unanimous question mark top takeaways
from Supreme Courts ruling to keep Trump
on the ballot this is USA today's story
it was very hard for them to write this
article but they did their best thumbs
the Supreme Court unanimously ruled
against efforts to Bar former president
Trump from running again emphasizing the
need to prevent a state-by-state
patchwork on Trump's candidacy Trump's
celebrated decision as a big win for
America conversely The Challengers saw
the ruling as a narot technical offramp
that didn't address the full story
liberal justices including Sonia Sodom
Elena Kagan and Katan G Brown Jackson
criticized the majority for exceeding
necessary bounds echoing Chief Justice
John Roberts stands on avoiding
unnecessary ruling Justice Amy Cony
Barrett emphasized the unanimity of the
decision with acknowledging differences
in opinion and the results
90 I believe what the results was Tom so
Tom how big of a deal is this story I
mean everybody's seeing it some are not
selling it as a big deal some are saying
this the biggest decision of the last
eight years how big was this this is
huge um back on February 8th on this
podcast we talked about how big it was
going to be because the opening
arguments and people need to understand
America needs a civics lesson excuse me
American Media needs a damn civics
lesson because they're lobbying the
Supreme Court as if you Lobby the court
to get what you want oh just support
Colorado keep them off the ballot that's
not the way it works and you don't want
the back end of this how big was this
let me tell you how big this was you had
the supreme court hearing first of all
they agreed to hear the case they didn't
have to do that but solicitor general
and four justices Is What It Takes says
okay we'll agree to hear the case so
they hear the case February 8th oral
arguments are heard and what was very
interesting I think the qu here's a
quote from from the Supreme Court I
think the question you have to confront
is why a single state should decide who
gets to be president of the United
States in other words you know this
question of whether a formal president
is disqualified for Insurrection to be
president again that sounds very
National to me who said that Elena Kagan
the second most liberal Justice on the
court oh wow that was her that was her
and so that's during the oral arguments
on February 8th and then you know the
media wasn't paying attention that here
were the people that already felt it was
National and were on the record saying
it's National and that that the states
don't read the Constitution to make a
decision on the state level that's a
federal document the US Constitution so
here we go let's count you ready to
count with me let's go okay Clarence
Thomas one says then you've got the
Trump Trio Amy Comey Barrett two says
Neil Gorsuch three Brett Kavanagh four
and our friend getting older Clarence
Thomas five so that's 5-4 decision
ladies and gentlemen this was 54 going
down as far as long ago as January 15th
so why is it big it was big because
Roberts went with the conservative
majority on this saying it's a federal
thing John Roberts and and Sandra sodomy
who we just heard heard didn't here from
her to Elena Kagan sodar is very big on
voters rights and so she's not going to
line up on this because if you allow
them to do it she called it basically
that you would have electoral Mayhem
meaning States would say you're off the
ballot you're off the ballot well it
only takes one election for the other
side to have a majority and then they
take guys off the ballot so sodomy was
like no we can't do this seven there's
seven remember I said it was going to be
72 you did and I thought uh keni Katan
Jackson and I thought that um s Elena
Kagan will go the other way but during
arguments Kagan was the one that just
gave the quote here so this was a very
big deal to basically tell the States
you do not preside over Federal things
period that's the way it went um and
that was huge and the news media needs a
civics lesson because they were all
yesterday freaking out Adam well to all
the Vinnie haters out there that think
Vinnie can't count to nine he just
proved you wrong he only got the seven I
but something tells me he knows eight n
i could I could have done it I think you
know 10 as well he can't count the 21
unless he's naked
hey hey top um well let's go over
Colorado was the first state that
introduced this uh into the atmosphere
and then I think it was followed by
Maine and Illinois uh but I think it's
great to see that there's just a
universal ruling uh by the Supreme Court
Rob I sent you something by the way um
you know you tend to think that 9 O's
are sort of anomalies like oh my God
90's completely
unanimous um we the the
54 um rulings tend to get all the
headlines it's contentious who knows
what's going on um but here it keep
scrolling down despite popular
misconception the most common rulings by
the Supreme Court are in fact 90 meaning
they tend to agree with each other
universally more than disagree
uh the 54 gets contentious Rovers weight
everything that gets polarized out there
but this is a very common ruling and
this is a very common sense ruling um
one of the key words that we always use
around here is accountability another
rule another word that I think should be
uh vocalized is the concept of fairness
and you know the right to a fair trial
the right to a fair jury a fair judge
and this just seems fair universally so
I think you know last Point uh to my
Democratic friends out there with Donald
Trump you know you're accused of
politization of the justice system
you're accused of election interference
here's my advice win the game during the
game AKA election stop trying to win
this thing in the pregame win or cheat
because I made I took a little bit time
I made a list of all of the left all the
Democrats made up up to date failed
election interference tactics this is a
whole different game that they're
playing first and I'm going to do this
fast Obama CIA spied on Trump in his
campign yeah yeah okay ready Obama spied
on Trump in his campaign one okay
Hillary in the DNC fake Russian
collusion hoax two they impeached him
twice three they indicted him four times
arrested him four times 91 criminal
charges none of that worked so then okay
then all these states Tred to disqualify
him from their ballots that just failed
90 okay and now you have people like
Colorado Democrats Secretary of State
Jenna grizwald she goes it will be up to
the American voters to save our
democracy remember I said that about a
couple months ago you're going to keep
hearing that now that that it's election
year and then Keith alberman P I don't
know if you saw this guy Rob can you
show the his tweet you want to talk
about Trump derangement syndrome and I
think that there should be a home there
should be a a a new practice that like
for psychiatrists that just deal with
Trump the arrangement syndrome we could
have like maybe value tment could start
it what do you mean that's how I got
cured buddy well that that's what I'm
talking so he's malfunctioning so bad
look at this thing he goes the Supreme
Court has betrayed democracy its members
including Jackson but he's turning on on
his own people and sador have proved
themselves inept this is the Supreme
Court to reading comprehension and
collectively the court has shown itself
to be corrupt and illegitimate it must
be dissolved he's calling for the
desolution hold on he wants to dissolve
the Supreme Court okay this is what he's
talking about because they wouldn't do
what he wants yeah because he's a
scumbag and then Hillary Clinton Rob I
sent that clip of her on Instagram I
love it anytime something like this
happens they always have to go to the
Hillary look at Hillary Clinton's
attitude on let me see if she says
saving
democracy without talking about the
opinion which I haven't had a chance to
read and study she might kill some
people Court would make that decision I
can't hear this can you go back please
I'm not surprised that ultimately it's
up about the opinion which I haven't had
a chance to read and study um I'm not
surprised that this court would make
that decision and I'm not surprised that
ultimately it's up to the American
people to prevent him from Ever Getting
near the Oval Office again and that's
what we have to do meaning actual
election you ready for this this is
coming from the woman that started the
entire fake Russian collusion that
people still are talking about today so
here's my question Tom I want to ask you
too like now what the establishment is
running out of options okay they either
have to you know let the vote happen
which they'll probably do something
something with mail and ballots or some
weird thing or they're going to have to
like killing him killing Trump is it has
to be on the table and this is where I
came up with this story I found
yesterday uh Pat this story came out
yesterday on the same day that they
ruled on this the FBI rob you have this
one the FBI Miami has launched an urgent
Manhunt for Iranian secret agent ma
Majid destani fani I said that with the
Persian slang he's accused of plotting
to assassinate Trump air officials
including M Mike pompe
and the Revenge killing for Iranian
General Hussein solomani so according to
leaked us intelligence it is alleged
that the terrorist leaders are seeking
to revenge for the killing of solomani
and they have made life-threatening
threats to Donald Trump Mike Pompeo and
general Kenneth McKenzie maybe that's
one of the reason that they're leaving
the Border wide open because it's votes
okay it's potentially bringing in these
soldiers for cyber attacks and let's
just say let's just say this guy's
mission is to go and knock out Trump
anything listen anything is on the table
with these people I I'll I trust the
government zero and I know a lot of
people out there like oh Vinnie's this
crazy conspir no no no no no these
people are here it's out in the open and
they're not even hiding anymore their
goal is to get rid of this guy because
if you think about it what do they want
at the end of the day Civil War pushes
the Civil War have the military come in
and take our guns and it's game over I
think it's I think it's really really
simple I when you look at guys like
Keith obman and not that we should be
talking about him or giving him you know
any credit or anything here it's which
is a greater greatest threat to
democracy fair and open elections or a
guy that doesn't get his way and wants
to dissolve one of the three branches of
government that guy the ladder the
ladder where's the greater threat to
democracy good Lord but by the way Le
let's let's kind of flip this real quick
okay let's say actually I'm trying to
find a story here from a book that I
want to read to you guys I'm having a
hard time finding it hopefully I'll find
it here in a second let's say this
actually went the other way around let's
say the left had control of Supreme
Court 72 and let's say they actually did
do that what happens today what happens
to America today what does Tuesday look
like if yesterday goes 72 the other way
around he's off the ballot you know what
that means guess who's been sticking
around the elections for all this time
not dropping out does her name start
with Nikki of course it does guess what
she was hoping for that exactly she was
hoping for this to happen because this
was her way of being president Nikki
right so very strategic on her end
secondly yesterday I had one of my
favorite conversations of the year with
steo steo from uh uh uh Jack Jack he
came up here he pulled up here with his
RV he had me on his podcast him and five
of his friends and his dad was the best
conver I'm telling you one of my
favorite conversations maybe the podcast
was 2 hours that we sat on talking and
at first I'm like I don't even know what
the hell we're going to be talking about
it was unfreaking believable the combo
we had yesterday right and his dad and
you'll see this is not very optimistic
about what's going on with America his
dad used to be an executive he was a
former president of Pepsi in Brazil and
uh steveo's dad his dad his dad is a
legit legit guy it's got a citizenship
from three different countries UK US and
Canada mhm and we started talking about
what direction America's going right now
and he says look this thing is done with
this is this is in a place there's
nothing else you guys can do about it
you know he was very negative about it
wasn't very much optimistic about the
whole thing that's going on here with
America we should get him a future looks
bright shirt for me for me I am convince
this run again I've been talking about
this the last few weeks this run started
off with Obama's first term they won
they injected Obamacare your taxes are
not going to go up you're not going to
feel a thing you know you're not going
to have a single penny what happened to
taxes overnight boom business owners
felt if you want to keep your doctor you
keep your doctor keep your doctor it was
all a lie none of that stuff happened
then uh all of a sudden racism started
coming back up in America everybody
started feeling like oh my God America's
racist America's racist so then second
term they got back-to-back wins then
Trump messed it up for them and he tried
everything in his power to make sure
Trump wouldn't win all that stuff's not
coming out and Trump won so then the
series is two to one the left is still
up then Biden wins very strategic
Twitter files the only files we know is
Twitter files you know what files we
don't know we don't know YouTube files
we don't know Google files we don't know
Facebook files we don't know any of the
other files the only files we know right
now is Twitter files right the X Files
whatever you want to call it right files
exist that's right they do exist so then
uh Biden wins now you have this so
today the fact that the nine Supreme
Court Justices especially the left chose
to go this route that means they're
choosing long-term thinking instead of
short-term thinking Kudos today them
okay it's great that logically they were
able to sit there even though they can't
stand a trump they cannot stand the fact
that this guy's going to be the
candidate so then this leads to a story
from variety Rob do we have the variety
story here where they're kind of like
you know so many great people have
stepped away and they've been so Noble
to step away Rob Tom you know which
story we're talking about was it variety
Tom you and I were talking about it
yesterday in podcast prep Tom I'm
talking you know was ity or was it some
else was it uh uh do you know what story
I'm talking about or no okay so remember
when they said why doesn't Trump just
step away and no longer run was it
variety or was it a oh yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah and they were like um they
were actually pointing it out at Biden
they said there have been some great
people that stepped away Harry Truman
stepped away Lyndon Johnson stepped away
though do you remember who whose story
that was that said that I don't know
anyway so what's the point uh uh guys
one of your ringers is on so if you can
turn off your ringer or someone's
ringers on so they they now want him to
step away they want Bon to step away
they desperately want Trump to step away
okay they're like look why don't you
guys go be Noble like these other men
that stepped away in the past so now
they're indirectly begging Trump to
leave to step away but here's a part
here's a part that we're not thinking
