Sean Davis, founder of The Federalist joins me to talk about the recent special election in Tennessee, and why he thinks it was a weird one. He also talks about the newest addition to the Democratic Party, Afton Bain, who is running for Congress in a district that was once thought to be a solid red state.

00:06:26.000Today, we'll be back with Sean Davis over at the Federalist, who is at the tip of the spear in exposing so many of the left's lies on immigration, on weaponization, lawfare, and on everything in between.

00:07:42.000The Trump administration is moving fast to right all of the left's wrongs.
00:07:47.000But with all the damage we've seen the Democrats do, it's always smart to be prepared.
00:07:53.000And that's why thousands of Americans are buying gold now from the Birch Gold Group.
00:07:59.000In the past 12 months, the value of gold has increased by 30%.
00:08:04.000And Birch Gold makes it extremely easy to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.

00:08:51.000Joining me now, Federalist founder Sean Davis.
00:09:28.000But Nashville, the city itself was still blue.
00:09:31.000They still voted for this person who seems to hate everyone, thinks that, you know, women who get married and have children are simply supporting the patriarchy.
00:10:13.000I'm like, what's your purpose being here?
00:10:16.000But really, she's the id of the modern Democrat Party.
00:10:20.000So even though she's from Nashville, a very blue city in a very blue county, there's this weird breed of Democrat that just kind of like hates everything and everyone, doesn't like Trump, doesn't like Jesus, doesn't like Christians, doesn't like guns, doesn't like farms, doesn't like rural people.
00:10:38.000And even though these people are in Tennessee and in Nashville, they kind of hate what their state represents because they think it represents people who love God and love America and love the Constitution.
00:10:54.000So to me, that kind of explains this urban hatred of the Republican Party and conservatives, even from people who live in those states and in those cities.
00:11:03.000Yeah, I mean, it's curious because cities, even in these red states, I mean, Tennessee is pretty damn red.
00:11:10.000The city's still skewed so blue, even on like the issues of illegal immigration, where they're probably, frankly, far more negatively affected.
00:11:20.000JD Vance recently wrote, the connection between illegal immigration and skyrocketing housing costs is as clear as day.
00:11:38.000Because it's literally the cause of the thing they're bitching most about.
00:11:43.000Yeah, I think there's this weird cognitive dissonance that you just have to operate with on a daily basis as a left-winger or as a Democrat where you just don't allow those different thoughts to take place in your head at the same time because I think it would make their heads explode.
00:11:58.000But you look at Memphis, you look at Nashville, the two biggest cities in Tennessee.
00:12:03.000They're also the craziest blue cities.
00:12:07.000I believe they're the only two counties.
00:12:09.000I think Shelby County and Davidson County are the only blue counties in the entire state.
00:12:13.000And that includes like Chattanooga and Knoxville as well.
00:12:16.000So I think to be a Democrat, you have to understand, yeah, these are all our problems, but you're not allowed to entertain the thought at the same time that any of the constituent members of your party are the cause of those problems.
00:12:28.000You can't admit that, oh, maybe we have kind of a housing shortage and high prices because we have all these people who a lot of them are here illegally.
00:12:37.000But wait, that's the base of our party.
00:12:49.000We're not allowed to say we should get rid of the illegals because they're a part of the coalition and will get run out.
00:12:55.000So we're just going to pretend that doesn't exist.
00:12:57.000So it's this odd, I think, thing that Democrats have to do every day, which is just go through life refusing to acknowledge the connection between A and B of things they see, because I think their brains would explode if they ever had to acknowledge both of those happening at the same time.
00:13:12.000Yeah, I mean, just look at this Somali fraud ring in Minnesota.
00:13:16.000I mean, billions of dollars meant to help the people of Minnesota siphoned off to Somalia and not just like in terms of remittances, but literally funneled to al-Shabaab, like a terror group.
00:13:28.000You know, that's directly tied to reckless immigration policy.
00:13:34.000It's affecting those it's designed to help negatively rather than helping even remotely.
00:13:39.000I mean, we're making big progress on immigration, but like, you know, that's the, it's incredible, you know, the fraud that we're uncovering and that it seems like the governor was aware.
00:13:50.000There were whistleblowers pointing it out.
00:13:52.000Not only were they not listened to, they were retaliated against, it seems.
00:13:57.000How is that even possible at this point?
00:13:59.000Is that demographic so big there that you would literally go against your own administration?
00:14:04.000Like, this isn't Republican versus Democrat.
00:14:07.000These are Democrats in a Democrat administration saying, hey, man, there's billions that are meant to help your constituency being funneled not just to Somalia, but to al-Shabaab rather than helping people who actually could use the assistance.
00:14:21.000Yeah, and there's this really kind of cruel irony with the Somali population in the U.S.
00:14:26.000So the whole reason they are here is because of the civil war that was going on there in the early 90s.
00:14:31.000So the American military dispatched their forces over there.
00:14:35.000They sent Delta, they sent the Rangers.
00:14:38.000I think they sent the 10th Mountain Division over to go and protect the people from being murdered by all these warlords who were stealing food and then selling it and then using the money to buy arms.
00:14:51.000So the whole reason we were there was to protect these people who were in large part starving because warlords were stealing their money.
00:15:31.000That doesn't mean there's not some good people in there, but when you're talking about billions stolen, fraud rings, liberal judges not wanting to even penalize these people.
00:15:39.000No accountability, no restitution, no nothing.
00:15:46.000No, and what makes it so maddening is how predictable it is.
00:15:50.000When you import the third world, you import all of the various tribal wars, the clan rivalries, the graft that you have there, all the problems that were endemic to the country they left.
00:16:02.000If you bring them in whole cloth without any sort of assimilation, you are bringing in all the problems that they were creating in the place that they had to flee in the first place.
00:16:11.000And it's especially sad in Minnesota, in Minneapolis.
00:16:14.000I have some really, really good friends who were born and raised there.
00:16:18.000Really good friend who built up a marvelously successful business in Minneapolis, but had to leave because of the insanity of the left-wing government in Minnesota and the takeover of Minneapolis by the Somalis.
00:17:11.000Do you think that that population got so entrenched there because of just the general niceties of people in Minnesota?
00:17:19.000Well, you know, this seems to happen a lot.
00:17:21.000We saw Biden do it with where he was bringing in plane loads of people and he wasn't dropping them in Martha's Vineyard or in Manhattan.
00:17:30.000No, he was dropping them in the rural Midwest, in the rural South.
00:17:35.000And so I think a lot of it probably was done on purpose because you have this weird NGO immigration industrial complex where I think a lot of it probably starts out with good intentions.
00:17:51.000And then once this complex gets started, it becomes a money thing and a political power thing.
00:17:56.000So you get these NGOs who are getting all kinds of state and federal grants to resettle people.
00:18:01.000You have the people in charge of those programs and the government grants who are almost certainly left-wingers.
00:18:06.000And then they start looking at the chessboard and they think, oh, Minnesota, that's potentially kind of a red state or a state that could become that way.
00:18:13.000We should probably put a stop to that.
00:18:49.000It's out of the news cycle in minutes.
00:18:52.000When I guess that was Biden even, but Obama was droning the hell out of people.
00:18:55.000Biden, after they, you know, they didn't figure out that the attack was happening on Baghdam Air Force Base, but within 10 minutes, they were definitely able to find the culprits and they drone a family of 10 or two families of 10.
00:19:10.000But they're so outraged at us taking on cartels literally in our own hemisphere, literally running drug boats.
00:19:17.000You know, I haven't spent a lot of time in Venezuela, but those boats look like something more out of Miami vice than anything you see, especially in a fishing boat in Venezuela.
00:19:25.000They're not running GoFast boats with quad Mercury 450s on there in Venezuela.
00:19:54.000You know, I grew up in the desert in a landlocked state, so I don't have a lot of experience with deep sea fishing, but I'm pretty sure that most fishing boats have fishing equipment on them.
00:20:04.000It's like you don't need to be a virologist to understand that, of course, the Wuhan virus left from the lab in Wuhan, China that studies the exact virus at ground zero of where they're like, you don't have to be a virologist.
00:20:16.000I mean, I know it got canceled because I wasn't a virologist and I said that, even though it was obviously true and the most plausible response.
00:20:23.000But yeah, to your point, you don't need to be a great fisherman to understand that, I don't know, if you're fishing, maybe you have some nets.
00:20:45.000They're actually like super clean, pretty sleek.
00:20:48.000But, you know, it's interesting having lived through the Obama administration, President Droni McDronerson in the White House for eight years there.
00:20:56.000That guy was droning American citizens.
00:20:59.000Now, they were American citizens who had gone off the reservation and were genuine terrorists, but they were American citizens nonetheless.
00:21:09.000And I don't recall the Washington Post or the New York Times or the Democrat Senate Conference being, oh, my stars and garters, we can't have this.
00:21:16.000They whistled right past the graveyard like it never happened.
00:21:19.000Yeah, there was no talk of due process.
00:21:21.000And again, Americans are entitled to due process, whether we like them or not, whether they turn or not, whether they're bad people or not.
00:21:28.000Like, you know, Venezuelan narco-terrorists are not afforded the same privileges as far as my understanding of the Constitution, which I think is pretty basic.
00:21:36.000Yeah, and I kept hearing this term from the left.
00:21:39.000These were shipwrecked sailors that were attacked.
00:21:45.000Because there's pretty basic rules on what you have to do in the open sea.
00:21:49.000You don't just get to go out there on a big old boat, however you feel like it, with no identification, no flag.
00:21:56.000What nation's uniform were these guys wearing?
00:21:58.000Because I'm pretty sure they were under no flag and they were having no uniforms.
00:22:02.000So either they were terrorists or they were pirates.
00:22:04.000And the law on what you're allowed to do to terrorists and pirates in the sea is pretty clear.
00:22:09.000But again, these guys are- Maritime law is actually a lot tougher than even American law from that perspective.
00:22:16.000And it's very clear if they're running, especially 70 miles an hour in the open ocean with no flag with barrels of stuff from a known narco-terrorist state.
00:22:34.000And so my grandfather, you know, he passed away, gosh, 12 years ago, 13 years ago.
00:22:41.000He was a fire controlman in a submarine during World War II in the South China Sea, which means he was the guy in charge of putting together the firing solutions for the torpedoes.
00:22:52.000And I heard some stories from him and I've read the lore of what his boat did at the time.
00:22:57.000They sunk a crap ton of Japanese hardware in the middle of the ocean.
00:23:03.000I don't ever remember him telling me, yep, we were only allowed to shoot one torpedo.
00:23:07.000Once it was out of the tube, we were only allowed to shoot lawyers at him.
00:23:16.000Yeah, we need more of that generation's mentality, I think, because, man, the Democrats seem to be literally like, you know, a civilizational threat in terms of common sense or just about anything else.
00:24:04.000No, listen, I mean, they're literally going as far as to push sedition from active military people and people in Congress to save drug boats.
00:24:16.000I mean, it really does make you wonder what's going on.
00:24:18.000I mean, how have you guys been covering this over at the Federalists?
00:24:23.000Because it seems like such an obvious one.
00:24:38.000If the Somalis aren't going to assimilate, the drug smuggler from Venezuela, you think they're going to assimilate and start leading a good life and be productive in society?
00:24:50.000Yeah, it's interesting kind of how we have changed our coverage at the Federalist of a lot of these hoaxes.
00:24:55.000When they first started doing this crap in 2015 and 2016, we would dig into the details and we would start refuting every little thing.
00:25:03.000And it was like playing whack-a-mole because as soon as you refuted one thing, which wasn't that hard, they had 10 new lies out there you had to smack.
00:25:10.000And what we learned over time, and I think the revelation of the Russia hoax being a total conjob made a big difference, is that the games just don't work as well anymore.
00:25:20.000And so we've kind of transitioned from having to go and smack down every stupid lie to really just outright mockery because what their goal is anymore, they're not conning everyone.
00:25:31.000They're hoping they can get one or two or three stupid Republicans in Washington to play along with their government.
00:25:47.000Like they get a cush treatment from the media.
00:25:50.000They can kind of, you know, you can be 90% conservative in Washington, D.C., and it's pretty light.
00:25:54.000But if you give in on the big ones, if you follow their lead, you know, you just, you know, prostrate yourself to them like, you know, on occasion, you know, hey, you can go about the rest of your business in peace and harmony.
00:26:06.000Yeah, so I think it's become more important, at least from my perspective, to kind of bully and mock the Republicans who are stupid enough to get caught up in these things because it really is embarrassing.
00:26:17.000At this point, if you're a Republican, it's an IQ test.
00:26:20.000And I'd say 98% of the people in Washington on the right are not falling for it, but you still got some dummies out there.
00:26:27.000And I'm reminded of a quote at the beginning of C.S. Lewis's book, The Screwtape Letters.
00:26:34.000And it says at the beginning, it's a quote from St. Thomas Moore, a Catholic martyr.
00:26:40.000And it says, the devil, that proud spirit, cannot endure to be mocked.
00:26:44.000Mockery is a totally underrated tool in politics.
00:26:49.000If you can get people to laugh at someone, to mock them and enjoy mockery of them, then you own the perspective of that person for a very, very long time.
00:26:59.000And this is something the left understood.
00:27:22.000And then number three, these people are imminently worthy of being mocked.
00:27:26.000Like Mark Kelly, the guy leading the seditious six, who was a CCP, a communist Chinese business partner with one of his like drone or space companies for years.
00:27:36.000That guy's the one out there being Captain America.
00:27:47.000And yet, you know, they give him the platform.
00:27:48.000I mean, that's why we, I mean, for you guys at the Federalists, for what I try to do, it's just so important for people to tune out that mainstream media that still turns that guy into a hero.
00:27:57.000I mean, he literally bragged about bringing like a Chinese Communist Party flag into space as an astronaut.
00:28:02.000I'm like, that's who, like, that's who we're putting.
00:28:04.000I mean, you know, this does not seem like we're elevating our best.
00:28:07.000It seems like we're elevating the clowns that fit that narrative and will just succumb.
00:28:10.000And I guess, you know, I have a feeling Pete Hegseth and the rest of the crew over at the DOW are probably weeding out those people and actually putting like, you know, real patriotic Americans who deserve to be there, not like the woke DEI checkbox candidates into space anymore.
00:28:25.000Well, yeah, and it's so interesting looking at what's happened to the Democrat Party because I think the last guy that they had who I think is like a true American hero, red-blooded, middle-America, hadn't lost his mind, was Jim Webb.
00:28:39.000So this guy was a decorated Vietnam vet.
00:28:46.000And they ran that guy out of the party.
00:28:47.000Normally, that's the guy you're going to use on this kind of operation, someone who's respected, who has that history, who isn't a Looney Tunes.
00:28:55.000They don't have those people in their party anymore.
00:28:58.000So they have to go to people like Mark Kelly, a CCP stooge, to go do their dirty work.
00:29:04.000And so it's a little funny that they're now in this mess that they're having to pick chuckleheads like that to run these ops because they just don't have good people to do it anymore.
00:29:26.000Like, it's like, I got to get the hell out of here.
00:29:29.000You see what they're trying to do to John Fetterman, who's like really pretty damn left.
00:29:34.000But like on a few issues, he's like, this is nuts.
00:29:36.000Like, this is not what my people want.
00:29:38.000It's like, now they're going to primary him.
00:29:39.000I'm like, he's one of the only people that is even willing to stand up to any of the, like, it's, again, I don't agree with him probably on much on some of these issues, but he was able and willing to take a couple stances that didn't just go with the narrative.
00:29:52.000On two or three issues, he's far more popular than most of them, especially in his own district.
00:29:55.000And they're like, primary, like, we got to get that guy out of there.
00:29:59.000He doesn't want to see whatever the hell, you know, common sense things his actual constituency agrees with.
00:30:09.000Oh, Fetterman, he's a fascinating test case.
00:30:12.000And it says everything about the modern Democrat Party, that the guy with significant brain damage is the only one making sense half the time.
00:30:19.000Like, how do you get to that point in your party that Fetterman is the guy who people look to is like, yeah, yeah, he's the sane one.
00:30:25.000He's the one who actually understands some of this stuff.
00:30:28.000And like you said, I don't agree with him on most stuff, but he actually fits his state shockingly well.
00:30:34.000Yeah, he knows his people and is willing to represent them.
00:30:37.000You know, the problem with everyone else on the Democrat side is, you know, they know what George Soros thinks and they're willing to represent him, not the people that put them in office.
00:30:45.000You know, you look at these like Middle America, you know, blue state senators and you're like, who are you representing?
00:30:55.000You know, they may agree on some of the issues or social issues or maybe abortion, whatever it is, but like on this, like that, that's your hill to die on.
00:31:03.000And it seems like they have no representation because without that Soros money or the New York and California money, the radical side, like you can't actually get elected, like you'll never win.
00:31:13.000So they end up electing people who are far more radical than the people they're chosen to represent.
00:31:21.000Yeah, and it's really interesting to watch how the Soros family plays this stuff.
00:31:26.000Every time Alex Soros has a meeting with one of these people in his fancy New York loft, he takes a picture with him and immediately posts it.
00:31:33.000And it's almost like a hunter collecting and displaying the game that he's killed and stuffed and put on the wall.
00:31:42.000That's what Soros is doing with politicians.
00:31:45.000And it's a demonstration of power that he's doing, showing I own these people, that they work for me.
00:31:52.000And man, can you think of a single major Democrat Party power figure today who hasn't had to make the pilgrimage to the Soros loft to take that picture for him to post up there?
00:32:03.000It's one of his collected little pets.
00:32:09.000I'm sure they're out there, but they'd never get elected to office because if they don't make that pilgrimage, they don't get the money and then they can't win.
00:32:15.000So, Sean, maybe shifting to the economy for a second, where do you think we are as a movement in communicating on this message like affordability?
00:32:25.000We're building something for the long term instead of just the sugar hives.
00:32:28.000And again, it's sort of hard to, and I try to, as a business guy, as a guy with an economics, like trying to explain that it hasn't happened.
00:32:35.000Man, you can't just undo four years of stuff.
00:32:38.000Like inflation numbers are under control, but the price of goods is still high because you had four years of inflation in like double digit numbers.
00:32:46.000Like, well, unless you run negative inflation, which is really hard to get to, you know, that baseline is there, but that baseline is not there because of Trump.
00:32:54.000That baseline is there because of Biden.
00:32:57.000I'm curious how you talk about that to an audience, because again, they go in there, they still feel, well, things are too expensive.
00:33:02.000It's like, well, they're not rising as much as they are anymore, but over four years, that base price for that product jumped.
00:33:09.000And you just can't undo four years of literally gross incompetence and gross negligence in a year, let alone even a few years.
00:33:18.000I mean, some of those things, you know, they got to work on and we got to try to fix it.
00:33:22.000But like, you think we're going to really run negative 12% inflation for years to get those things back down to that price?
00:33:29.000I mean, some of the things, gas and stuff, they can do that.
00:33:31.000But products across the board, that's not that easy.
00:33:34.000Yeah, so I think the big problem here and that prices and affordability are just a proxy for is people feel as though they've lost the country that they had once.
00:33:44.000You used to be able to raise a family in a nice neighborhood in a home you owned on one income.
00:33:50.000Your kids could afford to go to college if they wanted to.
00:33:53.000When they got out of college, they didn't have a zillion dollars in debt, and they were able to find a good job with a company for the long term that took care of them and provided for them even in retirement.
00:34:12.000There's no chance I'll ever be able to afford a home, number one, because I don't have the income to support a mortgage and I can't actually build up the capital I need to do a down payment without a job.
00:34:23.000You know, I'll be lucky if I can ever get married and have kids.
00:34:26.000So I think it's really, really important to understand that that's kind of the universe where this affordability argument is happening in.
00:34:35.000And it's the same thing for immigration.
00:34:37.000It's not just that people sit around thinking, oh, I hate immigrants.
00:34:49.000Maybe it would be easier for me if we didn't have 10 or 20 million illegals here.
00:34:53.000Maybe it would be easier if we weren't importing people and paying them half of what Americans normally get paid.
00:34:58.000And so I think what people are looking for is not a solution right now, that milk has to be cheaper right now.
00:35:05.000They need to know that people understand that this is something that's been happening over 30 years, 50 years, the American middle class, the core of the American dream being sold out.
00:35:15.000And they want someone to come in and acknowledge that and then put together a plan to fix that.
00:35:20.000So I think that's what the Republican Party should be about going forward is restoring the American dream that was stolen from them for 50 years by a globalist uniparty who cared more about making money for their banker friends than they did about taking care of their own country.
00:35:33.000Yeah, but I also see it again in the for like the Democrats are trying to latch onto this affordability issue.
00:35:38.000I'm like, wait, like, so if you elect Democrats in midterms, like, you think things are going to get more affordable or less?
00:35:43.000Do you think they're going to open the borders or do you think they're going to keep them closed?
00:35:46.000Do you think they're going to keep giving grants to every, you know, every refugee from all over the world, whether they need to be here or not, whether they can add any value into the system or not?
00:35:55.000Like, do you think things get better or worse if you bring Democrats back in there?
00:35:59.000Because I don't think they get better.
00:36:29.000I'm reminded of Biden, I think when he was vice president, responding to job losses in the coal community, saying, well, you can learn to code.
00:36:38.000Like that's what the Democrat Party gets you, is that when they come in and deliberately destroy your job, they mock you and then tell you to go get a job in an industry, by the way, that they've sold out to India and China because they know they can import workers there for 50 cents on the dollar.
00:36:54.000And who cares what happens to the American workers?
00:36:56.000They're the ones who jacked up inflation.
00:36:58.000They're the ones who've made cars expensive.
00:37:00.000They're the ones who've outsourced and offshored all our jobs in our industry.
00:37:03.000They're the ones who are sending people overseas to fight in stupid wars that don't need to be fought and churning up trillions and trillions of dollars in debt.
00:37:11.000So yeah, I think it's super important to remind people of the alternative because politics really is a competition between alternative visions.
00:37:20.000We don't really need to hear what the Democrat Party vision is because we lived it, we saw it, and it's an absolute disaster for the country.
00:37:27.000Yeah, by the way, I would, now that he's retired, maybe needs some employment, I would pay good money to see Joe Biden learn to code.
00:37:35.000Like, I think that would be like, that would be a reality TV show that would make The Apprentice seem like low ratings.
00:38:26.000Maybe we tell the truth and then we just have facts out there.
00:38:29.000But the reality is the corrupt corporate media has so much power that it's hard to not be reactive.
00:38:35.000So it's always a struggle figuring out how much of our resources are we going to expend reacting to their nonsense and then how much are we going to expend trying to be proactive and telling the stories that we think need to be told.
00:38:50.000Obviously, I think immigration is a big story.
00:38:54.000And then I think the continuing judicial coup against the country, those two things, how those shake out, I think determines whether we have a country in five or 10 years.
00:39:03.000Because if we allow a bunch of corrupt judges who don't care about their oaths and don't care about the law to do whatever they want, irrespective of who we have elected to do things that elected people are allowed to do.
00:39:15.000And if we don't get rid of this criminal class of illegals, we're not going to have a country anymore.
00:39:23.000So I think immigration and the judicial coup are the two main things that will determine what we look like as a country in one, two, or 10 years.
00:39:34.000In your mind, what's the roadmap to deal with the corrupt judges?
00:39:38.000What power does Congress have to do that?
00:39:41.000Are the margins too tight that you lose the one or two Republicans that feel like, I guess it's their duty to always go against Republicans?
00:39:49.000Can you actually make that happen in the real world and especially with such a slim majority?
00:40:01.000You're going to have everyone in the media hate you, but whatever, like you get used to that after a couple of minutes.
00:40:07.000I think it's important to put these judges through the ringer.
00:40:10.000And you'll have some people say, well, there's not the votes in the Senate to convict them, so it's a waste of time.
00:40:14.000And I would say, it is not a waste of time.
00:40:17.000You think corrupt judge Jed Bozberg wants to see all of the communications he was having outside of the courtroom?
00:40:24.000You think he wants us to go through and understand who he was talking to and what he was planning while he was gagging telecom companies from talking about how they were being forced to illegally spy on Congress?
00:40:35.000You think that guy wants to talk about how he tried to usurp the powers of the commander in chief to take control of military aircraft?
00:40:41.000None of these judges want to be put through that ringer.
00:40:44.000They don't want their papers subpoenaed.
00:41:09.000But if they can bankrupt you and embarrass you and ruin your lives through the process of dragging you through the courts, they'll do it.
00:41:15.000So why on earth does the right not understand that they need to do that to the left?
00:41:19.000Yeah, I mean, it's sort of, I mean, it reminds me, I mean, on Thursday, we saw, you know, Kash Patel and the FBI seem to arrest a suspect in the January 6th pipe bombing, which to me sounded like a much bigger deal than anything else that happened on January 6th when you talk about someone laying bombs within the vicinity of the RNC and the DNC, both of the two major parties of this country.
00:41:40.000And it was like that South Park episode.
00:42:19.000And these guys in eight months or so are able to get to a suspect that the other side didn't do in four years or didn't even attempt to do.
00:42:27.000I mean, you know, I'd ask, how do you deal with what seems like either corruption or incompetence, perhaps both?
00:42:35.000Is there ever any accountability for that in our major federal law enforcement division?
00:42:41.000Yeah, I would love to know the full story of why it took four years.
00:42:55.000I suspect it didn't even take them eight months.
00:42:58.000I think it probably once they got the bad personnel out of the way who had been very deliberately obstructing and confusing the issue to prevent a definitive identification.
00:43:09.000Because let's be honest, what they don't want is for the pipe bomber to be anyone other than their stereotypical red MAGA hat wearing redneck.
00:43:20.000So if it was, and then if it was real, like that guy would have been found in five minutes.
00:43:26.000Like, you know, they found me like that.
00:44:00.000It was maybe eight months since they took power, but by the time they weeded out all this stuff, I'm sure it was a lot less time.
00:44:05.000And because of the lawfare we were talking about from the judges, I mean, I imagine they have to dot every I, cross every T because they're not going to get any benefit of the doubt in prosecuting this in any way, shape, or form, which is the exact opposite of anyone who was attacked by the Justice Department on January 6th, where they got every benefit of the bout.
00:44:42.000Where problems develop is when they target the wrong things or the wrong people and they use that amazing ability and power to destroy their enemies.
00:44:52.000In this case, when you see the evidence, I don't think these were new facts they learned a week ago or two weeks ago.
00:45:15.000Probably not what's actually out there on the cameras at the DNC or the RNC.
00:45:19.000So, you know, again, it also created a whole bunch of conspiracy theories, which again, forces people to go down a different path.
00:45:24.000But again, I think the FBI under Ray and Biden, they were too busy chasing down a grandmother that may have taken a selfie inside the velvet ropes two hours after they broke through, not even knowing they weren't supposed to be in the Capitol building.
00:45:37.000You know, they found those people really quickly.
00:45:39.000It's almost like they were trying to find those people and not the other guy that wanted to blow up both parties in our republic.
00:45:48.000Yeah, the metaphor I would use, so my family, when our kids were younger, we loved doing puzzles.
00:45:53.000And when you got little kids, you always want to let your kids put the last puzzle pieces in to get that satisfaction.
00:45:58.000And I imagine what this case looked like was a puzzle.
00:46:01.000Sean, you and I are so different than that.
00:46:02.000I'm going to finish the puzzle in the Trump family.
00:46:03.000Okay, you're going to, you better be on it early.
00:46:06.000We're not going to let them get those little wins.
00:46:15.000But I imagine a puzzle that had 10 key pieces missing that you couldn't quite make out the main picture and that those pieces were just left on the side and nobody put them where they needed to go because they knew what it was going to look like at the end.
00:46:29.000And it took Cash and Dan Bongino coming in and saying, hey, all you idiots, get away from the puzzle.
00:46:34.000We're putting those puzzle pieces in there.
00:46:38.000I think that's what happened over four years.
00:46:40.000And it took them weeding out all these corrupt agents in the deep state to prevent their obstruction and confusion of the issue to prevent their narrative from being blown up entirely.
00:46:52.000I know we're going to see a bunch from a lot of left-leaning judges trying to throw this out and make sure this guy is turned into a hero rather than face accountability for his actions if he did it.
00:47:02.000So we don't even have to do a show on that because we all know what's going to happen.
