So let me get this straight.
I'm supposed to what?
Go crazy?
Feel sorry for?
Demand the release of Brittany Griner?
Why?
Tell me the reason why.
What did she do or not do that would require...
Our intervention on her part as to Russia arresting her and incarcerating her and sentencing her to nine and a half years or what have you for, what, hashish vaping cartridges or whatever the reason?
Now, why am I supposed to feel sorry for her?
What did she do?
That's so different.
Just explain it to me.
Is it because of who she is?
What she looks like?
What demographic she enjoys?
What?
Is this some part of this selective, woke sensitivity towards some people and their due process concerns elsewhere?
Didn't you ever see Midnight Express when you were a kid?
Don't you know what happens?
What do people think is going to happen when you go to another country, Russia, and violate their laws or not even look into what their laws are?
And let's talk about real due process deprivations as to American citizens in this country who were thrown into basement gulags in D.C. for daring, daring.
To protest an election they thought was unfair or incorrect or wrong or invalid.
The same way that Hillary Clinton thought the same way when she was blaming the Russians.
Unfounded.
Interesting how it comes full circle.
I want to discuss that in detail.
But first, a word from our sponsor.
A new study reveals nearly 50% of adults rated vision loss as the worst Possible health outcome.
Those questions voted that losing vision would be worse than losing a limb, their hearing, speech, or memory.
The things you need for healthy vision cannot be produced by the body.
You must be supplementing them into your diet, otherwise your eyesight suffers.
You need vitamins.
The eye vitamins you want to maintain and support healthy vision are in this amazing new pill.
This product helps protect your eyes against the dangerous blue light emitted from phone and computer screens, while simultaneously supporting vision contrast, eye processing speed, glare recovery, cognitive function, and more.

Look, point of order, as it were.
Let me explain something to you.
I think that drug laws are stupid.
Possession laws, even trafficking for that matter.
The whole reason why sometimes we create this drug trafficking is by making it illegal.
And for the most part, people who are involved in drugs are not doing it to make money.
They're doing it because of an addiction or some other problem.
Not only that.
I don't know if this is natural law or libertarian or whatever you want to call it.
It doesn't matter what you do to yourself.
It's up to you.
You can smoke cigarettes, drink yourself to death.
It doesn't matter.
You want to smoke weed or vape?
It's up to you.
Here.
I don't have any jurisdiction in Russia.
I keep asking people, don't you know when you go to a foreign country what you can and can't bring?
I've got a friend of mine one time who was so upset because they threw out half of his sausage and cheese from France.
Saucy-son and all this jazz.
That was just sausage.
He didn't read the rules.
That's the way it goes.
Do you know how many Americans, right now as we speak, are stuck in some foreign jail?
Some who's gal?
Do you have any idea?
No, of course not.
Because this never came up before.
Now, for the first time, people are interested in it.
And now, for the first time, they're saying, wow, this is really something.
This is really...
This is terrible what they did.
Who in the hell is Brittany Griner?
Why?
Please.
Is she the only American?
No.
What's the big deal?
Just tell me.
See, this is the part that drives me nuts.
And it's not a very long ride, admittedly, but this is why I hate the death penalty.
We feel sorry for certain people.
Remember in 1989, I don't know, Carla Faye Tucker?
She was on death row.
She pickaxed some guy to death.
Brutal murder.
But she found Jesus.
And she was this nice white lady with curly hair.
She was doing hand dancing, whatever the hell that was called.
And they asked George Bush, would you commute her sentence?
No.
The Pope wanted it.
The Dalai Lama.
Hello, Dalai.
Everybody, Dalai Barton.
Everybody wanted her to be commuted.
Why?
Because she looked nice.
Now, at the same time, there were other folks who also found religion, Islam, And they were black, and they were not as attractive, perhaps, in some eyes.
Maybe their name was Mustafa.
And they converted to Islam.
And they just didn't have that same kind of, well, you know, the identification.
I can't identify with that as much.
That drove me nuts.
This guy found God.
This guy found religion.
But what?
He doesn't look the part.
It's so subject to how people look.
Tukey Williams, remember this?
I think that's his name.
He was the crip or whatever it was on Death Row.
Remember that?
He turned his life around.
A lot of people on Death Row do that.
It's subject to this ridiculous kind of marketing.
How can you sell this person?
They're a human being.
That's why I hate the death penalty.
I hate it.
Because we go through this.
We go through this Brittany Griner thing.
What did she do?
What did she do?
Why is she so special?
Anybody care about any other Americans?
I'm repeating myself.
Now, here's the other deal.
Now they're talking about all of a sudden, all of a sudden, maybe, negotiating her prisoner exchange for what?
Victor Boot?
The merchant of death?
Here's where I completely lose my mind.
The woke, left, anarchic, nihilistic, radical types just hate the notion of guns.
They hate guns.
They hate...
Oh, what is it?
They hate...
Assault weapons.
They hate...
What else do they hate?
Oh, they hate all kinds of stuff because assault weapons are weapons of war.
Remember that one?
An AR-15 is a weapon of war and that's why we've got to ban these.
Oh, does that rifle have what?
A bayonet?
A tab or something which I've never seen before?
A retractable stock?
It's an assault weapon.
That's okay for the battleground.
That's okay for the war.
Remember that?
Second Amendment, they always say this, you know, James and Madison never ever imagined somebody having an AR-15.
It was just a musket because we hate war and we hate instruments of war.
We hate guns, right?
Victor Boot, the Russian, this arms merchant, the deadliest dude ever who probably personally, personally Armed and was responsible for more death and destruction in war with actual real legitimate assault weapons.
They're talking about exchanging him?
The hypocrisy.
And speaking of hypocrisy.
Carmelita Harris.
This yammering, tackling, cackinating...
This, I don't know, this kookaburra, this hebephrenic, pseudobulber-affected lunatic who says nothing, who was in a position that nobody can understand.
I mean, let's face it, the big three.
You've got the White House occupant, Jojo Pops, who's walking around yelling, who ordered the veal cutlet?
He's out of his mind.
Then you got this one, number two, and then number three, The most incompetent person in any capacity ever.
You've got Karine Jean-Pierre who every day redefines...
It's incredible!
But let's go back.
So Carmelita, when she was DA and Attorney General, she pounded more people for mere possession of weed and drugs.
She didn't care about this.
But now...
Oh, now because they told her.
Because Brittany Griner.
Well, she's different.
And the real issue, which really has nothing to do with it, but I'm surprised nobody's bringing it up, is why does she have to go to Russia to make money anyway?
Why doesn't our culture spend the same amount of money and have the same type of reverence and love for female powers?
WNBA.
Is that a part of our racist bit, too?
Oh, please.
Dear God, there's no end to this.
Now, let me say this.
I don't have a beef against Brittany Griner at all.
But what I do have a beef with and a problem with are the number of Americans.
Who decided that they were going to protest an election they didn't think was kosher.
And they don't have to explain why.
They don't have to get approval.
They're not election deniers.
They're exercising the same right that Hillary Clinton did when she said 2016 wasn't valid.
Because of Russia.
Because of Putin.
Of interference.
An infiltration and a contamination and a putrescence of the franchise from Vladimir Putin without any basis for this whatsoever.
Nobody told her, hey Hill, shut up!
Come on, you denier you!
No, they applauded it.
They applauded it.
They perpetuated it.
They absolutely validated all of it to get this Russophobia going.
Oh yeah, don't think for a moment that was done just at her behest or her benefit.
Oh no, no, no, that was a part of this narrative that's been rolling out in 25-year increments.
This is the latest edition of this.
But nobody told her anything.
But yet there were Americans who were tossed into the who's gal, the pokey, the gray bar in, and held without bail.
They weren't going anywhere.
There were American citizens facing, in many respects, merely what?
Misdemeanors?
For insurrection?
Rebellion?
Come on!
Now, there were some folks.
Oh, absolutely.
Under the statutes of this year's conspiracy?
You betcha!
But if you go back and look at what that thing was, that was like a scrum.
It was a passion play.
It was this weird kind of a mosh pit of everybody from FBI informers to agents, provocateurs to agents, provocateurs.
You can imagine.
But those Americans, nobody's going to bat for them.
Nobody's worrying about their due process.
Nobody's worrying about their freedom.
Nobody's worrying about their ability to make bail, to appreciate rights here, not in Russia.
Nobody cares about them at all.
Nothing.
But Brittany Griner, oh, I'm supposed to drop what I'm doing and drop to my knees and point to wherever and demand that she be released, even if it means exchanging her for Victor Boot.
Are you out of your...
Apparently so.
So think about that, my friend.
Think about this.
Doesn't this hypocrisy make you sick?
Don't you feel like this country has been invaded by some other life force, some contaminant, some weird...
It's like possessed by this parallel universe, demented dimension.
Think about it.
I can't wait to see what you have to say.
