(00:24):
Hello, Welcome back, ladies andgentlemen. It is now November. We
are inching ever closer to Christmas time, but it is not Christmas yet.
Listen. I know I'm gonna rufflefeathers by saying this, but just because
Halloween is over does not mean thatChristmas Time has magically begun. Okay,
Turkey Day is real, Thanksgiving isreal. Put some respect on Turkey Day,
(00:45):
all right, Thanksgiving first after Thanksgiving, then it's Christmas time as soon
as I mean, it's the sameday. Christmas time begins on Thanksgiving Day.
It's just whenever you finish eating yourThanksgiving Day meal, then Christmas has
started before, not after. Allright, I'm sick of all this.
It's November, that means it's Christmas. No, put Mariah carry back in
(01:07):
her ice block until after Thanksgiving.Good grief. But yeah, not only
are we inching ever closer to Christmas, we are also inching ever closer to
election time. And of course,as election time gets closer and closer,
the talk of the town, ofcourse, becomes election interference. And you
know that's really a sign of ahealthy nation. Right, every time you
(01:27):
have an election in a country,everyone starts pointing fingers and saying the other
side is cheating or did cheat.That's a sign that things are going well,
right. I honestly can't remember thelast election where we didn't have all
this drama. I mean, thinkback to the twenty sixteen presidential election.
That's really the first election that Iever really paid close attention to, because
(01:49):
that's the first time I was actuallyold enough to, you know, pay
close attention to politics. I meanI had an understanding of politics to a
certain extent before that, Like Iremember when Obama was an aug curated back
in two thousand and eight, andI understood the concepts of everything. But
really it wasn't until twenty sixteen thatI was kind of old enough to actually
process the ins and outs of politicsand actually think critically about it. So
(02:09):
twenty sixteen was the first election Ireally paid attention to. So Trump wins
that election, and of course Hillaryspends literally all of the rest of time
up until today, claiming that theelection was stolen from her via Russian interference.
We have this whole investigation into it. For four years, literally all
of Trump's presidency, we were dealingwith these headlines. All of Trump's presidency.
(02:32):
We were all at the edge ofour seats waiting for the bombshell,
waiting for the shoe to drop,and it never did. It never happened.
And then we find out that itwas all a lie anyway, And
yet Hillary still says, to thisvery day that she should be the president.
She still says that election was stolen. And as it turns out,
the Russian interference was like a memepage on Facebook ran by some Russian guy.
(02:57):
That's it. That's all they had. But that set the bar,
and from that day forward, literallyevery single election since then, we've had
this massive talk of election interference.Twenty eighteen, the mid terms, the
big story was the Georgia governor's raceand Stacy Abrams had that stolen from her
by the evil GOP. To thisday, she still claims that she's the
rightful governor of Georgia. Some DemocratNational something or other had her on a
(03:23):
panel of Democrat Georgia governors. Shewas never a governor of anything. She
never won. She lost by likefifty thousand votes in the state of Georgia
in twenty eighteen, and then shelost again just recently. But she still
claims that the twenty eighteen election wasstolen via election interference or like preventing people
to vote. She never substantiated thoseclaims. There was never any evidence of
(03:44):
it. But Hillary did it,so she's gonna do it, and it
worked out great for her. TheLeft loves her. Freaking CBS had her
play the President of the Universe inStar Trek, which, if you needed
even more reasons not to watch StarTrek, there it is. I maintained
that even though Star Wars is crappy, it will forever be far superior to
Star Trek, only because George Lucasnever brought in Stacey frickin Abrams. So
(04:10):
that's twenty sixteen, then twenty eighteen, and then we have the big one
twenty twenty. And of course weall know the story. Donald Trump claims
for months and months and months thatthere was massive amounts of election interference that
may or may not be the case. We don't know, the fact is,
we don't know. We do know. Donald Trump never substantiated the claims.
He was never able to prove anythingsubstantive in court, and of course
(04:34):
January sixth happens. But to me, that's not even really the story of
the twenty twenty election. I honestlydon't care that much about all that.
To me, the story of thetwenty twenty election begins way back before the
primaries, when COVID first really startedhitting, and immediately right off the back,
Like I remember, as far backas February of twenty twenty, people
(04:56):
were saying, Hey, how isthis pandemic in China going to affect our
election? What if it comes here? What if it becomes a big thing
here? Because remember COVID wasn't reallybig in America until like April. Even
before that, in February and March, people were saying, if this comes
here, it might affect our elections, we might have to change how we
do elections. And that right thenwas when I knew that this was going
(05:16):
to be a disaster. This wholeelection was going to be a disaster,
and it was from top to bottom. So you can disagree with the theories
on the millions of fake ballots orhidden ballots, or ballots stuffed in trunks
of cars and under tables and thrownin the river and what have you,
and I myself don't necessarily agree withmost of those theories. I don't see
a whole lot of evidence to supportthat. That being said, it's pretty
(05:38):
clear that the twenty twenty election wasin certain ways rigged to be in favor
of Joe Biden. What I meanby that is, for one, there's
a pretty clear media bias towards theDemocratic Party, and that pretty clearly benefited
Joe Biden, the way they buriedthe Hunter Biden laptop story, and then
a couple months after the election,we find out that most people didn't know
(06:00):
about it, and they say thatif they did know about it, it
would have affected how they voted,but none of the mainstream media covered the
story, and of course big Techburied people who did cover up the story,
and so nobody knew about it.That's pretty clear election interference. And
then all the changes and adjustments tomail in voting and the drop off voting
and all that stuff that also prettyclearly affected Joe Biden positively as well.
(06:21):
And of course a lot of thoserule changes weren't even legal. There were
states that completely went around their legislatureand instituted new voting procedures, and we
know just by looking at the numbersthat that benefited Joe Biden more than anybody
else. So I do think thatelection fraud and election interference are two completely
different things. You can completely legitimatelyinterfere with an election like we saw in
(06:43):
twenty twenty, and you can dothings like do fake ballots and fraudulent voting,
and that's those are completely different things, and one could happen completely independently
of the other. So now herewe are once again, coming up on
twenty twenty four, and we areseeing once again election interference, not election
fraud, because we don't have anybodythat we know of in a back room
(07:03):
somewhere printing out fake ballots just waitingfor the moment to go cast them for
Joe Biden. But we have apretty clear politically motivated attempt to kneecap Donald
Trump and his campaign by throwing himinto courtrooms, constantly draining his bank accounts,
draining his time, with the mostfrivolous legal action in the history of
(07:25):
this country probably ever. The casesthat we're seeing being brought against Donald Trump
are the most ridiculous, They arethe most legally thin cases. And the
only reason that Donald Trump is havingthese cases brought against him is because he
is a Republican. I mean,the only case that they really actually have
any evidence of legitimate, codified wrongdoingis the mar Lago document's case. That's
(07:46):
the one where like they rated hishouse and everything. I'll give it to
them. They actually have some evidencethat Donald Trump did a wrong thing.
It also happens to be the samewrong thing that Mike Pence has done,
that Joe Biden has done, thatHillary Clinton did, and nobody is getting
prosecuted for it except for Donald Trumpbecause he's the front runner for the GOP.
That's exactly why I mean, thinkabout it. Donald Trump has documents
(08:09):
that he shouldn't have locked up inhis basement in his hyper secure mar Lago
estate, So he gets his doorkicked in by the FBI, he gets
charges filed against him, and nowhe's in court over it. But Joe
Biden does the same thing, classifieddocuments that he shouldn't have, and they're
just sitting in boxes next to hiscorvette in his garage. And we go
(08:31):
back and we look at it.Now that we know the documents are there,
we can see them in pictures fromyears ago of his garage door just
wide open, there's his corvette,there's the boxes that we now know have
classified documents in Joe Biden faces nocharges, Nobody bats an eye. Turns
out he now has documents in officesall over the country and nobody says anything
(08:52):
about it. I mean, thatis a headline. I'll give him credit
for like a month. We talkedabout it for like a month, but
only because the conservative news outlets forcedthe subject. Conservatives kept bringing it up,
and that's why it got talked about. But nobody on the left cared
about it, and the DOJ certainlydidn't care about it. Despite the fact
that Hunter Biden was living at thehouse at the time and kept having foreign
(09:13):
agents over for dinner with a bunchof classified documents in the garage. Nobody
asked any questions. Joe Biden isunder absolutely zero pressure because of all this.
But Donald Trump He's going to courtfor exactly the same thing. I
guarantee you Donald Trump's documents were waymore secure than Joe Biden's was. But
it's not Joe Biden. Mike Pencealso, we found out a couple months
(09:37):
ago, had documents that he wasn'tsupposed to have. Nobody bat it an
eye. He's like, oh,Mike Pence had documents, Okay, Why
was that a headline for like twodays because everybody knew that Mike Pence was
never a serious presidential candidate. JoeBiden was a serious presidential candidate, but
he's on the left, so wetalk about it, but we don't really
care about it. Donald Trump,he's a serious presidential candidate, but he
(09:58):
is on the right, which meanshe's hitler, which means we have to
get him for anything and everything.So if he's got documents, we're gonna
get him. We're gonna get himover those documents. Even though Hillary Clinton
did the exact same thing and wenever charged her either. Hillary Clinton did
set the standard for this. Bythe way, of course, everybody knows
the thirty thousand classified government emails thatshe had on a private server. That's
(10:18):
the digital equivalent of what Donald Trumpand Joe Biden and Mike Pence and every
other person that's ever had classified accessto anything in this country ever has done.
Because I guarantee you everybody's done this. Every politician that has access to
classified documents at some point or anotherhas taken things home that they shouldn't have.
But nobody ever talks about it becausethe dirty little secret is it doesn't
(10:39):
matter, and nobody cares because mostof these classified documents really aren't that important.
Just about every American government document hassome level of classification on it.
That's why some random yay who inthe National Guard a couple months ago was
able to release a bunch of classifieddocuments, because the government loves to play
(11:01):
this game where everything is classified,and then everybody has classified document access,
and then somebody takes it home andnobody cares until it gets leaked or until
somebody finds out somebody has it,and if you're a Republican, guess what
you're getting in trouble for it.But Hillary Clinton does the same thing,
just on a digital level instead ofwith actual paper documents. She just has
digital documents on a server that she'snot supposed to have them on, and
(11:24):
then she lies about it, Shebleaches the server, she deletes all the
emails, and she never gets chargedfor it because the DOJ says she didn't
have intent to distribute them to peoplethat she wasn't supposed to distribute them to.
She just had them in a placewhere she wasn't supposed to have them,
So we're not going to charge herwith the crime. Even though what
she did was illegal, pretty clearly, she's gonna get off completely scot free.
(11:48):
Okay, if that's the standard,fair enough, I'm actually I don't
hate that standard. I'm fine withit. People have classified accents, things
get taken home, things happen.I don't mind that. But that has
to be applied consistent. Why isthat the standard with Hillary Clinton, but
that's not the standard with Donald Trump. Why is it that when Donald Trump
has these documents, everybody loses theirmind over it, and it's the biggest
(12:09):
national security crisis since nine to eleven, but when Hillary Clinton does the same
thing on a bigger scale, nobodybats an eye. Well, the answer
is because that this is now aweapon that can be used to keep Donald
Trump off the ballot. That's allthis is. They want to convict Donald
Trump of something so that he canbe disqualified from the election, or so
(12:30):
that he can be so tarnished thathe can't possibly win the election even if
he is on the ballot. Andthat's the same case with every single one
of these cases that have been broughtagainst him all across the country. It
is just so that he doesn't winthe election. They don't care about equal
justice. They don't care about makingsure no one's above the law. All
they care about is making sure thatDonald Trump doesn't get elected to president again.
(12:52):
And in Colorado they've let the catout of the bag. There is
a movement now in Colorado and thisis actually like going to court. They're
trying to legally block his name frombeing on the ballot in the state of
Colorado. So you don't even havethe option to vote for him because they
don't like what he did and saidin the lead up to January six Listen,
you cannot like what he did orsaid in the lead up to January
(13:13):
sixth all you want, it's notillegal. It is legal to question elections
and it should be. And evenif it wasn't, Donald Trump still hasn't
been convicted of anything. So evenif you do think that Donald Trump did
something illegal in the lead up toJanuary six, he should at least be
convicted of that before you knock himoff the ballot because of it. Right,
(13:35):
do we not have the presumption ofinnocence in this country anymore? Is
that not a thing? The factis, they don't care if you have
presumption of innocence. They don't careif you're innocent until you're proven guilty.
They don't want him on the ballot. They don't want the slightest chance that
he becomes president again. So beforehe's been convicted of any crime, they're
taking legal action in the state ofColorado to bar him from being on the
(13:56):
ballot. And their whole argument isJanuary six six January sixth, donald Trump
tried to lead an insurrection. Thefourteenth Amendment says he can't be president anymore.
First of all, Donald Trump literallysaid the words go peacefully protest.
At no point did Donald Trump callfor people to storm the capitol. He
said, march to the Capitol andpeacefully protest, not storm the capitol,
(14:16):
not smash everything, not attack cops. So even if you think that January
sixth was an insurrection, which isa ridiculous statement, you still can't place
the blame for that on Donald Trumpbecause Donald Trump said peacefully protest, he
didn't say go do an insurrection.It really is disappointing that we've reached this
point of banana Republic in America.There was the big upstate when they first
(14:39):
charged Donald Trump back a couple monthsago. It was a big deal.
They had broken the glass ceiling.Everybody lost their minds. And yet,
for some reason, nobody's talking aboutthe fact that we're trying to prevent this
guy from being on the ballot inthe United States. We're trying to prevent
people from being able to vote forwhichever candidate they want in the United States.
(15:01):
And he hasn't even been convicted ofa crime yet, that to me
is a far bigger deal. Idon't care about him being charged with a
crime as much as I care aboutthe fact that there are a group of
people that are trying to decide thatyou shouldn't be able to vote for the
candidate that you best think can leadthe country because they don't like some stuff
that he said three years ago.That to me is so much worse.
(15:22):
And the fact that it's not gettingmore press coverage is baffling to me.
This should be the top news storythroughout the entire country, but for some
baffling reason that I will never understand, it's sliding right under the radar.
Alrighty, that is going to doit for the show today. We're cutting
it a little bit short because myvoice is going out on me. It's
been going for the last several days. Really, since this cold weather started
(15:46):
here in Houston, I have beenslowly but surely getting worse and worse in
the quality of my voice. Whatcan I say, I'm a Houston Texan,
I'm I'm designed for it to behot and moist, and it is
cold and dry right now, andmy body is just not physically prepared for
it. So we're gonna go aheadand cut it short. Hopefully I will
have enough tea and throw lozenges overthe weekend to bring me back to normal
(16:08):
and we can do a nice,full length, twenty to twenty five minute
show for you on Monday, sostay tuned for that. Of course,
subscribe to the podcast on Spotify,Apple Music, the iHeartRadio app, wherever
you get your podcasts, and ofcourse, feel free to reach out to
me on Instagram or Twitter. Thelinks are in the description down below.
Once again, thank you all verymuch for listening, and I will see
(16:30):
you on Monday for more of theNext Gen Report.
Hello, Welcome back, ladies andgentlemen. It is now November. We
are inching ever closer to Christmas time, but it is not Christmas yet.
Listen. I know I'm gonna rufflefeathers by saying this, but just because

may or may not be the case. We don't know, the fact is,

She just had them in a placewhere she wasn't supposed to have them,
So we're not going to charge herwith the crime. Even though what
she did was illegal, pretty clearly, she's gonna get off completely scot free.
(11:48):
Okay, if that's the standard,fair enough, I'm actually I don't
hate that standard. I'm fine withit. People have classified accents, things
get taken home, things happen.I don't mind that. But that has
to be applied consistent. Why isthat the standard with Hillary Clinton, but
that's not the standard with Donald Trump. Why is it that when Donald Trump
has these documents, everybody loses theirmind over it, and it's the biggest
(12:09):
national security crisis since nine to eleven, but when Hillary Clinton does the same
thing on a bigger scale, nobodybats an eye. Well, the answer
is because that this is now aweapon that can be used to keep Donald
Trump off the ballot. That's allthis is. They want to convict Donald
Trump of something so that he canbe disqualified from the election, or so
(12:30):
that he can be so tarnished thathe can't possibly win the election even if
he is on the ballot. Andthat's the same case with every single one
of these cases that have been broughtagainst him all across the country. It
is just so that he doesn't winthe election. They don't care about equal
justice. They don't care about makingsure no one's above the law. All
they care about is making sure thatDonald Trump doesn't get elected to president again.
(12:52):
And in Colorado they've let the catout of the bag. There is
a movement now in Colorado and thisis actually like going to court. They're
trying to legally block his name frombeing on the ballot in the state of
Colorado. So you don't even havethe option to vote for him because they
don't like what he did and saidin the lead up to January six Listen,
you cannot like what he did orsaid in the lead up to January
(13:13):
sixth all you want, it's notillegal. It is legal to question elections
and it should be. And evenif it wasn't, Donald Trump still hasn't
been convicted of anything. So evenif you do think that Donald Trump did
something illegal in the lead up toJanuary six, he should at least be
convicted of that before you knock himoff the ballot because of it. Right,
(13:35):
do we not have the presumption ofinnocence in this country anymore? Is
that not a thing? The factis, they don't care if you have
presumption of innocence. They don't careif you're innocent until you're proven guilty.
They don't want him on the ballot. They don't want the slightest chance that
he becomes president again. So beforehe's been convicted of any crime, they're
taking legal action in the state ofColorado to bar him from being on the
(13:56):
ballot. And their whole argument isJanuary six six January sixth, donald Trump
tried to lead an insurrection. Thefourteenth Amendment says he can't be president anymore.
First of all, Donald Trump literallysaid the words go peacefully protest.
At no point did Donald Trump callfor people to storm the capitol. He
said, march to the Capitol andpeacefully protest, not storm the capitol,
(14:16):
not smash everything, not attack cops. So even if you think that January
sixth was an insurrection, which isa ridiculous statement, you still can't place
the blame for that on Donald Trumpbecause Donald Trump said peacefully protest, he
didn't say go do an insurrection.It really is disappointing that we've reached this
point of banana Republic in America.There was the big upstate when they first
(14:39):
charged Donald Trump back a couple monthsago. It was a big deal.
They had broken the glass ceiling.Everybody lost their minds. And yet,
for some reason, nobody's talking aboutthe fact that we're trying to prevent this
guy from being on the ballot inthe United States. We're trying to prevent
people from being able to vote forwhichever candidate they want in the United States.
(15:01):
And he hasn't even been convicted ofa crime yet, that to me
is a far bigger deal. Idon't care about him being charged with a
crime as much as I care aboutthe fact that there are a group of
people that are trying to decide thatyou shouldn't be able to vote for the
candidate that you best think can leadthe country because they don't like some stuff
that he said three years ago.That to me is so much worse.
(15:22):
And the fact that it's not gettingmore press coverage is baffling to me.
This should be the top news storythroughout the entire country, but for some
baffling reason that I will never understand, it's sliding right under the radar.
Alrighty, that is going to doit for the show today. We're cutting
it a little bit short because myvoice is going out on me. It's
been going for the last several days. Really, since this cold weather started
(15:46):
here in Houston, I have beenslowly but surely getting worse and worse in
the quality of my voice. Whatcan I say, I'm a Houston Texan,
I'm I'm designed for it to behot and moist, and it is
cold and dry right now, andmy body is just not physically prepared for
it. So we're gonna go aheadand cut it short. Hopefully I will
have enough tea and throw lozenges overthe weekend to bring me back to normal
(16:08):
