then tenten tenten boom boom hey everybody come on in here get in here will there be cursing today well I don't know it's early I can't tell ya it sneaks up on me but one thing I do know is that the people who are nimble of finger the people who woke up early you are available for the simultaneous hip it's one of the things ever and all you need you know all you need is a cover of marker glasses mr. Stein can cellist anchor thermos flask and team ground goblet vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better the simultaneous scent go oh yes yes yes
[1:07]
the simultaneous scent go oh yes yes yes yes I would like to start out with an impression and this will be my impression of what I call Don Lemon face now Don Lemon face is not limited to see it and anchor Don Lemon it's sort of a CN n face but Don Lemon does it the best and I was watching him do it in which he was talking about the Trump campaign put out a put anomie m-- showing Trump as Thanos from the movie one of the Avengers movies where he snaps his fingers and all the seven impeachment two democrats disappear into dust and i would like to do Don Lemon face my impression which is how you turn a perfectly funny meme which has no real meaning in the world except it's funny
[2:09]
meaning in the world except it's funny into a dreadful dreadful thing right here is here's a normal person looking at a humorous meme it's pretty good to forget did you catch that that's a normal person watching a funny meme I'll do it again watch it's pretty good yeah it's sort of subtle probably don't laugh out loud you're just looking at your phone or your computer now I'd like to give an impression of Don Lemon having just view the same meme on live TV what what Oh what is wrong with them what oh what oh now the key to it if you'd like to do Don Lemon to face at home the key to it is all up here this part of your face
[3:10]
is all up here this part of your face right above the nose you need to get their wrinkle see this is this is non Don Lemon face and then this is the wrinkle there keep the wrinkle you got to get a couple of good wrinkles there your eyes need to look sad keep the mouth down keep the mouth down like this what what all right I hope you've all learned that that's that's called Don Lemon face and it's how you turn something funny into something horrible horrible now I'd like to show you that you can do Don Lemon face for almost anything it works for every object I'll I'll find a random object on my desk here all right here's a bottle of water here would be normal face when having the bottle of water bottle of water kicked I'll taste my bottle of water good water mmm okay that's the normal
[4:13]
good water mmm okay that's the normal face now I wanted to give you Don Lemon face when you've been given some water from a trump campaign
but I don't I don't know what to say is oh my god whoa kid are we children I think water are you serious now water all right I think that's enough of that possibly too much so here's my big so the the funniest thing when there's news like there was yesterday is watching the losing team try to explain it now the losing team in this case is CNN and
[5:15]
losing team in this case is CNN and everybody on the Left who's been promoting various fake news for I guess three years so CNN always trots out their their opinion people to try to paper over the the fake news and Stefan Collinson is my favorite one favorite because his opinion pieces are so laughably absurd that they they read like humor to me and I'm not even joking I actually read them all the way through and I'm giggling the whole time because of how much work he has to do to turn good things and the bad things and vice versa so this is what sentence from Stefan Collinson article today Donald Trump is looking to survive impeachment the same way he built his powerful presidency by assaulting facts and seeking to expand the limitations of the office he is accused of abusing does that sound even slightly similar to the
[6:20]
that sound even slightly similar to the major news of yesterday when you hear this sentence does that map to what you experienced yesterday would you watch the news because I did not see the president expanding the limitations of his office of course he's always assaulting facts but but I don't know which one in particular because it does seem to me that the Horowitz thing pretty much pretty much completely cleared Evan Eunice's view of what the findings would be completely showed that Adam Schiff was lying about what he saw before we got to see the phone Horowitz report so now that you know with complete clarity that the some of the worst claims that the president was making about the FBI were all true all true what do you do
[7:21]
were all true all true what do you do with that
so CNN is spinning and looking for some way to make this a bad thing for the president but it's not now you may have noticed that yesterday I was in a bad mood anybody anybody catch that some of you may have noticed I was a little bit a little bit mad and I was trying to examine why it was that I was so mad yesterday and I actually didn't know I was actually wondering if it was you know some some cold meds I'd taken or what it was and so I went back and I looked at the the video clip that triggered me it was a video clip of the seven Democrats pretending to be sad while they announced the impeachment impeachment grounds I guess and here's here I guess
[8:21]
grounds I guess and here's here I guess what's bothering me when President Trump fails the fact-checking it's because he's failing a fact an actual fact so in other words he says the fact and then the fact checkers say no the fact is this so there's a difference of a fact and I've said this often but when the president does that is either a trivial difference meaning in the real world that doesn't make any difference or it's directionally correct in other words you might exaggerate thing that's good or exaggerated something that's bad but that's good leadership style if you're a leader it does help though in other words it's just useful for the job of leader to exaggerate what you did well so people have confidence and they they think the economy is going to be doing well and they they invest and likewise it's good to exaggerate what's going wrong so that people will pay attention and they'll put resources there etc so
[9:22]
and they'll put resources there etc so the way the president fails the fact-checking is in a way that is either benign or useful typically I'm not sure maybe somebody can find an exception but as a general rule of his 13,000 or so violations of the fact-checking they're either benign or leadership useful now compare that to what Adam shifted which is read you read the investigation materials ahead of time and then completely lie about it just blatantly lie about what was in it while Devon newness read the same materials and now we know that's confirmed that Devon earnest was completely accurate mostly about the FISA abuse and now that we know that compared Adams shifts lie to the way the president fails the fact-checking was shift sly unimportant
[10:26]
fact-checking was shift sly unimportant it was not it was really really important we're talking about lies that could pull apart the entire Republic were they directionally correct in other words were they moving the country in a positive direction not even a chance because everything was going well the economy was going well etc removing a sitting president especially this close to an election is all bad there's no good in that and the transparent really stupid lie that the Democrats are telling is well we've got to be careful because he's gonna use another country again to try to try to rig the election is the weakest rationalization anybody ever heard so I don't think you can compare the president's continuous departure from
[11:27]
president's continuous departure from the facts which he even labels as hyperbole I mean he told us before he was elected literally wrote a book called the art of the deal in which he says in clear language I use hyperbole hyperbole works really well and then he used it in the election anyone and then he uses it as president and and things are going really well in the economy and in general now so I this is a long way of saying here's what I figured out about what bothered me so much about the 7 the 7 dwarfs the Democrats who announced impeachment what bothered me was they weren't lying about facts because when you lie about facts that just feels routine doesn't it you know if you see a politician lying over facts doesn't matter if it's a Democrat or a Republican you kind of just brush that off right because you like yeah you know
[12:28]
off right because you like yeah you know you brush that off but here I think is what was bothering me the Democrats were not at least in that announcement about the impeachment articles they were not lying about facts because they weren't really presenting facts they were lying emotionally what I mean was there was seven people that you know were glad to be there and glad to be announcing impeachment for the president they've been working for three years to make it make it happen and they were actually
lying with their faces about their emotions and thank you oh stop it and I wanted to call up a picture of this you can actually see the seven of them because they all had to work hard at at unhappy face and I have to tell you that there's
[13:30]
face and I have to tell you that there's the way it registers with me is completely different if you lie about a fact while doing the job of politician what is your what is your impression about that well the first thing I say is is it you know is it hyperbole in the right direction is it a trivial lie it's just something somebody says to bolster the record or whatever simple factual lies don't mean a lot in politics because we we just discount them but an emotional lie makes me want to kill them not really nobody should get killed I'm just saying that from a just a biological reflex when I see all seven of them lying emotionally to pretend it that it's a solemn moment when you know it's not that doesn't it doesn't hit me the same
[14:31]
that doesn't it doesn't hit me the same way that feels much the way let me give you an example when you go to buy a car you know how the dealer always lies to you to your face I hate buying cars now I'm capable of negotiating well you know I can do it but I hate the process more than I hate any other fake commercial process and the reason is that the car salesman looks you right in the eye and lies to you while he knows that you know he's lying to you that's not the same as anything else because usually when you lie you've got some expectation that the person is at least uncertain well might be true or baby they believe it that would be an ordinary but when you know somebody's lying and this is the part that gets me they know that you know they're lying right to you
[15:34]
that you know they're lying right to you right to your face I don't know if we can do this we're losing money on this deal I'd better talk to my manager in the back I'm I'd like to get you the deal I'm gonna do what I can with my manager to try to get you the good deal now when the car dealer lies to you like that he's lying to you in facts but he's also lying to you emotionally he's looking you right in the eye and pretending that he's working for you instead of himself and his boss you know none of that's true you know it with complete certainty there's no ambiguity in that situation whatsoever and so there's gonna be a little swearing coming up are you ready if you got you know young ones at home your mouse on won't be a lot of swearing in this one but what I'm talking about car salesman
[16:36]
I hate him all right so I don't have that reaction to anybody else in the commercial world if I'm negotiating with somebody which I do all the time you know be even being a cartoonist I have lots of contracts and negotiations and of course you you know that the other side is exaggerating and playing their case and you know you're doing your thing all Dorma but the car dealer looks you right in the eye and lies to you when you know he's lying and you know he knows you're lying and he lies emotionally and factually that I hate him every time I've never bought a car without walking out absolutely hating the salesperson every time so so that's the experience that I had watching the seven Democrats it was like the car salesman pretending oh I'm working for you I'm gonna try to get you in a good car oh all right so I'll try to calm down
[17:39]
all right so I'll try to calm down you see what it did today like I was completely in a good mood before I even started talking about that topic but when people lie to you emotionally and you know they're lying to you emotionally and they won't drop the act I just have no use for them I have no use for them the Democrats now are saying that multiple impeachments are likely in other words if this this one doesn't work they'll just they'll just queue up another one doesn't that dismiss the entire system as nothing but BS I mean even if you even if you were on the fence and you thought to yourself well maybe there's something to this impeachment stuff wouldn't that tell you there's nothing to it isn't that all you need to know so let's talk about a few other things
[18:41]
representative Matt gates continues to be the most entertaining Republican who is not named President Trump he had a line and a tweet that was really good if you remember the the testimonies the other day in the House Judiciary Committee and one of the people testifying was actually a major Democratic donor which is mind-boggling when you think about it that there was a lawyer there who was a major donor to the Democratic report II trying to pretend as if he's just being a lawyer that day and here's how Matt Gaetz describes it in his tweet he said Gates goes where I'm from you stand behind your work if representative Adam Schiff really believes the president should be impeached Jeff should have shown up and taken our questions instead it was quote take your donor to work day in the House Judiciary Committee take your donor to work day that's really good
[19:44]
work day that's really good take your donor to work day
the reason that's good is that you you read it and then you chuckle about it for an hour or later because it's like that's pretty good take your daughter to work day alright so keep an eye on Matt Gaetz because he's going to be your president someday don't know when but someday you should read an article in Rolling Stone by Matt Taibbi Matt Taibbi as you know is well he isn't a small group of I don't know on the planet earth or what seven billion people or so there are probably five or maybe six people on the entire planet who were capable of writing an objective article about politics I seriously I'm not even joking there might be five or six people on the whole stupid planet of seven billion people who are even capable much
[20:46]
billion people who are even capable much less willing but just capable of writing an objective article so he did it again every time Matt Taibbi writes something if I see it I'm probably gonna recommend it because it's just such good writing so he he called out one he's really good at getting to the central heart of things and you know yesterday was very confusing because the news was just this dense wall of claims and counterclaims and so waiting for somebody like Taibbi to pull out the things that are worth knowing is really good practice because he's sort of look he's penetrating the complexity and because he's such a good writer he can find the way to simplify it to the parts you want to know here's an example this is from tigey's article in Rolling Stone he says in one episode an FBI attorney inserted the words quote not a source in an email he'd received from another government agency this disguised the
[21:48]
government agency this disguised the fact the page talking about Carter page had been an informant for that agency what somehow I missed this yesterday I think I sort of heard it but maybe I didn't you know there was just so much going on I heard it and it just got lumped in with all of the things I was hearing but there was an actually FBI attorney key word attorney who inserted the words in other words this was a choice not in not an oversight he put into a document that wasn't already there the words not a source when that was exactly the opposite of what Carter Page was he had been a source and if the paperwork had known that all along in other words if the FISA Court had known that along it could have changed their opinion of things it certainly would have changed my opinion of things
[22:51]
and then then that attorneys email got passed along and ended up being part of the process for the FISA warrant against page now there are some things you could look at and say to yourself well maybe that's incompetence and maybe this is incompetence the thing you can't rule out is that this FBI attorney didn't know it's possible I mean maybe you didn't know but certainly this is either well here's the thing if the FBI attorney didn't know if Carter page had ever been a source if he didn't know how could he be sure that it wasn't so somebody says it was a typo well maybe possible so I suppose it could have been a mistake but that's that one you really have to pay attention to and then I had not heard
[23:52]
attention to and then I had not heard this exact quote from the horowitz report because you know all the talk is about whether the steel dossier was essential or non-essential and this is what Horowitz said quote we determined that the cross for our hurricane teams receipt of Steel's election reporting on September 9 played a central and essential role and the FBI is and Department's decision to seat the FISA order it was central and essential meaning it wouldn't have happened without it that is a big deal because we know now that the steel dossier was completely debunked and fairly early on and then the Horowitz report this is according to tie be said is especially hostile to shifts claim that the FBI provided additional information obtained through multiple independent sources that corroborated Steele's reporting in other
[24:53]
corroborated Steele's reporting in other words that was an absolute and complete lie from chef now she has stood in from the country and told these lies multiple times I believe and these are lies that could actually destroy the Republic here's my question Congress what are you doing about Adam Schiff now I've heard all the claims against the President and I've dismissed them as largely unimportant but somebody says you're lying Scott well I'm not but you just got banned goodbye all right I could be mistaken um but I'm certainly not lying all right and and so I ask that question again so there's this character who we know with complete certainty now Adam chef we know that he was lying we know that he know he knew he was lying
[25:53]
that he know he knew he was lying because it's obvious what he looked at and then it's obvious what he said he looked at which is just effort so we know he's been lying now for years and that the net effect of that was to almost remove a president from office and to put the country into terrible turmoil and so I ask yourself could you trust the Republican Party if they did not try to have him removed from his job because I don't know you know what it takes to be removed as a representative or as a senator if maybe the process is a little different for each so I don't know what the process is but they do have the process for things that are just so bad that you have to get rid of them and doesn't chef have to go now maybe maybe it won't be successful but
[26:54]
can you seriously tell me that the Republicans would be doing the job of the people if they don't at least try now I'm sure the Democrats will protect him but doesn't the country need to see why he's done to the country I mean he's attacked the country for his political advantage he actually attacked the country that is the worst thing I've ever seen from from the politician I think who wasn't named Hillier all right let's see what else we got going on are you sick of the phrase from the Democrats we can walk and chew gum at the same time so they keep saying that and they're saying it especially connected to the u.s. MCA which it looks like that there's now some movement to get that thing passed we'll see Mitchell Connell strategically delayed it so that they can't get their victory the Democrats can't have anything good
[27:56]
the Democrats can't have anything good for Christmas but also neither can the country so I have mixed feelings about Mitch McConnell delaying that until after a Pietschmann it's politically and strategically it's probably pretty clever nobody said that Mitch McConnell is not clever probably pretty clever but does that help you you and me let me ask you if everybody on both sides Democrats and Republicans agree that this us MCA thing is very important and they're apparently there are enough votes people think it'll get passed pretty easily what do you think of Mitch McConnell saying that he'll delay it for a month or whatever to get past the impeachment hearings what do you think of that how can you like that can you make any argument that Mitch McConnell is doing
[28:57]
argument that Mitch McConnell is doing the work of the people by delaying this for a purely naked political purposes no Mitch McConnell you this this law is supported by the left and the right and it's good for the people of the country and you just delayed it you
you just elated a month just to make a shower Justin but to score some points you are a sorry did I tell you I wasn't gonna swear anymore how can you be happy with your own team let's say you're a Republican if you're a Republican how could you be happy with Mitch McConnell delaying for a month something that's good for the country unambiguously and everybody wants it and the votes are there and the Democrats have said we can walk and chew gum at the same time we can certainly take a vote how can you support Mitch McConnell delaying that thing just to make a score a cheap political point he needs to be voted out of office for
[29:58]
he needs to be voted out of office for that alone all right seriously if he had it if Mitch McConnell had you know whatever he's got 40 years of great service and you thought you know every better that was great everything he did for 40 years I agreed with it was terrific still delaying this for a month for no reason other than politics should get you fired if he worked for any of you if you were his boss and he delayed this for month when the entire country knows it's good for the country and he did it for naked political reasons no question about it there's no ambiguity you know there's nobody arguing the other side wouldn't you fire him I mean you should right you should fire him immediately that's a fireable offense in the normal business world no matter what your record is so Mitch McConnell you got some explainin to do there because I think you should be fired for that all
[30:58]
think you should be fired for that all right as if firing is a real thing all right let's see what else we got there's some chatter according to Politico the Joe Biden who's already 77 is sort of talking softly privately about maybe being a one-term president so Joe Biden is trying to soften the impact of his age by saying you know I just do one little term I won't be running for reelection when I'm in my 80s I'll be serving as president in my 80s but I won't run for re-election so just give me one term a little transitional term just just to get us out of the Trump ear and then you know we'll work it out after that so and then some advisors apparently are thinking well maybe he should announce it because otherwise his side will be spooked that they might like him now but even they might be
[31:59]
like him now but even they might be worried about a second term so they're thinking maybe it'd be better if we just say right from the start he's just gonna do one term what would you think of that idea from a persuasion perspective from a persuasion perspective Biden's dead either way the the fact that he's talking about not being able to be confident for a second term because that's really what this is if Biden is talking about in advance saying I won't run for a second term he is really acknowledging that he's too old would you vote for a president who couldn't reasonably serve a second term well in this special case maybe but I don't think this is one so that looks more like Biden has no chance than anything I've seen because that's his own team saying he doesn't have a chance it's one thing when the opponent's say you can't
[33:01]
thing when the opponent's say you can't win but if your own team is telling you maybe just one term one's good you don't need two terms one might be good if you're hearing that from your own team you don't have a chance I guess birdie is surging in some polls
but could Bernie have any chance of winning in the general election I'm trying to think who would lose the hardest in a general election let me let me ask you this question who would lose the hardest in the general election wouldn't it be Bernie don't you think Bernie would lose the hardest it here's my thinking Elizabeth Warren is younger and energetic fresh you know she hasn't already lost the presidential election but she at least she's got the woman thing going for her so she'll at least get women
[34:01]
so she'll at least get women what does Bernie get Bernie has got his big socialist plan that will destroy the entire economy as far as we know and it will take the best to come and we've ever had and it'll basically eviscerate it how in the world does that beat Trump because Bernie you know it doesn't have a natural constituency within the Democratic Party you know he's not black he's not a woman he's not a he's not gay he's not anything he's just a boring old white guy with the worst economic plan that's ever been conceived how does that win if you replaced him with aoc I'd be telling you something different if you just switched out Bernie for a I'm saying let's say she when she was old enough to run for president I would have a completely different opinion because I'd say oh no no AI would say she's gonna get women she's gonna get people to color she's gonna get people who just
[35:02]
to color she's gonna get people who just say she's talking hyperbolically maybe they don't believe that she's gonna do what what they think Bernie would do if you if you just slotted in aoc to replace Bernie I'd say that that would be a dangerous candidate but Bernie that's that's Trump landslide material there's more chatter about Clinton Hillary Clinton getting into the race at the last minute and apparently she's even pulling pulling near that pulling at the top if she were to jump in tomorrow the Democrats would prefer her but but the preference is only let like 21 percent and then the second best would be a 21 20 percent so now really I I would say that if you only have 21 percent and you actually won the popular vote the last car out and this time you're down to 21 percent if people have my choices you or other candidates I
[36:02]
my choices you or other candidates I don't know how you read statistics but the way I read it as if only 21 percent would want Hillary Clinton in the race even if that's the highest percentage of all the other candidates it's only 21 percent she won the popular vote just recently if you're already down to 21 percent your party is sickie you so I will say again the Hillary Clinton and this is a compliment Hillary Clinton is very smart generally speaking right now I I know I always say you hate it when I do this when I give a compliment to people that you don't like but I always think it's important it's a good practice for you or let's say you're biased checking it's just a good practice to make sure that you can compliment somebody on the other side for something something that they do well and Hillary Clinton's is super
[37:03]
do well and Hillary Clinton's is super smart and if you're super smart you know this is a bad move to get into the race now even your own party would hate your guts so the slaughter meters at 200 percent
all right um Tom cotton Senator Tom cotton has introduced some legislation or I guess he's about to they expect him to in which it would subject the cartels the Mexican cartels to terrorist group designations so that we could use some of the tools that we use against terrorism I don't think this includes military action I think it's more about banking and you know what kind of penalties they get if they're quiet cetera but some have suggested that that would extend it to if somebody was a just a drug dealer in this country and they were selling drugs that they got
[38:03]
they were selling drugs that they got from the cartel that they could get a life sentence for selling presumably opioids that came from the cartel ask me what I think of that down I would say that any dealer in the United States who is selling fentanyl and I will make a I'll make an exception for quantity alright if you're just somebody who bought some pills to share with your friends or something you're technically a dealer but that's not really what I'm talking about I'm talking about somebody whose job their actual job is to sell fentanyl into the United States and they know that fentanyl came from the cartel under those those situations I'm in favor of a life sentence for the dealer or for execution I would also be in favor of capital punishment for a fentanyl dealer in the United States who did it as a job not not just somebody who casually passed them on now as you
[39:05]
who casually passed them on now as you know the President of Mexico as asked President Trump to sort of hold off on designating the cartels as a terrorist organization I don't know if this tom cotton legislation is coming up is exactly the same as what the president was talking about in designated in them a terrorist organization I don't know I don't know if they if they overlap or map together but you know the President of Mexico said hold off on that and is there any other way to intern that other than the Mexican government is is unable to move against the cartels because it's just too dangerous it makes me wonder if you shouldn't have some kind of an international let's say let's say an international what do you call it mercenary army who is let's say associated with some other country or or maybe there let's say it's an international mercenary armory so that
[40:08]
international mercenary armory so that the members of the army are coming from lots of different countries so that no single country can be blamed and let's say their funding is on is ambiguous let's say the funding is ambiguous so you don't even know who funded them could you send somebody like that down to deal with the cartels because nobody knows who their family members are you know they wouldn't even have real identities and stuff so that there could be no retaliation directly because you wouldn't even know what country you wouldn't know who is funding them you don't know who their families are you need some kind of an Untouchables situation against the cartels so perhaps all right all right here's the question let me just ask this question I don't know if this is legal or illegal so I'm not suggesting it because I think I might go to jail if I suggest it so I'm just going to ask the question whether this is like a thing that could work or not work suppose you had some kind of go fund me
[41:10]
suppose you had some kind of go fund me where the public could contribute by crypto let's say they could buy Bitcoin and fund this thing I don't know doesn't the details no matter but that you could fund mercenaries for a specific purpose and the specific purpose would be to to take care of the cartels suppose it was just publicly funded and it was funded by millions of Americans who gave a few dollars well the cartels are not going to get revenge against an American who donated ten dollars to go fund me that went to you know that you know you'd all be safe because she only gave ten dollars and there would be millions of you so it wouldn't even necessarily have to be the US government could you would it be legal in other words in this country would it be legal to start a GoFundMe that's only purpose was to hire a mercenary army to go kill
[42:13]
was to hire a mercenary army to go kill the cartels is that is that legal yeah I don't know could somebody tell me if that is that's crowdsourcing a contract hit and it's still illegal is it let's say let's say you would it be illegal to do a contract hit on a known terrorists maybe it might be actually could you do a contract hit on the head of Isis you know knowing that the government also wanted to kill him but let's say that you were a private citizen and you put together a mercenary and you killed the same terrorist that the United States was actively also trying to kill would that be illegal it might be it might be now let's say it is illegal in this country to have a to have a gofundme that puts a hit on an individual would
[43:16]
that puts a hit on an individual would it be illegal to have a go fund me their funds a defensive military I don't know because you're not really targeting individuals it's a security situation so I know I just have some questions but my my main point here is that the cartels have probably grown so powerful that governments can't can't deal with them and if governments can't deal with them you need another process what is the other process if it's not governments what is it and the United States doesn't want to go rogue because you know we have to be a respectful nation and deal with especially our neighbor nations on a government-to-government you know was a traditional way so even our government can't go down there and solve that problem because their government can't do it so what do you do
[44:19]
government can't do it so what do you do if governments can solve the problem what do you do could you create any legal situation that would allow people to donate money to a paramilitary organization to go take care of it I don't know I know somebody says no it's not legal to privately fund assassinations but what if it's not an assassination what if it's a defensive force and you say there the cartels are attacking the United States killing tens of thousands of people a year all true through their drugs if you defend against that is it illegal to pay somebody to guard your house it's probably illegal to hire a guard to hunt somebody down and shoot him that's probably illegal but let's agree that's illegal all right apparently the reason that the quid pro quo and the bribery stuff was taken out of the articles of impeachment is that
[45:21]
of the articles of impeachment is that they could be used against Biden that just tells you everything about how messed up the system is that the primary thing the primary problem that they were wanted to impeach the president for they ended up taking it out because it would it would take out their primary candidate he was polling at the top of the polls that tells you everything right is there anything else you need to know then they had to change their articles of impeachment so it didn't take out their own guy kind of funny
here here's a line or I forgot to read this this was also from CNN's Stephan Collinson in his opinion piece and he said though former special counsel robert muller did not find a conspiracy between the Trump's team and russia he did find alarming evidence that the president expected to profit from Russian election meddling and I thought
[46:23]
Russian election meddling and I thought to myself really does that is that a true statement that the president expected to profit from Russian election meddling did you see anything like that from the Muller report because that looks new to me would you say that's an accurate statement now how do we know what the president expected isn't that a mind-reading thing we might know for example that the president asked in public for Russia to you know give us Hillary's email or something which most of us took as a joke but did he expect the profit like he expected that would work at what point was he expecting to profit you know the the article just slips us in here without any backup or quote from the report that would support this statement that the president expected to profit from a Russian election meddling what I feel
[47:27]
Russian election meddling what I feel like that was just something made up I mean it must be based on some kind of thinking but I don't really know what it came from all right and more bad news for Democrats I would say Democrats had one of the worst days they've ever had yesterday wouldn't you say you always have to watch your bias because it's easy to think your team won even when the other team thinks they want so wouldn't you say what's your opinion it looks to me like yesterday was the most devastating and crushing day of defeat for the Democrats that I've maybe ever seen in my lifetime I can't think of any individual day that was worse for Democrats in terms of their future as a party than yesterday can you well what give me one example of anything has ever been worse let's say
[48:27]
anything has ever been worse let's say in my lifetime worse for Democrats any day that was ever worse than that I can't fake the one you can think of days that were worse for Republicans Richard Nixon getting impeached that's bad day for Republicans well what was a worst day for Democrats that was pretty bad in more fake news Trump is getting ready to sign or maybe he signed an executive order to protect Jews in this country so I don't know the details it's a little confusing but there's something about the way things are classified that is incomplete and so in order to have the rule give added protection to Jews in this country there's some executive order that needs to add a little bit extra protection so this is Trump signing an executive order that the American Jewish population
[49:30]
that the American Jewish population wants is for their benefit they've asked for it it is directly and expressly only for protecting that part of the American population what did the New York Times tweet well the New York Times botched the tweet and made it sound like it was something it wasn't and that kicked off a wave of attacks on the president for being anti-semitic that's right everything you need to know about politics is in this one story the president did something that the Jewish population of this country asked for and wanted and is unambiguously good for them as well as the rest of us because it's you know it's protecting them as a classroom I think from hate crimes and by protecting that part of the population and then the fake news gets in and reverses its meaning and then
[50:34]
in and reverses its meaning and then turns it into an anti-semitic thing literally the opposite of what it was
however in funnier news apparently yesterday Joe Biden was on the rally circuit our is on the campaign sir okay and once again he repeated the the known and debunked hoax that the president once called the do Nazis in Charlottesville fine people those of you who follow this periscope and pay attention know that the President did not say that they actually explicitly said that that group should be condemned totally he said that he said it in direct words but the quote when taken out of context by the fake news they can take they can take a piece of it in a context and it reverses its meaning and that's that's how the entire fine people started this as something was taken out of context well the Trump campaign
[51:34]
of context well the Trump campaign managed to dig up an old video of Joe Biden talking about the United Daughters of the Confederacy as quote an organization made up of many fine people who continue to display the Confederate flag now it was an old video so I don't know might have been twenty or thirty years old it looked pretty old but Joe Biden is out on the campaign trail complaining that the president called the racist fine people which did not happen literally the opposite of what happened fake news at the same time he's out there there's a video that the Trump campaign is tweeting around showing that he called supporters of the Confederate flag which by 2019 standards completely different than thirty years ago but by 2019 standards and by standards I don't mean everybody agrees than or now I'm
[52:36]
mean everybody agrees than or now I'm just saying that the let's say the consensus of opinion has changed that if you're displaying a confederate flag Democrats at least will think you are a racist that's her own standard the Democrats believe as a party I'm not saying you need to believe it and it's not a claim I'm making I'm just saying that the Democrats have a very strong standard that if you want to march around with a confederate flag you are a damn racist period and so Joe Biden is on tape calling them and it couldn't be funnier because he used exactly the same phrase many fine people who continued to display the Confederate flag so this brings me back to something that Tucker Carlson has been saying for a long time that the first the first 50 times I heard Tucker Carlson say this I shook my head and set talker
[53:37]
shook my head and set talker yeah that's an over claim you've gone too far you're you're dealing in some kind of magical thinking Tucker what Tucker says which I could not find any logical basis for is that whatever the Democrats accused Republicans of is what they themselves are doing and the first time he said that I said to myself that's this so partisan that's just like there's no logic there there's no there's no survey there's no I mean there's just nothing that would support the sentence there what everything the Democrats do or what they accuse the Republicans of and then day after day he shows examples of it almost every day in the headlines the Democrats are accusing Republicans of something which you can very easily show is an activity they engage in this week for example Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi were engaged in
[54:40]
Schiff and Nancy Pelosi were engaged in a massive public abuse of power while fakely claiming that the president was abusing his power to try to impeach him and I thought to myself how can this keep being true how can it be so true because I don't think there's a I don't think there's I still don't think there's any logical connection to it in other words every time they do something wrong as Democrats I don't think that they then say oh let's accuse the other side of this because we're doing it wrong I don't think it's some kind of direct connection but the number of times it's true is staggering and and it makes me think that you know Tucker's observation which he reinforces almost every night is really right on and I don't know how to explain it and it is really consistent yeah somebody says it's a hundred percent true I think that's
[55:41]
hundred percent true I think that's actually accurate that at least within the political realm it does literally seem to be true there's something close to a hundred percent of the time they're blaming you for things that are actively doing at the time or have done recently don't know why but there it is I think those are all the fun things we had to talk about today yes it is so once again I asked the question how does Adam Schiff keep his job and why aren't the Republicans going after him for this abuse of power if there's anybody who knows about a candidate who's running against Adam Schiff in California that candidate be a Democrat or be they in in a primary or be they Republican I would like to help so I'd like to offer my services if somebody's running against
[56:41]
services if somebody's running against Adam Schiff I will give you some free advice just contact me on Twitter all right that's all I got for now and I will talk to you later
