Wuhan Lab Leak - Iran Progress · Booker Scott: Truth Be Told

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's 6 Eastern. It's 3 o'clock Pacific.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: This is a president of action.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Coast to coast and around the world from the America
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Out Loud Talk Radio Studios.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: If he says he's serious about something, he means it.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: It's time for The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: The American delegation in Switzerland has made their way back
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: home to the United States of America as they've been
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: wrangling with Iran over the weekend. We also have major
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: league baseball that is backtracked a little bit. DNI, Tulsi
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Gabbard on her last day, released information about the COVID origins.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Will it matter? Does it even matter? Thanks for being
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: here tonight. And Matt, welcome back into the program.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: It's good to be here. Uh, Thanks to a tech error,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: we don't understand I'm in the host seat, but not
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: actually the host, but I like that I look like one.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you would be a great host, I think. Yeah, well,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: we have a busy, busy night here to get into
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: this information. We have a rant going on. We had J.D.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Vance there, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner. They went to Switzerland
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to Lake Lucerne and Over the weekend, it wasn't going
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to happen. It was going to happen. It seems like
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the same thing that we've been watching for the last
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: three months now when it comes to Iran. However, it
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: appears that maybe they made some headway. I'm not sure.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Let's hope so. I mean, so far, we just have
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: a memorandum of understanding. Trump has talked about detail or
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: has talked about a deal, but has not shared the
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: details yet. So that leads the question of why exactly
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: that is. You know, maybe he just doesn't want to
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: solicit any foreign commentary on to it. Who really knows?
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: But from the memorandum of understanding, there's two points that
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: have been drawing Trump some blowback from his own supporters.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: The first one being that The Strait of Hormuz is
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: toll-free for 60 days. After that, Iran can put tolls
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: on ships passing through. That being said, Trump has countered
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: that the U.S. will get a share of those tolls.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So Iran would be getting new revenue from that, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: so would we if that is to be believed. And
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: the other one is, I've drawn a blank. Oh, the
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: $ 300 billion Reconstruction Fund, where I don't even know how
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: it did $ 300 billion worth of damage, but I guess
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: that's what they're going to quote people at. But Trump
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: says that we're not going to be contributing towards it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: We're just going to be organizing it.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Facilitating it. Yeah, getting it from other countries.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So that is his response to those two major objections.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: And we have to remember, too, you know, I think
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Trump thought that And we certainly hope that this would
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: be sort of a one off strike. Obviously, Trump had
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of success fighting Iran just about a year
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: ago in a one off attack. And as we recall,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the usual suspects were saying it's going to be a
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: World War Three or to get drawn into a prolonged crisis.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: You know, this time around, thank God it's not World
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: War Three, but it has gone on quite a lot
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: longer than we thought. And it's not going to be
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: a perfect deal, but it is going to be a
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: deal that at least allows this to end. And hopefully
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: we get something out of it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And is it going to be better than the JCPOA,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the one that Obama did, which was sunsetting in October
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of 2025, so it wouldn't even exist anymore. Trump took
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: us out of that beforehand. Is it going to be
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: better than that? And I think that's where the rubber
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is going to meet the road eventually, because as they
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: continue to negotiate, Trump has clearly said no nuclear weapons
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: or no enrichment of uranium is That's where his line
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: in the sand is. And Iran has said, we're not
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: going to give up that right. So as of right now,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: it seems like they're dangling little carrots. America is. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Iran is playing along as we move along in these
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: 60 days. And meanwhile, you have a problem still in
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Lebanon with Hezbollah and Israel that is continuing to go on.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And I want to talk about that just a little
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: bit as we go through this hour. But overall... I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: just don't know what the American people can expect. At
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: least right now, we have $ 73, $ 75 a barrel oil,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: which is going to help at the gas station. It
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: already has lowered the gas prices. So that's a good thing.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I just don't know where this is all going. It
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: seems to me that the Arab nations have formed an
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: alliance that will be good for America in the long run.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Matt. Where are your thoughts on that?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Well, the thing, too, is, you know, there's a report
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: from The Washington Post. And, you know, to be fair,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: it's The Washington Post, first of all. Second of all,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: it was citing, you know, quote unquote, intelligence sources without
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: saying exactly who the sources were. So obviously a grain
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: of salt and went about the quote. But they were
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: saying that Israel might try to disrupt the deal. And
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: it kind of makes sense from their perspective in that. Well,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: they want, you know, they obviously want to destroy Hezbollah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: but it does seem that they do want to occupy
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: parts of southern Lebanon. That probably is maybe a more
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: controversial statement, but I think there are members of his
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: cabinet that have indicated as much. People like Ben Gavir,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: who is, I think, probably one of the more extreme
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: outspoken members of his cabinet, was talking about For every
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Israeli mother that loses a child, we need to kill
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: a thousand Lebanese. You know, I understand the politics of deterrence,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: but that seems a little bit extreme. But as elections
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: in Israel are coming up in October and the war
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: in Iran has not been popular in America, this deal
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: is not very popular and some Republicans have spoken out
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: against it. But in Israel, the war actually is net popular,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and the overwhelming majority, or sorry, a sizable majority, a
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: double-digit majority, do want the fighting in Lebanon to continue.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: So if you are Benjamin Netanyahu, you're facing corruption charges,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: you want to hold on to power, and the number
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I saw was I think 86% opposed the deal Trump
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: is making. Well, from their perspective, it does make perfect
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: sense to try to disrupt the deal, influence it in
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: some way.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. Good take on that, Matt. Let's go
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to Vice President J.D. Vance and his comments after the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: meeting at Lucerne Lake in Switzerland.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Well, again, I feel great about the progress that we
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: made over the last couple of days.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We're looking forward to going back home.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: It's been a very long day. I know the reporters
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: had a long day.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: As well, so I appreciate you guys.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: But look, the fundamental thing we got is, number one,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: we set up the mechanism to ensure not only the
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Straits of Hormuz are open, but will stay open. We
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: saw we think about 15 million barrels of oil come out.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: That's one of the reasons why oil is so low
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Obviously, that means lower gas prices and gas prices are.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Going to keep coming down.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Number two, we actually set up the right mechanism to
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: ensure the regional ceasefire to manage the inevitable conflicts that
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: will come up.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: We feel great about that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: We're working with our allies, from the Israelis to the
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Gulf Arabs, to make sure that sticks. And we feel very,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: very good about where that is. We have the Iranians
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: allowing weapons inspectors, nuclear inspectors into their country for the
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: first time in a long time. We're obviously going to
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: bolster that inspection regime to make sure they can never
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: have a nuclear weapon. And finally, we continue to make
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: progress on these technical negotiations. We left a lot of
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: our team, the Iranians left a lot of their team
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: at the resort there to keep on working at.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: So all in all, a.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Very productive 36 hours. We're going to have to keep
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: working it. The last point that I'll make is, as
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I told you all this morning, this is laying a
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: foundation for what could be a truly transformed Middle East.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: But we haven't built a house yet. We're going to
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: have to keep on building, and that's what we'll do.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: What's different this time, Matt, than the JCPOA, where they
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: also allowed inspectors to come in, but they probably never
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: inspected anything? Is this any different from the Iranians than
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: the last 10 years?
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: We have to pass the deal so you can find out.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, great.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: No, thanks. Let's talk about southern Lebanon, though, because you
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: brought it up and I wanted to talk about it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: And that's Resolution 1701. Are you familiar with that? United
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Nations Resolution 1701? I will be within the next 30 seconds. Well,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to catch you up. It happened in 2006.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: The United Nations did this resolution, which was to put
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: an end to the war that was going on between
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Lebanon and Israel at that time. And what they said
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: was no one could occupy the area between the Tani
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: River going south to the Israeli border. And unfortunately, Hezbollah
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: never left. They have been there the entire time. The
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: United Nations didn't enforce it. And now Israel is also
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: in that area. The only people that are supposed to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: be there would be the Lebanon military and United Nations forces.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Neither of those are there right now. It happens to
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: be Hezbollah and Lebanon. Hezbollah controls that. It's almost a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: state within the state, south of the Latani River down
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: to Israel border. So that kind of backs up what
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you were saying earlier, that maybe the Israel government maybe
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: want to throw a monkey wrench into what's going on
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: with America. But that's 1701, Resolution 1701. And again, it's
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: 20 years old, but the United Nations really has never
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: done anything about it because Hezbollah has been there the
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: whole time. And by the way, Hezbollah has their government
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: headquarters actually in the southern part of Beirut, not down
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: in that area of the Latani River. Do you have
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: anything you want to add there, Matt?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I do think it is a good thing,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: all the progress they have made in fighting Hezbollah. Although
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I will sort of echo Trump in saying that, you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: there are, I think, legitimate concerns with proportionality in that,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you know, obviously Israel had, you know, this is obviously
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: going to Gaza, but, you know, they absolutely had a
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: right to respond to Hamas's terror attack on October 7th,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: and I think a moral imperative to You know, is 80,000
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: casualties the correct number in response to, I think was
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: under 2000 in that one? I mean, honestly, probably not.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: And I know I've just seen a lot of videos
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: of entire buildings getting demolished in Lebanon to get one
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: person or two people allegedly that are part of Hezbollah.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I know it is. I guess it's probably easy to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Monday morning quarterback in war, and I'm not an expert
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: on it, but I do have some of those concerns
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: that Trump was citing as well. Yeah.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Well, October 8th, right after October 7th, when Hamas went
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: into Israel, Hezbollah started bombing Israel, and they've not stopped since.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I would look at this maybe in a different way, thinking, well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: maybe if Israel would just not retaliate, And we could
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: get a nuclear deal done that actually is better for
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Israel in the long run. So are they cutting off
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: their nose to bite their face?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, you'll remember during when we struck Iran last year,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: you know, our little peace deal.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, we struck a peace deal with them or
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: a ceasefire. Israel was bombing into the deadline after the
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: ceasefire was struck. And even after. Just listen. Do what
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: you need to do. But I don't know. I hate
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: to say there needs to be some sportsmanship in war,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: but it's one of those things that you're just, I
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: don't know. You need to know when to have a
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: little bit of restraint.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: And the other part of this, Matt, too, when you
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: think about it, Iran controls Hezbollah. So if they want
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: to say this is over because of the United States.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: is not doing what they're supposed to do in this
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: memorandum of understanding. All they have to do is tell Hezbollah,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: bomb Israel. And then Israel, you know, bombs them back.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: And that does away with the ceasefire between those two,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: which is part of the MOU. So, you know, Iran
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: can do that. And when they do, then that's going
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: to mess things up in this. Let's move on to
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: DNI Tulsi Gabbard. She had her last day last week. And,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: you know, there's been a lot of conversation about COVID
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: origins from the very beginning. I don't know where you
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: were on the beginning, but at the very beginning, I
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: was pretty much, well, I wouldn't say from the very beginning,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: but soon thereafter, it wasn't a bad soup from a
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Wuhan market for me.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: I trusted the experts for about a week. I was like, oh, wait,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: these people. They'll say stuff where I'm like, how could
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: you possibly know? The virus got here last Wednesday, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: you just know all this stuff all of a sudden.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I don't buy it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Well, when they were making it, maybe they knew more.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Well, that actually explains it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Well, let's go to Tulsi Gabbard here on
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: her last day in office. She released information on COVID origins.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: Before the COVID pandemic, Dr. Fauci, as head of the
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, provided millions in U.S.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, work which is now
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: widely viewed as the source of the unintentional lab leak
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: that sparked the pandemic. Now, in support of President Trump's
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: maximum transparency mandate, Today, on my final day as Director
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: of National Intelligence, I'm releasing never-before-seen communications and documents that
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: expose exactly how Fauci worked with politicized career leadership in
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: the intelligence community to suppress the truth about his actions,
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: the virus's lab leak origins, and his role in directing U.S.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: funding for this dangerous research that caused immeasurable harm and
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: countless lost lives.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Now, Matt, that was not supposed to be happening. There
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: was a moratorium that President Obama put on that would
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: end gain-of-function research. And we know that Fauci went around
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: those things. He used Peter Daszak in North Carolina to
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: do the gain-of-function, and he did some funny things. And
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you always wondered during COVID, was this Fauci that created it,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: or was this Fauci that made a mistake And now
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: he's trying to cover it up. And at this point,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: I think I go with the latter. I think that
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: he was trying to cover it up the whole time.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: What are your thoughts there?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, the Intel, I can't remember if it
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: was FBI or CAA, one of the Intel agencies had,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you know, has accepted the lab leak theory as the
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: official theory. And they said it was with low confidence,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: but that is still the dominant theory. And I think
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: it was Josh Hawley. And it might have even been
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Trump himself or some of the first people to float
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: the lab leak theory. And the media in unison attacked them.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: And when Fauci was was asked about this, I recall
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that he had very detailed scientific reasons for why the
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: evidence did not fit a lab leak, meaning he didn't
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: frame it as, well, it's a possibility we'll see. It
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: was very definitive early on without any further research of, no,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: it was definitely not a lab leak, which leads you
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to ask the question of why not be open-minded? If
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: we're supposed to follow the science, you should at least
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: seriously look into that theory. And it was something he
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: denied time and time again, and he probably did, um,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: during those famous exchanges with Rand Paul. And if he
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: had something to hide, that is the perfect reason for
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: why he did that. It seems like that was the case. Well,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: back then when it was going on, we were all suppressed.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: We know from the Twitter files that came out at
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: the end of 2022 that big tech was working with
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: the White House and they were suppressing information. If you remember,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump couldn't even say China. They didn't want you
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: to say China because they were protecting the Wuhan lab
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: so much. And that is, to me, exactly what happened.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: And I dug into some archives of the radio show.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I went all the way back over three years ago
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: because there were a couple of hearings back then that
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I want to dig into now to put together with
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: what she released. Because when you listen to Dr. Robert
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Redfield here in just a minute, you're going to understand
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: that there was something that happened in that lab in
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: September of 2019. And Fauci, way back then, was saying, no,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: it wasn't September. It didn't happen then. There was no
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: lab leak. It was bat soup from the Wuhan market.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: That's where we got this. And in reality, it wasn't.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: There were so many different theories going on. We were suppressed.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: We were censored.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately, Matt, as you look at this, We have CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: all the mainstream media has done zero coverage of this,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: which is 62% of the people in the country get
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: their news from there. So does it even matter in
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the end that the truth is that it came from
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: the lab? And, you know, that's the unfortunate thing with
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: so many things right now in our society, whether it's
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: J6 or election fraud or whatever it is, the mainstream
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: media doesn't cover it. And because of that, It's like
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: it didn't happen to the majority of the country.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Well, the truth always matters just for the sake of
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: knowing the truth. But does it matter in terms of
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: political consequences? And the answer is no. Fauci got that
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: pardon for a reason. I don't think it was just
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: because they thought they would punish him with the process.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I think it's because they thought he actually would be
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: found guilty of something or something would be at least
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: uncovered while investigating him.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I think so. Well, let's go to this
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: tape here. This is Robert Redfield. I had to dig
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: back to April of 2023. This hearing was in March
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: of 2023. That long ago is when this hearing was.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: So here is that audio clip with a picture of Dr.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Robert Redfield.
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: Go back and look. It's declassified now. And I'm sure
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: you all have your classified briefings. But the declassified information
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: now in September of 2019, three things happened in that lab.
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: One is they deleted the sequences. It was highly irregular.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: Researchers don't usually like to do that. Second thing they
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: did was they changed the command and control of the
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: lab from the civilian control to the military control.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Highly unusual.
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: I've been involved in dual-use labs when I was in
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: the military. And the third thing they did, which I
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: think is really telling, is they let a contractor redo
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: the ventilation system in that laboratory. So I think clearly
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: there was strong evidence that there was a significant event
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: that happened in that laboratory in September. It's now been declassified.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: So that information was declassified back in 2023. He brought
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: that information. Very few people heard about it or knew
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: about it. I happened to be watching that congressional hearing.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: That's what happened. It was a lab leak.
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: And.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: you know, he mentioned there that the genetic sequencing scientists
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: that spend their whole life working on these things, they
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: don't suddenly just lose all of the genetic sequencing. And
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: that happened. And then the Army of China, they came
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: in and overtook that lab, took control of it. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: then the last thing you heard him say was the
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: air filtration system was changed suddenly in September 2019. Meanwhile,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: all of us were told we can't say China and
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: None of it was true.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: And it was.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: And then I asked the question, should we look for
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: reparations from China? We had 1.2 million Americans that died.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I think there were 7 million worldwide that died from COVID.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: China needs to pay.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I believe there was someone who did sue over something
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: COVID-related and got a large settlement or victory because China
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: just didn't show up to court.
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: And I.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: I think the way we can collect is by federal
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: assets they own. So when they're buying up farmland, if
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: we sue China over COVID, and it seems like they're
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: just not going to show up for court, we win
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: by default, you can then seize the land. So maybe
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: you and I, this could be our side hustle, is
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: suing China over this.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: It sounds like a class action suit to me. Have
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you ever joined one of those? I've joined several.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm up like 80 bucks.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I'm five or six bucks every time. You
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: wait for three years.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: There's a joke that if you're going to pick a
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: bank to join, you join Wells Fargo because they break
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the law so often you get like 20 bucks a quarter. Well,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: you get paid to bank there. But with the lab
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: like theory, It is the most simplest common sense explanation
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: in that you have the coronavirus factory right here. And
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: then there's a coronavirus outbreak across the street. I'm ripping
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: off John Stewart, but he's like, hey, suppose there's a
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: there's an outbreak of chocolatey goodness in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Where
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: do we suspect that came from? Maybe it's the chocolate factory.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: It's a perfect analogy for this. I want to play
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: one more clip. Again, I dug into the archives. This
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: was on that same show back in 2023. Jim Jordan
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: was questioning the science editor of the New York Times
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: about a couple of doctors that completely changed the narrative.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Let's listen to this clip together.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: Wade, why would they change their position that fast when
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: the only intervening event is a conference call with Dr. Fauci,
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: the guy who wouldn't let Dr. Redfield see the very
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: emails that they had sent him?
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Dr.
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: Redfield, head of CDC on the Coronavirus Task Force.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Why would they change their position, Mr.
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: Wade?
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: Well, this question does lie at the heart of the issue.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: What is pertinent, it seems to me, is there's no
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: new scientific evidence that we can see that came available
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: between these dates, the Jan 31st and Feb 4th.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Right, there's no new, I think you're, go ahead.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: So you have to ask if there were other kinds
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: of influence available. Now, it is true that Dr. Fauci
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: and Dr. Fowler in London We're very powerful research officials
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: and between them is control.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: I read your testimony. I saw that.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: So why don't you cut to the chase and tell
• 21:39
  Speaker 9: them what you really think was the reason?
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the reason was.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: I know what it was. Go ahead. Go ahead.
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: I'll let you say it because I read your testimony.
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: I think you said it in your testimony, too. Maybe
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: you're reluctant to say it here, but go ahead.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Well, if you're looking at the timeline on May 21st,
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: just a few weeks after the Nature Medicine article had
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: come out, Two of the signatures of the original email
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: to Dr.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Fauci, that's Dr.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Anderson and Dr. Gary, were awarded a $ 9 million grant.
• 22:13
  Speaker 9: So there's 9 million reasons we changed their mind.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: I knew you'd get to it. I read that last night.
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: So three days after they say it came from a lab,
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: they changed their position, and the only intervening event's a
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: conference call with Dr.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Fauci and Dr. Collins. Again, a call that Mr.
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: Redfield was not allowed to be on, the head of
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: CDC and on the Coronavirus Task Force.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Something else, Matt, that they did was they pushed out
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Robert Redfield. You had the Scarf Lady, Dr. Birx, and
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: you had, obviously, Fauci. Those two pushed Redfield out early
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: on during COVID, and you heard there with Jim Jordan
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: that he wasn't even involved with that phone call that
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Fauci had that got these two scientists that are world-renowned
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and respected, got them to change their opinion on where
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: this came from. Now, a couple of months later, three
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: or four months later, this came out in the DNI report.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: They changed their mind also, but it was too late.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: The narrative had already been started. It was way down
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the road, and there was nothing that could be done,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: and we were lied to again.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: More truth in minutes on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: All of us were told from a very early age,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: you are what you eat, and if that's the case...
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Don't you want the best for you and your family?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you where you can go do that.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: You can go to beefinitiative.com. That's beefinitiative.com, where they will
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: connect you with a rancher somewhere in your state. And
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: it's more than just making sure you're eating the right
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: things and your family is. It's about America. Let's be honest.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: It is. America's farmers and ranchers are the backbone of
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: this great nation. And now more than ever, Supporting local
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: agriculture matters. The American Beef Initiative USA is dedicated to
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: strengthening food independence, protecting generational farming families, and reconnecting communities
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: with trusted local food sources and food security. This isn't
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: just about beef. It's about protecting independence. Go to beefinitiative.com.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: That's beefinitiative.com. Let's go to one more clip. Here's Anthony
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Fauci recently in a hearing. I think this was about five, six,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: seven months ago. Here's Dr. Anthony Fauci.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Prior to that call, would have been on the call. Well,
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: the call was arranged by Jeremy Farrar.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: You should ask him.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: OK.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Did U.S.
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: Tax dollars flow through a grant recipient to the lab
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: in China?
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: What was the U.S.
• 24:50
  Speaker 9: Tax dollars flow through a grant recipient to the lab
• 24:53
  Speaker 9: in China?
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Yes, of course.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: It was a sub award to the Wuhan Institute.
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: Who approved that award?
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Excuse me?
• 24:59
  Speaker 9: And who approved that award? What agency approved that award?
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Your agency approved that, right? Yes, it did.
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: Does that have anything to do with this downplaying of
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: the lab leak theory?
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: No.
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Nothing to do with it?
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: Nothing.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I think it probably does, Matt. I think it has
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: everything to do with it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Is this obvious conflict of interest? Explain me lying.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: No. Unfortunately, one, Fauci was pardoned, so that's one thing.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: The other thing is statute of limitations recently ran out.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I saw Catherine Herridge, formerly of CBS and also Fox,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: say that there's a possibility of a conspiracy, but that's
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: never going to be proven. And so I think you
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: kind of have to close the book here on Anthony
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Fauci and COVID and everything.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: And presumably you're getting a D.C. jury and a not
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: statistically a not minor percentage of the population viewed Fauci
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: as the second coming of Christ.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Did you see that they would like make Fauci candles
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: where instead of Jesus, it would be him in a religious.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: It was it was, I mean, blasphemous.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Obviously. But no, a lot of just. insane people live there.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: And we have seen under Trump's DOJ, a lot of
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: people who are obviously breaking the law are getting off
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: on jury nullification grounds. And that if you're in a
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: city where 80 or 90 percent of the public voted
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: against Trump, if they see something as politically motivated, they're
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: just going to strike it down, even knowing it's wrong.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I know you were out of town this weekend. Did
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: you happen to see any of the Supreme Court decisions
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: that came out recently? We had the Second Amendment, a
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: big unanimous case. It was 9-0. And that had to
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: do with gun rights and marijuana use, and you can't
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: take away someone's right to have a gun. And that
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: was a huge decision, and it was 9-0. Which, by
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: the way, 9-0 decisions are not the majority, but it
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: is the largest percentage. 37%, I think.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: I had always wondered that because I remember thinking like, well,
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: if these are the wisest legal minds on earth, why
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: isn't every decision nine to zero? But it is, looking up,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: it is the most common decision. And that, you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: even in the Senate, I think 100 to zero votes
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: or voice votes are extremely common in that such a
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: large percentage of government business is just this mundane, non-controversial stuff.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: But as to the point of that ruling... I mean,
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I largely agree with that, even though marijuana is still
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: illegally federally, if you were going to, you know, rank
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: drugs in a hierarchy of bad, you know, as someone
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: who thinks that sort of the normalization of marijuana has
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: had consequences and that people increasingly believe the drug has
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: no consequences. That being said, I think alcohol is far worse.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: And if you're allowed to drink alcohol and have a gun,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: I would say if you can have a lesser drug.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: You should also be able to own a gun. Well,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: all nine agreed with you.
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: That's good. Even, even Katanja Brown Jackson saw some Palumbo wisdom. Well,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I would never admit that. Lower courts. They also, you
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: remember how they were doing all of the blanket injunctions
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: at the beginning of the Trump administration. They can't do that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: That was another decision that came down. Over the weekend
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: or just prior to the weekend, it was a 5-4 decision,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: much closer, but it doesn't matter as long as it's 5-4.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And what they are saying, if you want to explain it,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: you may explain it better than I do, but they
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: are saying that if a regional or local court decides, okay,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: you can't do this, they can't do it for the
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: entire nation.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: It has to be according to the person that brings
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the case that has been harmed to they can answer
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: for them, but not for the entire country, which was
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: happening almost on everything at the beginning of Donald Trump's
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: second term.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, I mean, it should apply to the jurisdiction.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: It gives judges far too much power if they could
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: just block a policy that is objected to locally and
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: apply nationally. You could completely obstruct the president's agenda. And
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I understand, obviously, part of the judiciary's job is to
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: hold the president in check. But we do know that
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the higher the court that these rulings could appeal to,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: the more they go in Trump's favor. So- And when
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: it gets to the Supreme Court, it's like 80 or
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: 90 percent in Trump's favor. So, you know, it just
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: proves that the injunctions were politically motivated to begin with.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: And it's a rotating cast of characters. In fact, a
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: lot of the time, you know, the the headline is
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: like you know trump rules cancer illegal judge blocks it
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: it's some star wars named judge we've seen 800 times
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: before or uh boasburg boasburg they're they're household junk chukin
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: or whatever the hell that one's name was but they're
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: they're all household names by now which is very rare.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: For uh judges shouldn't be known like that. I would
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: think that they shouldn't be rock stars. They should just
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: be judging things. Everybody should know Boasberg's name, but they do.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: And the Democrats keep running to his court to get rulings.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe this will help. It will keep injunctions from going
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: across the entire nation. Did you happen to see Donald
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Trump's post over the weekend about great daughter? Did you
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: see that?
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Who is that?
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Talking about it was my question it was the guy
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: who owns abc radio in new york and the grocery
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: chain it was his wife whatever his name i know
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: i know the guy yes he's on fox he is.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Good guy great guy and um it was his wife
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I guess it came Camp David 30 years ago.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: You thought it was the daughter?
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: No, no one knew.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: And what everybody was talking about on social media, there
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: were some really funny comments about it. But that's who
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: it turned out to be. And I guess their daughter
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: is head of the GOP in New York, in Manhattan.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I knew that.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: And so he must have met with her, but it
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: was just so obscure, almost like the aliens last weekend.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: He didn't have anything to do with. We also have
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. You know, she is right there at about 9%,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I think, on Polly Market for being the Democrat presidential
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: nominee in 2018. Gavin Newsom is up there, what, 23%, 28%?
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I forget. I looked today, but I don't remember which
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: one it was. He's the leader. But then you have
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, and you remember her passage of time speech.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: She's very philosophical.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of significance.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: The significance to the passage of time kept going. Well,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: she was on with Don Lemon. I have the video.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Here she is with Don Lemon. Again, she's getting to time.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: I really, truly believe this.
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: We each have light inside of us. And we need
• 32:05
  Speaker 10: to know that that is what inspires our hope as
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: much as anything external to ourselves. And when we feel
• 32:13
  Speaker 10: that and not allow an election or an individual to
• 32:17
  Speaker 10: dampen that light and instead let that light kind of
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: carry us in particular moments of darkness, that we... not
• 32:27
  Speaker 10: only act on that hope, but we inspire that hope
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: in each other. And in particular at this moment, it
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: is so important that we not only have hope, but
• 32:42
  Speaker 10: that we understand that that should be a verb.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Do you know what in the hell she's talking about?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Any idea?
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: She must be so much fun to have as like
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: a drunk aunt.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: But I think she's drunk all the time.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: I would, I would honestly, like, I'm not even joking here.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Like to have her at the Thanksgiving table would be
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: so much fun. I don't want her in charge of
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: anything ever that impacts my life, but just listening to
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: her ramble, like two or three drinks in would be
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: so much fun.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Well, she's something else. And again, she's not leading. Hopefully
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: her career is over. I don't know what else she
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: could do. Do you have any ideas there?
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Uh, I guess governor of California is gone.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Um, You know, some people said that she was
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: going to try that, but she didn't.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Has she just become a grifter at this point?
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Well, hasn't she always been? Honestly, has Kamala Harris been
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: anything other than a grifter her entire career? What has
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: she accomplished?
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I just mean the part where you're selling, like, VPN
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: subscriptions or something.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: Full in.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: All the way back to her history as Attorney General
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: in California.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: By the way, I'm not ruling out as a potential
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: advertiser for this show, but.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: We need all we can get there. By the way,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: let's tell everybody where they can follow us. I didn't
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: do that at the beginning of the hour, but you
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: can follow us on Rumble and on YouTube. And that
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: is Palumbo Booker Justified, either one of those. You can
• 34:06

  Speaker 2: and a half million followers. Great to have you there.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: We are checking comments there and also on talkred.com and

• 34:25
  Speaker 2: also I've made a Twitter, an ex PB and J podcast.

  Speaker 2: I think it's a real or Booker Scott show is
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: what it's under. So please follow us and you can
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: get the shorts on Instagram and things like that.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: But We assigned my wife the duty of clipping the show.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: She's doing good.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: She's on TikTok.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, TikTok. I'm seeing on the YouTube that you're doing.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: We are getting comments from people who disagree with us,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: so it is breaking containment. The show is reaching outside
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: our audience, which is good, even though they're not pleased
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: with us.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for watching and making the comments, too.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: We had an interesting comment last week On someone that disagrees,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I'll see if I can find it, and I'll get
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: to it. But let's move on here to Sheldon Whitehouse.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: You know him. He is the Democrat senator from Rhode Island,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: I believe, and he's the guy that was complaining about racism.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: And it turns out he is a member of an
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: all-white swim and yacht club.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: To be fair to him, if it's all white, there's
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: no one to be racist against.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I don't know who they have
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: working there.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, good point.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. But everybody got on his case pretty hard.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: And you know, Matt, something we've talked about on the
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: radio show is if the Republicans don't maintain power in
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: the House of Representatives, which, you know, if you look
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: at Polly Market or Coushey, any of those, it's 80
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: or 90% that the Democrats and Hakeem Jeffries will take
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: over the House of Representatives. And depending on what happens,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: and I've talked about this on the radio show quite
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: a bit, I don't know that I've done it here
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: on this show yet, but if the Republicans don't pass
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: a reconciliation with all 12 appropriations, before September 30th, coming
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: up this year, just a few months from now, then
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: the government's going to shut down October 1st. The Democrats,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: they want it to shut down because that will destroy
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the midterm. Yeah, I mean, just normally, historically, you're looking
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: at losing 25 seats, which would give Democrats the power.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: If that were to happen, you almost could look at
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: something like Barack Obama in 2010. And I don't want
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: that to happen. I want people to go out and vote.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: If the Republicans will go out and vote, we can
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: maybe keep the house. I think we'll keep the Senate.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: We talked about that last week.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I think it's safe.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, even like, um, in Michigan, I mean, they're
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: running like an Islamist, Islamist adjacent guy against Mike Rogers.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's Mike Rogers.
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: And Rogers, a loss to slot can, um, 18,000 votes. Yeah,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: it was by a margin by which he lost because
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: there were Trump supporters who just left the Senate vote blank.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: And I think Slotkin underperformed Harris by like 19,000 or 20,000.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Rod just underperformed by 120,000. So the entire margin was
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: just Trump voters not voting for him. So hopefully this
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: time around, they wise up a little bit. Georgia could
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: be an interesting race too with John Ossoff. We'll have
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: to wait and see.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: The way things were May 19th in their primary elections,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: It's going to be tough unless the Republicans decide to
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: get out and vote.
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: I don't know about you, but the one thing the
• 37:40
  Speaker 11: last five or so years has taught me is that
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of companies
• 37:44
  Speaker 11: and services out there that don't share the foundational values
• 37:47
  Speaker 11: of this country and we the people. And I've spoken
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: to a lot of you about it who share the
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: same concerns, and you wonder where to shop. where to
• 37:54
  Speaker 11: spend your hard-earned money without feeling gross about it. It
• 37:57
  Speaker 11: can be frustrating, but here's the good news. You don't
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: have to do the research yourself and you don't have
• 38:02
  Speaker 11: to tie yourself up in knots any longer because we've
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: done the legwork for you. At mammothnation.com, we have thousands
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: of vetted, freedom-loving, pro-America companies who actually share your values.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: So now the ball's in your court.
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: Keep spending money with companies that frustrate you and then
• 38:16
  Speaker 11: use the proceeds to fund initiatives that are in direct
• 38:19
  Speaker 11: competition with your values or be a part of something better.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I think the choice is pretty easy. Come be a
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: part of the solution.

• 38:41
  Speaker 2: What I want to get to with Sheldon Whitehouse here,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: you know, I think the seditious six that was set
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: up in a way to create an impeachment or investigations.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: because they said do not follow illegal orders. So I
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: think that that could be an investigation if the Democrats
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: take over the House that we could see. And Venezuela
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: would be another one. They could say that that was
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: an illegal order. And we had the admiral. I don't
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: know if you remember this, but there was an admiral
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: that left right before the Venezuela execution of that operation
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: took place. And he was over that part of the country.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: or that part of the world, for the Navy. He
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: was an admiral, and he left. And since then, he
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: has met with Democrats in the House of Representatives and
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: the Senates. is he setting up to be the next
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Alexander Vindman in an upcoming? So that's why my mind works.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: I look at this and think, well, what could they
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: be up to? Because as soon as they take over
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: the House, they're going to start investigations. And it will
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: move quickly to impeachments, unfortunately. But here's Sheldon Whitehouse. This
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: has to do with the $ 1. 8 or $ 1. 776 billion slush
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: fund that Todd Blanche, the AG, said, we're not going
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: to do this anymore, when he was questioned a couple
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago. Now, let me explain where this money
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: comes from, because I don't think a lot of people understand.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: There was a $ 10 billion lawsuit that Donald Trump had
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: against the IRS. The IRS agreed to settle out of court. Now,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: this is Donald Trump's IRS. This is Donald Trump's DOJ.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: And the DOJ decided they were going to spend the $ 1. 8 billion,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: and then they backed up and said, we're not. So
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: this is Donald Trump's winning earnings from... the IRS agreeing
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: to settle out of court on the $ 10 billion, which
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: that had to do with someone in the IRS, if
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: you remember back years ago, releasing tax. Yeah, they did
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: it on family members and Donald Trump. So he sued.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: And that's where that money came from. So let's listen
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: to Sheldon Whitehouse here and hear how far-fetched he is.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: But this is another road that the Democrats could go
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: down should they win the House of Representatives or to
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: start investigating and ultimately trying to impeach Donald Trump.
• 41:01
  Speaker 12: Last night, the federal court in Florida that is inquiring
• 41:07
  Speaker 12: into whether the Trump slush fund settlement amounted to a
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: fraud on the court got its reply from the 35
• 41:18
  Speaker 12: retired federal judges who originally brought the challenge. And the
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: reply is a boomer. It pretty much destroys the Trump
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: lawyers' arguments. But more interesting, it lays out all of
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: the various methods and remedies available to the court to
• 41:37
  Speaker 12: investigate and respond to a fraud.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Upon the court. So he says it's a fraud upon
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: the court. And again, that's Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat senator who,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: you know, he's not my favorite guy, but I just
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: throw this out here to, you know, have it on
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: your radar. Understand that this could be another way that
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: the Democrats try to impeach or investigate Donald Trump and
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the Trump family. They've been doing it for 10 years.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Do you think they're going to stop?
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: No, but I think they have infinity reasons to impeach
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Trump in that, you know, the Russia hoax was sort
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: of the OG anti-Trump hoax that was not, you know,
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: impeachment worthy or they didn't try to impeach over that.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: But it was impeachable. a hoax that was completely hallucinated.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: And it was the subject of tens of thousands of
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: hours of media attention, tens of thousands of hours, their
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: entire podcast devoted to it out of absolutely nothing. So yeah,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: they can really turn anything into something they think is
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: going to eventually be impeachment worthy. More relevantly, The impeachment
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: over the first impeachment over Trump allegedly withholding aid to
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: Ukraine as part of a quid pro quo. Zelensky himself
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: spoke out and said there was no quid pro quo
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: before there was the impeachment. So the guy who was
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: supposedly a party there or pressured by Trump came out
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: and said, no, I was not. And that didn't matter.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I don't think that really came up in the trial.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: So don't really try anything.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Luigi Mangini. What about this guy? What's his name?
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Mangione.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Mangione. Is that the way you say it? Do you
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: remember Chuck Mangione, the trumpet player?
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's where I'm getting it from. No, I don't
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: remember him.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know. What is his name? Mangione, I believe.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Mangione?
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got an I at the end. It's Italian, right?
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Aren't you? You should know this.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Allegedly.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: You don't even know. Anyway, this is the guy that
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: killed the CEO of of a healthcare company. And he's
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: become famous. And all of these women want to marry
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: this guy. He's, you know, it's, it's odd to me.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: He's, he's famous because women find him attractive. And there
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: are the people who were saying, Oh, he's this hero
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: who killed a guy who's killing people. Brian Thompson was
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: his name. Brian Thompson. They're coming up with the excuse
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: after the fact. And that, The guy who killed Charlie Kirk,
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: I guess I have to say allegedly, the alleged Charlie
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Kirk assassin, he killed someone that millions of people hated.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: And given the response to his murder, I guess a
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: lot of people want it dead because they can't tolerate
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: disagreement anymore. And there's not a single woman who's like, oh,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: I'd love to be with that guy. He is not.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: He has not developed a fan base at all, despite
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: what he did being popular among the left. And it's
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: got to be extremely frustrating to him to see one
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: murderer get treated like he's a sex symbol that he's
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: just shop liver.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: I guess he overruled his attorney, though. Is that right?
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Yes. To give some background, there is there. His attorneys
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: floated the defense of insanity. entity the problem of which
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: being you are admitting well he did do it but
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: now we're trying to get a mitigating factor here and
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: it listen given the response to this assassination i would
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: not be surprised if they could find one juror who's
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: going to try to nullify the whole thing i mean
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: granted there was going to be a federal trial he
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: would probably be retried at the state level anyway but
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: I actually wouldn't be surprised if there was a mistrial,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: which is depressing to say, but there are enough depraved
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: people to make that possible. But anyway, they did withdraw
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: that plea. So I guess the defense is like, okay,
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: he did do it, but he was crazy. Just kidding. Actually,
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: he didn't do it. Let's go back to this option.
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: And also, one last point. His followers are also doing this...
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: two-faced argument where it's like he's a hero who killed
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: a tyrant also he's innocent he's framed.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah well they're nut jobs i mean they want
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: to marry the guy the guy killed him murdered brian
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: thompson in cold blood there's no doubt about that yeah
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: i'm not going to say alleged it happened.
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: And sir i mean we have this manifesto the bullet
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: casing's bad uh i think it's pretty obvious.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: I don't need to be colombo to figure this one
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: out it's pretty simple Do you remember Columbo, by the way?
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Do you remember that show? Just got one question for you.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yes.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Was I quoting the show there? I've seen like one scene.
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, but that's okay.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: No, I thought that's what he did.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: No, he always put his hand on his head and said, oh,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: by the way. And as he was walking out the door.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: But I was probably trying.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: It was really close. It was close.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you. I, every teacher I had growing up
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: would call me Columbo. So I, I, at one point
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: looked it up on YouTube, but I saw a clip.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: It's been a while then. Been a while.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: What about June? How is your pride month going? You
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: having a good pride month?
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not, I'm not celebrating.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: You're not celebrating it. Not celebrating, not practicing. The major
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: league baseball had a story and, um, you know, you
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: had some baseball players that didn't want to wear the
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: rainbow hats and San Francisco Giants were involved with that.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Even the Tampa Bay Rays here, where I am, they
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: had the same issue. Let's go to this clip and
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: get a little background on it, and then we'll talk
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: about it. J.T.
• 47:03
  Speaker 13: Brubaker and Ryan Walker were seen with a biblical verse,
• 47:07
  Speaker 13: Genesis 9, 12, 16, written on their rainbow pride caps,
• 47:11
  Speaker 13: which says the rainbow is a symbol of a covenant
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: between God and all living creatures.
• 47:16
  Speaker 9: They defaced the pride rainbow.
• 47:18
  Speaker 10: With a Bible verse telling.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: The LGBT community that they do not own the rainbow,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: that God owns the rainbow.
• 47:26
  Speaker 13: Sid Ziegler, co-founder of Outsports, calls the Pride Night display disgraceful.
• 47:31
  Speaker 12: If I were a Giants fan, I would never attend
• 47:33
  Speaker 12: a game again.
• 47:34
  Speaker 13: In a statement, the Giants organization telling ABC7 Eyewitness News,
• 47:38
  Speaker 13: the San Francisco Giants are proud to support Pride Night
• 47:41
  Speaker 13: and the LGBTQ plus community. We also respect that individuals
• 47:45
  Speaker 13: may make personal choices about participating in team activations.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: The Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer, he has sued Major
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: League Baseball over this. And on Monday afternoon, Major League
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Baseball walked it back, and they're not going to get
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: these players in trouble for what they did. I just
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: wish all of it would go away. Just put on
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: a baseball uniform. Same thing with, what's his face, Colin
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Kaepernick years ago. And the NFL got ridiculous putting stuff
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: on their helmets. Just keep it all out of sports.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Keep it all out of entertainment. Leave us alone. Let's
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: just go about our lives.
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: What was the San Francisco team name again? They're the Giants.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: For those of.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: You watching that don't know, Matt knows nothing about any sports.
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: I forgot the team name for 15 seconds ago, which
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: is where I'm at. But the guy who I guess
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: has never been to a Giants game was saying, well,
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: if I did go to Giants games, now I wouldn't.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: He showed them. Yeah, I'm going to start boycotting Rolex.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: I've never bought one, but I'm never spending 50 grand
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: on a watch ever again.
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: It's just a bizarre argument to make. Also, his claim
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: saying we don't own the rainbow. He thinks gay people
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: don't own the rainbow. How do you own a rainbow?
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: If anyone's going to own a rainbow, it's got to
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: be God. I don't see how you could have rainbow ownership.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it seems like Pride Month is not what
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: it used to be, and that's a good thing.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just, I hate the rhetoric, the cliches of like,
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: love is love. You don't, you don't get to define
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: words with words like houses or houses or couches. It
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: tells me nothing. I think I learned that in the
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: third grade. Non-gay people are also capable of love. So
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: what do we, I don't know. I quote, I like
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: the GD dance quote, Trump's president. We don't do this anymore.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Good enough.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's been much quieter this year for Pride Month.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: That's a good thing. We have one more here before
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: we get to the end of the program, and this
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: is Keith Ellison. He is the attorney general in Minnesota,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: and this is about the fraud, and he's being questioned
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: by a reporter. Let's go to this clip.
• 49:55
  Speaker 14: If you look at, if you ask the newspapers for
• 49:59
  Speaker 14: a forensic accounting report, The number you mentioned is tightly
• 50:05
  Speaker 14: identified with people of a very unique political persuasion.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Aligned with the Trump administration.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: So I'm done talking to you.
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: Bye-bye.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: No, I just wanted you to clear up the number.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not quoting. I'm quoting several reports.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: It's wrong, though.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: And if you're a real reporter, you should know that.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: I will report that you're saying it's wrong.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: And he stormed off, and he's talking about the Somalians
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: and the fraud in Minnesota.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was... We didn't see it in the clip,
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: but the reporter was quoting the $ 9 billion fraud statistic. Ultimately,
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: we don't actually know what the total is because there's
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: undiscovered fraud and all that. But I hate to be
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: Keith Ellison's PR guy, but this is how you handle
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: a situation.
• 50:48
  Speaker 9: You go.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the $ 90 billion figure has been getting a lot
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: of play, but it's important to understand it's actually just
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: an estimate some random guy came up with. Our internal
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: estimates actually show it's far smaller. It's actually a blah, blah,
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: blah billion. Now, the problem with that is going, actually,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: it's only $ 5 billion. You still look like an asshole.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: But I assume that's why he wouldn't answer the question
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: because their internal numbers are probably lower than the.
• 51:15
  Speaker 9: $ 9 billion.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: And I think you and I have even... We talked
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: about it on the radio show.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: I was talking about how the $ 9 billion is probably
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: an extrapolation or artificially a high number.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you where that number came from.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: It is in the billions, for sure. Yeah, let me
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: tell you where that number came from. The U.S. attorney
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: there in Minnesota, when all of this started, there was
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: $ 18 billion that was allocated, appropriated to Minnesota for these
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: programs over a four-year period of time. And the U.S.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: attorney at that time said, there may be as much
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: as possibly... half of that number could be fraud. So
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: that's where the $ 9 billion came up with. And everybody
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: ran with $ 9 billion. Like you said, nobody really knows.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: It really doesn't matter whether it's $ 1 billion, $ 2 billion,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: $ 3 billion, or $ 4 billion. It's a lot of money.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: It's not $ 8 billion.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, Nick Shirley in like five minutes can uncover
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: $ 100 million on a single block. So I'm going to
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: go ahead and say, and what is the ratio of
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: real daycares to fake daycares there? I would not be
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: surprised if there's more fake ones at this point, but
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: I don't want to assume.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: What do we look for this week, Matt? Anything on
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: your radar this week? I know SCOTUS is going to
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: have some more decisions, so we'll keep looking for birthright citizenship.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, it's not looking great just based on it seems
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: like they're going to roll with precedent, even though we
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: think the precedent is wrong. I don't really get that.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: And also the betting markets are overwhelmingly saying it's going
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: to get upheld, which is, listen, it's a horrible thing.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, even if it was struck down, I mean,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: I guess they're not going to retroactively remove citizenship, which
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: is a disappointment, and the process is quite laborious, but
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: they could have at least nipped it in the bud.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Seems like that's not going to happen. Iran, Iran, Iran,
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: the details of the deal. Hopefully, we'll actually get some
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: real details. Hopefully, it will be good.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to get a lot of
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: details on that.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: I don't either, but I'm holding out hope.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: The clock just started on 60 days, I think, Like
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: I said earlier in this hour, it's going to be
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: like a carrot dangling out in front of the Iranians,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: and they're going to accomplish something to get something. They're
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: releasing money. Scott Besant on Monday, he said, okay, you
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: can sell oil now on the open market, which will
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: help the Iranian people who are dealing with over 100% inflation.
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: They can sell oil to everybody but Cuba, North Korea,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: and the Crimea region, everybody else.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: Cuba's they um just voted their communist legislature unanimously to
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: it was like a it's like 170 or so i
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: believe free market type reforms and this is obviously in
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: response to trump putting all this pressure on them but
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: it is you know a sort of berlin wall moment
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: for trump if you will without any real uprising it
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: was something they forced the government to do on their
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: own and It's things like allowing foreign investment, allowing people
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: like allowing for the future privatization of real estate, of
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: state-owned real estate, allowing for private banks. They have. currently very,
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: very micro capitalism in Cuba and that you can own
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: a business, but you can only have one. You can't
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: have a franchise. You can't have multiple stores, even under
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: a different brand. You can only have certain numbers of
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: employees that they're going to do with those regulations. So
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: I think the beginning is something really, really good in Cuba.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of progress
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: on a week to week, month to month basis there.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: Ultimately with Iran, I think there has to be regime change.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: And I've been consistent. I've said that since the beginning.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it happens. I know it has
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: to happen from within. But until we get that, I'm
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: not sure that anything that Iran says or signs on
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: a piece of paper really means much of anything. But, Matt,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: we are to the end of our time here. Matt,
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: we'll do it again next week. What do you say?
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: Sounds good to me.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: There is only one truth. You've been listening to The
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
