Hamas Protestors Storm the White House, Hunter Surrenders & ESPN CAUGHT Lying · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Center.
0:01
Speaker 2: Nice to be with you today, and we have got
0:04
Speaker 2: two major topics to talk about. Obviously, Hunter Biden and
0:07
Speaker 2: the possibility he may actually show up. I want to
0:09
Speaker 2: get your prediction on that, but not yet. Before we
0:11
Speaker 2: get to that, I want to deal with something that
0:13
Speaker 2: happened the White House and also the way that it's
0:16
Speaker 2: covered by the media. We had these pro Palestinian protesters
0:20
Speaker 2: trying to storm the White House. This has somehow become normal.
0:24
Speaker 2: That concerns me on its face, but we also had
0:28
Speaker 2: I think what was even more shocking is just how
0:30
Speaker 2: the media that did cover it kind of downplayed it, like, Oh,
0:33
Speaker 2: it wasn't that big of a deal. Yeah, they're pushing
0:35
Speaker 2: on fences, Yeah they're throwing bottles, Yeah they're saying blank
0:38
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. I worry about this from what could happen
0:41
Speaker 2: in the future, if this becomes the new norm.
0:43
Speaker 1: Does it concern you at all?
0:45
Speaker 3: So it does. This is a story of escalating extremism.
0:48
Speaker 3: This is a story of threats of violence. This is
0:51
Speaker 3: a story of law enforcement applying double standards. This is
0:55
Speaker 3: a story about our exposure to real and serious terrorism,
0:59
Speaker 3: and it's story about the media silencing any narrative they
1:05
Speaker 3: don't like. I just want to ask you this, as
1:07
Speaker 3: you're sitting here listening to this podcast over the weekend,
1:13
Speaker 3: did you watch any six o'clock news that said today
1:18
Speaker 3: prohamas protesters stormed the White House. You didn't, And there's
1:23
Speaker 3: the reason you didn't because none of the news covered it.
1:26
Speaker 3: But take a look at the video at what happened
1:28
Speaker 3: this week, and this is at the White House. So
1:45
Speaker 3: I got to say that that is some of the
1:47
Speaker 3: most concerted let's go, Brandon, I.
1:51
Speaker 1: Have ever heard. Yeah, let me.
1:53
Speaker 3: Ask you something. If the same scene had played out,
1:57
Speaker 3: except instead of screaming Fbiden, they screamed the same thing
2:02
Speaker 3: about Donald Trump, how do you think CNN would have
2:05
Speaker 3: handled it in.
2:06
Speaker 1: A very big, very different way.
2:08
Speaker 2: They would have actually covered it, probably wall to wall,
2:10
Speaker 2: probably live, probably would have been at the White House
2:13
Speaker 2: and showing it.
2:15
Speaker 3: You know, same thing, ABCNBCCBS. And yet when they agree
2:19
Speaker 3: with the protesters, it's not news. Now. There you see
2:22
Speaker 3: them screaming. There, you see them slamming into the fences
2:25
Speaker 3: that are guarding the White House. There you see them
2:27
Speaker 3: trying to push them over.
2:30
Speaker 2: You can see bottles being thrown over, rocks being thrown
2:34
Speaker 2: over for you guys that are listening to audio only,
2:36
Speaker 2: and they're throwing them at the White House complex and
2:39
Speaker 2: also at the Secret Service and Capitol police there.
2:42
Speaker 1: And this is the double standard I think as well.
2:45
Speaker 2: If a conservative group was doing this, it would also
2:49
Speaker 2: be wall to wall live coverage, certainly on cable television,
2:53
Speaker 2: that there was a you know, right to life group,
2:55
Speaker 2: which they wouldn't be doing this now.
2:57
Speaker 1: Throwing bottles, throwing rocks an end.
2:59
Speaker 2: They would be using the insurrection their favorite word, and
3:02
Speaker 2: they would be demanding that there would be lots of arrests.
3:05
Speaker 3: So let's be clear. If you walk out today and
3:08
Speaker 3: you walk out on any public street and you pick
3:10
Speaker 3: up a rock and you throw it at a police officer,
3:13
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen.
3:14
Speaker 2: You would hope that person I say hope because you
3:17
Speaker 2: never know anymore, would be arrested.
3:19
Speaker 3: In any sane world, they will throw your butt to
3:21
Speaker 3: the ground, they will put you in handcuffs, and they
3:23
Speaker 3: will arrest you. You don't get to throw rocks and
3:26
Speaker 3: bottles at police officers or at Secret Service agents. In
3:31
Speaker 3: this instance, we see the protesters in the video. For
3:34
Speaker 3: those of you that are not watching the video, there
3:36
Speaker 3: are multiple rocks. There are multiple bottles being flung over
3:39
Speaker 3: the fence straight at the law enforcement, and right in
3:41
Speaker 3: the background is the White House. I mean, this is
3:43
Speaker 3: right on the lawn of the White House where these
3:45
Speaker 3: protesters are throwing rocks, are throwing bottles. And then take
3:50
Speaker 3: a look at this next video.
3:54
Speaker 2: This is the one that concerns me the most because
3:57
Speaker 2: there seems to be real momentum center of of actually
4:00
Speaker 2: breaching the White House. They're trying to breach. They're screaming,
4:04
Speaker 2: break it down. You can hear them there. I mean,
4:10
Speaker 2: this is the mob is surging.
4:12
Speaker 3: So if you're not watching this video, there is temporary
4:16
Speaker 3: fencing erected outside the White House that they put up
4:18
Speaker 3: presumably because they knew that this protest slash riot was
4:22
Speaker 3: going to happen, and you see the mob surging and
4:25
Speaker 3: trying to tear it down. Now, they didn't succeed in
4:28
Speaker 3: this instance, although the public reports are that they damage
4:31
Speaker 3: the fencing, but they didn't manage to tear it down.
4:35
Speaker 3: But I got to say, if you're Hamas and you're
4:37
Speaker 3: watching this and you say, wait a second, it's that
4:40
Speaker 3: easy to almost tear down the fence that gives you
4:44
Speaker 3: access to the White House. What kind of invitation is
4:48
Speaker 3: that for terrorism especially? Look, all right, fine, you're throwing rocks,
4:53
Speaker 3: you're throwing bottles at police officers. You are trying to
4:57
Speaker 3: push down the gate, you're coming close to pushing down
4:59
Speaker 3: the fence vents. Actually, hold on. There's one more video
5:03
Speaker 3: you can see where they're climbing the fences. So take
5:04
Speaker 3: a look at this video.
5:08
Speaker 2: And also throwing things over the fencing. You can see
5:11
Speaker 2: them trying to remove a piece of the fencing there.
5:14
Speaker 2: If you're not getting to watch this, there's sections of
5:16
Speaker 2: this fencing and you can see where one of them
5:18
Speaker 2: has become disengaged from the other piece of the fence.
5:22
Speaker 2: And that's the weakest link now in this fence, and
5:24
Speaker 2: that's where all the Secret Service and Cavin Police apparently
5:27
Speaker 2: have surge to protect that so that people can't get
5:31
Speaker 2: through that basic gap where there's no weakness there.
5:35
Speaker 3: And there you can see one of the riders climbing
5:37
Speaker 3: the fence, trying to get over the fence. Look, on
5:40
Speaker 3: one level, we should be grateful there have been no
5:45
Speaker 3: reports of injuries of officers, so that's good. I'm very
5:48
Speaker 3: grateful that assuming there were no injuries that's a good thing.
5:52
Speaker 3: When you're flinging rocks and bottles at officers, that's an
5:54
Speaker 3: invitation to violence. And it may be that these protesters
5:58
Speaker 3: just have allows the aim. I don't know, But what
6:01
Speaker 3: is striking is in the face of this, what's also
6:03
Speaker 3: been reported is that there were zero arrests. So you
6:07
Speaker 3: can go and try to tear down the fence at
6:09
Speaker 3: the White House. You can go throw rocks, you can
6:11
Speaker 3: go and throw throw bottles, you can try to climb
6:14
Speaker 3: over the fence, and nothing happens to you. And contrast
6:18
Speaker 3: this to the massive expenditure of law enforcement efforts going
6:24
Speaker 3: after January sixth, after every peaceful protest. Mind you, the
6:29
Speaker 3: Department of Justice has made clear the US Attorney in
6:32
Speaker 3: DC has said they are going after and trying to
6:34
Speaker 3: prosecute people from January sixth who did not engage in
6:38
Speaker 3: violence and who did not enter the capitol. Yeah, so
6:42
Speaker 3: at this point they're saying, if you stood in a
6:44
Speaker 3: place that we've determined you're not allowed to stand, even
6:47
Speaker 3: though you didn't enter the capitol, even go to engage
6:49
Speaker 3: in no acts of violence, We're coming and breaking down
6:52
Speaker 3: your door and we're going to arrest you. It is
6:54
Speaker 3: at this point blatant, brazen. They are not hiding it.
6:58
Speaker 3: January sixth is their excuse to persecute the political opponents
7:03
Speaker 3: of the president. And let's be clear, Look, the same
7:06
Speaker 3: thing is true whether you're pro Trump, pro Biden, or
7:09
Speaker 3: pro Hamas or pro Black Lives Matter. If you are
7:13
Speaker 3: engaged in peaceful speech that is protected by the Constitution.
7:17
Speaker 3: If you are engaged in violence that is not what
7:22
Speaker 3: is striking here. They don't arrest you if they agree
7:26
Speaker 3: with what you're doing. In this scene at the White House,
7:29
Speaker 3: it's reminiscent of what happened at the courthouse, the Federal
7:31
Speaker 3: courthouse in Portland were night after night after night, there
7:34
Speaker 3: was an assault on the courthouse. There was an assault
7:37
Speaker 3: on the courthouse that involved throwing, throwing rocks, throwing projectiles
7:42
Speaker 3: at law enforcement, throwing essentially molotov cocktails and firebombs at
7:47
Speaker 3: the courthouse, using industrial strength lasers trying to blind law enforcement.
7:52
Speaker 3: There were multiple law enforcement officers injured at the Portland courthouse.
7:56
Speaker 3: And again, what did the local police do? Nothing? Because
7:59
Speaker 3: the Democrats there are perfectly willing to allow violent protesters
8:04
Speaker 3: to attack and injure law enforcement if they agree with
8:08
Speaker 3: their policies. The same thing is true here, and because
8:12
Speaker 3: the media is celebrating with these protesters, they're not telling
8:17
Speaker 3: you about this kind of assault at the White House.
8:19
Speaker 1: There's a national.
8:20
Speaker 2: Security aspect of this, and you mentioned a moment ago,
8:22
Speaker 2: but I go back to the opening scenes of the
8:25
Speaker 2: movie Argo, which is the true story about great movie
8:28
Speaker 2: by the.
8:28
Speaker 1: Way, phenomenal movie, and that opening scene.
8:30
Speaker 2: If you've never seen it, go watch it, and it's
8:33
Speaker 2: so realistic to what actually happened that day and Iran,
8:36
Speaker 2: where they were protesting day after day, and the protests
8:39
Speaker 2: that kept getting bigger, and then it was all of
8:41
Speaker 2: a sudden, get over the gate. Then it was the
8:44
Speaker 2: gates wid open, and then you had the entire hostage
8:47
Speaker 2: situation that took place.
8:49
Speaker 1: I see this.
8:49
Speaker 2: It's like you're one welled away from a fence breaking,
8:55
Speaker 2: a barrier breaking, and then it's all hell breaks loose,
8:58
Speaker 2: and yet we're tolerated it on a level that is
9:02
Speaker 2: terrifying to me from a national security standpoint. As you mentioned,
9:05
Speaker 2: what if you're Hamas, what if you're heads blah, what
9:08
Speaker 2: if your other terrorist groups that have come across the
9:10
Speaker 2: southern border you're learning from this, there's no way they
9:13
Speaker 2: don't watch this and learn from it.
9:15
Speaker 3: Look, that's exactly right, and it's important to understand the
9:19
Speaker 3: media angle. You know, a podcast we did a couple
9:22
Speaker 3: of months ago was entitled CNN is Hamas's Air Force.
9:27
Speaker 3: So is ABC, so is MSNBC. If you didn't watch
9:30
Speaker 3: or listen to that podcast, you ought to go back
9:33
Speaker 3: and listen to it. I was actually looking and it's
9:35
Speaker 3: one of our top ten podcasts we've ever produced, so
9:37
Speaker 3: people really downloaded it. That one is available on audio.
9:41
Speaker 3: All of our podcasts are available on audio, but that
9:43
Speaker 3: one we did just like this one we're doing right
9:45
Speaker 3: now as a video podcast, and so you ought to
9:48
Speaker 3: actually go download the YouTube. By the way, when you
9:51
Speaker 3: do it, subscribe to the podcast. You need to subscribe
9:54
Speaker 3: to places. Number one, you need to subscribe on YouTube
9:57
Speaker 3: that gets you the video podcast we do to typically
10:00
Speaker 3: one out of every three pods we do as video,
10:02
Speaker 3: and so those ones you can see what we're putting up.
10:06
Speaker 3: And then you also need to subscribe on audio, whether
10:08
Speaker 3: it's Apple or Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts,
10:11
Speaker 3: because all of our podcasts are audio. So if you
10:14
Speaker 3: just do YouTube or Rumble or some other video source,
10:17
Speaker 3: you'll only get a third of our podcast. If you
10:19
Speaker 3: do audio, you get all of them. But that particular
10:22
Speaker 3: podcast CNN is hamasa's air force. We played like a
10:26
Speaker 3: dozen stories from actual news stories. We put the video
10:30
Speaker 3: up and we walked through one at a time, one
10:32
Speaker 3: at a time. How Hamas has a strategy that they
10:37
Speaker 3: know the useful idiots in the media will be their
10:40
Speaker 3: propaganda arms. Will they will, They will amplify any story
10:45
Speaker 3: they can to make Israel look bad, to demonize the Israelis,
10:48
Speaker 3: to elevate the Hamas protesters. And so why is it.
10:52
Speaker 3: It's not an accident, It's not like you know, it
10:55
Speaker 3: was a really busy news day. This weekend was not
10:58
Speaker 3: that busy a newsday feature the Texans putting an ass
11:03
Speaker 3: whipping on Cleveland. Yes it did, and I'd be okay
11:06
Speaker 3: if that led the news everywhere, I'd be all right
11:09
Speaker 3: with that. Two pick six is what consecutively was spectacular.
11:13
Speaker 3: So look, if that wanted to be the lead headline
11:16
Speaker 3: for the weekend, that would be fine, but it wasn't.
11:18
Speaker 3: The reason CNM, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC didn't lead with
11:23
Speaker 3: this or even cover it on the news is because
11:26
Speaker 3: this narrative is inconvenient for what they want. This looks
11:29
Speaker 3: bad for hamas. Yeah, violently assaulting the White House. And
11:33
Speaker 3: let's be clear, they're not violently assaulting a building. The
11:36
Speaker 3: reason they are pressing the fence, trying to tear down
11:39
Speaker 3: the fence to the White House, trying to violently tear
11:42
Speaker 3: down the fence to the White House. The reason they
11:44
Speaker 3: are yelling f Joe Biden. They are threatening physical violence.
11:48
Speaker 3: That that that that should not be lost on anybody.
11:51
Speaker 3: These are people throwing rocks and bottles, They're They're not
11:54
Speaker 3: just waving signs. And in this instance, we also know
11:58
Speaker 3: that the White House caated number one reporters and number two.
12:02
Speaker 3: White House staff said all right, you guys need to
12:04
Speaker 3: move because this is dangerous.
12:06
Speaker 1: Inside the White House. Let's be very clear about that.
12:08
Speaker 3: Let me ask you something. If you're one of the
12:10
Speaker 3: reporters who was relocated, you know what, I'd like the
12:13
Speaker 3: names of every reporter was relocated, and I'd like to
12:15
Speaker 3: know did any one of them report on it? Yeah, Like,
12:18
Speaker 3: if you're a reporter and they tell you you're at
12:20
Speaker 3: the White House, you cannot stay where you are because
12:23
Speaker 3: you are not physically safe. Last I check. That's news.
12:26
Speaker 3: In a normal, sane world, that would be news. I
12:30
Speaker 3: promise you if the protesters were wearing Maga hats, it'd
12:34
Speaker 3: be news. Jake Tapper would be having a heart attack
12:38
Speaker 3: on air.
12:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what insurrection looks like. This is what
12:41
Speaker 2: they've learned from Donald Trump. This is a continuation of
12:44
Speaker 2: January sixth.
12:46
Speaker 3: And every reporter who was moved knows about it, every
12:50
Speaker 3: one of them. If you were told you're no longer
12:52
Speaker 3: safe where you are, they should report on this. But
12:56
Speaker 3: the reason they did, and as I said, go back
12:59
Speaker 3: and watch our pop if you didn't see an anas
13:01
Speaker 3: Amasa's air force, because this is deliberate and Hamas counts
13:05
Speaker 3: on their active assistance to undermine and attack Israel.
13:10
Speaker 2: Last question on this, and it goes back to a
13:12
Speaker 2: story we talked about earlier this week that also you
13:14
Speaker 2: know this Sunday is the biggest news day, right It's
13:17
Speaker 2: where all the talking heads get together, they do the
13:19
Speaker 2: biggest week you know, the week in review shows. On
13:21
Speaker 2: Sunday morning, there was a massive story and we covered it.
13:25
Speaker 2: No one else did that. There's a real concern now
13:29
Speaker 2: from the United States government that hes block could carry
13:31
Speaker 2: out attack inside the United States of America. That was
13:36
Speaker 2: also another story that was not covered as well that
13:40
Speaker 2: I think ties to these types of stories as well. Right,
13:42
Speaker 2: But you have a real concern now from within our
13:45
Speaker 2: US government that hes block could have people in this country.
13:48
Speaker 3: Already, the FBI keeps going to the White House saying
13:50
Speaker 3: this risk is real and it's growing.
13:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yet the media is also not covering that
13:55
Speaker 2: narrative as well. Don't the American people deserve to see
13:58
Speaker 2: that headline first and almost saying hey, look, there is
14:01
Speaker 2: an open border. There's a byproduct of this which is
14:04
Speaker 2: a national security issue. And now we have warnings going
14:07
Speaker 2: to the White House from the government that hesbelot could
14:10
Speaker 2: actively be planning some sort of significant attack within the
14:13
Speaker 2: United States of America in our border.
14:15
Speaker 3: Well. And when they see that this sort of protest
14:18
Speaker 3: slash riot can start to get violent, can try to
14:22
Speaker 3: tear down fences, can throw rocks and bottles, and nothing
14:25
Speaker 3: can happen to them. That is an invitation for terrorists
14:28
Speaker 3: to do worse. And when the media doesn't cover it,
14:31
Speaker 3: it makes it all the more likely.
14:33
Speaker 2: Want to tell you about our friend's over at Patriot
14:35
Speaker 2: Mobile for over ten years, Patriot Mobile has been the
14:39
Speaker 2: only Christian conservative cell phone provider in the country.
14:42
Speaker 1: I love them, I use them.
14:43
Speaker 2: When I look down at my cell phone in the
14:45
Speaker 2: top left, it says Patriot and that means I know
14:48
Speaker 2: every time I make a phone call, every time I
14:50
Speaker 2: send a text, and every time I pay my bill,
14:52
Speaker 2: I am actually supporting a company that stands my values.
14:56
Speaker 2: If you are sick and tired of giving your money
14:58
Speaker 2: to people that hate your values, Big Mobile. They don't
15:01
Speaker 2: like your conservative Christian values. In fact, many of them
15:04
Speaker 2: give massive donations to democratic candidates, causes and plan Parenthood.
15:09
Speaker 2: So stand with your values and vote with your dollars.
15:13
Speaker 2: Stand with a company that actually gives back. That's what
15:16
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile does. When you pay your bill and no
15:18
Speaker 2: extra cost to you, they give a percentage of your
15:21
Speaker 2: bill every month back to conservative causes, organizations that stand
15:26
Speaker 2: for First and Second Amendment rights, as well as the
15:29
Speaker 2: rights of unborn children. I can tell you get the
15:31
Speaker 2: same coverage you have right now. They use the same
15:34
Speaker 2: cell phone towers, So make the switch like I did
15:36
Speaker 2: a Patriot Mobile. You can call them. You can get
15:39
Speaker 2: free activation as well with the promo code Verdict. All
15:42
Speaker 2: you got to do is call them nine to seven
15:44
Speaker 2: to two Patriot. That's nine seven to two Patriot nine
15:48
Speaker 2: seven to two Patriot, or Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict.
15:54
Speaker 2: That's patriotmobile dot com slash verdict. Senator, I want to
15:58
Speaker 2: move to another story that this we was one that
16:02
Speaker 2: kind of made me laugh. Hunter Biden came to Congress,
16:05
Speaker 2: he had this stunt. He went to this committee hearing
16:08
Speaker 2: where they're going to hold him in contempt, and then
16:10
Speaker 2: he walks out. We found out that there were camera
16:12
Speaker 2: crews there for his documentary. Apparently he's trying to make
16:15
Speaker 2: money now off of this, which is pretty hilarious.
16:18
Speaker 1: And we also.
16:19
Speaker 2: Found out that he does, in fact know who's buying
16:21
Speaker 2: his art seventy to eighty percent of the people that
16:23
Speaker 2: are buying his art.
16:24
Speaker 1: Apparently he knows about the White House.
16:25
Speaker 2: Promised us they would all be anonymous so they couldn't
16:28
Speaker 2: buy influence over the White House.
16:31
Speaker 1: That was a massive lie. And now we've got a
16:34
Speaker 1: new letter.
16:34
Speaker 2: From his attorney saying, well, okay, we might come and testify,
16:39
Speaker 2: but you've got to give us new reasons to come
16:41
Speaker 2: testify and new requests to testify, because we say the
16:44
Speaker 2: other ones were invalid.
16:46
Speaker 1: It sounds pretty insane. Walk us through it.
16:48
Speaker 3: Well, Listen, this is either a massive retreat from Hunter
16:52
Speaker 3: Biden his legal team, or it's a legal game or.
16:55
Speaker 1: Both, or just part of a great documentary.
16:59
Speaker 3: Well be that could be. It may explain why he
17:02
Speaker 3: showed up at the hearing. Actually, and showing up at
17:05
Speaker 3: the hearing was an odd decision because it it had
17:09
Speaker 3: to have made Joe Biden deeply unhappy. It had to
17:11
Speaker 3: have made the White House deeply unhappy. They didn't like
17:13
Speaker 3: the pictures of him sitting there smugly while he's in
17:16
Speaker 3: the process of being held in contempt. It's it's not
17:19
Speaker 3: a good look if you're Joe Biden. That's not a
17:21
Speaker 3: good look. That kind of defiance, that that that kind
17:25
Speaker 3: of I am beyond reproach. That's not a good political
17:28
Speaker 3: story for the White House. So why did he do it? Well,
17:30
Speaker 3: this letter may give a key. So his lawyer wrote
17:34
Speaker 3: a letter to James Comber and a Jim Jordan, and
17:37
Speaker 3: he said, he says Number one, he says, look, Hunter
17:40
Speaker 3: did comply with your subpoena. And here's why he says
17:43
Speaker 3: he complied. He said, you know you're complaining that Hunter
17:47
Speaker 3: is seeking special treatment. But Hunter took you up on
17:51
Speaker 3: the offers you gave. And he says, for example, and
17:53
Speaker 3: he has two different quotes. He has one and these
17:57
Speaker 3: are quotes from James Comber. Quote number one quote, we're
18:02
Speaker 3: in the downhill phase of this investigation now because we
18:05
Speaker 3: have had so many documents and we can bring these
18:07
Speaker 3: people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose.
18:11
Speaker 3: And he italicizes whichever they choose. And then a second quote, quote,
18:16
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden is more than welcome to come in front
18:19
Speaker 3: of the committee. He's invited today. We will drop everything
18:22
Speaker 3: in front of the committee as italicized. And what Hunter
18:26
Speaker 3: argues is, in fact, I'll read the next paragraph from
18:29
Speaker 3: the letter, Obviously accepting your unqualified invitation to choose a
18:33
Speaker 3: forum for his testimony is neither seeking special treatment nor
18:37
Speaker 3: contemptuous behavior. Nevertheless, your actions demonstrate you were not serious
18:41
Speaker 3: about getting facts of the truth and simply wanted to
18:44
Speaker 3: stage some gotcha political theater and create another legal issue
18:47
Speaker 3: for mister Biden. Now that explains maybe why Hunter showed
18:52
Speaker 3: up is that his lawyers, and he's got very good,
18:55
Speaker 3: very experienced Washington lawyers, may have been trying to set
18:59
Speaker 3: this letter up and say, oh, look, you can't hold
19:01
Speaker 3: him in contempt because he showed up. He would have
19:03
Speaker 3: testified at a public hearing, and you said, give us a
19:06
Speaker 3: deposition or give us a hearing. That's clever. I think
19:09
Speaker 3: it's too clever by half. But that's their argument is
19:12
Speaker 3: we we tried to comply, we showed up, and you
19:14
Speaker 3: didn't take him up on it. That's argument number one.
19:17
Speaker 3: Argument number two he goes back early into the Trump
19:21
Speaker 3: impeachment inquiry when there was a big dispute about whether
19:24
Speaker 3: the subpoenas were valid to various witnesses involved in the
19:28
Speaker 3: Trump impeachment before the House of Representatives had voted to
19:32
Speaker 3: open an impeachment inquiry, and Republicans had argued, well, the
19:36
Speaker 3: House hasn't voted open an impeachment inquiry, so these subpoenas
19:38
Speaker 3: aren't valid. And what he argues is, well, you know,
19:41
Speaker 3: your subpoenas to Hunter were issued before the House had
19:44
Speaker 3: voted to open an impeachment inquiry. Remember, Kevin McCarthy at
19:47
Speaker 3: the outset said oh, we don't have the votes, so
19:49
Speaker 3: we're not going to vote to do that. Now. Subsequently
19:53
Speaker 3: they got the votes, and so they voted open an
19:55
Speaker 3: impeachment inquiry in the House has voted formally to authorize
19:59
Speaker 3: an impeachment inquory into Joe Biden and so, but what
20:02
Speaker 3: he argues is at the time you issued the subpoena
20:04
Speaker 3: as they were invalid because there was not a House vote.
20:08
Speaker 3: All of what leads up to the end of the
20:12
Speaker 3: letter where he says, quote, if you issue a new
20:15
Speaker 3: proper subpoena now that there is a duly authorized impeachment inquiry,
20:20
Speaker 3: mister Biden will comply for a hearing or deposition. We
20:27
Speaker 3: meaning the lawyers will accept such a subpoena on mister
20:30
Speaker 3: Biden's behalf. So what he's saying is all right, he'll
20:33
Speaker 3: show up either for a hearing or a deposition. Here's
20:37
Speaker 3: what I think the House should do. Look, on one level,
20:39
Speaker 3: they can be annoyed, they can be pissed. These are
20:41
Speaker 3: legal games, these legal arguments or technicalities. They're playing games.
20:45
Speaker 3: Here's my very strong advice. So what he's offering to
20:49
Speaker 3: show up, take him up on it. Take him up
20:51
Speaker 3: on it. Right now. The House is back on Tuesday.
20:54
Speaker 3: Issue the subpoena on Tuesday. You are hereby subpoena to
20:58
Speaker 3: show up for a deposition may get a very short window,
21:01
Speaker 3: make it a week. If they issue it on Tuesday,
21:04
Speaker 3: you are hereby subpoena to show up next Tuesday. You
21:08
Speaker 3: have one week. Now. Look, I can understand there will
21:11
Speaker 3: be some lawyers in the House saying, we don't need
21:13
Speaker 3: a new subpoena. Our other one was fine.
21:15
Speaker 1: So what.
21:17
Speaker 3: There'll be others who say, well, the House was getting
21:20
Speaker 3: ready to vote on a contempt hearing. For example, here's
21:24
Speaker 3: what Steve Scalise just tweeted out floor vote announcement with
21:28
Speaker 3: two red sirens. Next week, the House will vote to
21:31
Speaker 3: hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for repeatedly defying subpoenas.
21:36
Speaker 3: Enough of his stunts. He doesn't get to play by
21:39
Speaker 3: a different set of rules. He's not above the law.
21:41
Speaker 3: That may have been one of the major predicates that
21:44
Speaker 3: they're getting ready this week to vote on contempt. Here's
21:47
Speaker 3: my advice. Hold off a week, issue the subpoenas.
21:50
Speaker 1: Right now and say you got a week to show up.
21:52
Speaker 3: You've got a week to show up, and delay the
21:54
Speaker 3: contempt vote by a week. If he shows up, don't
21:56
Speaker 3: hold him in contempt. Remember, and this is what I
21:58
Speaker 3: would urget'sten James Comer is my friend. Jim Jordan is
22:02
Speaker 3: my friend. Steve Scalise is my friend. These are good guys.
22:04
Speaker 3: Remember remember, remember, Hunter Biden is not the target.
22:08
Speaker 1: It's the President of the United States of America.
22:11
Speaker 3: And why is that? Because the evidence is growing every
22:13
Speaker 3: day that the President of the United States is corrupt
22:16
Speaker 3: and so engaging in a year long battle with Hunter
22:19
Speaker 3: Biden about whether or not Subpoena number one was technically accurate.
22:23
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah.
22:24
Speaker 1: Who cares, Yeah, move on quickly.
22:26
Speaker 3: If we do that, If the House does that, they
22:29
Speaker 3: are playing into the White House's hands. That's what they want.
22:33
Speaker 3: They want a year of legal skirmishes over issues that
22:36
Speaker 3: don't matter. He says, if you give me a subpoena,
22:38
Speaker 3: I will show up issue it right now, say we accept.
22:42
Speaker 3: And by the way, I'd also say, fine, all right,
22:44
Speaker 3: you're really excited about doing a deposition, subpoena him for
22:48
Speaker 3: a deposition in a week, and subpoena him for a
22:52
Speaker 3: hearing in three weeks, like we need to get the
22:55
Speaker 3: hearing moving fast. You do the deposition in a week,
22:58
Speaker 3: a hearing in three weeks. You got two weeks to
23:00
Speaker 3: study everything from the deposition. But let's be clear, it
23:02
Speaker 3: is January already. The White House's strategy is very simple
23:07
Speaker 3: to lay this past election day, run out the clock,
23:09
Speaker 3: run out the clock, and so the House they're great guys,
23:13
Speaker 3: but they need to understand that the Democrats are fighting
23:17
Speaker 3: this like street fighters. They need to be smart and
23:20
Speaker 3: savvy and move forward. I don't know if he'll show
23:23
Speaker 3: up or not. This may be a ruse. If you
23:25
Speaker 3: issue the subpoena on Tuesday, you give him one week
23:27
Speaker 3: and he doesn't show up in one week, vote on
23:29
Speaker 3: the contempt the next day, like you can speed this up.
23:33
Speaker 3: But if he's offering to surrender, give him a chance
23:37
Speaker 3: to do so.
23:38
Speaker 2: Let's talk politics to the White House for this for a moment,
23:41
Speaker 2: because I don't believe that anybody in the White House
23:45
Speaker 2: that is the sane political operative. What if advised Hunter
23:50
Speaker 2: Biden to show up last week in Congress the way
23:53
Speaker 2: that he did. Yep, it brought a lot more I think,
23:56
Speaker 2: noise to the story.
23:58
Speaker 3: It made the news cover, it made the news.
23:59
Speaker 2: To their job, which and if it was for a documentary,
24:02
Speaker 2: that was incredibly stupid.
24:04
Speaker 1: I also don't know how much.
24:06
Speaker 3: Is it any stupider than smoking crack then.
24:10
Speaker 1: Your laptop in some guy's yeah place. Yeah Like.
24:13
Speaker 3: Look, I've never met Hunter Biden, but I think it's
24:16
Speaker 3: fair to say he's not going to be granted honorary
24:18
Speaker 3: MENSA membership anytime soon. I would agree he has made
24:22
Speaker 3: a series of life choices that were suboptimal, and many
24:27
Speaker 3: of those life choices were disastrously bad for Daddy. Now,
24:32
Speaker 3: to be clear, just taking that narrative on its face
24:35
Speaker 3: is not the right way to look at it, because
24:37
Speaker 3: if you just say, you know, poor Joe Biden has
24:40
Speaker 3: anir to well Son, you know, Unfortunately, Look that happens,
24:43
Speaker 3: and parents don't control the acts of their children anymore
24:48
Speaker 3: than children control the acts of their parents. The reason
24:51
Speaker 3: this is a matter of public concern, and I want
24:53
Speaker 3: to keep underscoring it because it's easy to lose focus.
24:57
Speaker 3: It's not Hunter Biden's drug problem. It's not his own
25:01
Speaker 3: personal criminal activity. If his name were Hunter Smith, no
25:05
Speaker 3: one would care. The reason it matters is because the evidence,
25:11
Speaker 3: I think is now overwhelming that he had a business
25:15
Speaker 3: for years, for decades of selling favors from Daddy. That
25:20
Speaker 3: is official corruption. Daddy was the vice President of the
25:23
Speaker 3: United States. Daddy is now the President of the United States,
25:26
Speaker 3: and the evidence is growing that it's not just Hunter profiting,
25:28
Speaker 3: it's the entire family. It is millions of dollars, it
25:31
Speaker 3: is shell corporations, it is money laundering, that this is
25:35
Speaker 3: a family business. You know the phrase the Biden crime family.
25:39
Speaker 3: I used to not like that. In fact, you and
25:40
Speaker 3: I on this podcast, you would use that phrase, and
25:43
Speaker 3: I was hesitant to go down there. And I gotta admit,
25:45
Speaker 3: is the evidence is piled up. If it ain't that,
25:48
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but it sure you know,
25:50
Speaker 3: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,
25:52
Speaker 3: that's a duck, dammit. And so what I would encourage
25:57
Speaker 3: House Republicans is remember the focus, the reason this matters
26:01
Speaker 3: is official corruption by the President of the United States.
26:04
Speaker 3: Everything else. Hunter, at the end of the day, is
26:08
Speaker 3: a witness. He is a co conspirator, he is a criminal,
26:10
Speaker 3: but he is also a witness to the corruption by
26:14
Speaker 3: the officeholder. And that's where the focused.
26:17
Speaker 2: And that brings me back to the question about the
26:18
Speaker 2: White House we saw. I think I don't know how
26:22
Speaker 2: much the presence honestly involved in this I think you
26:24
Speaker 2: would probably agree with me on that. I don't know
26:26
Speaker 2: if he's picking up the phone saying yeah, go show
26:28
Speaker 2: show up to his son.
26:30
Speaker 1: I okay, I think no, I don't know.
26:33
Speaker 2: I don't know because I don't know how much he's
26:35
Speaker 2: even involved in the in the real strategies.
26:37
Speaker 3: Here, because nobody focused on Joe Biden's political interest and
26:41
Speaker 3: I do believe Joe Biden is very interested in Joe
26:44
Speaker 3: Biden's political interests, would advise Hunter to do that? That
26:48
Speaker 3: was a decision that hurt the White House?
26:50
Speaker 2: Well, then, and that's where I go back to, how
26:53
Speaker 2: concerned do you think they are that if he testifies,
26:56
Speaker 2: he might be unhinged enough to say something stupid, Because
27:00
Speaker 2: as we saw Joe Biden, the first Lady came out.
27:02
Speaker 2: We played this earlier this week in one of our
27:04
Speaker 2: episodes go back and listen to it. Joe Biden came out,
27:07
Speaker 2: did a one on one interview and talked about this
27:10
Speaker 2: and talked about you know, their son, and well, he's
27:14
Speaker 2: an addict and you should feel sorry for him. And
27:16
Speaker 2: in fact, she accused Republicans saying, how dare you put
27:19
Speaker 2: him through this pain of having to answer these questions
27:22
Speaker 2: you're picking on him.
27:23
Speaker 1: Stop it.
27:24
Speaker 3: How dare your husband sell influence and sell favors? How
27:27
Speaker 3: dare your husband make make and your family make millions
27:30
Speaker 3: of dollars not from our friends, but from corrupt oligarchs
27:33
Speaker 3: in communist China and Russia and Ukraine. This is this
27:37
Speaker 3: is about official corruption. And they're going to try to
27:40
Speaker 3: play the sympathy card and says it's just substance abuse. No,
27:45
Speaker 3: if that were it, you should send him to rehab.
27:48
Speaker 3: It's not just substance abuse. The evidence here is of
27:51
Speaker 3: official corruption. That's why it matters. And so again, I
27:56
Speaker 3: can't underscore this more. We said this when James Comer
27:58
Speaker 3: was on the podcast. The White House wants this to
28:02
Speaker 3: be delayed with all sorts of ancillary legal battles. Was
28:06
Speaker 3: this poena valid? Was that subpoena valid? Who's on first?
28:09
Speaker 3: What's on second? Like anything other than the question what
28:13
Speaker 3: did Joe Biden know and what and when did he
28:15
Speaker 3: know it? What did he make? What was his role?
28:18
Speaker 3: They want to protect Joe Biden. And if we're fighting
28:20
Speaker 3: over other issues, we're not focused on Joe Biden. So
28:24
Speaker 3: is it fair that he can move the goalpost and say, oh,
28:28
Speaker 3: I don't like that's poena, but I like this the
28:30
Speaker 3: poena No, but who cares? You're going to show up? Yes,
28:33
Speaker 3: we accept, and if you don't in a week, we'll
28:36
Speaker 3: hold you in contempt.
28:37
Speaker 2: All right, real quick, though, let's talk about your finances.
28:40
Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty four and a lot of us are
28:43
Speaker 2: trying to get our finances in order. There are some
28:46
Speaker 2: great news for homeowners. Interest rates have dropped and are
28:49

Speaker 2: details about credit costs and terms. All right, lastly, I
29:57
Speaker 2: do have to ask you about a story. And you
30:00
Speaker 2: love sports as much as I love sports. I watched
30:04
Speaker 2: a lot of sports. It's my way of just, you know,
30:06
Speaker 2: disconnecting from the political world. There was one story this
30:10
Speaker 2: week that just made me so happy that ESPN got busted.
30:14
Speaker 2: The same people that are so sanctimonious about anybody that
30:17
Speaker 2: they think might be doing something wrong in sports, and
30:20
Speaker 2: they got all in on the Black Lives Matter and
30:22
Speaker 2: all the kneeling protests and stood behind people that were kneeling.
30:27
Speaker 2: So this happened this week. ESPN took awards won by
30:32
Speaker 2: imaginary people whose names they submitted on purpose, so John Do,
30:38
Speaker 2: Jane Doo right, people that didn't work for them, didn't
30:40
Speaker 2: even exist, they knew didn't exist, and then had these
30:44
Speaker 2: awards after they won, re engraved to give quote on
30:48
Speaker 2: air personalities statues. ESPN awarded the trophies to front facing
30:55
Speaker 2: figures to give them more clout so this was like
30:58
Speaker 2: a clear conspiracy to raise, you know, the stature of
31:02
Speaker 2: their own on air people. They gave these figures to
31:05
Speaker 2: college game day hosts such as Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreet,
31:09
Speaker 2: Chris Fowler, Desmond Howard, and Sam Ponder. This is because
31:14
Speaker 2: quote hosts were not eligible to be honored in a
31:18
Speaker 2: credit list until twenty twenty three. Now, this scheme was
31:22
Speaker 2: something that went on, not for like a year or two,
31:25
Speaker 2: went on for decades. What happened, well until twenty twenty three.
31:30
Speaker 2: They said, we were just trying to give them what
31:32
Speaker 2: we thought was so they needed. They're now being forced
31:35
Speaker 2: to give the statues back. I got to get your
31:37
Speaker 2: reaction to it. It's amazing.
31:39
Speaker 3: Well, listen, like a lot of sports fans, ESPN pisses
31:43
Speaker 3: me off. ESPN pisses me off because they've decided in
31:46
Speaker 3: recent years that they don't actually really care about sports.
31:48
Speaker 3: They care about woke politics, and so they spend it
31:51
Speaker 3: seems more time lecturing us about their radical politics than
31:55
Speaker 3: actually covering sports, like watching amazing plays, watching great catches
31:59
Speaker 3: in the end zone, watching you know, tomahawk dunks or
32:02
Speaker 3: crushing blocks, or you know, amazing Grand Slam hits. I mean,
32:07
Speaker 3: sports is is fun to watch, but they've said, no, no, no,
32:11
Speaker 3: we're political commentators. We're left wing, and you know what,
32:15
Speaker 3: MSNBC is not woke enough for us. We can be
32:18
Speaker 3: to the left of MSNBC. And it pisses me off
32:21
Speaker 3: because most sports fans are not hardcore Marxist. We're watching
32:24
Speaker 3: it because we enjoy it, and so ESPN it is
32:29
Speaker 3: almost worth watching it on mute. I don't quite do that,
32:33
Speaker 3: because you do learn when they cover sports, you occasionally
32:36
Speaker 3: learn some interesting things, and so I like, you know,
32:38
Speaker 3: I like hearing the commentary of you know so and so.
32:40
Speaker 3: This is, for example, the the Cleveland Browns, I learned
32:44
Speaker 3: when the Texans were winning, were the first team in
32:47
Speaker 3: twenty years to make the playoffs after leading the NFL
32:50
Speaker 3: in turnovers. Did you know that?
32:51
Speaker 1: I did not know that.
32:52
Speaker 3: It's it that's kind of interesting, you know at FLACCOH Look,
32:55
Speaker 3: Flack is a very good quarterback. He just has a
32:57
Speaker 3: bad habit of throwing interceptions. But he's still he's an
33:00
Speaker 3: old dude. So I sort of like watching old dudes
33:02
Speaker 3: that are not not yet uh put out that.
33:05
Speaker 1: Habit as long as he's on the other team. I
33:07
Speaker 1: love that habit.
33:08
Speaker 3: It was they weren't interceptions, they were great passes to
33:11
Speaker 3: our defenders and needed needed to score. Our defense almost
33:14
Speaker 3: outscored the offense. I mean that was the fourteen points
33:17
Speaker 3: from the d is pretty good. All right. Anyway, that's
33:20
Speaker 3: commentary you like to hear. That's kind of an interesting
33:22
Speaker 3: FACTOI and it's like, huh, I didn't know that. But
33:26
Speaker 3: instead ESPN just yabbers on and it's a corporate decision.
33:31
Speaker 3: Corporate It's I don't even I remember. I remember when
33:34
Speaker 3: I saw the change in real life. You remember on
33:36
Speaker 3: ESPN too, they used to show Cole Pizza. They would
33:39
Speaker 3: have on guests.
33:40
Speaker 2: I was a guest that did that show regularly, and
33:43
Speaker 2: I did it when there was a controversy that was
33:45
Speaker 2: quasi kind of like political in nature with it with sports,
33:49
Speaker 2: and they used to have both sides, and then all
33:50
Speaker 2: of a sudden they said, hey, we basically ban all conservatives.
33:53
Speaker 3: Yeah. But by the way, I'm curious, check me on this.
33:57
Speaker 3: When when Daily Wire came out with their movie Lady Baller,
34:01
Speaker 3: in which yours truly has a cameo. Now it's a
34:04
Speaker 3: sports movie. It's a sports movie.
34:06
Speaker 2: I wonder if you'll get an Emmy for that, Like
34:07
Speaker 2: if they because that's a real name, they could at
34:09
Speaker 2: least nominate, right, But.
34:11
Speaker 3: My question, did ESPN cover the movie Lady.
34:14
Speaker 1: Ballers, which was a sports movie. They should have at
34:16
Speaker 1: least mentioned it.
34:17
Speaker 3: It's a sports movie. It's really funny. It's like dodgeball.
34:19
Speaker 3: It's really funny. The premise of Lady Ballers, which if
34:22
Speaker 3: you haven't watched it, you ought to go watch it
34:25
Speaker 3: because you'll laugh. It's well done. I have a tiny cameo,
34:28
Speaker 3: so my part is completely inconsequential. But the premise is
34:31
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys in their forties who, when they
34:33
Speaker 3: were in high school where the state champion in basketball,
34:36
Speaker 3: decide to pretend they're women and dominate women's basketball. It's
34:42
Speaker 3: really damn funny. It's amazing no one's made this movie
34:44
Speaker 3: for twenty years because it's an obvious premise, but they
34:47
Speaker 3: do it.
34:48
Speaker 1: Beauty, very predictable movie that should have been made.
34:51
Speaker 3: But no one would. And by the way, most Hollywood
34:53
Speaker 3: actors won't participate in it because they'd be blackballed for
34:56
Speaker 3: daring to laugh at the idio ces of the woke
35:00
Speaker 3: left well. ESPN would never acknowledge it exists, but we
35:04
Speaker 3: now know, and this story is amazing that ESPN in
35:08
Speaker 3: addition to being woke leftist propagandists, they are liars. They
35:14
Speaker 3: are engaged in.
35:15
Speaker 1: That active from decades.
35:16
Speaker 3: And understand what this lie is. It's really quite stunning.
35:20
Speaker 3: So they're submitting to an award show to win awards,
35:24
Speaker 3: and they're asked to list all of the crew. So
35:27
Speaker 3: if we give you an award, who deserves it and
35:30
Speaker 3: they just for decades put fake names there. Yeah, now
35:34
Speaker 3: they want a bunch of these awards, and so they'd
35:37
Speaker 3: get the award statues with a fake name. You know,
35:40
Speaker 3: you might say that is a Mickey Mouse award, Well,
35:42
Speaker 3: it might have been a Mickey Mouse award. It might
35:43
Speaker 3: have been awarded to Mickey Mouse. Because they just they
35:47
Speaker 3: made up names of human beings that don't exist, not
35:50
Speaker 3: even people that didn't work on the show. Just totally
35:53
Speaker 3: made up names. And why did they do it? Because
35:56
Speaker 3: they wanted the little statuette.
35:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Emmy's a big deal.
35:59
Speaker 3: To pull the name plateed off and put somebody else's
36:04
Speaker 3: name that was their on air talent, and their on
36:06
Speaker 3: air talent was ineligible. And understand ESPN is being forced
36:10
Speaker 3: to return. I think it's thirty thirty seven, thirty seven,
36:13
Speaker 3: thirty seven.
36:14
Speaker 2: So they were ordered ESPN to return a total of
36:16
Speaker 2: thirty seven trophies, each of which was intended for a
36:19
Speaker 2: behind the scenes employee who does not exist. Former ESPN
36:23
Speaker 2: reporter Shelley Smith told The New York Times that in
36:27
Speaker 2: May of twenty twenty three, executive Stephanie Dooley ordered her
36:32
Speaker 2: to return her two Sports Emmy statues. Duley apparently told
36:36
Speaker 2: her that it was a serious matter and that the
36:38
Speaker 2: reason must stay between them.
36:40
Speaker 1: So it wasn't just that they got busted.
36:42
Speaker 2: There was in a cover up to make sure that
36:44
Speaker 2: the story didn't go public after they were ordered to
36:47
Speaker 2: get back the thirty seven.
36:48
Speaker 3: Try So, Ben, I'm gonna go online and I'm gonna
36:50
Speaker 3: see if you can order a fake Emmy, and I'm
36:52
Speaker 3: going to order a fake Emmy with the name Mickey Mouse.
36:55
Speaker 3: And then when it arrives, I'm gonna take Mickey Mouse
36:57
Speaker 3: off and I'm gonna put Ben Ferguson on.
36:59
Speaker 2: I love it you won for Lady Ballers, and I'll
37:01
Speaker 2: just make it up because.
37:03
Speaker 3: We but I want to put the Emmy up our
37:05
Speaker 3: Emmy award winning podcast because you know what, we won
37:08
Speaker 3: as many Emmys as the on air talent ESPN did it.
37:12
Speaker 3: They are literally fraudulent liars. And let me ask you
37:16
Speaker 3: a question. For every on air talent who had the
37:19
Speaker 3: statue in his office, who had it on TV, how
37:23
Speaker 3: many of them have apologized? How many of them have
37:25
Speaker 3: gone on air and said, you know what, I went
37:27
Speaker 3: on TV with an Emmy behind me that I didn't win,
37:29
Speaker 3: and it was fake and it was fraudulent, and I'm
37:31
Speaker 3: sorry for lying to you. And by the way, if
37:33
Speaker 3: their claim is we didn't know, how many of them
37:36
Speaker 3: have said I want to apologize. I didn't know, but
37:39
Speaker 3: my bosses did yea, And my bosses put it up
37:42
Speaker 3: because they were lying to you. They claimed to be
37:44
Speaker 3: a journalistic outlet, but they are engaged in fraud and
37:47
Speaker 3: they're lying to you. As far as I can tell,
37:50
Speaker 3: there has been zero journalistic integrity nobody at ESPN.
37:54
Speaker 1: Time, and there's a cover up.
37:57
Speaker 2: That's the best part of the story is not only
37:59
Speaker 2: were they busted, but ESPN executives are saying this has
38:02
Speaker 2: to stay between you and I. I need your Emmy back,
38:04
Speaker 2: and don't talk about it. Don't tell anybody. I need
38:07
Speaker 2: it back quickly. We don't want anybody in the public
38:09
Speaker 2: to find out we were doing this for decades.
38:11
Speaker 3: By the way, I really want to know the names
38:13
Speaker 3: of the fake employees, like how good they were? Yeah,
38:16
Speaker 3: did they do John Doe? Did they do Mickey Mouse?
38:19
Speaker 3: Did they do who flung dou Like? Like like what
38:21
Speaker 3: what kind of you know, peaking duck? Like what what
38:24
Speaker 3: kind of names did they go with? That would be
38:27
Speaker 3: great to know. I feel confident we will never know
38:29
Speaker 3: because ESPN and their parent company will do everything they
38:32
Speaker 3: can to say nothing to see here.
38:34
Speaker 2: This is Disney, right, Just just want to throw that
38:36
Speaker 2: out there, right, Does I think that's right?
38:39
Speaker 1: So to be fair, maybe Mickey Mouse Sickey Mouse distressed.
38:43
Speaker 3: Maybe they gave the name plate to Mickey Mouse. So
38:46
Speaker 3: it was a two fer it, you know, the Seven
38:48
Speaker 3: Dwarves all one Emmys.
38:50
Speaker 1: Sleepy got one. I like that.
38:52
Speaker 2: Well done, Well done to ESPN, good job trying to
38:55
Speaker 2: cover it up, And I'm so glad they got roasted.
38:57
Speaker 2: Don't forget we do this show. Monday was a Friday.
38:59
Speaker 2: Please make sure. And the algorithms have changed. On Apple
39:02
Speaker 2: you hit that follow button, you have to check back
39:04
Speaker 2: they've changed it. Some of you have been complaining that
39:07
Speaker 2: you're not auto downloading the show anymore. You have to
39:09
Speaker 2: manually go in and hit that follow button or subscribe.
39:12
Speaker 3: By the way, I can I jump in and say
39:14
Speaker 3: something you told me today, which is weird. Yes, okay,
39:16
Speaker 3: I'm giving no commentary as to why, but apparently the
39:19
Speaker 3: empirical data is that women, God bless you are much
39:23
Speaker 3: more effective about hitting subscribe over and over again, which
39:26
Speaker 3: is thank you, because Apple's messing with you and you
39:28
Speaker 3: got to hit subscribe over and over again. And for
39:30
Speaker 3: whatever reason, women do this, but men are dufuses and don't.
39:35
Speaker 3: And so I want to speak to men prove Ben wrong.
39:38
Speaker 3: Ben Ferguson says, you're a dufus. I want to stand
39:42
Speaker 3: in for the show. And I was like, You're like, what,
39:44
Speaker 3: why is this happening?
39:45
Speaker 2: The algorithm jam like, look, all I know is are
39:47
Speaker 2: saying women are much more focused and supporting shows by
39:51
Speaker 2: making sure they're subscribe, and men are dropping off, and
39:54
Speaker 2: and they're like that's just the way it is.
39:57
Speaker 3: But you know what, unlike men, I believe in men.
40:01
Speaker 1: I will let you throw me under the bus on
40:02
Speaker 1: that one.
40:02
Speaker 3: There.
40:03
Speaker 1: It is we'll see you back here.
