ays in a row? I don't know which one of those is worse, but how in the world is that not the biggest story? I mean, really, do Democrats look at those videos and think, "Oh, that looks normal." It's so not normal. If you watch a video of her when she's not drunk, do you know what she looks like when she's not drunk? I mean, it's very easy to tell when she's not drunk. And by the way, I don't know…

e what a bad person he is, I mean, he's a really bad person based on his own statements, that's a bad person. I will hunt you.

By the way, do you remember my famous most mocked prediction that if Biden got elected, Republicans would be hunted? Here was Biden's head of his FBI saying that he will, he uses the word hunt. We will hunt you down even if all you did was a misdemeanor. Hunted. Yeah, it's exactly what it was.

I saw this video, a clip by Maz. Maz is a real good follow. If you're on X, you should definitely follow Maz. M A Z. What Maz does is whenever there's a story in the news, somehow he finds exactly the right clip that gives you that context for the story. That is really good. So follow Maz. If you're on X, that one's a no-brainer. Just look for MAZ and give him a follow. You will be glad you did.

Catherine Herridge, as you know, intrepid reporter, very good reputation as a reporter. She said based on her two decades of covering the FBI, she thinks that this little indictment that's like one page for Comey, she thinks that what we're seeing is not what it will be in the end. That apparently there's something called a holding charge, which I didn't know was a thing, a holding charge. So it sounds like my best explanation of that, I'm no lawyer, but it looks like if you need to get in under the statute of limitations and you don't have all your ducks in order and you don't have your full case, that you could put in a charge just to put your stake in the ground, make sure you didn't time out the statute of limitations.

So Catherine is saying that what this might turn into is a much more detailed, complex, much bigger case and that you can't judge it from the initial holding charge if it's a holding charge. So we don't know that for sure, but Catherine says she sees a pattern. So this would be a pattern that she recognizes. I would take that seriously. She's a good observer of patterns. So I would call that credible and that more probably a bunch of other people will be dragged in and maybe there's a RICO thing here.

There is a new report from a non-government entity called the Capital Research Center. Ryan Morrow did some big investigation and found that George Soros' Open Society Foundation gave over $80 million to what they're labeling terrorists and pro-terrorist groups. Terrorists and pro-terrorist groups. Now there might be a little bit of judgment involved as to whether or not a group is a terrorist group. But there are some examples that look to me like not something you'd want funded. And the Soros organization has responded and said they have never funded any terror and they have very good standards and they would never do a thing like that. So we'll see. I assume that that just has to do with who defines who as a terrorist organization or terrorist-supporting organization.

My take on this which has been the same for a long time. I don't believe that the senior Soros has really understood where his money was going. Maybe for a number of years and that some weasels in the organization were calling the shots and not giving him all the information he needed to know where his money was going. That's what I think. I think you'll find that probably not even Alex. I don't even think it was necessarily his son. Probably somebody in the organization had a little bit too much influence and were a little bit too left even for him is my guess.

Well, I was trying to think how psychologically torturing it must be for the people who know that they're on Trump's list, like Mark Elias, the Democrat lawyer who is famed for doing really good work for the benefit of his side. So really effective. And he got a bunch of rules and laws changed so that the Democrats could win in 2020. Didn't break any laws as far as I know, but he's worried that he'll be targeted. And I was thinking about the psychological torture of that.

So once they watch Comey being brought in on what they would say would be thin charges, then they know that they can be brought in on thin charges. Soros knows where his money goes unless he's gotten senile. Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying he's gotten senile. He's like 100 years old. That's exactly what I'm saying.

And then I was thinking, you know, think about the torture that they put Trump and his family through. Imagine waking up every day if you're Melania and you don't know if your husband's going to go to jail for nothing, you know, nothing important. And some of his closest people went to jail. So imagine the torture of knowing that you could be next and then suddenly the legal documents show up and you're like, there goes the next five to 10 years of my life, even if I'm found innocent. I'm going to use up all my money, all my time, my reputation. I mean, it's just terrible. And now Trump is returning the favor.

So as these indictments trickle out because they're not all going to happen at the same time, every time there's a new one, everybody who has not yet been indicted but thinks maybe they could is going to live in terror. Like every moment of every day, they're going to think, "God, is this going to happen to me? Is it any minute?" You know that Brennan and Clapper and them.

All right, I'm just looking at some of your comments. So anyway, the psychological torture is a real big part of the story, but it's kind of invisible. It's got to be quite a weight.

Speaking of which, the Department of Justice subpoenaed the travel records of Fani Willis per the New York Times. So Fani, one of the people who tried to lawfare Trump, has got to be worried because they're digging into all of her records and stuff. I can't imagine why they would want to look at her travel records unless they're trying to

find out if she used her money on her boyfriend or they're trying to find out if she was influenced by some other country. It's not entirely clear why they would want that. But from her perspective, that is psychological torture. Do I mind? No, I don't. I do not mind that she's being psychologically tortured. I believe that she is essentially a criminal. I would consider her a criminal. Even if sh…
