Unreleased audio of Joe Biden and Robert Herr's interview was released, and it is terrible. We'll listen to some of that. We also have news about the tax break bill that did not pass today for multiple reasons, including the fact that the spending was too high, there weren't enough cuts, and there were some brave Republicans that refused to vote because that wasn't in the bill. And we have some information about the former FBI Director James Comey and his walk on the beach the other day.
00:00:28.000It really throws egg in the face of all the people that were swearing up and down that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack and has never been better.
00:00:52.000There's also talk about some of the NFA stuff that we've been discussing here on the show wasn't in there, and there were some brave Republicans that refused to vote because of that.
00:01:05.000We've got some information about the former FBI Director James Comey and his walk on the beach the other day, in which he took pictures of what was...
00:01:17.000I think it was 86-47, which was alleged to be a threat.
00:01:23.000Now, whether or not you think it's a threat, I think is largely irrelevant.
00:01:27.000I just like to see the government treating the left the way that they have been treating the right for so long.
00:01:33.000There's also some Secret Service people talking with Ed Krasenstein, and we'll get into that.
00:02:19.000Then head on over to Cast Brew Coffee and buy some coffee.
00:02:22.000There is a boatload of coffee you can get.
00:02:25.000Appalachian Nights is still the most popular.
00:02:28.000We recently had the Coffee Pods, a new addition to Cast Brew.
00:02:33.000So if you like to have the Keurig, because you don't like to mess around with brewing your own coffee, we've got the pods that are available.
00:02:39.000You can get Mr. Bocas, Focus with Mr. Bocas.
00:02:43.000You can get Ian's Caffeine Dream, and those are also available in K-Cups.
00:02:50.000So head on over to Cast Brew Coffee and get your coffee.
00:04:35.000So, if you don't remember, amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected, or why he had classified documents he shouldn't have had.
00:04:49.000According to the audio, Axios obtained from his October 2023 interview with Special Counsel Robert Herr.
00:04:57.000Axios goes on to say the newly released recordings of Biden having trouble recalling such details while occasionally slurring words and muttering shed light on why his White House refused to release the recordings last year as questions mount about his mental acuity.
00:05:11.000We all know why the administration refused to release this stuff.
00:05:16.000It's because Biden was basically dead.
00:05:18.000Everyone in Washington that was a Democrat or in the media was covering for him.
00:05:25.000And you're going to hear exactly how bad it was right now.
00:05:31.000So during this time we were living in Chambers Road and there were documents related to the Penn-Biden Center or the Biden Center or the cancer from your shot.
00:07:51.000And what's happened in the meantime is that as
00:08:01.000Alright, so as you can see or as you can hear, he was an absolute mess and it makes perfect sense as to why the prosecutor said we don't want to release this because Right after the horrible debate...
00:08:43.000In that audio, it feels like what happens when you're really, really overtired and you're trying to say uh enough times until your thoughts actually catch up with what you're trying to say.
00:08:55.000Like if I didn't have an utter disdain for any and all self-serving politicians, I would actually feel bad for him, but I can't really rise to that level.
00:09:07.000That's why they couldn't press charge or something like that.
00:09:09.000Yeah, and that's some of the context behind this.
00:09:13.000This interview was about whether to pursue charges against Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents after leaving the vice presidency, which, by the way, they...
00:09:43.000This was Biden's DOJ prosecuting Donald Trump.
00:09:47.000Well, it was somebody in D.C.'s DOJ, but whether he was actually able to cognitively make that decision is anyone's guess.
00:09:54.000Well, I think the tape shows he wasn't cognitively able to make that decision.
00:09:59.000It just shows if it weren't for double standards, there would be no standards on the left because, one, the vice president has no control over classified documents once they leave office.
00:10:21.000He's having cognitive issues, and it would be difficult to prove to a jury that he could even stand trial, let alone be held accountable for these actions.
00:10:29.000And now we're really seeing why they did not want this tape to come out, because this would have been the end of 2024, as if the debate between President Trump and Biden was not the end of it.
00:10:41.000I love that he said they wanted him to run but the president.
00:10:48.000President Obama didn't want him to run because he thought that Hillary Clinton had a better chance.
00:10:53.000But it's worth noting, or reminding everyone, this was in October 2023.
00:10:59.000So this was a full year before the election, obviously in November 2024, and he was absolutely falling apart back then.
00:11:12.000I assume we're probably mostly in agreement here that he was unfit when he was first elected in 2020.
00:11:20.000But the idea that there was, again, this is something we've talked about and a lot of people are talking about now, that no one in the administration stood up and said, hey, this has to stop.
00:11:31.000That Kamala Harris, as the vice president, didn't say we need to invoke the 25th Amendment.
00:12:14.000And there's no repercussions for any of these people.
00:12:19.000No, it's the same thing that happened with the Hunter Biden laptop, where they kick the can down the road, they don't talk about it, they don't talk about it, and then three years later, when it's no longer politically beneficial for them, suddenly they're like, oh crap, I forgot about that.
00:12:34.000That's the same thing, and if you're expecting the media to have any type of morals, you're in the wrong place.
00:12:41.000Yeah, I was going to say, I think the reason, like...
00:12:44.000Nobody wanted to report on it, none of the people in his inner circle, none of the cabinet members, because they had the ability to be in charge of what the country was doing.
00:12:55.000So they were able to run what they wanted to do, run the schemes they wanted to do, while they had a puppet, some dead man walking.
00:13:02.000Yeah, I think that is actually true, and I think that...
00:13:06.000A part of the reason why that was so appealing is because you get all of the ability to make decisions that the president has with none of the responsibility because you can either lay it on Joe Biden's shoulders or more than likely do what they seem to have done, which is kind of just pass the buck around until people stop asking questions.
00:13:25.000Which is exactly what people talk about.
00:13:28.000The amorphous term of the swamp or the blob.
00:13:31.000That is in a lot of ways what they're talking about, which is unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who are using the essential corpse of a sitting president to make decisions that he clearly wasn't able to make himself.
00:13:48.000Yeah, I mean, you know, it's unfortunate that we didn't have anyone that would, you know, we didn't have anyone in the...
00:13:58.000I mean, you know, what's your take on the whole situation as to why no one kind of stood up and said, hey, look, this is an actual problem.
00:14:06.000Are you in agreement that it was about, you know, just people were afraid of doing it?
00:14:11.000Or do you think they like the power that they had?
00:14:16.000The media knows that they are an arm of the Democrat Party and the unit party in Washington, D.C., the endless wars, endless spending, Well, if you're part of an alphabet soup agency...
00:15:15.000They are scrambling to try to find individuals, and they're just trying to manufacture excitement.
00:15:20.000I've seen it with my own governor, who was a complete joke, who tried to jail churchgoers, including myself, and he doesn't have a shot at the presidency.
00:15:30.000Kamala Harris clearly didn't have a shot at the presidency.
00:15:34.000They're trying to rebound a foul that they just cannot truly rebound from because they're a dying party.
00:15:42.000So what would – why wouldn't Kamala Harris be the one to talk about the 25th Amendment then?
00:15:47.000Just literally it was Nancy Pelosi like, do it and you're done.
00:16:38.000So for her to kind of scoot in there and be like, yo, we have to get rid of this guy, at least during the campaign, that would look like it was a grab for power.
00:16:49.000So if it had happened a year earlier, do you think they would have done that?
00:16:52.000She should have done it a year earlier, yeah.
00:16:54.000If she had any cojones, she would have.
00:16:56.000But they probably told her, like you were saying, Nancy Pelosi, you know, they're like, shut your mouth.
00:17:01.000One of the things that I've heard a lot of people that are in the know talking about Kamala Harris is she has an inability to make hard decisions when it matters.
00:17:15.000Yeah, and I think that's part of why she didn't invoke the 25th Amendment.
00:17:18.000If you wanted to guarantee that Kamala Harris never became the president, give her a bite at the apple of holding the position of the most powerful person on the planet.
00:17:29.000The number one way to guarantee that she never wins an election.
00:17:32.000would be to give the people a free sample of what living under her would look like.
00:17:36.000And there was also – there's discussion about what the fallout would be if in America the first female president ended up being unelected, which was something that had been discussed in a lot of ways.
00:17:50.000So I think that the Republicans still have their own issues going into 2028.
00:17:55.000I don't think they have a natural successor to Donald Trump.
00:17:58.000In a lot of ways, I think that his kind of – Personality holds a lot of the core elements together in the America First movement.
00:18:05.000So if you were to be forced right now to pick who would be successors for both Republicans and Democrats, do you see at least a bad candidate choice for Democrats or somebody sensible for Republicans?
00:18:17.000I think Andy Beshear is going to run for president, and there is a higher than 0% chance that he becomes the nominee.
00:19:38.000He runs off of his dad's coattails because his dad used to be the governor.
00:19:43.000So I think that he would be one of those people where people look at him and think, this guy has that Mr. Rogers persona.
00:19:48.000But then when you actually get into his record and you see his actual personality on stage, the corruption levels that he has, he's embroiled right now over ridiculous— Do you think that a white man has the—the Democrats would choose another white guy?
00:20:06.000They've been choosing white guys from their inception.
00:21:40.000I don't see her as making it to the top crew.
00:21:45.000Does Gavin Newsom feel like the one who has the most...
00:21:47.000Even with all of California's failures, does he kind of fit the bill as what they're going to end up going with?
00:21:54.000In my opinion, he's the smartest and making the smartest moves because he's trying to walk back the crazy woke stuff.
00:22:03.000He's walked back his position on gender reassignment surgery, on children telling the school about their gender and hiding that information from parents.
00:22:15.000He's started that podcast where he's trying to interact with other people.
00:22:20.000So he's the one making the smart moves.
00:22:22.000I don't know that that translates to people voting for him.
00:22:25.000And I don't know if the modern Democrat Party will accept a white guy.
00:22:30.000They're trying to get rid of David Hogg now.
00:22:33.000And a lot of that is because of the fact that he's a white guy.
00:22:36.000The process, they said, was messed up and it had something to do with he's a white guy.
00:22:42.000That's why they don't want him anymore.
00:22:54.000Well then isn't that more of an argument for Gavin Newsom given that he represents more of an establishment viewpoint than he does the progressive ideas of AFC?
00:23:01.000Democrats are in a really tight spot where their base, they have to play to their base to get the nomination and then they have to play to the mainstream and the base is so far left.
00:23:10.000And that's what I was about to say is that the conversations Gavin Newsom is having I think hurts him.
00:23:15.000I think it hurts his probability of winning in the primary because the Democrat Party is so far gone that they're not even capable of having conversations with people to the right of Elizabeth Warren.
00:23:43.000Newsom's new approach as trying to be a moderate, I think, is going to hurt him in the primary.
00:23:48.000In the primary, yeah, I think you're right, and I don't know how any of the Democrats that could win a primary will win a general.
00:23:57.000It just goes the same way of Bernie in 2016, and you get a Hillary Situation 2.0, superdelegates, all that business, and then you get Gavin Newsom in there, who, you know...
00:24:09.000Starts playing to the base of moderates, but then he can point to, like, look at all of my insanely far-left policies in California.
00:24:15.000Don't you love our light rail that never got built?
00:24:18.000I mean, if Gavin Newsom does get the nomination, there is an endless amount of criticism that you can heap on him, whether it be things like unfinished projects like the rail, the homelessness epidemic.
00:24:33.000There is a decade of Gavin Newsom, a decade's worth of Gavin Newsom doing interviews and doing press conferences where he says, the homeless epidemic, we're going to end right now.
00:25:03.000There's all kinds of things that the Republicans can attack Gavin Newsom for that are substantive, never mind if he has to spend the entire time leading up to the primaries being as far left as the most far left is.
00:25:26.0002027, Andy Beshear will not be the governor.
00:25:29.000He is term limited out, and that 2027 election cycle will be the first time that we have had statewide elections where the name Beshear is not on the ballot in over half a century.
00:25:44.000And as I was mentioning about Andy Beshear, he has that Mr. Rogers personality, but yet you actually look at how he governs, he truly is far left.
00:25:55.000But, as well, we have to own a little bit of the blame as well.
00:26:01.000Our elections are the year before presidential elections.
00:26:04.000My side of the aisle, we have a voter turnout problem in off-your-even elections, let alone odd-numbered elections where there's no federal races as well.
00:26:13.000We really need to focus on state and local races as conservatives because that is really where the policies are made.
00:26:22.000Is that an issue amongst Republicans and conservatives in all states?
00:26:25.000Because it seems like unless Trump's on the ballot, they have a turnout problem.
00:26:31.000And a lot of it is the consulting class.
00:26:33.000These people love to take in money and get their commissions off of TV ads.
00:26:38.000But what really wins elections is door knocking.
00:26:41.000My state house campaign, we knocked over 30,000 doors, and I beat a guy who had held some form of elected office since the year I was born.
00:26:54.000And that was because we had a grassroots campaign doing whatever it took to win on principle.
00:27:01.000And that's what we need to do, is we need to have people who are going out, exciting the base, making sure that they are ready to go, because all too often you see people go in, be a firebrand in the primary.
00:27:16.000Well, those people who got you across the finish line in the primary, they're going to see that you're shifting on these positions, and they're not going to be as excited to come out.
00:27:25.000So in 2027, for Kentucky especially, we need someone who is truly going to put Liberty at the front when it comes to the governor's election, because I guarantee you that person will win in the general.
00:27:38.000It seems like that's one of the – like with all the work Scott Pressler has done, like one of the things I pointed out, I said growing up, I never remember – I don't think I ever remember in my life any type of Republican door-knocking campaign before recently.
00:27:51.000I had only ever been visited by people pushing for Democrat candidates and I think you're 100 percent right and like perhaps working on that at the state level with your own early vote action, something like that.
00:28:34.000Republicans tend to want to do things.
00:28:37.000In the private sector, they want to go and start a business for themselves.
00:28:41.000They don't tend to think that life happens to them.
00:28:45.000They feel like they have agency and they can go out and affect the world and do things for themselves and make their lives better.
00:28:52.000People that are Democrats tend to have the opinion that things happen to them, so the best option for them is to get into some kind of activism to change the world, get into some organization, go into politics.
00:29:06.000Something that Democrats have more often.
00:29:08.000That's why you see a lot of activists on the Democrat side.
00:29:11.000Whenever you hear people say, oh, I'm an activist, very rarely are they like some kind of liberty activist or whatever.
00:29:16.000They're generally like an activist for a cause.
00:29:18.000You've got your global warming or your eco people or civil rights or whatever.
00:29:24.000These are all different types of activists that tend to be on the left, and I think it's a lot because of the inclinations of the personalities.
00:29:30.000There's a lot of people out there that think blank slate stuff is true.
00:29:35.000I think that you are born with the kind of psychological makeup of a conservative or the psychological makeup of a progressive or liberal.
00:29:45.000Now, you can have things happen in your life that'll change that, like getting a real job, and then you're like, oh, paying taxes will change your opinion of that kind of stuff fairly quickly.
00:30:39.000In a setback, House Republicans failed Friday to push their big package of tax breaks and spending cuts through the Budget Committee as a handful of conservatives joined all Democrats in a stunning vote against it.
00:30:49.000The hard-right lawmakers are insisting on steeper spending cuts to Medicaid and their Biden-era green energy tax breaks, among other changes, before they will give their support to President Donald Trump's beautiful bill.
00:31:05.000The failed vote, 16 to 21, stalls for now.
00:31:09.000House Speaker Mike Johnson's pushed to have the package approved next week.
00:31:12.000But the Budget Committee plans to reconvene Sunday to try again.
00:31:15.000Lawmakers vowed to negotiate into the weekend as Trump is returning to Washington from the Middle East.
00:31:20.000Something needs to change and you're not going or you're not going to get my support, said Representative Chip Roy from Texas, tallying a whopping 1116 pages.
00:31:30.000The one big, beautiful bill act named with a nod to Trump is teetering at a critical moment.
00:31:34.000Johnson is determined to resolve the problems with his package that he believes will inject a dose of stability into the wavering economy.
00:31:41.000Now, it's my opinion that this bill will do very good things for the economy, right?
00:31:47.000You get tax cuts, but there are a lot of things that they're legitimately critical of, which is, first of all...
00:31:54.000It is an increase in spending, which is something the Democrats or the Republicans have been saying that they're not going to do.
00:31:59.000A lot of them have run on the fact that they're not going to increase spending.
00:32:03.000If you actually do care about the fiscal health of the United States, cuts have to be made.
00:32:10.000Clearly, there should be reforms to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.
00:32:15.000Those are the big mandatory spending things, but I don't think those are actually addressed in this particular bill.
00:32:20.000But there does need to be a slowdown of spending.
00:32:25.000The fact that they are, that some of the Republicans are putting the brakes on because of the Short Act and the Hearing Protection Act, in my opinion, that's the right move.
00:32:36.000These are things that should be no-brainers for Republicans.
00:32:39.000They're low effort and low cost, especially because this will be an omnibus bill.
00:32:44.000This is going to be a gigantic bill that's going to get passed.
00:32:47.000And if your constituents don't like it, you can say, well, look, we had to pass this, and I didn't put that stuff in there.
00:34:11.000And the Ways and Means Committee gutted the provisions of this bill that would have...
00:34:18.000They helped millions of Americans exercise their basic Second Amendment rights by taking suppressors and short-barreled guns off the National Firearms Act.
00:34:27.000Instead, they only got rid of the $200 transfer tax.
00:34:31.000They didn't even get rid of all of the taxes.
00:35:19.000Yeah, so this bill has the chance to do something truly incredible to protect gun owners and to truly unleash the basic right of self-preservation.
00:35:34.000And I completely understand why Andrew Clyde and these reps were voting it down.
00:35:42.000And two, we're not doing enough to protect gun owners.
00:35:45.000And that's something that we campaigned on.
00:35:47.000We campaigned on an absolute adherence to our Constitution, to returning to fiscal sanity.
00:35:52.000And look, the reality is that the appropriators...
00:35:57.000Love going to the Democrats to try to get the votes for it, and I'm glad that people are standing their ground.
00:36:03.000I'm sure this bill is going to pass, and I hope we can get it to a point where we're actually cutting spending, where we're actually protecting the gun owners.
00:36:10.000And by the way, the way that we're getting gun owners into this is that the NFA is primarily a tax bill.
00:36:17.000So thank goodness we found that opportunity to go in and try to gut the NFA, but we need to repeal the whole thing.
00:36:25.000Yeah, so if you are interested in making your voice known about this, you can call Speaker Johnson and you can let him know that you want to see the Short Act and the Hearing Protection Act both in the bill.
00:36:46.000They'll protect existing gun owners because this doesn't do anything.
00:36:50.000These don't do anything to prevent people from getting guns or getting their hands on suppressors.
00:36:55.000Everyone is pretty aware that there are enough guns and there are enough suppressors in the United States that if someone wants to get their hands on them, they can get their hands on them.
00:37:03.000And it is not common to see anyone using a short barrel rifle or a...
00:37:13.000Everyone knows that the vast majority of crimes that are committed, they're committed with handguns because they're the easiest to conceal.
00:37:20.000So it's a good idea to call your reps and make sure that they're pushing for this.
00:37:27.000Or you can call Speaker Johnson's office and be like, hey, this is important to me and to other...
00:37:34.000Other conservative and pro-Second Amendment Americans put that in there so that way we can stop throwing regular Americans that are not breaking the law and stop throwing them in jail and hassling them and making them go through all kinds of onerous BS just to own firearms that are clearly protected under the Second Amendment.
00:38:03.000AP continued to say that with a few votes to spare from his slim majority, the Republicans are trying to pass it over staunch objections of Democrats who slammed the package's big, bad bill, or as Rep.
00:38:14.000Malajaya Paul Washington called it, one big, beautiful betrayal.
00:38:18.000I think that everyone knows that the Democrats are just going to be in lockstep against whatever happens.
00:38:27.000What kind of changes would make the Democrats sign on to it?
00:38:32.000But considering that it was 100% of the Democrats, all of the Democrats voted no, I don't think that there is anything that the Republicans can do.
00:38:40.000Does anyone have a sense of it differently, or is this just all partisanship in your opinion?
00:38:43.000When was the last time there was a spending bill that didn't fall on partisan lines?
00:38:47.000Well, the thing is, I can't answer that off the top of my head, but I do know that Republicans will step out of line.
00:38:54.000You know, clearly, the reason this didn't pass is because, you know, Republicans stepped out of line.
00:39:00.000I think it was like six people they said, or five people they said, decided they weren't going to vote for it.
00:39:06.000So Republicans do have a mind of their own, but I don't know if there's anything the Republicans can do to get Democrats on board, and I'm wondering if you guys can think of it.
00:39:13.000There's no way, yeah, there's no way they can get Democrats on line.
00:39:16.000They are lock, stock, smoke and barrel, all in line, doing what they want to do, or doing what they're told to do, as we know with the...
00:39:23.000Biden's still being president and everyone telling him what the, you know, voting for him and supporting him.
00:39:28.000I also didn't know that it was actually literally called the one big beautiful bill.
00:39:54.000And that's something that really changed the dynamic.
00:39:56.000Up until now, every single spending bill that Mike Johnson has gotten through, he's gotten it through rule suspension and getting Democrats to vote on it.
00:40:06.000He's gotten Democrats to defect over, while the fiscal hawks, the people like myself who pledged to never vote for a budget that increases the total level of spending, he had to get them.
00:40:22.000He has to get the conservatives on board, and that's a good position for us.
00:40:27.000Before today, it was my inclination to believe that Democrats were going to be— I was going to say, is there anything in there for gender studies in Paraguay?
00:40:43.000Because if there is, they might be able to push it through.
00:40:45.000I was assuming that it was going to be a situation where Democrats would say, oh, well, hey, we'll put this garbage in there, we'll put that garbage in there, and that way we can hold our nose and vote for it.
00:40:59.000That's what I was under the impression happened frequently when it came to these types of bills where everybody just shoved the junk in that they wanted to get and everyone else said, well, I don't want to vote for your stuff, but because I'm getting my stuff, I'll go ahead and hold my nose and do it.
00:41:14.000You should sneak term limits in there.
00:42:33.000We need to absolutely make sure that fiscal conservatism is on the ballot in 2026.
00:42:39.000The people who are going to prevail in the next election cycle are going to be the people who put their foot down and say, we are not selling future generations down the river with endless debt.
00:44:28.000Alright, so we're going to move on to this next story here.
00:44:31.000From CNN, former FBI Director James Comey interviewed by the Secret Service.
00:44:38.000CNN reports former FBI director James Comey was interviewed by U.S. Secret Service agents at their Washington, D.C. field office on Friday afternoon, according to law enforcement sources.
00:44:48.000Comey was interviewed by agents investigating a social media post he posted Thursday showing shells in the sand on a beach spelling out 8647, which has become a popular social media code for removing Trump from the presidency.
00:45:01.000Well, that's not what the Secret Service is talking to him about.
00:45:05.000It's not about they're not talking to him just because.
00:45:07.000It was about removing Trump from the presidency.
00:45:24.000If you're the FBI director and you don't know what that means, that meant assassination.
00:45:29.000In explaining why he removed the post, Comey wrote on Instagram that he had posted earlier a picture of some seashells I saw today on a beach, which I assumed were a political message.
00:45:41.000It was expected that Comey will be asked if he intended the message as a threat or to inspire others who might consider an act of violence against Trump the source.
00:45:49.000Look, it's my sense that this was not actually a threat, but...
00:46:02.000I don't feel bad for Comey getting hauled in to talk to the Secret Service or the FBI, first of all.
00:46:09.000And second of all, I do think that it's worth noting Donald Trump had two actual attacks on his life during the campaign.
00:46:18.000There was another person that tried to jump on stage and tried to grab Trump, and I'm not sure exactly what happened to that guy.
00:46:25.000I don't know if that would count as an attack on his life, but it certainly...
00:46:32.000There was the May 29th attack on the White House during the riots.
00:46:37.000And then on top of that, it is essentially considered perfectly normal to threaten the president's life on social media or to make those kind of threats, or has been.
00:46:50.000The realtor guy who did it from his car.
00:46:52.000Who called for violence against the person.
00:46:54.000Oh yeah, the Secret Service picked him up.
00:46:56.000These things are happening regularly and as former head of the FBI, I think at the very least, saying 8647 is incredibly irresponsible and I don't have any problem with him dragging him in.
00:47:33.000And you know, in 2022, there were 74 arrests of citizens for threats against President Biden.
00:47:41.000The number of arrests that have happened over the 8647 post is zero.
00:47:46.000Right now, there's just been questioning by the Secret Service.
00:47:49.000So the left needs to check their hypocrisy here because they're the ones who set the precedent here that social media threats are arrestable now.
00:48:00.000They're the ones who set that precedent.
00:48:03.000Perhaps they shouldn't have spent the last four years weaponizing the government against average Americans.
00:48:08.000That's just a thought there, is that if we're going to be free speech absolutists, they should have been free speech absolutists too.
00:48:14.000Yeah, I mean, look, the FBI was arresting parents for going to PTA meetings or parent-teacher meetings.
00:48:24.000They were arresting people for trying to go to church.
00:48:28.000I'm not sure if the FBI was doing that.
00:48:29.000It was probably local law enforcement.
00:48:32.000But the left has been doing all that it can do to chill people that have unfavorable opinions from expressing those opinions.
00:48:42.000And like I said, I don't have any kind of problem with them applying some pressure to Comey about this.
00:48:51.000I didn't take it as a threat against the president.
00:48:53.000From what I understand, that was a term that was used in prohibition about sending people out the back of the bar when the cops showed up.
00:49:01.000But like you said, turnabout is fair play.
00:49:03.000Am I really going to lose any sleepover?
00:51:09.000And if that were a normal average person just telling them or an activist, I might say, okay, it's not such a big deal.
00:51:15.000But considering it was Ilhan Omar or it was AOC or a member of Congress, an elected member of Congress, that comes with an amount of authority and these people that were listening, they likely were saying, this person is telling me how to avoid being deported, not telling me what my rights are.
00:51:35.000That kind of extra authority that comes with being a congressperson has to be taken into account.
00:51:42.000Now, again, I don't think they should be arrested for it, but I wouldn't have a problem with censure from the Congress, censure from the House.
00:51:52.000Look, man, you're telling these people, hey, this is how you avoid getting picked up by ICE.
00:51:58.000You're helping them avoid getting picked up by ICE.
00:52:01.000I mean, also, just, like, making little shapes in the sand is kind of lame.
00:52:45.000In context, this is a similar story, and it's a little more fun.
00:52:51.000From Libs at TikTok, breaking, Ed Krasenstein says Secret Service showed up at his house after he posted 8647 and plays dumb about what 86 means despite leftists openly boasting about using it to refer to assassinating Trump.
00:53:14.000Because yesterday I made a post that said 8-6-4-7, which means if you look it up, get rid of Trump, as in impeach Donald Trump, as in 25th Amendment Donald Trump, as in vote Trump out of all this.
00:54:45.000And the Secret Service will go to your house and kind of sniff around if you make any kind of comments that they think are questionable.
00:54:54.000It doesn't have to be just, oh, hey, explicitly do this violent thing.
00:55:00.000If you're making remarks that are questionable, you might get a visit from the Secret Service, depending on your level of notoriety, how possibly serious they think you might be.
00:55:10.000Isn't this the same guy who just called for riots if President Trump invokes his pardon power?
00:56:23.000These were DOJ indictments and criminal charges and arrests made over social media posts that were construed to be violent threats against the President of the United States.
00:56:35.000So this idea that the left didn't do this and, oh, if people said this about Joe Biden, nothing happened to them, is nonsensical.
00:57:20.000And I think that when it comes to the professional people like the Krasensteins, I mean, their job is to get on Twitter and hate on Republicans and hate on Trump.
00:57:29.000Well, yeah, he's paid, you know, paid by the parties.
00:57:34.000And I'm not sure which organization, but, you know, it is his professional job.
00:57:58.000But sometimes I'll be like, alright, I can see why you're saying that.
00:58:02.000That's not really what I was thinking.
00:58:04.000So if you're in this space, I do think that it makes sense to be like, hey...
00:58:10.000Again, you kind of have to be held to a bit of a higher standard than your average person.
00:58:15.000I wouldn't say that the Krasensteins need to be held to the standard of James Comey or a congressperson, but because of their experience, because of their income stream, I think that they should at least be held to a higher standard than Rando.
00:58:52.000It's the same thing with Hassan, who allegedly Hassan got...
00:58:58.000He was pulled aside by TSA when he came back from an international trip, but there is rumors that he may have not actually been, or he may have been exaggerating what happened.
00:59:24.000Maybe he did get questioned for a little while.
00:59:25.000I'm not going to say that he didn't, but I'm not actually going to just give it to him first off if other people that have had the same thing to them have had completely different stories.
00:59:34.000Yeah, and Hasan is definitely going to make money off of those.
00:59:39.000This story, it was a story on his stream, I'm sure, and he's complaining about it and he's getting...
01:00:29.000Details are murky and no final agreement has been reached, but the plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyan leadership.
01:00:38.000NBC News reports, the Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to one million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.
01:00:51.000The plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libya's leadership, two people with direct knowledge of the plans and a former U.S. official said.
01:01:00.000In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.
01:01:11.000No final agreement has been reached and Israel has been kept informed of the administration's discussion, the same three sources said.
01:01:18.000The State Department and the National Security Council did not respond to multiple requests for comment before this article was published.
01:01:23.000After publication, a spokesperson told NBC News these reports are untrue, which is, you know, doesn't really mean anything.
01:01:37.000If you can actually get the Palestinians out of Gaza, because I'm of the opinion that the...
01:01:44.000The war so far is not actually a genocide.
01:01:46.000A lot of people have died, and it's bad, and it's perfectly fine to be critical of the way that Israel's carrying out the war, but I don't consider it a genocide.
01:01:54.000If they are actually going to remove everybody from the Gaza Strip, especially if it's permanently, I think that that might actually be closer to the definition of genocide.
01:02:12.000Well, so if you're trying to remove people from a place by killing them and actually getting them out, I think that falls under the definition of genocide.
01:03:17.000That being said, when we can look beyond just nationality, ethnic origin, I'm more interested in what is going on in the United States.
01:03:28.000Right now there's 11 to 15 million illegal immigrants, regardless of where they are from.
01:03:34.000Rather than moving Palestinians to Libya, I'd much rather move 11 to 15 million illegal immigrants back to where they originally came from.
01:03:49.000I have a pretty admittedly utopian idea of foreign policy, meaning the same thing, which is America first, and I don't really care to see us being involved in these types of things.
01:04:03.000And if the idea here is that you're going to displace a whole bunch of people and move them, you know, apparently on the American dime, you know, using U.S. government might to do so.
01:04:13.000I don't care if you can't even get a spending bill through here and you can't even take care of the people here.
01:04:18.000I don't really have the interest in it.
01:04:24.000Like, it's not the most sophisticated take, but most, like, usually when this type of stuff comes up, it's like, how can you expect me to take you seriously when you can't even figure out the things going on here with the people whose lives are affected directly each and every day?
01:04:37.000And this happens, and I bring this up on here all the time.
01:04:39.000It's like, every time there's a natural disaster, the U.S. government puts on a clinic on how to not handle something, whether it's Hawaii, whatever it is.
01:04:48.000Like, they screw up everything and I'm supposed to imagine that my tax dollars, your tax dollars should be going to taking care of this, which has nothing to do with me and nothing to do with the millions of Americans who suffer each and every day.
01:05:02.000But again, like I said, I don't have the most sophisticated view on foreign policy, and I understand there's a lot that goes into it with trade and protectionism and all of these things.
01:06:18.000I do think that they'll find a way to spend the money.
01:06:22.000So, actually talking about the cost, NBC News was saying, such an effort would likely be extremely expensive, and it's not clear how the Trump administration would seek to pay for it.
01:06:33.000In the past, the administration has said Arab nations would help with rebuilding Gaza after the war their ends, but they have been critical of Trump's idea of permanently relocating Palestinians.
01:06:43.000In recent weeks, the Trump administration has also looked at Libya as a place where it could send some immigrants it wants to deport from the U.S. However, plans to send...
01:06:51.000One group of immigrants to Libya were stalled by a federal judge this month.
01:06:54.000I'm not sure sending immigrants in the United States to Libya is a good idea.
01:07:45.000But he's also saying, you know, if you could get to Liberty City from Cuba, then, you know, you'll get a passport or get a green card if you can find a job or if they can train you or something.
01:07:58.000And I do think that sending illegal immigrants from the United States, people that are not, or illegal immigrants that are here in the United States that We shouldn't be here, particularly if they're criminals.
01:09:09.000Well, they're our problem now, but I want them to no longer be our problem.
01:09:15.000So in terms of Gitmo, I was a huge skeptic of Gitmo until I saw what governors were doing to people in 2020, and then I sort of took on the Michael Malice perspective of it, of governors to Gitmo at that point.
01:09:42.000We need to get them out of the United States one way or another.
01:09:46.000And things that we can do, there's things that we can do at the state level.
01:09:51.000There's a federal program called 287G that makes it to where...
01:09:55.000ICE can deputize local and state law enforcement for purposes of immigration enforcement.
01:10:01.000What a force multiplier that could be.
01:10:04.000And something along those lines is something that we can absolutely do in order to help out with that because one of the things that we have is we have a volume issue.
01:10:11.000As I mentioned, the conservative estimate is 11 to 15 million.
01:10:16.000There's estimates that go as high up into the 40 millions.
01:10:19.000So we need to crack down on illegal immigration.
01:10:24.000State and federal partnerships, partnerships with four nations.
01:10:28.000El Salvador is, in my view, doing God's work in helping us with making sure that criminal legal immigrants are deported as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
01:10:38.000Unfortunately, our own courts are not necessarily doing that, especially given the Supreme Court decision today.
01:10:43.000Now, that was a narrow holding where they just said that the notice was insufficient.
01:10:50.000That said, President Trump seems absolutely adamant about getting as many illegal immigrants out as humanly possible.
01:10:57.000Part of that, I think, as well, though, is making sure that we're focused on defending our own borders and not the borders of foreign nations, right?
01:11:04.000We're spending so much money abroad, we're not really focusing on the internal.
01:11:08.000And I can think of an empire that collapsed under similar circumstances.
01:12:10.000Is that because we can't get them, the countries they're from won't take them back?
01:12:14.000If they're criminals, if they've committed violent crimes here in the U.S. and we can't get their country of origin to take them back, we should send them to Guantanamo Bay.
01:12:23.000Because the other country won't take them back?
01:12:25.000Because the other country won't take them back.
01:12:29.000Illegal aliens here, send them back to their own country.
01:12:31.000If the country won't give us hassle, if they're like, yeah, fine, land here, they're not criminals, or whatever, they can go do whatever they want, that's fine with me, that's the best option.
01:12:43.000People that are criminals, people that have committed crimes here, or that are gang members, that their host, their countries of origin don't want them back, then ship them to Gitmo.
01:12:58.000That's, in my opinion, the best option there.
01:13:01.000Get them away from the American people.
01:13:04.000Prevent them from being able to hurt the American people anymore.
01:13:06.000And then, we've talked about this on the show a bunch, but for people that are not criminals, that are just here, that are not filing criminals or whatever, that are just here illegally, that's their crime, that I think we should, you know, ratchet up the pressure on them to make themselves the port.
01:13:22.000Making sure that—start doing ice raids, doing more ice raids to business owners.
01:13:29.000Start making sure that if you own a business—put the word out—if you own a business and you hire illegal aliens, knowingly hire illegal aliens, you're going to lose your business.
01:13:49.000Because right now the situation is it's— It's significantly less expensive to pay illegals to work than it is to pay Americans because you don't have all the taxes that go along with it.
01:14:00.000The illegals will work for cheap because they'll live in a significantly – their living conditions – they'll have significantly lower living conditions than normal Americans, and they'll send half their money back home.
01:14:12.000And that money, when they get back to their – Their country of origin in 10 years after they've been saving or whatever, they'll live like kings.
01:14:19.000You know, the amount of money that you need to send back to Guatemala or whatever to have a really, really nice lifestyle, it's not a lot.
01:14:27.000You can go down there, if you can save up 50 grand over 10 years, you know, you can go down there and live really, really well on that kind of money.
01:14:35.000You can save your, you know, you can make sure that your mom's taking care of, your family's taking care of.
01:14:38.000Your wife and kids, if you're able to let them come over so they take care of the families like that.
01:14:54.000Then the goal being those businesses won't hire illegals.
01:14:59.000Then the illegals will have a harder time finding work.
01:15:02.000More illegals will leave because a lot of the people that are here illegally that are not.
01:15:07.000That are actually free, that are not sex trafficked, they're stuck in all the horrible conditions that come along with the coyotes and illegal immigration and all of that.
01:15:18.000Those people, they're here because they want to work.
01:15:21.000There is substance to the argument that these people are here because they want to make a better life.
01:15:33.000So you need to make it uncomfortable for them to stay.
01:15:36.000And I think that that's the best option that we have is to to make it uncomfortable by applying pressure to the people that are that are actually hiring them.
01:15:44.000And it's another thing is it makes the Democrats happy, too, because when you target the illegal immigrants, the Democrats are like, oh, these poor people that are just here trying to blah, blah, blah.
01:15:53.000If you target business owners, you know, you can get Democrats.
01:16:16.000Well, I mean, that is the standard MO of the left is if you don't meet the standards, they want to punish you.
01:16:24.000So I actually do disagree with the notion that the left is consistent on their opposition to business.
01:16:30.000I think that they are perfectly fine with massive corporations stamping out mom-and-pop shops.
01:16:36.000I think fundamentally their model is designed to centralize economic power, and whether that be all economic power in the state, obviously that's their preference.
01:16:44.000But they'll settle for all economic power in the hands of a select few.
01:17:01.000They're critical of the head, the face of a big business without really maybe being consistent in how they view their policies as affecting big business.
01:17:11.000And I think one of the ways that's turned around the most in the last 10 years is their reliance on big pharma and how they've completely shifted.
01:17:17.000The left used to be the – The side of crunchies and homeopathic remedies and all of that type of stuff.
01:17:23.000Whereas now, that type of belief system is intrinsically right-wing.
01:17:28.000Whereas they love pharmaceuticals and they love the pharmaceutical industry and trust the science and stuff like that.
01:17:35.000But I do agree that there is a certain...
01:17:38.000It happened during COVID when they were talking about everyone's okay with Walmart being open, but your local grocery store, that's just a step too far.
01:18:12.000I mean that shows a certain level of like incongruity with their party because there's also a large sector of leftists and you know far leftists who don't like Jeff Bezos and don't like big business and like if you go and look up anything about them online you know it's going to be them talking about how evil Amazon is and I always thought that was interesting given the fact that you would think that they would love the idea that it's providing jobs for people or the reach they have to now.
01:18:39.000deliver something to you in set period of time almost anywhere in the country.
01:18:44.000And that's probably more a side effect of the schism in the party.
01:18:48.000Sure, and that is one thing to consider.
01:18:53.000That said, I take one's words as one thing and I take their actions as another.
01:18:58.000Bernie Sanders loves speaking out against war, but the only thing he loves more than speaking out against war is he loves to vote to fund it.
01:20:39.000Because North Korea is – Anything after World War II until the fall of the Soviet Union.
01:20:45.000It was always the right that was expressing skepticism.
01:20:48.000And you can see that revival of the old right with Donald Trump talking about ending the endless wars.
01:20:54.000J.D. Vance, Rand Paul, Thomas Massey, Ron Paul.
01:20:58.000There's Pat Buchanan in the 90s teaming up with Murray Rothbard to create a paleo-libertarian, paleo-conservative alliance to ensure that there was a – I mean, we can think about it at the state level as well.
01:21:19.000I'm the primary co-sponsor of a bill bringing our troops home has been given called Defend the Guard that says that National Guardsmen cannot be deployed into foreign combat zones unless Congress declares war.
01:21:30.000It's all Republicans who are introducing that bill.
01:21:32.000And it's almost always Democrats who are the most vocal opponents of it, other than the...
01:21:39.000Instead, I picture Bernie Sanders watching Saving Private Ryan in full metal jacket before he goes to vote.
01:21:47.000So, to bring it back around to the Middle East and to Israel, NBC News is reporting disagreements on Iran-Gaza straining Trump-Netanyahu relationship.
01:21:59.000Now, this should make a lot of the Israel skeptical people quite happy because one of the things that they wanted to see out of Donald Trump was a more of an America first...
01:22:12.000And they've been of the opinion that Donald Trump was very deferential to Israel.
01:22:19.000I don't think that I had that same sense, but, you know, considering the group of people that we're talking about, it's not a surprise that they had that opinion.
01:22:28.000When President Donald Trump took office in January, he and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were closely aligned on how to approach the most pressing issues in their relationship, the war in Gaza and aggression from Iran.
01:22:42.000Trump lifted a hold the Biden administration to put on sending large bombs to Israel.
01:22:46.000He encouraged Israeli military operations to finish the job against Hamas in Gaza.
01:22:51.000He agreed with Netanyahu on confronting Iran and its proxy groups in the region.
01:22:55.000But in recent weeks, the relationship between Trump and Netanyahu has become strained as the two leaders are increasingly at odds over a strategy for tackling these challenges now that Hamas has been significantly degraded and Iran weakened.
01:23:08.000According to two U.S. officials, two Middle Eastern diplomats, and two other people with knowledge of the tensions.
01:23:15.000Where Netanyahu sees an opportunity to finally take out Iran's nuclear facility, Trump sees an opportunity to remove the threat of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon by making a deal.
01:23:24.000As Israel hits Gaza with new military offensive, Trump is pushing for a ceasefire and looking to implement his post-war plan for rebuilding the area into a riviera of the Middle East.
01:23:36.000And after Trump halted the U.S. military campaign against the Iranian-backed Houthi militant group, a shock Netanyahu said Israel would defend itself.
01:23:47.000Do you think that there is daylight between Netanyahu and Donald Trump?
01:23:51.000Is this just Donald Trump believing that the United States' interests don't align perfectly with Israel's interests?
01:23:57.000I am of the opinion that Iran cannot be trusted.
01:24:01.000Now, that doesn't mean that we need to have a war with Iran, but I don't believe that a deal on a nuclear Iran is something that will actually – that Iran will keep its word on.
01:24:36.000It would have inspectors involved that they would have to go in there and verify that they were not enriching uranium past a certain level.
01:28:08.000So are you of the opinion that this is a strained relationship, or do you just think that this is the cost of doing business when you're an international superpower like America is?
01:28:19.000I think Netanyahu sees that they have been successful in their military campaign in Gaza, and they have been successful in weakening Iran, and now Netanyahu believes that he can—he believes that— If it were the United States and Israel striking, he could at least take out Iran's nuclear capabilities for a long time.
01:28:49.000I don't know how long, but I'm thinking in the order of decades.
01:28:53.000And that's more for their own self-preservation than for America's self-preservation, given the location?
01:29:55.000That Trump is making to get more countries, specifically Saudi Arabia, onto the Abraham Accords.
01:30:01.000He probably would try to get Syria, which is kind of crazy considering just a month ago the president of Syria had a $10 million bounty on his head from the United States and then Trump just met with him.
01:31:37.000He's shown that he will do it if necessary.
01:31:40.000But I think that his preference is deals.
01:31:44.000And I think that he also believes that the United States being such a global powerhouse that they can actually get deals that will produce positive results.
01:32:09.000I think deal-making is always preferable to endless wars.
01:32:13.000I'm part of the generation that would have to fight the wars that Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham would have absolutely wanted to fight.
01:32:20.000And frankly, Americans sign up for the military to fight for their country, not to fight for the interests of foreign nations and major corporations.
01:32:35.000And Americans deserve far better than that.
01:32:37.000And we see this rise in young Americans fighting for a more sensible foreign policy.
01:32:43.000And that's a large reason why President Trump did so well among young folks, among Gen Z. is because he just realized that we essentially had a foreign policy that amounted to nothing more than a death cult.
01:32:59.000Endless wars will end one way or another, whether that be through diplomacy or through nuclear annihilation.
01:33:12.000I served when we had no wars and I was, God bless America and God bless no one was fighting then.
01:33:17.000And that's why I think our recruitment numbers, like if we're not, if you're gonna join the military for just go in some desert and die, Your numbers aren't going to be big.
01:33:26.000You're not going to get people coming in.
01:33:27.000But if you're doing it just in case, if something happens, you're ready to defend your land, then we'll get more recruitment going on.
01:33:33.000I guess I see it as a harder discussion to have with most Americans.
01:33:37.000Like I said, when I say that my view on foreign policy is utopian, it's the idea that I like the idea of putting America first and then the rest of it let the chips fall where they may.
01:33:47.000But I understand the world is a lot more complicated than that.
01:33:50.000And I understand that whatever intervention or interactions going on here is to the benefit of multiple allies to the United States.
01:33:59.000I think of it as America struggling so much here that so much time and energy is spent on these discussions that it doesn't seem like anything ever changes.
01:34:08.000As much as Trump has done good in a lot of these things, it's not like it's ever going to go away because there will always be foreign interests that are going to look to America to intervene in some fashion.
01:34:22.000So I guess it's just one of those things that I have a hard time seeing it out on something like this.
01:34:28.000Trump's approach to foreign policy through deal-making rather than bombing is probably the best path forward, but it's hard to imagine it'll stay that way because I don't know if we'll ever see that again from...
01:34:41.000I think it's going to get even more toward diplomacy and non-interventionism.
01:34:46.000I guess I'm saying like if the left wins again.
01:34:49.000Like I don't see anyone pushing anti-war on the other side and given how often the presidency switches back and forth and the president's role in foreign policy, it just doesn't seem like you're ever going to have enough time between terms where you're going to see great change made.
01:35:29.000And I can just think about just a few weeks ago, I was in Washington, D.C. with a bunch of other young legislators with an organization called RunGenZ.
01:35:36.000And hearing the skepticism of the foreign policy consensus, seeing that there is a breakaway.
01:35:43.000We're at a turning point where it's no longer cool to be a neocon.
01:35:49.000Yeah, dude, kids are done dying overseas for no reason.
01:36:52.000Mayor Celias Phipps Jr. from the Sheriff's Department on Friday evening said that the inmates entered that cell before exiting an adjacent loading dock door and traveling down a side road behind the building.
01:37:06.000They were able to break open a door, Hudson said.
01:37:09.000They were still able to exit the jail about 1 a.m. after breaching a wall behind a toilet in the jail.
01:39:36.000When asked by a reporter if power tools had been used, Chief of Correction Jay Mallett said it was something the department was looking into.
01:40:52.000Jail records show that at least four of the escaped inmates are charged with murder or attempted murder.
01:40:57.000Charges for the others include aggravated assault with a firearm, armed robbery with a firearm, armed false imprisonment, battery and drug offenses.
01:44:50.000And if not, I will be discussing how we can primary people and how we can support their challengers.
01:44:58.000So yeah, if this part right here becomes a clip and gets on the old X to let people know that if you do not support the Hearing Protection Act and the Short Act, I will be doing everything I can personally to help your opponents.
01:45:14.000I'm deaf in one ear and short, so you should support me.
01:45:58.000Concrete Haiti says, I say yet again, seeing how utterly lost he was with just that simple question, we must overturn everything done in his presidency.
01:46:10.000The good news is all of the executive orders that he signed, Donald Trump has overturned them all.
01:46:18.000As for legislation, that was Congress, and I don't think that there's a whole lot we can do about that unless Congress can actually get their S together and actually pass some laws.
01:47:03.000Having that face-to-face conversation with voters is one of the most important things you can do as a candidate for office or as someone who just supports one.
01:47:12.000That is the easiest way to persuade the voters, and that is truly how you make Liberty win.
01:47:18.000And organizations like Citizens Alliance, Young Americans for Liberty, which, by the way, Young Americans for Liberty started out as students for Ron Paul.
01:49:29.000Will P says, TJ, given your successful lawsuit against Governor Andy Beshear over church closures during COVID, how should voters view his record on civil liberties as he runs for president?
01:49:42.000Look, Andy Beshear would be the greatest disaster for civil liberties in my lifetime if he were to become president.
01:49:50.000You think government weaponization under Biden was bad?
01:49:53.000It would be worse under Andy Beshear because Andy Beshear isn't senile.
01:49:57.000He would know full well what he is doing.
01:51:34.000Sporkwitch says, if she had used, and I think this person is, the Sporkwitch is talking about Kamala Harris.
01:51:40.000If she had used the 25th Amendment, then she becomes directly associated with and responsible for the failed policies hurting her 2024 run.
01:51:49.000They needed to be able to blame Biden for everything.
01:52:09.000I'm not sure that she could have, you know, could have distanced herself enough.
01:52:13.000I'm saying, like I said earlier, if she had cojones, man, and she was like, if she was as hungry for success and presidency as she, as I think she is, she would have called for it like in 22. Right.
01:52:31.000I think that, I mean, she would have had to have had a lot of intestinal fortitude to do that because I don't think the Democrats overall wanted that.
01:53:22.000Eric B says, it would have been political suicide for Kamala.
01:53:25.000The 25th requires the rest of the cabinet to agree.
01:53:28.000They weren't going to give up their deep state kingdoms and would have destroyed Kamala for exposing them to the public.
01:53:33.000Yeah, I kind of, I don't know, I don't like to try to, you know, Monday morning quarterback stuff that I don't have a whole lot of insider info on, but I do think that it...
01:53:44.000It takes more than just one person invoking the 25th Amendment to actually follow through and actually remove the president.
01:53:54.000You know, if the vice president can get, like, the secretary of state on board, then, you know, the secretary of state can probably take the lead.
01:54:02.000The vice president could say, okay, we're going to do this.
01:54:04.000The secretary of state can take the lead and be the person that's actually advocating for the vice president, so that way it doesn't seem like a naked power grab by the vice president.
01:54:18.000Section 4 of the 25th Amendment is what we're talking about.
01:54:22.000So the requisite is the vice president and a majority of the cabinet has to declare that the president at that point is unfit for office.
01:54:30.000So the vice president has to initiate it, but also that's one of those things of if you shoot at the king, you better kill him.
01:54:40.000You're DOA at that point if you fail on it.
01:54:43.000But once again, as I said, Kamala Harris did not do that because she knew full well that if she gave the American people a free sample of her presidency, they would take a look at that and just immediately say no thanks.
01:54:55.000I mean, that makes sense what you're saying.
01:54:57.000Like, there's no way—she didn't have the backing of the cabinet at all in any way, shape, or form.
01:58:13.000You know, you're preaching to the choir here.
01:58:14.000I mean, I've been the guy that's talking about this stuff, you know, as much as I can here on the show because I think that the whole NFA should be, you know, should be abolished and, I mean, get rid of the ATF too.
01:59:56.000And they've managed to keep their identity secret for, I think, three records now.
02:00:02.000There's a new band that just dropped a song called President, and they were wearing masks and they were supposed to be secret, and it literally dropped Last Night at Midnight, and the dude that is president, his name's already out.
02:00:20.000If you're going to wear a mask and try and keep it secret, And then you blow it, especially with all the hype, because Revolver was talking about them.
02:00:27.000They had been pumping these guys since February, and they had a decent following on Instagram already, and they just totally blew it.
