    The segment discusses the controversy surrounding journalist Ken Klippenstein's decision to publish a dossier about JD Vance, which originated from an Iranian hack of the Trump campaign. The dossier contains Vance's personal information, and Klippenstein, formerly of The Intercept, published it on his Substack account before his suspension from X (formerly Twitter). Criticism is directed at Klippenstein for prioritizing personal gain over ethical journalism, as he is accused of aiding Iranian efforts to interfere with U.S. elections. The media's decision to withhold the dossier due to its potential to affect elections and exacerbate foreign malign influence is debated.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The conversation continues with a critique of Klippenstein's ethical judgment for releasing the dossier without redacting private information, especially considering the dossier's non-newsworthy content about JD Vance. The discourse highlights the potential security risks posed to Vance and his family, echoing concerns about media responsibility amidst geopolitical tensions, particularly Iran's alleged involvement in U.S. election interference and threats against political figures like Donald Trump. The media's historical precedent in similar cases, like the Steele dossier, is cited, emphasizing a possible self-serving motive behind Klippenstein's actions to gain attention.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:18:48

    The final segment delves into broader issues of media ethics and platform policies regarding the publication of personal information, contrasting Klippenstein's case with other instances, like Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's reports. The discussion challenges the double standards in handling leaked or public private information, questioning X's consistency under Elon Musk compared to previous leadership. It links current events to ongoing political narratives, such as biased media coverage and legal double standards between figures like Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Melania Trump's experiences spotlight personal impacts of media intrusions, further illustrating the contentious relationship between privacy, public interest, and political agendas.

  • 00:01:07
    following the release of the dossier
  • 00:01:09
    about JD Vance that was allegedly from
  • 00:01:11
    an Iranian government hack here's the
  • 00:01:13
    dossier the media refused to publish he
  • 00:01:15
    wrote in a post earlier he's a former
  • 00:01:17
    reporter at The Intercept published the
  • 00:01:19
    dossier to his subc website without
  • 00:01:21
    about three hours prior to his account
  • 00:01:22
    suspension so we actually have his post
  • 00:01:25
    here he he we're not going to pull up
  • 00:01:26
    the uh the dossier but the JD Vance
  • 00:01:28
    dossier includes his social security
  • 00:01:30
    number home address phone number and a
  • 00:01:31
    bunch of private information that uh
  • 00:01:33
    should have been redacted and there are
  • 00:01:35
    a lot of leftists and liberals who are
  • 00:01:37
    pointing this out saying that Wikileaks
  • 00:01:40
    publishes information all the time and
  • 00:01:42
    they painstakingly redact private
  • 00:01:44
    information to protect the individual if
  • 00:01:46
    there's something newsworthy you don't
  • 00:01:47
    you don't need to publish the phone
  • 00:01:48
    number this guy didn't do that and
  • 00:01:50
    that's basically why he got taken down
  • 00:01:52
    here's what he says behold the dossier
  • 00:01:55
    reportedly comes from an alleged Iranian
  • 00:01:57
    government hack of the Trump campaign
  • 00:01:58
    and since June the news media has been
  • 00:02:00
    sitting on it declining to publish in
  • 00:02:02
    fear of finding itself at odds with the
  • 00:02:03
    government's campaign against foreign
  • 00:02:05
    malign influence I disagree the dossier
  • 00:02:07
    has been offered to me and I decided to
  • 00:02:09
    publish it because it's a of keen public
  • 00:02:11
    interest in election season it's a 271
  • 00:02:13
    page research paper the Trump campaign
  • 00:02:16
    prepared to vet now vice presidential
  • 00:02:17
    candidate JD Vance as far as I can tell
  • 00:02:19
    it hasn't been altered even if it was
  • 00:02:20
    its contents are publicly verifiable let
  • 00:02:23
    speak for itself quote the terror regime
  • 00:02:25
    in Iran loves the weakness and stupidity
  • 00:02:27
    of Kamala Harris and is terrified of the
  • 00:02:29
    strength and res of Donald Trump Steven
  • 00:02:31
    Chung communications director for the
  • 00:02:32
    Trump campaign responded when I asked
  • 00:02:34
    him about the hack if the document had
  • 00:02:36
    been hacked by some Anonymous like
  • 00:02:37
    hacker group the news media would be all
  • 00:02:39
    over it I'm just not a believer of the
  • 00:02:42
    news media as an arm of the government
  • 00:02:43
    doing its work combating foreign
  • 00:02:45
    influence I'm going to pause right there
  • 00:02:46
    and say you're a scumbag Ken that's not
  • 00:02:48
    true you published it because you wanted
  • 00:02:50
    attention for for your website when the
  • 00:02:53
    steel dosier came out and you make the
  • 00:02:55
    argument well the steel dossier was was
  • 00:02:57
    BS yes and even though that came from
  • 00:02:59
    Clinton and it came from domestic
  • 00:03:02
    sources news outlets still decided not
  • 00:03:05
    to publish it until BuzzFeed and all
  • 00:03:06
    their scumbaggery decided to publish
  • 00:03:08
    nonsense garbage every journalist
  • 00:03:11
    basically was align saying there's no
  • 00:03:12
    reason to publish this it wasn't
  • 00:03:14
    obtained in any reasonable way and it's
  • 00:03:16
    private campaign materials but you know
  • 00:03:18
    what I hope you get new subscribers how
  • 00:03:20
    about that yeah it does seem like a very
  • 00:03:21
    self-serving move uh any kind of claim
  • 00:03:24
    to being uh an honorable journalist
  • 00:03:26
    who's doing this for the public good
  • 00:03:28
    seems obviously a cover up for poor
  • 00:03:30
    judgment and a lack of ethical standards
  • 00:03:32
    you know the thing is JD Vance has very
  • 00:03:34
    young children and so you know I think a
  • 00:03:36
    lot of people could could say generally
  • 00:03:38
    oh he lives in this part of Ohio or
  • 00:03:40
    whatever else but uh to put his Social
  • 00:03:42
    Security out there number out there to
  • 00:03:44
    put other things out puts a lot of
  • 00:03:45
    people other than him at risk uh and
  • 00:03:48
    especially given the stakes that the
  • 00:03:50
    Trump campaign has already been dealing
  • 00:03:52
    with given the two physical attacks on
  • 00:03:53
    Donald Trump I I don't know why anyone
  • 00:03:56
    would say I think this is a great call
  • 00:03:58
    I'm going to do a round bidding let this
  • 00:04:00
    out there especially because as far as I
  • 00:04:01
    can tell like the stuff that's in there
  • 00:04:03
    that seems to paint JD Vance in maybe a
  • 00:04:06
    somewhat negative light is basically
  • 00:04:08
    already known I mean there really wasn't
  • 00:04:09
    like to me from what I know about the
  • 00:04:11
    reporting I haven't read the dossier uh
  • 00:04:13
    a Smoking Gun I think it seems like this
  • 00:04:15
    reporter was heard the word dossier and
  • 00:04:17
    thought that's scandalous and I have it
  • 00:04:19
    and I'll release it what do you think it
  • 00:04:21
    was that he was trying to gain by doing
  • 00:04:22
    this anything other than just getting
  • 00:04:24
    attention attention that's it I mean
  • 00:04:26
    look is has anybody heard his name
  • 00:04:28
    before no no yeah I know who he is
  • 00:04:30
    because he's an intercept reporter and
  • 00:04:32
    I'm on X all the time watching so I see
  • 00:04:35
    posts from this guy but I mean people
  • 00:04:38
    want attention that's it's what they do
  • 00:04:40
    that's why you get these he's he's the
  • 00:04:42
    news equivalent of a nuisance streamer
  • 00:04:44
    interesting okay yeah they go into a
  • 00:04:45
    shopping markets they go to Walmart and
  • 00:04:47
    they grab gallons of milk and they
  • 00:04:48
    Splash it all over themselves and they
  • 00:04:49
    they scream nonsense they are awful that
  • 00:04:52
    they want to get the views that's
  • 00:04:53
    basically what this guy is doing there's
  • 00:04:55
    no news nothing about this is newsworthy
  • 00:04:57
    let let let let me show you some of
  • 00:04:58
    what's in it okay no no no this is okay
  • 00:04:59
    it's okay quote Vance has been one of
  • 00:05:02
    the chief obstructionists to us efforts
  • 00:05:04
    to providing assistance to Ukraine okay
  • 00:05:07
    that's Congress this just his
  • 00:05:08
    Congressional Record yeah right it says
  • 00:05:10
    Vance criticized Public Health experts
  • 00:05:12
    and elected officials for supporting
  • 00:05:13
    black lives matter protests while
  • 00:05:14
    condemning anti-lockdown protests okay
  • 00:05:17
    Vance embraced non-interventionism okay
  • 00:05:20
    in 2020 he criticized president Trump's
  • 00:05:22
    air strike killing Sol L Mani worrying
  • 00:05:24
    it would continue to bog down America in
  • 00:05:25
    the Middle East yeah he's anti-
  • 00:05:26
    intervention okay so why publish a
  • 00:05:29
    document with guy's private information
  • 00:05:30
    in why not redact any of it it's not
  • 00:05:33
    newsworthy that you've basically got a
  • 00:05:35
    list of things JD Vance has said or done
  • 00:05:37
    it's just not well it's clear this guy's
  • 00:05:39
    obviously after a scoop and he's
  • 00:05:40
    thinking he can go viral or get you know
  • 00:05:42
    as you said new subscribers but you know
  • 00:05:44
    the FBI has been warning for months that
  • 00:05:45
    Iran is interfering the election they've
  • 00:05:47
    already said that Iran was behind um
  • 00:05:50
    plots to try and assassinate president
  • 00:05:51
    Trump so the fact that he knows this
  • 00:05:54
    he's saying at the start of the article
  • 00:05:55
    you know it's allegedly uh from an
  • 00:05:57
    Iranian hack he knows that that's
  • 00:05:59
    clearly you know wrong yet he's deciding
  • 00:06:01
    to publish it anyway especially when you
  • 00:06:03
    know there's been two assassination
  • 00:06:04
    attempts on Trump and then he's putting
  • 00:06:06
    private details of JD Vance putting him
  • 00:06:08
    and his family at risk you know it's
  • 00:06:10
    it's it's ridiculous and also to know
  • 00:06:12
    that Iran is the number one state
  • 00:06:13
    sponsor of terrorism and to try and take
  • 00:06:16
    something that they've hacked and
  • 00:06:17
    publish it if he's got a scoop there was
  • 00:06:19
    a story a long time ago where there was
  • 00:06:21
    this dude who worked at K Nast and he
  • 00:06:23
    was gay but nobody knew he was gay and
  • 00:06:26
    then somebody got information on him and
  • 00:06:29
    threatened to blackmail him and they
  • 00:06:31
    said you know I I can't remember exactly
  • 00:06:33
    what it was but I think it was give me
  • 00:06:34
    money or I'm going to out you so he
  • 00:06:37
    refused to pay they went to I think it
  • 00:06:39
    might have been Gawker I'm not sure and
  • 00:06:41
    uh said here's information on this guy
  • 00:06:43
    he's gay and they went yeah and they
  • 00:06:45
    published it and everybody was like so
  • 00:06:47
    you just aided and eded the blackmailer
  • 00:06:49
    you could have told him to screw off and
  • 00:06:51
    they're like yeah well someone would
  • 00:06:51
    have published it what he's doing here
  • 00:06:53
    is Iran has a campaign and I'm going to
  • 00:06:56
    be as as hard and dark with it as I can
  • 00:06:59
    and hope he hears it Iran's campaign
  • 00:07:02
    against the United States right now
  • 00:07:04
    involves militias killing our men and
  • 00:07:06
    women in uniform F funding them and
  • 00:07:08
    giving them weapons so they can do that
  • 00:07:10
    that's the most extreme thing happening
  • 00:07:11
    right now overseas next the most extreme
  • 00:07:14
    thing domestically is they're trying to
  • 00:07:16
    kill Donald Trump as a part of their
  • 00:07:18
    campaign against us they are also trying
  • 00:07:20
    to sew Discord in this country uh Ken uh
  • 00:07:23
    I I hope you appreciate being a part of
  • 00:07:24
    their Campaign which includes all of
  • 00:07:26
    those things yeah it does seem like he's
  • 00:07:28
    just playing into their hands and
  • 00:07:30
    especially right after Trump put out
  • 00:07:31
    that statement the other day saying that
  • 00:07:33
    there had been more attempts on his life
  • 00:07:35
    that hadn't necessarily been publicized
  • 00:07:36
    and that Iran was you know perhaps
  • 00:07:38
    behind some of this stuff it is kind of
  • 00:07:40
    scary and if you think about it too like
  • 00:07:42
    doesn't Iran have their hands pretty
  • 00:07:45
    deep into a lot of places not just in
  • 00:07:48
    the Middle East but in South America and
  • 00:07:51
    you know and in parts of Africa and
  • 00:07:53
    stuff aren't they kind of everywhere I
  • 00:07:55
    think they do have an influence Network
  • 00:07:57
    that they've developed over time I think
  • 00:07:59
    people think oh they're in the Middle
  • 00:08:00
    East and that's far away and we don't
  • 00:08:02
    think about it but they're kind of
  • 00:08:03
    everywhere and I think that's true for a
  • 00:08:05
    lot of countries right there are a lot
  • 00:08:06
    of countries that have influence in
  • 00:08:08
    America and other nations that that they
  • 00:08:11
    don't broadly publicize um you know I
  • 00:08:15
    again this journalist decision to
  • 00:08:18
    publish this to me seems like he's
  • 00:08:20
    trying to front as I'm doing this for
  • 00:08:23
    democracy and because the Free Press is
  • 00:08:25
    good and I think you deserve to know
  • 00:08:26
    this information uh but really that
  • 00:08:30
    seems to be more of a an effort to cover
  • 00:08:33
    up a desire to become famous to become
  • 00:08:35
    an elite journalist uh and you know that
  • 00:08:38
    to me speaks to something Melania Trump
  • 00:08:40
    did an interview or at least it was
  • 00:08:42
    released today with Fox and Friends and
  • 00:08:43
    she was talking about you know she
  • 00:08:45
    reflected on a lot of stuff but one of
  • 00:08:46
    the things she said was like the O
  • 00:08:48
    opposite the other party in the media
  • 00:08:50
    are pushing this narrative that divides
  • 00:08:52
    us that that encourages hateful actions
  • 00:08:54
    and and again you know Libby can
  • 00:08:57
    probably speak to this a lot but all
  • 00:08:58
    editorial bors all all editors in the
  • 00:09:01
    world have to have this conversation
  • 00:09:02
    that's like we have this information is
  • 00:09:04
    this newsworthy can we verify it what's
  • 00:09:07
    the standard here uh and while there
  • 00:09:08
    were a lot of really great journalists
  • 00:09:10
    on suback in this case this guy said
  • 00:09:13
    like looked at himself in the mirror and
  • 00:09:14
    said I've decided this is worth
  • 00:09:16
    publishing and I don't care about the
  • 00:09:18
    consequences to anyone but how it'll
  • 00:09:19
    impact me so there there's big there's
  • 00:09:21
    big outrage that he got suspended and I
  • 00:09:23
    I want to show this post from Ed kenin
  • 00:09:25
    because he asks some questions that we
  • 00:09:27
    can uh we can answer for you he says
  • 00:09:29
    first I'm going to start off by saying
  • 00:09:30
    I'm against doxing for those ARF
  • 00:09:31
    familiar this is a liberal personality
  • 00:09:33
    he's prominent on X he says with that
  • 00:09:34
    said the below screenshot is a publicly
  • 00:09:36
    available filing on Alaska's Government
  • 00:09:38
    website that shows all of JD Van's
  • 00:09:40
    public information including his home
  • 00:09:41
    address email address and children's
  • 00:09:43
    names this is a public filing for
  • 00:09:45
    candidacy it's available on alaska.gov
  • 00:09:46
    website if you search it's also
  • 00:09:48
    available on plenty of other public and
  • 00:09:50
    government websites my question to X and
  • 00:09:52
    El musk is this at what point does
  • 00:09:54
    something get labeled as doxing the
  • 00:09:56
    infamous New York Post article shared
  • 00:09:58
    multiple private email addresses of
  • 00:09:59
    Hunter Biden and multiple Associates yet
  • 00:10:02
    X criticizes Jack dorsy for blocking it
  • 00:10:04
    X hasn't deleted posts made by uh made
  • 00:10:07
    with my email address phone numbers or
  • 00:10:08
    photos of my kids they claim the
  • 00:10:10
    information is available Elsewhere on
  • 00:10:11
    the internet so it's not considered
  • 00:10:12
    doxing so where is the consistency what
  • 00:10:15
    are the black and white rules we need
  • 00:10:16
    answers all private email addresses
  • 00:10:18
    viewed the same as private phone numbers
  • 00:10:20
    addresses photos texts messages emails
  • 00:10:22
    uh he makes a few good points I'll agree
  • 00:10:24
    with him um people have published his
  • 00:10:26
    private information and they've not
  • 00:10:28
    taken it down because X does play it
  • 00:10:31
    both ways they did this under Jack dorsy
  • 00:10:33
    and it's still happening now I like Elon
  • 00:10:35
    Musk and I trust him much more than than
  • 00:10:36
    dorsy and and
  • 00:10:38
    V but the argument here is this
  • 00:10:41
    information is JD Vance's private
  • 00:10:42
    information that's know where you got it
  • 00:10:43
    from don't Aid in AB bet people who are
  • 00:10:45
    trying to do bad things so just because
  • 00:10:48
    the information exists somewhere doesn't
  • 00:10:49
    mean you have a right to go tell people
  • 00:10:51
    how to find it or post it on the site
  • 00:10:54
    for everyone to plainly see I take issue
  • 00:10:57
    with how how uh uh actually handles this
  • 00:11:00
    for the most part because what they
  • 00:11:02
    claim is if your information can be
  • 00:11:05
    found anywhere on the Internet it's AOW
  • 00:11:07
    to be published on X and that is
  • 00:11:09
    absolutely psychotic so if a hacker in
  • 00:11:12
    this instance hacks private information
  • 00:11:14
    sends it to a journalist and they
  • 00:11:16
    publish it well interestingly in this
  • 00:11:18
    instance they did take him down why it's
  • 00:11:20
    an honest question I don't like the
  • 00:11:22
    double standard you shouldn't be able to
  • 00:11:24
    post anybody's private information no
  • 00:11:26
    matter where they got it from yeah I
  • 00:11:27
    think that that's right you shouldn't be
  • 00:11:29
    able to publish it um looking at it
  • 00:11:31
    though I didn't think that the New York
  • 00:11:32
    Post published a lot of private emails
  • 00:11:35
    not only that but that wasn't hacked
  • 00:11:37
    yeah they got it from and that was the
  • 00:11:39
    that was the argument of course is that
  • 00:11:42
    um the FBI told Twitter and Facebook
  • 00:11:45
    that if they received essentially that
  • 00:11:48
    if they received a hunter Biden laptop
  • 00:11:50
    that it would be Russian disinformation
  • 00:11:51
    or hacked or something like that so they
  • 00:11:53
    believed it to be hacked for sure even
  • 00:11:55
    though it wasn't but that is that is a
  • 00:11:57
    difference it wasn't hacked but no was
  • 00:11:59
    not yeah not hacked I mean again I don't
  • 00:12:02
    think the points are bad at all I just
  • 00:12:04
    think that means that more people's
  • 00:12:06
    private information should be treated
  • 00:12:08
    like it is uh it's serious to leak that
  • 00:12:10
    information on Twitter uh and I think
  • 00:12:12
    especially again it it's difficult when
  • 00:12:15
    it's a public figure because they think
  • 00:12:18
    any platform might uh treat their case
  • 00:12:21
    uh with a little bit more difference
  • 00:12:24
    than than other cases but it doesn't
  • 00:12:25
    mean you know the cren Stein's private
  • 00:12:27
    information going leak to me is less
  • 00:12:29
    ious it just means that like we are kind
  • 00:12:31
    of losing it as a society I mean what's
  • 00:12:32
    funny too though is that people's public
  • 00:12:35
    information used to be readily available
  • 00:12:36
    the phone book handed it to everyone in
  • 00:12:38
    this great big thing called the white
  • 00:12:40
    PES does still exists and it has yeah it
  • 00:12:42
    has your address and your name and your
  • 00:12:44
    phone number just right there in it and
  • 00:12:46
    it wasn't a big deal to have it be like
  • 00:12:49
    oh I know where you live it would be
  • 00:12:51
    like yeah well so does everybody in this
  • 00:12:52
    ZIP code like everyone knows where every
  • 00:12:54
    it was different when it was like
  • 00:12:55
    something your community knew maybe
  • 00:12:57
    someone would be able to look up whereas
  • 00:12:58
    now you know again if you're a public
  • 00:13:01
    figure and I I I'm happy to include the
  • 00:13:03
    cross scenes in this like you don't know
  • 00:13:05
    what someone who obtains your address is
  • 00:13:07
    going to send you or if they're going to
  • 00:13:09
    show up like the security risks are very
  • 00:13:10
    different when we lived in smaller
  • 00:13:12
    communities if you're not as
  • 00:13:13
    high-profile person it's not that it
  • 00:13:15
    isn't serious if someone sends you
  • 00:13:17
    something bad in the mail but the odds
  • 00:13:19
    of it are a little bit less likely well
  • 00:13:21
    you have the whole swatting thing I mean
  • 00:13:23
    that's really scary yeah and dangerous
  • 00:13:25
    you know that you just have Cops show up
  • 00:13:27
    yeah guns drawn yeah ready to blow your
  • 00:13:30
    face but I I really feel like a lot of
  • 00:13:32
    this is the word dossier right like the
  • 00:13:34
    last time I feel like I remember it used
  • 00:13:35
    widely in in uh American Media was the
  • 00:13:37
    steel dossier I mean there's this idea
  • 00:13:39
    that the dossier is full of you know
  • 00:13:42
    scandalous secrets and it's going to
  • 00:13:43
    reveal all of these things they're
  • 00:13:45
    trying to hide but actually it's just
  • 00:13:47
    sort of a collection of information and
  • 00:13:49
    I wonder if that's that was one of the
  • 00:13:51
    reasons someone was uh tempted to
  • 00:13:54
    publish this because they thought oh you
  • 00:13:56
    know the word dossier will draw
  • 00:13:58
    attention and
  • 00:13:59
    they're ashamed of these things it
  • 00:14:01
    doesn't how did BuzzFeed get a of the
  • 00:14:03
    steel dossier was it leaked to them I it
  • 00:14:07
    was circulating in the media all these
  • 00:14:08
    journalists had and were sharing it same
  • 00:14:10
    they just ran it they just ran the P
  • 00:14:11
    tape thing first yep and they and they
  • 00:14:14
    did this stupid garbage where they're
  • 00:14:16
    like we think this is newsworthy it's
  • 00:14:17
    not right that journalists can see this
  • 00:14:19
    and you can't and it was like well it's
  • 00:14:20
    all unvetted garbage gossip MH you know
  • 00:14:23
    it's like imagine I made a dossier and
  • 00:14:25
    it was like the ca dossier and it's all
  • 00:14:27
    just garbled nonsense as a joke mhm hand
  • 00:14:30
    it off to a journalist who hands it off
  • 00:14:31
    to a journalist who hands it off to a
  • 00:14:32
    journalist rumors start circulating
  • 00:14:34
    about the kamla dossier and then
  • 00:14:35
    someone's like I I think people have a
  • 00:14:37
    right to see what we're talking about
  • 00:14:39
    and then it's like you know Kam Pete on
  • 00:14:41
    the bed with hookers or whatever like
  • 00:14:43
    this I'm just that's what they said
  • 00:14:44
    about trump it was just made up garbled
  • 00:14:46
    nonsense they turned it into a story my
  • 00:14:49
    favorite Trump Aaron news story will
  • 00:14:51
    always be when the H post tweeted
  • 00:14:54
    somewhere there may be a video of trump
  • 00:14:56
    doing something in an elevator what he
  • 00:14:58
    was doing we don't know where it was
  • 00:15:00
    we're not sure but it's the white whale
  • 00:15:02
    of Journalism it's like are you kidding
  • 00:15:03
    me mhm they published that these people
  • 00:15:06
    are psychopaths yeah that is crazy yeah
  • 00:15:08
    we live in a we live in a Web of Lies
  • 00:15:11
    Web of Lies there are a lot of lies
  • 00:15:13
    that's that's lies for days really
  • 00:15:15
    really consistent I mean that was a lot
  • 00:15:17
    of what I remember of the criticism of
  • 00:15:18
    trump in 2016 and going through his
  • 00:15:20
    presidency which like it was like the
  • 00:15:22
    media had this this promise of uh the
  • 00:15:25
    ever evasive Scandal that was about to
  • 00:15:26
    come out and they're about to uncover
  • 00:15:29
    saying and this was true of you know the
  • 00:15:30
    the tapes but also like oh his foreign
  • 00:15:33
    dealings and he did this thing wrong and
  • 00:15:35
    actually maybe there's something like it
  • 00:15:36
    was just constant like they were about
  • 00:15:38
    to unveil something big and they never
  • 00:15:40
    did whereas you know with the bid
  • 00:15:41
    Administration scandals would pop up
  • 00:15:43
    pretty naturally and they'd be like
  • 00:15:45
    doesn't seem like that big a deal well
  • 00:15:46
    it's such a weird thing because the
  • 00:15:48
    double standard is so obvious and
  • 00:15:49
    nowhere is it more clear than in the
  • 00:15:51
    classified documents case with Joe Biden
  • 00:15:54
    and Donald Trump so Donald Trump is the
  • 00:15:57
    president he leaves with documents every
  • 00:16:00
    president does it right Bill Clinton
  • 00:16:02
    notoriously kept private documents in
  • 00:16:04
    his sock drawer right Hillary's emails
  • 00:16:07
    as well Hillary's emails emails the
  • 00:16:09
    Clinton's also left with furniture from
  • 00:16:10
    the White House and had to return it are
  • 00:16:12
    you kidding that's severe I could see
  • 00:16:15
    that like trying to just make off with
  • 00:16:17
    Abe Lincoln's side table but um but yeah
  • 00:16:21
    like you had the justice department say
  • 00:16:23
    that obviously they said that uh bill um
  • 00:16:26
    not Bill Clinton the other one Joe Biden
  • 00:16:29
    that's his name that Joe Biden couldn't
  • 00:16:30
    be prosecuted for keeping classified
  • 00:16:33
    documents even though he had absolutely
  • 00:16:35
    no cause to keep them and Trump is they
  • 00:16:37
    still are trying to uh get the the fact
  • 00:16:40
    that the case was dismissed they're
  • 00:16:41
    trying to get that overturned and get
  • 00:16:42
    back into that into that situation with
  • 00:16:44
    Trump it's absurd so when you see
  • 00:16:46
    something pop up you immediately start
  • 00:16:48
    to think how am I being lied to how is
  • 00:16:52
    the justice department you know
  • 00:16:54
    weaponizing itself against the political
  • 00:16:56
    opponents of the Biden Harris
  • 00:16:57
    Administration how is the media spinning
  • 00:17:00
    this like those are your first thoughts
  • 00:17:01
    your first thoughts aren't um you know
  • 00:17:04
    about the news story or about whatever
  • 00:17:07
    happened or the implications of it your
  • 00:17:08
    first thoughts are who do I distrust
  • 00:17:10
    most in this story who is lying to me
  • 00:17:13
    right yeah and then you had Melania
  • 00:17:14
    Trump this morning on Fox and Friends
  • 00:17:16
    basically saying how it was an invasion
  • 00:17:17
    of her privacy they went through all her
  • 00:17:19
    belongings and she was obviously very
  • 00:17:20
    upset about that and you know these
  • 00:17:22
    people she's she was the former first
  • 00:17:24
    lady but they're still human beings you
  • 00:17:25
    know and to have the FBI raid your home
  • 00:17:27
    go through your personal possession you
  • 00:17:29
    know family photos and whatever you know
  • 00:17:31
    it's she was clearly upset by it and
  • 00:17:33
    she's obviously wrote about that in her
  • 00:17:35
    book and it's like there's such a double
  • 00:17:36
    standard when Joe Biden has all these
  • 00:17:38
    documents in his garage you know he
  • 00:17:39
    seems to get a free pass but then when
  • 00:17:41
    it comes to Trump it's like this
  • 00:17:43
    constant Witch Hunt trying to get him
  • 00:17:44
    and it's like there doesn't seem to be
  • 00:17:46
    equal justice between you know the the
  • 00:17:48
    candidates right and I think Milan Trump
  • 00:17:50
    is a great example of this because she
  • 00:17:52
    has been so ostracized for being married
  • 00:17:54
    to Donald Trump even though she is you
  • 00:17:56
    know a a very private person I mean she
  • 00:18:00
    she didn't really rock the boat as first
  • 00:18:02
    lady and yet everyone kind of acts like
  • 00:18:06
    she is uh culpable for all of the
  • 00:18:09
    criticisms that they have of trump I
  • 00:18:10
    don't care if you criticize Trump but
  • 00:18:12
    you know it was kind of ridiculous when
  • 00:18:13
    designers were like we're refusing to
  • 00:18:15
    dress her she's literally our supermodel
  • 00:18:17
    first lady and you are saying our our
  • 00:18:20
    perception or our understanding of what
  • 00:18:22
    we think you guys represent as a couple
  • 00:18:24
    is more important than reality thanks
