Hang on a second. Trump does U-turns on major issues he campaigned (and therefore won) on and it's the "dissident characters" who believed him are in the wrong for crying foul? I love you Walter, but I don't know how smart people like you haven't realized what's obvious to some of us. Trump is an ideologically unmoored imbecile who is prone to being manipulated by flattery and changes his mind more often than he changes his underwear, based on the Q rating of the last person who was in his ear.

I usually can’t get enough of your podcasts. Today I stopped listening after 15 minutes or so, mostly because of your dismissive attitude toward the Epstein affair. I love hearing what you both have to say about current events, because I’m clueless about politics compared to y’all. I trust your judgment about the importance of news items, but when you failed to address something I (and a lot of other folks) care a lot about deeply—without explaining why you think it isn’t worth your time—I guess I felt dismissed as well.

Another great show! You always leave me with things I’ve failed to think about or see myself. I appreciate that. I keep seeing you guys as Laurel and Hardy with wandering Matt and pretty sure Walter. Whether brilliance or providence, your show works! You should wear the hats sometime.

Hey to be fair I can’t find where Biden granted 40,000 pardons. Sources say around 4,000. Plus he seems cognizant of some of those pardons in this NPR article from January 17, 2025 https://www.npr.org/2025/01/17/g-s1-41788/biden-pardons-commutations-drug-sentences#:~:text=Hourly%20News-,Biden%20issues%202%2C500%20commutations%20and%20sets%20a%20record%20for%20clemency,for%20offenses%20involving%20crack%20cocaine.

Also his pardons besides Fauci and the January 6 committee seem humanitarian and not self- interested. Compared to Trump’s questionable pardons to corporate embezzlers and other criminals

Don't forget Biden's crackhead son Hunter. No self interest there? Oh, he also pardoned his brother. And his sister, too. And his brother's wife. And his sister's wife. And his other brother. So if you forget his two brothers, his sister, their spouses, the J6 committee, I guess there's not too much self interest? Well, except for Fauci, as you pointed out, and Milley which you forget about. And all of officers who testified to the J6 committee.

Yes, you are correct about his family and others. I do not personally approve of those or Fauci etc. Still compare for yourself the list of pardons by both Biden and Trump and notice any differences.

Sounds like a lot of apologist cope for this disappointing administration.

Alright that’s it Walter couldn’t just slink away about the Epstein thing he had to keep digging himself deeper. Unsubscribed.

Watching Walter's interview with Tucker. Walter, he really snookered you with that chair, in the initial shot you look somehow tiny and frail. Was Carlson sitting on a barstool? Or maybe Tucker is just huge.

This note is for Walter - I think he is correct about Luigi but I think he is referencing the wrong movie - this is based on “The life of David Gale” which starred Kevin Spacey and Laura Linney. Luigi is too confident about getting off that it is wired into the whole thing. Plot twist coming with irrefutable evidence.

i doubt that any appointed fbi director actually has full control over the permanent deep state. wray seemed like a boob that had no idea. kash shows up, "where's the files?!" deep state says, "nope, no files." or " here's one. you're on the list" or "let it drop or your family will pay.".......any number of scenarios. If I can come up with stuff, what can a thousand deep state agents that do this for a living come up with?

bottom line, we will never know the truth on this (and many other issues). Even if we get the truth, it will be unrecognizable. too many factions (deep state, foreigners, political parties, motivated individuals) will throw shade and sew doubt and more conspiracy.

at the end of the day we know two things: 1) the government is irredeemably corrupt and has a lock on power, and 2) there will never be any real accountability through a system of "justice" that is designed to protect institutional corruption.

once you get to those two points, you start thinking..........you have two options. allow it to continue or don't allow it. we don't need anymore evidence. no more talking needed. no more distractions.

How do you not allow it exactly?

I'm pretty sure there are implicit threats to family members along with the stonewalling.

The Autopen discussion was so interesting. I thought Autopen was used to make it look like the Pres actually sent me a Christmas/holiday card.

So now, Autopen can void sentences of death row inmates?

So now, Autopen can reverse policy on sentencing guidelines, without explanation? Sort of sounds like The Biden Team ignoring the US Supreme rulings on student loans.

I want full-blown everything on these people by prosecutors who respect the law and know what they are doing and do not grandstand.

In a related story, the DNC was paying Hunter’s legal bills, until maybe — now?
