so most of the legacy media did not touch the big story of the day. Yesterday they pretended. There was really no big news. Yesterday they covered other things like sex in space or they covered what is going on with the possible looming trump indictment, which we'll discuss
but leads information about what is actually in the indictment suggest that they really do not have much against president from shock of shocked, but the big
of the day. Was this whistle blower testimony that happened on the hill? Now, just let's play the game
imagine, if the rules were first imagine a democratic brought forward in irish whistleblower, who had suggested open corruption
inside the trump family and then suggested the trump militarized the oj to protect his kids. Do you think
might lead the news: do you think that might actually serve as the predicate for impeachment? I'm gonna go with yes on that, but if it's true
by an hundred Biden. That not only are we supposed to pretend that nothing bad happened, we're supposed to choose
sties people for speaking about the whistleblowers themselves are now consider
bad whistleblowing is bad. If it's against Democrats, this is the way that all of this works is how you get through the entire obama administration, which was a scandal, ridden administration. Everything from the iris targeting political opposition to Benghazi, you get the
that entire administration, with the entire media, proclaiming that the only scandal brock Obama ever had is that he wore a tan suit at a press conference once a this? Is the game? Well, here's the thing: what was was
or said yesterday is pretty damn it. I said a bunch of thing or two separate whistleblowers. One is an animal
at he is one of the whistle from the ira's the other
We ve met array that Gary shabbily also in iris whistleblower, and they testified to a few things one. They testify that
pretty obvious than hunter, and Joe Biden spoke about business to that

bereavement alone is responsible for paying the Biden family business. Seven point three million dollars over the course of several years, including wind turbine, was vice president. According to that iris agent, Joseph hitler
The iris whistleblowers also suggested that the prosecutors who are supposed to be going asked
hundred by more basically stopped from doing so by Joe Biden, deo J, so was very bribery. Crime, perhaps was there a cover up
It appears to be that the dvd J used as leverage in its power in and prevent harsher sentencing
being brought against hunter Biden and also from certain questions being asked in the first place so
go through. Some of the testimony so, first of all, let us introduce ire.
whistle blower Joseph Ziegler, so intent
get ahead of the smearing than never lose income. His way Joseph Ziegler pointed out that he's gay democrat now identity,
politics doesn't work in this way for democrats, the way there were
for Democrats is that, if he's a gay democrat, no you're, not that that is the typical response that he's a bad person nonetheless, which means probably he's a straight republican. But here is a Joseph ziglar talking
about his personal life, a sort of action,
against the fact that Democrats, presumably climate, whoever makes reporting
so Biden via family must inherently be some sort of conservative republican. Her ziegler. I hope that I am an example to other algae boutique. You people out there who are questioning doing the right thing at the potential costs, sums
and others. We should always do the right thing, no matter how painful the process might be a kind of equate this

it was also one of the hardest things I ever had to go through a contemplated scenarios.
it would have been highly regrettable, but I did what is right and I'm standing or I'm sitting here in front of you today
mozilla is announcing like an incredible source right. All you have to do is is gauge the credibility
sources by looking at their testimony or by the contemporaneous documentation brought forward a shadowy is going to explain
just a minute. The other whistleblower he's the only
Who has any sort of corroborated reports, everything that David Weiss, the us attorney, who is going after a hundred Biden in very soft cushy fashion, was saying
I've been corroborated by anyway, everything shabbily his hat was being corroborated by other sources. In any case, ziegler also pointed
he's risking his greatness reputation by coming forward on the sort of stuff members of the committee today, s
I sit here before you not as a here or or victim, but as a whistle blower compelled to disclose the truth that sad and coming
forward. I believe I'm risking my career, my reputation and my case work outside
the investigation we are here to discuss. I ultimately made the decision to come.

divide that he was stopped during this entire investigation from interviewing Joe Biden adult children, that there was an attempt made by his superiors to prevent their from being any serious questioning of hundred Biden about all of his corrupt foreign affairs? Why did you want to interview
winter, adult children. So a lot of the business deductions expenses related to adopt children. Did you get the approvals? So we never received our approvals too to talk to
to those people. What did the assistant? U s attorney, tell you that that's gonna get us in the hot water
is that in the iris handbook avoiding hot water. No, but I mean I was asking to do these certain things and roadblock after roadblock was put up.
Promise me in his opening statement. Ziegler testified quote. I have reason to believe that gross mismanagement present throughout this investigation that there was a gross waste.

David? What was originally a trump appointed? U s attorney had been appointed by a bill bar
and the idea here is that these people-
All were somehow overseeing all of this, but here is the problem with that particular
that assumes there's not institutional capture, meaning David weiss at what point was he actually preventing these
destinations from going forward. That was in twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two I wish that is under Joe Biden. There is also the broader concern that has now taken root in all of the g o J, which is this bizarre. Space has been created largely by james call me
as we can be involved in quantum? What election interference? That typically means is that they are going to overlook
Criminality almost name is donald trump, if you're donald trump than the deal J will go after you with the hammer and tongs, and if you or anybody else, meaning a Democrat, then even republicans
inside the geo J, not gonna, go after you,
there's gotta be wants, jennifer everybody, either its election interference or not election interference with selection. Interference too deeply investigate the Biden family in the
after the twenty twenty election? Even if those
publicans doing it, that's if that's the rule can get involved in election reference. James com is not going to get involved in election interference because if he indict tellers

it's either election observers or not election interference. If the idea is, we can't investigated

Let's do it trump like that? Everyone can see that opel standard and you wonder why institutional credibility with deal jays absolutely in the toilet. This would be the reason and one second we'll get to the other iris whistle blower garish, aptly first

And we sell he him and she her chocolate bar says. Well, one of them has nuts. Ok, the other iris whistleblower is of course very sharply, and he up points out,

Denied special counsel status by merrick garland's d, o J, which would have allowed him to charge in a wide variety of jurisdictions, and I'm the only one who has that story. Corroborated, says shapley. Meanwhile, you have David wise, saying things that are rebutted by other other testimony from other witnesses. Mister Weiss was consistent with the investigators up until this october seventh meeting, and then he changed. What do you think happened, MR shapley?
I don't know, I don't know what happened internal environment, justice.
What I can say is there is that the store
it has been changing from
farmer, justice in you is turning wise and I think the only person who really have any documents have been corroborated. My own sharply said that
merrick garland and company were using their offices in your tax dollars to put our carefully crafted narrow, non denials that have confused rather than clarified, for the public. All without being subject to cross examination on the facts now here's the thing is: there are partisan aspects of this. Of course,
merit garland is a Democrat Merrick ireland is: can we protect him of Joe Biden, but many of the accusations that are being made by these iris whistleblowers suggested

Apparently the way, particularly with the Chinese that that you do business and this issue in a lot of foreign countries, because so many countries are deeply corrupt and deeply political. In
in china. Many chinese business people are working hand in glove with the government. They believe that power-

not the job of the g o J, the f b I or the iris to keep democracy in check. They have statutory authority to do certain tasks.
If they move beyond those tasks than they actually are going,

I said yesterday, I was gonna withhold opinion until I saw more about the indictment well now, there's more about the indictment being leaked to the new york times, so I can make a judgement as to the merits of the indictment as that sort of stuff rolls out again
things can also be dropped once they are in the classified documents case that donald trump may fulfill the elements of a crime, but it's also a political prosecution. Both those things can be true when it comes

trump in diamond. Looks this week. Why exactly? Are they doing a while? I think that we all know the answer. Democrats have to do whatever they can to stop donald trump. They have to do whatever they can to prop up Joe Biden now, there's also a dynamic where demo
are perfectly happy. Tell me down from an primaries. They think that he's most people candidate, if you asked Democrats about this- they basically pretty obvious about it, but they have built up in their minds. This idea this this, this mutually exclusive idea,
one it's good of down from gets nominated was Joe Biden can be demand to down from his greatest threat sort of the republic ever. So. How do you achieve both those things
at the same time. The down from his a huge threat sort of
like and that also
me the nominees for the job. I can beat him
Well, the answer is you in dynamo united, because by inviting him you make sure that can't be president
and also you elevate him in the primaries. So you've done all the things and then you wonder why people are very suspicious of how these investigations are run, how these prosecutions are run. It here's the thing when Democrats keep saying over and over and over that everything is justified.
Pursuit of donald trump. It makes us think that you will justify anything in pursuit of donald trump eddie glad from MSNBC. He says self governance itself is on the table of donald trump winds, the presidency
well. First of all I gotta say I hate this language on all sides. I really hate it. I thought Barack Obama was a terrible person. I hated his presidency. I think Joe Biden isn't
if a president, I hate his presidency. I can't wait for him to not be president of the united states anymore. Do I think that self governance itself is on the table in the united states right now, like with every single election? If you want to break up the country, it's a great way to do it
but that's exact democrats are perfectly happy to do that. Here is eight years eddie loud we're in this conflict.

for that. As we go forward, we can do this in a unifying way and we couldn't be better served in that regard than by president Joe Biden. This is a person who respects other points of view. A person has a vision about our country that is consistent with the vision of our founders that respects the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform to keep our freedom and intact and again,

with it it's a tragedy. It's really sad. This is the democratic party, and so, of course they have to protect the geriatric daughter in charge.
Of course they have to, and that means they need to simultaneously elevate trump, and then you stopped from simultaneously and that's what a lot of these indictment are very much about. Meanwhile
I have to say the administration doing a stellar job, as always with regard to foreign policy, and it is amazing to watch as

doubt that there are a lot of headlines right now behind how hot it is outside. I know it's hot outside you know I can do about that zero things. Thank god. We have. This thing called airconditioning its awesome. You know it's a great cure for being super duper hot outside being a first world country. Amazing
It worked out tremendously well because it turns out that if you have a really solid energy grid and you have the floor,

climate weirding. But that's doesn't really?
overall that way so that they call climate change, would you coursing
I, the climate is always changing, however, is worth noting at this point that all of these folks

It's really really hot and human, like I noticed when I first visited here, several you
his ago- and we moved anyway because air conditioning exists. I just want to point out at this point that done many. Many many more people die of of cold than heat
like that I know that we're all very enamored of all of the pictures of it being hot outside and everything, and that the media have decided that, when it's hot out
This is just evidence that that is our fault or whatever, but dumb lots more cold. That then he death, and so, if
indeed the world, is getting warmer on average. Maybe the means
our little milder
and am I mean, relief from death, so, according to the lancet there's more
that then he'd have literally everywhere, literally
everywhere on earth. Here's a chart
cross the period two thousand to two thousand and nineteen asia m
It's over two million called that's come here
to less than half a million. He deaths africans various over a million cold deaths.
Compared to a very large number of he doubts which shocking is africa's located in africa. Europe is a mess,
hundred thousand called that's as opposed to less than,
two hundred thousand. He doubts over the course of two decades, north America,
america. India. All the way
way more prevalent than he death. You don't hear about that, because a sort of inconvenient not only that.
If you look overall each year, he kills about half a million people called, kills four point: five million people
I know that these are all inconvenient fact, but they are reality. It can see a country by country we have a chart country by country actually showing the wild disproportion between cold death and he death. I point this out just because
again, if you follow what have media cover science this? What they do instead, you would imagine this car was exactly reversed, their ten times more coal dust and he deaths in europe. Ten times.
I guess that means that we obviously need to focus like like a laser beam on how hard it is outside, ok time for a couple of

The book is that when you have mass man

here's one thing things he says is the fascist and cynical: a species were characterized by the first appearance of a type of man who do not

reasonable. The reason of unreason

people talk about pure democracy, they are wrong. Pure democracy is a bad thing. The founders feared mob rule quite properly so
pure democracy was never supposed to be the way that governments work. This is why you need checks and balances. Unfortunate
