Welcome to Pod Save America, I'm Jon

0:22

Favreau. I'm Tommy Vitor. On today's show,

0:24

Trump whines about sharks, teleprompters and the

0:26

heat in Las Vegas, while his team

0:29

pitches more corporate tax cuts and a

0:31

quote, post-constitutional vision for a second term.

0:33

Exciting. Sounds great. The

0:35

Biden campaign sharpens its tax on their convicted felon

0:37

opponents. And then, Pod

0:40

Save America has been

0:42

granted the very first world

0:45

exclusive interview with America's

0:47

newest reality show, Sweetheart and or

0:50

villain. We don't know yet. Jon,

0:52

love it. Since we're not

0:54

allowed to ask him how he did or even

0:56

what he did. Or where he was. Tommy

0:59

and I will be quizzing about all

1:01

the news he missed since he has,

1:03

this is very important, he has not

1:05

seen or read anything about what

1:08

happened while he was gone. He will

1:10

be joining us in studio soon. We haven't even seen

1:12

him yet. We got a brief message

1:14

that he was back and that's it. The

1:17

prodigal son returns. Some of you might

1:19

be wondering, no preparation, how's this different than a normal week?

1:22

That we say. Good joke. I

1:27

can't wait. I can't wait. But first, Tommy,

1:30

you know how you get the Sunday scaries when

1:32

thinking about your first Monday morning meeting? Always. Now,

1:35

imagine that meeting is a video call with

1:37

a New York probation officer. That's

1:40

how Donald Trump's week started after

1:42

he got special permission to do the meeting

1:44

remotely and with his lawyer because of course,

1:47

separate set of rules for Donald Trump and

1:49

most other convicted felons. Only

1:51

in these meetings, the officer asks you

1:53

about your criminal record, employment history, any

1:55

health conditions, whether you have family responsibilities.

1:58

Can't imagine Trump's ever had any of those. This

2:00

is an especially tough one for Trump. They

2:02

usually ask whether you're in contact with

2:04

anyone with a criminal record, which apparently

2:06

you're not allowed to be if you're

2:08

on probation, all of which will get

2:11

bundled into a report that will go to Judge Juan

2:13

Marchon and typically includes a recommendation

2:15

for what a sentence should be. That

2:18

report will likely not be made public.

2:20

Trump's defense team has until Thursday to

2:22

submit its own sentencing recommendation to Judge

2:25

Marchon and Alvin Bragg will as

2:27

well, and then Marchon will hand down

2:29

the sentence a month from now on

2:31

July 11th. What do

2:33

you think, Tommy? On the one hand, no

2:36

previous criminal convictions yet. On

2:38

the other hand, Trump is guilty on 34

2:40

counts. He's shown zero remorse, openly trashes the

2:42

judge and the process, massive

2:45

civil liabilities in the recent past,

2:47

including being held liable for sexual

2:49

assault and fraud. What's

2:52

your recommendation? And 10 violations of his own gag order.

2:54

Oh, that's a good one. I forgot that one. Before

2:57

we get to the recommendation, drumroll, I had some

2:59

dark thoughts reading about this and then some less

3:01

dark thoughts. Which do you want first? Let's start

3:03

with the dark. Okay. So

3:05

if Trump wins, he

3:08

can make all the federal cases go away,

3:10

right, but not the state cases. However,

3:12

if he wins, the Supreme Court will probably say,

3:15

okay, the Georgia case, the New York case, all

3:17

of that has to go on ice while you're president because you have

3:19

to be able to do the job, which

3:22

means Trump now has a very

3:24

compelling reason to stick around

3:26

for a third term or a fourth

3:28

term, or you get my gist

3:30

here. I mean, that is a dark thought,

3:33

but it's also, see, the political hack

3:35

in me was like, that's a good argument. We should be

3:37

making that argument. Let's make it. I mean,

3:39

because the Biden people and everyone's already making the argument that

3:41

Trump is basically running to keep himself out of

3:43

jail, but really. This

3:45

goes beyond just his general authoritarian nature too and just

3:47

it's a real survival issue. Okay.

3:49

So enough of that. Less dark. It is so

3:52

funny that he's going to have to zoom with this PO

3:54

and they're going to be like, so tell me about your

3:56

living situation. It's like, well, I

3:58

live in a club. In

4:00

a golf course employment history. Well, it's a

4:02

it's a little spotty Yeah, what kind of

4:04

financial resources you have well at

4:06

the moment, but pretty soon. I'm gonna have

4:09

to cut some checks just references Also,

4:13

did you know the Trump can submit letters of

4:15

recommendation from family and friends? You

4:17

know that the getting get me I wonder like

4:19

you get a letter from like Fox and friends

4:22

I think the done done Eric would do it in like crayon

4:25

I think the not I didn't know this that

4:27

you're like you're not able to be in contact

4:29

with other People who have

4:31

criminal records. Yeah, while you're on probation

4:34

Just just a list for a reminder for

4:36

people of people in Trump's orbit who are

4:38

convicted felons His former campaign manager

4:40

former campaign vice chairman his former chief campaign advisor

4:42

three former campaign advisors his former CFO former personal

4:45

lawyer his former national security advisor his former White

4:47

House aide and two of his former lawyers and

4:49

about a dozen others are Currently facing federal felony

4:51

charges and felony charges in multiple states. God. That's

4:53

a lot of people It's gonna be tough to

4:55

run a campaign and staff a White House if

4:58

he can't be in contact with other people with

5:00

criminal records Or just be at his own club,

5:02

which is full of scumbags and you know, nairdee

5:04

Wells Um, I asked chat GPT to write

5:06

a brief letter of recommendation From

5:09

a friend of Trump's in New York and New

5:11

York financier. Mm-hmm. Want me to read aloud? Okay

5:13

dear probation officer I'm writing to advocate for leniency

5:15

for mr. Donald last name I would didn't want

5:18

to Trump's I didn't want it to know a

5:21

77 year old real estate professional recently convicted of

5:23

financial crimes as a close friend I believe he

5:25

deserves the lightest sentence possible Donald and I have

5:27

shared many wonderful times together including memorable visits to

5:29

my private island And rides on my private plane

5:32

his advanced age and the nonviolent nature of his

5:34

offenses should be considered in your decision Thanks

5:36

for considering this request. I'm difficult to reach

5:38

these days, but please contact my associate Ghislaine

5:40

for further questions sincerely,

5:42

Jeffrey So that's someone who

5:44

could weigh in for him chat GPT. They're really

5:46

that's they're that's a pretty advanced. Yes from Jeffrey

5:49

Last name brackets jet-setting New York financier.

5:51

I didn't realize that the AI was

5:53

getting that smart. It's good. Yeah, that's

5:55

Sam all that's That's very exciting So

5:58

in advance of his sentencing Uh-huh. Trump

6:01

is, of course, but not his best behavior. He's

6:03

speaking carefully and respectfully everywhere he goes so

6:05

as not to leave a bad impression on

6:07

the legal officials who will determine his fate.

6:09

Here he is at a rally in Las Vegas

6:12

over the weekend after a lovely introduction from

6:14

Marjorie Taylor Greene. The Democrats

6:16

and the fake news media wanna

6:18

constantly talk about, oh, President Trump

6:20

is a convicted felon. Well,

6:23

you wanna know something? The

6:25

man that I worship is also a

6:28

convicted felon. And he

6:30

was murdered on a Roman cross. By

6:32

the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you know what I said?

6:34

A lot of sharks. I watched some

6:37

guys justifying it today. Well, they weren't really

6:39

that angry. They bit off the young lady's

6:41

leg. He said, there's no problem with sharks.

6:43

They just didn't really understand a

6:46

young woman swimming now who really got decimated and

6:48

other people to a lot of shark attacks. They

6:50

said, you know, we have a deranged individual named

6:53

Jack Smith. He's a deranged dumb guy.

6:55

He's a dumb son of a bitch.

6:58

But those J6 warriors, they were warriors,

7:00

but they were really more than anything

7:02

else. They're victims of what happened. All

7:04

they were doing is protesting a rigged

7:06

election. That's what they were doing. By

7:09

the way, isn't that breeze nice? Do

7:11

you feel the breeze? Because

7:13

I don't want anybody going on me. We need every

7:15

voter. I don't care about you. I just want your

7:17

vote. I don't care. See

7:20

now the press will take that and they'll

7:22

say he said a horrible thing. I

7:24

mean, giddy up. Yeah. Believe

7:26

it or not, Tommy, there was policy

7:29

news in Trump's event. He

7:31

said that as president he'd asked Congress to stop

7:33

taxing income from tips, which is

7:35

obviously a pretty attractive proposal in Vegas, where so

7:37

many people work in casinos and service industry jobs.

7:39

But you really had to dig around to find

7:41

that news. The headline of the AP story from

7:43

the event was, Trump complains

7:45

about his teleprompters at a scorching Las Vegas rally.

7:47

There was also, we didn't include it, but there's

7:49

a long riff where he, he's done

7:52

this before he yells at the teleprompter operators because

7:54

he can't see the teleprompters. And then he says, Yeah,

7:56

when contractors are shitty, I don't pay them. I'm not gonna

7:59

pay them for this. Part of the brand,

8:01

people like that. What do you make

8:03

of Trump's famous message discipline there? Do you

8:05

think that rally was politically or legally helpful?

8:07

So I'll divide this in three parts, like

8:09

the Recovery Act. Sorry, Jesus Christ.

8:11

The shark attack aside, I think it's just

8:13

kind of funny and entertaining and why people

8:15

go to these things. The breeze stuff too.

8:17

I do think there's something about a politician

8:19

saying at a rally, hey guys,

8:22

don't die. I don't care about your health.

8:24

I just need your votes. It's kind of

8:26

like refreshingly honest in a way. The

8:29

Biden campaign made an ad from that. Okay, sure. The

8:32

I don't care about you, I just want your vote line. I

8:34

think it's very useful. It's funny. Even

8:37

though he said the media is going to make

8:39

a big thing of it and he was trying to say

8:41

he's joking. It's one of those jokes where there's a lot

8:43

of truth in it. He's half kidding. He's half kidding. Not

8:45

even half kidding. He just does want their votes. So

8:48

I think it does feed into the

8:50

message that the Biden campaign and I

8:52

think all of us should be using against

8:54

Trump that he only cares about himself. The

8:57

line about the January 6th insurrectionists, you call

8:59

them warriors, that I do think is a

9:01

real problem for him. And it's also, it's

9:03

kind of like the latest tick up this

9:05

escalatory ladder. Just going to say that, yeah.

9:07

We are this close to him calling on

9:09

the police officer who shot Ashley Babbitt to

9:12

be arrested or prosecuted or tried. Honestly, don't

9:14

give him any ideas. It's

9:16

like he's really, he's

9:19

going to be marching with the proud boys in a couple months.

9:22

I think that is actually an incredibly, it's interesting

9:24

that the Biden campaign went with the line about,

9:26

I don't care about you. It's funny

9:28

it sums up their message. It folds into their

9:30

broader message. It's so much great. Very well. But

9:32

like that line, he's right. He's obviously talked about

9:36

them being political prisoners and all that

9:38

kind of stuff, but calling them warriors

9:40

who just got, they didn't do anything

9:42

wrong. They were just protesting a rigged

9:44

election. This stuff is not, I'll

9:46

tell you this stuff polls fucking awful.

9:49

And even polls awful with unfortunately not all

9:51

Republicans, but quite a few Republicans as well.

9:54

They were warriors, but they're really more than anything

9:56

else. They're victims of what happened. Again, these are

9:59

people who. you know, kick down the

10:01

doors of the Capitol, smash through windows, marauded

10:03

through, beat the hell out of police officers,

10:05

pulled them down steps, tear gassed them, brutalized

10:08

people, I mean, come on. I also like,

10:11

it's one thing to say, I don't

10:13

know if the conviction's gonna matter to my vote

10:15

or maybe it was a political prosecution and it's

10:17

not really a big deal to me. That's

10:21

very, very different from Marjorie Taylor

10:23

Greene's line that Trump

10:25

is like Jesus. Who's

10:27

also a convicted felon. They're

10:31

going with this, he is our

10:33

martyr. That's not gonna fly

10:35

with people. You went to Jesuit

10:37

school, Holy Cross. I'm

10:40

a less religious, I think, than you. Does that

10:42

track with your understanding of the Bible? It

10:44

was actually, it was, he was 33 when he died and

10:48

it was 33 felony counts. Did he

10:50

have a PO? It was one less than Trump. Okay.

10:52

He did, he was not able to do it remotely

10:54

though. Magic Christmas at her house. Jesus Christ. What

10:57

did you make of the actual proposal on income

11:00

from tips? The tips proposal, I mean, I

11:02

think this is one of those ideas that

11:04

sounds very good and described in shorthand but

11:06

I think in practice gets complicated

11:08

and is more likely to benefit corporations.

11:11

So the perfect Trump policy. Literally, I wrote that

11:13

down. This is. So

11:17

the argument for not taxing tips is

11:19

that tipped workers generally make lower wages, they

11:21

deserve a tax break and the accounting process

11:23

can be onerous for both of them and

11:25

for small businesses. Also, taxing tips could encourage

11:28

people not to report them in the first

11:30

place, right? So you can see the challenges

11:32

there. The argument for taxing tips is you

11:34

want all income to be taxed uniformly just

11:36

for fairness reasons and taxes on

11:38

tips go to essential services like any

11:40

other tax. They also go to social

11:42

security, Medicare, et cetera. But most of

11:44

all, the real concern about

11:47

Trump's idea is if employers know tips

11:49

aren't taxed, they will probably try

11:51

to pay the lowest wages possible and push

11:53

employees to make it up themselves with tips.

11:55

So Democrats, the employers have to pay the

11:57

tax as well. Yes. And so

11:59

Democrats, the

14:00

weeds. On the other hand, like every poll

14:02

I've ever seen, you know,

14:04

tax cuts for the rich are the most

14:06

unpopular policy or one of the most unpopular

14:09

policies. And that's sort of where Democrats traditionally

14:11

have Republicans on the ropes. Yeah. I mean,

14:13

I want to know what you think about

14:15

this. I absolutely believe that these policy ideas

14:17

would be inflationary. I am skeptical

14:20

about our ability to explain it to voters

14:22

in a concise way, especially when you get

14:24

into the specifics of some of the policies,

14:26

because part of the argument is about Trump's

14:28

immigration policies, which is an area

14:30

where Joe Biden starts way, way, way underwater

14:33

as compared to Trump. Another piece is

14:35

tariffs on Chinese imports

14:37

or Chinese goods that come into the country.

14:39

And again, it seems like voters like policies

14:41

that are harsh on China. Now you're right

14:43

that Trump is also proposed just an across

14:45

the board tariff on all imports. But I

14:47

agree. I think the lowest hanging fruit here

14:49

is the Republican plan to give more tax cuts

14:51

to the richest people in the country and

14:54

to corporations. There

14:56

was some recent Pew polling that found 60% of

14:58

voters say they are bothered

15:01

a lot by the feeling that rich people

15:03

in corporations don't pay their fair share of

15:05

taxes. I think those people are right to

15:07

be pissed. And the Republican plan would also

15:09

explode the debt. I think it's 4.6 trillion

15:12

dollars over a decade, just if you

15:14

extend the 2017 Trump tax cuts.

15:16

But Trump and his buddies in Congress apparently

15:18

want to go further than just the 2017

15:20

tax cut. Yeah, I think I

15:23

think it can be a very powerful, compelling story. But

15:25

you've got to tell the story and you've got to

15:27

include sort of motivation in it instead of just talking

15:30

about the policy. And

15:32

you know, Trump basically passed

15:35

one major piece of legislation in four years in the

15:37

White House. And it was a tax cut for the

15:39

rich that cost four trillion dollars and that he wants

15:41

to extend. So it costs four trillion dollars over the

15:43

next 10 years. And then he wants to add another

15:45

trillion dollars to it. Right. So he wants to spend

15:47

five trillion dollars in a tax cut that goes mainly

15:50

to the rich. He wants you to pay for it

15:52

because it's adding to the deficit and he's not paying

15:54

for it. He didn't pay for the last one. That's

15:56

all he did last time. Did he pass anything to

15:58

help workers? No. on this tipped wage

16:00

proposal last time too. He just didn't want

16:02

to do it, right? Cause he's bullshit. And now

16:05

he is meeting with campaign donors and telling

16:07

them like rich billionaires and saying, hey,

16:09

vote for me and I'll get you another tax cut.

16:11

He's meeting with oil companies and being like, hey, vote

16:13

for me and I'll make sure that you get more

16:15

subsidies as well. And I'll cut regulations. And I'll cut

16:17

regulations for you. So that's what Trump's out there doing.

16:20

And I think Joe Biden, like, this is

16:22

a good one for the debate. Like Donald Trump keeps

16:25

attacking Joe Biden about inflation. It's like,

16:27

what are you going to do for inflation? How does

16:29

giving a huge tax cut to rich people, how does

16:31

that help inflation? How does that help people with their

16:33

costs? I'm going to do X, Y and Z, right?

16:35

Like Joe Biden wants the rich to pay more in

16:37

taxes so he can cut the deficit and give everyone

16:39

else a break. You know, it's

16:41

tricky because it doesn't get covered as

16:43

much as the more identity inflected cultural

16:45

issues that we talk about these economic

16:47

issues cause it's not 2012 anymore. Like

16:50

last time we ran this campaign. But again, I

16:53

think you can tell a story that paints

16:55

Trump as just there to take

16:57

care of himself and his rich

16:59

friends and not you. And I think that works on a more

17:01

emotional level than just the policy. Yeah, and Biden wants to let

17:04

the tax cuts expire for people who make more than $400,000. But

17:07

he also wants to put new taxes on businesses. I think

17:09

he wants to raise the rate from 21% to 28% to

17:13

pay for investments in childcare, elder care,

17:16

housing, education. So things people really, really

17:18

care about. And I'm, you know, and

17:20

again, like Republicans

17:22

will call it, you know, tax and spend

17:24

liberalism. But I think there's a big majority

17:27

in this country who don't think that corporations

17:29

pay enough in taxes period. And

17:31

by the way, like this is one of the larger

17:33

stakes in the election. You

17:35

can sit here and think there's a lot of,

17:37

maybe this won't happen because the Congress will look

17:39

like this and the president won't get this done.

17:41

And we don't know, the tax cuts are set

17:43

to expire at the end of

17:46

the year. So no matter who's president, there's

17:48

going to be a major fight about taxes

17:50

early on in 2025. And

17:52

again, like $4 trillion is

17:54

at stake here. And

17:56

either they're going to be renewed for

17:59

a decade or I

40:00

reported before I left. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well,

40:02

the farting was ongoing, so you know. Was there any

40:04

new farting developments? There was no new farting. Any other?

40:07

You didn't miss any new farting. No, no, no, no, no.

40:09

Okay. All right, Tom, we're gonna do that. Okay, so there

40:11

was some big debate news while you were gone. Which

40:13

of these things didn't happen? A,

40:16

Joe Biden challenged Donald Trump to two debates in

40:18

a video that ended with, Make my

40:20

Day. B, Donald Trump

40:22

said he wants Joe Biden to take a drug

40:24

test before they debate. He said

40:26

that before. I believe that that's real. The two campaigns

40:29

couldn't agree on the rules. The moderators were the networks,

40:31

and as of now, there are no debates scheduled. D,

40:34

the first debate will be in June and the second

40:36

will be in September. One

40:41

did not happen. One,

40:44

only one, only one did not

40:46

happen. I'll

40:48

say no debates. We

40:51

got a debate in just a couple weeks. June.

40:55

Between our Brooklyn event

40:57

and the Boston PSA show, Thursday night,

40:59

there's gonna be a debate. What?

41:02

Was it like a game of chicken? Why

41:04

are we debating in June? It was Biden.

41:06

It happened so fast. It happened so fast.

41:08

One day Biden released this video, said that

41:10

they want to do away with the commission.

41:12

Great. And I don't like

41:15

the sets. So it was first thing in the

41:17

morning that Biden campaign released the video, and within

41:19

like two hours, the Trump campaign was like, we

41:21

agree, let's do it, done. Two debates, one

41:23

in June. Jake Tapper, Danabash,

41:25

CNN in Atlanta. And

41:28

then this no audience, that was part of the rules

41:30

and they get to cut off your mic if you

41:32

go past the... I like that. That's good.

41:35

So it's like all the rules that the Biden folks wanted, which is really weird that

41:37

Trump agreed to it. And then the second

41:39

one is ABC, I believe, right? Yeah,

41:41

I think so. ABC in early September.

41:43

Hosted by Cat Turd 2. Cat

41:46

Turd, they got Cat Turd 2. And

41:49

yeah, honestly, I can't even remember some of the

41:51

people we hate. Well,

41:54

here comes the next one. And the vice presidential debate's

41:56

going to be... They haven't figured out

41:58

the date yet, but they've agreed to that sometimes. after obviously

42:00

Trump picks the VP. Right, right, I was about to say,

42:02

I was like, right, okay, so we don't know who that

42:04

is yet, so it has to be after, but wait, but

42:07

I don't understand, they've never, it's before they're

42:09

even officially the nominees. I know, yeah, it's weird,

42:11

I know. And, oh, and RFK is very upset

42:13

about it, which we're gonna get to next. RFK

42:15

is very upset about it because he

42:18

thinks that he could qualify for the-

42:20

The commission debates. Well, and CNN has rules that

42:22

you have to be 15% in four

42:24

national polls, or you have to be on the

42:26

ballot in enough states that equals 270, and

42:29

RFK, I think, has hit the polling threshold, but

42:31

not necessarily, he's saying he hit the- 270?

42:35

The ballot thing, but that's, no one else has

42:37

confirmed that yet. Yeah, it's a problem. Well,

42:39

that's something to worry about. But he thinks he can get it by September, but I

42:41

don't think he can get it by June. But

42:43

we don't know, that's still ongoing. June. Speaking

42:46

of RFK- It is June. 17

42:48

days. 17 days, can you imagine

42:50

that? It's gonna be a big- Wow. It's

42:53

gonna be a big last week of June. It's before or after the

42:55

show? It's between shows, it's Thursday, so

42:57

we have the Brooklyn show Wednesday night, the

43:00

debate is Thursday night after our book event,

43:02

and then Friday night is the Boston show.

43:04

Oh, wow. It's good content. It's good content.

43:06

Okay. Great content. So, some RFK news when

43:08

you were out, the New York Times, big

43:10

story in the New York Times, reported that

43:12

RFK Jr. has suffered from what medical issue?

43:16

A, a drug-resistant STD that could have

43:18

been prevented with the vaccine. B,

43:20

a parasitic worm that ate part of his brain.

43:23

C, a hospitalization caused by taking

43:25

too much ivermectin. One,

43:29

one's true. One is true, sorry. Okay. One,

43:32

this one, one is true. STD. Brain

43:36

worms. Brain worms. He has brain worms?

43:38

He had a worm that ate part of

43:41

his brain. In 2010, he was experiencing memory

43:43

loss and mental fogginess, so he went to

43:45

a doctor, and they determined

43:48

that there had been some sort

43:50

of worm in his brain that

43:52

consumed a portion of it. What?

43:55

And then died. And then died. And then

43:57

died. in

44:00

the brain. He's fully recovered from it.

44:02

So says RFK Jr. You

44:05

can't fully recover from a brain

44:07

eating your worm eating your brain.

44:10

Those don't grow back. No

44:12

kidding. That's what happened with

44:14

RFK Jr. Actually honestly, okay. That

44:16

makes sense. That's how you go from being an environmental

44:18

lawyer to whatever this is. It doesn't

44:20

explain to people around him. Maybe it's contagious. Well

44:23

speaking of the people around him, there's also

44:25

a big story that his VP candidate did

44:27

have sex with Elon Musk while

44:29

on ketamine at a party. I

44:32

feel like the

44:34

ketamine part is sort of, gums

44:36

with the territory. Tell

44:40

me, go ahead. Does it make it better

44:42

or worse? I don't know. I don't know.

44:44

Okay. There was a pretty wild

44:47

Supreme Court controversy a few weeks ago that is

44:49

still making big news. We're going to take it

44:51

in a couple of parts. First, what

44:54

expletive did a neighbor say

44:56

to Justice Alito's wife as

44:58

the two of them, the justice and

45:00

his wife, were out taking a walk

45:03

that sparked this multi-week controversy? Is

45:05

it A, slut, B,

45:08

shit for brains, C, the

45:11

C word. Oh, it

45:13

can't be the C word, can it? I'm going

45:16

to say shit for brains. See

45:18

you next Tuesday, pal. I'm

45:21

sorry. Someone on

45:23

the street, so

45:25

Alito's wife caught a stray. Oh,

45:28

it gets so much better.

45:30

Okay. So the facts of

45:32

how this fight originated,

45:35

we'll get to that.

45:37

This fight escalated when

45:39

Mrs. Alito did what?

45:42

A, key to neighbor's car. B,

45:45

harassed a neighbor on social media with

45:47

a fake account. C, flew

45:49

a stop the steal flag outside their

45:51

home, the Alito home. It's

45:53

got to be the fake account, right? Oh

45:56

no. There

46:01

was an upside down American flag flown

46:03

a couple weeks after January 6th outside

46:05

the Alito's home and the neighbors got

46:07

a picture of it. It was a

46:09

front page of the New York Times.

46:14

Samuel Alito? I'm

46:18

sorry, flags are not like,

46:20

oh, whose spouse's flag is in front of that house.

46:22

Well, it's funny you should say that. It's his flag,

46:24

right? In Alito's very long explanation letter, he said, I

46:27

cannot control my wife and the flags that she flies.

46:29

What are you talking about? What are you talking about?

46:31

It's my wife's flag. That is the dumbest fucking... My

46:33

wife is fond of flags. I am not. That's

46:36

what the letter is saying. This isn't a letter. What

46:38

the fuck? This isn't a letter when he refused to

46:40

recuse himself from January 6th. So

46:49

you're telling me Justice Samuel Alito

46:51

had a stop the steal flag

46:53

flying outside of his fucking house?

46:55

Just a couple weeks after... It

46:57

was an upside down American flag.

46:59

An upside down American flag? Yeah.

47:02

And he also claimed the letter. I didn't know what it meant. I

47:04

don't know. It's a distress flag. It's

47:07

a distress flag? Last

47:09

part of this. Yeah, it's funny. Things got

47:11

even worse. News outlets

47:13

then reported that Miss Alito did what? A,

47:16

raised a second stop the steal flag

47:18

outside their vacation home. B, was

47:21

heard blasting the J6 choir song

47:23

in her car. C,

47:25

was spotted wearing a QAnon t-shirt

47:27

in her backyard. Wow.

47:30

I honestly could. There's

47:33

no, I don't know what the truth could be

47:35

anything. I'm

47:38

going to say QAnon shirt. Second

47:42

stop the steal flag. They have a vacation

47:44

home in New Jersey. Two

47:47

years later. Two years later. Two

47:49

years later. Yeah. This

47:51

is the appeal to heaven flag, which is another sort

47:53

of like right wing Christian nationalist flag that was associated

47:55

with stop the steals people. And

47:58

so that's their second flag. He also said he's

48:00

like, I thought that was a flag that dates

48:02

back to the constitution. Cause I think apparently they

48:05

did, the founders flew flags like that.

48:07

I don't know. It's wild. There it

48:09

is. It's outside their house. Yeah,

48:11

that's the heaven flag. Oh

48:14

man. Well, Justice Samuel Lido had to

48:16

stop the steel flag flying in front

48:18

of his home. Yeah. And

48:21

he won't recuse from the immunity case. It's

48:23

unbelievable. Which has not been, spoiler

48:26

has not been decided yet. Oh sorry. We're still waiting.

48:28

Still waiting on that one. They haven't

48:30

taken any of the big cases yet. Or we haven't heard any of the

48:32

big cases yet. Wow. I

48:35

know. I know. And

48:37

then like, here's a pop quiz. Do you

48:39

think Senate Democrats are investigating Sam Lido over

48:41

this and subpoena? No.

48:45

Dick Durbin I think sent a few nice letters. Dick

48:47

Durbin is disappointed. He's disappointed. You know.

48:49

And Roberts, did Roberts weigh in? I think

48:51

Roberts weighed in. Well no, the Senate Democrats

48:53

asked Lido to recuse and his

48:55

response back, which came from Alito himself. Cause he has

48:57

to make the decision. Roberts doesn't make it. That's where

48:59

he included real language. It's like my wife is a

49:02

flag enthusiast. I am not. A flag

49:04

enthusiast? Like she's doing semaphore. Some

49:09

welcome news. Which of these Trump associates will

49:11

report to jail in just a few weeks

49:13

for a sentence that will last through the

49:15

election? A, Rudy Giuliani. B,

49:18

Steve Bannon. C, Roger Stone. Giuliani

49:23

convicted of anything? I'm

49:26

gonna say Bannon. Bannon's going to jail. July

49:29

1st through November. For

49:31

what crimes? Contempt of Congress. Oh okay, okay,

49:33

okay. And he kept trying. Oh, cause those

49:35

are running. Those are still happening. He kept

49:37

trying to appeal, appeal appeal. And finally the

49:39

judge was like, I'm not letting you just

49:42

hang in limbo and appeal this for an

49:44

indefinite amount of time. You're going to jail.

49:46

Wow. And he gave this big press

49:48

conference saying like, I'm doing it as a patriot. You're never

49:50

gonna shut me up. So if anybody's, you know, Tommy's got

49:52

a free 45 minutes a day now. That

49:55

was my question. That's what I said on the mock.

49:57

So guess where
