Before we get started , I'd like to take this opportunity to send birthday wishes to an amazing woman who is dear to all of our hearts . Happy birthday , dear Melania . Happy birthday .
No .
I'm fucking kidding . Hey , this is D Knight from the Part of the Interaction podcast coming to you from Nashville , tennessee . But yes , of course it actually was Melania's birthday . She's not getting the ideal present , I would imagine , and I'm sure you're wondering . Hmm , if it's her birthday , where might her husband be ?
Thank you very much . Everybody Appreciate it . Thank you very much , everybody Appreciate it . I want to start by wishing my wife Melania a very happy birthday . It's nice to be with her , but I'm in a courthouse for a rape trial . It's a rape trial Terrible but we're doing very well in this rape trial . Everybody knows it .
Man stuck in court on your girl's birthday . That is unfortunate , but maybe if you haven't been getting spanked by Stormy Daniels , you wouldn't be in court and you could spend the birthday with the missus .
And in case you're wondering how much she believes him when he says it never happened , Take note of the fact that she hasn't attended a single day of his trial Any of his trials for that matter . Speaking of which , where are the rest of his kids ?
I guess that's not super important , but let's hear more from Donald Trump about how he's handling his day in court , missing his missus .
So we have another day of court in a freezing court house . It's very cold in there . For what purpose , I believe ? They don't seem to be able to get the temperature up . It shouldn't be that complicated . But we have a freezing courthouse and that's fine . That's just fine . Let them keep handing it out . This is a rigged trial .
Thank you very much , mr Dross .
You're not going to jail , Mr Dross .
Do you think there's going to ?
Is it really that cold in there ? Or is he just thinking about his bedroom , where it's gotten cold and lonely here recently ? Regardless , there's no reason for him to be railing against the cold courtroom constantly like bro , have you ever heard of dressing in layers ? That is an option .
Or maybe you're just getting old and you need to go get your levels checked . That's also a possibility , and I don't know about you all , but when it's cold I personally have a hard time going to sleep . It's like really uncomfortable when it's really cold , but when it's warm , that puts me right out .
But clearly the cold is no obstacle to Donald Trump catching some Zs and well , considering the type of women he was sleeping with with no condom , it's surprising that he's not caught more than Z's .
I also have another source who's inside the courtroom who asked that I not name them specifically , but this source had a very interesting take of what was going on in the courtroom and it confirmed all of the other reporting that I've just read for you .
Let me take a look , and just so I want to make sure I get this absolutely 100% accurate right here as to what was going on in the courtroom .
They said that Trump looked to actually be in close to deep REM sleep , that his lids are heavy , oftentimes look like he's about to fall asleep , but then he's taking full-on bona fide naps , possibly REM sleep taking place .
While it's clearly past Don Snorleone's jail time , there were quite a few stunning revelations from the Trump trial this week . For instance , a media outlet conspiring to suppress and kill negative stories about Donald Trump , while pushing and promoting negative stories about his opponent , and speaking of Trump's opponent in the 2024 election .
I'm sure you're probably wondering . Hmm , I wonder what Joe Biden's up to . He's definitely not sleeping in court . He actually instead did a live interview with the infamous radio host Howard Stern .
When Obama had his time to appoint a Supreme Court justice , he was going to appoint Garland . These maniacs in the Senate said no way , not interested . And now we've got a Supreme Court . That's nuts .
Well , it's a really extremely conservative court , maybe the most conservative court in modern history . And when they struck down Roe v Wade saying that it was not constitutionally federal , constitutionally guaranteed it was a state issue , states can make those judgments . Lucy guaranteed it was a state issue . States can make those judgments .
And one of the justices , clarence Thomas , said it's not that women don't have a choice . They can , in fact , change it if they , in effect , at a state level , like but we'll see if they have any power .
Most conservative Supreme Court ever . Dude , they just got finished arguing in support of the idea of granting immunity to presidents even for ordering the assassination of their own political opponents . What if their political opponent is the Supreme Court ? That ain't conservatism . That is insanity .
They are willing to sign their own death warrants in order to bail Trump out . It's forking bananas . Let's play the next clip .
Can I tell you a fantasy I had ? I don't know if you're going to debate Trump out , it's forking bananas . Let's play the next clip . Can I tell you a fantasy I had ? I don't know if you're going to debate your opponent .
I am somewhere , I don't know when , I'm happy to debate him .
This is how I would handle it . Tell me if I'm nuts Well , I am nuts , but tell me if this is accurate . I would stand there on stage with Trump and I would repeat over and over again excuse me , please find me 11,000 votes so that I can win the election .
I would just repeat that over and over again and then I'd say to the audience what are we debating ? A man picked up the phone and wanted to say fake the election , give me 11,000 votes . I don't know how any American who loves this country that's the end of the debate . You don't get to run if you're going to fix an election On .
January 6th , when the they were storming the .
Capitol and a police officer died .
Yeah , and he would say nothing . He was sitting in that office off that dining area , off the Oval Office , for three hours and said nothing .
Well , that's not completely true . Actually , trump was saying a lot of things .
He was calling conservative members of Congress and asking them to do everything in their power to steal the election , and he also sent out a tweet saying that Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what he'd be done to overturn the 2020 election , and that's when the mob tried to hang him . But let's play the next clip .
I was supposed to make a speech on the economy that day . Instead I made a speech from Delaware . I was in Delaware on that issue because I was elected president , but I wasn't sworn in yet . It was derelict , it was almost criminal . He did nothing . He just sat there and watched what was happening Not a single . And now he wants to call .
He calls them patriots and victims . I mean it says he's going to pardon them all if he's reelected .
Side note , our podcast is called Pardon the Insurrection . It's supposed to be tongue in cheek If you're familiar with the long running ESPN show Pardon the Interruption . It's kind of a play on that . It's supposed to be taken . Ironically , trump is literally talking about pardoning the insurrectionists .
But I mean I guess I'm glad we beat them to the title at least , like I'm sure they were eventually going to come up with the idea . Like I can only imagine what it must be like being a MAGA supporter and you're scrolling through your podcast You're like , oh , pardon the insurrection , I want to pardon the insurrectionists .
Man , are they in for a surprise when they press play on that bad boy ? But let's get to the next clip .
How do some of the guys that you served in the Senate with I'm talking about Republicans how are they going along with this ? Well , I don't think .
Look , this is not your father's Republican Party . No , it isn't . This is , you know , a lot of Republicans , including the old segregationists that I served with , who at least you could talk to , at least on matters relating to .
They were totally wrong on civil rights , but the fact is that they understood there's a need for a consensus to run this country and I've had , and I gave my word I'd never say their names and I never will . In the last three years I've had seven sitting Republican senators . Two are gone .
Now seven sitting Republican senators call me to tell me Joe , I agree with you , but I just can't do it . He'll go , he'll get me .
He's going to get them . Like is he threatening their lives ? Just these people ? Look , Republicans in the Senate had the opportunity to be rid of this dude in 2021 , right after the coup where they had the opportunity . If just a handful more of them had stepped up and convicted him in his impeachment trial , he would be out of their hair .
But now here they are , being held hostage by a man that they're afraid to speak out against because of whatever consequences they imagine might happen . Like is he threatening the Supreme Court too ? Well , guys , like , maybe you shouldn't give him immunity , because if he comes after you , at least he'll go to jail for it .
My God , with these people , let's get to the next clip .
That's what I was going to ask you . Do you get these calls in secret where guys go listen ? I can't say it publicly , but I'm for you and I'm going to vote for you . I'm a Republican , but screw it , I can't vote for this guy because he's talking about ending the democracy .
Well , they're not saying they're going to vote for me . They're saying I agree with you .
And do you say to them you coward , why don't you say something publicly ? Where's Jeb Bush ? Where's George Bush ? Where are these guys ? Why don't they say , hey , I'm interested in saving the democracy for our grandchildren ?
Well , I don't think the election's over yet on that score .
What do you think's going to happen ?
I can't imagine you're going to lose , but Well , look , he's promised if he doesn't win , there's going to be a bloodbath . Can you imagine ? Here's what bothers me most . We have a fundamentally different value set .
For example , when he was in Paris , he wouldn't go to that grave site and said there are losers , these men and women who were killed in the battle defending America , Losers . And I just I'm glad I wasn't there , because I think I would have my son's in one of those graves . He's in one of the graves back here , not there .
And the idea that they're losers and suckers .
And McCain's a loser . He said .
McCain's a loser . Well , McCain's a loser . When John McCain got out of prison and was released , he came work for me . He was a Senate liaison officer . We traveled over a hundred thousand miles together and he was like an assistant because he worked for the he was a fabulous man .
I got to meet him before he died no , he's a straight up guy , man .
Yeah , tough as hell and uh , but I , I , just I , I . I find I can't fathom a president of the united States of America saying that the folks who died defending this country were suckers and losers .
For the record , President Biden was about to say that if he had been there he would have beat Trump's orange ass , and here's a clip of President Biden speaking about his son , Beau , who served in the military .
Here . You were a US senator and you know the song by Credence Clearwater I'm Not a Fortunate Son . Your son he is a son of a senator , joins the military and was in Iraq Look um .
And Bo , my son Bo , should be sitting there instead of me . He's more capable than I am . And he was the attorney general of the state of Delaware . And one day I came home , he came over to the house he was living in Delaware and he said Dad , what are you doing ? On Friday , I said what do you need ? He said I need you to pin my bars on me .
I said pin your bars on you . What the hell are you talking about ? So I joined the National Guard and facetiously said somebody's got to do this anyway .
Were you in shock that he joined the National Guard ?
No , I wasn't in shock . It didn't surprise me . It's just he had to give up the attorney general's job because you either have to work for the president or for the state . So he was attorney general at that point he was attorney general turned it back over to a Republican who had been there before Wow and went for a year .
The problem was he lived next to one of those burn pits . He came back with a bronze star . He came back with a service medal . He also came back with stage four glioblastoma . The brain injuries out of Iraq are extreme , like they were the people in 9-11 , all those firefighters because of the toxic fumes .
You're convinced that the reason he got brain cancer is oh , I know it , it's been determined .
Yeah , and a lot of them did .
A lot of them Did he call you and say , Dad , I've gotten a horrible diagnosis .
No , he came home and it just kept getting worse . And that's when he realized they did the analysis . And then he was in Walter Reed for a long time . But I wrote a book called Promise Me , dad . He knew his time was up and one night we were having dinner at our home before he was incapacitated , hospitalized , and he said dad , uh , can we talk ?
And I said sure . And I said I . He said look at me , dad , promise me dad . Promise me , dad that you'll not leave public life . I know when I go you'll , you'll want to quit , you'll , you'll want to quit . And he looked at to quit . And he looked at me , said Dad , give me your word as a Biden , give me your word .
Wow , look at me , I give my word on the health of my family . He said promise me Dad , he won't step back . And I made the promise Before he passed away . No , excuse me . Last thing he said before he passed away . I mean , literally we were in the hospital about hunting , I with him , lying in bed with him .
He looked at me and said I'm not scared , dad , it's okay , I'm not scared , it's okay . He was gone within anyway .
Wow , say what you want about President Biden , but I can tell you this one thing for sure that man cares . He's experienced some extraordinarily traumatic loss over the course of his life and that shaped him into a president who cares , who's compassionate , who's considerate and who's empathetic . Take the pandemic , for instance .
You know something that's touched all of our lives to some degree or another and cost , you know , two million American lives , president Biden having lost his son to a disease . I think that made him right for this job . His predecessor left him with no pandemic response plan and no vaccine rollout , no PPE , nothing .
President Biden got into office and made that his first priority .
He got that up and running , got the vaccines rolled out , saved numerous American lives , and you know there are multiple foreign wars going on at this point and despite whatever you may think about the specifics of his policies , I can tell you and , as you've seen from that video , there's no one more acquainted with the cost of war when it comes to human lives .
And just keep that in mind and also , like , just for comparison's sake , like you see , how much President Biden still thinks of his son . You remember when Trump's brother died mysteriously in the middle of the pandemic ? Oh , that's right . You ain't never heard Trump mention his ass again , have you ? No , you have not . Oh , what about Trump's ex-wife ?
That's right . They buried her on the par five of this golf course . Someone needs to go get out there and mow her grave at his golf course . Someone needs to go get out there and mow her grave , like , just for comparison's sake . Like Biden is one of the most caring and empathetic human beings and I'm glad to have him as president .
