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

22nd. I want to
