  Speaker 1: You're listen Saints KFI AM six forty the bill handles
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeartRadio ff I AM six
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: forty bill Handle Here. It is a Tuesday morning, November
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: twenty five. After tomorrow Thanksgiving, Neil will be filling in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: for me as he does every Thanksgiving, answering questions about
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: turkeys and sides and all kinds of stuff. Oh, all
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: kinds of stuff in Okay, that almost worked, fair enough.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yesterday was a big, big day in the world of
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: national politics and the law. It was probably going to happen.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: The attorneys for James Comey and Letitia James had asked
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: that the court toss the criminal charges against them, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what the federal judge did. Now, it's a
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: little complex and it's more procedural technical than anything else.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But the argument was that the loyalist prosecutor, and that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it's the only way you can describe her, President Trump
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: brought in to bring these cases, was put into her
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: job unlawfully. And here is the unlawful part. And this
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: is where the judge ruled. There is a rule that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: says when a president puts in an interim prosecutor, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that word gets rid of the existing prosecutor on the case,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: puts in an exit, puts in a new one only
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: has one hundred and twenty days. After one hundred and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: twenty days, the president can no longer put the prosecutor
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in place.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: That immediately goes to the court.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: The court determines the prosecution and then it has to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: go through the Senate and normal confirmation.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And it was past the one hundred and twenty days.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: And Pam Bondi what she did is she backdated a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: document saying that this prosecutor was not an interim prosecutor,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: she was a special prosecutor. And the judge said, you
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: can't backdate this stuff. That just doesn't work. So that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: is the legal technic technicality. Now let's talk about the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: bigger picture as of this moment. What the judge did
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is he dismissed it without prejudice, which means the government
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: can refile it. And then there's an issue with statute limitations,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and that is a technical issue too. There's a statue
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: run because Komi was indicted three days before the statute ended,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and the administration is saying, well, it told everything this dismissal,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and therefore the statute has six months to run, which
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: is what the law says. With Comy and Letitia are
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: saying this case and the judge used the word ab initio,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: which means from the beginning, this thing sucked and was
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not valid. So there is an argument, and then the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: politics of this. The prosecutor, the original prosecutor, Cybert, who
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is the US attorney within the Eastern District of Virginia
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: who filed this case, said there ain't enough evidence here.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: He was tossed. And Trump brings in.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: His personal lawyer, who was his personal lawyer and gives
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: her the job of US attorney. And she does not
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: have thirty seconds of prosecutorial experience, has never tried a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: case in her life, and of course the Press secretary
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump said she is qualified. You don't really
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: need proscriptorial experience. Any lawyer will do as long as
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: it is someone who is loyal to the president. And
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: so this thing becomes a political mess. See also, the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: other argument is going to be that this is clearly
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a political move. It is prosecutorial misconduct the Justice Department.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: This cannot go forward because it is just Donald Trump
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: ordering the Justice Department to move forward and using the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Justice Department as a political foil to attack his perceived enemies.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: That is the reason you can't do that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: A president cannot use the Justice Department to attack political enemies.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: It just isn't allowed. So this goes on and on.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So now the Justice Department has two ways to go.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Number one, appealing this decision and I'll go up to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. They can go directly to the Supreme
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Court actually or refiling the case.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: They can't do both. They have to do one or
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: the other.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: My guess is they're going to refile the case, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: my guess is they're going to be bringing in a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: prosecutor that actually has experience, a season prosecutor.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, what she.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Did is just completely just doesn't know what she's talking about.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And we're talking about what's her name. The attorney Halligan
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: went in front of the judge and the judge said
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you and the argument was you didn't even show the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: grand jury the entire indictment, which the law forces you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to do. Her answer was brilliant, I thought.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And the judge nailed her for that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It's this thing is a political mess, and this is
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the president using the Justice Department to go after enemies,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: perceived enemies. We just talked about the James Comey and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Leticia James case that was tossed by the federal judge.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: At the same time, it was announced that the Pentagon
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: has launched.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: An investigation into Mark Kelly after that video that he
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: produced with five other Democratic colleagues reminding US service members
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it was their duty to disobey unlawful orders. Now a
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: couple of things. Are they allowed to say this? Absolutely?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Is this sedition as the Pentagon and the President is
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: portraying it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: It is not. Is it political? Oh you bet it is.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It is a straight political shot at the President. So
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the Pentagon launches and this investigation after receiving serious allegations
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of misconduct, and they're opening up this investigation just as
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to Mark Kelly, a sitting senator from Arizona. Now, why
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: not the other five? Well, because the other five aren't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: under the jurisdiction of the military.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But wait, a sec. Mark Kelly is not either. Oh
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: yes he is.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: He is a retired captain and still receiving benefits and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: can actually be recalled to active duty and can then
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: be court martialed for what he said. Maybe actually not
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: have there been retired military that have been brought back
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: and court martialed.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Was for misconduct while they were in the military. There
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: has never been one where what happens as a civilian
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: then is prosecuted as a military member. That's for starters.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: The other thing is this is a sitting senator and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that's never happened before. Now is an investigation going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: be opened up?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Not a chance.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Is he going to be recalled for the purposes of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: court martial?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Not a chance.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: But the bigger picture is the president calling this sedition
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and the death penalty should apply. Okay, by the way,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the law doesn't allow that. But so what I mean,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: what do we care about the law? Assuming that sedition
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: does fly and it's the worst case, can a judge
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: give twenty years yes?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Does a judge give twenty years? No?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Because the argument is they weren't telling people to overthrow
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the government, because that's what sedition is about. It's about
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: aiding and betting and trying to overthrow the government, which
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: happened January sixth with the attack on on the Capitol,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: which of course everybody was pardoned because they were patriots.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Mark Kelly, who is saying you not only are this
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: group saying, not only do you have the right to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: disobey illegal orders, you have a duty to disobey illegal orders.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Quick order about illegal orders.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And that is what Caroline can Levitt said, is that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: duty members have to obey what superiors say. Excuse me, okay,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: And if you commit any kind of a crime, if
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's illegal, the argument is, but I was ordered to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: That's what she's saying.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You are ordered to do it. So let me give
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: you an example. Maybe it's a little hyperbolic, and it is.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: What if the president has declared that a demonstration is
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a national emergency and it's a rebellion against the United States,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and the Pentagon orders the military to shoot unarmed civilians
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: with their hands in the air.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And they're to be shot. That's the order.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Service people are not allowed to do that. It is unlawful.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: And if someone does do that, they are criminally liable.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You know why, following orders is not a defense. That's
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the Nuremberg defense. These are what the Nazi said after
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: World War Two. I was just following orders. Therefore I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: am not liable. It's my superiors are libel. So the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Nuremberg defense would never fly. Here, and an order that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is clearly illegal must not be followed. Now, they didn't
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: say what order. By the way, you can say that
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: this is First Amendment stuff. You're allowed to say orders.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: You're basically you're quoting military code. It's right there. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of course any statement saying that you are to disregard
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: orders from your superiors in.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: The Pentagon I have to be ignored.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And of course, what is the administration gonna do, because
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: what pete what the president tells Pete, Pete Hegseth to do,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth does. And you know, even it's completely ridiculous
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: because they're talking about bringing him back. That's Kelly, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: they're talking about uh, then he's active duty again, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: then he gets court martialed for what he did. It's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: never happened before. He's a private citizen. And he quoted
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: what military law is. But that is insubordination, that is sedition.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: That is a crime, and it's the overthrowing of the government,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: by the way, nothing specific, nothing specific at all. It's
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: he's an enemy. Therefore, let's go after him in any
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: way we can. And the easiest way we can is
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to open up an investigation and somehow somewhere figure out
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: a way to bring him back, which they can do,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and then we'll current court martial him for something he
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: said outside of the military. As a civilian, I'd love
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to see that case. Is it going to happen? Of
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: course not, It will never happen. Can you imagine what
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: would happen if that were the case? This thing would
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: blow up to the point where I don't know what
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: the administration could possibly say. But then again, some crazy
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: stuff is going against this interm against people with this
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: some this administration, some weird, weird stuff is going down.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: The bottom line is that the president, the administration wants absolute,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: undying loyalty. That's it. It's that simple. There's the line.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: You are loyal, you get and get away with anything.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: You can attack the capital, you can defraud the government,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you can defraud investors to the tune of hundreds of
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars. It's okay as long as you are loyal.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: If you are not loyal, if for example, you are
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: accused of on an application putting down that you live
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: in one place and not the other, that should be
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: prosecuted and charged to the fullest extent of the law.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Felony.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Let's put her in jail for as long as possible.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: That's actually happening. By the way, you know I'm telling you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I know I'm biased on this stuff, and you know
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I'm biased completely, But tell me that's not true. Tell
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: me that loyalists are not being rewarded and people that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: are against the administration are not being punished. All right,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: this Thanksgiving Day after tomorrow, this is when people forget
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: their problems. This is when you set aside what's going
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: on in the world and you're with family. Well, let
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: me tell you what's probably going to happen. And I
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: want to bring this to the table too. Let's start
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: with the wholesale cost of turkey last week abuck sixty
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: six a pound. That's up seventy percent from ninety eight
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: cents a pound at this time last year. The Index
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: of Consumer Sentiment, it's a survey maintained by the University
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of Michigan since nineteen fifty eight, is the lowest it's
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: been in forty years, lower than the worst days of COVID,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: lower than the financial crisis of two thousand and eight,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: lower than the wake of the eight nineteen eighty seven
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: stock market crash anxiety.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: It's all over this Thanksgiving.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Forty million Americans are facing uncertainty as their SNAP benefits
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: were suspended.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: That was a problem that was during the government.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Shutdownption the disruption of the air traffic controllers because of
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the shutdown. Holiday travel, Well, they're still talking about holiday
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: travel and worrying about it because of the weather on
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: this one does mean you don't worry about it. Hundreds
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of thousands of federal employees missed their paychecks. They just
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: didn't get paid. And then how about these surprise immigration
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and custom enforcement raids, which is pissing off a lot
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: of people. And if you know any Hispanic person out there,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you know that they're running really scared on again, off
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: again tariffs AI that is scaring a whole lot of people. Now,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: is it as bad as the granddaddy of all anxieties
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: which we suffer from when I was a kid, nuclear annihilation?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: We're worse off than that.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Our confidence in the world is worse off than we
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: were thinking about getting the world blown into little pieces.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I forget.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: You've got Washington and Moscow talking about resuming nuclear testing.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Todd coushten. Interesting word that has been developed here that
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: he coined. He's a psychologist and the founder of the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Well Being Laboratory at George Mason University. I have no
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: idea what the hell that is? Go figure, and he
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: used the word loomingness, fear that a threat is getting
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: closer or moving faster than desired. And you have no
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: idea how bad this thing is going to get. Those
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: of you in the computer world, especially in the areas
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: where AI can affect you, you've got some problems. Now,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: rarefied air. If you're at the top of the heap,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do fine. If you're up there making four
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: hundred grand year and you're running entire divisions and you're
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: running cybersecurity divisions for a company, you're probably we're going
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to do okay.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: How about entry level done? AI is doing all of it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: If you're a new attorney, you got some big problems
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: because AI can do all the research for you.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: AI can write briefs. Now.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: On the one hand, financial markets are at just at
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: an all time high.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at where the stock market is. It's never
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: been higher day to day.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But for every news story about these valuations of Nvidia
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and open AI, there's another story about the AI bubble.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: That's the other thing we're possibly looking at because when
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: this thing explodes, and it has to because what goes up,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: while in this case, what goes up goes up and
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: keeps on going up wrong. And the argument is this
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the AI movement and the cost of what it takes
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to put in place these AI centers and these data centers.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: A lot of economists saying they will never be able
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to pay paid back, never and the numbers are just
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: not the same. So on average, Americans think there's a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: twenty three percent chance they're gonna lose their jobs in
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the next five years, which is, by the way, pretty
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I think that's a low figure, and that's as high
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: as that number has ever ever been.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Have a happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy it with your family.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Because it'll probably be the last Thanksgiving that you'll ever
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: have because coming next Thanksgiving, you're gonna by then you're
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: gonna blow your brains out and you won't be enjoying
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it as much.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: So in enjoy, enjoy.
• 18:43
