  Speaker 1: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the first thing today?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Hashtag black Friday matters, what too soon? Thank you for
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: letting us be of service to you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're still here and I hope you survived your Thanksgiving.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: However it challenges you. They are challenging these holidays because
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: we get into our rhythms, we get into our rituals,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: and these holidays just throw them caddiewampus before you even
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: can say go personal experience. For decades, decades, we have
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: been the travelers. We are America's guests. Whether it's my family,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: my wife's family, we're going somewhere on a holiday, I'm
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: on location, it's New Jersey, it's Long Island, it's you know,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: wherever we are. Because my sister and my wife's sister
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: always had bigger houses than we did, more space, et cetera,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: et cetera, and maybe they just don't like us that
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: much they want to travel to us. But this year,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: for the first time, we said, no, Thanksgiving is going
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: to be at our house.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: We own house, we've owned it for four years now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: We've got plenty of room quote unquote.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: We have room. Let's just put it that way.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: We have our own kitchen, we have our own place,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: and our kids all came yesterday.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: But I will tell you something. It throws you.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: My circadian rhythm is fine, but all the things that
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I usually do on Thanksgiving, given what is in the
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: best case scenario, an eight or nine hour drive to somewhere,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: is a lot of quote paperwork, usually sent out greeting
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: cards to folks and things like that, while my wife
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: drives to wherever we're going to and I haven't done
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: that yet. So if you haven't received or if you
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: receive a Thanksgiving greeting guard from me today, it's because
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I have the time, because it was crazy making to
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: get everything done, get everything prepared. You don't realize, I mean,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: you think the travel is a challenge or somebody coming
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: to visit you, And certainly it isn't easy, especially if
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: you have to do TSA and everything else and connecting flights,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: But hosting has its own and different challenges there as well,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: So we're clear of that. The refrigerators full of leftovers,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: which I'm sure we will have to walk off at
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: some point this morning, but I hope that you and
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the challenges you faced on Thanksgiving were worth it for
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: the get together. My son has been transferring My father
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: in law was one of those guys who had a super.

• 3:09
  Speaker 3: in the sixties, all the way through the twenty tens,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: I guess, And so there's videotape of all this stuff
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: and my son's been transferring it digitally. And as I
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: hit the rack last night, they were settling in to

  Speaker 3: my then two year old son in Orlando, Florida and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: with family from all of Scotland and everything else. So

• 8:42
  Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Gotta go see the Penguin. You've never seen.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: A Blues Brothers movie, the original one, so the crux
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: of it, of course, they have to get to go.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: See Steven Spielberg standing behind the desk of the Cook
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: the Cook County Administrator's office to pay the the Penguin's bill, the.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Tax bill assist.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: It's can considering this was a throwaway that John Belushi
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: and Dan Ackroyd sort of had, you know, just worked
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: up as a side bit and they were five minutes
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: short on content for an episode and they put on
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: the black ties and the white shirts and just had
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: some fun with Paul Schaeffer and the band.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: What became of the Blues Brothers was worth it. But
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: they're in the Cook County. The Penguin's gonna need.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: To pay some extra taxes. I'm going to have to
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: sell more cheese book and Chee Boogie Chee Boogie because
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: they've just passed a permanent guaranteed income program. And we've
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: talked about this in the abstract that leftists get to
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: campaign on freedom and conservatives get the campaign on freedom.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: And it's puzzling to most consumers of this kind of
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: news and information.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: They're like, how can JB.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Pritzker and Ron DeSantis both be claiming that they're trying
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: to bring freedom to their people? It both can't be true. Well,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: in their minds they are, because what this Cook County
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: what's it called. I've got the website up here in
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: case you want to apply. Listening out there, you know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: it's called the Cook County Promise. The Cook County Promise
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Guaranteed Income Pilot program provides unconditional five hundred dollars monthly
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: cash payments to three thousand, two hundred and fifty load
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: of moderate income families in Cook County for the.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Past two years.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: And some of this that's I was reading from the
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Cook County Promise Guarantee website. Statistics. According to Cook County, Illinois,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: twenty one thousand dollars was the median household income. Now,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: do a little arithmetic, as Ronald Reagan once said, and
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: you realize a couple of things about that statistic. So
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: if twenty one thousand dollars is the median income, that's
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: four hundred dollars a week. And if that's four hundred
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: dollars a week divided by forty hours a week, that's
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: ten dollars just over ten dollars an hour. And what
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: has happened? And this should be indicative of the other thing.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if the Cook County Republican Committee
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: has the intestical fortitude to even stand up to stuff
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: like this. But in cities that are considered to be prosperous,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: and when cities like Los Angeles and New York are
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: having their problem, Chicago has managed to continue to be
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: relatively immune to some of the things that the coastal
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: elites wind up having happen in their big cities, despite
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: the fact that and maybe it's because they shoot.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Dozens upon dozens.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Of people every weekend, and so when you look at
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: your four hundred dollars take home pay, you're like, well,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: at least I'm not dead. That's just as likely as
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: getting this Cook County Promise guaranteed income. But in the abstract,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: as I was saying, a guy like JB. Pritzker in
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Illinois and Ron de Sandis in Florida can both campaign
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: for freedom. Ron de Santis, we hope is still or
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: maybe Byron Donald's would be a good example, since he's
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: running four governor running on the idea of you should
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: be free to earn as much as you can for
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: the things that you do if you find a way
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: that people need them.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: JB.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Pritzker, on the other hand, his vision of freedom is
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: freedom from worrying about money, freedom from worrying about paying bills.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: And according to this pilot program out of Cook County
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: to Chicago, seventy five percent of the people in the
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: survey reported feeling more financially secure.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but that's a pretty low number.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I know it's more than a half.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: But if you're handing out, you know, five hundred dollars
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: a month, understand, that's five hundred dollars a month to
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: people that take home four hundred dollars a week.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: So it's a it's a little bit so as it
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: was that twelve hundred dollars five hundred. Yeah, this is New.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: York City public school education, so about forty percent. The
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: county just gives you forty percent of what you would
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: normally earn anyway, and they don't and they don't have that,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: you know, back off where you know you can go
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: too far, but you have income levels.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: And here's the catch.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: The money for the pilot program came from ARPA, the
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: the American Rescue Plan Act, which was post COVID Biden administration. Hey,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: we've been giving you money for the last two years
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: and now we're done. But nobody wants to go out,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: so here's money. It was the same thing they did
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: with the stimulus checks after September eleventh. Here, here's money,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Go shopping. More statistics from this. The median age of
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: participants is so far forty years old. Fifty six percent
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: are employed, which makes you wonder about this twenty one
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars median household income. Fifty eight percent of the
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: households include children, but only fifty six percent are working.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: And yet they that programs like this don't decrease employment,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: and they cite Stockton, California, and Alaska, and you know,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the Alaska Permanent Fund is interesting because the Alaska Permanent
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Fund is a program that was designed to reward Alaskans
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: for the fact that the oil industry was, you know,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: gathering so much of their raw material from Alaska and
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: that had created such tax revenue, such tax large ass
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: that the Alaskan government had said, this is this is
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: a little embarrassing, so as a dividend to the Alaskan
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: citizens for this large ass. So it's not even the
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: same thing, but they're comparing it because they want to.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: But so it's freedom from want's that's what guys like
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Pritzker are running on.

• 24:31
  Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 1: The first Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Media Network.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: High Wait, what hang on now?
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: I jus free, will.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Free, Oh.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: We will gather on either end of the hill and
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: hack each other with our metaphorical broadswords to get our
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: guy chosen King to give the things that we want
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: them to give us. The Chicago program is a precedent setting,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: uh matter, and I love the way they dragged the
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: Alaska program in there, which has nothing to do with welfare.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: It had to do with the fact that the state
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: was making bookoo tax revenue off of the oil industry,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: and that they just felt like, you know what, Alaskans
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: are benefiting from the fact that the oil industry is
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: up here and tapping into our and lord knows what
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: will happen now that they found this rare earth elements
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: deposit under GNOME. And so this guaranteed income program isn't
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the same as.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Cook County, Illinois. Cook County, Illinois is.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Other people's money, tax money that has to be taken
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: from other people and redistributed to people. So here's a
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: couple of the quick qualifications on this. So you have
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: to make two hundred and fifty percent or four times
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: the annual poverty level at the federal level, which is
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: fifteen thousand dollars. So you have to make sixty thousand
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: dollars or less in Chicago, which I would qualify for
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: and probably you would qualify for. But you yeah, we
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: don't live in Chicago, so you know, we count our
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: blessings where we can. And then there's a couple of
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: other qualifications for where did where did those go?
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Here you go?
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: You must be at least eighteen resident of Cook County.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I guess that presumes an American citizen as well. No, no,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: it's resident of Coke County, so it doesn't have You
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: don't have to be a citizen of Coke County. You
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: have to be a resident of Coke County. And you
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: have to currently not be receiving funds from any other
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: guaranteed income program out there, and you can't be a
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Cook County employee or their family members, which, given the
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: way Cook County does job growth is a dwindling number
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: of participants. It's sad that they have to put that
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: in there so poorly paid, at least by the base
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: of what it costs to live in the Chicago area,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: that they have to make sure that their own city
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: and county employees don't wind up lining up for this
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: guaranteed income program. But this is the freedom of the left,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: freedom from being worried about having to pay your bills.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: This is from the Cook County Promise website where do
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: they Go? It talks about these social statistics. Decades of
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: research shows that people spend cash benefits wisely. This is
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: from Cook County Board President Tony Prekwingle. They spend cash wisely,
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: leading to more financial stability as well as improved physical, emotional,
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: and social outcomes. And the phrases like that mean nothing
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: but sound nice. And historically both public and private institutions
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: have been unwilling to directly invest in low and moderate
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: income people. So the presumption from this Cook County Board
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: president is you're just guaranteed to have low income people.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: You are one of those low income people.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Here, you are.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: It's not a lot, but it's your life, it's your
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: lot in life. Let me get to you at four
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: three four eight eight two four two one seven. First
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: thing with Joe this morning.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Who's this?
• 32:35
  Speaker 19: Hey, this is Moscow, Bob. And to understand, remember you
• 32:40
  Speaker 19: said median income, So that means the majority of citizen
• 32:45
  Speaker 19: residents in Cook County are making less than what you said.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: No, that was the program participant's median income was twenty
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: one thousand dollars.
• 32:59
  Speaker 19: Right, So that means there's majority less than twenty one thousand.
• 33:02
  Speaker 19: The other thing, this is being stated as resident. This
• 33:07
  Speaker 19: is a way to get around being an illegal immigrant
• 33:11
  Speaker 19: collecting money.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's say you just have to live here.
• 33:15
  Speaker 19: Yeah, yes, that's all you said. It's just circumventing the
• 33:20
  Speaker 19: rules to take legal citizens, hardworking people that live in
• 33:25
  Speaker 19: Chicago and the African Ammusitan African American community and the
• 33:30
  Speaker 19: Hispanic American community that are here legally, taking money out
• 33:34
  Speaker 19: of their pockets and giving it to those that came
• 33:37
  Speaker 19: here illegally. That's why the majority of Hispanics and the
• 33:41
  Speaker 19: majority of African Americans are dead set against all this
• 33:47
  Speaker 19: immigration and the legal immigration, because it's taking money out
• 33:51
  Speaker 19: of their pockets.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Right, and it's forcing them to look at programs like this,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: even for the legitimate citizens of Chicago. And it's it's
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: a shame that it's but this is just another one
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: of these big American cities where the income disparity has
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: been allowed to grow. And I'm not trying to say
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: allowed to in the kind of Bernie Sanders way, but
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: we have, through cronyism, which is instead of capitalism, we
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: have cronyism allowed income disparities to grow. There are regulations
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: that have to be lifted so that we can all
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: prosper when the American economy prospers.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: But right now that's not happening.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: And it's feeding the fuel of Marxism because the worse
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: it gets. And I've said it before and I'll say
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: it again, since the War on Poverty started in nineteen
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: sixty four, we have four times as many people living
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: below the federal poverty levels. And that's disappointing, but almost predictable.
• 34:57
  Speaker 19: Right because it's a communistic shut up capitalism. Capitalism, unfortunately,
• 35:04
  Speaker 19: is in communistic way, is a form of communism because
• 35:09
  Speaker 19: it basically eliminates the middle plaid and it goes to
• 35:15
  Speaker 19: a two tier structure system because the wealthy and the
• 35:19
  Speaker 19: VIPs and the ones that have connections are consistently increasing
• 35:24
  Speaker 19: their wealth while everyone else is getting consistently horror, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 19: that's what's happening now. And you're going to hit a
• 35:35
  Speaker 19: point where something like what happened in the Roman Empire
• 35:40
  Speaker 19: and the German Empire in Russia under Lenin, it's going
• 35:44
  Speaker 19: to happen in the United States or worldwide. You're going
• 35:47
  Speaker 19: to see the systematic genocide of populations around the world
• 35:54
  Speaker 19: because there's the only way they can survives.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: It'll be in a battle, they will you raise the
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: flag and say it's the revolution, and we've got to
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: go take those greedy bastards, the oligarchs, and we're.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Allowing it to happen.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: And this is the thing that I look at the
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: pro business Republicans, not that they are, you know, the
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: sun source of this, but they are the blame because
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: they're the ones.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not that Republican Party members are guaranteed
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: to be conservative, but based on experience, that's the only
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: political party I find any of them. So I'm going
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: to look there, and it's these pro business Republicans who
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: hide behind I'm pro business as if that's a synonym
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: for capitalists, and they're not. You're being pro businesses, not
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: being pro free market.
• 36:53
  Speaker 19: And people have to understand that this is not a
• 36:56
  Speaker 19: Democrat or Republican issue. It's it's a VIP, those that
• 37:04
  Speaker 19: have lots of money taking control and trying to force
• 37:08
  Speaker 19: everyone else that doesn't have money how to live their lives. Yep,
• 37:13
  Speaker 19: that's what it is. It's not a Republican democrat and
• 37:18
  Speaker 19: they're proposing it this way to make the majority of
• 37:22
  Speaker 19: people so stupid to not realize that they're being forced
• 37:27
  Speaker 19: into poverty by the wealthy government employee, government senators and
• 37:35
  Speaker 19: congressmen and whoever may be. Look at look at look
• 37:38
  Speaker 19: at Bill Gates. He's made all his money and his
• 37:42
  Speaker 19: foundation has made all his money off of using poor
• 37:46
  Speaker 19: people through their foundation, through the vaccine, through the global warming.
• 37:51
  Speaker 19: How many trillions of dollars was he his company's.

  Speaker 3: Ray Charles here, but I want to bring this story
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: back anyway. And it's water under the bridge now. Because
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: holidays are wonderful and one of the reasons we with
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Saturday Morning program is people like to sneak sally out
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: the alley. People will do things late Friday hoping that
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: and fewer Americans see the story that's going to be
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: problematic to them and or wanting to dodge this. So
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: just to be a fly in that ointment, checking around
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: to see how many people are back at the broadcast
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: microphones this morning. We told you the story yesterday, So
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: if you were tuned in yesterday morning, God bless you
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: for spending Thanksgiving morning with us. But I'm seeing the
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: red lights are on much more frequently around the country
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: this morning. More of a traditional audience, even if you
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: are lining up for some vestige of a Black Friday situation.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: This morning, but more and more folks back to a
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: normal ish schedule, and I think we'll continue to make
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: sure this story is heard as we get into next
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: week and people are back at the office at et cetera,
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: so on and so forth. But out of Fulton County, Georgia,
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: Fanny Willis's case, the Rico case against President Trump at al.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: Has been dismissed. It was dismissed Wednesday afternoon, so that
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: you know, you're frantic trying to get ready for Thanksgiving,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: would render you unable to sit down and fully grasp
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: the fact that after.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: All this in a classic, classic.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Example of the indictment makes the front page. The exoneration
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: is on page thirty four, next to the crossword puzzle.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: It's classic.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: How many months was this the lead story and or
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: conversation point on CNN MSNBC now known as MS now,
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: The View Anderson Cooper four twenty.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: The Daily Show.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: How many months were you inundated with Trump? Rico Trump's
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: phone call to Governor Kemp.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: You gotta find me up, you know.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: And even even if you look at the transcript of
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: the phone call, Donald Trump didn't say what the press
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: told you. He said in traditional form this is what
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: they do with Donald Trump hashtag very fine people's there.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: I can tell you there were very fine people on
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: both sides of that street in Charlottesville. So anyone who
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: wants to argue otherwise, my number is four three four
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: eight A two four two one seven. And he was
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: not speaking about the Nazis in any event, Donald trum
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Trump's phone call to Governor Kemp, the electors that were
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: ready to stand with Donald Trump if the election results
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: were challenged. Everything that was going to happen up until
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: two hundred some odd FBI agent provocateurs are alleged to
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: have encouraged MAGA supporters from a rally at the Rose
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: Garden to go in and visit your senator at the
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: Capitol building. Go ahead to your building. We the people,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: this is your office building. You're the owner of the company.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: Why shouldn't you be allowed into the building. Aside from
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: the fact that there are federal laws that say you
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: can't come into the US Capitol unless you're invited, but
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: these agent provocateurs are alleged to have encouraged the folks
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: to go visit. Go visit and have some words with
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: your senators and your congress people.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: And then they did.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: And you know who won that day, Joe Biden, because
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: you know what they did, they suspended the Senate.
• 49:14
  Speaker 15: And the.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: Electoral College results and they just proclaimed them to be verified,
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: and then within six months had changed the rules. So
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: now folks like Maxine Waters, who traditionally would get up
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: in two thousand, I think Maxine Waters almost filibustered the
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: whole proceedings of accepting the electoral college results. Debbie Wasserman
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Schultz did in two thousand as well, representative of Florida,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: and they had Al Gore, had Florida electors standing by.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: So all of those things we brought as counterpoints to
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: the narrative of Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Wednesday dismissed the racketeering case that is the famed work
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: product of the disgraced Fanny Willis. He granted the request
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: to dismiss shortly after Pete Scandalacus, director of the Prosecuting
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: Attorney's Council of Georgia, had requested the case be dropped
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: quote to serve the interests of justice and promote judicial finality.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: I remember the Prosecuting Attorney's Council of Georgia were the
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: ones who brought the case. I have some personal experience
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: of what happens when you get sued by somebody and
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: then they take a powder. This was the last criminal case.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: This is from the Washington Examiner. The last criminal case
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: lingering for Trump after the in federal indictments against him
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: for allegations of attempting to overturn the twenty twenty election.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Yet I will guarantee you for the next ten.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Years you will hear that he attempted to overturn the
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty election, a point to which I will pedantically say,
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: if the election results were fraudulent, then it should have
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: been overturned. But we won't know because somehow a bunch
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: of folks who were at the Trump rally decided to
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: go visit their senators and congress people in the Capitol
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: office building that if you didn't know the law said
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: you couldn't go in without an invitation specifically naming you
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: from your House or Senate representative or their chiefs of staff,
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: you would have thought, well, it's the Capitol building. I'm
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: the owner of the government and this is my office building.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: You're not allowed in.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: So all those folks got charged with trespassing, got held
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: in a cell. But more importantly, they suspended the acceptance
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: and then just deemed the Electoral College results to have
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: been verified. Nobody got a chance to challenge it, Ted Cruz.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: All these folks who had challenges to especially the Georgia
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: election results, none of them got their say because somehow
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: somebody was convinced that storming the Capitol Building would be
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: a good idea. Yet we still don't know anything more
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: about these two hundred some odd agent provocateurs of the
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Federal Bureau.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Of Instigation.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: Who won on January sixth, twenty twenty one, Joe Biden
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: in more ways than one.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
