2:57

3:06
lot on uh my opinions My Views and my stances so thank you to Matt Wright and Spike Cohen for continuing to give me a
3:12
platform to talk to you guys about this stuff because on Monday
3:18
we have a new precedent and that is that a former president can be raided by the FBI and so of course both sides if
3:26
you’re pro-trump if you’re anti-trump you’ve come out and strongly in favor of one way or the other and we the
3:31
Libertarians get to go yeah both sides are [ __ ] let’s go ahead and work our way through this
3:38
uh before we dive in of course I Gotta Give a big shout out and thank you to Kelsey line designs if you guys are
3:44
looking to uh update looking to grow looking to build your business start a
3:49
new business you guys are looking to uh expand your campaign looking to build a brand get some logos uh get some new

4:03
you use the code Muddy Waters I guarantee you you won’t regret that
4:09
um but yeah so today’s topic we are talking a lot about Trump talking a lot about classification of of
4:17
materials whether that’s top secret National Security things of that nature we’re going to be talking about some of
4:22
the precedents um surrounding that so we have a new precedent and of course the people opposed to this precedent are the same
4:28
people who wanted to create a new precedent of going after a former first lady and throwing her in jail quoting
4:34
quoted as lock her up so before we get through all the partisanship we have to
4:39
lay the groundwork for each and every one of you guys because if you guys were sitting there like I was trying to be and just plugging your ears and hoping
4:46
that the week would go by without you um having to pay attention to this this garbage I’m glad that you’re here to get
4:53
the the real skinny of it all to get a deeper understanding of it so
4:58
that when you see your crazy uncle um at the dinner table you could just
5:03
shut them down with some of the facts and statistics and some of the theory around it um and when you’re crazy on who’s just a
5:09
radical anti-trumper when she sits down on the table you can also shut her the hell up as well
5:15
um because that’s what Libertarians are good for shutting people up making them upset because they don’t have the arguments against us
5:21
today I promise you you’re going to get some good insights some good views on this
5:26
do I want to defund the FBI for other reasons yes the question is do I want to defund the
5:34
FBI do I think that the FBI has ever lived up to its intentions no is the FBI
5:39
a good entity that should be loved and adored no
5:44
um but I’ve I’ve said this before uh before they went after a quote unquote
5:50
win after Trump um and everything else but we could talk about the FBI another day as an entity
5:56
in its own um we got a lot to go through tonight this is going to be the one and only
6:03
um conversation we’re gonna be having here going on Scott Noble um but today
6:10
it is an interesting thing we have already seen the narrative
6:16
surrounding this conversation from Monday to today being Friday
6:22
um we’ve seen the narrative around this change drastically over those times looking at it from Monday’s perspective
6:28
everyone was woken up um depending on what time you wake up or you know mosing about your day and then
6:35
you heard that President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago residents had been raided by
6:41
the FBI and suddenly the most Draconian narrative was being painted by those on
6:48
the right the FBI without any reason without any justification without any thought was was just going in and
6:54
pillaging and destroying um everything in the in in the residence and there was no nothing of not a
7:03
scintilla of evidence or or narrative that they could be going off of um Trump is clearly just an innocent man
7:09
and they’re just doing this nothing but in order to prevent him from running in 2024.
7:15
since then um I think even just today we’ve had
7:21
three narrative changes from the president Trump former president Trump himself on Truth social where uh the
7:28
information that they were collecting was first staged it was put there you know um
7:34
if if I could utilize Dave Chappelle in one of his skits of you know going into
7:39
a family’s home and sprinkling some crack on them Johnson that’s kind of the narrative he was
7:46
saying this is the stuff that was taken was this stuff was all put there by the FBI so they were they planted it and
7:52
then took it out then it was well they’re all Declassified so we’ll we’ll dive into that so we’ve
7:59
had this big long narrative change um but I think the most important thing here is to understand
8:05
the roles within this the president of the United States has this weird
8:10
position this weird position where they have unilateral control over the
8:17
classification of materials so whether something is classified as top secret Etc
8:23
um which means that they can also declassify so in the past what we have seen is when
8:30
documents are Declassified is that usually they’re markings of hey this is
8:35
top secret or hey this is secret or this is no foreign or or classified what have you
8:40
um those things get struck it out and there’s some other paperwork out there but just to be able to give that
8:46
paper trail the documents to the
8:53
to everyone’s knowledge to anyone’s knowledge there that was collected none of these documents have
9:00
been had their classification uh struck so the president United States does have
9:06
the power as a sitting president
9:11
um Well here here’s a quote to to clearly Define this as the chief of state the president doesn’t need a
9:17
security clearance because the president is the underlying Authority from which clearance flows in the first place
9:25
conversely that Authority rests with the office rather than the office holder so
9:30
former presidents do not retain it once they have left the office so the accusation
9:39
the search warrant that allowed for the FBI to go into Mar-A-Lago
9:47
okay was to collect information that they believed was classified information
9:55
and it was based on three crimes I’m so proud of my beard I might show after it
10:06
um if you I don’t even know if there’s a like button on on like that comment if you
10:13
guys can um the so the search warrant Darren marlago
10:18
was justified under three crimes which was being accused around this no person was named but the uh the evidence
10:27
through this uh search warrant was to look for violations of the Espionage Act
10:33
obstruction and destruction of federal documents those are three important things to look at we’ll we’ll dive into
10:39
what those mean and everything else um but these documents that they were trying to retrieve through the search
10:45
warrant there in Mar-A-Lago were in order to find evidence for this so a lot of things were taken out
10:51
to everyone’s knowledge these documents still have those classifications so they weren’t through any process actually
10:58
Declassified this is the first big point of contention that we’re going to see in
11:04
the legal world and everybody has their own opinion and I think at the end of the day because there’s there’s this
11:10
power that’s enumerated but not a process enumerated for it it’s going to be really difficult to see how we
11:16
grapple um with this idea but notice that none of those
11:22
none of those are actually a violation of of mishandling of of classified uh
11:28
materials which was one of the the narratives from Monday um that was that was put put out
11:36
um if it was that whole different conversation there and I’m I’m open for that conversation still we may dive into
11:43
that later on in the show um I’m still laughing about that YouTube
11:48
comment laughs but with this so FBI comes in no
11:57
problems they um they request that the the staff and the people there at the residence of the Mar-A-Lago to turn off
12:03
cameras apparently they did not so there is um a record of the FBI coming in and
12:09
Performing these there was no nobody performed any resistance nothing um everything was kind of transparent in
12:15
the way that it was functioning of course the question of why would you need the cameras to be shut down it’s one of those things
12:21
um that we see law enforcement work in weird and mysterious ways but
12:26
um so they collect this information since then um there’s been large amount of calls coming from Trump and from from
12:33
people surrounding Trump to say that you know they don’t need to provide anything that everything needs to be provided by
12:39
the government and I agree with those terms I agree with that narrative that you know I’m the one being accused or my
12:45
residence is being accused or I’m being accused of having my residents hold things that are against me they need to
12:50
to come out and provide you know the search warrant they need to provide this because yes Trump and his lawyers were
12:56
uh given the search warrant um but it’s not incumbent upon them to release those and so uh
13:03
the Attorney General mayor Garland did come out in a federal judge just
13:09
released those sorry not a federal judge a South a South Florida judge um did release
13:15
those documents uh a Magistrate Judge um did release those documents
13:21
um so those are now made public very very very vague um when it comes to how the the search
13:28
warrant was laid out but if I can go through and knock out a couple of important things in here
13:35
um so I was given 14 days it was signed on August 5th which means I had to be
13:40
performed by August 19th so they made that criteria between 6 a.m and 10 p.m so they made that criteria so this
13:46
wasn’t like a Brianna Taylor no knock raid where they could go at 12 40 in the morning no this had to be during the day
13:51
it wasn’t a serious concern I’m glad that they didn’t find documents like this to be of serious concern
13:58
um but the premise to be searched they described the address um and then it’s described as a resort a
14:06
club and a residence located near the intersection is described as a mansion this is really it was mind-blowing to me
14:13
because I live in a small place I I assume a lot of you do as well but it is
14:19
described as a mansion with approximately 58 bedrooms and 33 bathrooms
14:25
foreign include the 45 office all storage rooms
14:33
and other rooms of the areas where premises used or available by the former president of the United States and his
14:39
staff in which boxes and or documents could be stored including all structures or buildings on the estate
14:45
it does not include areas currently resided by Third parties or others um
14:53
Etc um and so also with this all physical documents and records constituting
14:59
evidence Contraband fruits of crimes or other items illegally possessed in
15:04
violation of uh 18 U.S code 70 or 793
15:10
2071 and 1519 including the following any physical documents with
15:16
classification markings along with containers and boxes including other contents in which such documents are
15:23
located as well as other containers that are collectively stored or found together with the aforementioned
15:29
documents and containers or boxes information including Communications in any form regarding the retrieval storage
15:36
and or transmission of National Defense information or classified material National Defense that one is the one
15:42
we’re going to talk about a little bit here in a little bit or we’re going to talk a little bit more about it in in a
15:49
few any government and or presidential records created between January 2017 and
15:55
or January 2021 so the entire time in which president was in office any
16:01
evidence of the knowing alteration destruction or concealment of any government and or presidential records
16:08
or of any documents with classification markings so they are just grabbing anything and everything
16:15
and this has set up a a line of defense that we know partisans to use
16:22
the Republic crests love to use this line of reasoning right when you get accused of something you go but what
16:28
about the other side and we saw this with President Trump today if you guys go on true social don’t worry I’m not
16:35
going to judge you for going on there I had to go on there to look this up but if you are a frequent flyer of there you
16:40
know that this is Trump Trump country of the social media World well on there Trump came out and he had
16:47
a couple tweets today um including
16:57
including there we go uh number one it was all Declassified number two they
17:03
didn’t need to seize anything they could have had it anytime they wanted without playing politics and breaking into the
17:08
Mar-A-Lago it was a secured storage with an additional lock put on per their request and they could have had it anytime they
17:15
wanted and that includes long ago all they had to do was ask I’m sorry I don’t have
17:21
I don’t have that rights uh Trump voice to to put on display for you guys uh
17:27
this was uh true social the bigger problem is what are they going to do with a 33 million pages of
17:34
documents many of which are classified that President Obama took to Chicago he’s of course referencing the uh Obama
17:41
library that is being believe it’s finished um but that is going to have a lot of
17:49
documents in it and also President Obama President Bush a lot of former presidents do maintain some of these
17:56
records some of these things and so it’s that fourth um that fourth portion of the
18:03
objects to be um to be retrieved through the search warrant of any evidence or sorry the
18:08
third one any government and or presidential records created between January 2017 and January 2021 this is
18:17
where that what aboutism really gets to come into play um I don’t think it’s a good defense I
18:22
don’t think it’s a good case because I’m one that I I think that bad actions
18:29
are bad and yes let’s go after as many people as we can but it’s not good enough to say well these other people
18:35
did it so you have to go after them too you can’t go after me um we can dive more into this
18:42
if this was a matter of just having documents of just having classified information I think that this would be a
18:49
giant nothing Burger but I think that there is oh God you guys are going to hate me for
18:56
this there is from the Washington Times New York Times sorry from the New York Times
19:02
They had a post that was talking about this is actually about Declassified
19:08
materials over National Security specifically over nuclear weapons
19:14
this does change things up a little bit um I don’t know this is this is one of
19:21
those difficult things where it’s it’s incredibly difficult to
19:27
Grapple with the idea of something as important as something that they lose frequently which is nuclear weapons but
19:32
actually the information surrounding those um many people are saying that they don’t have unilateral power to
19:39
declassify such information as the nuclear weapons but without it being codified without it being enumerated it
19:46
really gets into a weird circumstance do I think that Trump would sell it off to say
19:52
Russia or to Kim Jong-un or to some other entity I don’t think that it would
19:57
but I think that this is where kind of you have to have that gut check
20:02
you have to go ah even if I like Trump even if I see Trump
20:08
in a positive light and I think that he’s well intentioned do I think that it’s good for him to be able to release
20:16
information around nuclear weapons I don’t really think that that’s a good
20:22
answer but I know that if it was something somebody I saw in the absolute worst perspective it’s not something I
20:30
would want them to have right having that litmus test having that check of
20:36
is this what I would want my worst enemy to be equipped with it’s a pretty clear thing for me that’s like yeah I don’t I
20:42
don’t really see that being valuable um question was was does this mean that
20:49
Trump could have still launched nuclear weapons after he was President I believe that when it comes to the football they
20:55
change the uh the codes on a on a fairly frequent basis and so there there isn’t
21:03
um it’s not that you’d be able to launch those things but there is information surrounding those that can be given out
21:10
um you know from my military past even knowing so I was on submarines and
21:18
so we had the capability like many all submarines we had the capability of
21:24
having nuclear Warheads on board and it is so incredibly illegal for any
21:32
of us to even try to measure any of the the WarHeads that we have on
21:39
board because some of them are not going to be they’re going to be regular ballistics and some of them will be nuclear uh nuclear armed
21:47
um it’s it’s illegal for us to go and take a geiger Mueller um reader and and put it up there to see
21:53
if we’re getting some some some radiation coming off of those so just being able to have any information like
21:59
that could you know could put could pose a risk for those
22:04
kinds of things um so so there’s a there’s a safeguard around
22:12
nuclear armaments and there’s of course a safeguard around nuclear stuff in general um there’s plenty of stuff that I still
22:19
recall from back then but these are classified and that hasn’t been Declassified by President Trump nor any other so I’m not going to dive into
22:25
those um but
22:30
back to the back to the train of thought so it’s going to be it it’s one of those
22:38
things of looking at it do we just say that he has unilateral power unilateral
22:43
control just every bit of he can do what he wants to do because at the time of
22:50
when this was created um or when this when these documents
22:55
were were procured um he was President so now he can declassify them while being president
23:03
to and so even if it’s nuclear weapons that is getting into iffy territories there
23:11
now there’s another perspective with all this that is really coming under siege and this is where you’ve got a lot of
23:17
people partisan on this and I haven’t I don’t like the way that this is
23:23
structured because this this is really we are putting so much trust into our
23:29
presidents and I don’t think that people have realized this so when it comes to the declassifying
23:34
and classifying process every entity with the exception of the
23:40
president has a process they have to go through in order to do these things and even historically the presidents have
23:48
had a process that they’ve gone through where those documents are are marked up and and Declassified and they’ll have a
23:54
stamp on it and it says what day they were Declassified and you know they’ll have like some kind of a paper trail to
24:00
where people aren’t aren’t questioning if it’s been Declassified
24:05
that’s been kind of a a a a tip of the hat to tradition
24:12
there’s nothing there that codifies that and so it brings up a couple
24:17
hypotheticals probably not hypotheticals I just wasn’t able to find any of them wherein a president could declassify
24:25
something so let’s say that President Trump did declassify these and it was it was
24:32
during the time of him being president of of having those powers and he had those in his Mar-A-Lago residence for
24:39
whatever reason but somebody else had that same document now it is technically because it was
24:45
through the proper channels and everything else Declassified this other individual let’s say I found this document and I was found guilty of
24:53
holding classified information that I’m not supposed to have there’s nothing there protecting me
25:01
because there was no paper trail but there cannot be a forced paper trail unless the president himself creates
25:08
something that forces a process to happen going forward so this may be something where Joe Biden comes out and
25:13
and safeguards the future of of declassifying information doubtful
25:20
um but it can’t fall to Congress and it can’t fall to the judicial courts either
25:27
and it has to remain with the president it has to remain with an article uh
25:35
article two of the Constitution because that’s where it’s called out so when it
25:41
is a a constitutional thing and it is afforded to only one branch it is not afforded to the others to make sure that
25:48
they’re doing it the way that they want them to do it they have no control so it falls to just merely the Office of
25:55
the President it can’t fall below because it’s given to the top
26:00
so there’s only one seat in the entire country that can can enumerate a process
26:09
it’s going to be really difficult to see somebody come forward and set a process where they’re going to limit themselves
26:15
in the future imagine that government limiting government yeah that’s not gonna that’s not a thing let’s just just
26:21
trust the 87 000 new IRS agents uh they’re gonna do a good job
26:26
um so we’ve got so much on this that I’m we
26:34
don’t [Music] this whole conversation is so convoluted
26:39
because of all the partisanship because of people who worked with Trump are saying like this is what Trump did this
26:45
is how Trump works this is how you know this is Eric Trump coming out there and
26:52
if he was better at looking at what he said he would have his own foot in his mouth
26:58
um well armed yes well armed 87 000 IRS
27:04
agents But Eric Trump came out and and there’s a lot of people that are putting out really bad faith things there’s a
27:10
lot of people that are just coming out there just throwing out blanketed defenses and and uh just kind of ignorant of of the whole topic and don’t
27:17
want to look at it they want to just they want to find their goal and they want to work towards that goal
27:22
and Eric Trump said something um in order to try to do a slam dunk on uh President Biden which I have no
27:29
problem dunking on Biden let’s be honest it’s kind of easy it’s kind of fun um you know just ask Biden
27:36
for one term that would describe America um fantastic if you haven’t seen that go
27:41
go go Google that one um But Eric Trump trying to dunk on Biden
27:48
sitting there on Fox News he says I know the White House as well as anyone that’s right
27:54
the Sun of a former president of a one-term president who was impeached twice
28:02
who cons consistently called to use the doj
28:09
as a political means or against his political enemies he says I know the White House as well
28:14
as anyone I know the system this did not happen without Joe Biden’s
28:20
explicit approval when discussing around this raid on Monday night
28:31
from that perspective of Joe Biden probably should have been involved on this raid
28:39
um if I was Joe Biden I wouldn’t I would want to do what every other president
28:44
has done and distance myself from this we’ve already seen where the the press secretary has already distanced herself
28:50
from this because even if this was an entirely benevolent
28:56
raid of nothing but just trying to clean out things without a a s without the
29:04
idea of it being partisan in any way of being political opponents in any way Etc
29:10
it’s not something that you would want to be engaged with at all
29:17
so the Joe Biden wouldn’t want to be a part of this but Eric Trump is saying that
29:24
he knows from experience from his one term in office or from his father’s one-term in office that
29:31
any raid well I mean we can extr we can expand it out to say any raid by the FBI
29:36
is done with the president’s approval which he may be the the commander-in-chief but
29:42
that’s that’s really micromanaging at best
29:48
or just merely the big giant raids where
29:54
we’ve seen calls for the doj to step in where we’ve seen where uh you know Trump is gone after James Comey uh during his
30:01
time in office um for not doing things you know apparently there’s president’s got a lot
30:07
more sway than what they arguably should
30:15
so um so I was checking up on the comments again but
30:23
so this whole thing is blowing up right now and in at the end of the day there’s a couple narratives that have to be
30:31
looked at there’s going to be a couple fights on a sitting president has unilateral power
30:37
and it’s because they’re the president not because they’re former president so once they leave they are no longer that
30:44
God over over the declassifying and classifying information so once they’re out
30:52
now you have just your random Joe schmoe that may have some some classified information
30:58
still as depicted by previous presidents what of it was Declassified what of it
31:05
do we have records of it being Declassified how does that go about well
31:10
that’s something that we’re gonna have to have these discussions on if we want a better government these are discussions that are going to need to be
31:16
had with the president United States and A change is necessary but if we look to
31:23
what is his name okay
31:30
I have his name right there sorry I wrote my notes and if you guys
31:35
know anybody who just [ __ ] and all over the place uh cash Patel cash Patel a panda if you
31:44
know anybody who is just all over the place you’ll know like my notes are also all over the place um cash Patel a pentagon Chief of Staff
31:51
during the Trump Administration he was when discussing this very raid
31:56
was discussing this very information he had a lot to say on this he’s been on Breitbart he’s been on Fox News he’s
32:02
been on mostly the right wing networks right the the right side of the aisle because he’s speaking in favor and so of
32:09
course he wouldn’t be accepted on left wing he’s on the right wing side of things um but he told Breitbart News in May that
32:16
the documents previously recorded or recovered in Mar-A-Lago had been Declassified by Trump but their markings
32:22
were not updated Trump Declassified whole sets of materials in anticipation of leaving government that he thought
32:28
the American public should have the right to read themselves it’s information that Trump felt spoke
32:34
to matters regarding everything from russiagate to the Ukrainian impeachment Fiasco to major national security
32:40
matters of great public importance anything that the president felt the American people had a right to know is
32:46
in there and more Patel said adding that he was with he was with Trump when the
32:51
then president said we are declassifying this information Patel who declined to comment on the documents this week told
32:58
Breitbart that the White House Council failed to generate the paperwork to change the classification markings but
33:03
that doesn’t mean the information wasn’t Declassified so Patel is already putting himself into this thing saying look we
33:10
can’t have any kind of Standards we can’t have any process um Trump’s just okay with this
33:16
and johannoush is asking the right questions didn’t Trump once say he would release the Uso UFO information
33:23
we didn’t need to know that we needed to know the Russian gate stuff right we got to focus on the importance of here
33:31
but we’re gonna see like I said we’re gonna see this battle and arguably nothing is going to come of it it’s
33:38
gonna be like the discussion of qualified immunity where we’re going to keep having to keep fighting people to have these conversations of
33:45
let’s hold people accountable it’s going to be conversations like around civil asset forfeiture where we’re going to be
33:50
like let’s stop letting the state steal from people it’s one of those things that we the people see like hey there’s
33:55
an actual problem here you guys could easily be a part of the solution by stop doing bad things and do more gooder
34:03
things yes more gooder it’s just gonna fall on deaf ears
34:15
so it’s um
34:21
so it’s really interesting because you know that that last part of from Patel of these things were not marked as
34:28
unclassified but they were Declassified I I don’t understand how
34:35
it it puts it into a scenario where things are incredibly arbitrary and I’m not saying that the government makes
34:41
sense I’m not saying um yes I agree with who just texted me
34:49
um I lost my train of thought because of you texted me but I love you
34:55
um oh but it it’s incredibly arbitrary and
35:03
yes the government is arbitrary of course but the idea that if you don’t have to declassify things and markings
35:09
but you can just declassify them without a paper trail so many things are
35:16
going to fall through the cracks it really just shows to the level of what government doesn’t matter these
35:22
classifications don’t matter at the end of the day because it they could all be Declassified but you
35:29
could just say no he said this was Declassified and so it’s Declassified if that’s the level of of expertise that
35:37
we need if that’s the level of professionalism if that’s the level of a process that we need just literally
35:43
anytime anyone is is found guilty of of holding confidential material no this
35:49
one was Declassified when yes
35:57
that’s it that’s it that’s all you have to do that’s all you have to do
36:05
I I figured as much and that’s why I wasn’t gonna I wasn’t gonna I’m gonna read it out loud
36:12
what’s up winning TV so it’s so oh
36:20
I found those notes again um it’s it’s such a frustrating situation to watch and I understand I
36:27
empathize with you all and when we see our friends and our families and our our
36:32
the news is arguing over this they aren’t talking about how to make this better they’re arguing should president
36:39
Trump be allowed to run for president again um in 2024 because that is one of those
36:46
charges the destruction of federal documents if found guilty
36:52
this is arguably the politically aimed one the maximum or the minimum punishment is
36:59
or maximum punishment is three years and the penalty includes disqualification of future office now
37:06
another stupid constitutional argument
37:11
does that mean president United States because it doesn’t specify it the Constitution says what
37:18
your qualifications have to be and it doesn’t say that you could be found guilty of this thing that
37:24
was created hundreds of years later um but this is this is the angle that
37:29
people are taking so we’re going to see the argument and the fighting over
37:35
can a president posthumously declassify information
37:41
does there need to be a process for declassifying information how can you tell when something was
37:47
Declassified if there was not a process for declassifying and if found guilty of
37:53
destruction Federal documents which I don’t know the basis for that on this
37:59
I haven’t seen more than just the what was what was uh unsealed
38:05
does this mean that the president United States the former president United States cannot run again
38:17
so I this is this is one of those
38:22
circumstances that I It piqued my interest for the reasons why it doesn’t pick anybody else’s interest because I
38:29
love these constitutional debates I love these these these structures these power structures the the struggles between how
38:36
the government’s going to function and move forward and honestly if you guys if we’re gonna look
38:43
at the political aims for me it looks at hey are these people actually looking to make our lives better or are they just
38:49
just trying to give themselves cover and I think at the end of the day what they’re going to do especially if we see
38:54
President Biden not taking action and make an executive order to set a process forward they’re just looking to be able
39:01
to go after each other that’s at the end of the day government is there as an entity to go after individuals and to go
39:08
after groups and to go after organizations it’s not there for our interests it’s there just to be able to
39:13
to Insider trade legally Nancy Pelosi uh it’s there so that they can steal your
39:20
labor steal your profits steal from you and your family steal food off of your
39:26
tables and then Pat themselves on the back for the good job that they did because after they took all of your jobs
39:31
now people are responding and they’re getting more jobs back and they’re like look at what a great job we did
39:44
government so for me this is this is why it piqued my interest and if you if you got that Trump trump
39:51
Uncle you got that that uh that that Progressive left Aunt
39:57
they’re in it for their teams I’m in it because I hate government honestly I
40:04
hate the inefficiency I hate the ineffectiveness I hate the way that these processes go but I’m intrigued by
40:10
them and so that’s why I wanted to bring it to you guys today so I I love you guys I appreciate you guys I
40:17
