Radio Show Hour 1 – 05/15/2024

[00:00:00] . Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West. You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:00:22] All right. Happy to have you along my fellow Americans. Sam Bushman live on your radio. Hard-hitting news the networks refuse to use no doubt.

[00:00:33] The Radio Talk Show starts now, ladies and gentlemen. This is the broadcast for May the 15th of the Year of Our Lord 2024.

[00:00:41] This is our one of two in the goal always to protect life, liberty and property to promote God, family and country.

[00:00:48] Do so on your radio in the traditions of our founding fathers. Yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:00:54] We got a lot of work to do when it comes to preserving the Republic.

[00:00:59] Wow. Many are saying it's not even possible. Secession is our only choice. I get their point.

[00:01:05] It's sad to say, but I also have to hang on to the best government we've ever had.

[00:01:10] Even though we've got a lot of problems today, the best government we've ever had is under the Supreme Law, the land, the Constitution with the United States of America.

[00:01:17] There's no debating that. There's never been a time in history that you can point to that there's been more liberty for more people.

[00:01:23] However, as we turn against God, it seems like we just about lose everything.

[00:01:29] Welcome to the broadcast. I've got my buddy James Edwards with me. ThePoliticalSesspool.org is his website.

[00:01:35] His award winning broadcast every Saturday night or on demand anytime you like at ThePoliticalSesspool.org.

[00:01:41] He's a talk show host. He's an author and a dear friend. Welcome to the broadcast, sir.

[00:01:46] Good morning, Sam. As always, great to be here.

[00:01:51] There is so much to talk about. It's hard to even know what to focus on here, James. But let's start out with this issue here.

[00:01:58] I guess the reality of the Donald Trump case, he's got the day off in court.

[00:02:03] I don't understand why in court they take days off every other day, but that's what they do.

[00:02:07] And they just drag these cases on and on. They're just insane. It kind of reminds me of government in Congress.

[00:02:12] They're always in recess. Well, these clowns are taking days off court left and right.

[00:02:17] Nobody gets that. And I know what they say is, well, we've got to have the prosecution and the defense and everybody's got to have time to kind of recalibrate based on, no, it's time to go people.

[00:02:26] When you play sports, you don't just sit down and play the first half and then, hey, a week later, play the second half of the game.

[00:02:32] No, you're in, buddy. And you know what? That's part of the contest.

[00:02:36] Part of the reality is being able to have the stamina to work through it.

[00:02:40] Put Michael Cohen back on the stand and grill that sucker down like nobody's business.

[00:02:45] Don't give him time to recalibrate. Don't give him time to breathe.

[00:02:48] Don't give him time to set up more lies. Just nail it to the wall and get her done.

[00:02:54] Donald Trump speaking out saying he had a great day yesterday in court. And boy, howdy did he.

[00:02:59] The cases are falling apart left and right just about everywhere against the Donald James.

[00:03:04] But I got a little cut. I'm going to play.

[00:03:06] The Patriots have long said that this is a witch hunt against the Donald. This is insane.

[00:03:11] You know what? They don't have a leg to stand on. This is interfering with the elections.

[00:03:15] It's election integrity problems. And they went, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:03:19] Now they're finally admitting that it is this whacked out press secretary Jean Pierre, whatever her name is, was literally speaking about it.

[00:03:27] And she admitted it. Here is the audio.

[00:03:30] Was it appropriate for Speaker Johnson to show up at the trial of the former president?

[00:03:35] So, look, I can't speak to don't want to comment.

[00:03:40] Obviously, as this is related to 2024 elections and I can't speak to the speakers scheduled.

[00:03:47] That is something for him to decide on.

[00:03:50] James, let's just start out. She just literally admitted that it's tied to the elections and she can't speak about it.

[00:03:58] Well, if it's tied to the elections and she can't speak about it, how can they claim that it's not election interference or election involvement?

[00:04:04] They can't have it both ways. She just admitted it, James.

[00:04:07] Well, I mean, just look at the timing of it all, Sam.

[00:04:10] I mean, it's undeniable. It's not even up for debate.

[00:04:13] All of the things for the White House to admit it's another level, though.

[00:04:17] Well, I mean, how could they not? I mean, I guess they could continue to deny.

[00:04:21] But that's all of the things.

[00:04:24] Well, that's true.

[00:04:26] But all of them just pointing out it is a sea change, right?

[00:04:29] Well, I mean, you know, maybe it is.

[00:04:33] I guess as far as that goes or perhaps that was just an unintentional moment of honesty that slipped out.

[00:04:43] And that could have certainly been the case as well. We'll see where they go from here.

[00:04:46] But I mean, that's what's going to tell the tale. Do they go against her narrative where it slipped out?

[00:04:50] So Bob, over at WND.com is where I got this and other many are saying it now.

[00:04:56] Either this just slipped out and they're going to stay with their dishonest narrative against her statements

[00:05:00] or they're going to start to admit it now. What do you think they'll do, James?

[00:05:05] It could go either way as to whether or not they continue to tell the truth.

[00:05:09] I mean, it's not something that they're certainly known for.

[00:05:12] But you look at all of the things that they're going after Trump for in New York and Georgia,

[00:05:21] you know, potentially in D.C. and all of those are things that they could have gone after him for years ago.

[00:05:28] Two years ago, four years ago, you know, for the most part, even with the Stormy Daniel stuff going back to 2016, for God's sake.

[00:05:36] So the fact that they all hit in this perfect storm of this convergence of Trump and court up and down the Eastern seaboard

[00:05:45] after he announces that he's running again and after he becomes the front runner.

[00:05:50] I mean, that's pretty transparent and raw and naked abuse of power.

[00:05:56] But I think on the other hand, I have an evolving theory here, Sam.

[00:06:04] I don't know if it'll stick to the wall or if I'm just overthinking this thing.

[00:06:09] But you pointed out that Trump seems to be skating in court a little bit, a little bit more than I thought he might a year ago, at least so far.

[00:06:19] Now, all of these things could still go down the line.

[00:06:22] I'll tell you that right now.

[00:06:24] He's going to have long gone on these babies.

[00:06:26] That's right.

[00:06:27] Now, my friend, you got to know that you got to understand all that.

[00:06:31] OK, well, you probably don't rise to become a real estate magnate in New York without being something.

[00:06:37] But in any event, Fonny Willis says, you know, she's coming back strong and they're going to try to, you know, really pin him down there.

[00:06:44] She's about to be dismissed, my friend.

[00:06:47] We'll see.

[00:06:48] The too good to be true stuff normally is, but I certainly wouldn't be upset to see that happen.

[00:06:56] But there's probably another one just as corrupt waiting right a few steps behind her.

[00:07:01] Now let's talk about what the Fonny Willis case is about for a second.

[00:07:04] What's that about?

[00:07:08] God, I don't even remember anymore.

[00:07:09] Is it about Trump saying he needed to find a few extra votes in Georgia?

[00:07:14] Yeah, that's what they claim.

[00:07:16] But now we've already proven in several ways that the Georgia issue is a fraud, James.

[00:07:23] Well, they got caught showing that there's all kinds of votes now in Georgia that were improperly counted and everything else.

[00:07:30] This is beyond debate now.

[00:07:31] They're admitting to it.

[00:07:33] Well, this actually gets to the point that I was going to make.

[00:07:35] I think there's clear evidence of election fraud in 2020 now, whether it was enough to swing these swing states.

[00:07:44] I mean, in Georgia, it was such a razor thin margin.

[00:07:46] That's the one that's getting somewhat scrutiny.

[00:07:48] But we'll never know because Congress abdicated its stated intent in pursuing the truth there because a few folks with granny packs walked around and then they said, well, you know, why do we need to get to the bottom of this now?

[00:08:03] Obviously, after this, they should their constitutional duty.

[00:08:06] That's for sure.

[00:08:07] So but so I think you could certainly say that vote fraud played a major role in 2020, the extent to which we'll honestly never know.

[00:08:18] Everybody has their opinion on it.

[00:08:21] Now fast forwarding to 2024, though, I submit to you because of the heavy handed tactics of 2020 and because the media has lost so much credibility in its portrayal of Donald Trump as this racist, this fascist, this Nazi.

[00:08:38] I mean, all the things that he's really not.

[00:08:40] The media has shed a lot of legitimacy.

[00:08:44] What little it had.

[00:08:45] It's all gone.

[00:08:46] The election process itself in the country, which is so important to keeping this thing together.

[00:08:52] I mean, everybody has to believe that they're a stakeholder in the decision making as a voter.

[00:08:57] And if you take that away from them, then why are they participating in a rig system?

[00:09:00] And then you really open yourself up to some revolutionary type change.

[00:09:03] So it is incumbent upon the system for it to maintain legitimacy and credibility in the eyes of its subjects.

[00:09:12] And then, of course, the heavy handed tactics of the left through the.

[00:09:18] Neck and abuse of power through the judicial system, which is what we're talking about right now, has actually brought Trump back from the dead.

[00:09:27] I think that they thought that if we're talking theories for a second, one of my theories is they want to bring Donald back from the dead.

[00:09:36] This has all been about electing Donald in the first place.

[00:09:39] This has been all about polarizing America.

[00:09:42] They want to destroy America so they can redo the money system into a digital currency.

[00:09:46] And the only way they can do that is they can create so many divides.

[00:09:49] They tear America all the way down and from the ashes, they'll rebuild their global agenda.

[00:09:54] Well, I'm not taining all along necessarily in opposition to America being.

[00:10:01] Torn down to the studs and rebuilt in the image of our founders or in the image of a God family and country type of place.

[00:10:08] And I don't think you're ever going to do that from C to shining C anymore.

[00:10:11] I think it'll be. Yeah, the reason is that a bait isn't that we can restore to the tradition of our founders.

[00:10:15] I think most of the nation would reject that given the chance at this point.

[00:10:19] I think, though, well, depending on what state you're in.

[00:10:22] Yeah, but I mean, you definitely you're definitely not one United people.

[00:10:26] There's no doubt about that. But I think I may be arriving on your street, but maybe at a slightly different address.

[00:10:34] And I guess we could talk about that with regards to do they want Trump to win?

[00:10:38] I have something that's kind of changed my mind on that question that I've been considering for the last time.

[00:10:44] Let's talk about it. We'll do it. We're also going to talk about what Jonathan Turley and others are saying about Cohen's testimony.

[00:10:49] We'll do it all in seconds. You are listening to Liberty Roundtable Live.

[00:11:58] I'm Dave. I'm seven years old.

[00:12:04] I'm sitting here in the corner having a time out until mom comes to talk to me.

[00:12:09] All I did was cut my sister's hair.

[00:12:12] I was just trying to help.

[00:12:15] I guess mom didn't like how I did it.

[00:12:19] In a minute she'll be back and ask me if I know what I did was wrong.

[00:12:23] Maybe I shouldn't have cut her hair.

[00:12:26] And she'll say we all make mistakes because we're just learning about stuff.

[00:12:31] And she'll give me a hug and want to talk about more stuff.

[00:12:35] No matter what you talk to your kids about, love is what they'll hear.

[00:12:40] I really like mom's time outs.

[00:12:42] I think she likes them too.

[00:12:44] Yeah, I think they help her remember how much she loves me.

[00:12:48] A thought from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

[00:12:54] Alright, James Edwards and Sam Bushman back on Liberty Roundtable Live.

[00:13:09] Here on the Liberty News Radio Network.

[00:13:11] And Sam gave me the opportunity to come back from break to share with you what I'm thinking right now with regards to the big picture here with the 2024 election.

[00:13:20] And I would start by just reiterating the fact that Donald Trump was dead and buried as a political candidate after the 2020 elections.

[00:13:30] And I think that they thought they would just vote fraud him out of that and that would be the end of it.

[00:13:35] And then, though, you had a couple of factors that led to his resurrection.

[00:13:42] Number one, and historically weak and obviously feeble physically and feeble mentally, feeble minded President Joe Biden, historically weak incumbent.

[00:13:56] On top of that, you've got historically bad inflation.

[00:14:00] I mean, the cost of living right now is absolutely untenable.

[00:14:04] Imagine being someone in their 20s entering into the workforce faced with the prospect of becoming a homeowner with real estate prices what they are right now.

[00:14:17] You have no future except to rent right now.

[00:14:19] That's the reality and a lot of people are really upset about that.

[00:14:22] And of course, the economy is the biggest factor in whether or not an incumbent maintains his seat.

[00:14:27] Usually the biggest factor in whether an incumbent maintains his seat or is deposed by the challenger.

[00:14:33] So you've got a very weak president and a very bad economy.

[00:14:36] That helps Donald Trump big time.

[00:14:40] And then you've got the fact that people see a lot of open minded people and there are still some in this country.

[00:14:50] See this naked abuse of power that are going on in the courts, and that has made Trump a martyr and that has gained him sympathy.

[00:14:58] And people really want to stick it to the system for for doing this at least half the country's independence as well.

[00:15:04] And for good reason, I don't think that that was all part of the act.

[00:15:07] I think that what you have here, if you look at the people who are pursuing these cases, people like Fonny Willis, she's not doing what she's been told to do.

[00:15:16] She's just doing it because she has a very visceral hatred of the founding ock of this country who is Trump is their avatar.

[00:15:22] So I believe all that is legitimate.

[00:15:24] However, you take all of that weak president bad economy, all of the abuses of power that the system is inflicting on Donald Trump.

[00:15:34] And that has brought him back to front runner status.

[00:15:37] Now, could they still vote fraud?

[00:15:39] People just say, well, they'll just vote fraud him again.

[00:15:40] I'm not so sure.

[00:15:42] And here's why.

[00:15:43] And I just really started to think about this more clearly as I see him get some breaks in courts that look, the courts are criminally corrupt.

[00:15:51] They're criminally corrupt.

[00:15:52] No doubt about it.

[00:15:53] A little bit of breaks in court.

[00:15:55] I'm starting to think what's going on here and what I think it may be is it goes back to what I said in the first segment.

[00:16:01] The system.

[00:16:02] And when I talk about the system, I'm talking about all of its parts, the media, elections, the government, the courts.

[00:16:09] They have shed so much legitimacy and rightly so and deservingly so over the course of the last four to eight years.

[00:16:15] And Donald Trump has done a lot inadvertently.

[00:16:18] These are inadvertent assists to help the shed the legitimacy of these entities in the eyes of a vast swath of the American people, at least half of the American people.

[00:16:30] And so I'm thinking now, Sam, that it may be in the system's best interest for Trump to get back in there for four years because what that does is it restores legitimacy in the system.

[00:16:41] You cannot have the type of change this country needs if people are still voting and participating in the system in a rigged system, the way that they have for so many generations now.

[00:16:51] And so I'm thinking, OK, they'll let Trump back in because it is just four years.

[00:16:55] And what's the difference? Four years he's gone again.

[00:16:57] And then demographic.

[00:16:59] Yeah.

[00:17:00] And Donald did a lot of damage in the last four years to add and and I mean, think about our lockdowns.

[00:17:05] We've never been locked down as a society as hard as we were under the Donald.

[00:17:08] They were able to literally vaccinate a significant portion of the country on fraud under the Donald's leadership.

[00:17:15] So they gained a lot of ground under Donald.

[00:17:17] Let's not mistake that either.

[00:17:19] And the fact is that.

[00:17:24] The right has become much more organized, much more vocal, much more effective in the four years under Biden.

[00:17:32] And I'm not saying, you know, let's let the bad times roll.

[00:17:35] Less is more all of this stuff.

[00:17:37] But the fact of the matter is a lot of people are just going to go back to sleep saying, ah, see America work.

[00:17:41] It doesn't work if it works.

[00:17:43] It's only because they want him in there.

[00:17:44] I do believe that now.

[00:17:46] I don't know if I believe that a few months ago and we'll just see where it goes.

[00:17:50] Now, am I going to vote for him?

[00:17:51] I voted for him the first two times.

[00:17:54] We'll see.

[00:17:55] You know, he'd have to lose my vote at this point, but we'll see.

[00:17:57] I'm certainly not voting for Biden.

[00:17:59] But, yeah, I'm not entirely sure.

[00:18:01] We'll see.

[00:18:02] And but I think ultimately whether he wins or doesn't win in four years, what's coming is coming and what's coming is a demographic swapping of the historic American majority.

[00:18:12] And when that happens, you're going to have Democrats because because immigration, because of the immigration, because of the oh, what do you want to call invasion on our border?

[00:18:23] That's really the reality changing the whole electorate.

[00:18:26] And the Republicans seem to stand idly by as if they're fine with that, James.

[00:18:30] They really are.

[00:18:31] I mean, before Trump came on and you do have more now talking about it.

[00:18:37] Certainly than you did four to eight years ago.

[00:18:40] But that's just because I mean, obviously, Sam, with the exception of precious few like maybe a Marjorie Taylor Greene or Thomas Massey or Rand Paul.

[00:18:51] I mean, most of these politicians are just going to go where they think they need to go in order to serve number one, to serve their own self.

[00:18:59] And there would be a Republican base state Republicans, right?

[00:19:03] That's right.

[00:19:04] But the base of the Republican Party has moved so far in our direction on border security that you do hear a lot more at least paying lip service to us now.

[00:19:13] We still haven't had any really concrete policies to stem the flow of the legals coming on in to this country.

[00:19:21] In fact, they've intentionally jettisoned policies that could have been in place by now.

[00:19:25] That's right.

[00:19:26] Well, and that's a typical Republican Party game.

[00:19:29] They give you the lip service and then they don't deliver.

[00:19:31] That's always been that way.

[00:19:32] You do have, I think, a few more now that are true believers and you're certainly getting more rhetoric from the people who are just going with where the base is in order to keep up.

[00:19:40] But yeah, I mean, anyway, bottom line is whether Trump wins or not, I think you have a unless that you have a massive Dwight D.

[00:19:50] Eisenhower level type of deportation program and you get some Israeli style border security, then it's just inevitable that the Democrats will at some point in the near future because of demographic realities, they will hold the White House, the Senate and the House.

[00:19:59] And when they do, you can look forward to about 15 more.

[00:20:02] Conj.

[00:20:03] Jackson Browns.

[00:20:04] You can look forward to every manner of political corruption you can imagine.

[00:20:08] And I say to that that's OK because I think it is going to have to get tougher.

[00:20:12] I think we're going to have to suffer before we really come to grips with the kinds of solutions that we need, which is some sort of a separation.

[00:20:20] So the epiphany is you think that Donald will get the election.

[00:20:24] He will win.

[00:20:25] I thought if you had asked me last year and I don't look I don't want to be.

[00:20:29] I don't want to come across as sounding wishy washy, but I mean all I can do is monitor the situation.

[00:20:35] Things change in the environment.

[00:20:37] Things change.

[00:20:38] That's right.

[00:20:39] Those changes.

[00:20:41] That's right.

[00:20:42] The way I see it now and upon further reflection, if I looked at this new information, let's be clear, new information.

[00:20:48] I looked at this last Christmas.

[00:20:49] I would have said he would be in prison this year.

[00:20:52] At this point, I told you no.

[00:20:55] Right.

[00:20:56] I was telling everybody no just to be clear.

[00:20:58] Not trying.

[00:20:59] I know this point and realizing of course that the White House is going to be in prison.

[00:21:03] I think that's a good thing.

[00:21:05] I was telling everybody no just to be clear.

[00:21:07] Not trying.

[00:21:08] No, this point and realizing of course that he is only the president.

[00:21:11] It's not like the president can go in there and really make long lasting definitive change because you have all of these other systems.

[00:21:19] I mean you could have a way it works now.

[00:21:22] Of course in the Donald Trump party, they're talking or I'm sorry in the Joe Biden party.

[00:21:25] They're talking about the president making changes that Donald won't be able to undo.

[00:21:29] They're talking about that right now to make your point.

[00:21:31] That's it.

[00:21:32] I mean that's a joke.

[00:21:33] I mean you even had when he tried to do a very sensible ban on Muslims in the early days of his administration back in 2017.

[00:21:42] You had some circuit court judge that nobody had ever heard his name before and he overruled the president.

[00:21:48] So like I said, whoever is the president is only the president.

[00:21:51] He's not really the one calling the shots.

[00:21:53] And so I think now there may be a consensus amongst the powers that be in the elite of this country.

[00:22:00] And for more years, let the system regain a little bit of legitimacy in the eyes of the MAGA folks saying, hey, see, it wasn't vote fraud.

[00:22:10] He won this time.

[00:22:11] And then they just run out the clock and go back to business.

[00:22:13] That's really what they should have done to begin with.

[00:22:15] But they were just so they had such a blinding hatred for this for the avatar of what they thought Trump stood for more so than what he ever actually stood for.

[00:22:24] And they just overreacted.

[00:22:26] But we'll see if they course correct here.

[00:22:28] If they have the ability to do that, Jonathan Turley, well-known attorney, is coming out boldly and saying, look, they made massive mistakes in the case.

[00:22:37] Michael Cohen literally testified no damaging information at all, not only from his testimony, but from even half the cross examination that's taken place thus far.

[00:22:47] They basically demonstrated that, hey, he created a recording without the president knowing.

[00:22:52] So he recorded his client without his client's knowledge.

[00:22:55] They say that breaks all attorney client protocol whatsoever.

[00:22:58] That alone is going to be very damaging.

[00:23:00] And then Michael Cohen trying to pretend he's not really the attorney.

[00:23:04] And so, you know, hey, you can't really hold me to attorney standards.

[00:23:08] But at the same time, if he was the attorney, then Donald Trump just did what his attorney told him to.

[00:23:13] Michael Cohen taped it, betraying trust of an attorney client privilege.

[00:23:19] But if he's separating himself and acting like he's a fixer, not an attorney in this case, so I'm Donald's fixer, not Donald's attorney, then he's demonstrating that he did all of it.

[00:23:27] And Donald just went along and said, OK, whatever you want to do is fine.

[00:23:30] But in no way have they tied Donald to anything.

[00:23:33] And now that this tape proof has come out, the tape isn't damning.

[00:23:38] But the tape only vindicates Donald even more, according to Turley.

[00:23:42] Turley saying, you know what?

[00:23:43] There's just nothing here.

[00:23:44] It's a clown show and they need to call a halt to the con game right away.

[00:23:47] For some reason, the judge hasn't been willing to and won't do it, but it's getting more that way.

[00:23:51] And the longer Cohen sits on the stand, the worse it's going to get for Cohen and the prosecution and the better it's going to get for the Donald.

[00:23:58] What do you say to that?

[00:23:59] I agree.

[00:24:00] The whole thing is and this is again just goes to show how wide a golf the disconnect is between red state and blue state, if you will.

[00:24:12] This this show trial in New York, the Stormy Daniels trial that doesn't play for anyone who isn't tuned into MSNBC every night.

[00:24:21] Average Americans, the real working class backbone of this country, they don't care.

[00:24:27] They don't care if Trump gave money.

[00:24:30] However, it kind of is like the reality show The Apprentice, though, and they love that to be on TV and titillate us forever.

[00:24:37] I'll tell you that right now.

[00:24:38] James Edwards, Sam Bushman break it down continually in seconds on your favorite hard hitting news.

[00:24:44] The network's refused to use talk show proclaiming liberty across the land.

[00:24:54] You're listening to Liberty News Radio.

[00:25:03] USA News. I'm Ryan Daniels.

[00:25:05] The Biden administration is moving ahead now with a one billion dollar weapons package for Israel.

[00:25:11] It'll include tank ammunition, tactical vehicles and mortar rounds among other things.

[00:25:16] This comes about a week after the US paused a shipment of weapons to Israel with the president pressing for Israeli leaders not to launch an all out offensive into Rafa in southern Gaza.

[00:25:28] It's an area where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, mostly civilians, are taking refuge from the Israel Hamas war.

[00:25:36] The Biden administration still stresses that Israel going into Rafa would be a mistake, but the weapons shipments will now move forward.

[00:25:44] President Biden announcing a significant increase in tariffs on Chinese imports, including electric vehicles, semiconductors and other products.

[00:25:53] For years, the Chinese government has poured state money into Chinese companies across a whole range of industries.

[00:25:59] Steel, aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles, solar panels, the industries of the future.

[00:26:05] These increased tariffs will apply to about 18 billion dollars worth of annual imports from China covering items such as Chinese solar cells, batteries, critical minerals, steel and aluminum.

[00:26:17] The goal is to create a fairer playing field in sectors where the Biden administration's made substantial investments.

[00:26:23] TikTok content creators from eight states have come together to sue the US government regarding its attempts to ban the beloved app.

[00:26:31] President Biden recently signed a law mandating that ByteDance, TikTok's parent company based in China, either sell the app or face its prohibition in the United States.

[00:26:42] One prospective buyer for TikTok is former US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

[00:26:47] In their lawsuit, the TikTok creators denounced the law as unconstitutionally overbroad and assert that it infringes upon the First Amendment rights of TikTok users.

[00:26:57] This is USA News.

[00:28:59] Question. Can a nation conceived in liberty carry its head high if it denies protection to the youngest and most vulnerable of its citizens?

[00:29:13] Can a country founded on God given rights continue to thrive without understanding that life is a precious gift from our creator?

[00:29:23] I believe that great nations and great civilizations spring from a people who have a moral compass.

[00:29:31] I don't think a civilization can long endure that does not have respect for all human life born and not yet born.

[00:29:40] I will be in earnest. I will not equivocate and I will not excuse. I will not retreat an inch and I will be heard.

[00:29:51] One thing I promise you, I will always take a stand for life.

[00:30:07] Alright, so the bottom line according to Jonathan Turley and others, even the liberal attorneys are kind of saying this now.

[00:30:14] There's nothing illegal about payments being made from Michael to Stormy for whatever reasons.

[00:30:20] Donald isn't involved in it. Donald just did what his attorney asked him to do and Michael is making that case for them very nicely.

[00:30:27] The other problem for Michael is that he's lied so many times on the witness stand.

[00:30:31] He's not in jail for longer than he is or whatever the case may be.

[00:30:37] The longer Cohen talks, the longer Daniels talks, the better it gets for Trump.

[00:30:44] Both of them have absolutely zero credibility. Everybody knows it.

[00:30:49] Donald is just simply saying I just did what my attorney told me to do.

[00:30:54] I didn't make any payments for anything else and they don't have any smoking gun.

[00:30:59] They have Michael Cohen's testimony as virtually all they've got.

[00:31:03] Daniels says she signed a form saying that they didn't have this relationship.

[00:31:08] So if they didn't have the relationship, what would the money be for?

[00:31:12] I mean we're just going around in circles now, James.

[00:31:15] Well that's absolutely right and then as we saw in a previous trial,

[00:31:20] I mean we forget all of the trials that Trump has already been through and then still more to come.

[00:31:25] I mean that whole thing with E. Jean Carroll, I mean you see how criminally corrupt these courts are.

[00:31:31] And again that's not a gimmick. I mean they really do hate Trump and that was real.

[00:31:36] I mean she went in there, said all of these things about Trump, E. Jean Carroll.

[00:31:40] Trump says he never even met her, maybe brushed against her one time or was in the same place at the same time,

[00:31:46] but had no relationship and her word against his, no evidence and boom.

[00:31:53] Big time judgment and he's found guilty in that civil trial and all of that and you just see how corrupt it is.

[00:32:01] And so yes, I'm sure that when you have miscarriages of justice like that,

[00:32:05] you're going to have other people say well hey I can say anything too and who's going to stop me?

[00:32:09] And obviously the media and the political class are on my side.

[00:32:13] Well if you look at the same thing they're doing to Donald, they did to, oh what's his name?

[00:32:18] He's the Alabama 10th Amendment judge Roy Moore.

[00:32:22] Not only did Roy Moore say it wasn't true, they said it was.

[00:32:26] They just attacked him, attacked him, attacked him and committed election fraud over it.

[00:32:30] Eventually he won a bunch of money because they lied and couldn't prove it and he won a bunch of money.

[00:32:34] Nobody knows that James, but that's a reality check you've got to look towards as well.

[00:32:38] Well but you know if they cost him, he was a shoe in and that was just good on you for bringing that up

[00:32:44] because that's just another just despicable case, but it shows they've got a playbook for situations like this.

[00:32:49] And the situation with Roy Moore was godly man, good man, Judge Moore from Alabama.

[00:32:58] He had all of these women come up with just baseless claims from 40, 50 years earlier.

[00:33:05] No proof whatsoever, just a total smear campaign.

[00:33:09] Now those women should have been put into prison for filing those false claims

[00:33:14] and for the amount of damage it did to him personally and to his career.

[00:33:20] He was a shoe in to be a United States Senator.

[00:33:23] That is how they stopped a good man from becoming a United States Senator.

[00:33:28] This is how this system works.

[00:33:30] And then of course he ended up being beaten by a Democrat in blood red Alabama, Doug Jones.

[00:33:38] Now he only served the remainder of that term and then he was replaced by Tommy Tuberful.

[00:33:44] But in any event, there is a precedent here and Roy Moore is by no means the only example,

[00:33:50] but they were able to have all of these women come up and say all of these things

[00:33:53] and wouldn't you know it? Wouldn't you know it?

[00:33:55] Just like all of these cases are hitting right in the middle of this election season,

[00:33:59] not before, not anytime that it could have happened.

[00:34:02] Same thing happened with Roy Moore except these people were from the 1950s

[00:34:06] saying things in what, five, ten years ago.

[00:34:10] All of a sudden it became a problem for them.

[00:34:12] And so yes, there is precedent here.

[00:34:14] But the whole thing with Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen, total sleazeball Michael Cohen.

[00:34:19] Stormy Daniels known for being a pornographic actress, a porn star.

[00:34:23] This is who you've got.

[00:34:25] But you know, the Roy Moore situation, the E. Jean Carroll situation,

[00:34:29] anything goes in courts especially in blue state places like

[00:34:34] Hey man, Georgia and New York.

[00:34:36] And now there was another one in Washington, D.C.

[00:34:38] I think that's got put on the back burner right now.

[00:34:40] But this whole thing, this convoluted middle gymnastic thing

[00:34:45] where you even have to find legal fault in what happened.

[00:34:48] Now did Trump have an affair with this woman?

[00:34:50] Who knows if he did not a good thing, but it's not a criminal thing.

[00:34:54] And people pay.

[00:34:56] Well, and it certainly isn't an election tampering thing.

[00:34:59] Even if you say criminal, you've known about this for how long

[00:35:02] and why didn't it go to trial back in?

[00:35:04] When did we find out about Stormy?

[00:35:06] 2016.

[00:35:07] Yeah.

[00:35:08] So why are we dealing with a case eight years later in an election cycle

[00:35:11] is the real question and point.

[00:35:13] Now you've got the White House literally admitting that it relates to the election.

[00:35:16] Jonathan Turley makes one more point that I want to get your take on.

[00:35:19] He says Michael Cohen very well could have perjured himself as well.

[00:35:24] What do you say to that?

[00:35:25] No kidding.

[00:35:27] I couldn't be shocked if he did not be shocked of Stormy Daniels.

[00:35:30] Hadn't lied the entire time.

[00:35:32] Who knows?

[00:35:33] But I'm just saying you obviously can get away with anything.

[00:35:35] They got away with it.

[00:35:36] More's case.

[00:35:37] They got away with it.

[00:35:38] I mean, E.G.

[00:35:39] Carroll, who knows what the truth was?

[00:35:40] She didn't have any evidence.

[00:35:41] Don't you have to have some shred of evidence on things?

[00:35:43] Am I wrong and misremember?

[00:35:45] There was no evidence that Trump did anything untoward.

[00:35:48] Yeah.

[00:35:49] Carol is just your said he didn't.

[00:35:51] No, no, no.

[00:35:52] Yeah.

[00:35:53] So you're wrong.

[00:35:54] He's guilty.

[00:35:55] Now do I have any evidence for that?

[00:35:56] Of course not.

[00:35:57] That isn't important.

[00:35:58] I am in charge of the narrative.

[00:35:59] Do you understand?

[00:36:00] That's what they're hanging their hat on right now.

[00:36:02] Right.

[00:36:03] But you see this all the time.

[00:36:05] Is it shady?

[00:36:07] I mean, would I want to be involved in a case where I'm paying somebody not to say

[00:36:11] things about me, the real or imagined, you know, yet be better to avoid that.

[00:36:14] But of course you can't avoid it.

[00:36:15] Now they say, I mean, look at what they call us, Sam, for God's sake.

[00:36:18] I mean, it's you can't stop people from lying.

[00:36:20] Now obviously this is one more day.

[00:36:22] You could just spin them.

[00:36:23] It's been the reality.

[00:36:26] But the thing is with, you call it hush money if you so choose, paying people not

[00:36:35] to come, not to say things.

[00:36:37] If it's something done in a civil matter, it's not a crime, you know, whatever,

[00:36:41] you would just rather not get out.

[00:36:43] That happens.

[00:36:44] You have agreements like this, millions of them.

[00:36:46] I mean, it's a tale as old as time.

[00:36:48] Matter of fact, and I like to bring this up, I mean, there is nothing new

[00:36:52] about paying somebody money.

[00:36:53] That is not illegal.

[00:36:54] If it's an agreement between two people, that's just the way it goes.

[00:36:57] It's like cases being settled in arbitration or out of court before going to court.

[00:37:01] You see it all the time.

[00:37:02] And you had a very recent case that made news where Matt Schlapp, the head

[00:37:07] of CPAC, the head of the American Conservative Union, was alleged to have

[00:37:13] engaged in homosexual molestation or, you know, unwelcome sexual advances

[00:37:21] against another male.

[00:37:22] And this was another case of, you know, one guy said he did it.

[00:37:25] Matt Schlapp says he didn't.

[00:37:26] Guess what?

[00:37:27] I read in the news this thing was going to trial and they were going

[00:37:32] into depositions.

[00:37:34] And just a couple of weeks ago, Matt Schlapp, according to the news,

[00:37:38] paid $400,000 for this guy not to take it to court.

[00:37:42] Is that hush money?

[00:37:43] Is Matt Schlapp going to be on trial now?

[00:37:45] No, this stuff happens all the time.

[00:37:47] Now they're saying in Trump's case, some convoluted, convoluted

[00:37:51] thing where they can't, where you have to, this is why this doesn't work

[00:37:57] like every other case because he did this and he did this.

[00:37:59] And then now it becomes a legal problem.

[00:38:01] And it's just, it doesn't even make sense.

[00:38:03] Well, here's what's interesting.

[00:38:04] Matt Schlapp paid over triple what Donald paid.

[00:38:07] Right?

[00:38:11] Think about that for a minute.

[00:38:13] Maybe that's what story's upset about.

[00:38:15] She should have held out.

[00:38:17] She didn't get enough money.

[00:38:18] But I want to know though, does Donald get his money back?

[00:38:20] Since she swore she wouldn't tell for $130,000 question at Michael come on to get his money back.

[00:38:25] Shouldn't he?

[00:38:26] When he got ripped off, Michael should sue Stormy and say, I want my money back.

[00:38:30] That's all right.

[00:38:32] Anyway, it's just a very, very strange scenario.

[00:38:35] But I'm telling you right now, every one of these cases without exception is a clown show.

[00:38:41] The documents from Florida, Mar-a-Lago, whatever that case is on indefinite hold.

[00:38:48] Now, it's problematic in my mind constitutionally to put it on hold.

[00:38:52] In other words, suspend it, not schedule any dates or time frames to continue the case, but not dismiss it either.

[00:38:58] That judge is in a serious quandary as well, James.

[00:39:01] Well, I mean, of course the judges are because the judges are for the most part.

[00:39:09] And I'm sure there are some good ones.

[00:39:11] I don't know how many good ones there are in these deep blue jurisdictions, but most of them are just political whores.

[00:39:17] And they're looking after number one and they know how they're supposed to rule and how these things are supposed to go in court in order for them to maintain their status with the liberal elite.

[00:39:25] And so, yeah, I mean, all of these judges, I mean, go back to the O.J. Simpson judge.

[00:39:29] I mean, all of these judges, you know, they don't want these things coming down on their heads either.

[00:39:35] Of course, you know, I'm sure ideologically speaking, I would imagine that a judge in New York is going to be ideologically on the same side as the Trump prosecution.

[00:39:44] So but we'll we'll see.

[00:39:45] And then, you know, and of course, you've had a lot of judges trying to get their 15 minutes by standing up to Trump and doing this, that and the other and threatening Trump with sanctions and whatever.

[00:39:55] And I'm sure Trump's a lot to handle and probably misbehaves in court.

[00:39:58] But yeah, I mean, there's a it's not for people who believe that when you enter into a courtroom, political biases and personal opinions and feelings of attorneys and judges go out the door and it's just the letter of the law.

[00:40:12] I mean, you have to pay attention, ma'am.

[00:40:15] That's not the way it works.

[00:40:17] Not at all.

[00:40:18] It works now.

[00:40:19] What's interesting to me while they're attacking Donald so relentlessly.

[00:40:23] And this is one of the reasons that I think that they're going to keep Donald around.

[00:40:26] They don't want an RFKJR to gain ground.

[00:40:29] They don't believe in Biden anymore.

[00:40:31] We'll come back and talk about that.

[00:40:33] They're starting to openly attack Biden.

[00:40:37] I'm telling you right now, we think what there's only how many months left, seven months left or whatever it is in politics.

[00:40:43] That's an eternity.

[00:40:44] People will talk about that in seconds.

[00:40:47] We also want to talk about Rudy Giuliani on your radio.

[00:42:12] Richard Mack tells of his personal transformation from by the number cop to constitution conscious defender of citizen safety and freedoms.

[00:42:56] All right.

[00:42:57] Back with you live.

[00:43:12] James Edwards, Sam Bushman on your radio breaking it down like nobody's business.

[00:43:16] So Rudy Giuliani in the news for several different reasons.

[00:43:21] The biggest reason, though, is he got kicked off his radio show because they claim that he keeps telling lies about the election.

[00:43:30] The more Giuliani stands for the truth on election integrity, the more evidence comes out that he's right.

[00:43:38] How can they even fire him at this point?

[00:43:41] James in good faith on this, they can't.

[00:43:44] They just don't want him to continue to hammer on that turret for truth.

[00:43:48] They don't want more of us speaking out about it.

[00:43:51] Now, they can't stop guys like me and others because we own our own platforms, so to speak.

[00:43:56] Giuliani getting shut down.

[00:43:58] But it's really about this idea that he won't let the election lies go and they don't know what to do with him.

[00:44:04] So they just kicked him off the radio, James.

[00:44:06] Yeah, I mean, you know, certainly that's not unprecedented either.

[00:44:10] It is unusual when you have somebody with that much of a portfolio, I guess.

[00:44:16] I assume Rudy would be welcome here to do radio.

[00:44:20] But yeah, they certainly can do that and and have done that.

[00:44:25] And censorship in the media is also nothing new.

[00:44:30] They love diversity.

[00:44:31] They love they worship at the altar of diversity, but they have zero tolerance for the diversity of opinion,

[00:44:37] especially on something where there's just so much that needs to be talked about.

[00:44:41] Yeah, it all depends on how you define diversity.

[00:44:44] See, everybody's included except for you, James, or except for Sam or whatever.

[00:44:48] Everybody's included except for our views, our position.

[00:44:51] And then what they want to do is marginalize that as racism or whatever other lies they want to tell.

[00:44:55] But I find this interesting about Rudy Giuliani.

[00:44:57] Now there's two people that have shocked me in the past that I kind of want to bring up.

[00:45:02] Alex Jones and Rudy Giuliani.

[00:45:04] Both of them have now kind of met.

[00:45:08] Oh, what do you want to call it?

[00:45:09] Difficult payroll times, you might say.

[00:45:12] And so both of them are kind of on the verge of a bankruptcy or a discussion like that.

[00:45:16] The courts kind of meet it out how much money they get.

[00:45:18] Both of them are literally giving forty seven to fifty thousand dollars a month.

[00:45:24] They both thought they could live on that.

[00:45:26] And now I guess Alex Jones getting more like twenty five or thirty a month and he claims he can't live on it.

[00:45:31] Now Rudy Giuliani promised to live on forty seven grand a month, and I guess he can't keep within that budget either.

[00:45:36] You should be able to live on the grand a month, James.

[00:45:39] They can't even live on either of them.

[00:45:41] Come on now.

[00:45:42] I look, I understand it might not be the standard of living you wished you used to have, but you probably had too much.

[00:45:50] You can live very well on that.

[00:45:53] Maybe not in New York City, but come down south and you'll live like a prince.

[00:45:57] You pay your house off a very nice house in a year with that kind of money.

[00:46:01] I mean, a man in a month is over a half a million dollars a year, James.

[00:46:06] I mean, that's literally four times what me and my wife make together.

[00:46:12] That's ludicrous.

[00:46:13] It's offensive to hear people say that.

[00:46:15] I mean, you hear NBA players say it too.

[00:46:17] I think one time I know, but you're talking about Alex Jones and Rudy Giuliani.

[00:46:20] I know that.

[00:46:21] That's what I'm saying.

[00:46:22] I mean, you expect it out of some of these NBA types.

[00:46:24] Like I remember Luttrell Sprewell got offered a basketball player back in the 90s, most famous for choking his coach, got offered a contract.

[00:46:32] I think it was a hundred million dollars and he said he had to feed his family so he couldn't take that contract.

[00:46:37] He had to hold out for something better.

[00:46:38] But yeah, I mean, but you know, as you expect it from people like that, but when it comes to people that are a little bit more closer to your positions and yeah, that's offensive.

[00:46:48] Alex Jones, a talk show host versus like us now we can debate how big his talk show is and all this kind of stuff or whatever, but he can't live on fifty grand a month or you know, twenty even twenty five grand a month.

[00:46:59] James, I could live on twenty five grand a month.

[00:47:00] Easy.

[00:47:01] You know, hey, me and my wife together make less than half of that twenty five grand a month even.

[00:47:07] Right.

[00:47:08] I know people who live off fifty thousand dollars a year and they get by right and they get by fine.

[00:47:14] And so it's interesting to me how these guys say this.

[00:47:16] They're literally pleading, you know, poor boy before the courts.

[00:47:19] It's just shocking.

[00:47:21] Now Rudy Giuliani.

[00:47:23] I mean, OK, he was a governor.

[00:47:25] He was whatever he was.

[00:47:26] Right.

[00:47:27] But where would he get that kind of money?

[00:47:29] Where would Alex Jones get that kind of money?

[00:47:31] I mean, Alex is the guy that's like, oh, we got to hold a fundraiser.

[00:47:35] We're about to go on the skids and we're about to melt down with cash.

[00:47:39] And we've got to be on the radio for twenty five hours straight to do a big old fundraiser to keep us on the air.

[00:47:44] You know, and OK.

[00:47:46] And then Rudy Giuliani, this guy wearing government.

[00:47:49] Would you make that kind of money, James?

[00:47:51] Not on the upside of it, I guess.

[00:47:55] That's not that is the point.

[00:47:58] And these people, I don't know how much the mayor of New York gets.

[00:48:01] I don't know what the mayor of New York was getting, but the president still doesn't make that kind of money per year, you know, technically just on the base salary.

[00:48:09] Well, the salary, the president makes what?

[00:48:11] Four hundred grand a year.

[00:48:12] Yeah.

[00:48:13] So OK, so that's not even close.

[00:48:15] A month.

[00:48:16] Yeah.

[00:48:17] It's what?

[00:48:18] Forty grand a month.

[00:48:19] Forty times ten is four hundred grand.

[00:48:20] So it's like thirty five a month or something.

[00:48:22] Yeah.

[00:48:23] You know, three or thirty thousand dollars a month.

[00:48:27] Times ten to be three hundred sixty thousand.

[00:48:29] Yeah, it's like thirty grand a month.

[00:48:32] I mean, me and my wife live on less than half that with both of us working, James.

[00:48:38] Still, I mean, whatever numbers you throw out, we're not even close to there.

[00:48:42] That's offensive.

[00:48:43] And it just, you know, it creates a divide between them and the people that support them when you say things like that.

[00:48:49] That's that's totally tone deaf and out of touch.

[00:48:51] Now, the other interesting thing is Donald's begging us for money to help him too.

[00:48:55] Right.

[00:48:56] I don't know how much Donald lives on a month, but you know, I can't believe it's less than fifty grand a month.

[00:49:02] Can you?

[00:49:03] Donald Trump rivals the SPLC in terms of most aggressive fundraisers I've ever seen.

[00:49:09] The especially well, I guess always.

[00:49:12] I don't guess he's ever stopped.

[00:49:13] I was going to say, especially when he was in office or running the original reelection campaign.

[00:49:19] But yeah, everything is match.

[00:49:22] I've seen every kind of number match eight hundred times matching six hundred times matching four hundred times matching twelve hundred times matching.

[00:49:30] You know, there was always some sort of a deal if you'd give a dollar, you know, they got it down to a science, that's for sure.

[00:49:39] Now, what I find interesting about this, too, is, you know, they're always begging for money, but they're always behind the other guys, too.

[00:49:46] Every email that I get, they're all begging for money.

[00:49:48] But they're like, man, you know, the Democrats outfunded us now raised us.

[00:49:53] We're about to melt down.

[00:49:54] We're not going to be able to.

[00:49:55] I mean, if it's not by midnight, you know, we're going to whatever.

[00:49:59] And I just look at this and I just go, are you kidding me right now?

[00:50:02] I mean, even the Rand Paul's of the world as a doctor, an ophthalmologist or whatever, what, you know, he's got to make three hundred grand a year, twenty five grand a month doing that at the least.

[00:50:10] I don't know if he's making more or less in Congress.

[00:50:12] Now, it's kind of hard to say they get paid what?

[00:50:14] One hundred seventy five grand plus all kinds of benefits or whatever else.

[00:50:17] You know, but he's you know, I see this by if I don't have the money by midnight, man, we're going to be way behind the Democrats.

[00:50:23] It could be a meltdown.

[00:50:24] And the answer is not more money people.

[00:50:26] I'm just telling you right now for you and I to live on even less than we already live on to help them and their causes.

[00:50:32] When was that?

[00:50:33] When has that fixed anything in the last 30 years?

[00:50:35] I've been in politics, James never.

[00:50:37] And so we need to realize money is not the game.

[00:50:40] Do not give them money.

[00:50:41] Now, it's kind of interesting.

[00:50:42] You know, I might say, hey, help us with some dollars, but I'm telling you, it's a different deal.

[00:50:46] You will never see me in court and say I live on even twenty five thousand dollars a month.

[00:50:51] And I don't think it's fair for me to discuss my wife's salary necessarily.

[00:50:55] But I'm just saying, hey, even the two of us wouldn't have close to twenty five grand a month with both of us working full time and more James.

[00:51:01] And that's not talking about any sort of support that this network so richly deserves.

[00:51:06] And it is different.

[00:51:07] I understand support the people you think are producing fruit and even if it's a multi-billionaire and you're giving him five dollars or whatever.

[00:51:14] I mean, you got to you got to do that if that's where it is.

[00:51:17] But yeah, it is different.

[00:51:21] I think when a very lean entity that has a track record of producing very good fruit and punching above its weight class, being helmed by people like Sam who work and raise kids and his wife works and all of that.

[00:51:41] That is a little bit different than Rudy Giuliani or Alex Jones or anybody else who certainly have the money they need to get by or asking for more and then crying.

[00:51:53] Well, and when it comes to elect, we're going to have to find a way to not just spend so much money on elections to look, we've got to be able to win with reasonable money.

[00:52:03] I get that you got to have some money for campaign literature and flyers that you pass out when you knock on doors.

[00:52:08] I mean, I get that you got to have kind of a, you know, a budget for that kind of stuff.

[00:52:13] But look, we're talking about what billions of dollars to elect the president.

[00:52:18] I mean, each each candidate on the Republican Democrat red blue sides, whatever you want to say there like a billion dollars plus for their campaigns all the way up to the election time.

[00:52:28] And why would you do that to make $400,000 a year?

[00:52:31] This is the game they're playing.

[00:52:33] Why does it have to be more money?

[00:52:35] Why do we have to continue to increase the money if it was two billion for the Donald and one billion for, you know, Biden?

[00:52:41] Would that be fine?

[00:52:42] What if it was four billion?

[00:52:43] I mean, where does this end is what people need to start asking themselves.

[00:52:47] James.

[00:52:48] Well, and of course that goes back.

[00:52:49] I think it's the libertarians mostly who are interested.

[00:52:53] Well, obviously the Republicans and Democrats aren't interested in campaign finance reform because that would cut off the the spigot, I guess.

[00:53:03] But yes, I mean all of this money that is perpetually invested in in races and not just the presidential race.

[00:53:09] Think of all the House races, all the Senate races and then of course the presidential race on top as the cherry on top.

[00:53:15] But every two, four, six years, just an endless cycle of people donating to these for the most part almost universally criminally corrupt and at least morally bankrupt politicians.

[00:53:28] There is a better.

[00:53:31] This I think goes back to the point.

[00:53:33] There is a better place for your money to be used.

[00:53:39] And again, people saying you can't make it all fifty thousand dollars a month.

[00:53:44] That's just that's not a good look.

[00:53:46] And I don't see it stopping any time soon.

[00:53:50] I just see it getting worse, James.

[00:53:52] Oh, yeah.

[00:53:53] With with inflation what it is.

[00:53:57] Well, I mean, we'll see if it gets worse because I don't know how much more people are going to be able to take.

[00:54:01] I mean, I guess there is the donor in the elite class that will always have resources.

[00:54:05] But as far as these small money donations that Trump has always done very well with people are hurting right now.

[00:54:11] They are our prayers are with the American people.

[00:54:14] I'll tell you that because we're going to talk about the economy next hour as well.

[00:54:17] It's in shambles people and Donald is claiming to fix it for us.

[00:54:22] But he spent more money than anybody.

[00:54:24] And Joe Biden literally is going to destroy the economy.

[00:54:29] Even before the elections, we'll talk about it in mere seconds.

[00:54:32] Our one on the can, our two coming up.

[00:54:34] James Edwards, the political cesspool.org yours truly.

[00:54:37] God save the Republic of the United States of America.
