Talking on all political subjects and taking on all colors, this is Matt Flynn direct
with your host Matt Flynn. Welcome to Matt Flynn direct. How many live statewide
on civic media? Our lines are open eight four four nine six seven two seven eight nine. No
subject is off limits. All points of you are welcome. Remember you're not woke if you don't know
history. You're not woke unless and until you know history you're going right to the front lines
of history in the making. Let's start with Colorado that Supreme Court decision that came down
yesterday. We talked about it yesterday. Saying that Trump will not be on the ballot in Colorado
because he incited an insurrection and he's barred by the 14th amendment.
Right now by its terms it applies to the Republican primary and March 5th in Colorado.
But the court stayed the decision in other words the court put it on hold for a period of time
for a couple of weeks for Trump to try to appeal to the US Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court
does nothing doesn't take the case they don't have to take the case. The very few cases the US
Supreme Court has to take. Maybe a lawsuit between two states arguing about the boundaries
something like that but they don't have to take the case or they can say let it wind up through
the court of appeals. Jack Smith has moved the court asked the court to take it immediately. That
was originally not the Colorado case that was the case on Trump is immunity defense but
Jack Smith's position in all these cases is don't sit on it court. Don't sit on it tarantulas.
Don't take a month to think about it and kick trial dates and mislead people in the
primaries and he'll take the same position in Colorado as well. So what is the fall out of this?
Well let me tell you something. Trump's thugs went to work. Trump's thugs went to work. There
have been a flood of threats death threats against the Colorado Supreme Court against all of them
even the ones in the minority that said that they didn't think he should be kicked off the ballot.
Now here's some examples. These are violent threats. Some of them some of Trump's supporters
and Trump you know always thinks he's he's as pure as the driven snow. Well I didn't do it as
just my supporters. Well yeah but on social media on truth social on acts and all of these things
you're shooting your mouth off threatening them coming very very close to explicit threats.
And what do you think they're going to do? What do you think they're going to do? Well here's
a couple of examples. One tweet that came in was like this quote this ends when we kill the
F blank blank K-E-R-S. Speaking about the justices of the Colorado Supreme Court
another one came in like this quote what do you call seven justices from Colorado
at Supreme Court at the bottom of the ocean answer a good start.
That's an old hackneyed thing that they say about lawyers people don't like lawyers.
Here's another one quote kill judges I'm not kidding behead judges roundhouse a judge
into the concrete. Another one is slam dunk a judges baby into the trash camp.
Everything that I just described is a felony. It's not just the president you can't threaten
it's judges but there's so many of these threats and sometimes they take some unwinding to see
who sent them and people aren't following up on them. Everyone that I just read that individual
should be brought to trial for threatening a judge and given a long jail sentence.
That to me is the only thing that's going to stop this. The only thing that is going to stop
this is very dangerous and Trump is behind it and he's going to attack any judge as a case with him.
Go to the lines Bill of a condom walk my friend thanks for coming Bill listen your mind today.
Thanks Matt for showing the severity of what this issue is about. If we allow these people to
perpetuate this criminal activity and threats well it'll just escalate like you can't believe.
Right now most of it's just verbal threats nothing more but the real threats have already happened
and he blows his husband trying to be bludgeoned in death. There's been other incidents
but in less clearly if the Supreme Court or Federal Supreme Court doesn't stop it
by saying he is ineligible to run for election. Thanks Matt for the air time I really appreciate it.
Yeah no and you're right and let me tell you something else the US Supreme Court has security
extensive security not quite like a president but they can go to a restaurant and they have a bunch
of agents around the average judge doesn't have that they've got to do something to stop Trump doing
this. Charles of Green Bay my friend thanks for calling Charles what's in your mind today.
Well Matt I'm just thinking you know okay if Donald Trump can make these people do his bidding
what is the difference between what Donald Trump did on January 6th and what Donald Trump is
continually doing to his threats to the judge and Osama bin Laden who got his pilots to go slam
into the World Trade Center it's the same thing because Trump gets his cronies to do his bidding
and Osama bin Laden got his cronies to do his bidding so what's the difference I personally
and it's only my opinion that Trump should face the same penalty that the Rosenbergs did in 52
and I'll leave you with that thought. Right no no I understand the reference and that was
treason he has committed treason insurrection is treason the Confederates for instance when Lincoln
pardoned them all he didn't have to do that and Robert Lee and Jefferson Davis could have been
hanged but they weren't because Lincoln wanted to bind the country together but that is the sanction
there's no question that that's the sanction and I think that he is as responsible or more
than the people who make these threats because he's jaining it up but he's very sneaky he goes up
to the line let's say well I didn't say to say that yeah okay what do you think it's going to happen
when you say that this judges biased and corrupt and what the heck do you think is going to happen
I like to call Charlie call more often Matt of Johnson Creek my friend thanks for calling
him Matt. Hi I just wanted to get your opinion on I thought I had on how I think the cowardly
conservatives are going to hunt on this whole Colorado issue if they take it up I feel like
they might take the language that's the 14th saying they're not allowed to hold office
but not necessarily to be elected to office or to run on a ballot or to engage in election
like that's just my I'm if I had a guess like how do they weasel their way out of actually having
to do anything you know important that they say oh well there's nothing saying in the Constitution
he can't run for office and that's what the suit is about along and farewell what do you think?
That's a very profound insight legally and let me give you a couple of examples where this
happened before there are a lot of scholars and that means that there's some cover for these judges
to say exactly what you just said it doesn't mean that they can't run it just means they can't
actually take the office give you two examples one is you have to be 35 years old to be present
you have to be 30 years old to run for to be in the Senate and you have to be 25 years old
to be in Congress in the House of Representatives believe it or not there's no
no age for the Supreme Court but suppose somebody who is 30 years old ran for president
and somebody went to court and said well he shouldn't be permitted to run it's five years too young
I think I think you're right I think that a judge would say well he can run all he wants but he's
can't be sworn in and occupy the office that is a concern and at the presidential level the
reason that's a concern is it's not just a senator or a congressman it's the leader of the whole
country and if a majority of the whole country wants that that individual is a leader to say okay
he can run and he can promise stuff then he gets elected and he can't take office you know this
Supreme Court does not have an army that's a very very astute insight now one that always
occurred to me was Ted Cruz Ted Cruz ran for president remember in 2016 Ted Cruz's father was
from Cuba and he was born in Canada his mother was an American from Delaware but he said and I
said at the time I don't think he's he's not a natural born citizen natural born citizen was put
in the constitution you have to be a natural born citizen to run for president by the way and that
was because back when George Washington became president and and and Adams and the rest of them
there were plenty of people who had been born in England you know Tom Payne for instance a great
patriot he was a you know common sense he wrote that he's a great patriot but they wanted to make
sure that they were not people from England or France or Europe running for president of the United
States George Washington was born in the United States so it was Adams so the rest of them
well now it's start of a John McCain he was born in Panama but his father was an admiral and he
was not a Navy based in Panama at the hospital and he his father was stationed there so everybody on
both sides said of course he can run but now it's gotten to the point where you can have a Cuban
father and be born in Canada and your Cruz and you say I'm running and I think people did it
mad exactly what you're saying they said well we'll sort that out later guy probably won't win
and he didn't win so they didn't have to deal with it but you're right it does not say you can't run
you know you can run I mean uh some states will knock you off the ballot some won't
but what happens if you get elected I personally think that Trump's not going to get elected
he's not going to be Joe Biden Joe Biden despite everything you hear is handling all of our foreign
policy initiatives magnificently he's the most experienced foreign policy guy we've had
in the United States simply because he was in the Senate and he was a chairman of the
foreign relations committee so we're lucky to have him and the clown Trump the more he
he's up there quoting Mike Conf and says he never read it well you know you're pretty close
Jack say you never read it well you read his collected speeches you can't have a clown you can't
have the butt of a joke you can't have Putin's mistress in there as president let's say what coming
up we're going to talk about this some more I see when the lines do not hang up get back to you
right after we come back to be real quick and talk about this some more and then we're going to
talk about Rudy Giuliani he just went bankrupt
welcome back to Madison director lines are open eight four four nine six seven two seven eight
now I'm going right to the lines take in order do not hang up Gina will clear my friend you're
first what's your mind aging hi Matt thank you so much for taking my calling and thank you for
doing such an outstanding job criminals you know we got to stop covering for criminal behavior no
the Scottish you know who get some big money from from people for trips and things you know
these people need to be held accountable this is ridiculous and you know if they were smarter
had a brain in their heads they quit making excuses and making themselves more indebted to Donald
Trump all these people that are running for office in the Republican party those people will not
call him out but yet nobody likes them maybe if they had a little cajonas and call this guy out
and say no he shouldn't be running maybe people have a little bit more respect for him but right now
none of those people deserve the respect of the American public I mean this this is so outlandish
you couldn't even find this in a movie and then with the invocation you know to to come to the
capital on the six how many people lose lose and have a loser party how many people invite some
people to their place or to party or to get together to celebrate their loss it's going to be great
I want to say come on celebrate with me come on now we're not that goddamn dumb come on
most people need to know that the public is awake they may have a few that are still sleeping but
I'll darn it Matt this is like I hope it's going to make some more out of this so make millions thank
you very much Matt you have a great day bye bye well when you invited them on January 6th
we wanted you to come and get a criminal conviction I mean as well you should have said that
12 hundred of you are going to get criminal convictions so some of you are going to go to jail
for 20 years you idiots going down the line Claire of Sun Prairie thanks for calling Claire what's in
your mind today hello Matt I hate to correct you on a point here with the birth certificates for
being born overseas like with McCain it had nothing to do with the fact it was at a military
base my father was a CIA station chief in Cairo and I was born there and my birth certificate is
an Arabic but there's a State Department form the top it says report of birth of child to
American parent or parents because my parents were from Wisconsin and automatically a US citizen
and in Barack Obama's case his mother was from Kansas end of story yeah but there's two
differences there Claire Barack Obama was also born in Hawaii and not in Cairo and the second thing is
that the state of yet yes you're an American citizen but that doesn't mean you're a natural
you natural born that's a different standard now I agree with you it's a very very good point
I do agree and plus both of your parents were American citizens
Ted Cruz's father was Cuban but putting that aside I agree with you that that is how people
are beginning to interpret natural born citizen but I think that's a mistake I think that if you
are born of two American parents who are citizens and you make they may be traveling and you're born
inadvertently overseas or their station that's one thing but when one of them
that's this is my own personal feeling but when one of them is foreign you're born a foreign country
that's an attenuated link to the the whole idea is you don't want attenuated links
with our culture and who is the president of the United States but that's just a matter of opinion
and I do agree with you that that is ultimately what you just said is ultimately probably
our court would rule thank you for calling look forward to your calls again Andrew
Andrew of Detroit Michigan thanks for calling Andrew what's in your mind today
good afternoon professor uh I think one of the worst that I'm terrified for the future of
here we've got a constitutional crisis going on right now and we have to believe that and
understand that and one of these judges is finally going to have to put him somewhere where they
can shut him up because no matter what happens with these courts no matter what happens with the
elections if it doesn't turn out the way he wants it to there will be trouble we saw him do it
before he will do it again he does not lose in his mind thanks that well yeah thank you and he
has agents in some of the elections boards around the country we're going to have to keep a sharp
bag against fraud but I agree I mean Biden will beat him by another seven million votes
he beat him by over 30 electoral votes last time he's going to beat him again and they're not
going to say kindly to it but they do know the twelve hundred of them were convicted of crimes
by screwing around last time they better not do it again Troy of Mount Horop thanks for calling
Troy what's in your mind today hey Matt how are you doing I'm good Troy yeah what's up good hey um
I don't agree with this narrative that people keep saying that people are afraid of
Trump and that's why they don't confront him I think the ones who disagree with him
didn't confront him you know with training met Rodney a few others the rest of them I think
agree with them and they're not afraid of them they just just this is who they want and they're happy with
yeah that's an interesting very interesting insight let me give you a slight spin on that okay I'm
just going to give you a slight spin for my own belief and experience and looking at it
I agree with you that a lot of them that don't confront him like to write his co-tails I
agree with that in other words and they don't want to be premiered by him but Lindsey Graham said
and Mitch actually mr. McConnell as well both of them said that if the vote on conviction of the
impeachment remember the House of Representatives votes for impeachment by a simple majority the
Senate has to convict that they're the trial the impeachment is like a prosecution and the trial
the court is the Senate that has to be by two thirds and uh several of those senators said
if that were a secret ballot he would have been convicted a hundred to nothing
I think there is fear of him and people tend to dislike what they fear they fear the primary so
I think you're absolutely right that they like his popularity if they can write the co-tails
I think that's absolutely right and some of them agree with him on some issues
some of them agree with him on all issues for instance it's Tommy Tuberville whom I can't stand
when he talked about poisoning the blood for immigrants remember Trump just he repeated it
at the other day Tommy Tuberville said that Trump wasn't aggressive enough in what he said
everybody else said hey that's not a monk comp Tommy Tuberville said it's not enough so you know
somebody like it Tommy Tuberville may like everything about the guy but a lot of the others will like
well tax cuts and immigration all that but they don't necessarily like the fact that he sucks up to
Putin and that he'll betray Ukraine but they do not have the guts to stand up to him so I think
you're right that they like writing in on his popularity no question I think that Mitch McConnell
and Lizzie Graham were right said if it had been a secret vote on conviction he would have been
convicted a hundred to nothing I believe that too but I also think that there is fear of him and
dislike even though they need him and I think that's an operative thing so it's a gray area it's not
100% one way or the other coming up coming up we are going to have the house weaponizing
the budget fight this is very very dangerous and I may sneak in some Giuliani word on that too
welcome back to Madison director lines are open eight four four nine six seven two seven eight nine
want to follow up quickly on the threats against the Colorado Supreme Court the Court of Appeals in
Washington just released an unredacted unredacted copy of the underlying the gag order that had been
imposed by Tanya Chutkin they approved it a modified version of it and in this unredacted part
there been three pages in the original order but the unredacted part says there was a government
official and they didn't name them but if you wanted so you can find out by going and looking
the court file government official was forced to flee from his home after Trump shared his
address online this is in the unredacted gag order he left his home and then he has stopped
commenting on Trump because he's afraid the original is a 68 page order and three pages had been
blacked out and the truth is that multiple and it says state and local officials face security
threats after they were targeted by Trump the cal the Colorado Supreme Court justices Trump's
people published their their their their email addresses their phone numbers and their office
addresses I don't know if they published their private ones but if you in any in any respect cross
Trump you you're going to be targeted by death threats and that is somebody we cannot have as
president of the United States we can simply not have somebody like that as president of the United
States okay very quickly before we get to the budget Rudy Giuliani declared bankruptcy chapter 11
he disclosed in his bankruptcy application or petition that he had assets between one in 10
million well you know he has a hundred and forty eight million dollar debt the shame was in
Ruby Freeman but the one to ten million is almost certainly it almost certainly includes his
is condo there's a question in my mind and bankruptcy experts who who specialize in this we
remember you have doctors and you have lawyers but we have individual specialties we're not
specialists in everything that this is something there is a provision the bankruptcy law that if
you committed fraud it's not dischargeable in bankruptcy and they continue to garnish you you
can continue to do anything they want to you question in my mind is if there is fraud involved in the
tort of defamation does that fall into that umbrella and I'm certain that that's going to be very
closely looked at very very closely looked at by by the judges and frankly by shame was and Ruby
Freeman's lawyers they also have however have an emotion against him to force him to stop defaming
them and there's some first amendment issues there but because he's judgment approved now you know
he's bankrupt he figures he can get away with it and the judges are going to have to wrestle with
that I think I would enter in order that he has to stop he's ordered to stop falsely saying that
they had rigged the election and if he continues to do it put him in jail mark from the sack my
friend thanks for calling mark what's in your mind today I did all when you just said their math I
mean Rudy Rudy Giuliani needed to be made to pay the price you can't just keep he's just because
he's supposed to bankrupt now he can't continue to crime and say I'm not there's no consequences to it
and for these people making threats I mean any of these threats that to anyone should be should
be looked into by law enforcement and if that threat was made it needs to be prosecuted you know
that that I you know that it is just ridiculous that these people don't have the imagination you know
that that if they're just pleased with somebody you know they said I might just just pleasure
sometimes we go results in my hand some of these politicians I hope they never get a decent
night sleep and they're pursued by the the theories of Greek myth or the dreams are the subject
to the penalty of tantalists or Prometheus but I don't want anything actually physical to happen
to them but these people making death threats need to be they need to be held to account I don't
care if they just well I was drunk and I mean you know I was inspired by Donald Trump to do this
BS those people need to spend a little bit of time in jail for doing that yeah I couldn't
agree more and they they threatened the babies they threatened the kid the the relatives they
threatened the wives and that's a mafia tactic I mean it truly is a mafia tactic that can't be
countenance that cannot absolutely cannot be be tolerated and there aren't that many
prosecutions them because there's so many of these threats this guy's a walking threat he's a
walking crime scene the guy's a walking crime scene and so he will you'll say these things and
so far he's gotten away because judges are afraid to throw him in jail for contempt when he violates
a gag order and I if anybody else did this and there were that many death threats against his
enemies they would be criminally charged I think you know I guess the question is how many
criminal charges is for Jack Smith supposed to bring I mean he's bringing them in DC he's bringing
them in Marlago Fanny Wells is bringing them in Atlanta you know the Tisha James in New York I
mean the guy is a walking crime scene that's what he is Matt the middle to my friend thanks
to come Matt what's in your mind today hello mr. Flynn I called a while back about America and its
relationship to violence that I think it becoming clear that we're in trouble I think that if
Trump does come to power again with all he wants to do I think we will become a lot like Russia
in the sense that you know there will be no real rule of law and journalists will be targeted and
there'll be a lot more violence and we're already kind of used to violence and numb to it as a
country so I really fear that we're headed down a dark path I also want to just say that we shouldn't
feel like we're all that different than the people in China Russia or Germany who all suffered
whole horrors beyond our imagination because they followed the wrong man and they felt for bad ideas
and here we are again so thanks again for what you do and like to hear what you think right
great call Matt right and I think you're under something but I I'm gonna put a more optimistic
aspect to it in Germany once Hitler took office in China after Mao Zedong and in Russia after
Stalin now after Putin those countries with the exception of Germany for certainly Russian China
did not have the broad range of institutions that we have that I think are going to survive even a
Trump presidency although I want to stress he ain't going to win he ain't going to win he's a
thug in a criminal these betrayed us to Putin in the fact I don't care what the polls say now
they show Biden's very competitive in fact beating him in some areas and some polls beating him
totally but at some point the people in this country are not going to vote for a guy with
this much drama this was criminality and this much dishonesty I do not think in any of them
but see your point just take our military our military my view is incorruptible if you take a
look at the militaries in Russia and China and then in Germany sort of the pressure and military
tradition where they initially obeyed the chancellor no matter what but in this country in our
service academies in anapolis west point air force academy postcard academy merchant marine
academy it is drilled into them for the first day of classes that we are a country where the
military is run by civilians and they they're not to get involved in politics now if you have a
civilian Donald Trump who orders them to seize voting machines they're not going to do it the one
lapsen that was Lafayette Park if you remember in Lafayette Park where he went over to that church
and held up the bible and all that and General Milley walked with him in fatigues and Trump's
people beat up journalists smash cameras punch them that is very similar to one of these other
countries but it was pretty clear that he was contemplating telling the military to seize the
voting machines that would have happened in it did happen in Russia China and Germany that I
don't think would happen here number one number two our federal judiciary yes we have the six
torrentulas on the spring court yes we have the she wolf down in Marlago and we have this clown
in Amarillo Texas but by and large life time appointments and they are not in my judgment going
to cave the final thing is we have a media now yeah small presses that kind of thing can get bullied
but when you have the the networks ABC NBC CBS you have CNN the New York Times Washington Post
Wall Street Journal I do not believe that somebody like Trump will be able to boss them around
so we have some some core institutions that those countries even Germany as it turned out
didn't have the way they should have had it okay I want to talk right now about how the
the house is weaponizing the deal the budget deal that Kevin McCarthy and Joe Biden
entered into in the April May time period this year and they are beginning to realize
that that possibly gives them what they want there's a guy named Russ Voight V O I G H T who is
Trump's Office of Management and in budget chief he's a right wing not bad guy and he's advising
them he's advising Mark Johnson I don't think Mike Johnson I don't think Mike Johnson knows anything
but he's great at sliding around sliding around but remember something under the deal
that Trump and McCarthy went into an April 1 if there isn't a budget for the remainder of the year
there will be across the board cuts of 1% and that includes defense that includes everything
so in other words all the Republicans have to do is do another continued resolution
from January 19th for four of the agencies in February 2nd for the rest of them remember that was
the extension last time and just say April 1 then they get an automatic 1% cut from the
Pelosi budget which is what the continuing resolution would do now if on April 1 if that's
what they do they just put in a continuing resolution to limp along the April 1 non-defense spending
will have to be cut by 73 billion dollars defense spending will have to be cut by 26 billion
there's another benchmark in the deal if they limp along to the April 30 with the existing
budget and the continuing resolution the non-defense spending will fall by 43 billion
and defense spending by 10 billion well some of those figures believe it or not are the amounts
that the freedom caucus is targeting they don't necessarily like the defense cuts but they
certainly like the other one and chip Roy who's that very strange right wing guy he looks like
Lenin he has like a goatee and a mustache and very very hard eyes he looks exactly like Vladimir Lenin
but in any event he said just yesterday that if that's what happens if they just maybe they will
do a continuing resolution not shut down the government keep it going to April 1 he says quote
that would give us what the freedom caucus wanted all along end quote end quote now there are also
side deals that the House agreed to after Biden and McCarthy made their deal that if that happened
if the 1% automatic cuts kicked in on April 1 there was still be a side deal in certain things
Mike Johnson just came out and said he doesn't think that's enforceable
so then there'll be a negotiation nobody wants defense cuts not with Ukraine and Gaza
the Hamas invading Israel we're not we're not going to put up with defense cuts
and G threatening again to go into Taiwan we can't have that and then in the other hand they're
going to want on the other side not the draconian cuts in some some of the other discretionary
non-defense social service areas right now this is an absolute up in the air kind of shoot out
in the okay carol I mean everybody is sitting back and they're all you know think they're very
sly and they're going to do this and they can do that did it ever occur to the Republicans
that maybe do something good for America but through a budget to October 1st you idiots
but just stay tuned this is what is going to happen in my judgment this is very likely what's going to
happen coming up there was a swap with Venezuela for some prisoners with some interesting wrinkles and
overtones
Do you mind me? Blood in the steaks of town of Chicago. Blood on the rise.
Welcome back to Mad Plum Director. Lines are open 844-967-2789.
Well, we had a prisoner swap with Venezuela, and I'll tell you something. My entire life
If I had heard those words, I would have said, what? With Venezuela. I mean, Venezuela at one time
was the wealthiest country in South America, wealthier than Argentina and Chile.
They were oil, a member of OPEC, and they had a functioning government, and then Hugo Chavez took
over. He introduced a communist economy. He introduced a, he got rid of democracy,
rest people, kill people, steal money. Somehow they let them get away with it. They let
them get away with it. So we have a lot of Venezuelan refugees coming up here. Venezuelan
Venezuelan people are very hard working and very trustworthy, and we've got to square that
country away real quick. But here is what the swap was, and I think most of us haven't paid a lot
of attention to prisoners in Venezuela, but in the swap, six Americans that Maduro, he's the
successor to Chavez, six Americans, and then four others were released. They'd been there.
In addition, we released a guy named Alex Sob, just like the car, SAB, Alex Sob.
Mr. Sob took the liberty of stealing $350 million. He's an ally of Maduro, and I think Maduro
wanted him bad because Maduro is getting a slice of, Maduro is as crooked as a dog sign leg.
Crooked as a dog sign leg, and Maduro got a slice. I'm sure rather an hefty slice of the 350.
The money was stolen in Venezuela, so it didn't impact the United States, but he tried to put it
in the United States bank it here. That's the violation of our banking laws. So even though we didn't
want to give them up, you know, basically he's a corrupt individual going back to a corrupt
administration, and we got all these other people. And they wanted sanctions relief. We sanctioned
them. We sanctioned them. Not as bad as Russia, not as bad as Iran, and North Korea, but there are
sanctions that are really affecting Venezuela. And I think that's what Maduro had with all of this.
But there was one other prisoner that Maduro released. And this is a guy, I forgot about this guy.
And his name is Leonard Glen Franco, but his nickname is Fat Leonard. And that's how he's known.
Most people don't know his name. They know him as Fat Leonard. Fat Leonard was involved in the
largest US Navy bribery case in the history of our country. There's a lot of money, and somehow
he got to some naval people. And I think he's a Malaysian businessman, so it may have been over
somewhere in the Pacific, and he got them to help them steal money. And he was convicted.
2015, this happened, and then he was convicted. Somehow managed to slip away, and he got to
Venezuela, and he wanted to silence. But Maduro, of course, would stab his own grandmother in the
back for a bottle of horse radish. So Maduro stabbed them, figuratively speaking, and ship Fat Leonard
up here. So we will have the pleasure of feeding and housing Fat Leonard for quite a few years.
So that was the gist of what happened. What are the prospects of Venezuela returning to democracy?
What are the prospects of Cuba returning to democracy? What are the prospects of
Nicaragua returning to democracy? And some of the others are very shaky. I mean, Mexico is a
democracy, but it's a corrupt narco state where drug cartels essentially threaten and bribe and
own much of the government. One of the biggest challenges for American presidents going forward
is to restore South America and Central America to honesty, to democracy. Get rid of the
communists, get rid of the corrupt drug lords and all this business, and try to do it without
military intervention. That's a very tall order, but we've gone a little bit in the right direction
by getting back six Americans and four others by getting Fat Leonard back to throw him in the
who's gal around here. And what we did is we gave up Alex Sab who's a thief from Venezuela itself
and perhaps some sanctions relief. I'm not sure about how strongly that's going to impact this.
I'll tell you, there's a couple of other interesting things that have come up.
Interesting to see things that have come up. Voss, Robin Voss, just finally, finally grudgingly said,
well, it's, it looks like it's not likely that we're going to impeach
Janet Pro to save it. Well, okay guy, as if that's a huge accomplishment. He was originally
going to do it to pander to the Trump people in the state, pander to the right wing and all that.
And then some backers of Janet Pro to say was backers of the Democratic party and backers of
the Democratic party nationally put in a lot of money on TV ads showing how corrupt it would be
if a woman wins by 10 or 11 points. It was like 55 and a half to 44 and a half.
She wins massively, including Republican counties. She's a great judge.
A spring court race and they are floating impeachment before she got sworn in.
She was sworn in the beginning of August this year and they were talking about it in July.
And you know, it takes a criminal offense or a corrupt act in the office to do it.
As she had no criminal offense and she had no corrupts in the office because she hadn't taken
office. She had no acts at all. And so it was pretty clearly an attack on the peaceful transition
of power. Folks didn't like it. And I think that, you know, I've talked to some people in
Republican businessmen who they don't particularly like Trump because they want the peaceful transition
of power and the idea of impeaching somebody who wins a statewide election by more than 10 points.
The minute she wins the election before she can get sworn in, I did not sit well with them and
I think boss knew that. So, you know, stand by. He talked about impeaching vegan wolf,
you know, the executive director of the Wisconsin Election Commission and then a
Dane County judge put an injunction against them on that so they can't do that.
I suspect when Janet Florida say what's in the court issue, they're genuinely under opinion.
I have no idea what it's going to be. It's not an easy solution as to how you unravel this stuff.
I'm sure this kind of talk will be coming up again. Okay, I'll say what? A lot of news and weather
coming up and then not only does Trump double down on the poison blood business, the Hitler business,
the Mitch McConnell had a terrific response coming up.
