Can a Local or State Prosecutor Indict a Sitting President?
"Can a local or state prosecutor indict a sitting president of the United States He's sitting president of the United States can the be indicted by a local or state prosecutor Well it's never been done before And we live in the world of never been done before until the Democrats do it We've never had a former president who's also the leader of the Republican PAC Indicted before by lower court excuse me by a local prosecutor Everybody seems to think that's constitutional Okay fine Can you indict a sitting president Well most smart people who understand these issues say no That's been the position of the office of legal counsel for half a century or more and with multiple presidents in office of both parties And I think that's right even though it's never been tested But the question that I don't think is ever even been asked Is whether a local prosecutor can indict a sitting president Now let me explain why it's a little different than a federal prosecutor Some of you who listen to this program regularly will already know It's not a separation of powers issue We're not talking about one branch of the federal government Taking out another branch the federal government You know the argument and I think it's very sensible is that if you indict a sitting president the U.S. attorney does remain justice Then they basically have crippled The executive branch

"Like what? What show might people remember? Chase Brandon was heavily involved in the show alias starring Jennifer Garner, and actually Jennifer Garner agreed to do a recruitment video for the CIA in 2003. In the real world, the CIA serves as our country's first line of defense in the ongoing war against international terrorism. But since the tragic events of 9 11, the CIA has an even stronger need for creative, innovative, flexible men and women from diverse backgrounds with a broad range of perspectives. Right now, the CIA has important exciting jobs for U.S. citizens. So it's fair to say that when we get to say 2002 to 2017, the CIA's biggest problem was damage control after some of its torture methods were exposed by journalists in the years after 9 11. Correct? Yeah, so this was very damaging for the CIA revelations about so called enhanced interrogation techniques such as waterboarding and the CIA really went on the defensive in terms of those accusations, they were determined to control as much as possible the script for zero dark 30. They invite the screenwriter and the director to the CIA, and they are trying to convince the screenwriter Mark bowl that these tactics, although unpleasant, that they were successful in leading the CIA to Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan. And this was reflected in the film. There is no question if you watch zero dark 30, you see pretty clearly the evidence of CIA involvement in trying to shape that narrative. It's pretty terrifying. They begin with some of the 9-1-1 calls from September 11th. And the floor is completely engulfed. People calling 9-1-1 frantically from the twin towers, and then immediately after that, you hear a metal door slam. And you are taken inside one of these CIA secret prisons. And it's very interesting what they're setting up. They're trying to really get the audience on the side of the CIA interrogators. If you don't look at me when I talk to you, I hurt you. You step off this mad I hurt you. If you lied. This argument put forward in zero dark 30, the idea that torture leads the CIA to bin Laden. I simply not supported by the historical record. And unfortunately, many of those records are still classified. We only have the executive summary of that Senate report on interrogation. It remains to be seen whether that full report will ever be released. I'm very skeptical of that. During the same period when they were dealing with the exposure of torture through Hollywood, the CIA was also trying to influence reporters, I think that was a less successful operation. You write about an expose that ran on the front page of The Washington Post in 2005 that revealed details of the agency's foreign prisons. And so then they moved on to the strategy of countering the narrative by helping to edit and release memoirs from former agents. It's a book right on my bookshelf here, Jose Iraq. Hard measures is the name of the book. He is making the argument that these techniques are very unpleasant and very brutal, but they are necessary. But what we now know from the Senate investigation, Rodriguez, who was not telling the whole truth in that book hard measures, he was presenting a very misleading account of those techniques. So what was the response to his memoir? Did it change congressional or public opinion on CIA's practices? When you did it work well, his book became a bestseller. It's always hard to gauge how these books shape opinion, but there's no question this was a bestseller. You definitely see the influence of Jose Rodriguez's argument in the movie zero dark 30. There is no question about that. But ultimately, did people pick up on the fact that the CIA was rewriting its history in this way? Oh, I think some people were fully aware of what they were trying to do, but I mean, I think given the popularity of zero dark 30, many people who watched that film and did not read the accounts in The New York Times about the Senate investigation, most people are left with the impression that these techniques were totally effective. In terms of the backlash against zero dark 30, I had politicians are really, really critical of that movie, saying that this is not reflecting the actual historical record. And also, it's a worth pointing out that Jose Rodriguez, he destroys all of the videotapes depicting these interrogation sessions. The CIA attorney had instructed him not to do that. So in direct violation of the CIA's office of legal counsel, Jose Rodriguez puts all of these videotapes through the shredder and therefore we're never going to see actually what those sessions look like in those secret CIA prisons. How do you think the CIA looks broadly overall in the public eye as a result of these PR efforts? It seems to me that the CIA has repaired much of the damage that was done in the 1970s as a result of the intelligence. Americans are still distrustful of the intelligence community. There's no question about that at all. But even though there is this level of distrust, Americans have really bought into the mystique of the CIA, especially in the aftermath of 9 11. And there's no question that popular culture has played a role. How about now? I think I understand what happened in the media specially entertainment media and how effective it was after 9 11. But we have entered into a kind of profound suspicion of all government institutions. I mean, not just the Congress, which usually ranks pretty low, but the Supreme Court. Right. And surely the CIA has been affected by that. It's true that these initiatives have helped the CIA guard against the situation becoming even worse in terms of how they are perceived by the American people. I'm not saying that these are perfect victories for the CIA. That's not true, but they are basically giving the message to people that the CIA is there for national security. That they may not always engage in activities that are pleasant, per se, but they are necessary in terms of confronting the terrorist threat, for example. So let's end on the stakes. You wrote that quote, the CIA has implemented a public relations strategy that directly threatens American democracy.

"And one of the things I want to point out here, she says, the special master order reveals Biden's direct involvement in Trump rate in 6 other bombshells. But let's look at the first bombshell because this wasn't pointed out by Bill Barr or the legal analysts on television. And she points out, following the archives outreach to the Justice Department, the archives notified Trump on April 12th, he intended to provide the 15 boxes to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Trump's attorney sort of delay in the transfer to assess whether any documents contained privileged material. But then, as judge cannon wrote, after obtaining a short delay on May 10, 2022, the archives informed Trump at what proceed with quote providing the FBI access to the records in question as requested by the incumbent president, beginning as early as Thursday, may 12th. As requested by the incumbent president, and including this quote in her order, judge cannon cited the letter the archives acting archivist sent to Trump's lawyers. That letter explained that Biden had decided to defer to the archivists determination and consultation with the assistant attorney general for the office of legal counsel. Regarding whether or not the archivist should uphold the former president's purported protective assertion of executive privilege. Acting archivist Deborah steidel wall then explained in a letter that based on her consultation, with the assistant attorney general for the office of legal counsel, she decided not to honor Trump's claim of privilege. So there you have Biden himself, the attorney general himself has said that he authorized the search warrant and Barr doesn't mention any of this today. Neither do the other legal analysts. And while the media has highlighted those aspects of the letter, Monday's order highlighted a key sentence in the same letter that went less noticed by the press. The archives will provide the FBI access to the records in question it says, as requested by the incumbent president, beginning as early as Thursday, May 1220 22. Did they lie in that letter? Did they lie? Language indicates Biden not merely deferred to the archives, but asked the archives. To give the documents to the FBI. Now, of course, deferring to the archives judgment equated to Biden authorizing the handoff to the FBI. But this passage suggests in more direct connection between Biden and the investigation into Trump. How do you like that? Oh my goodness, who would have thought? And yet we're supposed to jump up and down. In shock and disgust, that this judge ordered a special master to review documents. How can that be standing? Let us stupid argument. Equity. Yeah, what's the problem? Does she have one another stupid argument? There is only a few attorney client privilege who says the government, one another stupid argument. There is no executive privilege. It's too early. What another stupid argument? So stupid is what we get. And I don't know what these people are getting paid. I don't know. It was Barr just showing up for free maybe he is. But free is too much. I'll be right back. Months

Rep. Dan Crenshaw Clarifies His Position Following a Controversial Social Media Clip
"And back talking to Dan Crenshaw, congressman representing Texas second congressional district. Dad in a second episode that was kind of bandied about social media. A guy stands up and town hall and basically says, what can you do to help the January 6th protester is? And you made two points. You said one we're in the minority, so there are limits to what we can do. But I think the second point is what I want to ask you about. You said that taking some ball like action kind of like showing up in solidarity with those guys. You said doesn't really help them. It's maybe a photo op for me, but what does it do for those guys? In fact, they may even be retaliation and arguably those guys could be put into lockdown because of the public visibility and so on. The question I kind of wanted to ask you is a, do you sort of stand by those remarks and be what if the guys who are on the inside said, you know what? We'll take the heat. We want Dan Crenshaw to calm down here and at least make a presence on our behalf at least assert publicly the idea that there is mistreatment going on. There are people who are being held. Their trials are being put off for long periods of time, address the January 6th issue the way you feel about it now. In the context of what you were asked about in the town meeting. Yes, there's a couple things. There's based on the allegations and the evidence we've seen or heard about, there's no question there's some mistreatment going on. And it appears to be a very broad problem throughout our jailing system, our prison system. So that seems to be a fact. But I do stand by those answers in a recent judiciary committee hearing the witnesses testify that after those congressional visits, things got worse. So it does appear to be the case that things will get worse when the wrong kind of attention is drawn to this. Now, I've been through this before. This question with this question of what Congress should do, what kind of influence we should exert. To get the outcome we wanted. If you remember the navy seal, Eddie Gallagher. He was in squalid conditions as well. He was being treated unfairly, treated as if he was guilty until proven innocent. And there was a discussion in Congress about what kind of letter to write to the DoD to get this on the president's radar. Is at the time the president was Trump. So we had an ally in the administration. That's another. That's another thing that's different now. And there is my side of it, which said, look, we've talked to legal counsel. We believe that this approach is the right one because it might actually have an outcome. It might actually have some kind of benefit. And then there's this other letter that Gallagher family wanted and that some members of Congress wanted, which was really just performative. It was really just a shot in the dark that had no real legal teeth to it that had no real arguments to it. And what has been ignored. But it sounded better. And so the question is do we want to sound good or do good? That's the

"Torture in two thousand fourteen. The senate select committee on intelligence released an executive summary office report on the cia rendition detention interrogation. I'm it basically mopped up. The united states and the cia specifically development of this torture program invites report there was an onyx onyx as as list of men who were ncaa custody on who were tortured by the a while in custody on that lists were the names of muhammed's sued lamon adela salim. I'm gourock man on through my work. Over the years. I actually had contacts with those three unnaturally had contacts many the others that were in that list and we thought that here's the bus ability to bring a case for ability on behalf of some of those men who had been tortured by the cia pursuant to its program. And i wanna talk a lot more about our clients. But i i wanna give listeners just a little more background on mitchell and jason you know how to psychologists become involved in the architecture the implementation and also the evaluation of a torture program. How did that happen. I think it was incompetence within the cia. As i mentioned the i didn't they didn't know anything about interrogation. It didn't know about the means of gathering intelligence interrogation. They never been an interrogation business until september. The eleventh and mitchell was consultant so the cia cia contractor and jackson. He was in the us military and then transferred across to the cia after nine. Eleven to actually assist mitchell in the as interrogation program. It's designed on its development. The whole theory of interrogation was that you break down. The resistance of the person you're interrogating by applying these cumulative lee inhumane tactics to collect completely break down their resistance and you did that by torturing them or by g saying in them. A state of learned helplessness. Where all you could do is comply with the interrogators demands for information that that was their junk science theory. Stephen how in the world did the bush administration justify a program that violated not only international in. Us prohibitions on torture but also the nuremberg code. Which was in place since. Nineteen forty seven in the wake of world war two and bans nonconsensual human experimentation which this seems like one hundred percent nonconsensual human experimentation and short molly. They had government lawyers redefine torture. And what it what. It means to torture There's a famous legal memo authored by john. You who was then at the office of legal counsel which define torture if existence that had to be the type of conduct that would cause Here organ failure or near death on if didn't rise to that level and it wasn't torture there's a whole series of week now. Call them the torture. Memos that doing just that basically authorizing these techniques and then they were signed off at the highest levels of government including the methodology in the way that the the applied them. That was all considered above board on it was within the law and so as we turn to our clients. This is the groundwork just to review. Torture has been basically renamed into something that is not torture does not sound like torture and that has been signed off on at the highest possible levels and that is the ground that is laid as we turn to sue lamont muhammed and gourock man. We obviously can talk to gourock mom because he's dead is nephew So can you tell us about our clients. What reason did the cia give for their detention. And what is their story up until the point that you met them. Let's start with suleiman. How did the us come to detain suleyman so so woman was detained in march.

"Joe biden is expected to announce a vaccine mandate for federal workers. Skilled live alive announcement. That's the expectation in. How did we get here. These gene therapy vaccine products still under emergency use authorization. Well what he did was his administration. did i was. They went to the department of justice's office of legal counsel and they had that Council give an opinion on the coming mandates to give give the vita ministration legal cover. This is what the headline looked at was at a fox news for the doj announcement doj declares vaccine mandates legal now of the va. California and new york are to require some or all government employees get vaccinated or tested weekly and so that was a shock for a lot of people because again this is an emergency use authorization product and indian. It'll of an experiment. Right and experiment. On arguably the largest body of human beings that have ever been injected with an experimental product and never been in a human being before a product that you know when we talk about krona virus vaccines killed and maimed animals in virtually every single trial of every attempt at a vaccine for corona virus over the last twenty years so To think that this is now going to be forced on the largest employment group in our nation right when we look at government agencies This is incredible. But the i was under the impression that the fda clearly said everybody deserves informed consent especially during an emergency use authorization because this product is not been licensed to approve for safety. So what does how does governor justice come to. What did they say. They basically said that this thing it they said that it will be can't be mandated. There is no legal requirements that can't be mandated but that's not exactly true health and human services. The united states under health and human services has legal code.

"The the reason we know about this stuff is at the department itself. Now under new leadership turned over these notes to the house of representatives government oversight committee. I think it will also be shared with the senate judiciary committee and that's significant for a number of reasons. They made a determination that they were not going to assert executive privilege or any other kind of privilege over these notes which is sometimes expect. Institutionally in garland has shown his proclivity for this that they would do that. Institutionally to protect disclosures in the future and to protect their own internal communications and internal no taking et cetera. They seem to come to the conclusion that this stuff was outside of the president's role as president and was undertaken in his personal capacity as a candidate for president in that removes its protection have significant that. So i think it's really significant because as we know the office of white house counsel the office of legal counsel in doj these folks take protecting their institutions very seriously. And even as you point out. Merrick garland has been very clear that he's interested in restoring doj and in in holding the institution above the political fray. So it says a lot. It says a lot about what they believe. The seriousness of this conduct is that they've disclosed the notes. One interesting aspect though. And i wonder what you think about this. I've really been thinking about it for the last day or so. One interesting aspect of leading former trump era officials. Testify is ollie north. Problem right once you testify about something in a compelled situation like that you can't be prosecuted and and for most of these folks that's not really an issue. I mean rosen and donohue. Whatever you may think of their decision not to come forward certainly weren't complicit but at least in the case of one of the people who they've now given permission to testify to jeffrey bossard clark. There's an indication that he had conversations with trump about pursuing the big lie using the justice department. So you can read those signals. A couple of different ways you can get to the issue of whether or not anybody will be criminally prosecuted for this particular set of events in conversation. Certainly as you say. The acting attorney general in the acting deputy attorney general. I don't think are in any criminal jeopardy. I don't know that the president is either. I was asked the question recently. Would this be an impeachable offense. I think if circumstances were different and trump are still in office and he hadn't already been unsuccessfully tried in the senate on two different impeachments is would absolutely be impeachment material using your justice department to try to win. An election is just beyond the pale and we can talk about potential criminal exposure. I don't i don't really see it here. But more importantly. I don't really see an appetite for bringing in a bit of an aggressive case legally on these facts..

Supreme Court to Hear Appeal of Ruling That Overturned Boston Marathon Bomber's Death Sentence
"Radio boston. I'm donna deering and we start today with another major development in the country's largest drug lab scandal suffolk. County district attorney. Rachel rollins says that her office could vacate up to tens of thousands more criminal convictions. That were based on drug evidence tested at the now closed hinton lab. Wbu our senior correspondent. Deborah becker is reporting on the story. Deb joins us now dead. Welcome back to radio boston. Thanks for having me so deb. D. rollins is proposing to vacate any drug convictions based on results. From the hinton lab from may two thousand three to august two thousand twelve why that nine year time window will. That was the time period when two chemists worked at the hinton lab at the same time. Any dukan and sony ferrick you may remember. Both women were convicted on charges of tampering. With the drug evidence they were supposed to be testing fair conviction though stemmed from her work at the state lab in amherst but both women worked at the hinton lab. At one time. Eric worked there before she went to amherst. Rollin says what's needed is a more thorough review of all the drugs certifications that came from the hinton lab wild. Both women were working there. She calls the drug lab scandal. Systemic misconduct and a catastrophic failure of management that she says needs a complete review so all the testing done at that lab during that time should be looked at and we should point out that after both chemists were convicted tens of thousands of criminal drug convict. Convictions were dismissed because of their misconduct. We're talking about more. Give us a sense of scale here. Deb how many people might this effect will will. There's no precise number but rollins office says is that the hinton lab certified almost eighty three thousand drug samples for evidence during that time and that was in suffolk county and the massachusetts supreme judicial court which has reviewed various challenges and calls for a way to deal with all of the cases in both labs has vacated thousands of convictions based on the testing and hidden lab alone about eight thousand from hinton so the remaining seventy four thousand drug certifications that rollins talking about from suffolk county. She says her office is going to review all of those and they could be part of what she says is a global resolution to deal with these cases once and for all and thousands more convictions could be erased. But there's no exact number because one drug certification could have several drug certifications could have been done for one case so. The exact number is unclear. Got it got it. But it's it's a lot to review. So how does it work are they. Are they essentially starting deb with the assumption that all the convictions must be vacated and then working backward from there as they review the cases. How are they gonna do this well. She says she's going to convene robin says. She's going to convene a summit next month with the defense bar to start this review look at every affected case all the drugs certifications and determine next steps and she says any relief in what she's calling her hinton lab initiative is only for controlled substances convictions. And if someone was charged with something else along with drug use or possession or whatever the drug charges may have been those charges withstand this would only be drug charges in a particular case and then after that they would look at expunging records. If need be it would be a very lengthy complicated process. So our defense attorneys reacting to this well The aclu the american civil liberties union of massachusetts which was the agency really primarily involved in fighting with the s sjc to try to get some sort of resolution for many of these cases that were based on evidence tested at the hinton lab and at the amherst lab. It says it is. It's pleased that rollins has done. This here is matt siegel whose legal counsel for the aclu of massachusetts certainly would our preference and the preference of the public defenders are law firm partners for all of these cases have been dismissed when we first started calling for that step in twenty twelve. There's a saying about the arch of justice and At this point were very glad that seems to be bending in the right direction. I think as referring there to the you know the arc of the moral universals long but it bends toward justice but regardless also the State criminal defender agency. The committee for public counsel services released a statement after They heard about rachel rollins initiative the hidden lab and it also said that. It's pleased that this is happening. And it hopes that other district attorneys will do the same. So will they deb. Do you think we'll other. Da's follow suit. And i guess. I'm wondering if somehow this forces their hands if they have to. Now i don't think anyone necessarily

"Couple of years and will continue that conversation. You were involved in the Covington Catholic students case. What did you learn from that about how big media works and maybe their intentions? Only this last Monday, actually. I filed a petition for CERT with the United States Supreme Court to hold Elizabeth Warren and Deborah Jalan who's now the interior secretary, or soon to be responsible for what they did to the Covington kids, because quite extraordinarily They took the position that election to Congress is a licensed to libel on anybody anywhere. Any place any time doesn't matter if they spoke with in the halls of Congress, it doesn't matter if they're speech is covered by the speech and immunities clause. It doesn't matter if they're talking to a constituent. It doesn't matter if they're responding to a question from the press or from a constituent, they can use their leverage of their social media platforms. Who deliberately go out and gratuitously involuntarily smear Bunch of kids lead a social media lynch mob against a bunch of private minor set of private citizens, minor Children from a small town in Kentucky based on lies and believe they are completely Beyond the reach of the law completely above the law to do so. So it was, so that's one and the goal is to get the Supreme Court to recognize that is not the case or if they choose not to make remedy to get Congress to change. The law used this case to do so, because election to Congress should not be a licensed to libel. What it shows is in one of the bodies. The other cases against all the media personality is still pending in state court in Kentucky were various motions are pending. It's the degree of arrogance because if you looked at those I've represented on the Covington side of the aisle where the kids who wanted to stay anonymous. They weren't looking for fame. They weren't looking for fortune. They only sued if the people refused to retract her correct for six months, So I mean, these are people that in the people that were sued were people that were given six months to issue a retraction issue. A correction issue a clarification. They all refused. They double down and triple down on their lives and libels knowing they were lies in libels six months later and soon because there has to be some degree of disciplining these individuals, some degree of remedy available for people around the country. Goes to prevent them from occurring in the future and the fact that they still have refused to resolve the case that they would rather spend millions of dollars collectively in legal fees. Then simply admit what they did was wrong gives you a sense of the scope and scale of their arrogance. And it's why I took the case for free when I took it, because historically Defamation cases. They're so costly that you could always screw over poor and working class in ordinary people because they can't afford a legal counsel to fight back, and the goal was to sort of play equalizer and balance out that equation, at least for the Covington kids. Hope it makes a difference down the road for everybody else when Alex Jones was kicked off of social media, Ah, lot of folks simply said, Well, at least it wasn't me Act I can hide. You took that case. And now what we're seeing is my argument at the time you don't have to like Alex Jones. If they can kick him off tomorrow, they can kick you off in the next day. The president your involvement in that Alex Jones case and what it taught you? Oh, yeah. You're absolutely correct. I was telling people from day one that Alex Jones was the template at both in terms of law fair and in terms of big attack, they were going to use him to see what they could get away with what they could get people to accept. What they could get courts to tolerate what they could get Politicians to embrace and it was never going to end with Alex Jones and it sooner or later, we were all going to be Alex Jones and one place or one shape or a way or another. Oh, and there's affect the case because they feel this is a guy who had never really been to in 25 years and being in talk radio and on the Internet and Trump wins and within a year, trump winning. He faces 17 lawsuits from more than 50 collective individuals and institutions across the country in less than nine months, and I told people Does anyone really think that's a coincidence? A being sued by people who never complained to him before, at the time in which they're complaining about whatever the incident Woz so he had. He's facing all of that on slot and then that lost there was used as the pretext To do the big take on Fuck. They used outcomes in the case usually just motions and what not to say. Oh, we just can't have this person on our platform and the it was always good and they were gonna use it is well, let's see what happens to the courts Pushback Does. Congress pushed back the state legislators? Pushback does the public pushback and none of those things happen in the meaningful scale? Because he's Alex Jones because he's controversial because he's outside of the establishment and he's outside of the protected political class. And they, of course, used it in the road map for what they were going to do to the president, United States and what they're gonna do to everybody else anytime they wanted. I mean, the kicked off a lawyer who just comments on cases or they de monetized this channel just yesterday on YouTube. And they only grounds was that he covered controversial topics. It's clearly the cases. It's his particular political take on those topics because they promote another lawyer who only covers controversial topics. But he comes in the left. So it's about out algorithmic manipulation is well, censorship and suppression. The great utility to Jones is the reason why I joined the case legally was trying to find a way to fight back. Cases are pending before range of courts. One of his cases is likely maybe two of them likely to go up to the United States Supreme Court this year to determine whether this kind of law fair can take place because They're trying to expand Law fair to dilute the First Amendment to say that you do not have free press and you do not have free speech. If anything you say, offends a group of people within a zone of emotional harm. Which, of course, would allow anybody to be sued anywhere anyplace anytime without any First Amendment protection anymore, But because the courts are so political In the legal class. It's so political to the left. In both cases, they know that it would be selectively utilized against ordinary against dissident forms of media. So there's that part of his case and then the big tech part of this case. Where would he did is he learned to fight? We figured out ways to contractually fight. Well, you know, we were able to prevent a partner type situation because we I was able to help him on that side of the scale by threatening various kinds of litigation, and ultimately, when he did it, he gave a road map out. For everyone to look at is a template. How can you maintain independent free press using all tech platforms when you're under matchups of suppression and censorship, media slander and law fair?.

But but the only, uh benefit that the you know in the event Jordan is, you know, brought in as a Democratic Senate. That's 50 50 course. The vice president of the United States makes the tie break the tie breaker, and and so that's what we would swing it. And if you recall during George Bush is a term, I mean, they swept the Senate, the house and what changed. I mean, there wasn't like a whole ramrod of laws coming coming down the pike. It takes time in Washington to get things done. And in two years there will be another congressional election and and, you know, we'll just see what happens there. So you know, we'll see what shakes out with Washington but with Democrats securing this in a number of relief measures targeted at renters struggling amid the pen pandemic, including the right to counsel Legal counsel for the those facing eviction and larger pot of money for background now have a better chance of materializing. So funds for back rent would benefit not only the renter but also owners of single family, mental that is desperately needed, right. So that is definitely a plus. It's too bad. You know the stimulus package that you know that just passed You know how much went to the people and how much went toe you know, gender studies in Pakistan and all kinds of crazy that the pork right so Funds for background are gonna benefit. You know, both Don't landlord and the tenant Democrats and have a rare opportunity to read directly and swiftly in the eviction crisis and prevent severe harm to renters and landlords. And this is from Emily Been for who is a lot professor at Wake Forest University. S O. The deal that they struck last month had $25 billion in rental assistance. What was proposed in the springtime with the home of the Heroes Act. Democrats had initially requested $100 billion instead of 25, so it would actually put four times the amount of money if they went back to the original proposal. $100 billion for rental assistance. And 75 billion to fund homeowners that, you know, help them avoid foreclosure, So that's huge. I mean, huge amount of money. And then back. In July, Kamila Harris introduced a bill that would ban all evictions and foreclosures for a year. So right now, The extension has been through January and the federally backed loans are extended through the end of February. But they're saying, you know, that's what they were trying to propose, or she was trying to propose. On Bill, See if that gets reintroduced again is now a year before you convict somebody that isn't paying, and hopefully you know the government in the event they did, this would jump in and least be compensating. The the landlord. Never saying specifically you cannot have, um, any rent increases or late fees from the landlord. So when your property taxes and your entrance and everything goes up on your home, you can't have a rent increase. You know if under this bill And that's you know, part of my my biggest concern with this if if a new stimulus package is passed swiftly and with these measures that says throughout the end of the year Everything that I read about the economy is that and we feel it. We see it that the underpinnings of the economy is so strong that you know. When everyone gets vaccinated or the majority gets vaccinated, which is predicted to be this summer. The economy is is on. The prediction is that it was going to war back. So why are we putting measures that take us through the end of the year when they may or may not be necessary? And, you know, do you do it in three months, six months blocks and a wait and see game because Again. I understand that people are in need, and we need tol people that are in need. But we why are we setting ourselves up? When we're spending money that may it may not be need to be spent and that that's I think the big guy I agree with you, Jerry. We our economy is raging and you know, officially, we're in this recession. But it's the worst. You know, the weirdest recession. I should say, you know that I've ever seen. And you know, this is what they call a K recovery, You know? Okay, you know, it's not a V, which is down once and and straight back up. It's not a W, which it down once and then twice down and then pops back up. And so it's basically what a K is is part of the economy goes up and part of it goes down. And you know the service industry jobs are definitely down An airline travel and anybody in in restaurants, you know, servicing. And you know, it s so there's some people that are struggling very much and then other people that are having the best year their life, so we'll see how that all shakes out what we'll talk.

Marshall Benson is 93.1 kfbk 70 five's of time on this Friday morning time now for our featured audio clip this hour while Handful of Republicans have joined many Democrats and calling for President Trump to be removed from office with the 25th amendment. Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican South Carolina is not among them. He's opposed to the idea, and he is our featured audio clip this hour as to the 25th amendment being invoked. Do not believe that's appropriate. At this point. I'm looking for a peaceful transfer of power. I'm looking for the next 14 days to reset. And we we hand off power in the traditional sense. By being a peaceful transfer. I talked to Mark Meadows this morning. The transition is going well. Is fully in place. I talked to the president's legal counsel, pet sit baloney. He is doing everything he can to help the transfer occur. Based on the reporting this morning, Kristina looking like the 25th amendment will not be invoked. This is according to Business Insider and The New York Times, both of those organizations reporting, vice President Mike Pence opposed. Using the 25th amendment to remove President Trump from power Now that doesn't take impeachment off the table. It doesn't because there has been talk Ng Nancy Pelosi kind of alluded to that perhaps impeachment would be back on the table. They have to move quickly. To be able to do it, and the goal of that would be to keep President Trump from running again if he decides to run in 2024, by the way, Nancy Pelosi is our featured audio clip coming up at 805, and you'll hear what she said directly to reporters about impeachment. The one thing that I found startling in that audio clip is the fact that she believes that most Americans support the idea of impeaching the president with less than two weeks to go in his term, right. Which I find very hard to believe. I don't know what national poll says that most people support it. Well, if half the people voted for him in the last election, Yeah, it might not support removing him for probably not. And then then there might be some Democrats who voted for Biden, who said, you know, let's just move on. It's time. Let's stop with the old days. That's all of it. Please just go away. But at any rate, the headline Today is this morning as you wake up and you're doing what you're doing on this Friday mornings that it's looking like the 25th amendment will not be invoked, according to Mike Pence, right, all right, let's get you caught up on this hour's top national story..

Very curious to see where things go over the course of the next couple of weeks because after tomorrow Things could change. Isn't that why we're seeing the running in Bitcoin? That's crypto currency and by the way, never, ever, ever, ever, ever. Ever take stock advice for me. Don't do it. Not now. Not ever. Please don't do it. You have been warned. I think people have been looking too. Bitcoin and a theory among these crypto currencies because they see it as a hedge against what might come from from Joe Biden. That's what it seems to be. I can appreciate it was such a thing. Full disclosure. I have little bits here and there. I don't have any major stake and in anything crypto. I just like the concept. I'm more like the Blockchain underneath. I gotta admit. I like the the technology that drives the concept. That to me, it is far more Far more exciting. In Ohio. They have repealed, um, duty to retreat. That means they're now 36 states that allow stand your ground. So this comes from the guys at the villa. Conspiracy over it Reason Volokh conspiracy, Vol. Okay. H is sensational. It's not a conspiracy. Excellent, excellent legal minds and libertarians who are a digging into big issues named after Eugene Volokh. Fantastic. So Ohio passed a bill that would move them from duty to retreat to stand your ground, and it's been signed by Governor Uh DeWine. Right? So the whole idea of duty to retreat it says under certain circumstances, failing to retreat from a confrontation will strip you of your right to use deadly force for self defense. Right? So there are places where you can and cannot use deadly force. There are states everyone's He's a little bit differently, but you know it's It's like saying somebody You know, destroys your car, right? They they beat your car with a hammer. You can't walk out there with a gun and shoot. Yeah. Nope. Now, if they're trying to hit you with a bat well, That's a whole different conversation altogether. So you take a look at at the states and then they're broken up into different ways. You do the duty to retreat. One is accepting your home. One is accepting your home or vehicle, your home or workplace, your home vehicle or workplace. Then there's some states that don't have a settled rule. 35 States are our standard ground. Standard grounds to me would make a tremendous amount of sense. The the idea that I say my life is in danger. Is well to fold I I have to actually believe it. And a rational person. Would also have to believe it. Right. Isn't that really where it gets interesting? A do. Do you find people who you know? Do we all believe in the same basic things? One of the things that you often hear is you know somebody is Banging on your door. Well, then maybe your life's not in danger. If they're trying to break down your door or breaking down your door, then your life is in danger. And no, I don't have to let somebody break down my door and not respond Now. It's funny. Some people will see that well, they were just breaking down your door. It's not like they were attacking you. Irrational people do irrational things and say irrational things. I am a believer and please check with your with your lawyer. If if if you will check with your legal counsel. My job is to go home alive, and if I feel you're a threat to me or my family, Well, then I'm going to do what I believe is best and I will deal with the legal consequences afterwards. That is me. That is my thesis. Not a do I have to back up to I can I stay? What do I do here while the person is choking me? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. While they're coming After my family, I make the decision to take care of my family. Then I'll deal with the rest. One man's thesis. We're gonna be digging in. Black lives matter. Because one of the co founders, Alicia Garza, Was on MSNBC. And said s. So here's the thing about Uprooting systemic racism. One. It's everywhere. It's almost like the air we breathe. No. You may not know that I'm not down with black lives matter. Racism is real black lives matter is a Marxist organization that can do no good can only destroy and I want no part of them. And the people who follow black lives matter and support black lives matter. Don't even know what it they're supporting. Because if they know what they're supporting, and still do it well, then they're just gross. Supporting Marxism is always a bad idea. Stop it. Supporting your neighbor who is black. Okay? See the difference. Let's talk about systemic racism, or Ross is to accept the fact. Well, you know, it's real. No, we don't all except the fact because no, it's not real, shall we? The system we could rip it out by the root. To destroy it. But now we've gone from there's a system that's racist, too. There are systems that are racist that it's everywhere. It's like the air we breathe, so that means our existence is racist. Nothing I could do about that. I plan on existing and not in the way you tell me. Now I also don't pay attention to you telling me about race. You don't get to have that conversation with me. Take that back. You could have any conversation you want. You have no power over me and I refuse to do your bidding. There would go much better. Much better. But once You get into the idea. Jack. Systemic Racism is everywhere. Everywhere you turn. There's racism everywhere. You turn this bigotry and everywhere you turn this hate. First of all, what an awful miserable life you lead. I mean, really, and truly just yuck! I feel for you. Who Who would ever want to live with that much pain and that much hate and that much anger Every single day. Who could want such a thing? But you have decided to let me know that you should not be taken seriously because it's not all around us and systemic. Racism is not a thing. Racism, however, is like anti Semitism is hate is.

I just want to find Uh, 11,780 Votes, which is one more that we have. Because we want to say so. So tell me. Red. What are we gonna do? We won the election, and it's not fair to take it away from us like this, according to the Washington Post of Secretary of State pushback, he said, quote. Well, Mr President, the challenges The data you have is wrong. Respect with this president. What you're saying is just not true. And then they began speaking with the legal counsel of the secretary of state, the legal counsel's named Ryan, Germany. He's the secretary of state's general counsel. He also said that the evidence that the president's team put forward is this not true. Secretary State said with one point quote, Mr President. The problem you have with social media is that people can say anything. President Trump then said All this isn't social media. This is Trump Media's not social media. Mr President. They did not. We did an audit of that We prove conclusively that they were not scanned three times. At one point, Trump said votes were scanned three times. Brad Why did they put vote in there? Three times, you know, put him in three times. And the secretary state responded. Mr President. They did not. We did an audit of that and we prove conclusively they were not scanned three times. The general counsel was then asked. You think it's possible? They shredded ballots and Fulton County because that's what the rumor is, and also that Dominion took out machine that Dominion is really moving fast to get rid of their machinery. Do you know anything about that, Because that's illegal. Which the general counsel responded. No. Dominion has not moved in the machinery out of Fulton County Trump. But they have moved the inner part of the machines replacing with other parts. General counsel. No Trump. Are you sure? You know, Counsel. I'm sure Mr President. I'm sure Brother and claim that they were 5000 ballots cast in Georgia in the name of dead people, to which the secretary of state responded quote the actual number is two. 22 people that were dead that voted later on the chief of staff for the president said I can promise you there were more than that. The secretary of state, said there were actually two There were two people who voted just to CNN aired more of the audio with the secretary of state. CNN has now obtained the entire phone call. We want to give you a much context as possible so you can hear for yourself. What the president was trying to accomplish in this phone call, So I'm going to play for you. Now a seven minute excerpt from this phone call, you'll hear the president appear to issue a threat. If the count is not changed, and Georgia's secretary of state a Republican, Brad Ruffins, burger pushes back, they're characterizing it as president, having threatened When I hear the reed would I've read anyway, he wasn't threatening at all. He was simply saying, I want this thing counted and counted fairly for counted fairly. I believe, he says I will win. Now There is a Constitutional lawyer named Rick Greene, a former Texas representative. He is a Republican. He outlined what he thinks could happen on January, the six day after tomorrow. We're talking about that in just a few seconds. Also Ted Cruz said. We have an obligation to ensure that the election was lawful. This past week I spent writing out of position and assembling a group that ultimately of 11 senators. That we put out yesterday that we will together object to certification in order to force the appointment of an emergency electoral commission to perform an emergency audit of the election results to to assess these claims of frauds. I think we can do that We could do it promptly. We can do it in 10 days. Before the inauguration, But I think we have an obligation to the voters, and we have an obligation to the constitution to ensure that this election was lawful. Meanwhile, the lawsuit that thought a declaratory judgment they gave Mike Pence the authority to determine which slate of electors should be seated. That lawsuit has been dismissed. And the attempt to appeal has also been dismissed. So the majority of members of the house and of the Senate will have to agree to unseat the electorate's something.

"The big lobster. Hi, Mike. What's going on? Hey, Todd. Thanks for taking my call. I love your show. Well, thank you Appreciate that. Um, I will disagree with you and I might be missing something that you can correct me. That's always good. But when you were talking about the attorneys and the cases The Supreme. Thank you, said the Supreme Court. For the court's plural. Has not agreed that they have the evidence and I haven't seen any court. Say that And they've said, and this is not a technicality. If you will, that there's no standing to take the case and just about all of them that I can see. And I think that's Big and you've probably seen the interviews. I have. So you might want to comment on it. But I've seen Jenna Ellis recently and Jason Miller. Another one public great interviews. I can't remember. I think Jason Miller was on Newsmax a couple nights ago, and he was reminding the You know the listeners of the same thing that we have not been turned away on the merits of the case more pointedly, we have not Been allowed to present. The evidence of the case, which is Of course, frustrating but also quite disturbing. I wanted to get your take on this that you have some information. I don't Well, look, no. And quite frankly, I don't like other than the fact that there have been legal reasons why they have not been able to present That that evidence and, um when you when you look at at what's happened thus far, and we're waiting to hear the from the from the Supreme Court, whether or not they will accept the Wisconsin case. So the president and his legal team of Aso Supreme Court to avoid the Wisconsin election results, and we're waiting to hear the Supreme Court decided, man. My issue is When you have. I mean it can I mean, if we're to believe what they're telling us, This is a vast conspiracy involving thousands, if not tens of thousands of people from the Supreme Court on down. Is. Is that a believable scenario for B? Because that's legitimately what they are alleging is there has been a vast Vast conspiracy involving just about every branch of the federal government. Right? Well, I guess for me, I try and just Look at the evidence that they've shown. Which my gosh, there's a lot and I certainly haven't seen all of it talk, but I just try and look at the evidence and see where it takes me, regardless of talking about a conspiracy or the Supreme Court. And there's such There are people out there saying, you know, I'm talking experts, people who have audited Dominion sheens and people who have looked at Uh, you know, specific data. They've looked at ballots, for example. And they said, We know these ballots were not ballots. Well, let me ask you this. Let me let me point this out. Mike. There have been allegations made about Dominion. As a matter of fact, those allegations broadcast on On Fox News on one America News and News. Max and Mike. Do you know what happened in every single one of those cases, those networks were required by their legal counsel to publish retractions of those allegations on their networks. So now you have to ask yourself, okay. So and Mike, Thanks for the call. We're coming up against the top of the hour here. So so Now you have to ask yourself a wait a second. If that's the case is Fox News in the bag for the Democrats is one America News in the bag Is Newsmax in the bag again, folks, You've got to extrapolate this. And say, Okay, Here's what they're alleging. Well, if this is what they're alleging that this is what that means. A lot of unanswered questions. Got to take a break sick around, we'll be right back.
