Trump, Others React to National Poll With Trump Leading Biden
"So much rather be in this position of having an incredible record for our president to run on what's his record folks what what I mean what what is the record I want to MSNBC know they came out with their poll and I got it's not that bad actually tied 4646 this other poll is wrong right that's that's what they've said they're now coming out and they are just like this is just flat out wrong ABC News recline he described this new poll number as quote alarming and staggering for the sitting president United States of America listen these numbers paint a bleak picture for presidents Biden's reelection chances Rick yeah and Martha maybe the most startling number in our poll is this the hypothetical matchup a rematch of Donald Trump versus Joe Biden our poll with the Washington Post pegging this at 51 % so for Donald Trump over Joe Biden that is a nine -point edge now that's only points a difference couple of from our last poll in May but it is significantly different than most recent polls it is an outlier compared to other polls we've seen recently our partners at 538 put together an analysis for us they find average an of recent polls having this more of the one or two point range with Joe Biden typically having the edge but whether you believe that or not look there's a good chance that there's people just trying to send a message in the polling right now given the other frustration we've seen we know in this poll there's some some quirk some oddities around the number of black voters and Hispanic voters the younger voters who seem to be supporting Donald Trump and get this because it's pretty hard to believe but we people ask whether Donald Trump should be constitutionally disqualified for running for office and among people who said yes yes one in five about 18 % say they'd vote for Trump anyway so that might just be sending a a message that's more anti -biden than it is pro -Trump but regardless the weaknesses that we are seeing for Joe Biden

Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
Fresh update on "donald trump" discussed on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
"The last two So months. it just seems that we're just having this total conflicts of issues hitting Evergrande all at once while we were seemingly talking about other builders in recent weeks such as Country Garden. Well is that something that we need to worry about perhaps the sentiment while Evergrande doesn't seem to be making much progress on its restructuring deal. Do we worry need to about greater contagion and other downturn in this sector? Sure we do absolutely need to see well what might this mean for other developers that restructuring plans because obviously there have been dozens of them who have defaulted over last the two years Evergrande's obviously was going to be one of the biggest one of the most complex and so it could be an outlier that because of the trouble it's having it might not mean everything to the rest of the sector for example Sunac About a top 15 or so developer in China its debt plan has come contrastly of kind gone through relatively smoothly it's actually going to have a Hong Kong hearing next week to Analyze the creditor approval of the plan last week so that we have an example here where Sunac has been able to kind of pretty easily get through its debt restructuring process while Evergrande here it seems to be in a total state of flux. And we heard reports on Monday that the former CEO and CFO of Evergrande are being detained. How does this add to this complication? It adds a possible criminal element. These two executives, they left the company in the middle of 2022. They were part of the regime where a roughly $2 billion worth of security deposits were used to help guarantee other loans. It helped or really hurt, excuse me, the China property management unit. So that really kind of cast a shadow over them. And they've been out of work now obviously for more than a year. And then we had these staff at Evergrande's wealth unit be detained in recent weeks. So it seems as though we potentially have multiple criminal tracks investigative going on here at the same time that we have this public battle over the debt going on. Yeah, certainly a fascinating one to watch as we are seeing this having an effect on markets again today. Seng The Hang down 1 .7 % on that index of Chinese property shares compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence also on the down again after the slump that we saw yesterday. For now, Kevin Kingsbury, our China Credit Editor. Thank you very much. It's up to date. Well, let's turn next to a story coming out of the United States, believe it or not, 63 years ago today was the first televised U .S. presidential debate. The famous head head to between Kennedy and Nixon. Today, both Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be hoping that time in front of the cameras will boost their hopes of winning the next presidential election. President Joe Biden will join the United Auto Workers Union on the picket line today in Michigan, while former President Donald Trump will also be teeing up to to make his case to auto workers in the state to Bloomberg's Oliver Crook has been following this story for us. And he joins us now. Let's start then with this angle in the United States. How much or how significant is it that President Biden is going to be joining that picket line to the UAW? Yeah, when you go into looking looking at historic landmarks? This is a fairly unprecedented event in US history. You know, it's been over 100 years since president the has been involved in anything like this and kind of going straight to the picket line. He was called over by the president of the union saying, hey, you want to show your support show up and he is showing up and he's showing up today and in Wayne County, Michigan. And it's at a time in the United States where actually the opinion on unions has changed fairly radically into the highest support of unions in about 25 years. The risk of course to both Biden and to the union is that if this drags on for a very long time and the economy starts to suffer, prices of cars go up and it sort of creates more of a mess and pain for voters, the opinion on that may change a little bit. The UAW backed Biden 2020, back in but Sean Fain has withheld his endorsement so far saying that you really need to earn this endorsement, though he is joining Biden on the picket line, so we'll take that as a message. He's also been very critical of people like Donald Trump and the economy that structured enriches people like Donald Trump. He said this himself at the expense of workers, and as you say, Biden administration. Thanks for watching. Thanks with for EV watching. saying that, you know, it's a hoax and it's going to destroy the American car industry. And of course Michigan, but also Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, these are Absolutely key states for this election. And Ali, you bring up electric vehicles, they seem to be coming more of a political issue elsewhere too. We had the EU trade chief in China defending the EU's investigation that could lead to tariffs on EVs. How at risk are German automakers and how worried are they Yeah, if this is an issue that's fragmenting the US population, it's fragmenting the EU itself. mean, You know, I there's a lot of debate within the EU and France has really pushed hard on getting these these rules through in this investigation through. And you can understand why. France only did about 90 billion euros worth of trade with China last year. Germany did 300 billion. And when you look at the car companies, it's even starker. Renault does about 6 % of its business in China or or in Asia Pacific, and about 77 % in Europe. For Germany, all the main carmakers, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, they're selling more than a third of their volume over in China. So they have some capacity to manufacture the stuff there, but for the really high -end stuff, the fat margin cars, the Maybachs, the Porsches, the S -Classes, the 7 series, those are made in Germany and are sent over. So if you get a retaliatory tariff, that's going to hit all those companies. Of course, tariffs are not just a concern when it comes to China, it's also an issue that's going to be discussed this week between the UK and the EU as well. Completely. And actually, if nothing happens, you're going to get a 10 % tariff at the end of the year for EVs that are crossing the channel in either direction. And that is because there are rules of origin that are going to kick in, that are going to come into effect at the end of the year. This has to do with Brexit, if where more than 45 % of your car has not been sourced from within the UK and the EU, you automatically get this tariff in place. This is to encourage battery production and getting the supply lines together. However, makes no one their own batteries at this point because they have not developed to this point. And so the EU is pushing this to try to get those supply chains in order. However, the UK and the auto industry are saying, listen, this is already a very painful transition for us The all. last thing we need is some self -inflicted hurdle to make it even harder. And so the EU and the UK officials are meeting today. And again, they're pushing the UK and the auto companies to delay this by three years. If nothing happens,

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from The First Edition of Would You Let Joe Biden"
"Good morning America. Good Monday. Some of you are getting up and getting out the door. I'm glad I am with you. I'm Hugh Hewitt in Studio North going down to the Beltway this week. Oh, back to the Beltway. Gotta go do my work. Gotta go do my job. I want you to begin this segment with me by reflecting on how bad can the polls actually get for one person. Because John Ellis, now you've heard me mention John. John has been on the show before. Ellis on items the site formerly known as Twitter, now known as X, he produces two sub stacks. News items, which I read every morning before I go on the air. That's where I learned about Amazon investing in AI this morning. And political items, which is a second sub stack. And that just collects all the political data. And for years and years and years, John Ellis was the man behind the curtain at News Corp. And he ran the decision desk when it actually ran well. And he ran many, many other things at News Corp. And he's a very, very smart guy. So Ellis puts out these two news sub stacks that I read. And one of them, political items, carries with it the additional benefit of sparing me from having to figure out which polls to read. Because every couple of weeks or three weeks, he puts out the polls in one place. So John Ellis knows polling. He knows which ones are trash. He does not send you the trash one. So I ignore all polls until I see a poll show up in the news items or political items. So polls in one place rolled in on Saturday morning. And I don't want to get sued for copyright. You should subscribe to polls in one place and political items. But John summarized three of these. Number one, NBC News. Three quarters of voters say they're concerned about President Joe Biden's age and mental fitness. Three quarters. Three quarters. Number two, Washington Post ABC News. A Washington Post ABC News poll finds President Biden struggling to gain approval from a skeptical public. With dissatisfaction growing over his handling of the economy and immigration, a rising share saying the United States is doing too much to aid Ukraine in its war with Russia, and broad concerns about his age as he seeks a second term. More than three in five Democrats say they would prefer a nominee other than Biden. And the Post ABC poll shows Joe Biden trailing Donald Trump by 10 points. Then number three, the New York Times. President Biden is underperforming among nonwhite voters in the New York Times Santa College national polls over the last year. And this result marked a — represent a, quote, marked deterioration in Mr. Biden's support among non -Anglo voters. Those are the three big polls of the weekend, and they're all related to Joe Biden's age. So I've asked Generalissimo to assist me in diagnosing the problem here. And so just a yes or no, are you with me, Generalissimo? No. All right, good. Would you let Joe Biden prepare dinner for eight people?

Would you let him be the president of a private liberal arts college? No. Would you let him run a large public high school? No. How about a small private high school? How about a junior high school?

No, but I mean, really, seriously, is there anything you'd let him do to put him in charge of, because this is my first edition of would you let Joe Biden dot, dot, dot? Nothing complicated because he gets confused easy. Nothing with kids because we kind of know about that. No, there's nothing the guy can do. He has shown no knowledge of market economics, free market economics. He has no idea how supply and demand works. No, but I'm just talking about give me something that he can do because we've got to get a retirement hobby for him. A retirement hobby? Checkers. Do you think he could win at checkers ever? It's yeah, he could he could run he could run an ice cream stand. I we I covered that. You were gonna let him run a 7 -Eleven. I don't know. I covered the gift wrap. 7 -Eleven is more complicated than an ice cream stand because gas is involved. But but I asked you about the the gift wrap fundraising. I want every mom in America ice cream. Well, no, every parent driving to school in America right now knows fall is the season for fundraisers. So we got the call from the granddaughter over the weekend.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from All The Polls Spell Great News For Donald Trump
"What a wild weekend. You can't make this stuff up. The Washington Post produces a poll that shows that Trump crushes Biden head to head. And then the Washington Post itself says, now, don't believe the poll. It's probably an outlier. They trash their own poll. They're so worried about the momentum that this is giving to Donald Trump that they're trying to discredit their own work. You know, these aren't cheap. They spent considerable money on this poll, thousands of dollars, and their takeaway after the poll points towards Trump defeating Biden by 10 points nationally. The Washington Post says, oh, it's weighted in a polling. You should hear the never Trumpers. You ought to hear people trying to distance themselves. I mean, they're running around in Washington, D .C. with their hair on fire. Funny thing about polls. We should learn by now not to believe them or trust them. Polling showed that there was going to be a huge red wave in 2022. So we know by now that doesn't always work out. However, in this case, what it does do is provide a semblance of momentum for one Donald J. Trump. And in this case, the perception can become the reality. The momentum keeps going. He keeps building. He keeps growing in popularity. The numbers keep soaring. And again, it's more of a perception thing than it is reality. Here's a reality. can The Democrats scream about a rigged election all they want, and nobody bats an eye. If anybody on our side questions the outcome of an election, we're crazy election deniers who ought to be in jail. But when Hillary does it, it's A -OK. Check this out. Here's Hillary sitting down with circleback Psaki, who's got her own show now over on MSNBC. Listen to Hillary still squealing about election interference and Russian collusion. Vladimir Putin has obviously your friend, your friend and mine. He has intervened in our election in the past. It's not something, as you experienced firsthand, it's not something we talk about a lot. Do you fear that that is something that could be happening for 2024? And do you think we should be talking about it more? Well, I think we should be talking about it more because I don't think despite all of the, you know, deniers, there's any doubt that he interfered in our election or that he has interfered in many ways in the internal affairs of other countries, funding political parties, funding political candidates, buying off government officials in different places. So that is his opus, you know, his opus operandi in the sense that he hates democracy. He particularly hates the West and he especially hates us. Now, you know what I love about that? Her use of the word deniers. You talk about projection. So what she's trying to claim is if you say that Trump won legitimately in 2016, you're not a denier when the truth is they're the she's the election denier and she thinks it happened in 2016 and she thinks it's going to happen again.

"Were you hardwired into this program Mike? Kinda, yeah. This was an actual hit. The theme song of this was an actual hit on the actual radio in 1976. We have a happy day's cast birthday. That would be Potsy. Potsy is 74. I have no idea how old Ralph Mouth is. Well, they're all in their 70s. It's a weird birthday too because Mark Hamill, virulent liberal Luke Skywalker, he is 72. And you know, you just pause, you stop and you think about the career and what happened. The great Christopher Reeve would have been 71 today. That 1995 horse accident, man, I still haven't scrubbed my brain of that and what heroism and activism. So anyway, big showbiz birthdays. A lot going on in the news. You want to do some new stuff or the book, the article? Well, let's do both. Yeah, the book comes out this week, the Fox News book, but let's start, let's not bury the lead. This Washington Post poll has people in hysteria. I mean, they are running through the streets of DC with their hair on fire. This is kind of unusual. I've never seen a media organization like the Washington Post produce the results of a poll and then trash their own poll and bang on it. Right. It's an outlier. This can't be real. This can't be right. I mean, it's devastating news for Biden if it's to be believed. Now let's face it. Polls are quirky. Here's why polls kind of matter. We kind of, they don't. The reason they don't matter is because Lord knows we saw polling about the big red wave in 2022 and that didn't quite work out for us. So let's remember before we get too excited about polls that they are subject to change dramatically. But here's where it does matter. It does give a person like Donald Trump momentum. There is an appearance of momentum. There is the facade of surging and momentum, which kind of feeds upon itself. It just, it just snowballs. So it's real. I mean, it's very, very, it's very, very palpable. And it becomes even more and more unlikely that anybody's going to overcome him. But we never know. A lot can change. We still could, we still could change. How about the debate Wednesday? I heard you mentioned driving in. I thought I saw Burgum. Yes, you did. I rectified that a couple. He did. He managed to get 3 % in Iowa, 4 % in New Hampshire. Speaking of polls I'm skeptical of, there's one, but bless his heart. He seems like a good guy. It seems to be wasted time. I have a very short appetite for wasted time. How about wasted money? How about the money he's spending on the ads? You know what those ads cost? I know. And they're all, I see, I see six Doug Burgum ads every day on Fox news, speaking of Fox news. Every ad I see on Fox news for Doug Burgum, I think how many families of police officers would that help? Or how many poor people would that feed? Or how much, how much of a border wall would that fund? It's his money. I know he can do what he wants. But what a waste of money. It seems to be. Unless, unless he comes in third in Iowa or New Hampshire, kind of punches a ticket out of the month of January. And I mean, stranger things, well, not many stranger things have happened, but then maybe, maybe he ends up with some, how old is he? Is there running mate buzz? You're not going to have a North Dakota running mate buzz. There's not buzz about him over here at the 7 -11 down the street from the airport. Buzz. There's no Doug Burgum buzz. Here's the conspiracy buzz about the Washington Post poll that you just mentioned is that this is on purpose. They want to show Biden as desperate so that in the liberal and the Democrat ivory towers, they can really get the ball moving on replacing him with somebody who might have a prayer of winning. So that's not without some merit. I mean, you know, they got to be sitting around saying, this is our guy. I mean, last week at the UN, at one point it was utter gibberish. And you're looking, I'm thinking my Lord, that's the commander in chief of the United States of America. So the Democrats have to see this. Mark, no way he'll be the nominee. No way he's going to run. Shall I ask you? I mean, okay. I'll ask you again. It's a flow chart.

Donald Trump's Shocking Immigration Announcement
"Illegal immigration is the nightmare for the Democrat Party. The Democrats cannot get out from under themselves on this. They can't get out of the way of themselves. And now with Biden making this big production out of giving nearly a half a million Venezuelans amnesty, the American people understand that this is why so many thousands and thousands of illegals are pouring across our border because we're inviting them in. We're giving them incentives to break the law and come here. We're going to give you protection. We're going to get. So along comes Donald Trump and what Trump said yesterday is a game changer. And this needs to be heard far and wide. Upon my inauguration, I will immediately terminate every open borders policy of the Biden administration. We'll get it. And follow the Dwight D. Eisenhower model. So Eisenhower was very tough on the border. People don't see him as that, but he was will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. And I'll also invoke immediately the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known or suspected gang members. And we're going to we have tremendous numbers of gang members, MS -13, the worst gangs in the world, they say. Give me your reaction to that announcement that Trump says he will. And I believe him. I don't think anybody's doubting. He'll be a man of his word. Typical. Process for him is promises made. Promises kept.

It's just about everything that's happened this week. I'm Eric Hanson, and we begin with President Trump, who made some controversial statements about abortion this week and called Ron DeSantis's six week abortion ban a terrible mistake. We might as well get this out of the way. We got President Trump with an answer to Kristen Welker on NBC's Meet the Press and her debut as the new host, which gave a lot of ammunition to Trump haters who want to hurt him and try to wreck his chances of becoming the nominee in 2024. This is an interesting dilemma that Republicans have. Here's the dilemma. Pro -life fighting for the sanctity of those unborn babies, the sanctity of their lives, the sacredness of the innocent. That's a centerpiece that's foundational for the Republican Party. And whether we like it or not, this particular debate that we're having in America over abortion is crushing us at the ballot box. And Donald Trump, I believe, was trying to address that with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. Let's get it out of the way. I've been dreading this all weekend. Well, it wasn't all weekend. I mean, this first broke, I think, Saturday. They gave a little preview of his answer. I don't love his answer, but I also don't love the way Trump critics are pouncing on him, claiming he's not pro -life. I got into a big knockdown drag out, as I expected I would with my friend Mark Davis in Dallas, because Mark is now hell bent on proclaiming that Donald Trump is not pro -life. And he's saying that because of this exchange with Kristen Welker yesterday on Meet the Press. If a federal ban landed on your desk, if you were re -elected, would you sign it at 15 weeks? Are you talking about a complete ban? A ban at 15 weeks? Well, people are starting to think of 15 weeks. That seems to be a number that people are talking about right now. Would you sign that? I would I would sit down with both sides and I negotiate something and we'll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years. I'm not going to say I would or I wouldn't. I mean, the sanctus would really design a five week and six week ban. Would you support that? I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake. But we'll come up with a number. But at the same time, Democrats won't be able to go out in six months, seven months, eight months and allow an abortion. Now, there are people who took that answer and proclaimed that Donald Trump is not pro -life, like it's important to proclaim or make some kind of declaration that he is not pro -life. I believe it's ridiculous to claim that a guy who's the only president to ever attend the March for Life, the guy who promised to get Roe v. Wade overturned because that was terrible federal. That was a terrible federal ruling and appointed Supreme Court justices who did just that to claim that Donald Trump is not pro -life is preposterous. It's absurd. It's virtue signaling. And perhaps it's just. The opportunistic way you chalk up some points for Ron DeSantis, because clearly Team DeSantis is pouncing on Donald Trump over this remark. I believe two things can be true at the same time. You can be pro -life and you can acknowledge that this issue is killing us at the ballot box. And we're losing elections. So President Trump has some campaign trouble to manage. Meanwhile, our current president can barely navigate a simple speech. If you miss Joe Biden at the U .N. this week, well, buckle up. Remember when Trump went to the United Nations and gave a really good speech and the media freaked out and said how goofy and wild and unpresidential and unprecedented it was, they had a complete meltdown and he gave a really decent speech. Compare that to the appearance of Joe Biden yesterday at the U .N. Now, even as we have all our institutions and drive creative new partnerships. Let me be clear. Certain principles of our international system are sacrosanct. Both Biden and Kamala Harris do the same thing when they say, let me be clear, run for the hills, because when they say, let me be clear, you're going to see nothing but mud and gibberish. I mean, babbling incoherently in front of the United Nations. And if that wasn't wild enough, you've got the Ukrainian President Zelensky. He marches in with his entourage. You know, I used to say I was torn about Ukraine. People that I respect insist that we have got to continue to fund the Ukrainian battle with Russia, that the American people have to help Ukraine with its border. We dare not have a wall for our own border, but we better, by God, help Ukraine with theirs. We better fund them. We better give them the missiles they want. We got to give them the ammunition they need. We need to. We got to stop Vladimir Putin. And if you push back against that, you're a stooge for Vladimir Putin. You're a Putin puppet. Just ask Tucker Carlson. When Tucker dared to express the belief that the American people have bigger fish to fry than funding Ukraine, he was thoroughly denounced and renounced as a stooge of Vladimir Putin. So there goes Zelensky marching into the UN yesterday with his bodyguards and his entourage, and he gets up to that podium. And what he said was pretty stunning. I expected he would stand at that giant podium in front of that ugly green background at the UN and talk about the need to fund his military. Talk about Russia's aggression against the Ukrainian people. Talk about Ukraine's place in the whole worldview of things instead. We got this. Even though humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives, this means that extreme weather will still impact the normal global life and some evil state will also weaponize its outcomes. And then people in the streets of New York and other cities of the world went out on climate protest. We all have seen them and when people in Morocco and Libya and other countries die as a result of natural disasters and when islands and countries disappear underwater and when tornadoes and deserts are spreading into into new territories and when all of this is happening, one unnatural disaster in Moscow decided to launch a big war and killed the tens of thousands of people. No wonder loony leftists have the Ukrainian flag in their front yard. You would think the Ukrainian president had bigger problems than climate change. Meanwhile, the United Auto Workers hit the picket lines this week. They made a few modest demands like a 40 % pay raise in a four day work week. Speaking of the UAW strike, I watched Sean Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers Union on the Sunday morning news shows. And you know, I admit I'm not a real big fan of unions. In fact, quite the opposite. I kind of think that unions have helped destroy many aspects of our economic system. In fact, it's a commonly held view that pension plans that used to be in place contributed to the decline of the U S automakers. Well, now the UAW is demanding pensions come back. They want the old fashioned defined benefit plan. And as Bloomberg points out, pensions are not worth striking over. You know what I find interesting about the UAW dispute? I heard all the talking points about how the corporate executives at the big three automakers make too much money. That's a Bernie Sanders mantra. That's an Elizabeth Warren trope. The executives make too much. You know, a company can be producing billions of dollars of revenue, but the Bernie Sanders of the world want to cap what an executive at one of those companies earns, which I always find so fascinating. It's as if they want to equate the guy or gal on the assembly line with the big automakers. Well, they're not the same. I mean it'd be nice if everybody made the same amount of money in life hate to break it to your life doesn't work that way. Some people make more than others and admittedly a lot of it is luck. I don't deserve the living that I make, but I'm very blessed to make a good living. There are people make a lot more than I do and I don't begrudge them anything, but simply because somebody that might have a show on television might make 10 times what I make. I don't think I should make what they make simply because we do the same essentially same thing. I mean, and Democrats always have such hypocrisy on this issue. Like somebody just texted me, how many homes does Bernie Sanders have again? It's more than one. But here's something that I noticed when I heard Sean Fain, the president of the UAW talk about executives compensation and how we're not making enough and we're taking steps backwards. I mean, the fact of the matter is the union gave up the defined benefit pension plan in a previous negotiation. Now they want it back. When you give up a benefit like that, you're not going to get it back. That's not realistic. And here's what I'm interested in. You know what was missing from all the coverage of the UAW strike? They never talk about what auto make auto workers make. Now I kept hearing how somebody on the assembly line can't feed their family. Really? What do they make? I kept hearing that Sean Fain kept saying the auto workers have taken three steps backwards. Really? How much do they earn? I know what they want to make. They want a 40 % pay increase and they want to only work four days a week. Now that's a pretty good deal.

Topics are in the air. Mike is in the house. How you doing, man? I'm good. I'm excited for you. I'm looking forward to hearing your conversation with Ken Paxton following Tucker's interview with Ken Paxton. I watched it last night. You know, the significance of this is so profound. It strikes me as to all the examples we're seeing of the machine trying to shut people down that they want to stop. Yeah. And if they can't stop them legitimately, if they can't get them beat at the ballot box, if they can't win in legitimate ways, then let's figure out a way to cheat. Let's figure out, let's impeach. Let's, let's have trials. Let's, let's do, let's cancel them any way we can. Let's sue them. Let's, let's prosecute them. Look at what's happening with Trump. I mean, that's the Ken Paxton story in a nutshell. They've tried to stop. And I love the way Tucker framed this, and you have too, so brilliantly. Ken Paxton is arguably the biggest thorn in the, in the side of the Biden administration that he's, that the administration's got. And he has been relentless. And as you pointed out, he's, he's on the right side of every issue, borders, law and order, the Constitution, everything, the second amendment, first amendment, go down the list, everything we pray for and that we want, Ken Paxton's on the right side of. And so they've decided, okay, we can't, he wins in a landslide. We can't stop him there. I know, let's impeach him. Now it's the same thing with Trump. There's such an analogy between the Ken Paxton story and the Donald Trump story. We can't stop his skyrocketing poll numbers. He's, he's apparently going to be the GOP nominee. And now there's a path for a number two that might not be Ron DeSantis. I mean, all along we've said Trump or DeSantis, Trump and DeSantis, apparently the New Hampshire voters don't agree. Who's, who's second? Is Vivek second in there? I don't know. It's like a race for the, it's, they're all close, they're all clustered together for second, but it's, but DeSantis is fifth.

We're going to talk about what are they going to be saying with the interest rate hikes. And also we're going to be talking about Bitcoin and other cryptos. AJ, how are you doing today? I'm doing great, man. Another day in the life. Let's get it. Drew, how are you doing? Oh, just great. You know, can't complain. Well, you can. You can. You complain when you get home. You'd like, you know, just really vent to your two -year -old. Yeah, that's where I do it. Deezy, did you see the tweet that went out yesterday about the show I'm doing with from George from Cryptos R Us? What? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's with Blockchain Boy and Neutron. Joshua Jay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So we're all like, it's for crew, like, plus, you know, and basically we're all doing something different. I believe, like, Josh is doing like a news kind of show and Blockchain Boys. I'm not really sure what Blockchain Boys doing, but I know the videos are going to start coming out here pretty soon. We're still like brainstorming my concept, but I have a really good, like, rough idea of what I'm doing. But it's going to be really interesting to see how, like, where this goes. And I'm just fun to excited to do something different, you know? And I'm excited. We got Frankie Candles doing the charts today. I see Frankie getting ready in his neon square. He's in his, like, little neon area. I don't know if, oh, he can hear me. He's showing some recognition and anticipation of what Deezy is going to say next. Yeah, we saw the Donald Trump Jr. tweets. It looks like he got hacked. Also, Rob, you're popping it. Hey, we're going to see you back. Can't wait till you come back. All right, let's just get right into crypto. Marc Kepson's Drew is done. Am I too tall? Am I too tall? Too tall for the camera? Look, I got to stand. I got to do these shows a lot, you know? I take the shoes off. So I shrink, you know? They come in. I'm like 6 '11", and I take the shoes off. Then I drop back down to 6 '3". I got the Tom Cruise lifts. All right, Bitcoin is falling a little bit, folks. We were in the green this morning when I first woke up. Now we are down 0 .6%, and Ethereum is down 1 .3%. But XRP looks pretty good. XRP is up. It is up 0 .8 % on the day so far. Meanwhile, Cardano, I woke up this morning. It was up, but now it's down. It is down 0 .7%. Dogecoin down 1 .3%. TonCoin finally cooling off a little bit for the week here. It is down 1 .2%. Litecoin has taken a little bit of a beating, folks. Litecoin is down 5%. We talked about Litecoin a little bit yesterday on ATB. I highly recommend you check that out after this stream. All right, let's look at the top gainers. Then we're going to look at the top losers. You know, I have a streak of keeping my coins in the losers, but not today, folks. I'm feeling good. In fact, maybe I'll have a coin in the top 10. Who knows? All right, here we have Caspa leading the way. Caspa is just on fire, folks. The people who bought Caspa at $0 .01, $0 .02, looking good. Just put in a higher high too. You got past that last one, yep. All right, we are now above a nickel, and it looks like maybe price discovery mode for a Caspa. XDC is up 4 .3%. Maker is up. Radix is up. Aave is up. I have a coin in the ties. A little Solana. I think maybe I have some Arbitrum. Maybe. I'm not even sure I have to check. Then we have, you know, XRP is up 0 .8%. We got gold. Gold's moving to the upside. The graph moving to the upside, even though Bitcoin and ETH are down. Okay, so it's not all blood in the streets, but hopefully, it's not going to be blood in Deasy's wallet, guys. And again, I promise you, I do not check this ahead of time. I kind of like being surprised. I like discovering it with you. So let's discover cryptos, Deasy's coins in here. I'm looking good today. All right, I don't know how long the streak has been continuing. I don't know when's the last. I think I last held Litecoin in 2021. Never had Thor, Phrax, eCash, or I know Frankie likes to trade Adam. I like to trade Eve. So maybe we'll talk to him about the Adam is falling 4 % here. Litecoin down 5%. Thor chained down 5%. Any of these coins, you know, peak it. Well, if you go at it, I do have two in the top 10. I got two in the top 10. Just, you know, just to make it feel good. But any of these screaming at you here? Yeah, Thor, Litecoin, Phrax. Not surprised really to see. I mean, everything kind of came up yesterday. I'm still kind of sticking to the theory that the pump we're seeing could possibly be a bull trap. I think, you know, when we get into the FOMC news, the pauses that is likely coming is going to be bullish for the sentiment. I'm just still like kind of macro worried based off of the stock market sharks. Actually, the Algorand, you know, down 2 .8%. That one's kind of obviously yelling at me a little bit. I have a theory coming up, but I'm not going to say it right now. But I'm making a video about it, about Algorand. So stay tuned for that. OK, so you're going to create more? I'm going to create more. I create more crypto content every day and some of it's about Algorand. But I like how it's a period. Create more. No exclamation point. Just create. It's more like create more. Oh, OK. Great. More. Great. Great. Yeah. All right. Well, we're going to create some stories here about the feds. What are they doing? I don't know if we've ever had an article from this news organization. ABC. Shout out to Mickey Mouse and the Disney crew here. Fed to decide on a rate hike. Testing optimism about a soft landing as inflation rises again. Upon announcing the Fed Reserve's latest rate hike decision in July, Jerome Powell spoke out a lectern in Washington, DC for a half hour before he dropped a bombshell. The Central Bank staff has abandoned its forecast of a recession. Staff at the Fed, in other words, now expect the Central Bank to achieve a soft landing, an outcome in which the US brings down inflation while avoiding a downturn. Inflation has ticked up for two consecutive months, reversing some of the progress made in the effort to bring price increases down to normal levels. Meanwhile, oil prices have soared, threatening to push inflation even higher. Well, they got like moving ads. Whoa, whoa, what's going on here? Calm down, ABC. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect the Fed to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged, affording policymakers time to weigh their next move as a rapid series of previous rate hikes take full effect. I was looking at Caleb Franzen's tweets. We're at 99 % on the prediction market unchanged today, right? Have you been looking at the, when is the next one? Is it November? I can pull the calendar. I'm pretty sure it's the end of October. I think it's like maybe on Halloween. Let me double check. Oh, on Halloween is going to be spooky. Okay, Drew, are you going to give out candy this Halloween? Absolutely. You know, but actually I'll be doing candied apples. Okay, I'm going to be giving out pamphlets on inflation to children. Yeah, you know, you could have got Reese's pieces, but blame Jerome Powell. You can take advantage of the time and the season to teach your children about tax. Tax them. Like attacking kids for their pillowcases of candy? Taxing them heavily. Yeah, take 33 % of every Snickers bar they get. That's right. Yeah, that's just the way it is. Why wait? Welcome to America, you know? And yeah, the next FOMC is October 31st, November 1st, so. Okay, okay. October 31st. All right, all right. Halloween, what's Jerome Powell going to dress up as? Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Pat, do you want us to dress up on the channel? I might be willing to dress up in a costume. I might be willing. You know, every - I could break out the green spandex, go old school. You know, every Halloween, AJ disappears and a Mr. Meeseeks just shows up. Okay, I heard existence is pain though. Existence is pain. We're not fumbling around for meaning here, Deezy. All right. Well, I'm fumbling around for this rate of inflation. It eases slightly 6 .7 % despite the oil prices surging. You know, like we said, I think the oil is going to be a leading indicator, so inflation will trickle down from the oil prices. If you want to think about it, it's going to cost more money to get those bananas to drive from point A to point B because they're going to have to spend more in the gas tank. This is going to be - It's just give it a while, let it roll out to the rest of the economy. Namely, food. Oil prices really, really like to impact food prices a couple months down the line. Well, we're looking at the ONS as the Office for National Statistics, and they said the consumer price index measure slowed in the 12 months to August from the 6 .8 figure reported the previous month thanks to food rising at a weaker pace during the month compared to August 22. During the X minute, I have a tweet about Canadian food prices, and I just kind of look at where they've gone over the past 20 years. It is shocking. It is shocking. I used Bard. I was like, this doesn't feel right for the price. I went to a Canadian grocery store, and I went low. I went low. There's expensive eggs and cheap eggs. I typed in the cheap egg price. It was still very scary. All right, well, we have predictions. Jerome Powell's got his ideas. You notice I was thinking about this BlackRock. What is BlackRock thinking about all this? BlackRock and others predict the Fed's next move. What does it mean for Bitcoin though? According to Marilyn Watson, is a BlackRock's head of global fundamental income strategy. The central bank's federal funds target rate will remain roughly the same until the end of the year going through its September, November, and December meetings. For the record, I think the economic data has consistently surprised to the upside, she said. That includes GDP, the unemployment rate, and the labor market. Beware, beware of recession. The analyst has previously argued that Bitcoin's price is macroeconomic determined by conditions, including its four -year cycles, which I am still a firm believer in for this cycle. Might be less of an effect of the previous one, but I'm still a believer in the four -year cycle, going to push Bitcoin to the new high. I do think we'll set in a new all -time high. I don't think we're going to hit a quarter million dollars in two years, but I think we're going to flirt with $100K, which they do not believe are related to the Bitcoin halving. So they're saying the four -year cycle is not related. I don't know what they're saying here. Risk assets go lower in recessions. So I'd expect Bitcoin would not perform well in that environment. It has not seen a real recession in its existence. It was birthed out of a recession, but yeah, hasn't really gone through one from the beginning stages to the end there. Yeah, there's never been a Bitcoin bull run during a phase of quantitative tightening. We've always been quantitatively easing the money supply anytime Bitcoin goes up into the right. And that obviously is what it takes. I think they're kind of leaning into if we're in a recession, and that lines up with the four -year cycle. But just so far, we're three for three with the having idea playing out. And the trend hasn't broken yet, so that's why I always say sticking to November 25 as a benchmark, but that's just a benchmark. It could be behind that. It could be in front of that. We don't have a crystal ball, but we can go off the pattern that we've seen before. All right. Well, speaking of quantitative tightening, we also have calfskin tightening, the tightest calfskin in the entire world. I don't care if you have a baby cow jacket for an extra small on an 800 -pound man, there is no tighter calfskin than the man I'm looking at right now. That is Frankie Candles. Frankie Candles, welcome back. How's it doing? Does it feel good? It feels good. The calfskin is tight, and so is Bitcoin's price action. But yeah, I don't want to waste time here. Let's go ahead and jump right into the charts here. Now, here we are. Now, obviously, I talk about this all the time. I don't typically trade on newsdays like this. It is usually a complete washing machine. Usually the shorts get wrecked, then the longs get wrecked, or the longs get wrecked, and then the shorts get wrecked. So I don't typically trade. Now, I am in a few trades right now. I am in this Bitcoin long right now. I have profits locked in on this trade and my stop loss is at my entry. So kind of how I am playing this today is I'm going to be holding my long. I am long from about $25 ,000 to $50 ,000 just below this range. And again, I have taken profits on that stop loss at break even. And then I am also in a short position from somewhere up here. I am slightly in profit on the short position. So I am long up and now I am in this small short position that is in slight profit. However, this is kind of how I'm playing this today, DZ. Because basically, like I said, I never recommend people trade on these newsdays just because of the complete unpredictable volatility that you're likely to see. Now, the last FOMC meeting, I believe, was on the 25th, 26th of July. I believe someone could correct me if I'm wrong on that. But we actually have seen a few FOMC meetings where we didn't really have too much happen. And I've been telling people that we are likely in that kind of boring accumulation phase of the bear market. A lot of times, if you go back to at least the 2017 or 2018, 2019 bear market, we had that bear market rally. And once we topped off at that point, we kind of just bled out. And for the most part, if you kind of just ignore this panic wick from March of 2020, which was obviously a Black Swan event, we kind of just wiggled sideways. We got that big bear market rally, we topped off, bled out a little bit, and then we just kind of went sideways again with the exception of that panic wick. And I do think we are in somewhat of a similar situation here where the rest of this bear market may not be the most exciting thing ever. But for today, basically how I'm handling this, DZ, is I'm going to be kind of...

A highlight from The Left Is Removing Statues & Erasing Americas History
"It's a real blessing to be surrounded by good people, and there are people who have my back struggling a little bit today. Two dreaded words, dry socket. Anybody who's had a wisdom tooth extraction knows the perils of dry socket. Well, good old dummy me got it and not doing so hot. So we're going to bring in my pal Kevin McCulloch. Kevin and I got to visit on the big Salem, New York, cruise around the island of Manhattan a week or two ago. Kevin, of course, is an accomplished talk show host based in New York City. He's been heard for years on our Christian station and on the news talk station. This is a man of faith, a terrific guy. And Kevin, you're going to help back me up a little bit today. I might be handing off the baton right off the bat. Have you ever had wisdom tooth dry socket problems before? No, I haven't. And just the sound of the words dry socket strike fear into my deepest being. So I feel very badly for you, Mike, and we've got whatever you need from us today. We're here to help. It's every bit as bad as it sounds, and it's not a good thing. It's what you don't want after you have a... I knew it was going too easy. I had the wisdom tooth removed Friday afternoon after the show. Everything was going great. Saturday, I was feeling great, Sunday not so good. And so it happens sometimes. So it's good to have you here with us. And first of all, many, many thanks to the great job you always do when you fill in for us. Of course, I've been listening to you for years, and it must be a fun experience for you because you're sort of transitioning from your own audience and your base into sort of another platform with our show. And I know our listeners have welcomed you with open arms. Well, I have, and Mike, the Mike Gallagher audience continues to be, I think, not only the most informed because of your daily efforts, but they prove to be generous in all of the campaigns that you do. And as I said when I filled in for you the last time, because I work PM Drive, I'm a big Mike Gallagher listener. I listen and actually many times watch your show on the Salem News Channel. And it's just fun to hang out in your sandbox. So thank you for letting me do that. Thank you. And thank you to Jerry Crowley and everybody at Salem Media of New York that allows us to have all the connections to do. It takes a lot of technology to do what we're doing at this very moment, Mike. And if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to. You'd be in dry socket hell if we didn't have a better management team. And speaking of Salem News Channel, That Kevin Show has become a big hit on SNC. You're doing a great job with that. And I love the mix. And I was one of your first guests. I was really honored to be on your show. And you've got a great blend of politics and pop culture and lifestyle and all kinds of neat stuff. In fact, speaking of that, let's kick off with some breaking news. Donald Trump Jr.'s account on X, formerly Twitter, was apparently hacked earlier today. I don't know if you've heard this story. There were a series of – well, get this. There were a series of offensive tweets, including one that said, I'm sad to announce my father, Donald Trump, has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024. You know, Kevin, there's such evil out there and there is such sickness and mean -spiritedness and viciousness. And somehow this almost seems par for the course, doesn't it? Well, it's one of those things where if Donald Trump lives this rent -free in the left's heads, just imagine how effective he'll be if he's reelected. I mean, this is – you've got to remember, and I know that you do, Mike, but for people that are listening, particularly cynics, Donald Trump's one of the few presidents that campaigned on a slate of promises and then went and actually did what he promised. If he comes back, he's already making promises about what's going to happen. There's going to be cleaning of the House and the FBI and the DOJ. There's going to be getting rid of the deep state at the Pentagon and places where wokeness has overtaken actual common sense in terms of policy. So of course they're going to play dirty and of course they're going to try to do everything they can. And all I have to do to compare what they think about Donald Trump Jr. is just ask the question, Hunter Biden? Question mark? No kidding. No kidding. Is there any comparison between the two? And you know, speaking of Trump and his promises and his predictions, something has come to fruition in New York City, and you know the city as well as anybody. Now comes news that these goofballs in Manhattan are actually going to consider taking down statues or any commemoration of George Washington, of Christopher Columbus. And I want to go back to 2017. I want to play this for you, Kevin. Check out what Trump said, because when he said it at the time, they condemned him. Oh, how crazy is he? Check this out. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of to them a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name. George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down excuse me, are we going to take down are we going to take down statues to George? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? OK, good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. Now we're going to take down his statue. So Kevin McCullough, do you remember the backlash? Do you remember the backlash he got when he said that and they mocked him and they said, what a lunatic. And he's a fear monger. And now just look at what's happening in New York City, what he predicted could be coming to fruition. Yeah. And you know, what's particularly sad about that, Mike, it's like if people have a different view of history, so be it. That doesn't mean, number one, that they should set policy for what everybody thinks about history. And certainly I would make an argument that history is made by flawed people. And it's really people that overcome the worst flaws of what they have that really do great things and that we should celebrate the great achievements, not expect every single human being to have been perfect. But beyond all of that, this city's in a mess. We have crime. We've got migrant overpopulation in ways and areas that we can't even begin to deal with. And this is what people want to focus on. I mean, and it is you're talking about a warped mix of priorities for sure. It's upside down. And it's absolutely happening as I mean, I've been following this and I'm in just absolute utter amazement, as you say, New York City dealing with crime, crippled under monumental budget cuts due to the illegal immigration issue that frankly the Democrats created. I mean, you want to be a sanctuary city, be a sanctuary city. And now the City Council's Cultural Affairs Committee is going to hold a public hearing on a measure to remove works of art on city property that depict a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery. Well, of course, George Washington's at the top of that list. So Trump was right. These nuts in New York and in other blue cities are going to try to remove the founding fathers from our consciousness because they own slaves. And it's exactly what Trump said back in 2017.

"You can go to jail for saying, you can go to jail for saying, ladies and gentlemen, I believe that the moon is made out of Swiss cheese. Come get me, put handcuffs on me, take me away. Now, here's, though, but let's go apples to apples. The government, Biden's government, Biden's Justice Department, and of course, that's the whole story, is trying to make the case that Trump's words and actions led to the riot on January 6th, and therefore disenfranchised voters. You were talking about this earlier. They're going to use that old gag, the disenfranchisement of voters. How are voters disenfranchised? By sitting around saying, as far as I know, Trump didn't get into the White House in 2021. Nobody was disenfranchised. Biden's the president. He's in the Oval Office. How can you even make that claim, Mark? What can you possibly... Okay, so Trump didn't think that he legitimately lost in 2020. Guess what? Join the club, because I've got a montage that I'm going to play, not from 2016. But Mike, that's not possible, because 2020 was the first year that anybody ever doubted an election. Surely you don't have audio of Democrats doubting results from the past. Do you remember the George W. Bush-Al Gore Supreme Court battle? Remember that one? Very old enough to remember that. There's a montage that everybody can now hear. It goes back to those days when prominent Democrats, one after another, lined up and said that George W. Bush is not the legitimate president of the United States. He was the president select, remember? And the Supreme Court anointed him. And by the way, all of those completely untrue things that they said, they have every right to say them. They have every right to say them. Nobody came to their house and went, we're going to indict you and lock you up for the rest of your life for saying those things. You know, one of the most popular text message articles that I've received is when people text me the keyword Trump and we send back a list of Trump accomplishments, because a lot of people forget what happened in the four years that he was president. So thousands and literally tens of thousands of people have sent that text message, the word Trump, to my text line, which is 800-655-MIKE. A close second, and now I think a close third, will be when people want to hear the montage of Hillary, of the late John Lewis, of Jimmy Carter. Go down the list. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, not only doubting the legitimacy of the 2016 election, but now you can hear the montage that the great folks over at Grabian put together questioning the outcome of the George Bush Al Gore election. If you text the keyword fraud to 800-655-MIKE from your phone, we'll send you back the video clip of the election deniers Hillary Clinton at all in 2016. If you text the words more fraud to 800-655-MIKE, we'll send you back the montage of all the election deniers from the George Bush Al Gore battle. I mean, it's complete hypocrisy.

"But written by this wonderful man right here, Andrew Gold, who did such great work with Linda Ronstadt and others and wrote some pretty great records himself like Lonely Boy. The great Andrew Gold would have been, gosh, it was his birthday today, and so there we go. Well, we need friends. Oh my goodness gracious me, we sure do. We have to have a community, and you know, I'm going to start out maybe riling you up a little bit. I'm not going to suggest you're mistaken by saying that when I say that people should be rallying behind Trump uniformly, I get it, we're going to let the game come to us, voters are going to get to decide. But boy, this would be a good time if you've been on the fence and you have been sort of squishy about, well, I don't know, Trump, baggage, DeSantis, maybe an alternative, I kind of like that vague fellow. Now, this is a time to stand with a guy who is being unbelievably persecuted, not prosecuted, persecuted for his beliefs. You know, Mark, I've been thinking a lot about that, and first of all, I can't believe my level of emotion right now. I didn't expect to be this emotional. Me neither. Give voice to that because you and I have done this forever, right? We have some decades. There have been presidents we liked, those we didn't. Policies we thought were great, policies we thought were horrible. There is something singularly horrid about this. Please, you go first. Well, the word is sinister. There's a sinister effort to stop the election process, to subvert the election. Everybody knows it, everybody's in on it. The Democrats are well aware of this. When Trump says, why did they wait two and a half years to throw all this at me? We know the answer to that. So I'm feeling kind of a combination. First of all, I'm surprised at how sad I am and how fearful I am. I don't know how this is going to play out, but it's not good. It's not good for the Democrats. It will not be good for the Democrats. It's not good for Republicans. It's not good for this constitutional republic to criminalize political speech. And that's literally what Jack Smith, this guy, this scoundrel, is attempting to do. He's making the case that he knows that Donald Trump didn't believe that the election was suspect. Now, you and I are in a very unique position here on this. We hear every day from people from all walks of life. We hear people north, south, east, west, young, old, right, left. Is there any doubt in your mind that of the thousands of reactions you and I have gotten from people saying that Trump got hosed in 2020, that the thousands and thousands of people who have said this election was not on the up and up, COVID laws, they changed things because of COVID, they changed election laws in the middle of the night, all the suspicions that people have. Is there any doubt in your mind, Mark, that those are not sincerely held beliefs? None. Of course, they believe it. And people can agree with it, disagree with it. And you can feel that things were squirrely, or you can say, as Trump does, that we definitely won.

"If you want that clip, you could just text the keywords MOREFRAUD to our MyPillow text line, which is 800-655-MIKE, and we'll send you back that clip. Graybian put it together, and it's good for you to have that. If you text the keyword FRAUD, we'll send you back the original clip, and that was the one that, well, let's play that one, too. I mean, let's get it all out of the way, because I got a caller, Kevin, from Quebec City in Canada who wants to challenge me. I guess he doesn't believe what Jack Smith himself is charging Trump with, that they are trying to prosecute Trump based on his state of mind and his belief that the 2020 election was rigged. We're going to bring Kevin into all of this in just a moment, because I want you to hear an opposing point of view, because you know me. When there's somebody who calls, I put them to the top of the line. If you want to get that clip that Graybian put together with all of those prominent Democrats challenging Republican victories in elections, just text the keywords MOREFRAUD to 800-655-MIKE. The two words, MOREFRAUD, 800-655-MIKE. Here's the original clip that we've been playing for months, a montage put together by the Republican National Committee. Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put in office because the Russians didn't fail. Trump knows he's an illegitimate president. The president-elect, although legally elected, is not legitimate. I don't see the president-elect as a legitimate president. You said you believe that Russia's interference altered the outcome of the election. I do. We have a president who, if in fact it is proven, has been assisted by the Russians and may in fact not be a legitimate president. The one thing that Trump is fearful of when it comes to his being president is that finally we will see how illegitimate his victory actually was. I have an objection. I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina. I object because people are horrified. He's an illegitimate president. Do you believe Trump is an illegitimate president? What I believe is that there's no question that the outcome of this election was affected by the Russian interference. There absolutely is a cloud of illegitimacy. So that legitimacy is in question, yes. So that was a very tainted election, and in that sense it's illegitimate. Wow, they're going to have to build a lot of prisons for all those Democrats who are going to go to jail for denying the outcome of an election. Now, Kevin in Canada has been trying to get through for a while now. Hey, Kevin, give me your reaction to what all those Democrats said about Trump not being the legitimately elected president of the United States. Yeah, Mike, I totally agree with some of what you're saying about that. You know, Democrats have been criticizing the system as well. Everybody has been criticizing the system. It's not a perfect system. We all know that. But I need to call you up, Mike, on your opening statements at the beginning of the show when you stated that Trump is being indicted for expressing an opinion. Mike, you know very well that if he would have just expressed his opinion, as he does often, that the election is rigged and that it's not fair and he lost and he actually won the election, he would not be indicted. How about the phone call to Brad Raffsenberger? I think that will be accepted and presented as evidence when the trial begins. But all of that, Kevin, is steeped in his belief that the election was rigged. All of Jack Smith's prosecution, Kevin, is based on the charge that Trump didn't believe what he was saying about the outcome of the election. Would you agree? Of course, the origin of that is that. But the terminology is not opinion, it's conspiracy because he acted. If he would have just said statements during speeches, you know, the way he does, I don't think he would have been indicted at all. He actually made phone calls. Hey, Brad, find the 11,800 votes, please. I know. Baloney. I'm just saying. And that's so easily explained. He believed that the amount of votes, here's the defense, and they're not going to stand a chance. His defense is he believed that that X number of thousand votes were illegitimate, were fraudulent, and he wanted those votes to be reconciled. I mean, Kevin, you're agreeing with me that the entire basis of the prosecution is based and steeped in Trump's belief that the election wasn't legitimate. You can't have it both ways because if you remove the origin of the charge, there is no indictment. You can't indict a president for a belief that an election was illegitimate. And guess what? He gets to make phone calls. And guess what, Kevin? He gets to make phone calls. He gets to call. Go ahead. He can. You know what? We live in a free country. The United States is a free nation. I get that. But when he does that, he opens the door for an interpretation of conspiracy. Also, calling on Mike Pence in public, Mike Pence, do the right thing, please. Do the right thing and refuse those things. I think that as well will be presented as evidence. And he legitimately believes that Pence did the wrong thing. Kevin, this is America, not Canada. You get to believe that somebody did the wrong thing. You get to believe that an election was rigged, just like all those Democrats said they thought the election was rigged. We have a thing here in the United States, Kevin, and I say this with respect. I'm not trying to denigrate you. Maybe you guys don't believe in free speech the way we do. But we believe that somebody can be wrong and express that belief without having to be afraid of going to prison. Do you get that? I get that, but the problem is, I'm just saying, I'm not against Trump. I'm just saying it's being interpreted as Trump acting on it. Well, guess what? The action is the problem, not the opinion, Mike. And in Canada, it's the same thing. Your interpretation means squat. With all due respect, Kevin, the way it's being interpreted, that's the problem. And maybe you guys do something differently in Canada in your judicial system, but here in the United States, we don't get to have some rogue prosecutor interpret something and send a former president to jail. Kevin, I'm glad you got through. We've got a lot of people that want to speak, and I want some normal reactions too. We are in a time of distress. We are in a time of peril. This is an awful nightmare that this country is being dragged into by Joe Biden's Justice Department. And everybody knows what election interference looks like, smells like, feels like. This is an attempt to impact an election. They all know it. The Democrats know it. We know it. Now what are we going to do about it? Well, we've got to be engaged. We've got to be engaged like we've never been engaged before. And you'll want to start by calling me at 1-800-655-MIKE. And walk around the office on eggshells and have my words policed by HR. Words like grandfather, peanut gallery, long time no see, no can do. When I grow up, I want to be obsessed with emotional safety and do workplace sensitivity training all day long. When I grow up, I want to climb the corporate ladder just by following the crowd. I want to be a conformist. I want to weaponize my pronouns. What are pronouns? It's time to grow up and get back to work. Introducing the number one Woke-free job board in America, RedBalloon.Work. This is your source for breaking news. And what to make of it all. This is the Mike Gallagher Show. Now I read the indictment very carefully. There is no smoking gun. This case really boils down to a disagreement over the speech and opinions of Donald J. Trump. I think that the Trump base obviously will rally around my father-in-law. He is the only hope we have left for this country. A New York Times poll confirms the current political reality. Donald Trump can win a rematch with Joe Biden. Now from the ReliefFactor.com studios, here's Mike Gallagher. I know to many this will sound like an exaggeration, but it's not. Jack Smith may just have gotten Trump elected in 2024. I'm feeling raw emotion from Americans from every corner of the country who are angry, who are upset, who are disgusted, and are truly, truly distressed about the future of the country. And when CNN somberly reports that it's a raw morning if you're sitting in Biden's reelection headquarters because a New York Times poll confirms that Trump can win, what do you think indicting Trump over his speech will lead to? It's where we are. It's a dark, dark, dark day in America. Trump is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow at 4 p.m. That'll be a three-ring circus. We are in unprecedented, uncharted waters. We've never witnessed anything like this before in the history of the United States of America. And of course, there are various echo chambers over on MSNBC and CNN. They're celebrating. They're popping champagne corks. They're thrilled. Over on Fox News Channel, not so much. Last night, I saw law professor Alan Dershowitz with Sean Hannity with this legal assessment about these latest criminal charges filed against Trump, which seemed to be based on the belief that his expressed belief that the 2020 election wasn't legitimate is now a criminal offense, according to this special counsel, Jack Smith. Here was Professor Dershowitz last night on Fox News. I will be shocked if you don't agree with my assessment that this case really boils down to a disagreement over the speech and opinions of Donald J. Trump. And I naively believe, professor, that freedom of speech was foundational to our Constitution. Was I wrong? No, you're not wrong. Not only freedom of speech, but freedom to petition the government for redress of grievances and freedom to challenge elections. In the indictment, they acknowledge that there are these freedoms. But then they claim that Donald—this is the key point—that Donald Trump actually believed that he lost the election, that everything he did was fraudulent, that he conspired with unnamed lawyers, mostly, to affect the election. Now, you're allowed to challenge elections. Indeed, the best way to challenge elections is to come up with a slate of alternate electives. That's what a court said in Hawaii in 1960. That's been the case throughout our history. So the government has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that, subjectively, Donald Trump actually believed that he lost the election and acted contrary to that belief. Now, I read the indictment very carefully. There is no smoking gun. There is no one who is credibly prepared to testify that Donald Trump said to him, I know personally I lost the election. There's a lot of evidence that people told him he lost the election. But you know Donald Trump, and you know that he's going to make up his own mind. And they're going to have a very hard time proving that. Now, it's the District of Columbia. 90-some-odd percent of the jury pool will have voted against him. So they may actually get a conviction from a D.C. jury. But will it survive appellate review and review to the Supreme Court? I do not think so. Of course it won't. And that's the only chance is that an appellate court or a Supreme Court will restore some sanity to this crazy, crazy time we're living through. You understand what this comes down to. And if you listen to Professor Dershowitz carefully, the indictment acknowledges that Trump has every right to disbelieve the outcome of the election. The indictment apparently acknowledges that he has every right to attempt a form of redress. He could challenge or ask states to challenge or try to certify electors. He can do all that. Jack Smith alleges he knows Trump's state of mind somehow. He magically can get inside Trump's brain and understands that Trump was lying and knew he was lying. It's called the big lie. The media reports that over and over again. It's like being a vaccine denier. They like these little expressions that they put together. And the big lie is what the Washington Post calls it and CNN and all the usual suspects on the left. The big lie. The big lie. Here's the fallacy behind that. And sitting here in this studio day after day, I can guarantee you that the thousands of emails and text messages and calls that I've received from people who think the 2020 election was rigged, believe that. I can promise you that Trump believes that. Now, anyone who thinks the election was rigged and that the deck was stacked against Trump and that all the rules that were changed in the middle of the night, disruptions and all the crap we witnessed in 2020 because of covid and covid, you know, drive through mail in ballots and all the crap that we witnessed. Listen, it may have all gone flawlessly. It may have been a nightmare. We're never going to know. We're never going to know. But we get to believe what we believe. As an American, we have a fundamental protected right to have an opinion about something like an election. And Jack Smith's whole premise is that Trump didn't believe that he lost. That Trump knew he lost, didn't believe he won, rather. Jack Smith's entire premise is that Trump was simply lying, couldn't accept the outcome and doesn't believe it. Now, again, I'm the recipient of thousands of American voices who have called me, who have texted me, who have given me your opinion that Biden didn't legitimately win in 2020. I don't think for one minute that any of you have expressed that belief to me and lied. Biden's Justice Department is attempting to get into Trump's head. Biden's Justice Department is attempting to know his state of mind. And of course, we all know it's impossible. It's impossible to do that. Let's listen together to Vivek Ramaswamy because of all the presidential candidates. And my buddy Seb Gorka and I have a little bit of a mild disagreement on whether DeSantis gave an appropriate response to the Jack Smith indictment yesterday. Seb doesn't think, he doesn't, he thinks DeSantis is being disingenuous. DeSantis is getting criticized from all sides because he basically said, I haven't yet read the indictment, but essentially it's wrong. It's the weaponization of the Justice Department. And if I'm elected president, I'll stop it. I happen to think that's a perfectly acceptable answer. Could he be more forceful? Sure. Could he be more vociferous? Of course. But ultimately, he's running for president. He's not pulling a Mike Pence or a Chris Christie and going scorched earth and attacking Trump. Quite the contrary. DeSantis is not attacking Trump. Now, he's probably being pragmatic. He needs Trump supporters in order to get the nomination. Nonetheless, I don't fault DeSantis' response like many have done. I certainly support and admire candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's response. Here's what he posted last night on X. It's another sad moment in our country's history. The 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump, has yet again been indicted by the Biden DOJ, a political party in power that is now repeatedly using police force to indict and arrest and potentially eliminate its political opponents from competition. This is a politicized prosecution. It is a political persecution through prosecution. Now, in a third indictment just in a matter of months against the person who is still at present, the lead contender in the Republican primary for U.S. president. I want to be very clear. I am running for U.S. president in that same Republican primary. It would be easier for me if Donald Trump were eliminated from competition. That's not how I want to win. This is not about politics to me. This is about first principles. We do not want to become a country where the party in power is able to use banana republic-like tactics to eliminate its political opponents. Yet I'm sad to say that's exactly where we are. The allegations in this indictment fall flat. It is wrong and incorrect and inaccurate to place blame for what happened on January 6th at the feet of Donald Trump. That's a powerful response. Ron DeSantis' response, again, he got shredded from all sides, according to Mediaite. DeSantis said, as president, I will end the weaponization of government, replace the FBI director, and ensure a single standard of justice for all Americans. Washington, D.C. is a swamp, DeSantis said. And it is unfair to have to stand trial before a jury that is reflective of the swamp mentality. So to be honest with you, DeSantis, DeSantis' official response supports Donald Trump. And I wonder if you agree with me or you agree with Seb Gorka, who is, again, my good friend and colleague. Seb posted last night on X, oh, so no wisecracks this time about hush money from porn stars. What happened to you, Ron? Seb and I spoke a little bit about it this morning. Dr. G believes that Governor D. DeSantis is being disingenuous. What do you think? Does this help or hurt DeSantis? Frankly, I don't think it's about anybody but Donald Trump and you and me. And I believe that a lot of DeSantis supporters are going to crawl over broken glass to support Donald Trump now because of the principle, because of what is at stake. I believe that Jack Smith may just have gotten Donald Trump elected last night. 1-800-655-MIKE, welcome aboard. It's a breaking news Wednesday, a very, very sad, dark chapter in American history, maybe one of the worst. All because Joe Biden and the Democrats are desperate to stop Trump any way they can. All because Joe Biden and the Democrats want to prevent the American people from getting to determine who the next president of the United States is. It's nauseating, it's grotesque, it is an abomination. And the American people, I don't think, are going to stand for it. 800-655-MIKE, let's see what you think. 800-655-6453, your voice, your call, your perspective, coming up.

Because it isn't about this one man. It's about you and me. It's about Americans who have an ability to express our beliefs. And what they're trying to do is criminalize speech. Jonathan Turley, the law professor over at Fox News, said yesterday, this is literally the criminalization of disinformation. And of course, with all due respect to Professor Turley, if the belief that the 2020 election wasn't legitimately won by Biden is disinformation, a whole lot of us are going to have to go to jail, I guess. They won't be able to build enough prisons to hold the millions of Americans who are cynical and suspicious about the outcome of the election. And nobody ever thinks that the people who feel that way don't hold that sincere belief. You're not going around saying you didn't think the election was legitimate because you're lying. That's your belief. Jonathan Turley calls it criminalizing disinformation. Well, I think he established that this is the criminalization of disinformation. That's what he was referring to. I think he's going to have a hard time with that. I mean, this looks like basically a complaint that follows Oscar Wilde's rule that the best way to be rid of temptation is to yield to it. I mean, it does not appear that this was motivated by new evidence. And in order to get a conviction, he will have to use material that in my view is clearly protected by the First Amendment.

"By the way, first time callers only. One 805 two O one two three four deeply unjust. Let me give you a few reactions. Andrew McCarthy is going to join us in our two. You might go to a guy when the criminal law and especially the law of New Yorkers involved. I can't even make any sense out of this. It's one set of facts. Trumped up into 34 misdemeanors and somehow magically cooked into a felony by reference to an offstage criminal act. Criminal statute. It truly is the worst recipe ever. And the former president is right to be outraged his supporters are right to be outraged. And I'm always willing to be persuaded by someone who makes a case. And I don't know what Jack Smith is up to and I don't know what the Georgia people are up to, but I know now that Manhattan got nothing. And this is a pure example of the downward spiral of American politics into criminalization. John, you. Professor John you at Berkeley on Fox News last night, cut number 20. There's a big hole in this case and this indictment and the statement of facts that were released with it do nothing to fill that hole, which is how do you turn this misdemeanor, which you had to bring two years within two years of the crime, how does it get elevated into a felony? Well, as you said in this press conference showed, Bragg says, oh, it's because he was fixing the books to conceal another crime. He nowhere explains in the indictment or in the statement effects what that other crime is. We're left hanging. And if we don't know, I think this is a huge hole in the indictment. I think the defense attorneys are going to be all over it, especially if Bragg tries to say, oh, it's about somehow defrauding the entire voting public of New York or of the whole country. It's absurd. This is the Easter prosecution. He's resurrecting an old charge old misdemeanor and intent. For political purposes, it's just a stunt. Andrew McCarthy is going to join me later was on with Neil cavuto yesterday on Fox cut number 21. Neil, if the judge does his job right here, the case should be dismissed and is actually should be dismissed quickly. I agree with what my friends have said, but I think this is actually worth than what we anticipated because what we anticipated was that they were trying to bootstrap a misdemeanor, which, by the way, they'd have a good deal of difficulty proving if it was just the misdemeanor. But they need to show that he concealed another crime in supposedly falsifying the business records. And what we've thought up until now is that he was going to use that as an avenue to enforce federal campaign finance law. Now maybe that's what he's planning to do, but he's got to tell us what he's planning to do. And more importantly, he's got to tell Donald Trump. So I think this indictment, even before you get to the statute of limitations and whether he's got jurisdiction to enforce federal law, I would dismiss it on its face because it fails to state a crime..

"A lot of people feel the same way with what district attorney Bragg is doing, trying to get some bragging rights, so to speak here, that he's the guy that can indict Donald Trump. But what are you really doing? See, the Democrats are not actually playing chess. This is a bad game of checkers, and they're not thinking this through. I say this only in that I know what their motivation is. They want to make sure that he never, ever, ever, ever, gets near the Oval Office again. But by doing this, they actually are going to have a boomerang effect where they make catapult the guy into the Oval Office. I mean, think about this. Who the heck? Are they going to run from the Democrat party? I'm sorry, but Joe Biden has really proven. He's lack of worst as a president between the inflation. You heard me just talking about eggs 6% inflation. We got a banking crisis underway. Who the heck knows what the fed's going to do, by the way, the CEO of key city capital is coming up Thai Lasseter. He's going to talk to us about what to expect from the fed. There are meeting today and tomorrow. We have so many problems. The situation in Ukraine. The situation with China, meanwhile, congressional investigations are turning up allegations that his family, Biden's family was benefiting tremendously from China. So if there's financial kickbacks going on, those are things that do, in fact, need to be investigated. And this is all baggage that Joe Biden carries with him. I do not think that he is electable. Second time around. So who are they going to put forward? Kamala, I mean, my gosh, poor Kamala, poor Kamala. I do not think she has all the intelligence that's needed, though clearly we're seeing before via Joe Biden that you don't need to be especially articulate or intelligent to be the president of the United States. But I don't think she has the likeability either, which is important. You know, Joe Biden, while he's not my cup of tea and probably not yours, he doesn't quite great on the nerves in the same way that Kamala Harris with her ridiculous laugh does. So there's a lot of incompetency there on her behalf, which also is reflected just in how she handles herself. The kind of word salad. I mean, I know Joe doesn't make any sense either, but Kamala Harris really has just refusing, frankly, to do her job, not even going down to the actual border to tackle the issues at hand, which are spiraling out of control. We're going to begin our border series tomorrow with Brandon Judd. He is president of the border council and Marcia Blackburn also on this week. We're going to really dig in because that's the issue right now. We actually have real problems. Let's go back to New York City for a moment where they're preparing possibly for some protests. One would hope these are going to be extremely peaceful protests. I would expect nothing less of Donald Trump's supporters to try and be as peaceful as possible, and I think there's some concern about that. You got to remember that the minute anything gets out of hand, that is a photo opportunity for the left. So it's really critical right now. I think from a political perspective that the GOP managed this situation well in that they write it all the way to the bank for the injustice that's really actually happening. I mean, already you see Ron DeSantis getting on board, saying, look, this is political. It's wrong. I think everybody feels that way. We're like, oh, okay, by the way, didn't you try this before? And you've tried and tried it. Now we're going all the way back to a 2016 case because you want to be able to put the guy in handcuffs and fingerprint him. Hopefully they don't take that photo opportunity. Hopefully they manage this well enough so that it's not a big giant circus and spectacle. But again, if they do that, it is another check in the Donald Trump box. Don't forget Americans feel very cut off from the elite system that seems to be governing everything. You get Silicon Valley bank which took crazy risks in their portfolio, and yet the government comes to bail them out. However, however, the little bank, Oklahoma, or you can just forget about that. I mean, it's not clear right now as to whether the system is really there to support everyone or not. And a lot of folks are worried about this digital dollar where big brother, the big government is going to be watching every single thing that you spend. There's so much wrong with our country right now. And the fact that they're going to double down on going after Donald Trump, that's not going to sit well or play in Peoria as they say. In fact, if you look at the poll numbers, look at what happened during the FBI raid on Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago. They raided his property. And they had all kinds of cameras there to do it. And you know what happened? The next day he shot way up in the polls. Why? Because Americans, we appreciate fairness and we despise injustice and we don't like it when the system is used for political reasons. Think about the corruption in the system when it's being used to target a politician making us, as I said, no better. Than some two bit banana republic that goes after every politician depending on who's in office, so it just swings back and forth. Is that really where we want to head? I don't think so. And everyday Americans don't think so. So anyone who was tired of Trump, who was sick of Trump, well he's going to get a huge sympathy vote now. And the Democrats have none other than mister Allen Bragg to thank for that..
THE NEWS with Anthony Davis
"donald trump" Discussed on THE NEWS with Anthony Davis
"Coming up on 5 minute news. Donald Trump to be indicted in New York says report. Biden's budget frustrates Republicans raising taxes on the rich. And Mexican cartel apologizes for attack on Americans. It's Friday March 10. I'm Anthony Davis. According to The New York Times, the Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg's office has requested the disgraced former president Donald Trump to testify before a grand jury looking into a hush money payment to a pawn star during the 2016 presidential campaign, sending a clear message that an indictment against the ex-president is imminent. It's not clear if Trump will accept the offer, though it's rare for prospective defendants to testify, according to the times report, which cited for unnamed sources with knowledge of the matter. The case centers around a 100 and $30,000 payment then Trump fixer Michael Cohen made to porn star stormy Daniels in an apparent attempt to keep her from going public with details of an alleged affair she had with Trump before he ran for office. Prosecutors appear likely to argue the Trump organization illegally reimbursed Cohen the $130,000 through identifying the payment as legal expenses as falsifying business records is a misdemeanor offense in New York. They may also argue the payment was a felony violation of campaign finance law, since the cash to allegedly kill the story may have functioned as an illegal donation to help the Trump campaign, though that is the subject of legal debate. Trump's potential indictment could send shockwaves across the 2024 presidential campaign as prominent Republicans mild entering the race. It could also be the first domino to fall in what could end up being a string of criminal charges against the former president, following years of investigations and mounting legal pressures. Trump is facing a federal special counsel investigation looking into his role in staging a coup, which resulted in the storming of the U.S. capitol, and his potential mishandling of classified government records, while a Georgia special grand jury recently wrapped up a probe into Trump's efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results. Trump is also facing criminal investigations into his business practices in New York State related to alleged financial fraud. In the battleground state of Pennsylvania, where he is likely to run for reelection in 2024, president Joe Biden presented plans for increased spending and taxes on the wealthy on Thursday. Speaking as a union hall in Philadelphia, the democratic president pressed Republican rivals to be more fiscally responsible, citing proposals to reduce the U.S. deficit by over $3 trillion over ten years by raising taxes on individuals making more than $400,000. Overall, the budget would increase federal spending in the 12 months starting in October to $6.8 trillion from the 6.2 trillion expected to be spent in the current fiscal year. Biden's budget proposal faces stiff opposition from Republican lawmakers emboldened by winning control of the House of Representatives in November's midterm elections. Large parts of his agenda are unlikely to even be enacted by this Congress. The plan, however, is a political statement that directly challenges Republican House speaker Kevin McCarthy's threats to block an increase in the $31.4 trillion limit on federal borrowing unless Biden agrees to rein in federal spending. The president seeks to fund higher spending and narrowing the deficit by imposing a 25% minimum tax on billionaires and nearly doubling the capital gains tax from 20% The White House said. He also wants to quadruple a 1% stock buyback tax, potentially picking a fight with some of the investors he would need to call on to finance any reelection campaign. The measures would roll back some corporate tax breaks enacted in 2017 under Republican president Donald Trump. Suspected drug cartel members on Thursday handed over 5 purported henchmen as a would be apology for the abduction of four Americans in the border city of matamoras. The two of the Americans and a Mexican woman died after gunmen opened fire on the U.S. citizens shortly after their arrival in Matamoros on Friday. The four Americans were found on Monday on the edge of the city by which time two of them were dead. Mexican officials gave the bodies of the two dead men identified as shaid woodard and zindel Brown to U.S. officials in Matamoros on Thursday afternoon, and they were taken across the border into the U.S.. A faction of Mexico's gulf cartel was likely responsible for the kidnappings and that the gunmen may have believed that the Americans were encroaching on the gang's turf. Evidence suggested woodard and Brown had probably died from injuries they suffered during the attack by the gunmen in Matamoros on Friday. The two surviving companions returned to the U.S. earlier this week. The attorney general said on Monday the abduction of the four was likely a case of mistaken identity, but authorities have yet to clearly set out the reasons for the attack.

"Here is the most interesting passage in this piece. I'm going to read it to you. Senior officials from the Berkeley research group brief Trump then chief of staff Mark Meadows and others on the findings in a December 2020 conference call. People familiar with the matter said. Meadow showed skepticism of the findings and continued to maintain that Trump won Trump also continued to say he won the election. The call grew contentious people with knowledge of the meeting set. All right, so we've seen a lot of evidence that Trump knew this thing wasn't rigged. Every lawyer in the Justice Department besides that oatmeal brain Jeff Clark told him there was no fraud. His own campaign manager said, no fraud. And these eggheads he forked over $600,000 to again said there is no fraud. He did not care. Yeah, and so this really gets to an issue that I have flagged since the very beginning since the January 6th committee was formed, and that is that one of the elements that is underlying all of Trump's behavior is his mens Rea, right? Is his state of mind and we know that what the Trump campaign is going to put on as part of its official defense is nope. Donald Trump definitely believed the entire time that he won the election. Therefore, it can not possibly be any of the requirements in any of the criminal statutes. And I'm going to remind us really, really quickly, the ones that we're talking about, all of them have some kind of an intent requirement. Some kind of scanter requirement, some kind of, you have to do this corruptly, or you have to be, it has to be knowingly false that that's obviously a higher standard than corruptly. So why don't we take a look at the four crimes that are referred out of the January 6th committee's final report, for which they say Donald Trump should be charged. So, the first one is obstruction of an official proceeding. Again, we've talked about all of these a lot, but it's good to kind of go back. This is 18 USC 1512 C and it says, whoever corruptly otherwise obstructs influences or impedes any official proceeding or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years or both. Now, this charge has been successfully prosecuted against hundreds of the January 6th rioters, right? Anybody who actually breached the capitol got a 1512 C charge. So this is not hard to prove, but notice, right? That the predicate action is corruptly. And if Donald Trump says, hey, I actually legitimately thought that I had won by 80 billion votes. That's a plausible legal defense to having done so corruptly and you're going to have to attack that assertion that he legitimately believed that. The second crime referred out is conspiracy to defraud the U.S. 18 USC three 72. That says, if two or more persons conspire to prevent by force intimidation or threat, any person from accepting or holding any office trust or place of confidence under the United States, or from discharging any duties thereof, or to induce by like means any officer of the United States to leave the place where his duties as an officer required to be performed or to injure him in his personal property on account of his lawful discharge of the duties of his office, and wow, does it sound like this statute was written to describe what Donald Trump did to Mike Pence on January 6th? Then we're going to injure his property so as to molest interrupt him to repeat him in the discharge of his official duties. Each of such persons shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 6 years or both. And now that does not have the same level of centaur requirement doesn't say that it must be false. But it does say that you must conspire to prevent someone an official of the United States from discharging their official duties or to induce that person to not perform their two days or to leave the place where their duties are to be performed, say, by being driven by an angry mob out of the capitol where you have to preside over a joint session of Congress. All of that, again, it helps if you can also show that Trump didn't believe the stuff he was shoveling. The third crime that was referred out is conspiracy to make a false statement. That's 18 USC 1001, and that is when you knowingly and willfully falsify conceal or cover up by trick scheme or device a material fact or make any materially false fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation. And again, same analysis applies. And then we get to the big ones. The big ones are the committee referred out inciting an insurrection, 18 USC 23 83. We've broken that down on this show before. And it says, whoever incites sets on foot assists or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States where the laws thereof or give aid or comfort thereto shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years or both. And a lot of people, myself included, focused on the give aid or comfort thereto, because that does not require you to prove the inter. Requires you to say that Donald Trump, while the insurrection was going on, tweeted out words of encouragement to, you know, the goat legging wearing dude who's breaching the capitol. That's QAnon shaman. Yeah, the QAnon shaman loved that guy. Which is like to dance in our goat skin pants. Around this ancient ruin. Or let's consider the first half of that. Is this setting up that the president engaged in rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof? That is, I know the law says X, but I want to do not X anyway. So this is certainly helpful to that. And then the crime that was prosecuted against Enrique tarrio and others 18 USC 23 84 seditious conspiracy and that remains, I think, a long shot against Trump because it is the conspire to overthrow put down or destroy by force the government of the United States or to oppose by force the authority thereof or by force to prevent hinder or delay the execution of any law of the United States. And again, the challenge there is going to be showing that force component, I think, even more so than the santer component. There are no documents at this point. I have long suspected. I'm curious your thoughts on this Liz.

"And we're back. Okay, so yesterday we did a pretty deep cerebral dive on Mike Pence and the issues of executive privilege. God bless you, Andrew, because deep cerebral dive is not my brand. I fortunately I have deep dives for both of us. Okay. And I'll talk about media strategy. Okay. But over the past 5 days, there have been a bunch of important articles about special counsel Jack smith's work so far. And the one with the widest scope was published yesterday in The New York Times under the bylines of Maggie haberman Glenn thrush and Allen fewer. Those are three heavy duty reporters who cover both Trump and the courts. Parts of this story were pretty funny, particularly his passage about Trump forcing people to fish torn up documents out of the toilet, literally. You can fly with the presidential record attack. I'll read a little bit up to you. Mister Trump was known to rip up pieces of paper and to bring documents up to The White House residence. Notes taken by aides in 2018 show that mister Trump's advisers appeared to be contending with tracking documents he had brought with him to his club in bedminster, New Jersey, where he stayed over weekends during the warmer months of the year. Okay, so far so good. In some cases, mister Trump tore up documents and through them in toilets in The White House, aides would periodically retrieve what was not flushed down and let dry, and then tape it back together and pass the documents onto the status secretary whose office managed presidential paper flow, according to people familiar with what took place. Okay, so first, I want some credit for not making the beavis and butthead joke here. Good job, buddy. Seriously, thank you. I appreciate that. I want to make this super clear because we spent yesterday talking about presidential documents that bear on the national defense, right? That potentially bare national security classification classification markings. The presidential records act applies to pretty much everything the president creates. It's 44 USC 22 O two, and it says the United States, right? That is the entirety of the government, shall reserve and retain complete ownership possession and control of presidential records, and such records shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. So if you're not sure that everything that Trump put in the pot was a presidential record, we turned back to the immediately previous section. That's 22 O one that defines it. And it is broadly written. It says anything the president authors that can quote relate to or have an effect upon the carrying out of the constitutional statutory other official or ceremonial duties of the president is a presidential record. So, okay, that seems pretty broad and the only exception this is Trump saying newsroom personal records when we were in the other documents case. A purely personal record is, as you might suspect, defined incredibly narrowly. Anything of a personal nature that quote does not relate to those constitutional statutory official or ceremonial duties of the president. And then that's obviously a super tiny category, and the act itself only gives a couple of examples. And the only one that's relevant to what the president creates is the first one diaries journals and the like, right? So in other words, if Donald Trump was the sort of self reflective soul who kept a diary in the morning, I like to picture a Lisa Frank with a unicorn on the cover, you know, something like that. We're old. Sure. That would be a purely personal record. But anything else that he did, the notes that he scribbling even if their little doodles on them, even if they're half baked, even if they're not a complete. If they bear on his duties in any way, and it's tough to imagine him writing stuff that doesn't bear on his duties in some way. Then those are presidential record, right? The only other exceptions are these are just weird materials quote relating exclusively to the president's own election to the office of the presidency or to the election of a particular individual or individuals to federal state or local office. I guess has to be like written in there so that, you know, Republicans can Republicans and send personal notes and do the George H. W. Bush. We kicked all the last tonight, you know, and not have to turn them over. I don't know. I mean, I think that I think it makes sense to exempt election materials. Like the president should be able to run for reelection or stump for candidates without it becoming a presidential record. Like, I see that. That makes sense to me. Yeah. Then you'll like the third one as well, which are private political materials that have no relation to or direct effect upon the duties of the president. And yeah, so I guess that would be efforts to get reelected so long as those are not in the context of, hey, you know, we should announce this new jobs act that will probably help me get reelected. Right, or extort the foreign leader of Ukraine or something. Good, good example on that one. Okay. Right. I mean, okay, that's all well and good. And I'm so glad that you're going to cerebrally and handle this, but this is gross, right? That's just like an affront to hygiene. I mean, I can not, can you imagine being the kind of person so little interested in either the law or the needs of your own employees that you would force them to pull things out of the toilet? Like, what the hell, man? That's gross. All right, but let's leave the potty alone for a second. The time says that Smith is looking into Trump's document practices going back to his time in The White House generally. But the main flush, I mean thrust. Of this article is that the special counsel is moving fast and cutting a broad swath as he goes. Which is clear since he took the potentially drastic step of subpoenaing Mike Pence as we talked about yesterday. So the time says that Smith is going hell for leather with the goal of completing his work before the 2024 election gets into full swing, which they characterize as by the summer. And that actually strikes me as pretty odd. Why? I think you're right on that, right? It's so, you know, we have talked about a number of different things that we've talked about how the wheels of justice turn slowly. We have talked about Trump's tendency to try and run out the clock. We have talked about the thoroughness with which Jack Smith appears to be conducting this investigation, and we have talked about the underlying rules at the Department of Justice regarding ethics, right? Those rules that generally and Jim Comey put a time frame of around 90 days before or after, it strikes me as odd as well really to commit to and just to interrupt myself, those rules are bracketed by a general principle of avoiding the appearance of partiality in a presidential election. And as I've said on the show, that's not an unreasonable thing to be concerned about here, right? That's why we have special counsel Jack Smith to begin with because the attorney general was appointed by the guy, Joe Biden, who will be running again for president and who probably stands to benefit politically from Donald Trump, you know, having really negative things come out about him. So, like, this is not an abstract concern, but I'm shocked that a career kind of by the numbers prosecutor would try and confine himself to a couple of months time frame. That just that feels as weird to me as it does to you. Right.

"Court of Appeals finds that Trump was acting within the scope of his presidential duties when he called Carol a liar because like we talked about last week. The government has not waved sub were an immunity for defamation. So if Trump succeeds in substituting the government is defendant, there'll be no more Carol one. If you fails, the cases will likely be combined and heard together in April. And we should know the answer to that question in a couple of weeks. So I just want to make sure that I completely understand the first case that was filed. What you're calling Carol one is the defamation suit from 2019. That began in state court, Alina haba is still the lawyer of record on that. And that was removed to federal court when Trump was president by Bill Barr who substituted in under the westfall act and said, this is within the scope of presidential duties. And that case, we're just waiting on an imminent ruling from the D.C. circuit, right? Correct. Correct. I know I get so excited about it because I've been covering it forever. Yeah, no, I know. I just want to make sure that I've got them straight in my mind. And then Carol two has two elements to it. The first is the New York adult survivors act, which allowed her to bring a battery claim against Donald Trump, even though the statute of limitations had expired. And the additional and unbelievable act, well, I'm saying unbelievable. It's Donald Trump. The fact that Donald Trump out of office as president went on truth social and reiterated all the prior things that he'd said said them again in a different forum, preface them with no I shouldn't be saying this, but so you have that. Okay, great. And I think analysis on the civil procedure aspect of this is a 100% correct that what would happen is if Carol one goes forward. If the D.C. circuit says, hey, presidents are on the job a lot, but when they are talking about and answering questions about case from 30 years prior to them entering office that has nothing to do with their presidential duties, they're not on duty at that time. If that happens, Carol one goes forward and the cases get combined because they all arise out of the same common nucleus of operative effects. Correct. I get that right, yeah, great. And what you were talking about what a terrible witness he was. One of the ways that Trump was a terrible witness was that he admitted that he had not researched any of the claims that he made about her. So when he said that her book was terrible, he hadn't read it. When he said that she was being paid by Democrats, he had no basis for that claim. When he said that she falsely accused other men, he had no basis for that claim either. So he did not, he was not making an official presidential statement. He was striking back. And he pretty clearly admitted that under oath, the last. And also, those are not great answers when it comes to the standard of proving defamation, right? Saying, so what factual basis did you have for any of this none? Okay. You do you, but that's not a great way to resist a defamation claim. Okay, so back to taka Pena is now in Carol two. Right, but he's only representing Trump in that second sexual battery case and the defamation. Haba is still around. She's on Carol one and she's still doing her best to keep judge Lewis Kaplan good and mad, which is her superpower, pissing off judges. Talk a penis seems, though, that he might be ready to pick up right where hava left off because about 5 minutes after the hearing last week when Trump's new lawyer promised no more dilatory tactics. Jose Paul garri from The Daily Beast published a story citing quote a source familiar with his defense team's new strategy, who said that Trump was at long last now that discovery has already been completed willing to provide his DNA to Carol. So here we are, like, 9 weeks before the trial, and he's ready to, he's ready for that cheek swap. So poly wrote, Trump's been that proposition has not yet been made to the opposing side, but if they follow through, it would position them to tell jurors his DNA was offered just never trusted, which is a cool trick, huh? Yeah, so let's and I know you're going to break this down in more detail. But you can 100% infer bad faith here. The parties understand that discovery has closed, right? And so when discovery has closed what that means is you can't ask additional documents. You can't ask additional interrogatories. You can't follow up on anything. You can't take additional depositions. So remember I said put a pin in that Alina hop a chain of custody thing? If Donald Trump were to turn over his cheek swab DNA to aging Carroll, think about what she would have to do with it, right? She'd have to have an expert match it up against the DNA that's on the dress. That expert would have to prepare a report. You would want to know how did you want to depose the custodial witness, right? The custodian of Trump's cheek swab, right? To make sure that I don't know, he didn't go down and like get Don Junior Tiffany to stick him in. There's a ton of things that there's a reason why this stuff is exchanged during discovery because you can put the person under oath and you can ask them a question and deposition of, sir, did you submit to this? Is this your sample? Did you have your cheek swabbed? And that not only authenticates the document right now or here in this case authenticates the record, the actual DNA itself. But it gives you the opportunity to probe for, I don't know. Have they done something squarely about it, right? And none of that can happen. And so you know you know with ironclad certainty as a lawyer when you make that offer that the other side is like,

"Obviously we should just pause to say that like this is why is a giant lie but nevertheless this found purchase because it was so aggressively cultivated by people like donald trump who as every new yorker particularly of my age knows has played this casually violent native ism for his entire public career and make sure as well that he's present at these moments of eruption he's present for instance went in two thousand ten a new york city mom and his wife his business partners try and set up a community center near ground zero where one had already been an actual muslim place of worship right there. This is not foreign to new york city. This is these are new yorkers. They set up something that they see as a muslim equivalent of the ninety second street. Y which is like. It's a jewish space that plays an important role in the intellectual life of new york city. Generally and this gets converted with. Donald trump is as a leading carnival barker endangering people's lives into the so called ground zero mosque which viewed and portrayed actively by islamophobic bigots exploiting the pain of nine eleven as the equivalent of the second turning highest afia into a mosque after conquering constantinople. In fourteen fifty three and all throughout the obama presidency with things like the cultivated assaults in various state legislatures around the country against so called sharia law that was exactly the kind of eruption of native ism that we would later see on the streets of charlotte. Because what it saying is that they are replacing you. They're replacing your culture. Your values your tradition and ultimately your place in the american racial caste that while it doesn't guarantee you this is supposed to provide you with a level of material comfort that lets you and not others live in dignity over time.

"I mean, there's certainly worth more than I would have expected There Were Ten Thousand or fifteen thousand people there total not all of them stormed the capital not all of them went into the buildings. But for now we can add for two weeks. We've seen those images and you know what that does, right? So we all all of us now think that half of this country is ready to burn it down and that's not really true. Yeah, even though yes, Donald Trump got 70 million seventy million people aren't trying to storm the capital and burn it down. And so those that strong I didn't think that that's what's happening is we're getting the people have been given an a megaphone and they're using it and we're and it's kind of scaring the Daylights out of everyone else. That's what I'm thinking. Whoever shouts loudest gets the strongest emotional response and they're so they're they're they're laid learned how to use this forum to do it. And there's no because there's no control on the forms of social media. It's it actually there are algorithms amplify those kind of things is good for think that people are loyal to Donald Trump birth. They loyal to this community that has sort of evolved or revolved around him. I think there's I think this community is and again, I I don't mean to disparage them by a but but this there's a lot of people who I don't buy in the notion that they've been left behind I think in a lot of cases they left themselves back and I did this this quick study once when I was I was just kind of frustrated by people saying, you know, they haven't had opportunity. They haven't had Economic Opportunity. They haven't had educational opportunity. And so I took a really palm area was in Kentucky and it just could put a pin in the map and I did a one-hour radius radius around the pin and found that there were like forty geologists. And we're everything from from trade schools to community college has it meant that they could have gone to school. Yeah, they just chose not to yeah. Yeah, and so I am I'm not going to keep apologizing for people because we feel like we didn't have an opportunity. There's lots of people that that and that's not to say that that schools aren't shouldn't be more affordable. They should be been it's outrageous off. The cost of education is outrageous that we can look at what's happening in society in terms of the Gap that's growing cuz it is it's real and it's causing a lot of this this to happen this uneasiness to happen, but I think in terms of how communities actually form this really isn't any different than the things that are traditionally called called synthetic people that tend to get a little lost in their life and they find things that they rally around that don't even make much sense anymore. So one of the groups for example were let's take two groups that are that are part of the storm and capital group the month. Followers you could take the proud boys as one group or basically white nationalist, right?.

"Gets changed over time and over a depending on where we are and who were with and what we're learning and so when cultures change then our ideas of things like trust change our ideas of what's right and what's wrong changes ideas of of what's appropriate and what's not changes. And in some cases people want to reject that they're afraid of that change. They think that change is something that becomes unfamiliar. It's like it's like asking someone to walk in the door when you don't know what's on the other side of that right. So it's it's really. It's hard to imagine that that everything you knew everything you learn is going to be different And so some people are reacting to the changes of society in a way that makes them afraid. They don't want to start questioning their religious faith because of something they grew up believing now everyone is telling them no. That's okay so when you get rid of it we could talk. I could talk about social constructivism all day long. I love the topic And for sure we create the reality that we're in and what's happening around us creates you know the the What we see what we choose to see and how we interpret. The world affects emotional experience. What do you think is happening in our society. What's going on in our communities. What's going on in our world. What are we seeing. They is creating this. What seems to be an increased need for the sense of purpose or a sense of belonging that that donald trump has seems to have attracted or amassed. Unless i'm wrong but it certainly seems to be the case. What's going on in our society that's causing that. Yeah so this is Look i i think again. I think my my feeling is that These are not new things. I think the only thing that has happened is that the voices have been amplified. And quite frankly. I i do believe that we have a distorted of how broad it actually is..

"Somehow you and I are alike and or and so you do this with your friends or or that the people and it's not just about interest because being a like made mean you share the same values you could share the same spiritual beliefs. You could share the same history. You can be the same age has lots of reasons where our brain has his way of kind of figuring out. Okay, do we have enough things that we can change that? You're going to make my life easier because you understand me because you're like me. That's why we search for it right in the family therapy will not to interrupt you and I did interrupt you, but in the family therapy world, we call a tournament, right? So the process of developing trust with your partner in that process, you're learning things about each other that nobody else knows and then you're applying that knowledge to to make the other person feel better to feel feel safer with you. So in a lot of ways, that's a big piece of relationship development in a marriage as well. No, exactly. And and so that's the one piece that I would add to that that is that has kind of extends out into the kind of biological and chemical and physical world is that The reason connections occur is not just to become more secure and more stable. It's to be more efficient as well and burning less energy. Right? And so if you apply that to to humor relationships in addition to the things that you just described there's another reason why that we don't often think about which is my life is easier. If you want the more you understand me back is now you can anticipate what I need. You can take care of things that I need. You can do things for me. I burn less energy. I use less I know don't have to think as much if I have someone doing it with me, And so this connection is not just about do you make my life safer? It's about do you make my life easier as well? And so when identity becomes a part of that when you find these kind of commonalities or these things that that we share together then I think well, you can make my life easier cuz you get me you understand that you are saying the things that I can't say or that I don't I can't articulate very well. You're doing the things that I don't do very well. Well, we not only identify with people that are like us we identify people with that. We aspire to be like as well. Okay is why we have Heroes it's why we have people is why you turn into some people turn in and watch reality television it what celebrities have in terms of an advantage where people seem them in the edited version the bigger than life version and so on all of a sudden we because we think that that's who they are and Donald Trump or forty years fitted from that. Absolutely. He had an audience that just saw one side in a side that he deliberately created over and over and over again and while it's being peeled back it's hard to give up on it. When when you start thinking that that's no one wants to believe that they were fooled, right? You don't want to think that somehow you were Hoodwinked for forty years. I don't believe that no you're wrong. He is Rich or he is this or is that and so all of a sudden he he had this reputation and he had credibility that came not just from his own boasting home. He was on Oprah Winfrey Show forever of several times where she always asked him. Are you going to run for president?.

So let's first talk a little bit about what loyalty is and and you've talked about this many times in a lot of interviews out there a lot of information out there that people can refer to but let's recap what loyalty is and then if you don't mind let's jump into how this might apply to log. Loyalty to Donald Trump. So what is loyalty? So I think I think where the answers are going to be really interconnected wage is I think that most people have a a a misunderstanding about what loyalty actually is and what what motivates people to become loyal if that's if that even is the description that can be used but Latinas most basic sense is simply a relationship type. It's just we have all sorts of relationships in our lives and obviously you see them and and hear about them all the time but we all know that we have if you can imagine inside of our inside of our mind we have this kind of spectrum that goes all the way from hate on one side to love on the other if you think about it in our personal lives, right? So we there are people in our lives that we never want to see you or that cord that maybe have some hateful feelings towards us off. Way up to two people that we love that were in love with and then all sorts of kinds of different types of relationships the fall in between there and that isn't surprising or won't be surprising to any of your listeners to know that but none of us ever think about how they end up on that spectrum and why they move up and down it right? Why don't they just why don't they just end up in the center page where relationships are simply transactional where there's nothing more than you do something for me..

So that's really what i've been doing during this time. Well and that makes sense and so of course. it's what i want to focus on a little bit today. Which i suspect is what you've been thinking a lot about lately. A lot is happening here in our political world in our socio political world Of course i watched the events at the capitol unfold It was it was rather concerning to me. And you know normally in my work as a therapist most certainly and even here on the podcast tried to separate myself a little bit from political discussions. And i don't take too. Many stances tends to make enemies. It's bad for business. You know sure. But here. In this case and i mentioned this to you in in my email before the show i am not happy at all about what happened at the capitol and i there's a you know a very big part of me that knows that the development of those events. It's been in the works for a very long time so i wanna talk about you. Know why people have committed themselves ideologically to things that that'll trump represents when that may have started you know he's been around for a long time as a public figure and what's happening right up through today. Read up through the you know the events of tomorrow. I want to talk about where you know how people develop this loyalty and how and how it works for them. So let's first talk a little bit about what loyalty is an and you've talked about this. Many times is lot of interviews out there. A lot of information out there that people can refer to but let's recap what loyalty is and then if you don't mind. Let's jump into how this might apply to loyalty to donald trump. what is loyalty. so i think I think we're the answers are going to be really interconnected.
