first went down in 1965 i was 30
01:29:15.580 36 you were 36 years old and you go down your life you were you were married to your uh wife louise
01:29:23.180 you have children yes you had children we had two daughters and she was to deliver our third child
01:29:31.420 in about a month after i was shot down oh my gosh so you crash how long before you were captured
01:29:38.620 it was almost immediately uh unfortunately when my chute opened at fairly low altitude i was right over
01:29:49.500 a vietnam village and was only able to uh slip the chute slightly to land just outside the village and
01:29:59.820 there were people looking up at the sky and saw me i was uh overcome by
01:30:06.780 people there some with guns most with hose and sticks but i was captured immediately and did you
01:30:13.100 you have any idea what was in store for you at all uh i knew i was going to be in north vietnam
01:30:22.780 for quite a long time i would not have thought eight years but uh at any rate i knew i was going to be
01:30:30.700 confined and uh i knew a little beyond that so when you get there it's now called the hanoi uh hilton
01:30:39.660 uh and it was tell us tell us about what life was like for everybody at the hanoi hilton
01:30:48.700 well we lived there were several parts of the hanoi hilton and uh we were they were separated
01:30:55.980 enough that we did not have good communication between groups and the north vietnamese did not
01:31:02.460 let us communicate even with people in the next cell and they tried to uh use everything including
01:31:11.180 torture to keep us from communicating uh we were mostly held at first in solitary confinement and then as
01:31:23.020 the um more shoot downs were brought in i think due to pressure numbers we had a cellmate sometimes
01:31:34.540 and uh the food was awful uh what it was meager we lost about 20 percent of our normal weight
01:31:46.140 in the first three or four months that we were there uh fed twice a day a watery soup and some rice or
01:31:56.380 sometimes bread and uh what was your how big was the cell the cell was uh about seven feet by seven feet
01:32:08.540 and there were concrete bunks on either side with a narrow aisle in between or sometimes heavy wooden planks
01:32:18.700 or uses the bed and the only thing in the cell besides us were some heavy stocks at the end of the beds
01:32:31.020 uh to hold our ankles and also uh a bucket and that was it and smitty we know what they did to
01:32:41.980 john mccain i mean they pulled his arms out of his sockets and uh i mean the the torture that you guys
01:32:48.300 went through is uh horrendous what did you what were they trying to get out of you well initially they
01:32:58.460 were trying to get military information like the capabilities of our aircraft targets organization
01:33:07.100 anything that would help them from a military viewpoint but after you know a few months they found
01:33:14.300 that they had exhausted their efforts to get that kind of information because we would not cooperate
01:33:23.180 with them at all we'd give them name rank uh service summer and date of birth and uh were punished
01:33:31.020 accordingly but they didn't get any good military information so then they tried to indoctrinate us
01:33:39.900 by telling us the history of vietnam and everything that was wrong with the united states and uh then
01:33:47.580 get us to write some statement that was favorable to the north vietnamese and if you were unsuccessful
01:33:54.540 if you were alone and you didn't have anybody to talk to how how is it that that didn't work to some
01:34:00.460 degree on somebody well it did uh at first we had no communication between different parts of the hannah
01:34:12.140 hilton and some of the guys were told that uh everyone else was cooperating why didn't they
01:34:20.780 and uh that you know using one to grab you against the other but as soon as we got communication we
01:34:28.220 cleared that all up and uh started working as a military unit and so you as individuals and that
01:34:35.980 communication was tap code and you created this and and and what was it how did it work well really
01:34:46.460 i did not create it i had learned uh before i went over to okinawa to my duty station there and uh when i was
01:34:57.420 shot down it was not any of the uh services so i had guess i was the only pow that knew the tap code and
01:35:08.620 is it like s is it like a morris code well no it was a five by five matrix of the alphabet we left out
01:35:17.260 the letter k and the first line was abcde the second fghij and the third lmnop and so on so you would tap
01:35:33.820 the first column was aflqv and you would tap one of those letters or just by tapping identify it and then
01:35:45.740 pause and then over to the letter that you wanted to send for instance uh an l would be a
01:35:56.700 uh tap tap tap tap
01:36:01.260 uh i'm yeah no that's all right i i think i get it i think i get it so um did you you began to
01:36:10.220 communicate with each other and how did that change things well it was uh more for one uh misery loves
01:36:24.140 company but the biggest thing was that we were able to communicate what was going on uh what they
01:36:32.780 were trying to do to each of us and we could find ways to try to counter what they were uh attempting to
01:36:42.460 learn from us and we all being military it's with any communication group no matter how small or
01:36:52.220 or how large that group might be we would find out who was the senior ranking uh pow in that group
01:37:00.140 uh and uh he would make decisions for us we felt comfortable with that because for instance if we
01:37:09.980 would discuss what was the best answer to some of their uh questions and uh there would be several
01:37:17.180 approaches but he would say we are going to respond this way and everybody's going to be consistent
01:37:25.180 uh and uh it really helped us uh uh avoid giving the uh north at least any advantage whatsoever do you
01:37:38.140 do you know who hugh stafford is commander of the u.s navy hugh stafford you remember him i know the name
01:37:45.500 okay um yeah i was given by his family all of his records uh from his time uh there and it was
01:37:54.060 um i've never i've never read anything i've never read anything like it um and part of the things that
01:38:02.060 he said was i at towards the end i'm afraid of rescue and i'm afraid of going home because i'm afraid of how
01:38:10.780 i'll react because i know people had to move on with their lives they don't know if i'm alive or dead
01:38:18.300 and i'm still where i was when i was shot down and went through all of this but everything has changed
01:38:26.220 when i get home i'm sure were you worried about that with with louise and the children and without
01:38:32.380 any communication i was not worried at all louise and i had a i'm going to say a perfect union and we
01:38:41.980 trusted each other and knew each other and i also knew that louise was a very strong person
01:38:48.780 who could take care of our finances our children and make decisions for our family and i knew that
01:38:56.060 when i came home i would walk through the door and it would be as if i walked around the box and did
01:39:04.060 she know the whole time i know she sent a hundred packages over you only got two but so she knew you
01:39:09.740 were there and alive uh yes she found out in august i was shot down in april that i actually was
01:39:19.820 alive and as a pow there uh but she believed from the very beginning
01:39:30.540 even though my squatter mates had seen my airplane go down and
01:39:34.940 a ball of fire and did not see me eject uh smitty my best to louise thank you for
01:39:41.260 sharing uh some of this this uh this book is epic it's the epic survival tale of vietnam pow and the
01:39:48.300 secret code that changed everything and it really goes between his story and louise you really have to
01:39:53.100 hear louise's story as well because she played a big role for all of those whose whose husbands were
01:39:58.860 missing um and these two together are amazing it's called tap code a true story tap code it's available

01:42:16.940 all right welcome to the program it's interesting because reading the ig report and they're doing the
01:42:20.540 hearings on it now you i get the sense that it worked out really well for the trump administration
01:42:24.940 uh it showed oh i think so too you know real problems at the fbi and all various uh entities
01:42:32.620 looking into the president and with the exception of the headline of there was no political bias i mean
01:42:39.500 i'm not even sure that the political bias means all that much because if they screwed with these
01:42:44.300 people's civil rights whether it was complete incompetence or political bias it still happened
01:42:49.740 everybody should be fired that was involved in this that made any of these so-called um errors
01:42:56.140 errors or inaccuracies because there's no way as we talked about this yesterday there's no way that
01:43:02.060 all of these things fell in one direction yeah you're gonna make a mistake you're gonna make it
01:43:07.660 sometimes it benefits one side and sometimes it benefits the other all of them benefit against trump
01:43:13.820 and we should point out that the political bias argument here is actually better than the
01:43:19.180 alternative which is they just do this to everybody they want to get a fisa warrant on
01:43:23.740 i almost would rather have it as they didn't like donald trump and we're going after donald trump
01:43:27.820 if they're doing this against everybody it's even worse yeah the whole system has to be dissolved yeah
01:43:32.780 um but uh bar is uh attorney general bar is not is not happy with the with the report and and he's
01:43:39.820 not done and he's not done uh he was uh interviewed um uh yesterday on nbc and here's what he was
01:43:46.060 talking about when he was talking about the uh evidence uh as it relates to russia listen
01:43:51.980 harshest criticism yet of the fbi's investigation of the trump campaign attorney general bar said the
01:43:57.420 fbi started with the thinnest of suspicions and kept pushing even after the investigation went nowhere
01:44:03.500 calling that a threat to democracy there has to be some basis before we use these very potent powers
01:44:09.020 in our core first amendment activity and here i felt this was very flimsy i think probably from a civil
01:44:17.900 liberty standpoint the greatest danger to our free system is that the incumbent government use the
01:44:26.540 apparatus of the state principally the law enforcement agencies and the intelligence agencies both to
01:44:32.220 spy on political opponents but also to use them in a way that could affect the outcome of the election
01:44:39.740 i mean bar is a real asset to this white house i mean he's he's buttoned up he knows what he's
01:44:45.580 talking about and all the i mean he does a great job here he is talking about uh the investigations
01:44:50.700 on the trump campaign um and you know where was there bias in these investigations listen bar suggested he
01:44:58.540 believes the fbi was biased the core statement in my opinion by uh the ig is that these irregularities
01:45:07.580 these misstatements these omissions were not satisfactorily explained and i think that leaves
01:45:15.580 open the possibility to infer bad faith i think a lot of people will hear what you're saying here
01:45:21.340 and think well that's just bill bar defending trump your concern about the fbi's investigation is
01:45:27.900 what civil libertarian i think our nation was turned on its head for three years i think uh based on a
01:45:35.420 completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by an irresponsible press uh and i think
01:45:44.380 that there were gross abuses uh of uh fisa uh an inexplicable behavior that is intolerable in the uh fbi
01:45:55.580 this is the abuse that has been going on uh with the press and with uh the democrats on this investigation
01:46:03.580 i think uh any more of it and it is it is uh what we faced after fdr fdr had so much power and everyone
01:46:17.100 just kowtowed to him and uh right after he died the the house and the senate passed uh you know a new
01:46:27.580 amendment to the constitution well you don't get that passed quickly but it went through quickly as
01:46:33.420 soon as he died that can never happen again it was such an abuse of power uh i think we're looking at
01:46:39.180 those kinds of things again the abuse of power here with the press and the house and the parties is just
01:46:46.220 obscene this is the glenbeck program all right let me give you a personalized gift uh for christmas

01:48:21.020 this horowitz uh ig report is just absolutely incredible if you want to know how uh corrupt our fbi is
01:48:43.660 um all you have to do is is listen to these hearings and there's more of them tomorrow uh and lindsey
01:48:51.420 graham is currently trying to get uh fbi agents to testify
01:48:58.060 and i think that's important and here's why they knew that the russians were going to try to screw
01:49:04.780 with our elections we all knew that we talked to you about that in 2014 um putin was clear on it many of
01:49:11.500 his advisors were clear on it i mean they were talking about it on on youtube for heaven's sakes
01:49:16.860 uh so we knew that they were going to try to influence the election and we knew that all they
01:49:21.180 wanted was chaos they didn't care really who got in they just wanted chaos so they briefed hillary
01:49:30.460 extensively with you know fbi higher-ups to make sure that hillary and all the campaign knew
01:49:36.620 that russia was going to try to infiltrate and they were also going to try to uh screw with the
01:49:43.180 elections they didn't give that briefing to donald trump nor his team in fact every time that they had
01:49:53.820 information about somebody possibly working for the russians or working with the russians or having
01:49:59.820 contacts or maybe meeting with some unscrupulous people they didn't warn the trump administration
01:50:07.740 hey i don't know if you know this but we have intel this guy might be meeting with so and so
01:50:12.860 they didn't do that in the end they decided to send in an fbi agent to give him a minimal briefing
01:50:21.660 on what russia was doing but when they sent that fbi agent in it wasn't the it wasn't the briefing that
01:50:28.780 hillary got or any of the other candidates might have gotten it wasn't from the same people even
01:50:35.420 instead the fbi decided to send in an fbi agent that was investigating donald trump's campaign
01:50:42.300 and he they sent them in with minimal information to warn the trump administration their main goal was
01:50:48.380 to get information so he could get in and spy on and see how things were working in the trump
01:50:54.380 administration i don't know that that doesn't seem like an inaccuracy that sounds like somebody had an
01:51:01.740 agenda
01:51:06.380 i'm telling you when this stuff all comes out in the end it is bad it was bad enough what we found uh in
01:51:15.020 ukraine this this ig this report is devastating devastating not to the democrats but to the
01:51:26.140 obama administration and the obama doj now we've known this for a lot no we've suspected this for a
01:51:33.980 very long time because of the way the doj was handling things i mean look at the way the doj handled the uh
01:51:40.220 the irs i mean that there was there was clearly abuse of power they never did anything about it okay
01:51:49.580 so we've known the doj was a mess under obama now you have proof now you have proof
01:52:00.620 look at how this is coming apart
01:52:02.540 and you know stu just played a little bit from uh bill barr he is his report and his investigation
01:52:11.820 on this says uh is gonna is gonna come out in springtime this is going to be a bloodbath
01:52:20.540 it's a bloodbath if trump does the right thing and doesn't shy away from this and says we're opening it
01:52:28.700 all up and i'm sure he's hearing both sides of that right like he's he i would would expect it
01:52:36.220 wants to get this out in front of the people and and draw attention to it where surely there's people
01:52:42.700 in the white house saying look get this over with get your campaign thing going get out there do your
01:52:46.940 rallies why make this into i mean this is an accusation still an impeachment even though we think it's bs
01:52:52.860 why do we want to be talking about impeachment for the next half of the year
01:52:56.460 um which i can understand the idea there but i don't think it's the right thing to do here
01:52:59.740 if this president can expose the doj the state department the intel community and and show the
01:53:08.300 corruption that came from the obama administration came from hillary clinton came from george soros
01:53:15.500 uh plus show how corrupt the democrats really are and how they've abused this system knowing these facts
01:53:23.660 and not and and hiding these facts uh he shows who's involved how they perjured themselves how they
01:53:33.820 lied and manipulated how they use the fbi how they denied denied denied and then when you find out all of
01:53:42.300 the facts uh it shows that oh no it looks like that is what happened and they spent three and a half years
01:53:51.180 and god knows how many millions of dollars of our own money and they colluded with the press to do it
01:54:00.620 that is a job that only donald trump can do that is a job that only he is qualified to do he's the
01:54:07.100 only guy with the balls to do it he's the only guy with uh with the ability to do it and everybody's
01:54:15.500 going to try to talk to him and say it doesn't matter nobody will watch he's donald freaking trump
01:54:19.980 they can't help themselves they all they do is watch they will all watch every freaking tweet he
01:54:24.860 puts out there is in this news cycle for three months he should take they say don't make the
01:54:29.660 don't make the senate into a circus he should have them put circus fabric on the ceiling and the walls of
01:54:37.820 this of the senate chamber but make sure that the process is not a circus but everything around it
01:54:45.900 don make it a circus man you're the only one that can bring every eyeball on the planet it will be as
01:54:52.300 big as the moon shot and this specifically is more important if biden is the nominee because all the
01:54:59.260 stuff that goes around yes i know it's bigger than just biden but the fact that this would be
01:55:04.780 investigated in an in a venue where it would be very difficult to be completely ignored
01:55:10.060 where biden and the people around biden and the people around obama because remember the obama
01:55:15.500 white house you know joe biden was the vice president in that white house he's not just
01:55:19.740 a candidate or a guy who has a son who is doing these things he's very closely involved in all of
01:55:24.540 this and while it's not just about him he's a big part of this and he leads you know he still leads in
01:55:29.020 the polls he's still the front runner for the democrats and if he remains the front runner
01:55:35.260 having the american people's eyes on this is even more important and here's the problem if he doesn't
01:55:43.660 do it it will split the american people even more because the american people will they know this isn't
01:55:52.060 right they know something's wrong but if it's all swept under the carpet and it's just moved on and
01:55:58.380 no answers are really given it will make the democrats and anybody who wants to use this system
01:56:05.260 for their own political reasons more emboldened it will happen again next term guaranteed uh if it's
01:56:14.060 donald trump guaranteed if you don't if you don't uh go in and turn on all the lights and remove the
01:56:22.380 fridge and and kill all the cockroaches they're gonna come back even stronger next season it will happen
01:56:31.420 but he'll be able to do that it will clean the doj up it will clean a lot of this stuff up and if you
01:56:39.420 don't do it the american people will go into conspiracy theory because they won't understand
01:56:45.420 why why didn't this happen why didn't he just do this why didn't he just go for it he's our guy
01:56:54.300 and all kinds of conspiracy theories will will prop up on both sides you think this is a real risk i
01:56:59.420 mean i i'm not as concerned about them not doing it i'm concerned that they won't do it right but i
01:57:05.580 don't think they're just going to push this under the carpet i think there's enough people out there
01:57:09.020 that wanted the stuff exposed plus there's that secondary uh institutional concern i think for
01:57:15.340 a lot of the republicans who think you know look we're the senate we have to take this seriously
01:57:21.020 we have to have we have to have a trial we can't just ignore it um i think both of those things
01:57:26.860 working kind of together will at least get you a trial now whether the trial is good or not is a
01:57:31.260 whole other story whether yes so they're gonna do they're gonna do a trial how do you mean you're
01:57:36.860 you're not sure they're gonna do it right no i mean are they gonna go into the things that you
01:57:41.420 know we think are important to expose at any level of of competence right are they you know are we
01:57:47.260 gonna see chalupa um testify are we gonna see hunter biden testify are we going to see um you know
01:57:53.820 these because you know again the central point here the thing that gets donald trump off the hook
01:57:59.260 for all of this is proving that this is in the national interest the only reason you the only
01:58:03.820 way you can prove this is in the national interest is to expose is to expose all of it you have to go
01:58:08.140 down these roads and say look these this corruption was real it was affecting the united states taxpayers
01:58:13.020 in this way and this is why i was going after it and if you can prove that case then people will say
01:58:17.820 well i understand why you'd go after zelinski and say i don't and i understand why they would try to
01:58:22.540 impeach him with with nothing to go on because they needed to shut him up it destroys the democratic
01:58:29.100 party it destroys the credibility it and and restores the credibility of the system because
01:58:37.260 for as much of a sham as it was in the house you know you have the supreme court justice
01:58:44.780 presiding over this so you have john roberts presiding i think the senate there's enough serious
01:58:51.580 people in the senate they're not going to screw around with this now they may not want to go into
01:58:56.460 everything and that's a huge mistake that's why i that that's the thing that president trump needs to
01:59:03.500 understand he's the only guy that can do it he's the only guy that now has all the goods he's the only
01:59:13.820 guy that has the balls to do it and he's the only guy that can make america watch that because
01:59:21.260 he knows how to drum up you know eyeballs mr president you have a once in a lifetime chance
01:59:31.420 to become one of the greatest american presidents of all time you clean this up forget about reagan
01:59:42.060 you begin to move into the land of the truly iconic great presidents uh and you're the only one that can do it
01:59:55.420 let them make a great case and expose all of it all of it and become
02:00:04.380 a new great emancipator somebody that will free us from all of this corruption
02:00:12.620 because it is the corruption is that is it obvious what i'm doing the corruption is that bad
02:00:22.300 you can do it be amazing please do it

02:01:56.460 someone is putting tiny little
02:02:19.820 someone is putting tiny little cowboy hats on pigeons in las vegas
02:02:24.300 and while you might be asking yourself why one uh local onlooker has only one explanation
02:02:46.220 the rodeo is in town
02:02:48.300 now i have to tell you my first question is not why
02:02:53.820 someone is putting little teeny rodeo hats on pigeons
02:02:59.100 and they're flying around in these rodeo hats and landing at people's feet let me give you this one
02:03:05.260 uh the first time i saw one the first time i saw one i was like oh my gosh that's cute
02:03:13.900 then i was like wait a minute how did they get those hats on there how dare you i would i mean the
02:03:21.580 first thing i would think of is how before why before why you'd say how how and who and then maybe
02:03:30.940 why i think it's quite damaging uh to you and your character uh to not assume that the pigeons did it
02:03:38.060 themselves well why are you not even assuming that they made a fashion choice they may identify a
02:03:43.420 little bit differently than you i mean i have another question i have another question where where
02:03:49.900 where is this happening and and where do you get the little teeny cowboy hats because they're
02:03:55.420 appropriately sized for people they're not full-sized uh cowboy no they're little they're
02:04:01.260 they're pigeon-sized cowboy hats and i mean look at the monitor they're red they're orange they're
02:04:06.860 perfect they're perfect for the heads of pigeons do you think they were specifically designed for
02:04:11.980 pigeons or are they i don't know that's a question there's another question over who yeah now we'll get
02:04:17.260 to who because they're the only ones that can answer these questions but uh it's okay so let me read
02:04:24.060 let me read on hillman the guy who said oh my gosh that's cute and then wait how'd the hats get on
02:04:31.340 there hillman hillman runs the animal advocacy organization whose slogan is a pigeon positive
02:04:40.060 movement wait a minute what their slogan is a pigeon positive movement yeah it's a bad it's a bad
02:04:48.780 slogan it's not a good slogan but it's a pigeon advocacy group okay whose head who's who's head of
02:04:56.540 the organization saw the cowboy hats on the pigeon and his first thing was oh my gosh that's cute
02:05:03.100 okay well he's being positive about pigeons i mean there's a lot to be there's a lot to talk about
02:05:07.980 here he said then i had to ask myself who did that who made them uh is it going to impede their flight
02:05:17.260 or attract predators did they glue the little hats on or tie them on what kind of predators
02:05:24.140 is there a bird that's attracted to cowboy hats is that a are there predators that are well they're
02:05:29.260 very they're red and yellow they're bright colors so anything you know like a cat it'll drive a cat
02:05:35.340 crazy and if the if the camouflage pigeon not wearing a hat is in the same area the cat's going for the
02:05:42.620 the red-headed pigeon
02:05:48.300 this is the glenbeck program
02:05:58.300 you
