I just remember I remember back in like I guess it would be 16 I remember sitting at my cubicle at ESPN and there's this guy and I'm not going to remember that maybe it was called the art of persuasion or the art of rhetoric I can't remember but he made these videos I thought was really good like analyzing the way different people speak and why it's effective and why it's not because like if it's hard to rewind now but if you go back to 16, like Donald Trump was such a, like a preconception breaker on rhetoric.

You know what I mean? Like half of us at the beginning were like, well, this doesn't make sense, you know, like the way he talks, it's not going to work, but it did work. And you had to recognize it at some point. Like this, because it was different than every politician, truthfully, it's different than every corporate CEO, it's different than everybody who's ever really arrived at high levels of leadership and you start if you're a curious person at all you circle on how why and i started watching these videos and that was one of the first things it was talked about first of all

the the way he speaks um see i don't want to make it seem derogatory but is the word like elementary he doesn't speak he doesn't use big words he doesn't use complicated sentence structure He doesn't use, you know, reaches and grabs to try to sound educated. It's a sign of intelligence. I'm going to. What is? Using simple phrases and descriptions to describe complex issues and things is a sign that you're smart and boil it down and actually know what you're talking about. And using big words as a sign of BS.

Yeah? You think so? Sometimes. Is using big words a sign of BS? I think so. sometimes people try to make themselves sound smarter so they learn big words and try to win arguments that way.

You think I do that too much? No, not at all. You guys have joked before that sometimes I use words, you're like what is that word? Well, there's that one phrase you love, and it turns out Stephen A also uses it all the time, so I don't know who used it first, but in my estimation.

Yeah. But I've noticed it's a lot of it. It sounds like a legal term. Well, it's not conversational. Like, if you were at a barbecue and somebody goes, in my estimation, you'd be like, that's what this dude, right? What's what this dude? So what am I doing there?

Thanks, Bob. Why is that a crutch that I'm leaning back on? When I was at CNN for five years, Van Jones said to me, he's no Van Jones, right? I had a decent relationship with Van Jones, you know, he's a different guy. Like, he's super liberal, obviously. But I do remember conversations off air with Van where it's like there's a real open mind there and a curiosity in a way to understanding things. Like I've seen clips of Van Jones recently saying pushing back on this whole idea that still they're holding on to that Trump is stupid. He's like, you guys.

Yeah. First of all, he's smarter than all of us. Every one of us. I don't know who he was talking to is a panel of other libs. But like going look around like the proof is in the pudding. He's smarter than all of us. my point is van jones is like maybe he's like stephen a in that way like sometimes you're like this guy's insane and doesn't get it and other times you're like oh this guy's curious and actually

gets it but he said to me that his dad had had said your job or like a good person doing this or smart person doing this is not to make the simple complicated but to make the complicated simple right and and that's what trump is doing when he talks that way and those art of rhetoric or art of persuasion videos I used to watch when we were first facing the revelation of Donald Trump was simple and repetitive say it over and over and over again simple and repetitive and that's how it breaks through I honestly seen Pete doing that I've seen Pete since he's become the Secretary of Defense repeat because I see a lot of what Pete has to say but most people don't most

people don't see 10 clips of someone you know what I mean they see one of 10 of 10 and so there's a point in the repetition so maybe there's some point to me saying Will Kane show this is where this all started right like if you've seen me say it 10 times I won you like you're with it thank you

you've got to drill it into their heads well I'm just imagining you finishing the show at 5 p.m. and like watching like an hour worth of Pete's clips on your phone smiling well we carried Pete live yesterday no I mean it was like he's carried him from the border He sounded very presential.

It was all like old school. Off the border wall with Tom and Pete. Yeah. New segment. You know, the presidential thing is interesting. I've started to see, you know, more rumblings about that potentiality. He's talking like it. Who knows where it goes.

The Wall Street Journal has a real interesting article up this morning about the left and how much in the wilderness the left is because they just elected a new leader of the DNC, right? By the way, it came down to two white dudes, two middle-aged white dudes. So way to go, Dems. You really. doing a good job with your self-fulfilling prophecies um but the article is about where do they go not only do they not have a a person a leader they don't really have a coherent message like they don't have who are we what do we stand for meanwhile on the right like you could say

jd vance pete hegseth i mean there's more i'm sure that you know marco rubio has bigger aspirations would be my guess like do you think niki haley again she'll try no she'll try i've i know a lot of republicans i liked her there's going to be 10% of republicans that are still antithetical to what trump is that'll vote for niki haley which will give her the funding to run and she'll do it so she could hear herself talk on a national stage she'll get 10% of delegates and then she'll go off and do a bad podcast no i don't think niki haley i think like rubio's interesting in that you know a senator being a united state senator is essentially a job for life right so one could argue what's the point in going secretary of state after after senator and of course the answer is power

it's it's more power but um it's also a platform clearly isn't that Hillary's path Hillary's path is Senator to Secretary of State to presidential run And I'm just saying that's what Rubio might have in mind And of course I don't think you're probably done with Ron DeSantis on a national stage I'm not I don't know about his prospects But all of those are pretty deep What's up two days?

I love talking in February of The president just got inaugurated and we're talking about who's next It's kind of like sports talk It is sports talk it's like oh yeah my team's going to be great in four years It's like talking about the, it's like the, 2028 draft. It's not just. Yeah, good point. Because it's also about like the lay of the land today.

And we're going to get into this today because I think it's fascinating how much in the wilderness the left is. And I don't think there's a full recognition of where the right is to either, by the way, because I do believe that no one's in the wilderness forever. No governance is permanent. No movement last into eternity. Usually the way politics works is the side in power oversteps and therefore the pendulum swings back the other way. the difference is most of the time that is painted as a pendulum swinging between two bipolar things republican democrat left right and i truly do believe this is a unique moment that doesn't represent that left right dynamic it doesn't today right now and we're going to get into this just a moment r fk is advancing to a vote on the senate floor for confirmation Tulsi gabbard will find out today on her confirmation hearings in in her committee these are two democrats i mean for r fk what is that like a year ago a year ago we was running for president as a democrat so don't like this i actually think the entire

political landscape is being reshuffled the only question only question is how does it last beyond donald trump okay that's just sort of a um that's a sort of spitballing here off the top with will boat we've got uh missouri attorney general andrew bailey joining us today um and then you want to stick around i believe tin foil is it going to be tomorrow we have former congressman ron paul here for a long extended interview on the will cane show so that'll be tomorrow's episode we got a lot in the in the works right now we got a big episode today i already seen the um rundown for 4 p.m on the fox news channel so let's not waste any more time let's get into it with story number one.

Story number one today, we are going with quick takes. We're going to hit a lot of things before we get into some deeper dives into China and COVID-19 with Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. And as we always do, in order to hit our quick takes, we're going to turn it over to the most electric man outside of Bobby Marks on ESPN, the second most electric man in broadcasting. Don tinfoil pat. Take it away. That's right, Will. RFK Jr., out of the committee.

He is going to the full Senate vote. He won. The vote was by party lines, 14 to 13, by the Senate Finance Committee, and he picked up Senator Cassidy. Dan, played the clip. Mr. Grassley. Aye. Mr. Grassley, aye. Mr. Cornyn.

Aye. Mr. Thune. Aye. Mr. Thune. Aye. Mr. Scott. Aye. Mr. Scott.

Aye. Mr. Cassidy. Aye. Mr. Langford. Aye. Mr. Danford. Aye. Mr. Young?

Aye. Mr. Brasso. Aye. Mr. Johnson. Aye. Mr. Tills. Aye. Mr.

Mr. Blackburn. Aye. Mr. Marshall. Aye. Mr. Wyden? No. Mr. Cantwell? No.

Mr. Bennett? No. Mr. Warner? No. Mr. Whitehouse? No. Ms. Henson? No. Ms. Kortez.

Ms. Cortez, Mastow, no, Ms. Warren. No. Mr. Sanders. No. Mr. Sanders, no. Ms. Smith, no. Mr. Lujan. No.

Mr. Loonan, no. Mr. Warnock, no. Mr. Walsh. No. Mr. Welch, no. Mr. Welch, no. Mr. Chairman, no. Mr. Chairman, the final tell he is, 14 eyes, 13 A's. Are you surprised, Will? Are you surprised on his phone? Yeah. So, lots to read into there.

Well, yeah, let's read into a couple really quickly. So I'll tell you who I think this is a moment of exposure for Bernie Sanders, first of all. I think it really puts Bernie Sanders in a position of honestly like exposing himself as a fraud. I really do. Like Bernie Sanders has been this populist revolutionary, or at least that's what he's painted himself as and much of his audience has believed him to be. this isn't Bernie Sanders being asked to affirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense this is Bernie Sanders having a chance

to put RFK as head of HHS and I Bernie wants to be a man of the people Bernie wants to be skeptical of big corporations I would presume big pharma you know and here is Bernie he's just all he is

I used to joke this with Hegseth you know we want to do this story we want to do that story we're pushing back on the man i was like dude all we are we're the sheep's that bleat we're still sheep being led to the slaughter we just bleat on our way to the slaughter you know uh i think i've been proven wrong about that but that's what bernie is bernny's one of the team he can he can bleat all he wants about he believes in this principle or that principle he's just a team guy that's all he is and he's and and he's not a particularly good team guy in that respect and he's been

burned by the team but in the end he's just a democrat nothing more nothing less the other one is sheldon white house on the left because have you guys read the stories like didn't white house what was he roommates with rfk or like his his relative was roommates with rfk like this whole grandstanding that white house had done during the committee hearings like pretending like he didn't know r fk and all these revelations that he thinks are controversial about rfk he's been buddies with him his whole life Like, they have been together for like 30 years ideologically on every issue. And here's White House voting against him. So I know you're looking that up two days.

Yeah, it says RFK shamed by law school pal at Senate hearing. Yeah, law school pal, Sheldon White House. Okay, so that's the left, the Democratic. Here's what's interesting about the votes you heard on the right. So here's the ones that you wondered about. Okay, we'll start with Tillis and Todd Young. Tom Tillis of North Carolina, Todd Young of Indiana. Young was called out by Elon Musk, if y'all remember that,

because he asked tough questions of RFK. And then Elon Musk goes to X and says, like, I think he called him, I don't know if he called him Deep State or Establishment or whatever he called him. Pence. Lacky. Yeah. And so then apparently they hopped on the phone together and Elon got back on X and apologized. Don't see that often from Elon, right?

he apologized and said I was wrong about Young. We're presuming that that conversation was something like, hey, man, I just asked tough questions, but it's not like, I'm against this. Todd Young looked really defeated. So it's kind of you, right? He's like, hope. What's huge, tinfoil?

No, I said it's kind of like you, right? People go, why is he talking about Ronda Santis's boots? It's like, you know, we're asking the tough questions. Like, I do think we're a little bit too far into the age. If you're not waving pom-poms, you're against somebody. Yeah, it's true. So true. So the other one is Tom Tillis, because I think he's been a big recipient of big pharma money.

But there he is on the team for RFK. And then, who was the other ones I wanted to point out among Republicans? The ones that were important and maybe a little bit of surprise. There's one more, but the biggest one I wanted to get to was Bill Cassie. Bill Cassidy. Oh, I know it was James Langford, who was right after Cassidy. James Langford of Oklahoma, because he's very, very pro-life. And there's questions, obviously, about RFK and his history when it comes to life.

And you could argue what's that going to impact him at HHS, you know, he's clearly stated his goals and what he wants to do. And maybe that's why in the end he got the yes or the I from James Langford. But Cassidy was the key. Cassidy was the doctor. Cali Means came on to the Will Cain show and said, this is the guy you have to have. If you don't get him, you don't get RFK.

RFK reportedly spent the weekend talking to Cassidy on a whole host of issues, and there you have it. Now, that doesn't mean necessarily that he's going to fly through the Senate. Hegset got the vote, right? And then it came down to 50-50. But I think with the vote of the committee and with Cassidy in particular, that carries a lot of weight going into the Senate confirmation for RFK. So looking good.

I don't know what betting guards are right now. Look them up real quick. And then we're waiting on Tulsi, right? Tinfoil, the vote on Tulsi hasn't taken place yet? Not as far as I can see. Right. Not at the time of we're live here. Yeah.

What are you looking at? Polymarket? Yeah. So we're trying to get to the one where it has all of the cabinet. See. That's just nominates. You find it. We'll keep going.

I'll raise my hand when I got it All right I'm gonna bet I'm gonna do over unders Over under's Over under on RFK now coming out of committee hearing Is going to be 90%

That's the over under I bet Tulsi Tulsi hold on No committee hearing yet for Tulsi I'm going to put the over under at I'm going to put her at 60 right now I think it's gone up

It wasn't the 50s I'm going to put her at 60 you got it James I can do this faster than all you guys while I'm talking effort I don't understand what's going on it's quick it's quick takes I have like a four years old zone

go ahead Patrick take it away back ready for the next one this is a good one will is governor New Jersey governor Phil Murphy hiding an illegal immigrant in his house

he claims there's a clip of him and it implies that he is and here's a clip play it Dan talking about I don't want to get into too much detail, but there's someone in our broader universe whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to. And we said, you know what, let's have her live at our house above our garage. And good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her.

Now, new update here, Will. his office claims that he they denied the claims and said that he never technically said that the person was illegal just that the immigration status was you know they weren't where they wanted to get to and good and good luck trying to get to the fed the feds coming to get to get to her and here's what tom homin had to say about that well i think the government's pretty foolish same way said because i got noted it won't let it go we'll look into it and if he's annoyingly Normally, harboring, concealing, and illegal a violation of Title VIII, United States Code 1324, I would seek prosecution, or the secondary would seek prosecution. So it looks like he might be playing with fire. I hope we'll go to find out. What do you think, Paul? Okay, first of all, James, do you have the polymarkets up yet?

Yeah, I do. Okay, but look, in the amount of time it took to play those two clips, I have it up, and I have screen shared it to my, My in-studio monitors, like, are you guys have two hamsters on a wheel running your internet back there? Yeah, that's exactly the issue. You didn't know where to go? The screen on my phone didn't respond to my fingers because it's old, so I had to switch over the laptop and I found it in 10 seconds. Well, you're just getting too good at it. I'm just getting too good at it.

I'm just-you're just getting too good at it. I was intentionally going slow so I can try and see if they would get me a new phone. Right. Here we are, guys, just to set the over-unders. I was wrong. Yeah. Tulsi on Polly Market is 99% now. 99% ahead of the hearing. What happened?

RFK is at 98%. That's wild. Tulsi did pick up a new backer, I believe, the last hour or two. Susan Collins? Susan Collins? Yeah. Yeah, I saw that yesterday. 99% for Tulsi.

That's a huge. swing she was in the 50s a day or two good yeah they have pete heck set okay okay um all right governor phil murphy here's the deal he's just if there's one thing to learn i know it's quick takes patrick i heard you a minute ago if there's one thing to learn about the world right now everybody's a house of cards don't trump is like what is he the the big bad wolf right now blowing down houses made of straw I mean Mexico we don't want the 25% tariffs

what can we do 10,000 troops at the border as a start and that'll get you a 30 day pause Canada gonna do some things on their border get you a 30 day pause everybody talks tough and then they fold

you know Venezuela released at American hostages just over the weekend the Panama Canal we'll see where that's headed looks like it's headed for America's way Greenland, you know, I think I just read this morning, we're headed for an entree now between Greenland and America, who knows what that leads to.

Trump is talking big about 51st state of Canada, and we should look up what the betting markets are on that. Like, why would you bet against it at this point? Like, so here's Phil Murphy who wants to run out there like Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago and several others, and he wants to act tough. and he says, I've got an illegal immigrant in my attic. Come get them. And here's Homan.

Okay. Next thing you know, it's like, well, actually, actually, they're not an illegal immigrant. Actually, they just don't have their, I don't even know what he's saying now. They're legal, but they don't have their permanent citizenship yet. I don't, I don't know. They're green card holders, but they're not citizens. Now he's, he's, what do you call it? He's like, uh, backtracking.

What do you, crab walking backwards, right? So, and by the way. way i hope homin still does does go and investigate because you can't you got a double well yeah person might be a dreamer but you don't know Obama 10 years ago was opposed to illegal immigration you know like really high deportations under Obama and yet now the modern democratic party is open defiance of the law and open defiance of law enforcement can you imagine I am breaking the law says a governor of a state come get me i mean okay we'll come get you right there and we should you shouldn't have that kind

of treasonous behavior quite honestly you can't be breaking the law like that and you can't be bragging about it and you can't be in defiance are you ready to secede in new jersey i'm gonna bet you the people of new jersey aren't new jersey is closer to going red yeah i was gonna say new jersey is close to going red. 50,000 votes margin was for Harris in the election. And just yesterday, Scott Pressler came out with something, said that the Democrats lost 2,500 people on the registration and the Republicans gained 10,000. So that's 40,000 people. Right. I found the polymarket for Canada. What is it? It's, so the caveat is, will Canada join the U.S. as the 51st state before July? And it's hovering between 2 and 4% the last month. That's a really tight timeline they put us on by July, 51st state. Give us four years, maybe it's like 30, 40 cents. And not, I don't think anybody says they have to be a state. What about just like a territory, like Puerto Rico?

That'd be odd. No votes. 50,000 people in Canada. That's a tiny state. I don't know if we're ready for a 50,000 person with two senators. I don't think anybody's thinking state. Um, oh, sorry, this was Canada. We've got to get to figure out how.

Canada's 51st state, not Greenland. Oh, that's 2 to 4% Canada. No, we got to carve that thing up anyway. That's got to become three or four states. I'm not into this one state thing in Canada. That's two Democratic senators for sure. That's one big state. Okay, take it away, tinfoil.

All right, Will, we got another great story. This is great stories all around. Congresswoman Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine Crockett. He's having a melt... I don't know. I probably said it wrong. Did I say it wrong? Yes.

Daggum it. Jazz... Jasmine Crockett is having a meltdown over the new administration. Here's the first clip of what she had to say on CNN. This is very simple.

We right now have a white supremacist that is sitting in the White House. He is backed up by other white supremacists. And if you really want to know who the criminals are in this country, you can Google it. You don't have to trust me. But the people that commit 80%

of the most violent, crimes in this country are white supremacists yet for whatever reason they sit and they serve at the pleasure of the president they are the ones that were there on january 6th tearing our democracy down physically and now we have them tearing us down right here from within hold on so the banner at the bottom of that cnn story says trump appointee colon and then it's a quote competent white men must be in charge, right? I have not heard of this story. Can one of you look it up really quickly? What is that quote? Who is the Trump appointee? So they have an entire segment, and we're going to get to the actual segment a second, but they have an entire segment dedicated to this one quote, right? I want to know

where that quote came from. I want to know what that's about. It was from a speechwriter who got appointed to a mid-level state department role as the under-secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs, and he was fired from CNN for... CNN? Yeah, he used to work at CNN. He wrote an article or something that kind of was kind of... And now he's working at those mid-level jobs you just described or whatever? Yeah, he just got appointed to it.

And he said that, and he's, this, and so there's a name, so it's not anonymous. What's the name? And, and he said this when and where about competent white men. Darren Beattie, who was fired in 2018. Oh, it's Darren Beattie? He spoke at a, okay, so this is ridiculous. He was speaking at a Turning Point USA conference, and here's how the article describes it. A conference attended by white nationalists.

Hmm. Right. Okay, that's their characterization. Right. God. Darren Beattie does revolver news. He's not working the administration right now. He did before.

No, he's appointed. He just got appointed. Oh, he did? Really? Yep. All right, let's get, I don't know. I got to read in on this quote and all that. There's another clip.

Jasmine Crockett. Sorry? There's another great clip. Okay, well, hold on. So they're running with... Okay, we're doing 2016 again, as my observation at this point. We're doing white supremacy. Triple down.

Everybody's a Nazi. What else we got? One more clip. Play it. I am tired of the white tears. Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned. When I walk into Congress every single day, you know why I don't feel away and why you can't make me doubt who I am is because I know that I had to work 10 times as hard as they did

just to get into the seat. When you look and you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Green or me to Lauren Bobert, there is no comparison. And that is the life that we have always lived. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder. This is why they don't want us to have education. All right. So much there.

A lot. I am ready to put her up against Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert in any debate with a neutral judge. any debate on any subject with a neutral judge she is like puffing out her chest and her own resume is absurd like uh this is like aOC saying that Elon Musk is one of the dumbest billionaires she's ever come across

that's what she said right anytime any place like let's get it on the game field let's do it um second the cliche about had to work 10 times of hard to get to your seat what is the evidence of that what evidence is there

about the effort you had to put in versus someone else had to put in to get where they are. I don't, that is a thing that is, I just hear that cliche over and over and over again with no evidence. The only evidence they offer

is that what they had to overcome is being black. That's what she's suggesting and when most people run that out, that's what they say. Finally, the thing that really jumps out to me is just the open, blatant racism. I don't care about,

something about white tears and um mediocre white men and here's why i want to point that out because she's not the only one that does these cliches either those are everywhere right those cliche that those those statements are everywhere just play the game replace white with any other color and any other race and ask yourself could you be on national tv saying those things could you be on tv lumping an entire group together of mediocre blank guys right put whatever you want in there right whatever you want and you know the answer if you said i don't care about black tears whatever that statement by itself right there's a radio station in dallas that every time they say something like that they make a funny voice so that you get clipped you know it never sounds like

you're actually if you get cut out of context it never makes it sound like you actually were saying it so there's a little freight you know uh i should have done it in a funny voice but um i mean the point is i would never say that and you can't say that and you shouldn't be able to say that and you shouldn't be able to say it in reverse about mediocre white men or white tears it's open racism that's been embraced by far too many on the left and it's i think it's over also just going to say this really quickly we're going to get into this you live in 2016 your time is past you're a one-hit wonder

whose song is looked back on like the macarena and the macarena probably has more of a lifespan than what you stood for that it's over for you that's what I'm going to talk about because I did a sports podcast yesterday and the sports world's not real happy to see me back but at least a

segment of it it would seem and I just got to tell you something this ain't your cafeteria you know this isn't your school sports the mainstream of American culture it's time for you go back to the corner dork

because you're not in charge take your tray and head out to the courtyard you're not bullying anybody around here anymore acting like you're the ones that are cool and control it America's healing getting back baby

and you are the racist or you one of the beta boy Unix who never should have been listened to in the first place. Keep going. Keep going. We mean watch it.

I'm just getting warmed up. All right. Not so fast, Will. Not so fast. What? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is doubled down on DEI. Play it, Dan.

Well, I think I've said it before, Jared. But listen, we got into diversity efforts. because we felt it was the right thing for the national football league and we're going to continue to those efforts because we've not only convinced ourselves I think we've proven ourselves that it does make the NFL better so we're not in this because it's a trend to get in it or a trend to get out of it our efforts are fundamental in trying to attract the best possible talent into the national football league both on and off the field as I said previously Oh, then you should have gotten rid of DEI, Raj.

You're not into getting the best possible talent. You're getting to getting the best possible talent of certain races at certain times for certain positions. Of course, not on the field. Boy. So the thing on Roger Goodell is, first of all, that statement was completely substancesless. We did it because we believe it's the right thing. Why is it the right thing? Obvious follow-up, you know.

And not only do we believe it, we've been validated because we've proven. It's the right thing. How have you proven it, Raj? What have you done? What's been the big success of DEI? I'd love to see that. What, how about, can we do this? What's the success of DEI other than some proportional representation of people in certain

positions that you wanted to achieve? In other words, quotas. What has DEI done to make your business? business better. I'm curious about that. President Trump simplified it really well. This big old issue that we've been talking about here he said we should probably get it on the soundboard.

Everything woke turns to bleep. Yeah. That's it. That's the entire issue. What? What revenue stream? What on field product? What audience viewership? What anything has been improved

by DEI? True business metric. Not some self-fulfilling quota requirement. Not that, but an actual thing that an owner of a business would be like, we're better because we did that. See, the thing about Goodell is he isn't a true believer, evidenced by the lack of substance given there. And on the trend front, Goodell is terrified. That's all there is to it. He's terrified. He's terrified of mutiny. He's terrified of public blacklash and he still believes that um this is the safe spot for him to sit in that this is the safe spot so where is the bomb shelter he's going to be closest to it there

in the NFL okay let's get into whether or not you can sue china for COVID-19 it's already being done in Missouri um let's get into that with the attorney general of Missouri Andrew Bailey, coming up on the Will Cain Show. Don't eat breakfast until you learn about caloric bypass. Your breakfast is setting you up the entire day to either gain weight or lose it. The term breakfast literally means to break your fast that you started the night before. After four hours, about four hours, after you eat dinner, your body switches from the nutrients we get from food to the stored glycogen that you have, we all have in our bodies. Once glycogen stores are depleted, this takes about eight to two.

12 hours of fasting. Then the body shifts to burning fat for energy. Fatty acids are released from fat stores where they are converted into ketone bodies through a process called ketogenesis. Then when you eat breakfast in the morning, the body starts the cycle again. This is where the caloric bypass comes into play. Dr. Gundry, a heart surgeon in California, learned that if you break your nightly fast with something called MCTs or medium chain triglycerides, You can actually keep burning fat throughout the day and use it for energy. But there are specific types of foods that contain these MCTs. And using this for breakfast as a breakthrough, he was able to lose 70 pounds just through diet.

He did this while he's in his 60s. You can find out all about it in his exact method by going to the healthy fat.com slash will. That's the healthy fat.com slash W ILL.

Joining us now is the Attorney General of the State of Missouri, Andrew Bay. Bailey. Nice to see you, Mr. Attorney General. Hey, thanks for having me on. You bet. Let's talk about this lawsuit you've got going.

So you were just affirmed in the Eighth Circuit. I hope you'll forgive me for a minute, Mr. Attorney General. By the way, that's a mouthful. I don't want to call you Andrew. That doesn't give you the proper due respect. Mr. Attorney General is so much. There's too many words. You know, at the Eighth Circuit, I'm curious.

And please forgive me for not reading in. I'm curious what your issue was. Was it one of, because there's two things that are fascinating to me. Standing. Do you have standing to sue a foreign government over something that clearly had material injury to the citizens of Missouri? I don't know if that's what was at issue. But the second is also remedy, which the court I don't think would kick you out on remedy, but how do you enforce, I think you're suing for $25 billion?

Is that right? Yeah, $5 billion with the number is? yeah 25 billion how do you enforce remedy against a foreign power well they're great questions luckily the people's elected representatives in congress thought about them and codified a method by which a state could redress grievances and seek damages against a foreign entity it's called the foreign sovereign immunities act it was passed into law signed into a statute by president at the time gerald ford in 1976 and again this is not some track pot legal theory. The Congress passed a law to specifically provide a judicial process to do exactly what we're doing in this case. And that was what was affirmed at the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The evidence that we have shows that China unleashed the COVID pandemic upon the world and then hoarded the PPE that the people of state of Missouri needed and the state government needed to respond to the pandemic that China created. And we've been damaged to the tune of $25 billion. This is a

groundbreaking. I believe it will be a precedential case. China was served and provided with due process. They'd been afforded an opportunity to defend themselves and put on evidence or dispute and refute the evidence that we've put on. They've declined to do so. That's how little they think of these United States, that although they're willing to do business and own assets in the United States of America, they can't be bothered to comply with federal statutes that provide a method by which we can bring suit against them. And so we anticipate receiving that $25 billion judgment from the court within the next couple of weeks, and we'll start identifying assets to seize, to be sold, to execute that judgment.

Okay, I have so many little questions. How do you serve China? You said they were served, like, how do you do that? How does the state of Missouri serve China? Yeah, it's not easy. But luckily, there, again, there's a procedure set forth in the Foreign Sovereignor Immunities Act that describes proper service and how to effectuate that service. And look, China's got embassies and ambassadors.

consular offices in the United States of America that are appropriate, you know, representatives of the Chinese communist government. Right. Okay. Second, they've not participated at all at any level. No, no replies, nothing. No filings, nothing. Didn't show up to court when they were served and the case was initially filed.

Did not show up when the, initially the trial court dismissed the case. And we had to appeal that decision. As you pointed out to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, didn't show up to argument at the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals didn't file any briefs. And then we got remanded once the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the trial court's dismissal and reinstated the case. We were remanded back to the trial court in the Eastern District of Missouri. And a trial date was scheduled. And the conferences were scheduled with the court to discuss what the trial was going to look like. And China was, again, afforded ample opportunity to participate in the proceedings

and defend themselves. I think their unwillingness to participate really speaks to the consciousness of guilt and culpability. And I think that has been emphasized recently by President Trump's declassification of the CIA memo, which explains exactly what we all knew all along, is that COVID was created in a lab. And the lab leak is what caused China to inflict that pandemic on the rest of the world. And Missourians are still demanding justice. And that's what we intend to provide through this lawsuit. Where are you right now? You're back at the trial court level. Or have you already secured a judgment at the trial court level? We are at the trial court level. we just had trial last week. We put on the evidence and have submitted a proposed judgment.

The trial court asked for additional briefing on one minor point regarding the procedural posture of the parties. We're going to provide that supplemental briefing, hopefully whether the next week or two. And then we anticipate that the court will sign our judgment that we answered the court's questions. We were able to provide information. And again, put on evidence that China inflicted this pandemic on the rest of the world and then hoarded the PPE we needed to respond to it. And again, I think this is a blueprint for other. states. We're engaged in a potential trade war with China right now as President Trump comes back into office and reasserts American interests across the globe. And China is not taking this issue seriously as evidenced by their willingness to participate. Have you ever in your career

had any trial where the other party just simply did not show? I'm sure you've had some type of criminal defendant who ghosted the trial, but there was something. I mean, how do you even put on a case? You know, I guess you, and by the way, how long did it take you to put on your case? Yeah, I mean, it was a solid day of evidence. But again, we had laid a lot of groundwork because a lot of what we were talking about and the evidence we were pointing to had already been adduced through pleadings that we had filed previously or through the appellate process. But, yeah, I mean, look, it is rare that the other party just refuses to even participate in the process. And China has to know that they are subject to the laws of the United States of America. They're doing business in the United States of America and owning assets.

in the United States of America. So it's really disrespectful of our legal system for them to just ignore this altogether. And that's why we're not going to be shy about executing the judgment, identifying Chinese owned assets in the state of Missouri or elsewhere. And then working with any willing participant outside the state of Missouri to help us execute that judgment, seize those assets, sell them, and recoup that $25 billion that the Chinese communist government owes to the people of state of Missouri for the injustices of COVID-19. I want to get back to the judgment in a second because that's another source of

curiosity for me. So in your case, I'm just curious, is the allegation one of negligence? Is it a negligence-based case in developing the COVID-19 virus and letting it spill onto the world? Or is it a fraud-based case? Like, you did this. I mean, fraud, I presume, carries some greater level of intentionality, right? So I'm curious the argument being made. Yeah. And I think both theories are applicable and relevant to the analysis. At the end of the day, I believe their culpability goes beyond the level of negligence, but negligence is one of the standards that can be used under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act to establish damages. And certainly that's a theory that we've put forth at court. Now, again, it is negligent in the sense that they negligently inflicted COVID-19 upon the world and then intentionally hoarded the PPE. So that's where your intentionality comes in. But I I think, again, if you look at the declassification of that CIA memo that points to the lab leak theory, and then the lies, the lies that China has told for the five years after that, at the end of the day, those lies begin to look more like fraud. And you get to that higher level of culpability. So let's go to the judgment now, $25 billion.

You've already began to lay out for me how you collect on that. So once the judgment is secured, it's a process of seizing assets. identifying and seizing assets. So just, I know you probably can't and don't want to lay out what assets in particular you'd seize, but can you give me in the audience listening some sense of expectation like as a profile? Like what could you seize as an asset to potentially satisfy the judgment? Well, anything we can prove that the Chinese communist government owns. So whether it be real property, whether it be vehicles, whether it be, you know, buildings in St. Louis or elsewhere around the country.

We know they have Chinese communist cultural centers that are probably fronts for spying on their own citizens who are studying here in the United States, America. Things like that start to look like prime targets for asset seizure that we can then convert towards payment of that. Real quick. Is that almost a whole new level of litigation for you in that I don't know how much is directly owned by the CCP? You could probably identify a ton of assets that are owned by Chinese corporations. And then you have to make the argument about how much of the Chinese corporation is, controlled by the CCP, I would assume. And then therefore, can you seize those assets? I think if you're limited to just clearly owned assets by the CCP, you'd have trouble getting to satisfy your judgment. Yeah, no, I think you're right. But again, it's going to require them to show up the court

and object. And so far, they've been unwilling to do that. So we'll see how it goes. At the end of the day, you know, I think there's another theory here, which is that when Xi Jinping sits on the board of directors of a Chinese company, it looks like it's a private company. But he has that. that golden vote. The company is going to do exactly what the communist dictator in China wants that company to do. And so does that look more like a state-run entity than a more traditional corporate structure that we would understand in a Democratic Republic like the United States of America under a capitalist system? And so these are all issues that potentially will be litigated. But again, it's going to require them to show up and defend themselves. And they've proven

unwilling to do that thus far. Where'd you get the number 25 billion? Yeah, that's based on the damage estimate on the evidence that we were able to put together based on the harms inflicted upon the state in our response to COVID when we couldn't access the PPE. And isn't it a traditional, you know, communist theme that they create a harm, create a need for a product, and then monopolize the supply of that product and in order to not meet the demand. I mean, it's a market manipulation that very well fits within the communist theory. Has this lawsuit, Mr. Attorney General, has this lawsuit, do you think, has it allowed you any greater understanding of what really happened with COVID?

Why I ask you it that way is you, because they're not participating, don't have special knowledge from the rest of us in terms of discovery. You haven't been able to, you know, in a normal lawsuit, you sue someone, you get to go through the discovery process of requesting documents to kind of help prove your case after you've already filed your suit, right? So if that were the case here, you'd be getting stuff out of the Wuhan lab. You'd be getting stuff out of everywhere based upon the normal legal process here in the United States. They don't participate.

They're in China. You're not getting that. But I don't know. Certainly under Joe Biden, you wouldn't get any, I don't think you probably got much help when it comes to the intelligence agencies or anything like that. But has anything in your process been able, you think, to give you special insight to what actually happened with COVID? Well, I think it's connecting the dots. And again, these are inferences that reasonable people have drawn all along that I think the legacy media largely ignored and that the Biden administration certainly sought to suppress and that the Chinese government actively sought to suppress, which is that China caused the COVID-19 pandemic. That pandemic then harmed Americans and harmed Missourians and did health-wise and economic damage to the people of state of Missouri. And it was an injustice inflicted upon us by a foreign entity. and that they then hoarded the PPE we needed to respond to that pandemic. So while China will issue press releases or from the pulpit preach about how helpful

they were in responding to the pandemic, the evidence points to the opposite. And again, we all knew that, but connecting those dots and then getting the imprimatur of a judicial process and a judgment that explicitly seals the deal on connects those dots for the people of the state of Missouri once and for all to say, China did this. harmed you. They owe you money. There's a system in place to not only redress that grievance, but collect that money. Now we have that imprimatur of law on that judgment or will have the imprimatur of law on that judgment. I think it's significant. Is that how you say it? I've always said imprimatur. Is it imprimatur? I'm mispronounced it. I apologize. I don't know. No,

I'm not making fun of you. I'm literally questioning. I don't know which is the right way to say. I have no idea. We have a running debate in my office of that very pronunciation, and I consistently get it wrong. So I will concede Sir Casimir Provenceration. In Missouri, do you say voir dire or vo-dier? Yeah, yeah. I say jury selection to avoid the problem, but

there are two jurisdictions in Missouri. Those that say voir dire and those that say voir dire and most of them say voir dire. Okay. All right, fun conversation, really fascinating. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. Thanks for jumping on the Wilcane show. Thanks, sir. Appreciate you.

You bet. That's jury selection. Voidier, which is a French word. But in the South, they say Vordire. And in Texas, a lot of times you say Vodier. But it's a... That's the way it happens in the South. Okay, that was a fascinating conversation. Let me take a quick break.
