more at Ever north.com/wonder. All

1:58

right, we got a great show. Let's

2:01

get to it. Thank you. I, uh... Well,

2:05

today I'm going to say it a little

2:07

differently. I know why I'm happy. They

2:10

reclassified weed. I don't know if you saw this story.

2:12

This is a very big issue. A

2:16

lot of good people have worked on this for a very long time. Marijuana

2:18

has been a classified... Schedule

2:21

I, which means it's lumped in with

2:23

acid and lots of really serious drugs.

2:25

Now they finally did this after decades

2:27

working on this. It's now classified 3.

2:30

I think it's in the same category

2:32

as Tylenol. Truly.

2:39

Not that split. Let's be fair. Not that they're

2:41

exactly alike. I would never do Tylenol before the

2:43

show. But,

2:49

uh... But

2:53

it's a very exciting time of year now for

2:56

parents and kids who are going on to college.

2:58

It's Decision Day, which is this week. That's what

3:00

kids decide or they find out if they're going

3:02

to get the attempt of their choice. I

3:07

didn't get...

3:11

I had

3:13

to go have a safety... Nothing

3:17

wrong with a safety attempt. But,

3:20

uh... Now, the police finally this week said enough's enough and

3:22

they broke up a lot of these encampments that have been

3:24

going on and they're trying to get a chance of peace.

3:27

Yeah, the

3:31

kids are fighting each other. Did you see

3:33

this? The University of Alabama. And

3:35

this says a lot about a lot

3:37

of things in this country. There was

3:39

pro-Israeli demonstrators and anti-Israeli devotagers. And at

3:41

one point they were both

3:44

chanting, Fuck Joe Biden. And

3:51

they said he couldn't unite America. And

3:55

that's not a good sign for the election. Well,

4:01

no, it's amazing. Some of the kids

4:03

in the tent, some of them are

4:06

the pro-Palestinian demonstrators are Jewish. I

4:09

cannot wrap my mind around this. Jews

4:12

camping? Meanwhile,

4:16

the homeless here are like,

4:18

can we have your dorm

4:20

rooms? And

4:23

some of these encampments are getting pretty grungy.

4:25

The kids say they would love to

4:34

do laundry, but they ate all the Tide Pods. So,

4:45

I don't know if this interests you, but the

4:47

Kentucky Derby is this weekend. Yeah, I

4:49

feel the same way. But,

4:52

listen, this is pretty interesting. The winning

4:54

horse will make $3.1

4:56

million, and the losers will

4:59

be shot by Kristi Noem. We've

5:05

been following this story. We did it

5:08

here last week. I thought it was a small story. Now

5:10

it's the biggest thing in the country. Kristi Noem,

5:13

she's the governor of North Dakota,

5:16

and auditioning to be vice president, as

5:18

so many are these days, for Donald

5:20

Trump. So she

5:22

puts out a book, and things are going to make

5:24

her look like a badass. She tells the story when

5:27

she shot her 14-month-old dog. Of course,

5:29

it made her the most unpopular politician ever.

5:31

I mean, like, no, she thought she was

5:33

going to win over people. Nope, liberals don't

5:35

like it. Conservatives don't like it. You know

5:37

who likes it? Cats. She's

5:42

not the cat, people. And

5:44

just the cats. And

5:48

I've heard people defend her. They say, well, you

5:50

know, shooting a dog is normal in some parts

5:52

of the country. If so is fucking

5:54

your sister, it doesn't make it right. And

6:03

of course, Trump had to weigh on in this, like

6:07

a dog. He had to weigh in. He

6:11

said shooting a dog is acceptable, but only

6:13

if the dog is shoplifting. In

6:25

other animal abuse news, we know now

6:27

that bird flu, we reported this last

6:29

week, moved to the dairy

6:33

area. And they

6:35

think it's because we're feeding the

6:38

cattle chicken shit.

6:41

Yeah. If

6:44

you think that's gross because of what came out

6:46

of a chicken's ass, just enjoy your eggs tomorrow.

6:52

And finally,

6:56

it is

6:58

Cinco de Mayo this weekend,

7:01

which is always, I'm

7:03

not saying, I've lived here

7:05

in L.A. for 40 years. It was always a big thing. Bigger

7:08

than in a lot of other parts of the country. I understand

7:10

that. We always had so much fun. The last

7:12

few years I've noticed, you know, not

7:14

so much fun because people are afraid

7:16

of cultural appropriation. Well, I

7:19

just want to say this year, just fucking enjoy it.

7:22

Okay. Anybody

7:28

who was going to give you shit about that was

7:31

just arrested at UCLA. Okay. We've

7:33

got a great show, Tony N Conway

7:35

and Joshua Green are here. But first

7:37

up, as a hot man for

7:39

the who, he is one of the greatest rock singers

7:41

of all time. His solo North

7:44

American tour kicks off in Pennsylvania on

7:46

June 10, his newest single, Going Home.

7:48

It's available to download now and raises

7:50

funds for Teen Cancer America. Roger Daltrey.

8:12

Thank you. You look great too. A

8:14

bag of laundry. Well,

8:18

you know, I was looking through some old pictures of you,

8:20

as I often do. First of all, I've just got to say thanks

8:23

for all the entertainment over the years. I

8:25

mean, you really are good. I have

8:31

to say thanks. Thank you, because

8:33

without your support, what would have

8:36

happened, I would have been a sheet metal worker. And

8:40

I wasn't very good at it. Yeah.

8:42

I don't think you ever would have been that. I

8:44

feel like if anyone was born to

8:47

be a rock god, like they

8:49

made it in a lab. I mean, look at yourself here. I mean, look at

8:52

some of these pictures of you. Yeah.

8:56

Oh, dear. That's

9:00

a little too much information. No.

9:03

I don't remember ever when I

9:05

was a kid seeing you with

9:07

a shirt on. And it

9:09

meant on for many years after. Do you

9:11

remember how old you were when you would

9:13

finally put a shirt

9:17

on? I get incredibly hot when I

9:19

sing. I don't know why. It's like

9:21

a furnace. So does the

9:25

audience. I

9:32

feel restricted with a shirt on. Often

9:34

it's wonderful. Well, it used to be

9:37

not quite when you're 80 years

9:39

old. 80, is that where

9:42

you're running out? Well, I was looking

9:44

over some of the other album covers. I mean,

9:46

I have the original LPs. And

9:48

I was just curious, as long as I have you here, I'm going to

9:50

ask you about the one for Who's Next, which

9:53

is one of the greatest albums of all time. What

10:01

is the pissing on Stonehenge? What

10:05

was that about? It

10:09

was two photos put together.

10:11

It was a concrete

10:13

obelisk that was holding up

10:16

what was a slag heap from a coal mine,

10:19

because we had a disaster in

10:21

England in Wales,

10:24

where one of the slag heaps slipped down on

10:26

the village and wiped the village out. So

10:28

they put these big concrete blocks in, which

10:33

for us it looked like the beginning of 2001 Space

10:36

Odyssey. So

10:39

we thought, well, that's an interesting photo, but when

10:41

we got to it, it was kind of boring.

10:43

It was a concrete lump. And

10:46

we thought, well, we just got out of the

10:48

group van and we thought, well, we

10:51

can use it as a rhino. Then

10:56

it became a competition where who could have

10:58

the highest pee? You

11:09

were very competitive. That's

11:12

a good thing in music, in art. I

11:14

thought you were on your pee. But

11:17

I mean, look, Pete Townshend, one

11:19

of the great songwriters of all time, but

11:21

people don't listen to songwriters.

11:23

They listen to songs. So

11:26

I guess what I'm asking is, do you think he

11:28

appreciates you? We're

11:31

still together. I mean, even

11:34

though it's always

11:36

been friction, but that's what

11:38

makes it so special. I

11:42

think he does. I think he does. Well,

11:45

that's good to hear because fans, we don't want mommy

11:47

and daddy to fight, you know? And

11:51

they always do. Why

11:53

can't people in bands like each other?

11:56

I get along with my coworkers. There's

11:58

no Simon and Garfunkel here. that we don't

12:00

talk to each other. But

12:05

we existed on friction. And

12:08

that's where the really good creation comes from. So

12:12

he had some great ideas, but then Keith

12:15

would have ideas, John, and everybody

12:17

would pitch in and it would take a great

12:19

idea and it would be a fantastic idea. And

12:23

that's what bands are really all about,

12:25

chemistry. Yours seemed more

12:27

violent. Well,

12:31

I was in a band, I was

12:33

the only straight guy with three

12:35

addicts. They were addicted

12:37

to everything, you name it. Whatever

12:40

was on the table, they would take it and take

12:42

it in great amounts. Whatever

12:44

was on the bar, they would drink it

12:46

and drink it in great amounts. It

12:48

wasn't easy to control that lot. So

12:51

someone had to, so now the game's like,

12:53

come on. Right, and you lost your drummer

12:56

from that. Well, yeah, that was kind of funny.

12:59

And you're doing a documentary about him, Keith

13:01

Moon. No, it's for want of a word,

13:03

and I hate the word now, because there

13:06

are so many of them being done. It's

13:08

a biopic, but I've worked

13:10

on it 30-odd years because

13:12

I'm determined to make a proper

13:14

film. Cinema, to me, has

13:17

lost its way. They don't know

13:19

whether it's to be cinema or streaming on TV

13:21

or in a theater. I mean,

13:23

they're making three and a half hour films. In

13:25

my opinion, that's an insult to an

13:27

audience. Anyone can sit for three and a

13:29

half hours without going out for a pee. They

13:32

deserve a medal. I

13:40

want to make the film of Keith Moon because he

13:42

had an incredible life. He

13:45

was extraordinarily talented. He

13:47

was the funniest man I've ever met in my life. Often

13:49

said Rock's greatest drummer. He was. He

13:52

was fantastic. They called him

13:54

sloppy, but he was anything but. And

13:56

he was the only guy I know that could make Peter Sellers

13:58

laugh. He was a

14:00

really funny guy, but in his personal life,

14:03

he was very serious. But Keith could have

14:05

him on the floor in fits of laughter.

14:08

So I wanted to make this film for ages that is

14:11

a roller coaster of a real

14:13

life of someone so talented in

14:15

so many ways. But he doesn't know how

14:17

to use it. And it's

14:20

painful, but it's joyous. It's

14:22

tragic. There's

14:26

so much in it. There's so much narrative

14:31

that is based in music and comes just

14:34

from his genius. And I want to put

14:36

it on the screen and make a film

14:38

again that runs for no longer than two

14:40

hours It's an interesting dynamic,

14:42

the one guy in a

14:44

group. It doesn't have to be a musical group.

14:46

I've been in situations like this. I wasn't the

14:48

sober guy. But

14:52

where there is one guy who doesn't want to

14:54

go along, it creates an

14:56

incredible amount of tension. People don't like

14:59

it for some reason. How

15:01

many times you have a drink? I'm having one. No,

15:03

I'm OK. Now come on, have one with me. What's

15:06

the difference? I

15:08

used to have a drink, but I don't know Angel. No,

15:10

I know. But I never used to

15:12

get out of my face and smash hotel

15:14

rooms up. For me, I

15:17

was born in an air raid in the Second World War

15:20

in 1944. My

15:22

mom came

15:24

into labor in a tube station. That's

15:26

where they used to go in the shelters. And

15:29

she thought things were bad, but then she had me.

15:35

So post-war

15:38

England, we were bombed out. Both

15:41

ends of our street were rubble. We

15:44

had it hard for 15, 20 years. And

15:48

so my first guitar, I had

15:50

to make it. We had no

15:52

money to buy it. We get

15:54

ex-war department amplifiers that

15:56

made this squeak of a noise

15:58

that we built. It was huge,

16:01

so it looked important. And

16:04

it worked. Psychology is everything. They must be

16:06

good. Look at the size of their equipment.

16:14

Well, there is something about it. But

16:19

it seems like you were the more conservative

16:21

one in the group, and that's okay. I

16:23

was going to ask you about the politics.

16:26

Well, which says I'm right-wing, I'm actually not. No,

16:28

I didn't say you were right-wing. I'm just saying...

16:30

Well, he says I am. Who

16:33

says? Pete, because he likes to be left-wing. Pete. I

16:35

have to be the right-wing one. It's

16:39

a guy from trendy to be left-wing. But I'm

16:42

always curious to talk to the people from

16:44

the UK, because our politics sort of does

16:46

track with each other. You had Brexit. That's

16:49

the media. Oh, you don't

16:51

think it's similar? Well,

16:53

it is, but equally, when I... We've

16:56

got problems in England, mate. No bones about it.

16:59

We have, certainly. But then when I'm looking at

17:01

your country, we haven't got any problems at all.

17:12

We have a president that, when he dances, he

17:14

looks like he's jerking off two guys at once.

17:18

You don't know that? I make

17:20

no problem. I

17:23

make no... That

17:25

is seriously awful. So,

17:29

OK, before I leave... The difference

17:31

is, of course, we haven't got

17:33

guns. So we look

17:35

at you and we go, whoa! Life

17:38

is good. A

17:40

lot of people get stabbed, though, in

17:42

England. Well, it's... They do. A

17:45

lot of people get stabbed anywhere in

17:47

the world, but the newspapers are using

17:49

it because it's... It

17:51

sells newspapers. People are only interested in

17:54

events of violence or... It's

17:57

not... I don't know. It's always been

17:59

going on. but now since the age

18:01

of the internet it's instantly

18:04

online or somewhere where they can pick it

18:06

up and print it. Okay I know you're

18:08

out on tour I'm not going to hold

18:10

you too long I know this tour means

18:12

a lot to you it's for teen cancer

18:15

which is your big cause. How

18:20

long do you play

18:22

for now? It

18:25

depends minimum of 90 minutes I usually

18:28

end up doing about two hours. What songs

18:30

do you still love love to sing what songs never

18:33

go on? I love them all. Oh

18:35

like your children? It depends which which there's

18:37

only one on board with that won't get

18:40

fooled again and it's because

18:42

it's stuck to a computer track

18:44

right and it drives me insane because

18:46

I can't move it. But you still

18:48

do it? I still do it the

18:50

fans want to hear it. You gotta do

18:52

it for the fans. But I love them

18:54

all the one I like singing probably most

18:58

is love rain on me. The

19:26

national correspondent's book is called The Rebels.

19:29

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, AOC and the

19:31

struggle for a new American politics. Josh

19:33

Green's out of here. And?

19:38

He you know who this is a former

19:41

senior counselor for a president Trump a New

19:43

York Times best-selling author and a Fox News

19:45

contributor Kellyanne Conway. My most great name. Okay.

19:52

So your boy had a big interview he's on the cover

19:54

of Time magazine I'm bet she puts it on his wall.

19:56

I know he loves when he's on the cover of magazine.

20:01

Since you're the Trump whisperer, I thought we would

20:03

ask you first of all, what?

20:05

Nobody knows him better than Kelly Ann.

20:09

He was asked the other day if he

20:11

would un-conditionally accept the results of

20:13

the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

20:15

I'll read his answer. If everything's honest, I'll

20:18

gladly accept the results. If it's not, you

20:20

have to fight for the right of the

20:22

country. That

20:24

sounds like elections only count when we

20:27

win, all over

20:29

again. And isn't this the problem

20:31

with him? From the

20:33

beginning, it hasn't changed.

20:36

He does not accept election results.

20:39

What world is there going to be this where

20:41

he says, if everything's honest, oh yeah, I lost.

20:44

We've never seen it. Please admit we'll

20:46

never see that. He will never admit an

20:48

election loss. Well, first of all, this

20:50

was said, thanks for having me back, Bill. We've been

20:52

doing this for decades together. Secondly,

20:58

Donald Trump was accused of not being able to

21:00

accept the election results in 2016.

21:02

Hillary Clinton made a big deal of it and

21:04

with the final debate. It's so shocking. It's so

21:07

un-American. And he did accept

21:09

those election results. She didn't. She still says

21:11

he won that one. Correct. And

21:15

you know what? He'll win in 2024. He'll win in

21:17

2024. He'll win in 2024. He'll

21:20

win in 2024. He'll win in 2024. But I

21:22

think his point is important in this way. For

21:26

some reason, early voting is no longer a 6.30 a.m.

21:29

on November 5th. It goes on for 45 days

21:31

in some states ahead of time. They

21:33

count the ballots afterwards. As somebody who has never

21:35

said election fraud, stolen election, all of that from

21:38

2020, I will say that

21:40

it's important that we have states that

21:42

count the early votes early and then

21:45

add together the votes that recast election day and

21:47

give us results that night. This shouldn't be difficult

21:49

in the world to see this democracy. I do.

21:53

But I think this is all a moot Point because the

21:56

polls suggest, and I think the momentum

21:58

that he's got right now. The jacket.

22:00

Everything she's going as it isn't I did

22:02

nothing for granted. He poly will be reelected.

22:05

Nine Underwear In Things Good How. Right

22:07

And if and a fine and were ahead in

22:09

the polls that the Cnn poll I lied. And

22:11

Forty Nine and not Forty Three And trumpet Forty

22:13

Three and not Forty Nine and his young people

22:15

Leaving that Joe Biden we'd say, well he has

22:17

in the bag. It is really. Good at all

22:19

that as not a new with the fact

22:21

that he will not conceive and election know

22:23

it doesn't Also is democrats were ahead they'd

22:25

they'd still be winning the that because it's

22:28

with democrats do But the the big take

22:30

away. The big take

22:32

away our that because I talked to democratic strategists

22:34

all the time. Just like I'm sure you do

22:36

know and they're all is no matter how big

22:38

the leaders are all was worried that somebody somehow

22:40

is gonna blow it or the youthful won't turn

22:43

it off or he trump vote will turn out.

22:45

they. Should. Be so I think as bad

22:47

Wedding and biden in the same sentence or.

22:58

From Irvine is sort of millions of other

23:00

Americans and I think that's why that's why

23:02

you drown in the polls. Look you know

23:04

it's like Bill said it's it's May in

23:06

his opponent is in the middle of a

23:08

criminal trial so it's not like by know

23:10

the any hope of of of mounting a

23:12

comeback. Okay let me ask you this say

23:14

wins you your confidant Biggest. Now. Have ties

23:17

anything. say I tired is. The. Man said

23:19

okay are located. Is a democrat on the

23:21

process and the mechanic say that a great

23:23

advantage on the early vote on ballot harvesting

23:25

on get. Telling people have a vote We are.

23:27

Way and of as the saying them you

23:29

brought this up Some going to mention this Trump

23:32

was always dead set against early voting. he

23:34

just did a complete one eighty the how

23:36

he got our we Loves It. and why

23:38

hope he does by the way i hundred

23:40

and enchant and mrs trump will go and

23:42

vote early in florida the first say they're

23:44

eligible little early because when the lion wars

23:46

the others will follow his voters will say

23:48

oh well now present shuffle the early i

23:50

tend to you're taking a chance grandpa picking

23:52

out of the bath and let alone our

23:54

the house on election day i want that

23:56

suffers though in october so i don't like

23:58

early voting but this is it normal you

24:00

adapt or you die politically. And we have

24:02

to. So

24:09

let's say he wins. It's at least

24:11

a 50-50. Will he relinquish power

24:13

in 2028? Yes. 12, 2029.

24:16

January 20, 2029, our birthday. Right.

24:20

It is an inauguration day. I'll still be 11 years

24:22

younger than you on that birthday, but it is our birthday.

24:26

OK. He's a civilian

24:28

here. OK.

24:31

But so you said

24:33

that so definitively. Of course he'll do this

24:35

with power. You know, White, because he will have done

24:37

such a great job in his second term that whoever

24:39

the Republican nominee will win. And

24:42

he'll see it as Trump's third term. That's the way he'll see it. Well,

24:44

he has said many times, sometimes in a

24:46

little comedy that he does mocking me, because

24:48

I was always saying he wouldn't lose power.

24:50

He went around the country for

24:53

many months and said maybe I deserve because

24:55

we were cheated out of this one. Maybe

24:57

I should get another one and maybe one

24:59

after that. So that's just a joke. Probably.

25:04

The Constitution prevents him

25:06

from making out of

25:09

education. I

25:11

know, but a lot of people think that

25:13

once he wins, that's the last election. I've

25:17

been talking to him and a

25:19

lot of undecided voters who don't

25:21

think very highly of Biden, either

25:23

because of the age issue or

25:25

inflation, that sort of thing, are worried

25:27

that if Trump gets into office, he'll never

25:29

leave. And there are people on the right

25:31

pushing the American conservative magazine. He hasn't conceded

25:34

the 2020 election yet. What do you mean?

25:36

How you make it sound like it's a

25:38

crazy idea. He has

25:40

not conceded the one you didn't leave. He has

25:42

not conceded the one you didn't leave. abandoned

26:00

Biden. So it's very clear Donald Trump

26:02

is not the president. Our economy sucks.

26:04

The border is open. 8.8 million

26:06

people came here. That's larger than the population

26:08

of 39 states. It's insane. We know who

26:10

the president is. We will get to all these

26:12

issues. But

26:16

right now, I'm just asking

26:18

you, don't act like we

26:21

ever had before a candidate

26:23

running for office who never

26:25

conceded the prior election. That

26:28

has never happened. Well, I'm sorry, but respectfully, why are

26:30

we talking about this? I think people are so nervous.

26:32

Why are we talking about whether elections matter in America? No,

26:35

I want to tell you, but my business, listen,

26:37

I've been a pollster for decades, a fully recovered

26:39

attorney and happy about it. My job

26:41

is the prism of the people. People are

26:43

not talking about that. Bill, they honestly are

26:46

talking about bacon and eggs, the insurance, the

26:48

utilities. They're trying to meet everyday expenses. They

26:50

feel insecure. Well, but they need to be slapped up

26:52

ahead because... Well, no, I'm sorry. They feel a lack

26:54

of security, a lack of affordability. People do

26:57

care about democracy also. They do. Maybe not

26:59

the circle view on it. You

27:01

know what I think of January 6th. I came on your show

27:03

five days after that. We know what, nine days after that.

27:05

We know what I think of January 6th. That will never

27:07

change. But if we're looking backward, elections

27:10

are always about the future, not the past. That's

27:12

the way America needs to look at them. And

27:14

right now they feel a cost of living and

27:16

everyday quality of life has diminished.

27:18

But as a pollster, you got to worry. I

27:20

mean, you've seen polls that say if Donald Trump

27:22

is convicted of a crime and he's currently on

27:24

trial, even though it doesn't get much attention in

27:27

the news, that support for Trump will end. Trump

27:29

doesn't get attention in the news. It's all been talked about.

27:31

No, the criminal trial? No, it's nothing but protesters this

27:33

week. Oh, okay. Well,

27:36

that criminal trial really, I mean,

27:38

we're treating it like... It's like

27:40

the D-Block. It's like the Guinef

27:42

Pultrow skiing trial. People just don't

27:44

care. You're being

27:47

testified. You did. Okay.

27:51

And from protesting... There are vulnerabilities

27:53

there. There are. There are. There's

27:55

vulnerabilities. We're a split country. We have

27:57

cultural cleavages. We are politically... Listen, art,

27:59

elections... elections are not decided by millions

28:01

of votes across the country. They're decided

28:04

by thousands of votes across the country.

28:06

Yes. I've read and everything. Three states. Three states and it's

28:08

four states. Do you think it's going to come down to

28:10

Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin? I think it probably does. If you

28:13

look at 2016, Trump swept those three

28:15

states and became president. Biden swept

28:17

them in 2020. I think

28:19

anybody, whichever candidate- Let me throw a wild

28:21

card at you there. Florida. Now it's absolutely

28:24

been a red state for a while, but

28:26

their abortion law went into effect this week.

28:29

Six weeks. That's pretty draconian.

28:31

I'm pretty sized for that. And what Trump hasn't

28:33

said he'd vote against? Well, Trump has said everything

28:35

about abortion. When he ran, the

28:37

first time Chris Matthews said, do you believe in

28:39

punishment for abortion? He took that back. He said,

28:42

yes, the answer is there is some form of

28:44

punishment for the woman. Yes. Now he says it's

28:46

all about the states. Whether he'd

28:48

find a federal ban on abortion, there never will

28:50

be a chance that he says because that won't

28:52

happen. It's all about the states. Is he comfortable

28:54

with states punishing women who have abortions? I don't

28:57

have to be comfortable. The states are going to

28:59

make that decision. I

29:01

get the argument abortion should not be

29:03

legal. If they think it's murder, I

29:05

get that. I don't get- it's okay

29:08

to murder babies in blue states, but

29:10

not in red states. Well, I agree

29:12

with that, which is why I support

29:14

a 15-week minimum standard only because, for

29:16

example, a girl named Iliana here in

29:18

Southern California was born at 12 ounces,

29:20

the size of a co-can, really,

29:23

and she survived and is thriving. That's what's

29:25

going on. I think we should have a

29:27

conversation about science when it comes to abortion.

29:29

We talked about politics. We talked about religion

29:31

and morality and gender. What about the science?

29:33

How in the world do you have a

29:35

law in the state, Bill, and many other

29:37

states, sadly, where abortion is way past the

29:39

point of viability? We should talk about- I

29:41

think we're having a conversation with the wrong party.

29:43

I want to show why it's in the Donald Harris

29:45

House. A lot of voters do want to have conversations

29:48

about the politics of it. The fact that Trump won't

29:50

come out and say, if Congress sends me a federal

29:52

abortion ban, I will veto it. The fact that he's

29:54

got that- there will be a Republican Congress. And the

29:56

fact that he won't answer that, I

29:59

think, is a pretty- Do you mean 15 weeks?

30:01

A national minimum? No, I mean a national abortion

30:03

ban. There will be no national abortion ban. If it

30:05

comes to Trump, I would bet money that he would

30:07

fund it. And the fact that he won't come out

30:09

and say so, it makes him sound more like an

30:12

ordinary politician. I've never heard Trump kind of stick to

30:14

talking points like that. Well, he's very much about the

30:16

game now. And just dodge instead of telling the unvoluntary

30:18

truth, which is what he's saying it's for. I think

30:20

there is a role for the federal government. And so

30:23

do Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They're saying restore votes. So

30:25

they are saying it's a federal issue. I

30:27

think 15 weeks minimum standard means that

30:29

if a baby is 15 weeks or

30:31

so gestation in the state, you can't

30:33

go much past that unless it's life

30:35

of the mother, unless there's another circumstance.

30:37

That's always in there. But Trump's been

30:40

very clear. There have been six Republican

30:42

presidents since 1973 Roe versus Wade, Nixon,

30:44

Ford, Reagan, Bush, Bush, Trump.

30:48

All six roughly had the same position on abortion

30:50

over 50 years. I'm pro-life with

30:52

exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother. And

30:54

now people are talking about gestational limits. But you

30:57

know, Bill, if it's 15 weeks, but he's the

30:59

one who got abortion over a mountain, if he

31:01

literally come out and said, I'm the one who

31:03

killed Roe versus Wade, which is every commercial,

31:05

even Kamala Harris, when she does form a sentence,

31:08

it's usually that one. So

31:15

this is why I

31:18

think the Biden folks in the Democrats I

31:20

talk to think that Biden needs to be

31:22

focused more on abortion specifically for that reason.

31:25

I was talking to a Biden advisor this week. Is

31:29

it not the Democrats' best issue? I mean,

31:31

this is the car the Republicans caught. People

31:34

don't like it. Fucking for free. One of

31:36

the last things we had in this country.

31:38

Well, you didn't have to worry about the

31:40

because it's an economic issue a lot. I

31:43

was talking to Biden advisor just this week who

31:45

said he brought up the old when Juliana was

31:47

running for president. Every time he opened his mouth,

31:49

a noun, a verb, and 9-11, he said, what

31:51

we ought to be doing is every time Biden

31:53

opens his mouth, a noun, a verb, and abortion.

31:55

You know, we just lost the election, right? Well,

31:58

I hope Biden does that. Look,

32:00

you're right, it is their best issue. I believe

32:03

abortion is a vote motivator and a turn-on intensifier

32:05

for the Democrats. There's no question. But they're going

32:07

to overplay it because they can't talk about the

32:09

border or the economy or the two new wars

32:11

that Biden helped to start or

32:14

can't do anything about. Wait, I have to take on

32:16

it. He

32:18

keeps dodging. I have to take a break here. But

32:20

then we got to get back to the wars Biden

32:22

started. OK. But

32:25

I already hit this in peace

32:27

in the news this week. A

32:30

lot of people are worried about AI. And

32:32

is it taking over our lives? Well, I think

32:34

it is because now we have an AI-generated beauty

32:37

contest. This is the world's first beauty contest

32:39

with just AIs. They are pretty cute. I

32:42

got to give them that. But

32:44

you know that part of every beauty contest where

32:46

the host talks to the contestants about, you know,

32:48

I used to say, come get out here in

32:50

a bikini and answer a question about Syria. OK.

32:54

So we

32:56

got to hold to some of the questions that

32:58

the AI beauty contest is going to, as they're

33:01

going to be answered. Would you like to hear some of

33:03

those? Well, I'm sure we'll have.

33:07

For example, what

33:09

is your plan for world peace? And is it to

33:12

slaughter all the humanoids? What

33:19

are your feelings on humans stealing jobs from

33:21

self-checkouts? Well,

33:28

will you also join OnlyFans when your

33:30

modeling career goes nowhere? Have

33:37

you ever gone to Walmart on a

33:39

Saturday and thought, how has this species

33:41

survived? Are

33:48

there even a power cord? Turn on. Can

33:57

you explain why you're interesting more human than Kamala

33:59

Harris? I got a

34:03

double of room. If

34:07

you could be any other collection of ones and zeros,

34:09

what would it be? What

34:17

do you do when that box-mature computer comes up

34:19

that says, I am not a robot? Is

34:27

Sidney Sweeney one of you or one of us? What

34:36

was it like when Donald Trump walked into your dressing

34:38

room? So

34:49

you're saying Joe Biden started the war in

34:51

Ukraine and Joe Biden started the war in

34:53

Gaza? You said that. You said the two

34:55

wars Biden started. I should

34:57

have said, has done nothing to mitigate,

34:59

let alone eliminate. And I would just

35:01

like to say, for everyone who says...

35:03

What could any president do to stop the

35:05

Israel... Donald Trump for one was the first one

35:07

in 72 years, Donald Trump never started a new

35:10

war. That's a fact. Jimmy Carter

35:13

never fired a shot. Jimmy

35:17

Carter... Well, God bless him. He's 99 and

35:19

a peaceful person and we should all wish

35:21

him well. I think if

35:23

we're going back to... Donald

35:26

Trump did not start a new war. You said he

35:28

was the first one ever. I corrected you. No, in 72

35:30

years. Well, that would conclude

35:32

Jimmy Carter. Okay, Jimmy Carter. Okay,

35:35

I'm going for 52 years. By the way,

35:37

Joe Biden is... I think

35:39

that's incorrect, but I'll do the Q. He never fired

35:41

a shot. Here's a fact check for you. Joe

35:43

Biden doesn't know what he's doing. A majority of people in

35:45

every single poll don't believe he's got the acuity agility or

35:48

ability to do the job. NBC News

35:50

asked the best polling questions of all

35:52

because they said, who's more competent? Donald

35:55

Trump by double digits. Who has a

35:57

plan for the country? Who would handle a

35:59

crisis? Who has the energy for the job? Everybody's

36:01

polls bill say the same exact thing. And I

36:04

like those polling questions because that's what people ask

36:06

themselves as they go into the polling place. Who's

36:08

going to help me and my family? And

36:11

Joe Biden is a gift to Donald Trump in

36:13

2024. If I were Democrat,

36:15

I would have gotten rid of Biden and Harris a year

36:17

and a half ago, replace him, probably lose to Donald Trump,

36:19

but then make him the face of the opposition. This is

36:22

not hard. That's true. Yes,

36:24

sir. Well, I'd say the Biden people

36:26

would probably reciprocate the truth as the gift of

36:28

Biden, because he's probably the only Republican that Biden

36:30

could plausibly be. Right. I mean,

36:32

the one thing Biden

36:36

does have is the idea of war. He

36:40

is with the popular position when it comes to

36:42

Gaza and Israel. He's been an outspoken support of

36:44

Israel. What is his position? We've heard so

36:46

many. What is it? It's backing Israel. It's

36:48

coming out criticizing the chaos on campuses, allowing

36:50

people's rights to protest. Bit of a mixed

36:53

message. But he has been... He's fired. He's

36:55

fired this week. What's his position? You

36:57

can't be breaking windows and starting all kinds

36:59

of... They raped women and put babies in ovens.

37:02

I'm talking about the campus. I'm talking about the campus.

37:04

We're talking about different things. And I'm also not here.

37:06

I'm also not here. I'm

37:08

getting for Biden. But on the issue

37:10

of war in Israel, he is in a solid position,

37:12

at least when it comes to public opinion. Well,

37:15

I work for the most pro-Israel president in American

37:17

history. But look, I think that... That's

37:19

true. ...he's very critical of Netanyahu. That's true.

37:22

So, like, Biden is not pro-Israel either. Well,

37:24

that's what I'm saying. Which position is he

37:26

today? But look, on the protesters, the White

37:28

House didn't seem to mind it or matter

37:31

much or say anything until the optics went

37:33

against him. They're worried about the political fallout

37:35

for Biden, instead of the fact that these

37:37

spoiled brats, pretentives about free speeches, about free

37:39

stuff, bring me lotion and vegan food. They

37:42

never once said, release the hostages. They

37:45

never are making demands that would actually help other people.

37:47

Yeah, I'm with you on that. But that's not what we're talking about. Look, I

37:49

am... This stuff is... I'm

37:54

so incensed about some of this stuff, because, you

37:57

know, when I read about the college loans... I

38:00

mean, I can't, where's the stat on this?

38:02

Oh, Biden administration's

38:04

student debt cancellation will

38:07

cost a combined $870 billion to $1.4 trillion. That's

38:11

a lot of debt forgiveness. Okay, so

38:14

colleges constantly raise tuition. Then the

38:16

kids take out more loans. Then the

38:19

government comes by and pays those

38:21

loans. Okay, so my

38:23

tax dollars are supporting this Jew hating?

38:26

I don't think so. No, you've scored all the 10th. No,

38:28

I agree with you completely. Now people are really upset. By

38:30

the way, it was never fair. You can't have plumbers and

38:32

pipe fitters paying for the student loans of doctors and lawyers.

38:34

It's not fair. And I'm all for

38:36

the government trying to help people who need it,

38:38

but he did that as a political play and

38:40

everybody knows that he's bleeding young people

38:42

for it. It hasn't worked. If you look

38:44

at issues that young people care about, Gaza

38:46

is like 15th out of 16th. And the

38:48

only thing that comes in lower than Gaza

38:50

is student loan forgiveness. So it hasn't worked

38:52

as a motivator for the youth boat, half

38:55

of which are out there chanting genocide Joe. So

38:57

it's backfired not just in terms of public policy,

39:00

but in terms of the politics too. Yeah,

39:02

I mean, Trump is winning the youth

39:04

vote. By I think 11

39:06

points. According to CNN poll, yeah. That's pretty

39:08

astounding to me. It's a

39:10

48-point point. What do you make of that?

39:13

You're closer to the youth vote. What I

39:15

make of that, a lot of it is,

39:17

if you turn on your TV today, you

39:19

see young people protesting, angry, fighting with cops.

39:21

What you don't see is Donald Trump in

39:24

a criminal trial. What you don't see is

39:27

one of his blue chip vice presidential candidates,

39:30

murdered a dog a week ago and is

39:32

two weeks into talking about that story. All

39:34

of these stories that could potentially be damaging

39:37

for Republicans and help Joe Biden have fallen

39:39

by the wayside because all of the attention

39:41

is on these protesters and on these fights,

39:43

on their behavior, and on the fact that

39:45

a lot of people don't like what they

39:48

see on the television. Biden was elected to

39:50

push aside the chaos in the havoc of

39:52

the Trump years. I think everybody can agree

39:54

on that. It hasn't happened.

39:56

You turn on your TV and see what's going on in these campuses.

39:58

It hasn't happened. That's one big reason

40:00

why he's losing the vote. One big reason why he's losing the vote.

40:02

Yes, chaos and crisis in the Trump

40:05

administration and a tweet and a comment

40:07

here and there. Now it's chaos and

40:09

crisis everywhere we look at the border,

40:11

on our college campuses. By the way,

40:14

in our halls of Congress, 31 Democrats

40:16

voted against the resolution last October 18

40:18

to condemn Hezbollah and Hamas. And the

40:20

resolution clearly said, Bill, that they were

40:23

concerned about institutions of higher education allowing

40:25

sympathies for Hezbollah and Hamas, which our

40:27

own government, Biden's government, Trump's

40:29

government, had declared terrorist groups. And they specifically said

40:32

in there it was going to hurt, make

40:34

uncomfortable, if not worse, Jewish students with

40:36

all this anti-Semitism. That was October 18,

40:39

31 Democrats, including the most well-known young ones, a

40:41

squad that doesn't do squat, for example, all voted

40:43

against that resolution. Oh, I couldn't agree more. This

40:46

is a problem with Biden. Respectfully, I

40:48

don't think people care about other things

40:50

than young people. When are young

40:52

people, whether single or married, ever going to be

40:54

able to afford their first home, get on with

40:56

the accoutrements of adult life? Actually,

40:59

it was in the news this week

41:02

that people under 40 are 49

41:04

percent richer than they were before the pandemic.

41:06

They're actually doing better than other generations. Well,

41:08

that's okay. But

41:11

the problem is, Trump or Biden, though? The

41:13

right way. The right way. The

41:15

right way. Wait, wait, wait. I just presented

41:17

a fact. Can we respond to that? Because it

41:19

was in contrast to the vote that it was

41:21

feeling. Let me respond to that. I

41:23

was going to say, let me get to that

41:25

one. I'll look at a

41:27

business magazine. I'll look at a business

41:29

magazine to get these numbers all day long.

41:32

McDonald's on their earning call last quarter said,

41:34

we're losing customers who make less than

41:37

$45,000 a year because they can't afford

41:39

McDonald's anymore. McDonald's is at the bottom of

41:41

the food chain. If you can't afford a happy meal, you're going

41:43

to be angry. One of the

41:45

reason younger people, low-income people are angry

41:47

is because the inflation really does hit.

41:49

According to the overall wages have risen

41:51

somewhat since Biden has been

41:53

president. There's not enough to make up for

41:55

the cost of housing, the cost of food,

41:57

the cost of groceries, the cost of gas.

42:00

And that's a fact that a lot of

42:02

Democrats are ignoring or trying to talk around.

42:04

OK, but the inflation was mostly caused by

42:06

all that money we gave out during the

42:08

pandemic, which was bipartisan. Superarily, not necessarily. No,

42:11

no. Supply chain issues

42:13

in COVID, there's a war between Russia and Ukraine.

42:15

It was a perfect storm of all sorts of

42:17

things that caused the crisis. Which is passing out

42:19

$5 trillion in free money. That

42:21

wasn't the big part of it? Well, it's a

42:23

part of it. I'm not sure it was the biggest part. I

42:25

think that's the biggest part of it. I think when you check

42:27

right, that kind of checks for money

42:29

you don't have in the bank. I think that's going to

42:31

cause inflation. And it did. And Trump

42:34

did it. And Biden did it. Everybody did it. It

42:36

was just where the country was. It's where our minds are now. People

42:38

are hurting. You just give them money.

42:40

I think a lot of this election, though, is about parties

42:44

taking for granted their core constituencies. So

42:46

I think the Democrats always believe that

42:48

they've got young people, or they have

42:50

union households, or they have women, or

42:52

they have African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans. You don't have

42:54

to do anything special to mollify them

42:56

past policies that they need.

42:59

And this election is really going to test

43:01

that in many different ways. Because when you

43:03

say that in the CNN poll,

43:05

Donald Trump is beating Joe Biden by 11 points, even

43:08

though I think Biden won them by 28 or 26 points last time. It's

43:11

a huge swing. It's because people

43:13

don't feel they're beholden to either the political

43:15

parties or their candidates. They're going to vote

43:17

their best interests. And I will say about

43:19

Donald Trump now with these court cases, what

43:21

I said after Access Hollywood, we convection, converse,

43:23

and complain about what offends us, but

43:26

we vote according to what affects us. Take

43:28

it to the bank. There's a huge difference between

43:30

what we say is on our minds and what

43:32

bothers us day by day and how

43:34

we vote for many people. Because we need to vote

43:36

according to our interests. Why wouldn't you vote according

43:38

to the bank? The people are voting

43:41

by amnesia. When Trump left office, his

43:43

approval rating was the lowest of any

43:45

president ever. Now it's somehow magically up

43:47

to 55 percent. This happens with

43:49

every president. You look at when they leave office, people,

43:51

oh, I remember that exactly. It was a few days

43:53

ago. Four years later, they have

43:55

no idea. I think it's a binary choice between you

43:58

two. But it's also May. A lot

44:00

of people, Trump is still on the back burner. When

44:02

I go out to campaign events, I still bump into

44:04

people who don't believe that Trump and Biden are going

44:06

to be the nominees in November. So Americans have it

44:08

all focused in on the fact that this is going

44:10

to be the choice, like or not. Most

44:12

of them don't like that choice. But come September, come

44:14

October, when people lock in on the fact that it's

44:17

going to be Donald Trump again, he's going to bring

44:19

that chaos and havoc with him, which a lot of

44:21

voters think he will, that's the

44:23

best that Biden has. And we will probably see them

44:25

in a debate now because Biden was

44:27

on Howard Stern this week and he was asked if

44:29

we would debate and he said he would. Well,

44:37

I mean, that is why there's a

44:39

lot like, oh good, Biden

44:41

will be debating. Yeah, that's going

44:43

to be good for Biden. No,

44:46

I don't. You know, I mean, this is what I

44:48

always do. Biden did that. He started the meter too

44:50

early. Honestly, he shouldn't have committed to that so

44:52

early in my view. Right. But I'm glad

44:55

he did. I believe in democracy. So we should

44:57

have debates. We should be able to access the

44:59

two candidates side by side, suss it

45:01

out and look at them shoulder to shoulder. But

45:04

there is absolutely no hard evidence whatsoever

45:06

anywhere. Maybe you can produce it. That

45:09

Joe Biden can stand at a podium for

45:11

90 minutes, let alone without a teleprompter. If

45:13

he thinks he can do that and they're

45:15

so confident that he can debate Donald Trump

45:17

and he can beat Donald Trump, I hope

45:19

they will have three debates, at least though

45:21

we need that. The democracy deserves that.

45:23

People don't have money to go and pay to meet a

45:26

candidate or ask them questions. But the bigger question

45:28

for me is- As if anyone learns anything from a

45:30

debate. But we'll do. I do. I

45:32

do. I learned Biden lied about

45:34

discussing business with his son. The laptop is

45:37

not- If only we could

45:39

catch Trump in a lie sometime. But

45:41

that's not the answer to the debate.

45:46

The question for me, is

45:49

Trump actually going to agree to a

45:51

debate with Joe Biden

45:53

with a mainstream moderate? Not Sean

45:55

Hannity, a real journalist who's going

45:57

to ask tough questions. No,

46:00

no, no, no. It's not going to be about

46:02

the moderators. No, no, no. He didn't have a Time

46:04

magazine. He did talk to Time magazine. That was the

46:06

start. But most

46:08

of the time, he likes to go on friendly TV

46:10

shows and doesn't like to interrogate. The fake moderators are

46:12

Anderson Cooper and Martha Raditz. Chris,

46:14

the one who left Fox News to go to CNN.

46:17

Yeah, it's not about the moderators. I mean, look,

46:20

we are all afraid of this, let's be honest.

46:22

All of us who think a Trump presidency would

46:25

be a disaster and want Biden to win think

46:28

that him going on to that arena in its

46:30

90 minutes. It's fraud. It's

46:33

fraud. Anyway, we'll

46:35

be hopeful. Time for new

46:37

rules, everybody. Thank you very much. Now

46:47

that San Francisco's $1.7 million public

46:49

toilet is finally open and it

46:51

ended up only costing $700,000. Everyone

46:57

has to admit California's back,

46:59

baby. Take

47:06

that, Illinois. What could $700,000 buy your homeless there? Oh,

47:11

well. Yeah, okay. But

47:15

then they wouldn't be homeless, would they? New

47:19

rule, let's admit that the new hybrid

47:22

coffee mug bung is

47:26

the dumbest product ever made. It's

47:29

like combining a vibrator with a reading light. Why

47:39

would I mix something I

47:41

enjoy doing first thing in the morning with

47:44

coffee? New

47:47

rule, the South African tourists who sat

47:49

quietly in this car while lying fucked

47:51

on the roof deserve an award. Best

47:55

roommates ever. Interesting

48:06

difference between humans

48:08

and lions. With

48:11

lions it's the

48:13

male partner who

48:15

says, ow, you're

48:18

on my hair.

48:20

There are all now that the

48:22

Chechnya ministry of culture has banned all music

48:24

that's either too fast or too slow. Chechnya

48:29

has to change its name to the People's

48:31

Republic of Husbands who won't get up to

48:33

dance. And

48:41

yes, there's actually a country now where they

48:43

regulate the speed of music. Maybe someone at

48:46

Columbia can get mad about that. Now,

48:56

someone needs to explain to young guys

48:58

raised on Pornhub that most women don't

49:00

like being called a dirty whore. And

49:04

the one who do will tell you. Here's

49:09

an idea. Try being nice during sex.

49:12

Say things like, wow, this is fun. You

49:18

sure are good at sex. Better

49:21

yet, do what the airlines do and say, I

49:23

know you have a choice when fucking, so thank

49:25

you for fucking me. And

49:34

finally, new rule at the top levels of

49:36

our federal government, giving a guy a job

49:38

because he got screwed over for another job,

49:41

isn't a good reason to give a guy a job, especially

49:44

if the job is attorney general and

49:46

especially if it's during a time when we

49:48

need a tough AG to catch a real

49:51

criminal. Merrick Garland.

50:01

Merrick Garland, who is that attorney

50:04

general I speak of, and who,

50:06

spoiler alert, sucks, was

50:10

you may recall President Obama's pick for the

50:12

Supreme Court in 2016 after the Clintons murdered

50:15

Justice Scalia with a pillow. And

50:25

while our government dysfunction continues to

50:27

grow, one thing remained sacrosanct. When

50:29

a Supreme Court Justice dies, the

50:31

president gets to fill the seat.

50:34

Until Mitch McConnell said, fuck that new

50:37

rule, fuck you. Garland

50:39

never even got a hearing. So when

50:42

Biden got elected, the Democrats said, wouldn't

50:44

it be funny as payback if

50:47

we gave Garland the attorney general job? And

50:50

that's how we got Attorney General Barney Fife.

51:00

A man who epitomizes the strange stupor that

51:02

comes over Democrats whenever they have to

51:05

choose a top law man. They

51:07

worry so much about appearing nonpartisan.

51:10

They get behind someone who lets actual

51:12

crimes go unpunished. Five years

51:14

ago in this space, I was

51:16

tearing Robert Mueller a new one. Remember

51:18

him, the straight-arrow Republican, all the

51:20

Democrats thought would hold Trump accountable

51:22

for colluding with Russia? But

51:25

with Mueller, as with Garland now, when we needed

51:27

a pit bull, we got a purse dog. It's

51:38

so interesting. When it comes time for

51:40

Republicans to appoint a special prosecutor, they

51:42

always appoint a Republican. When it comes

51:45

time for Democrats to appoint one, they

51:47

also appoint a Republican. A

51:50

Democrat hasn't served as a special

51:52

prosecutor in a major investigation since

51:54

Watergate. Somehow the rule

51:56

became it has to be a Republican or it's

51:59

not fair. You know, a

52:01

Dudley Do-Right type, like what? Mueller

52:03

or James Comey, remember him? A

52:07

Boy Scout, they said. Yeah, he was a Boy Scout, all

52:09

right. He gave me a knot in the stomach. Because

52:20

he threw the presidency to Trump by

52:22

making a big announcement 11 days before

52:25

the election that he was reopening the

52:27

case into Hillary's emails and then found

52:29

nothing. But the FBI was

52:32

also investigating the Trump campaign's constant

52:34

contacts with Russian nationals at the

52:36

same time, over 140 of them.

52:39

But that he kept secret. Weird, huh?

52:43

Trump whines he's the victim

52:45

of selective prosecution. The truth

52:48

is, he's the beneficiary of

52:50

selective non-prosecution. Take the

52:52

case that's going on in New York right

52:54

now. We call it a hush money trial,

52:56

but really it's an election interference case. And

52:59

Trump is clearly complicit in breaking

53:01

the same laws that Michael

53:03

Cohen pled guilty to and served

53:05

prison time for. So

53:08

tell me, how can the fixer

53:10

who delivers the hush money be guilty

53:13

of election interference, but the

53:15

candidate who orders it, pays

53:17

it, conceals it, and benefits

53:19

from it not be? Charles

53:22

Manton didn't personally go on the killing spree, but

53:24

he went to prison for it. Now,

53:26

Chappo didn't have the drugs in his ass.

53:29

Oh. Michael

53:39

Corleone had somebody else shoot Mogren. I'm

53:41

just saying, the problem. The

53:45

problem. Heh heh. The

53:54

problem with this case isn't that Trump

53:56

isn't guilty, it's that it's being tried

53:58

in the wrong court. If Garland- had

54:00

done his job, Trump would be in

54:02

federal court charged with breaking campaign finance

54:05

laws instead of state court charged

54:07

with falsifying business records. And

54:10

then there's the case of the stolen files

54:12

in Trump's bathroom, Cropper's Delight.

54:23

Four months after Trump left

54:25

office, the National Archives began asking him

54:28

to return the documents he illegally took

54:30

with him. And after being ignored for

54:32

nine months, they passed the case off

54:35

to Garland, who should have sent the

54:37

FBI to Mar-a-Lago the next day, but

54:39

didn't for another six months. Joe

54:42

Biden also had documents at his private

54:44

residence. But again, by

54:46

bending over backwards to be fair

54:48

to the Republican, the Democrat got

54:51

fucked. Garland shows a, again with

54:53

this, Trump appointed Republican as special

54:55

counsel for Joe Biden, as he

54:57

did later for Hunter Biden. And

54:59

the upshot in the files cases

55:01

was to make it look like

55:03

Biden and Trump were equally guilty,

55:05

which was not true. Biden returned

55:07

the documents immediately and cooperated fully.

55:10

So why the need to

55:12

appoint a special counsel at all? Oh

55:15

yes, optics. But of

55:17

course the optics wound up being that

55:19

while Biden was totally exonerated, the Republican

55:21

counsel took the opportunity to say that

55:24

the reason Biden wasn't guilty was

55:26

that he was too much of a senile, feeble,

55:28

confused shell of a former man who poops his

55:31

pants and can't remember his kids' names. With

55:35

Biden, Garland appointed a special prosecutor

55:38

instantly. With Trump it took 20

55:40

months. 20 months. I

55:43

know liberals love drag, but maybe

55:45

don't do it with the justice system. And

55:56

now with the most serious of the Trump

55:59

trials, the one... involving his illegal

56:01

schemes to remain in office, it's

56:03

happening again. 59% of

56:05

Americans, including 26% of Republicans, say

56:09

they want a verdict on this case before

56:12

the election. But it's doubtful they'll

56:14

get one. Because for nearly two years,

56:17

our slow jam attorney genial looked

56:22

at the statue of Lady Justice and thought,

56:24

I want to be like her, incapable of

56:26

moving. Mark

56:35

Garland is just so slow.

56:39

He's like if the 405 was a person. He's

56:50

the embodiment of the liberal judge in

56:52

every 70s cop movie, the one who

56:54

always lets the psychopath out on a

56:56

technicality. And then the psychopath rapes a

56:58

nursing school and Clint Neeswood has to

57:00

kill him with a bazooka. But

57:06

at least the optics were good. All right,

57:08

that's our show. I'll be at the Palace

57:10

Theater with Albany, New York, May 19th, with

57:12

Spotlight, 49 Casino, and Coachella to

57:15

the first, and the David Copperfield Theater

57:17

at the MGM Grand, as they assume 21st and

57:19

22nd. I want to
