[Music] bum bum hey everybody yes Muller time more Muller all the time you know I've never wanted to talk about Muller so much as I want to talk about it today and you know this conversation it would be good by itself if you just came here to hear a conversation you'd probably be pretty happy with it but no you could do more than that you can enjoy the simultaneous up making your conversation come alive in a way that Muller did not make the molar report come alive and all you need to enjoy this ceremony this little kick to your dopamine is you need a cup of mugged or glasses time to tell us a tankard possibly thermos or a flask a canteen a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid dye like coffee and join me for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the
[1:07]
pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the simultaneous yep here it is Oh extra good coffee today I would say my coffee has been mullah rised that's my new word for extra good extra good all right let's talk about all the stuff I think you probably watched the Miller stuff non-stop yesterday as did I by the end of the day I was so full of Mahler stuff I was ready to go to sleep but I woke up to more Muller stuff so let's talk about it let's give the overall first of all I'm probably not going to say too much that maybe didn't hear in the news treatment yesterday but I'm gonna put my own special spin on it or as Missy Pelosi you might say my special spin on it
[2:09]
number one the Muller did not look competent that's sort of the big takeaway people are using different words to describe it well he didn't look like he was the same molar he used to be now people are trying to be kind but Muller did put himself in the situation where he was the face is the most important issue of the country and maybe he should have known that he wasn't the right person for the job I don't know if he has declined quickly recently that's possible he meant maybe by the time he took the job he was in better shape well first of all let us give President Trump credit for not offering him the job to head the FBI there's a story you didn't see right is anybody saying President Trump got it right when he didn't offer Muller the job as head of the FBI now I think that Muller is claiming that the job was
[3:10]
Muller is claiming that the job was never offered or he wasn't asking for the job I think is what he's going to say they just had a conversation about it but at that level if the president calls you if to have a conversation about a job you can't really walk out and say we weren't talking about me taking the job you don't go to a private meeting with the president to talk about a job if you're not you know if you're not either the person filling the job or a candidate for it so just just saying here are the takeaways things that I learned from the malaria investigation that I didn't know did you know that there was was there anything that you didn't know that you learned there were for me there were some things I didn't know here's one did you know that Glenn Simpson the fusion GPS guy he met with that Russian lawyer who met with Don junior in the Trump Tower meeting there
[4:12]
junior in the Trump Tower meeting there Glenn Simpson met with that lawyer both before and after the Trump Tower meeting did you know that I didn't know that turns out that fusion GPS is sort of in a lot of this stuff is aren't they there's a lot of fusion GPS in this but that's okay because we had this whole Muller investigation and in fusion GPS suddenly steel Doce and all that if they were central really to the question that was being investigated well at least Muller investigated everything about them to find out if Russia was really doing a disinformation kit what what oh I'm being told that he didn't look into that at all what what the mauler investigation didn't look into whether the steel dossier was a Russian misinformation campaign given that the entire topic was about Russian
[5:14]
that the entire topic was about Russian interference and it was the biggest most obvious example of Russian interference you don't even need to be a professional to know that the Russians were evidently involved in a major misinformation thing that could have changed our election why was that not listed as one of the most major things that Russia did to influence our elections why was that left out so I I'm gonna make a bold statement there was no Muller investigation because if Muller left out of the investigation the most important part of the best of the investigation which is was Russia messing with our election if he ignored the most important one the one that you and I know about I'm not sure that you could say he really investigated could you I think you'd have to say there was something like a cover story of an
[6:16]
something like a cover story of an investigation there was something like yeah people got talked to people went to jail but I don't think you could call that an investigation could you I would call it something else yeah I guess Muller was saying it wasn't his his purview but given that no literally nobody believes that right now there's a little bit of fate news I'm gonna call fate news on this that Muller didn't recognize fusion GPS when it came up in the questioning did you see that little exchange as Pig reported as though Muller had never heard of fusion GPS but if you listen to the actual video it's another one of these where it can be interpreted to waste when I looked at it it didn't look like that at all so it's being reported that Muller didn't know who fusion GPS was I looked at the videotape and I said no that's not what's going on there he was confused about the question or the situation or
[7:17]
about the question or the situation or what page or what context it was but he didn't say I don't know what fusion GPS is that's actually just faint boos as far as I can tell I looked at the same video where everybody else said let's say what else you're something that the public probably never heard I have heard this but it was so de-emphasized and I think it was only on Tucker Carlson show and maybe no place else in the world this news which came out because of the the Muller hearing was that we don't have any direct evidence that Putin was behind any of the interference
you know I first heard that on Tucker Carlson show and I thought wait a minute I've been saying this from the beginning does it and first of all let me let me fact check this is there anybody who remembers there from the very beginning I've been saying yes I keep hearing that
[8:18]
I've been saying yes I keep hearing that Russia is involved but you and I have not seen any and the evidence of that happen have I not been saying that since the beginning yes I understand that our intelligence services say that Russia was involved but you and I have not heard anything we have seen no evidence of that we have seen evidence that a troll factory ran some ads mostly pro-trump some of them pro kleh who is it will explain to me why the troll farm that was trying to help trump explicitly ran a number of Pro Hillary ads can somebody explain what was going on there you know it would make more sense if somebody said okay we were just trying to mess with our elections in general but did they have a bad trol did they have a little troll for him and one of the trolls went bad and when they said hey everybody this is your job make ads that are good for President Trump was there a bad troll who wasn't
[9:20]
was there a bad troll who wasn't listening that day and that's all decided I think I'll make some trolls there some troll ads that are good for president or for Hillary Clinton that doesn't make sense it never made sense what about that whole steel dossier what about the fact that when we were saying that Russia was interfering with the election who was the first person you heard say Russia's interfering with the election why do I keep hearing about British people who told you that first probably the first person who ever said I noticed we're talking about it like his Russian interference but it looks to me like British interference who said that me I probably was the first person who ever said that or that you heard not the first person who ever said it obviously
so I would say that the whole Moeller thing is a disgrace to the country a complete disservice a waste of money except to help the president I suppose
[10:22]
except to help the president I suppose indirectly and it didn't do the basics of his job it didn't look into British interference and it didn't look into Russian interference because it didn't look into the steel dossier so and it didn't make a it did not make any direct connection that has been revealed to us or even revealed to Muller or whoever wrote the report because even the molar report does not say Russians did interfere it says it appears that way it seems that way that's a pretty pretty big difference in the world where we're wrong about just about everything all the time if we lives in a world where you could be right because things look right well it seems right therefore when things seem right they usually are right we don't live in that world we live in the world when things seem exactly right they're completely wrong routinely the most the most normal thing that you know about the world that
[11:23]
thing that you know about the world that maybe wasn't so obvious a few years ago the most the most clear thing you know about the world is it just because it well it seems like the Russians were involved it feels like it means nothing it doesn't mean anything the most basic fact of this whole story is undemonstrated but it's undemonstrated meaning unproven it's unproven in a world where things just seeming like they're true doesn't mean anything anymore so the reliability of all this is pretty close to zero for around 25 40 billion dollars and all of the pain and distraction that it has caused let's talk about how the Democrats are taking it it has been well reported that many prominent anti-trump errs are even saying oh my god this was a total waste
[12:24]
saying oh my god this was a total waste of time apparently Michael Moore came down pretty hard on Muller and even Phil Mudd who's pretty I was spoken to say the least anti-trump ER even C said the Democrats should just shut up and move on he said just shut up and move on let's talk about healthcare take the L Phil Mudd I give you respect for that because it's actually hard to take the L all right I would say that he's got the the ones who were willing to do it the ones who were just saying okay that didn't work out it wasn't what we thought it would be the whole thing failed but let's move on iris like that because at least this shows somebody is learning the people who are not moving on they're not learning and they're not doing anything useful for the world either so at least FilmOn gets partial credit for that but not for the
[13:25]
partial credit for that but not for the last three years of ragging on the president for nothing or was keep what amounted to nothing here are some more people that this whole situation is bad for Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders the reason it's so bad for Biden Sanders is that we have this situation where everybody thought that Muller was competent and in charge everybody thought everybody thought he was the man but it turns out and he's this Patriot so I don't want to I don't want to I hate to malign his reputation but it's about the country now it's not about him and he's a patriot and he probably understands that sometimes you know there are casualties and unfortunately here's one in this case it's obvious he was too old for the job I think everybody would agree with that
[14:26]
I think everybody would agree with that there's probably nobody who watched it on either side who did not come away saying Oh turns out he was too old for that job now when you've got a Biden in the Sanders who are certainly on the cusp of the too old problem if not unambiguously too old that's gonna kill those guys I don't I don't see any chance the Biden and Sanders won't either won't see their numbers slide somewhat directly because of Muller and even though President Trump is up in years he is so energetic and dynamic that you don't even really you don't even see him that age do you do you really even see Trump as being the same age as Muller or Biden of those guys that it looks like apples and oranges Trump seems like he has every bit of and mental agility ever had and those
[15:31]
and mental agility ever had and those other guys look like they're losing the step but not birdie let me say Bernie does not look like he's losing a step but you see the oldest one I think I think he might be the oldest one so you the thing you worry about is that when they decline it happens quickly that's the problem all right i I think questions are gonna start swirling around Nancy Pelosi too because of age when she talks she slurs her words and I don't know what that's about is that about age or is that about dentures does anybody know because Nancy Pro she she's from our sort of shores are in a bit now maybe that didn't mean as much before but now that we've seen the Muller risk to the country and it is a risk it's pretty big risk people are gonna start to ask you know do we want somebody who's who's on the edge alright
[16:34]
somebody who's who's on the edge alright did it seem to you like this whole Muller investigation sort of evolved into a Dilbert cartoon did Muller not turn into the point here boss is that my imagination like maybe I see everything to that filter but it seemed like one of these situations where the boss knew the least about what was going on which it is a Dilbert comic strip do you think that I will get a Dilbert comic strip or two and of the Muller report yeah yes I will I will because it's a perfect you know big organization problem where the employees are trying to manage the boss and the boss somebody a lot of a lot of you in the comments are saying that Pelosi is drunk I'm not saying that but I will say it sounds like it it sounds like the slurring of somebody who's had
[17:36]
like the slurring of somebody who's had too much to drink I doubt that's what's going on but it's the look and since there are politicians on the national stage the look matters you know it's not nice to talk about those things but it's it's important all right let's talk about Boris Johnson new prime minister in the UK he apparently gave a speech in which he said that the UK is heading toward wait for it a golden age a golden age where'd he get that it's a great phrase so I've been saying that the u.s. is heading for a golden age but the UK got their their own version of a Donald Trump band and he said it explicitly time for the golden age I don't know exactly what he was talking about but I can imagine so it's good good to know that at least the UK is thinking in
[18:36]
that at least the UK is thinking in those terms now here's a question for you given that I believe the UK was somehow involved with the whole steel dossier situation because Christopher steel was at X pi and are there really X buys can you really be an ex-spy I'm not sure that's even the thing but what would happen if Boris Johnson decided to maybe open the lid on whatever it is that the UK knows about this whole situation I don't know that he will probably would be bad for the UK but on the other hand he might say you know they knew the new broom sweeps clean and he might say you know I'd like to improve relationships with the United States he might say it's a golden age he might say let's get right with the United States and let's tell them what we know and maybe we'll find out some things about the UK that we didn't know before
[19:36]
about the UK that we didn't know before maybe I think the odds been are pretty low because ultimately they have to do what's good for the UK we wouldn't want them to act any any differently because that would be a weird world if everybody acted against their own best interests of but I would put it out there that there's a zero chance that Boris Johnson will surprise us with some information about maybe what the UK knew and when it who was involved with Christopher Steele alright there's a cryptic report that Epstein was injured in his jail cell no information about that as to whether it was an attempted suicide or a beating but wasn't Epstein in his own cell was Epstein with the regular population because if F Steven was with the regular population well you'd expect him to get beaten so what's up with that why would they do that so if he attempted suicide was this
[20:40]
that so if he attempted suicide was this part of a plan I don't know but it's really interesting I would say slightly more chance of it being self-inflicted only because I can't imagine they put him with the general population that would be my guess all right the new CEO move yeah Boris Johnson will probably do the new CEO move that I described as the first things you do when you gain power when you take the job as a CEO for example the first things you do or what people will lament will know about you as your brand so if Boris Johnson does something surprising that's on brand for him that it's the thing that he wants you to know him by don't be surprised if he acts quickly to do something that sticks in your mind and tells you who he is if he's smart and I believe he is
[21:43]
is if he's smart and I believe he is Epstein might get the UK involved there's a connection there and maybe yes so Epstein might have the keys to the kingdom meaning the Epstein might have a lot of people's secrets if Epstein were in jail and any of those super important people who allegedly are at risk because Epstein is alive if those people wanted to kill him when he was in jail how hard would it be probably wouldn't be that hard one way you could kill Epstein if he were in jail I'm not suggesting this by the way I'm just speculating they could have slipped him something to kill himself for example they might have said to themselves you know this guy's probably gonna have some suicidal thoughts if
[22:45]
gonna have some suicidal thoughts if somebody gave him a bag of opioids one of these nights he's gonna he's give him down that bag he's gonna have a bad night and he's just gonna take care of it himself so one way to do it would be just make sure a guard slipped in the bag the other way to do it is to have the guards led him into the general population and that probably would take care of himself so maybe that's what happened so one possibility is this someone who's trying to kill Epstein compare that to maybe he just wanted to do it himself because he's gonna go to jail for life those are both good theories and I would not say I would not say one of them is more likely than the other at this point yeah okay so what else was going on seems like those are the only fun stories but let's talk about the bigger picture of Muller I
[23:46]
about the bigger picture of Muller I have to ask myself what happens to Democrats mental health now and I say that not jokingly even though everything we talk about is sort of fun completely seriously imagine if you had been a Democrat and you had had this belief about the molar investigation that it was competent it was a big run by serious capable professionals for all the right reasons and that it would producing results they would clearly get rid of this this monster you believe is President Trump and you've been living with that belief a solidly for however two years whatever what happens to your mental health when you find out none of that was true that there was not really a real investigation because the steel the steel dossier thing was just ignored I'm not sure you could call that a real investigation there were real stuff that happened and the real professionals who
[24:47]
happened and the real professionals who did real things but I don't know that you even got up or got anything there was a investigation and then when it was done he comes up with this cryptic were not exonerating you for the president guess what he also didn't exonerate me because that's not his job either do you know he'll see didn't exonerate his dog Muller did not exonerate his own dog from being a murderer because that's not his job he doesn't exonerate dogs he doesn't exonerate anybody he's not an exaggerator so for him to say in his report I'm not exonerating anybody when in fact his job is neither to is never to exonerate it's nobody's job was that doing a good job it's not no when you put that phrase we're not exonerating the president in your report you're not a you can't be taken seriously because that is just a political statement it is
[25:48]
that is just a political statement it is meant for a political audience and it's the opposite of what he was supposed to be doing you're supposed to be helping the country heal or at least you know get to the facts didn't do it didn't do it now if you had been taken and so badly abused by your own media sources what would you say about them after going through this experience what do you say to yourself well they only got one wrong cuz you know you if you cabinet it that way you'd say well that's one topic the molar report they got one wrong but it wasn't just one it was walled wall coverage it was the main thing and then when you look at things like the the fine people hoax you know the idea that the president called neo-nazis fine people when you can just look at the video and see that he said they should be condemned totally the opposite of how it's reported if you're a Democrat and
[26:50]
it's reported if you're a Democrat and that's the only thing you saw you'd say yeah I'll just still believe my the thing I believed before I saw the facts because the little stuff you can sort of just act like it didn't happen you know our brains are good at just ignoring any evidence that goes against what we believe but the smaller thing is so big is so big and what the anti-trump errs believed about it was so wrong that they they must have at some point a track record of being completely wrong about who would get the nomination to be Republican completely wrong about Trump winning completely wrong about what would happen if he did win completely wrong about the economy completely wrong about his success overseas completely and thoroughly wrong about everything important that's that's their life completely wrong about everything and now this Mahler report comes out the thing that they had hoped would be the
[27:50]
thing that they had hoped would be the the thing that saved them from all of the other wrongness think about this had they been had they been wrong about Trump getting elected and all of the other stuff had they been wrong about that but if Mahler had come in and said oh you weren't really wrong it's only because the Russians got an elected and he's a bad seed just like you always thought so it turns out that although he didn't predict the events very well you were still right about the big story so the Mullen report gave that the anti-trump errs at least the hope they even though they had guessed wrong about outcomes who would win what would happen with the economy and that sort of thing that they'd still be right and the big picture that that Trump was a big Russian including monster and that's the only reason they got elected if that could be right if there was a world in which that were true then they were not insane for the last three years that's a pretty big
[28:54]
last three years that's a pretty big deal Muller was their last hope to tell themselves they hadn't been insane for three years I'm not I'm not exaggerating Muller was their last hope to learn about their own mental health and find out if they had been good or had they been actually mentally distressed and crazy for three years and what Muller told them unambiguously was they had been crazy for three years and wrong about everything for three years and didn't know it it was the last the last little hope when you hear Phil Mudd say we should just Democrat should just shut up about the Muller report now and focus on health care that tells you that all of the other stuff were lies or hoaxes or just wrong he's not even saying Phil
[29:55]
or just wrong he's not even saying Phil Mudd is not even saying and we better talk about the economy because the economy's doing well Phil Mudd is not saying yeah we'd better get somebody else in here because there might be a nuclear war as there ever better president who took us at further from the risk of nuclear war than this president never no president has ever gotten you further from nuclear war than this one and even his opponents know that so there's nothing left by health care and the news this morning is that the administration is floating some plans to drastically cut the prices that at least the government pays for health for pharmaceuticals so I think there might be some cracks in the - movie situation most people probably 80% of all the people who were anti chompers will find
[30:55]
people who were anti chompers will find some tortured way - to maintain their hatred against all evidence they'll find something that they can hold on to but I'll tell you when it came became clear that Omar and Talib were were essentially just racists and our racists that certainly takes a bite out of your your hatred for the president doesn't it when you find out that the people on your side are unambiguously racist and guess what from now until Election Day I'm gonna be calling them racist every time they tweet out something at least that's on that topic but the old videos yeah the old videos of interviews with Omar the tweets that both tell it and Talib and or have made are just clearly racist there's no question about it at so we'll label it and once people realize that
[31:55]
label it and once people realize that all of these topics sounds a little bit racist if you if you're talking about it people are gonna realize that sorry my technology is talking to me so I think you can find that there may be a solid chunk of Democrats who just say oh my goodness I was taken this is so embarrassing dude at what point do Democrats just feel embarrassed I don't even know if that's a thing here's when we make another prediction for you are you ready AOC who can be a bit racist herself AOC is going to soon learn that her brand AFC's brand is being diminished substantially by omar and may be too late too late I always pronounce her name wrong I believe that a or C will
[32:57]
name wrong I believe that a or C will someday in the future know it might not be this year but a or C you will find some distance between herself and Omar in particular I think she's gonna need some distance because for her own benefit the average of her brand is being lowered a OC by herself is pretty powerful a oc+ Omar plus Talib is is a I know C+ so she has allowed herself to to have her average taken down from again you don't have to agree with their policies this is not the point this but in terms of effectiveness she's sort of an A+ for effectiveness but when she's put into the squad which the Republicans were happy to do the Presley sort of disappears I would say she's not important to the conversation she's just part of the squad but Omar and tell Abe
[33:59]
part of the squad but Omar and tell Abe Talib Omar and Talib somebody's helping me with the pronunciation here they are so bad for a overseas brand I think she's probably gonna create some distance eventually she'll be forced to do that for rune benefit so that's what I say I have pinned the slaughter meter at 300% so the odds of a Trump re-election slaughter is essentially guaranteed if nothing changed but something might change oh by the way there's a news report that of all things what what a weird coincidence that Michael and L the my pillow guy might consider running for omar's seat can you imagine if Michael and L the pillow guy the my pillow guy if he ran against Omar could that be any better come on
[34:59]
could that be any better come on that would be just the best thing ever from a from an entertainment perspective first of all you'd probably win because as I've noted he really knows how to do this stuff as a public communicator he's used one of the best you'll ever see so he could actually just walk into politics and - mark very few people could do that but he can walk into a political situation for Congress maybe not as a senator maybe not president maybe not right away but for Congress he can walk into any district and I think he'd be the front-runner pretty quickly what do you order my thoughts on Dan and Crenshaw somebody's saying very similar to what the president thinks of Dan Crenshaw Crenshaw has a very very strong game both politically and say charisma wise and social media wise so he has Crenshaw
[36:01]
and social media wise so he has Crenshaw has the tools the President Trump has without some of the rough edges so he's got a little more credit and probably a lot more credibility because he's got the military service behind a wounded veteran but he's also got the full game so he's got the communication skills he's got the persuasion he's got the social media he's got the risk management he looks like he's got a full toolbox that's my guess so I would say that Crenshaw takes a little bit more seasoning and then I would hate to run against him for president can you imagine some poor bastard will Sunday I don't know when probably not that the next cycle or two but some poor bastard is gonna have to run for president against Crenshaw I would place my bet already and I don't even know who's running who will be running against I was saying the odds isn't running for president are very high someday and
[37:01]
president are very high someday and whoever is running against him you could just place your bet today it's like you don't even need to know the other name you know just wrong as candidate in the world on the Democrat side and you don't even tell me the name because I'll tell you crayons did Crenshaw would win it all right the eye patch is good branding it kind of is yeah yep it kind of in US it's weird that Crenshaw could turn that into a positive but he did he did Oh somebody says Crenshaw is born in the UK is that true what I'd like to hear more about that I don't know if that's true
borrow reinstated the federal death penalty this morning really for what I got a look at that while you're still here hold on
[38:07]
federal death penalty that would probably be on Fox the reasons not looking at I want to say has to do with I don't see yet on the top pages so wait on that with the I heard his perception that's a weird question all right I think we said what we need to say I've got more more followers than usual but I have less to say so that's all for today and I will talk to you later
