bum-bum-bum hey everybody come on in here it's time to talk about cher band yes and when you're talking about you have Pietschmann is there anything better anything better than the simultaneous F no there is not and you can enjoy it simply by grabbing your cup of mug less snifter stein jealous tankard thermos flask canteen Grail goblet vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee with my shampoos mint join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine to the day the thing that makes every sham Pietschmann day better the simultaneous it go mmhmm yep yep yep oh wait hold on hold on hold on let me try that again there's something wrong did you notice that there was an
[1:13]
did you notice that there was an impeachment vote last night I'm all confused now because there was an impeachment vote last night but this morning my coffee tastes exactly the same how is that even possible I was told to expect horrible horrible things everything will change with all this impeachment stuff so I don't know if you notice but the President of the United States the the most powerful leader in civilization re tweeted me this morning which I said if the impeachment is you must acquit that's right the one time he decides to retweet me this with a four-letter word so we we like our president now I have to warn you the that I'm back on some
[2:14]
to warn you the that I'm back on some meds for some nasal cavity problems so I started taking prednisone again and I know from past experiences that it could have a mood destabilizing effect and if you look over here you can see that my printer well you can't really tell but my printer is blinking and not working I can't tell you how close I was to throwing the printer and a second story window on periscope so you could enjoy it and I mean that literally I picked it up and I was ready to throw it out of a second-story window and then I remembered oh yeah the doctor told me yesterday that the president might my cause the mood swings so let me tell you the only reason that my printer is not already lying in a hundred pieces on the sidewalk below my house is that I
[3:16]
sidewalk below my house is that I remembered my doctor told me you know you might want to watch for these mood swings but man do I want to throw that out of window so much you can't even imagine it I mean I really do I really really want to throw it out the window and I'm not even in a bad mood I'm just mad that it didn't give me the copy I need so now I look bad see I've got the the glow of my screen that I must look at for my notes instead all right let's talk about the impeachment as you all know the Senate voted on the she impeachment I think we need name for it when there's a vote for impeachment and it is completely partisan should you call it an impeachment or is it more of a half Pietschmann is it a she impeachment if only one side is doing it is a masterpiece but are they master
[4:17]
is a masterpiece but are they master Peachy I think they're master bee because it's not affecting anything else and I think some of you saw the video of representative Talib and others laughing and joking and being so happy on their way to impeachment and one of the one of the things that I I had to wonder is why is it you know it's hard to read minds so you're only speculating what other people are thinking but what is it that the Democrats who were voting for impeachment and the Democrats who were who were supporting a Pietschmann what is it that they're hoping to accomplish because by now they've figured out it will be bad for re-election right do you think there's any Democrat at this point who doesn't already know that impeachment will only make them lose the presidency maybe lose the house they know that right because
[5:17]
the house they know that right because everybody everybody's talking about it it would be hard about to know so if they know it's going to be bad for them in terms of the election and they know that they won't actually be able to remove the president and therefore there's no benefit in terms of saving the country from his future crimes what what is left right it doesn't help them politically that has to be known by all at this point the polls are showing it etc if it doesn't help you politically and it doesn't even help you avoid the imaginary future crimes that they say he will commit what's the point and that's an actual serious question literally what are they thinking I don't know here's my best guess just speculation we cannot read minds but I'm going to throw it out there as the sort of the default assumption because all the other assumptions don't make sense it's not
[6:18]
assumptions don't make sense it's not for the country and it's not for even selfish purposes of getting elected it's got to be to feel better what you saw the video of t'lay butt laughing and dancing and so happy that she was gonna go vote to impeach the president she knew it wasn't going to remove him from office and she probably knew because everybody else knows that it wasn't even gonna hurt him in the election might help him so why was she so happy the only thing I can think of is that they believe that it will make him unhappy and that they're trying to hurt him personally they feel bullied they feel like he's a monster they feel like he's lashed out at them sometimes personally but don't you think that we've come down to a psychological problem I mean it's no longer a constitutional question really it isn't
[7:18]
constitutional question really it isn't it's not a political question anymore really it's not a legal question there's no crime allege there's really nothing left except people acting out to try to make themselves feel better in a situation in which they're feeling helpless and doomed so that's it right now I'm open to other other explanations but it feels like it's a it's done for a completely emotional reasons like a like a blanket so the the Sham Pietschmann is more like a sham Wow one of those little towels it's like everything's still the same but I feel better I feel better with my ShamWow improves she had peach but I feel I feel like that's all this left mark levin noted that in his tweet that nancy pelosi was apparently advised by left-wing Harvard Law Professor
[8:19]
by left-wing Harvard Law Professor Lawrence tribe to delay something the appeasement to the Senate so she's unilaterally sitting on the impeachment and I tweeted to be fair Pelosi sitting on the impeachment is halfway to where that impeachment needs to go
right well that's right up our ass that's what I'm talking about so it looks like we're gonna find out if Democrats can get Trump re-elected and chew gum at the same time because that's what they're doing and so far they're doing a good job because the Democrats are succeeding in getting Trump reelected and they're chewing gum I guess they can do two things at the same time so point made
Vladimir Putin weighed in with his opinion and he planted Mir Putin says
[9:21]
opinion and he planted Mir Putin says that impeachment was for a quote made-up reason even Vladimir even Vladimir Putin is laughing at impeachment and calling it a made-up raisin of course that's gonna make people think well Putin and Trump must be in bed because there are none the same scientific patron because that's how dumb we are we just assume that the world is that simple there's some it's a funny day because a lot of the tweets are hilarious today now somebody tweeted yesterday and I think many of you had the same experience if you were switching back in the channels last night between CN N and then the president's rally was that the weirdest thing in the world because when you watch the president's rally he seemed relaxed completely unbothered funny laughing having a good time looking forward to reelection the crowd loves it it's nothing but a fun night
[10:22]
loves it it's nothing but a fun night and then you go over to CNN and they're all solemn there's a sad day for the Republic wait what did the president say about representative Dingell
[Music] switch the channel over to trump
yay back to seeing them we are marinating in our own feces so the two movies on one screen was quite stark but watching the tweets after the fact was just as just as fun so here's one from maybe run the periscope right now Robert kepco he had this tweet he said
[11:24]
Robert kepco he had this tweet he said the Democrats have managed to turn impeachment into a strongly into a strongly worded letter basically they've managed to take this this very important you know constitutional thing appeasement and turned into to a stern warning yeah don't you do that
and here's another funny tweet from Katie Yankee I think it was in response to a tweet I made asking whether the Democrats are only doing this so they can feel better and and Katie tweets in narrator voice narrator but it did not make Trump feel bad and it helped him win the reelection for some reason that's funny or a narrator voice but it did not make chomp feel that it only helped him win the reelection so that
[12:25]
helped him win the reelection so that was good alright I know what you wanted you want me to talk about all right you want me to talk about president Trump's comment about representative Dingell and I don't know how to talk about this without seeming like a bad person so I'm just gonna go ahead and sounded like a bad person so if you didn't see it it's really one for the ages and if it had not happened on the same night as the impeachment it's all we'd be talking about but so the background is a representative Dingell who died earlier this year February I think he was 92 years old and he was beloved by both the Democrats and the Republicans and he was from Michigan and that's where the president was speaking his wife representative at Dingell so Debbie
[13:25]
wife representative at Dingell so Debbie Dingell is the wife and President Trump tells the story about how she came to him even though that she's she's gonna vote for impeachment and she did that she had come to him when her husband died and asked for the full sort of state treatment and President Trump said he gave gave her the a-plus treatment with lowering the flag and everything even though he didn't need to but he was showing what a good guy he was and then you know she goes she goes ahead and votes for impeachment and as the president as the president is talking about her husband who died this year like this year he died he he said that he mentioned that or she did that I figured one of the men she said that he was probably you know looking down on this day and the president quipped probably without thinking about it too
[14:26]
probably without thinking about it too much he goes more looking up in other words the president joked that Debbie Dingles recently deceased husband might be in Hell now I'm not proud of the fact that I spend 10 minutes crying at my desk they're just crying I was laughing so hard now again let me point out the joke is not what he said yeah the joke is not that it's winning that he's you know he made a joke oh he's maybe up there but maybe he's down there it's not it's not the joke it's the fact that he said it at all and I'm not gonna defend it because you don't defend you know that kind of comment but that doesn't make it less funny now I get that it probably
[15:27]
less funny now I get that it probably wasn't funny to Debbie Dingell and her family or anybody you know who found the deceased beloved I get that but I can't change the fact that it made me laugh until I was a web puddle on the floor I can't change that all right let's I'm just describing what happened and and here's the thing of course all of the all of the proper people will will be they'll be outraged they'll be outraged it's an outrage this is an outrage let me get my Dale beard how come the frost and say that's an outrage it's just an outrage I'm so ever aged look at me all outraged I'm outraged first of all Debbie Dingell probably cares and the family probably cares maybe some people who are really close to the departed they probably care
[16:27]
to the departed they probably care everybody else who says they care they're just liars nobody really cares about this this this bad joke and what I say bad I mean hilarious but inappropriate which is what makes a hilarious now let's look at the context Debbie Dingell just voted to impeach the president and overthrow an election illegitimately in my opinion because I this is my opinion I don't think the impeachment process was legitimate and I think the fact that it's completely partisan is strong evidence that so if you're Debbie Dingell and you just participated in essentially an illegitimate coup attempt trying to use you know the Constitution as your fig leaf you're kind of a piece of you kind of are
[17:28]
of you kind of are and if the President of the United States gets up in front of the public and calls you out for being a pieces yet when you're being a piece of that very day and he does it in the worst possible insulting inappropriate disrespectful way I'm not gonna care a lot I get it I get it if somebody's offended I get it I just can't find the caring to care enough about that all right so I love the fact that that Nancy Pelosi is desperately looking for some way to salvage one of the worst defeats of all time here's here's what makes it the worst defeat of all time it'll probably help the election for a trump it will probably help get more Republicans elected so it's a complete complete disaster but Pelosi has to try to salvage something
[18:29]
Pelosi has to try to salvage something out of it so the latest thing they're thinking about is not sending over the impeachment to the Senate so this is Senate can't slap it down and you know just put a cap on it but people who were smarter than me including Joel was tweeting that the Senate can still still voted down without actually receiving it I think that's I hope I'm not misinterpreting that so the Senate doesn't actually have to receive them although I think the Constitution requires that they they do but they can just vote it out and you just say well okay it's an ear so I don't know that Pelosi has any real play there I think she's trying to figure out how to minimize the loss because it's all bad even though it's supposed to supposedly good now remember I told you I told you earlier this week then Trump changes changes every room he enters so it's not the
[19:30]
every room he enters so it's not the room affecting Trump Trump changes the and the room he is entering there was impeachment and I told you that whatever you thought impeachment was a week ago whatever that word meant to you whatever whatever importance and credibility you put on that word a week ago that when Trump was done with it it wouldn't even mean the same thing like that the word impeachment would just change in our minds from this solemn important you know most critical part of our Constitution one could argue it would change into just something ridiculous and you woke up this morning and your president many of you voted for him you found that your president had been impeached and this morning what does impeachment mean to you it just doesn't mean the same thing anymore Trump completely changed what that word means to all of us now it's just a political dirty trick of no importance
[20:33]
political dirty trick of no importance it's just completely empty meaningless nothing it's like it's like he got a tattoo on his shoulder the Senate impeached it's just a tattoo it's nothing and as I said yesterday is Fitz's character because he's a bad boy if you're a bad boy and you don't have a prison record and you haven't been impeached well what kind of a bad boy are you so he's got that going for him now let's talk about Tulsi Gabbard so Tulsi Gabbard is the only person who voted at present all but two of the other Democrats voted to impeach a hundred percent of the Republicans voted not to impeach in the house and Tulsi Gabbard said that impeachment has to be a bipartisan process and and because this is obviously not bipartisan it does not meet the constitutional test so she voted present she could she didn't want
[21:34]
voted present she could she didn't want to vote against it because she thinks the president made some mistakes but she's not willing to vote for it because it's partisan and that's not what impeachment is now I said it was the smartest play of they here's why tulsi gabbard is the smartest politician in the United States today at least in the house who are we talking about today well president Trump and Pelosi of course but Tulsi which other which other politician maybe Debbie Dingell for the wrong reasons but I remember rule number one of persuasion you have to get people talking about you rule number one all right there are two parts of persuasion first get all the attention then there's all the technique of how to
[22:35]
then there's all the technique of how to be a good persuader if you don't do step one again all the attention it doesn't matter if you're good and step two because nobody's gonna see it step one get all the attention how'd she do all right those are the two parts of persuasion step one and step two how did she do on step two step one getting attention a hundred percent a hundred percent it was the best get attention move there was possible because everybody else was doing something predictable so she did something provocative controversial predictable and and who are we talking about all day long we're going to talk about Tulsi Gabbard alright so on that one dimension would you agree that's a home run just if we're just compare mentalizing right you don't have to yet have an opinion about the whole strategy just just on that one thing will you acknowledge that she got more attention and other people and that
[23:35]
attention and other people and that that's a necessary quality of persuasion okay I think you with me on that now the second part is that it's the high ground maneuver the high ground maneuver is when you let all the people argue in the weeds about was it a perfect phone call or was it a slightly imperfect phone call but was it a cry miss Demeter was it was it a hike ride was it was it miss meter what does bribery mean that's the weeds weeds weeds weeds weeds weeds if you're if you're in the weeds you're you're the small person in the conversation what would be above the weeds if it's not bipartisan it's not constitutional does it matter if the call was perfect you're not perfect if it's not even constitutional because of the partisanship doesn't matter the details of the letter don't matter the the the
[24:36]
of the letter don't matter the the the what the President did Ukraine none of it matters you know literally doesn't matter because high ground it doesn't pass the first test then it's a bipartisan thing Tulsi Gabbard found the high ground how many people had the high ground available to them a hundred percent of them all right well well this would only apply to the Democrats but within the Democrat world 100 percent of them had available to them that play and the play was I'm gonna rise above this yes I think the president did something wrong if they do I don't but if they do they can say that that's that's a fair opinion and then rise above it only one person saw the free money laying on the table yeah there's somebody saying the comments free money there was a big frickin pile of free money sitting on the table free money in the form of attention and the right kind of
[25:38]
attention and the right kind of attention because it's high ground attention it's not just attention for doing something dumb or stupid or provocative it's the high ground for protecting the Constitution at the most aggressive way now what did all of her detractors say to me today when I said it was a brilliant a plus play they said to me Scott Scott Scott you freaking idiot Scott they didn't say that but it was implied they said her vote voting present is the opposite of being brave it's the opposite of taking a stand if you don't take a stand on such an important thing you're being a coward and you're being wishy-washy and you are not being a leader that's what people said to me to which I say well that's about the dumbest opinion I've ever heard in my life there were not two positions and you could vote one way or the other there were always three she found the
[26:42]
there were always three she found the third one it was the right one because he got her all the attention and his supported the Constitution at the highest level you know the concept level without the weeds not only was it brave because she's being you know castigated by both sides it was very brave it was the bravest thing you could do to take the least popular view if she had taken either a yes or no view half of the country would said we love you she took the view that guarantees both sides are going to be pissed off at her for now for now getting both sides pissed off at you isn't always bad in the long run if it also accomplishes getting all the attention it's what President Trump does he makes half of the world pissed off while getting all the attention and that he uses the attention as his tools and he works with that then he becomes
[27:43]
works with that then he becomes president so voting president is the opposite of being on the fence that is a very specific decision with very clear direction about why it's the high ground it was the right thing she took the free money off the table nobody else did a +4 tulsi gabbard and if you're arguing with that there's something you're just not understanding does this one there's a clean win for her in my opinion all right let's see what else we got going on here did you see the funny clip of Nancy Pelosi Shashi people after she read the or was that the first impeachment thing after the results I guess there was some cheering and Pelosi was reading it and she did the the schoolteacher like you know just a quick little look and trying to shut down the cheering and I I was trying to imagine what it was like to be
[28:45]
trying to imagine what it was like to be the Democrats when they're they're getting their fantasy fulfill of a successful impeachment vote and I thought that would be like and not only are they getting their fantasy but they can't show any emotion what would it feel like to have your best day ever if you're a Democrat Oh finally finally we got the impeachment and you're not allowed to shout I imagined being an alarm car ride with Erics wall well when you've just eaten Mexican and Eric's they're like keep it in keep her there it felt like the same thing it felt like Eric's wall wall and a long car ride from a Mexican restaurant that'll be funnier when you think about it later all right that's about it so there are a
[29:52]
all right that's about it so there are a number of people who I would consider somewhat on the fence wishy-washy cowards and those are the people who are I guess both Democrats and Republicans of sentence but I'm more angry at the Republicans the Republicans who say that the president's phone call was very much not perfect but they don't think he should be impeached for it to which I say what part of his phone call was not perfect if you make the claim that the president's phone call with Ukraine was not perfect what would be the reason that it's imperfect and it's not so obvious to me now you could certainly say it's imperfect because the cause the political problem but that's not what people are talking about they're not talking about that they're talking about the actual you know doing the job of president then he did it wrong with that phone call so was it a perfect phone call I think I
[30:54]
so was it a perfect phone call I think I said Leonard's a phone call but here's here's my take on it did he break the law in the phone call apparently not because even the impeachment articles don't don't allege that did he ask for something that the citizens of the United States will want yes because we had a legitimate interest in Purisima and Biden given that Biden was polling high to be the next president so it was a top priority because election interference or finding out if your next president has any kind of you know blackmail potential or anything very important top priority for the country so it was a top priority the president did not break any laws people asked like why why did he have to do it yourself to which I say if he could have done it a different way as in just assign it to an underling I'm pretty sure he would have done that but in the real world often the leaders have to agree before the
[31:55]
the leaders have to agree before the underlings will really take it seriously so I assume that if he had other ways to do it he would have done it months ago you know if the investigation had already been underway in Ukraine because he let's say told an underling and the underling told Ukraine if it was already happening he wouldn't have had to ask for it so he used a process that was the only process available to him because obviously the underling process wasn't going to work it was something that was a top priority for the country he did it completely legally and there's still a question of whether he used you know pressure about the releasing of the funds but all the evidence says that Ukraine wasn't even aware of it weren't even aware of it and so I'm not sure it matters because he would have every right to with funds to pressure them he certainly has a right to do that
[32:55]
a right to do that and he certainly had the right to way you know a few extra days or however long of Ukraine not having that non-lethal aid versus you know maybe getting a investigation going on something that was a top priority for the country those are both really important and the president it's his job to weigh those and say okay I'll let this go a few extra weeks because that might be the only way to get this other thing if that's what happened now there's no evidence that he actually used that leverage because Ukraine wasn't aware of it and it's not really leverage if the people you're using leverage on are not even aware of it so I would challenge those who say the phone call was anything but perfect because I can't find a flaw in it certainly a political flaw but that's not what people are talking about right so where am I wrong the only way you can turn that into an imperfect call is by
[33:57]
turn that into an imperfect call is by framing it legitimately and here's a rule for you to remember if you frame something wrong you can't get the right answer so if the way you framed it was digging up dirt on an opponent went through a foreign entity if that's how you framed it then the framing is the answer to the question like there's no thinking involved because the framing removes the thinking there's nobody who would favor digging up dirt on an opponent using a foreign country if that's all it was so with that framing you're stuck in that frame and what are you gonna do nobody's in favor of that but if you're looking at a more legitimate frame which is was a top national priority was it the president's job did he perform his job on a top priority in the only way that was really available for him to do it yes yes and yes he did exactly what the country would have wanted now if
[34:57]
the country would have wanted now if you're speculating yeah but his real internal secretive thoughts were that it was just all about winning re-election that's still legal still perfect still appropriate the president has every right to pursue re-election through the process of doing the people's work as long as it was a top priority for the country it was certainly a top priority for me I can speak personally it doesn't matter if it's also being done for selfish reasons it's just not relevant that's how our process works so one of the other framing that the Democrats do to make you reach their conclusion uncritically is there they continue to repeat no one is above the law no one's above the law no one's above the law and if you accept
[35:58]
no one's above the law and if you accept that frame then you uncritically accept that the president has somehow violated law and therefore he must be must be dealt with but they're not even alleging a law was broken there's no law alleged so every time they say he's not above the law they're not even on the right topic if they had alleged that the president had broken a law then it would might make sense to say nobody's above the law but if you're in a completely political process where no law has been broken what does it mean to say he's not above the law it's a it's a persuasion trick to put your brain in that frame that's all it is all right but it is very effective you're right it's effective because it's sort of a bumper sticker or a thought so I I tweeted out that no one is below the law either now below the law doesn't really mean a
[36:59]
below the law doesn't really mean a thing cuz everybody is below the law so it actually is sort of nonsense but it makes you think makes you think that you you know you can't you can't use the law to abuse somebody either funniest quote is that one of the funniest tweets I saw today I forget who said it but I'm gonna I'm gonna repeat it because it's funny but there's a there's an F word in it so if you don't want to hear the F word in a humorous context you should turn down your sound now here's the joke somebody said that the the only presidents who get impeached are the ones who make the mistake of Hillary Clinton because Bill Clinton and now Trump okay turn your sale back on it's okay it's okay come on back which is pretty clever so we have
[38:05]
back which is pretty clever so we have certainly broken into these two separate worlds and I think you can all feel it in a way that it just gets stronger and stronger the entire Trump world seems to be laughing and completely relaxed and feeling vindicated really because the fact that you couldn't get a single not even one Republican to vote for it is all you need to know all you need to know is that not one Republican in the house FLOTUS work now we don't know if the Senate will even vote I'm guessing they will at some point but that's sort of the beginning in the end of the story all the rest is weeds doesn't matter some of us are trying to eat somebody said so I saw there were some polls that said that Trump would beat any one of the Democratic
[39:06]
beat any one of the Democratic challengers and then immediately see and then responded with a poll the cent that Joe Biden is leaving so a little confused where the polls are at but if it's true that the that the polls have have moved and that Trump is beating every Democrat in the race what are they gonna do what in the world are they gonna do
it was just open question all right any pardons today it would be a great time to do some pardons wouldn't it because it would take all the all the attention would have to go to the pardons and if it did it would take it away from the peach pits so it's probably the perfect time to do something you know it if he pardoned Roger stone for Christmas at the same time that he's you know he got impeached
[40:06]
time that he's you know he got impeached it'd be kind of perfect like if he's going to and I don't know what the legalities are honor know if he even can I assume they're federal charges right you can get a clear Roger stone whatever the legal word for it is it would be kind of the right time to do that because Manafort is a special case Manafort broke some serious laws stone you know was a professional liar who got caught lying that doesn't feel like the same thing right if you're a professional liar and that's all you do and everybody knows you as you know what I think was that Michael Tracy who called him a fabulous if you know that somebody is a fabulous in other words they they spin stories continually and you get you go to jail for telling a lie well it's almost like that's on FBI you
[41:09]
well it's almost like that's on FBI you know it's like it you should have seen that coming yeah and I suppose Lyndon would be the obvious one stone and Flynn pardons at the end of the year if you're gonna do it if you're gonna do it if somebody says exonerates yeah so I don't know the legal technicalities but if you're gonna do it would there be a better time than the end of the year the best year a president ever had literally this might be the best year any president ever had it could be I mean it's certainly up there in the top top-3 you know I don't even know who else would be close and it's Christmas and the news people are mostly on vacation and they want to talk about this impeachment they don't want to talk about something else yet they want to dwell in it a little bit it's the time now I'm not saying he's gonna do it but there will never be a better time than this week if he plans to alright
[42:18]
which to devils voted against impeachment doesn't really matter they were ones in in trump of supporting territories yeah I don't know what's going on with Assange I'm really confused about the whole story there's just something going on there that I feel like we don't know I feel as if there's some hidden information all right yeah partnering pardoning Manafort would probably be a mistake because he was a tax cheat and he cheated on taxes that means he cost me money manna fort stole for me and you if you pay taxes in the United States because he was a tax cheat so I'll feel the same about Manafort as I do for somebody he was a professional liar who got caught lying I mean really all right pardon everybody but Cohen yeah I don't think Cohen has
[43:19]
but Cohen yeah I don't think Cohen has earned a pardon but I wouldn't complain if he got one honestly you know if Cohen got a pardon it would really make everybody chatter because people would say this is this is Trump signaling to people that they can break the law and get away with it as long as it's good for him that's that's how it would be covered but I wouldn't it wouldn't be the worst thing somebody's asking about in a John Brennan indictment is it my imagination or am i watching the wrong that works but John Brennan sort of disappeared didn't he can in fact check that end when was the last time John Brennan appeared on camera recently I'd like to know how that's going all right exonerate Tommy Chong stop Tommy Chong isn't in prison anymore is he I thought he got it right that's
[44:22]
is he I thought he got it right that's all I got I will talk to you all later bye for now
