WEBVTT - Confused & Conflicted: Disastrous Day For Mueller

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. It was a disastrous

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>day on Capitol Hill for the Democrats. Muller seemed like

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>someone just woke him up from a nap of about

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years. We'll work out the latest here, my friends,

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>on what this means for the collusion narrative, the obstruction delusion,

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and all the rest of it. Plus some other news

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>stories on the buck Sexton Show. Buck Sexton Remissions, decoding

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>mistake American Ready, you're a great American again. This is

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>the buck Sexton Show. Former CIA analysts. Remember, I can

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>speak to three hours without a phone call. Try doing

0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that sometime. Set. He had a very good day today,

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the Republican Party, our country. There was no defense of

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>what Robert Mueller was trying to defend. In all fairness,

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Sir Robert Mueller, whether his performance was a bad one

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>or a good one, I think everybody understands that. I

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>think everybody understands what's going on. There was no defense

0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>to this ridiculous hoax, this witch hunt that's been going

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>on for a long time, pretty much from the time

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I came down on the escalator with our first lady,

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's a disgrace what happened. But I think today

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.160
<v Speaker 1>proved a lot to everybody. In fact, some of my

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:46.839
<v Speaker 1>biggest opponents wrote things today that I wouldn't have believed

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>they would have written, and I appreciate that they did.

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>That this has been a very bad thing for our country,

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and despite everything we've been through, it's been an incredible

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>two and a half years for our country. Welcome to

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the buck Sex and show my friends, it's a good

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>day for America, A good day. I've been waiting for

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>this one, and I did not really expect it to

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>be quite as good as it was. I thought that

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>there would be at least more of a of a

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>competency on display on Capitol Hill when you had Bob

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Muller there, Saint Muller. Let's just do a quick review

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that you won't get from the rest of the media.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>They were singing Christmas carols about this guy. Remember that

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>producer Mike Christmas, we wish you a Muller Christmas. Big celebrities,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, famous Hollywood people. Sat Muller was going to

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>deliver America from the scourge of Trumpism. And also recall

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>that just like they did with James Comey, who we

0:02:53.960 --> 0:03:03.080
<v Speaker 1>were told was an unimpeachable beloved by his fellow FBI agents,

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>super government superhero. Turned out he's a sanctimonious jerk and

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a lanky, unself aware weirdo. Now we were told that

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Muller was the sharpest of prosecutors, the smartest, the best

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of the best, the most ethical, and then today it's

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>like they made mister Magoo appear on the witness stand.

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.920
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden, Mueller seemed to be the guy

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 1>at the end of a Scooby Doo episode. Who if

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't for you, kid, I would have gotten away

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>with it. Because he didn't know anything. He didn't know

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>what was going on. He said stuff that was jaw dropping,

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>jaw dropping. Doesn't know what fusion GPS is? What? Whoo? Who? Who? What? What? Mike?

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>You got something for me there? What was that you wanted? Laughing? Oh,

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Mikea's It is truly true. It is a mix of

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I was laughing was it was comical, and I was

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>laughing because it was pathetic. It was insane today's folks,

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>it was insane, It really was. I thought that they'd

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>be able to pull it together more than the Democrats

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and pull it together more than they did. Let what

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>is this single biggest takeaway, the number one thing that

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:28.159
<v Speaker 1>I want you to remember from today's entire fiasco on

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>For those of you who I watched it, and a

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of you I'm sure it didn't watch it. So

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>let me just tell you what the most important thing

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>for you to know is. This is what came out

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>of all of this. What we saw, beyond any doubt,

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 1>tells us that Muller was just a figurehead who was

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:53.159
<v Speaker 1>giving a degree of swamp gravitas to this sham of

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>an investigation, while his deputies, who were Democrat partisans, ran

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing day to day as the absurd witch

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.719
<v Speaker 1>hunt that it was. They called it the Muller Report

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>because it would have been too obvious if they called

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>it what it was, which is the Weissman and Company Report.

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>All those Democrats, all those left wing anti trumpers that

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Mueller hired. It wasn't that Mueller was the one calling

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the shots. Really they were the ones. They were the

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>ones who were involved in the day to day. Muller

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>was just there so that Democrats in the media could

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>bleat like sheep. And how Mueller is a Republican, and

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Muller has an impeccable record, and Mueller served as country

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>and so you can't criticize him. Muller was a cover story,

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I think. For giving him the benefit of the doubt,

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.159
<v Speaker 1>we have to say that Muller was really a fig leaf.

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 1>That's why he was and he was mine to do it.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>He was willing to do it because he does not

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>like this president. He's an establishment figure. He is, as

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it came out today, a friend of Komi's. So while

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I would like to feel some degree of sympathy for

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 1>mister McGoo muller, I can't. And I'm a nice guy.

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Anybody who works in this businessill tell you I'm actually

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>really not probably too nice, I know, and too humble.

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not too humble, but definitely too nice. But I

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>can't feel bad for mister McGoo muller because he had

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>no problem threatening, bankrupting, ruining, imprisoning people all along in

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>this whole sham of an investigation for the most minor

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of crimes, in what he had to know was a

0:06:53.600 --> 0:07:00.679
<v Speaker 1>politically motivated investigation, all based on a lie. He ruined

0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>people or allowed them to be ruined in his name,

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>which is just as bad. I heard one of the

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>congressmen I can't even remember which one say that. Well,

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>what we really need to know here is that Muller

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>took a that he was trying to be fair minded here,

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that he acted with restraint was what one of the

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Democrat members of Congress acted with restraint. This guy sent

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty dudes with long guns and tactical gear into Roger

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Stone's house at five o'clock in the morning to make

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>sure that he didn't get any ideas when he was

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>in his silk pajamas. I mean, let's not completely deny reality,

0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>and just remember that the Libs were in a total

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>frenzy over how they said Attorney General Barr, who compared

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>bars performance under scrutiny and on the press to Muller.

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask everybody this. You're accused of murder in

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>a small town in the South where there was a

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>guy driving away from the quickie mart, and you only

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>got one phone call, and it's going to be to

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>your cousin, a tough talking Italian American from Queens in

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>New York City. Do you want that cousin in this case,

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 1>perhaps named Vinnie, to be of the skills of say

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Bill Barr, or of Bob Mueller. I think all of

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you would want Barr defending you if your life was

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>on the line in a court. I really do. If

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you're facing the chair, I think you want to have

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Barr and not Mueller, because Muller seemed like he had

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>no idea what was going on today. Really, but they

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.720
<v Speaker 1>were in such a frenzy because they said that Barr

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't have enough time to read through the report before

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 1>he gave his prescott. How could he know? How could

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>he have known that? It turns out that Mueller definitely

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't write the report and maybe didn't even really read

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>it all that closely two years, tens of millions of dollars,

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and this is where we are now, this is this

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>is the the moments where we got backstage and we

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>saw who was behind the Wizard of Oz and it

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:21.679
<v Speaker 1>was not impressive, unimpressive at all, Just like with Comy.

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Remember Comy was gonna Comey, was gonna take down Trump,

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and then we found out that he was sanct a

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>sanctimonious clown. Avenati was gonna take down Trump. And now

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>he's facing two serious federal indictments, including one in which

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>he is alleged to have stolen millions of dollars from

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a paraplegic client. Avenati was talked about as a possible

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 1>presidential contender to defeat Trump. This is how desperate libs

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>are for some anti Trump figure to emerge. And then

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Muller was the greatest anti Trump figure of all. Certainly

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.800
<v Speaker 1>not the clown show they're presenting in these democratic debates.

0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>They got to do a lot better than this. But

0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.040
<v Speaker 1>now we see that Muller is not who we were

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>led to believe. Wow, maybe we shouldn't believe the mainstream

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 1>corporate leftist media anymore. I know, if you listen to

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>this show, you probably already know that what a what

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 1>a what a disaster it was today. I mean, Mueller,

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>for one, had had a whole bunch of moments. You

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>just said to yourself, how exactly, how exactly did this

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>guy get into this position? Play listen? I mean he

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.840
<v Speaker 1>was confused a lot. Play clip five. The president committed

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 1>the crime of instruction. You could not publicly state that

0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 1>in your report or here today. Can you repeat the question, sir?

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to repeat that for me. Individual is

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>in fact obligated to provide what's being demanded by the

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>regulation or statute? Meaning you don't have any wiggle room, right,

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I'd have to look more closely at the statute. I

0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.720
<v Speaker 1>just read it to you, and where are you reading

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>from on that I'm reading for my question? Then? Could

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.560
<v Speaker 1>you repeat it? Okay? Is that correct on the screen?

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.440
<v Speaker 1>And can you repeat the question? And now that I

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>have the language on the screen, is it correct? What

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 1>was the question? Fine? Can you read the last question?

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>What last question was? I got it accurate? Attorney number

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>two in the Inspector General's support and Struck both worked

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>on your team, didn't they? Can ask they both worked

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>on your team, didn't they? I know I heard Struck?

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Who else are you calling about Attorney number two identified

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Inspector General's report? Okay? And the question was

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I heard? I watched this. I mean I was hearing

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>all the questions. Is the audio better sitting in my

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>living room than it was in the committee room? I

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>don't think so. I suppose that's possible. That was actually

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>pre Berrara, a coomy protege. By the way, That tells

0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>you all you have to know about that guy. Now,

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a CNN analyst, former US attorney for eight or US

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Attorney for for the Southern District of New York. He

0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 1>went on CNN and said that the real problem here

0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>was that the questions were too fast and unclear. That's

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>how desperate that this is. CNN's like top top dog

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>on air analysts. You know, this is their their number

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.840
<v Speaker 1>one legal guy other than Jeffrey Tuban, who's just like,

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even know what to say about that guy.

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 1>You want to know what the wrong legal analysis is,

0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 1>watch Jeffrey Tuban on CNN. He is very consistent in

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.679
<v Speaker 1>how incorrect he is. But the whole thing was just

0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it was a mess, and I think there was some disbelief.

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't ready for the other side to look this

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>incompetent and oh yes, by the way, the Mullaprobe is

0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the other side. This was not This was not a

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 1>good faith effort. We're past that now, folks. We've been

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>passed it for a while. But after today, it's crazy

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 1>town to think that this was not just a get

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump effort. I haven't even gotten into some of the

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:58.920
<v Speaker 1>better moment. We got to get into some of the

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.559
<v Speaker 1>better moments with the with the Republican members of Congress.

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>They did bring out some interesting, interesting questions. But wow,

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 1>not a good day for mister mcgumuller. I gotta tell

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you did not look good for from at all. And

0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought he was a legal and FBI superhero here

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to rid us of the scourge of Trumpism. Turns out

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.680
<v Speaker 1>that they used him, or maybe he allowed himself to

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 1>be used. But he was just a front, a facade

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>meant to give some degree of establishment sanctioned credibility to

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>an effort to overturn the results of the twenty sixteen

0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 1>election using the apparatus of the government itself. It's a

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>good thing for Democrats. It's National Tequila Day because I

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.480
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna need it. We'll be right back, Director Mueller.

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Can you state with confidence that the Steel dossier was

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>not part of Russia's disinformation campaign with regard to the

0:13:55.000 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>steel That's beyond my purview. No, it is exactly your purview,

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Director Muller. And here's why. Only one of two things

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 1>is possible. Right. Either Steele made this whole thing up

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and there were never any Russians telling him of this

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.880
<v Speaker 1>vast criminal conspiracy that you didn't find, or Russians lied

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.680
<v Speaker 1>to Steel. Now, if Russians were lying to Steele to

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>undermine our confidence in our duly elected president. That would

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>seem to be precisely your purview because you stated in

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 1>your opening that the organizing principle was to fully and

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>thoroughly investigate Russia's interference. But you weren't interested in whether

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.880
<v Speaker 1>not Russians were interfering through Christopher Steele. And if Steel

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 1>was lying, then you should have charged him with lying,

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.360
<v Speaker 1>like you charged a variety unto other people. But you

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:39.760
<v Speaker 1>say nothing about this in your report, nothing about the

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Steel dossier, the basis of this whole thing. Folks, Without

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the Steel dossier, you don't have the fires are warrants,

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you don't have Carter Page. I mean, you could argue

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe based on the Papadopoulos FBI investigation, but that wasn't

0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna that wasn't gonna cut the mustard, as they say,

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.840
<v Speaker 1>does anyone actually cut mustard? That phrase makes no s

0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 1>does it. I just realized this is that A Yeah,

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>not in the sense that you're from Philly. You're probably

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a mustard guy. Yeah, I'm in New York. Yeah, and

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>one of those fancy guys. All right, back to business.

0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>So Gates, Gates is right. The dossier isn't covered in

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>this really at all. And you got to say to yourself, hmm,

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Muller can't talk about that now. Hopefully it'll come out

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>of the Inspector General report. Um. But this is an

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>important reminder. The Steel dossier may in fact itself have

0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 1>been Russian disinformation. And the Steel dossier and the process

0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 1>by which the Clinton campaign contracted, through a law firm

0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 1>on behalf of the DNC, to use a foreigner to

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>go get information from foreign subsources, in this case Russians,

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.640
<v Speaker 1>and to not just tell the press that information, but

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 1>to run that information back through our own intelligence community.

0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 1>That is the only foreign interference in the election that

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to have been

0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>on behalf of a willing and witting campaign. The Democrats

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 1>colluded with a foreigner to try to destroy Trump, and

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 1>not only did they go to the press with it,

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>they went to our own intelligence community and to deep

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 1>state elements therein and use them to do their dirty work.

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Representative Ratcliffe today he got in on that action. I

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, look at Ratcliffe. High five for him.

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, he was good. Yeah, I thoughts too. He

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:52.080
<v Speaker 1>stuck the landing it was pretty solid. Play play Cliff three.

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Which DJ policy or principle set forth a legal standard

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>that an investigated person is not exonerated if their innocence

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:04.719
<v Speaker 1>from criminal criminal conduct is not conclusively determined. Where does

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that language come from? Director? Where is the DOJ policy

0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 1>that says that? Can you let me make it easier there?

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Can you give me an example other than Donald Trump

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>where the Justice Department determined that an investigated person was

0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 1>not exonerated because their innocence was not conclusively determined. I cannot,

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.560
<v Speaker 1>but this is unique. Okay, well you can't. Time is short,

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I've got five minutes. Let's just leave it. You can't

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>find it because I'll tell you why it doesn't exist.

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Not exonerated is not a standard that we use. Not

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 1>only did they try and ambush Trump and create this

0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 1>whole hoax to go after him, but they're so shameless

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>in their anti Trump zeal. The Democrats are so desperate

0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to find some way to destroy this president that they

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 1>have come up with it an entirely new and only

0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 1>applicable to Trump. Mind you, standard of jurisprudence that only

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 1>applies in this situation, and that means that Trump could

0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>never could never escape the taint of this whole thing,

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>and that was always the point, that was always the purpose.

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.119
<v Speaker 1>Is it really surprising you have Democrats here in New

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.960
<v Speaker 1>York State who are who want to change the law

0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.399
<v Speaker 1>just so they can get Trump's tax returns. They'll do anything,

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.159
<v Speaker 1>they'll destroy the law as much as they need to

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.040
<v Speaker 1>in order to get after this president. And the fact

0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:35.240
<v Speaker 1>that Trump is still standing and still doing a great

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 1>job must drive them even more insane, if that is

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 1>possible for Libs at this point, which is an open question.

0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 1>So how bad a day was it for the Democrats?

0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:47.359
<v Speaker 1>The Russia collusion narrative, the anti Trump forces and all

0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:50.639
<v Speaker 1>the rest of them. How bad was it? Well, Democrats

0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>had to call a little impromptu oh my gosh, how

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 1>do we put out this fire press conference late in

0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 1>the day. It happened right before we went on air.

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 1>We have some of that for you. Year. Adam Schiff

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 1>aka Shifty Shift, he had things to say like this

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 1>play twenty two today. The director outlined in powerful words,

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:22.800
<v Speaker 1>how Russia intervened massively in our election systematically, in a

0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:27.960
<v Speaker 1>sweeping fashion. How during the course of that intervention they

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:31.680
<v Speaker 1>made multiple approaches to the Trump campaign, and far from

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>shunning that foreign involvement in our election, the Trump campaign

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:39.880
<v Speaker 1>welcomed it, made full use of it, put it into

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 1>its communications and messaging strategy, and then lied about it,

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:47.280
<v Speaker 1>light about it to cover it up, light about it

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to obstruct the investigation into that very attack on our democracy. Yeah,

0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 1>we've been hearing that for months there, shifty Schiff. None

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.439
<v Speaker 1>of that was new. But thanks for showing up and

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>giving us the usual talking points. Here are some key

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 1>things he leaves out. There were approaches made to the

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump campaign, none of which were acted on. Nothing there

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 1>was there was no collusion, There was no working together

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and his into their messaging strategy. Oh you mean like

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 1>reporting on what was dumped by wiki leaks on the

0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:23.800
<v Speaker 1>internet like the rest of the world did. I mean,

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but Schiff has the really the the the the warm

0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 1>human connection of a of the you know, with the

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 1>with the eyes of a mako shark and the ethics

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of a rattlesnake. I mean, that's really what you're dealing

0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:38.359
<v Speaker 1>with with Adam Schiff. So that should not be surprising

0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:45.080
<v Speaker 1>at all. Oh, Nancy Pelosi, he's a pad Why Uh?

0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:48.440
<v Speaker 1>She had a she had an interesting day to day

0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure thinking that it was going to be a

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 1>big victory lap and you know MSNBC. I mean the

0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:56.560
<v Speaker 1>way CNN, I really think that they're trying to set

0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>some kind of Guinness World record for how many legal

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 1>analysts they can put on TV. At the same time,

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>it looked like at it like they must have had

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.680
<v Speaker 1>about sixteen to them in a row. I don't know

0:21:07.240 --> 0:21:09.760
<v Speaker 1>what producer thinks that that's a good look and a

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:12.800
<v Speaker 1>cool idea, but CNN's ratings seemed to suggest that maybe

0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:16.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not the brilliant strategy they think it is. But

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 1>here's what Pelosi, that's your hat. Here's what she had

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.679
<v Speaker 1>to say. Twenty three. The President likes to have his

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 1>poster that said the Muller reports took this many days,

0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.440
<v Speaker 1>because this much money, this, that, and the other. But

0:21:28.560 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 1>we have a corresponding, competitive, contradictory chart. Muller investigation by

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the numbers, forty million dollars recovered for the US government.

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.160
<v Speaker 1>Remember he said how much it would cost less than that.

0:21:45.040 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Thirty seven people and entities charged with crimes, twenty five

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>ongoing criminal cases referred, seven convicted, including five top Trump

0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 1>campaign officials. And then he had no collision. Know this event,

0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:09.640
<v Speaker 1>ten instances of obstruction, Yes, no exoneration. I mean it's

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 1>it's like Nancy is desperate to spoon feed the ridiculous

0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.840
<v Speaker 1>talking points to the left, the left wing media, in

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:22.400
<v Speaker 1>advance of their primetime show. She's like, plays stay odd message.

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Here's what you have to say, Matt al Tapper, here's

0:22:27.800 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>what you have to do. The thirties my favorite of

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>all these. I mean, they're just they're just juicing the numbers.

0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 1>My favorite is thirty seven people and entities charged with crimes.

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Why isn't it just people? Oh, that's right, because what

0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.560
<v Speaker 1>is it? Fifteen of that thirty seven, I think almost

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>what is it? Almost half are Russians who are named

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>in an indictment, who will never set foot in the

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.120
<v Speaker 1>US court. But I'm sure they're terrified. I'm sure. Oh,

0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:58.399
<v Speaker 1>the long arm of Muller's justice is coming for them,

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.679
<v Speaker 1>if Muller can put down the sippy cup and the

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:05.639
<v Speaker 1>blankie and you know, have enough concentration in order to

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 1>go after them. I mean, the whole thing was just absurd.

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:13.520
<v Speaker 1>It really was. Thirty seven people and entities charged twenty

0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>five ongoing criminal cases. Referred that that doesn't mean anything.

0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.800
<v Speaker 1>And when you look at what the charges have been,

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and this is what they always leave out of it.

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 1>The charges all have nothing to do with Russian collusion.

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 1>The charges all have nothing to do with the the

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:34.920
<v Speaker 1>heart of the of this whole theory, the whole case.

0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:36.879
<v Speaker 1>But you know that they seem to think that if

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:38.440
<v Speaker 1>you get someone who's lying about what they had for

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:41.440
<v Speaker 1>breakfast last week, that's a win for the Justice Department.

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:47.919
<v Speaker 1>Oh sure, it is about absolutely absolutely. I'm trying to

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:52.880
<v Speaker 1>find where the where Muller. Oh, here's here's a little

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>important point. They obstruction is what they're trying to hang

0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.240
<v Speaker 1>their hat on. Now. It's oh, but there was obstruction,

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 1>ten counts of obstruction. It turns out that that's a

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 1>problem for them because to obstruct, you generally have to obstruct.

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:16.439
<v Speaker 1>That did not happen here. Play clip seven. And you

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:19.119
<v Speaker 1>can't confirm you're no longer special counsel. Correct, I am

0:24:19.160 --> 0:24:22.600
<v Speaker 1>no longer special counsel At any time with the investigation.

0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Was your investigation curtailed or stopped or handed No, were

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:31.959
<v Speaker 1>you or your team provide any questions Members of Congress

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:36.400
<v Speaker 1>of the Majority ahead of your hearing today? No, So,

0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:39.720
<v Speaker 1>the whole theory. Now for the Democrats of why they

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>should maybe I thought after today they'd have to they'd

0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 1>have to be crazy to go for impeachment. But then

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>again I keep saying they're crazy, So maybe what I'm

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:50.199
<v Speaker 1>telling you is, of course they're going to impeach. But

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the whole theory now rests on obstruction. Yet when mother

0:24:56.760 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 1>talks about the ten acts of obstruction, it never actually happened.

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 1>There was no obstruction. If the President of the United

0:25:03.320 --> 0:25:06.080
<v Speaker 1>States had wanted to shut this thing down, he could

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:09.119
<v Speaker 1>have just actually shut it down, and then there'd be

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:11.879
<v Speaker 1>a fight over whether or not he's constitutionally allowed to

0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 1>do that. And I think a lot of people would say,

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 1>based on the hoax that this whole thing was, you

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 1>cannot obstruct an illegitimate investigation. But they're now, I mean,

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I know you're running in these these circles. Here're like,

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 1>wait a second, what how can he obstruct an investigation

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.440
<v Speaker 1>that he did not obstruct, and that if he had

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>obstructed or at least stopped, he would have been justified

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>in doing because the whole thing was a farce, And

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.160
<v Speaker 1>people say, oh, buck, but what about the Russian interference?

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:47.440
<v Speaker 1>There was no need for a special counsel to investigate

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Russian interference. The Department of Justice could have done that

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 1>like a normal federal investigation. There's no need, there's no

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:56.360
<v Speaker 1>need for a special chain of command. The whole reason,

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>the whole rationale for the Muller involvement in this form

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.639
<v Speaker 1>are being the figurehead, as we know for a bunch

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 1>of angry Democrats to try to get at Trump was

0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:09.520
<v Speaker 1>because the White House was implicated, and now they try

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:11.359
<v Speaker 1>to walk away from that. Oh no, but look about

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 1>look at the Russian interference the election. By the way,

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>has anything changed since then? Has there been any accounting

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 1>for what happened in the now? Of course not, my friends,

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just all spasms of rage, seething fury from the

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 1>left at Trump for winning the twenty sixteen election and

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>then trying to find legal rationalizations for that and some

0:26:35.920 --> 0:26:42.040
<v Speaker 1>legal panacea for what ails the left. It's not Russian collusion,

0:26:42.080 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not obstruction. You know what we saw today ails

0:26:45.040 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the left. You know what really is their ultimate problem?

0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump is president of the United States. So the

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:56.200
<v Speaker 1>report did not conclude that he did not commit instruction justice?

0:26:57.560 --> 0:27:01.119
<v Speaker 1>Is that correct? That is correct? And what about total exoneration.

0:27:01.400 --> 0:27:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Did you actually totally exonerate the president? The finding indicates

0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:13.879
<v Speaker 1>that the president, uh was not that the president was

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 1>not exculpated for the acts that he allegedly committed. In fact,

0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:27.240
<v Speaker 1>you were talking about incidents quote in which the president

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 1>sought to use his official power outside of usual channels

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 1>un to exert undue influence over your investigations. Is that right?

0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:41.120
<v Speaker 1>That's correct? This is the new standard, folks. What does

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:45.359
<v Speaker 1>the left say? How does the left present these issues? Now?

0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:49.080
<v Speaker 1>You have to be proven, not just beyond a reasonable

0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:53.080
<v Speaker 1>beyond a reasonable doubt if you're charged, if you're not charged.

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:56.679
<v Speaker 1>The standard is that you have to have beyond a

0:27:56.720 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 1>reasonable doubt the absence of evidence that they were not

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:05.719
<v Speaker 1>even able to find. This is from the Muller Report.

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, let me just and I think this is

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:12.360
<v Speaker 1>in many ways the single most important line other than

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 1>there was no finding of collusion or conspirator, which was

0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the basis of this whole thing. That was all lie,

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:20.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't exist, it was all farce. But if you want

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to get a real sense of the intellectual dishonesty at

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:28.679
<v Speaker 1>the heart of the entire Muller probe, there is a

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:33.439
<v Speaker 1>line from the report that says the following quote. A

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:39.760
<v Speaker 1>statement that the investigation did not establish particular facts does

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>not mean there was no evidence of those facts. How

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 1>can Why are you including that in an investigative report

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:55.320
<v Speaker 1>about what are alleged to be very serious crimes that

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 1>change the course of a presidential election and with it

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>world history. Well, just because there's not stuff that we

0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 1>could show you, it doesn't mean we can tell you

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 1>definitively that that stuff doesn't exist. Imagine that. Imagine that

0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 1>someone's accused of being a rapist and the attorney general, well,

0:29:15.280 --> 0:29:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not the attorney general the district. That would be

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:20.320
<v Speaker 1>quite a case. The district attorney walks out on the

0:29:20.360 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 1>steps of the courthouse in whatever town. They say, So,

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it turns out there's absolutely zero evidence that we can

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 1>present that, you know, John Doe here is a rapist. However,

0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:36.560
<v Speaker 1>do not take the inability that we have to present

0:29:36.680 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 1>evidence of this guy being a rapist now as definitive

0:29:40.400 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>proof that he is not a rapist. That is what

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 1>they did to Trump two years, forty million dollars or

0:29:51.960 --> 0:30:00.040
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is, and the presentation of countless witnesses and

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:04.200
<v Speaker 1>documents and everything, and they weren't able to prove it,

0:30:04.200 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>and now their line is, well, just because we couldn't

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:09.480
<v Speaker 1>prove it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Why do we

0:30:09.480 --> 0:30:11.239
<v Speaker 1>even have a justice system, then, why not just have

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a blind allegation system where you just get to say

0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:17.680
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want about somebody and then they should suffer

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 1>consequences even without the presentation of any evidence. The Democratic

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Party is willing to throw centuries. They've done it with Kavanaugh,

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and now they've done it with Trump, and they will

0:30:28.480 --> 0:30:35.040
<v Speaker 1>do it again. They will throw centuries of Anglo Saxon, English,

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>American common law and jurisprudence in the incinerator if it

0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 1>means that they can get their way politically tomorrow. They

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:49.680
<v Speaker 1>don't care. They will the hope or the stuff that

0:30:49.680 --> 0:30:51.840
<v Speaker 1>our entire system is based on. I mean, the rule

0:30:51.920 --> 0:30:53.920
<v Speaker 1>of law is really one of the areas where we

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:57.640
<v Speaker 1>are most distinct, where we separate ourselves from so many

0:30:57.640 --> 0:31:01.480
<v Speaker 1>other societies all over the world. System we have to

0:31:01.720 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 1>protect individuals from the state and from the unfair, unjust

0:31:08.080 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>allegations or accusations of their fellow citizens. He's one of

0:31:13.400 --> 0:31:16.760
<v Speaker 1>the things that really does distinguish us from all these

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.600
<v Speaker 1>other countries and Democrats will they will tear the whole

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:25.000
<v Speaker 1>thing down. They will just rip all. They will kick

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>at the load bearing walls of Western civilization. They don't care.

0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:33.800
<v Speaker 1>That's how much they hate Trump. And that's what we

0:31:33.840 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>have seen today. This is also why they've had this

0:31:36.320 --> 0:31:42.040
<v Speaker 1>absolutely pathetic press conference they just held right right before

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I came on air, right before what was it like

0:31:46.280 --> 0:31:51.880
<v Speaker 1>five fifty pm Eastern? The Democrats have this conference they

0:31:51.920 --> 0:31:54.960
<v Speaker 1>hold where they get one after another. You know, you

0:31:55.040 --> 0:32:00.920
<v Speaker 1>get Nadler and Schiff and Pelosi and me, and they're

0:32:00.960 --> 0:32:03.160
<v Speaker 1>just you know, they're acting like they're on the Rachel

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Maddow Show, one after another, trying to make the case

0:32:05.440 --> 0:32:08.360
<v Speaker 1>to the audience. So no, no, it's where Trump still

0:32:08.440 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is a you know, Trump is still really bad. He's

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:15.440
<v Speaker 1>still colluded in an obstruction and obstruction Uh no, no,

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>fair minded person. You know, there's there's what. There's what

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you can take the law and expand it to include

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:25.720
<v Speaker 1>if you're willing to just not use any reason or

0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:30.080
<v Speaker 1>or a good judgment. No fair minded person thinks, Oh,

0:32:30.280 --> 0:32:35.880
<v Speaker 1>President Trump's reaction to a political hit and all the

0:32:36.000 --> 0:32:39.840
<v Speaker 1>lies that went into that against him, his reaction to

0:32:39.960 --> 0:32:44.720
<v Speaker 1>that unfair attack should be enough to destroy people always

0:32:44.760 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 1>talking about Nixon and oh, Nixon and water getting to

0:32:47.040 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 1>cover up. Nixon was trying to cover up doing bad stuff.

0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 1>The stuff wasn't even like that bad, but it was bad.

0:32:55.600 --> 0:32:57.960
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't that bad, but he was trying to cover

0:32:58.040 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 1>up stuff he did that was wrong. Trump didn't do

0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 1>anything wrong, and the Democrats come to you and say, oh,

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:07.760
<v Speaker 1>but he would like to have if he had been

0:33:07.800 --> 0:33:13.280
<v Speaker 1>able to cover up not doing anything wrong. This is

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 1>what crazy people think. This is Trump's arrangement syndrome. This

0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:22.000
<v Speaker 1>is a massed illusion. This is only possible in an

0:33:22.040 --> 0:33:25.760
<v Speaker 1>era of social media, echo chambers and sound bite television

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and all the things that have allowed the narrative on

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the left to become so deeply entrenched in the minds

0:33:33.720 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 1>of a majority of the Democratic Party at this point,

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean a true majority of them. I mean the

0:33:40.400 --> 0:33:43.800
<v Speaker 1>president was not exculpated for what he did. Okay, well

0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:46.920
<v Speaker 1>guess what. He also wasn't charged with anything. Well, they say, oh,

0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 1>but they're big, they're big. Moment that I was supposed

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 1>to be. Muller saying to Ted Lou Congressman Lou of

0:33:56.280 --> 0:34:00.400
<v Speaker 1>California that the reason he did not charge was because

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:02.720
<v Speaker 1>of the Office of Legal Council opinion. Turns out that's

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 1>not even not even what lou or rather, that's not

0:34:05.400 --> 0:34:10.600
<v Speaker 1>even Mueller said. He said, you know, there you go.

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 1>That's that's what it is. That's what's going on, folks,

0:34:16.400 --> 0:34:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Just lies and lies and lies. Democrats trying to clean

0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>clean up the mess that they made today. They wanted this,

0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:28.400
<v Speaker 1>remember that they wanted it. They wanted they're gonna get it,

0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and they got it. Let's have Mueller up there. Let's

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:36.040
<v Speaker 1>create this whole circus. We'll capitalize on this one. I

0:34:36.120 --> 0:34:38.600
<v Speaker 1>love it. I saw a headline on or rather a

0:34:38.680 --> 0:34:47.920
<v Speaker 1>thing on CNN that ninety House Democrats, ninety House Democrats,

0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:51.400
<v Speaker 1>um still want to impeach the present. They want to

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:55.080
<v Speaker 1>move to impeach. These people are nuts. They want to

0:34:55.080 --> 0:35:00.879
<v Speaker 1>impeach the after today they they bell of belly, they

0:35:01.000 --> 0:35:05.080
<v Speaker 1>belly flop in the shallow end of the pool, and

0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:06.760
<v Speaker 1>then they want to tell us all that they're actually

0:35:06.800 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Olympic divers. I mean, this is just it's beyond comprehension.

0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're trying so hard to make this about

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 1>something that it's not. But you know, this is this

0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:20.400
<v Speaker 1>is the problem. They've They've all tied their careers, the

0:35:20.480 --> 0:35:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have tied their credibility to and they this has

0:35:23.040 --> 0:35:28.759
<v Speaker 1>been a credibility self immolation for two years. There's no

0:35:28.800 --> 0:35:30.839
<v Speaker 1>turning back now, there's no walking it back. Now they

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:35.640
<v Speaker 1>are what they are. Man. I gotta say it was

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of it was kind of cathartic today to watch

0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 1>this though what it would a preposterous joke, this whole

0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:46.800
<v Speaker 1>investigation was. And who's been more correct in the substance

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump saying this was a witch hunt than it was

0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:50.920
<v Speaker 1>unfair and it was Democrats or the Democrats saying this

0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:54.319
<v Speaker 1>is about protecting our democracy. Yeah, I don't think so.

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Who had the best day to day? We know Muller

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 1>had a bad day, that's for sure, But who had

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:05.399
<v Speaker 1>a really strong showing for muller time on Capitol Hill.

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I've got some ideas for you. I think Jim Jordan,

0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:15.279
<v Speaker 1>you could argue, had the single most effective day of

0:36:15.360 --> 0:36:18.520
<v Speaker 1>anybody on Capitol Hill, although Ratcliffe also had had some

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:20.640
<v Speaker 1>really good stuff that I didn't even know Congress and

0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Ratcliffe very well before, but I think he did a

0:36:23.440 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 1>great job. But Jim Jordan more or less put the

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:32.919
<v Speaker 1>whole Russia collusion delusion in a half nelson and made

0:36:32.920 --> 0:36:36.440
<v Speaker 1>it cry uncle like that wrestling terminology. I don't know

0:36:36.440 --> 0:36:37.920
<v Speaker 1>if you know this. Not only does Jim Jordan not

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:41.560
<v Speaker 1>wear suit jackets in public, it's a real thing. But

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:44.960
<v Speaker 1>he was a champion state level wrestler back in the day.

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:48.960
<v Speaker 1>But here's what Jim Jordan with a with a body

0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:53.640
<v Speaker 1>slam of the collusion delusion. What's interesting. You can charge

0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 1>thirteen Russians no one's ever heard of, no one's ever seen,

0:36:57.640 --> 0:36:59.319
<v Speaker 1>no one's ever going to hear of him, no one's

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 1>ever going to see him. If you can charge them.

0:37:01.320 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 1>You can charge all kinds of people who are around

0:37:03.040 --> 0:37:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the president with false statements. But the guy who launches

0:37:07.680 --> 0:37:10.120
<v Speaker 1>every the guy who puts this whole story in motion,

0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you can't charge him. I think that's amazing. Certain, I'm

0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:18.399
<v Speaker 1>not certain I agree with your characterizations. Well, I'm reading

0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:22.880
<v Speaker 1>from your report. Miffson told Papadopolis. Papadopolis tells the diplomat,

0:37:22.920 --> 0:37:25.719
<v Speaker 1>the diplomat tells the FBI. The FBI opens the investigation

0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:28.640
<v Speaker 1>July thirty one, twenty sixteen, And here we are three

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 1>years later, July of twenty nineteen. The country's been put

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:34.680
<v Speaker 1>through this, and the central figure who launches at all

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:38.560
<v Speaker 1>lies to us, and you guys don't hunt him down

0:37:38.560 --> 0:37:41.239
<v Speaker 1>and interview him again, and you don't charge him with

0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the crime. Yeah, why is that? M Give it some thought.

0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:53.719
<v Speaker 1>What are the chances, folks, that if this investigation was

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:57.560
<v Speaker 1>really into anybody, anybody who might have colluded with the

0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Russians or been involved in this, not a single not

0:38:02.000 --> 0:38:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a single person identifiable as a Democrat was caught up

0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:11.720
<v Speaker 1>in any of this. What are the chances? Oh, okay,

0:38:11.920 --> 0:38:14.960
<v Speaker 1>let's look. Hillary Clinton can violate the Espionage Act over

0:38:15.000 --> 0:38:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a hundred times, her staff can help cover it up

0:38:19.480 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and lie about and do whatever they want, and you know,

0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:24.080
<v Speaker 1>no one gets charged. We're supposed to believe that only

0:38:24.120 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Republicans make minor misstatements of fact under oath. It seems

0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:33.440
<v Speaker 1>only Republican Democrats never do that. They commit huge crimes

0:38:33.480 --> 0:38:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and get away with them, but they don't do the

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:39.520
<v Speaker 1>lying under oath about little things. Who believes this? No

0:38:39.560 --> 0:38:43.200
<v Speaker 1>one believes this. It's all a double standard. That's what

0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 1>we are seeing here. This is what and you know,

0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:49.160
<v Speaker 1>it's just time that we stop pretending that this is

0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:52.120
<v Speaker 1>a coincidence. Or that this just happens because it's the

0:38:52.120 --> 0:38:55.319
<v Speaker 1>way that it is not true. Oh, you want some

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:58.960
<v Speaker 1>more evidence of Buck's theorem on this one, that the

0:38:59.040 --> 0:39:01.239
<v Speaker 1>left gets it easy and the right gets it rough.

0:39:03.800 --> 0:39:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Why hasn't Andy McCabe of the FBI been criminally charged yet?

0:39:07.520 --> 0:39:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Anyone want to tell me that huh Andy McCabe lied,

0:39:13.520 --> 0:39:17.600
<v Speaker 1>according to the FBI's own inspector General, at least twice

0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:22.399
<v Speaker 1>under oath. Where are the criminal charges against him? Does

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>anyone want to offer up an explanation? The FBI's own

0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>inspector General says that the FBI Acting director lied under

0:39:30.760 --> 0:39:37.279
<v Speaker 1>oath about leaks about matters of importance to a major investigation.

0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:42.720
<v Speaker 1>And he hasn't been charged with squat if sued, hasn't

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in charge with anything. You know, you got know this?

0:39:46.840 --> 0:39:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Where where are the Democrats that just happened to say

0:39:49.040 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the wrong thing the wrong time? Oh it didn't happen,

0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 1>did it? Christopher Steele? They ever put him under oath

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and really go through every go through everything that he

0:39:57.520 --> 0:40:02.359
<v Speaker 1>had to say, Well, we all know what's going on here,

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's disgusting, it's disgusted. Just allow yourself to know

0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:12.439
<v Speaker 1>what you know it's unsettling. It is unsettling to think

0:40:12.520 --> 0:40:19.960
<v Speaker 1>that the Democrats could be this partisan, this lacking in ethics.

0:40:20.400 --> 0:40:23.000
<v Speaker 1>But that's what we are dealing with. So we need

0:40:23.040 --> 0:40:26.320
<v Speaker 1>to accept what the truth is here and act based

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:31.760
<v Speaker 1>upon that truth. Here's what. By the way, Jim Jordan

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:35.160
<v Speaker 1>also talked about the need speaking of Jim Jordan's body

0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:38.200
<v Speaker 1>slams they need to investigate the investigators. Here's the good news.

0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:41.839
<v Speaker 1>The president was falsely accused of conspiracy. The FBI does

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a ten month investigation. James Cummy when we deposed him

0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:46.880
<v Speaker 1>a year ago, told us at that point they had nothing.

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 1>You do a twenty two month investigation. At the end

0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 1>of that twenty two months, you find no conspiracy. And

0:40:51.920 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 1>what's the Democrats want to do? They want to keep investigating,

0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:58.880
<v Speaker 1>they want to keep going. Maybe a better course of action.

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Maybe better course of action is to figure out how

0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the false accusation started. Maybe it's to go back and

0:41:05.680 --> 0:41:08.800
<v Speaker 1>actually figure out why Joseph Nipson was lying to the FBI.

0:41:09.040 --> 0:41:12.359
<v Speaker 1>And here's the good news. Here's the good news. That's

0:41:12.440 --> 0:41:16.279
<v Speaker 1>exactly what Bill Barr's doing, and thank goodness for that.

0:41:16.280 --> 0:41:18.680
<v Speaker 1>That's exactly what the Attorney General and John Durham are do.

0:41:18.719 --> 0:41:20.960
<v Speaker 1>They're going to find out why we went through this

0:41:21.120 --> 0:41:24.520
<v Speaker 1>three years time year in Naga and get to the bottom.

0:41:24.600 --> 0:41:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I would like us to get to the bottom. I'd

0:41:26.520 --> 0:41:30.600
<v Speaker 1>like to know what's going on here. And I think

0:41:30.640 --> 0:41:32.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the American people who care about this investigation,

0:41:32.840 --> 0:41:35.759
<v Speaker 1>which is probably dwindling, is probably getting smaller day by day.

0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:37.799
<v Speaker 1>We're all just sick of this crap. The Democrats have

0:41:37.840 --> 0:41:41.520
<v Speaker 1>put us through. The sore loser I'm ready for her,

0:41:42.080 --> 0:41:46.960
<v Speaker 1>whoa Hillary. They won't give it up, and so we

0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:49.799
<v Speaker 1>all have to just deal with it. We all have

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to get dragged through their lack of psychological stability, the

0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:01.279
<v Speaker 1>left's unwillingness to accept what has happened to this day.

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:05.319
<v Speaker 1>That is where we are, that is what is going on.

0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:09.239
<v Speaker 1>We need answers here. I think the Inspector General report,

0:42:09.239 --> 0:42:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you this right now, my prediction. We

0:42:11.400 --> 0:42:14.160
<v Speaker 1>can replay this later. I'm gonna sound very prescient. I

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:19.920
<v Speaker 1>have a feeling the Inspector General report is not is

0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:24.320
<v Speaker 1>not going to result in some Hallelujah moment of justice

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:27.040
<v Speaker 1>for Trump and everything else, because they're going to try

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.439
<v Speaker 1>to protect the institution of the FBI, So they're gonna

0:42:29.440 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 1>pull up, They're gonna pull the punches at the end,

0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:33.960
<v Speaker 1>but oh, there's going to be some stuff and then

0:42:33.960 --> 0:42:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Inspector General report that makes this whole thing look even

0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:40.520
<v Speaker 1>dirtier than it is, and we'll watch the Democrats just

0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:43.120
<v Speaker 1>make fools of themselves trying to explain it all on TV.

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Good news for them is they don't have any integrity

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 1>to protect. In fact is we are living in this

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:52.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty first century new type of asymmetrical media warfare that

0:42:52.400 --> 0:42:54.719
<v Speaker 1>we're in. It. You have a propaganda machine on the right,

0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and let's what it is is a full fledged propaganda

0:42:57.239 --> 0:43:00.960
<v Speaker 1>machine on the right that the Democrats haven't figured out

0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:03.080
<v Speaker 1>how to come back very well. And I think they

0:43:03.239 --> 0:43:06.359
<v Speaker 1>took the trunk day, meaning they said, oh, yeah, you're

0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:08.920
<v Speaker 1>good at TV spectacles, We're gonna make a TV spectacle.

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's Chuck Todd, a moron. I know, he's

0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 1>paid a lot of money and he's famous for reasons

0:43:15.640 --> 0:43:19.319
<v Speaker 1>that I couldn't tell you. Some TV executives must really

0:43:19.360 --> 0:43:21.960
<v Speaker 1>like him. At NBC, I could not explain to you

0:43:22.239 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>what the Chuck Todd skill set is. He's, as far

0:43:26.640 --> 0:43:29.920
<v Speaker 1>as I can tell, completely replaceable with about ten thousand

0:43:29.960 --> 0:43:33.640
<v Speaker 1>other local news anchors who are libs across the country.

0:43:33.800 --> 0:43:36.719
<v Speaker 1>I cannot tell you what Chuck Todd's particulars. He's been

0:43:36.760 --> 0:43:39.759
<v Speaker 1>around the game a long time. I've never heard him

0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:42.480
<v Speaker 1>say anything insightful, never heard him say anything partically interesting.

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:47.040
<v Speaker 1>In fact, it's just a lot of boilerplate lib nonsense.

0:43:47.719 --> 0:43:50.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's fascinating, the lack of self awareness

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:54.359
<v Speaker 1>on a day like today, when the media was made

0:43:54.360 --> 0:43:59.959
<v Speaker 1>to look like a bunch of complete buffoons, for Chuck

0:44:00.080 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Todd to then come out and say, oh, the right

0:44:02.680 --> 0:44:04.960
<v Speaker 1>has a propaganda machine and the left hasn't you know,

0:44:05.080 --> 0:44:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Or rather he would say, you know, the Democrats and

0:44:07.160 --> 0:44:09.319
<v Speaker 1>the real the good people, the real journalists, we haven't

0:44:09.320 --> 0:44:12.080
<v Speaker 1>figured out how to combat that. The right has a

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:18.240
<v Speaker 1>propaganda machine. The left has a stranglehold on ninety percent

0:44:18.440 --> 0:44:24.120
<v Speaker 1>of journalism in this country, ninety percent of it. At least,

0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the left has a stranglehold on about ninety percent of

0:44:28.560 --> 0:44:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the federal bureaucracy. Based on donations in the twenty sixteen

0:44:32.080 --> 0:44:35.799
<v Speaker 1>campaign season to Hillary Clinton and based on my time

0:44:35.800 --> 0:44:37.880
<v Speaker 1>working for the federal government when there were just libs

0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:40.719
<v Speaker 1>a plenty, all over the place. Except the only place

0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:42.520
<v Speaker 1>where you're like, oh, I can talk about how I

0:44:42.560 --> 0:44:44.520
<v Speaker 1>love America and want to want to wave a flag,

0:44:44.560 --> 0:44:46.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, on the fourth of July outside of my

0:44:46.160 --> 0:44:50.440
<v Speaker 1>house and not feel weird is around people from the military. Everybody,

0:44:50.719 --> 0:44:53.040
<v Speaker 1>like in the civil service or whatever. I mean, they

0:44:53.120 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 1>might be cool with it, but a lot of them are.

0:44:56.000 --> 0:44:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Allot of them are driving to work in a prius

0:45:00.120 --> 0:45:03.520
<v Speaker 1>nice kind of you know, vomit green color with a

0:45:04.080 --> 0:45:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren bumper sticker on, you know, because

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:08.839
<v Speaker 1>that's the ticket that they would really love to see.

0:45:08.880 --> 0:45:09.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you get a lot of that in the

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:12.360
<v Speaker 1>federal government. Think about it's people that go work for

0:45:12.400 --> 0:45:15.239
<v Speaker 1>the federal government tend to be risk averse. I'm not

0:45:15.280 --> 0:45:18.879
<v Speaker 1>saying everybody, please don't send me a message about your

0:45:18.920 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 1>amazing patriot. You know cousin who's who's in the FBI

0:45:23.280 --> 0:45:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and is a Republican and you know, serve four tours

0:45:26.040 --> 0:45:28.040
<v Speaker 1>in Iraq. Yeah, I love that guy too. I mean,

0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:31.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about him this and I know people

0:45:31.880 --> 0:45:35.880
<v Speaker 1>like the federal government. I'm speaking about the general mass.

0:45:36.080 --> 0:45:38.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, this is like talking about college campuses. Yeah,

0:45:38.719 --> 0:45:41.400
<v Speaker 1>college campuses are full of libs. That's no question that

0:45:41.600 --> 0:45:43.960
<v Speaker 1>professors are libs. Most of the student body or libs.

0:45:44.320 --> 0:45:49.279
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't mean I'm not demeaning the amazing conservatives who

0:45:49.320 --> 0:45:51.640
<v Speaker 1>are standing up for themselves and their beliefs on campus

0:45:51.680 --> 0:45:53.680
<v Speaker 1>across the country. Of course not. They're awesome, right, But

0:45:54.200 --> 0:45:56.600
<v Speaker 1>is it wrong to say that campuses are libs are

0:45:56.640 --> 0:46:00.160
<v Speaker 1>liberal just because there are some conservatives. No, we have

0:46:00.239 --> 0:46:02.319
<v Speaker 1>to speak in some generalities here or else we can't

0:46:02.360 --> 0:46:05.880
<v Speaker 1>have a conversation about it at all. Back to the

0:46:05.880 --> 0:46:12.600
<v Speaker 1>point about Chuck Todd and the propaganda apparatus. It's so

0:46:12.680 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 1>much larger on the left, but he thinks it's a

0:46:14.600 --> 0:46:19.560
<v Speaker 1>problem on the right. He blames. He's blaming conservatives and

0:46:19.680 --> 0:46:22.319
<v Speaker 1>blaming in a Fox News and Talk radio which you're

0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:26.319
<v Speaker 1>listening to right now, Well, hello talk radio. Hey, listen

0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:29.839
<v Speaker 1>to Buck Sexton's propaganda machine on the Buck Sexton Show,

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:33.720
<v Speaker 1>convincing you to love America and actually used your brain.

0:46:35.160 --> 0:46:36.880
<v Speaker 1>We could probably do that, like the top of the

0:46:36.920 --> 0:46:40.799
<v Speaker 1>show replaced the intro we've got right now, but hey,

0:46:40.840 --> 0:46:45.600
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. The propaganda Machine. This

0:46:45.640 --> 0:46:48.360
<v Speaker 1>is where I always tell you that propaganda acquired I

0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:50.719
<v Speaker 1>just think it's a fun historical tidbit. Many of you

0:46:50.719 --> 0:46:53.920
<v Speaker 1>have heard me say it before, but I love you,

0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:58.640
<v Speaker 1>give me a little leeway. You had. Until the twentieth century,

0:46:58.640 --> 0:47:01.319
<v Speaker 1>propaganda really wasn't a necessarily a negative thing at all.

0:47:01.360 --> 0:47:04.920
<v Speaker 1>It started with the Catholic Church, and the propaganda defeated

0:47:04.960 --> 0:47:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the propagation of the faith, and it was supposed to

0:47:07.920 --> 0:47:10.200
<v Speaker 1>be a commission within the Vatican to make sure that

0:47:10.239 --> 0:47:13.399
<v Speaker 1>the proper Catholic faith was being spread all over the world.

0:47:13.440 --> 0:47:16.080
<v Speaker 1>And then later on, in really the First World War

0:47:16.200 --> 0:47:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and with the beginning of mass media and radio in particular,

0:47:21.600 --> 0:47:25.480
<v Speaker 1>propaganda took on this negative, negative term. But I think

0:47:25.480 --> 0:47:28.359
<v Speaker 1>that anybody you know propaganda, if it's just the continuation

0:47:28.440 --> 0:47:30.319
<v Speaker 1>of ideas, with the spread of ideas and the hope

0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that people will adopt them, I don't think it's necessarily

0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:36.360
<v Speaker 1>a bad thing at all. I am a propagandist for

0:47:36.440 --> 0:47:40.840
<v Speaker 1>America and for conservatism and for Judeo Christian values because

0:47:40.880 --> 0:47:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that they are right, and I tell you

0:47:42.960 --> 0:47:44.720
<v Speaker 1>that I think they are right, and I think everybody

0:47:44.719 --> 0:47:47.160
<v Speaker 1>should adopt them, and that would make us a better world,

0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:51.239
<v Speaker 1>a better country, a better world, you name it. But

0:47:51.320 --> 0:47:53.279
<v Speaker 1>the left has to come up with some explanation for

0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:58.399
<v Speaker 1>the dumpster fire that was the ambush of Trump over

0:47:58.440 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the last two years, as evident from everything that we

0:48:01.960 --> 0:48:05.920
<v Speaker 1>saw today. I mean, what a what a what an

0:48:06.040 --> 0:48:09.960
<v Speaker 1>abject to buckle this whole thing was, I will tell you,

0:48:10.400 --> 0:48:12.640
<v Speaker 1>And I hate admitting when I don't nail something. I

0:48:12.680 --> 0:48:15.439
<v Speaker 1>hate admitting it because I usually nailed things. I didn't

0:48:15.440 --> 0:48:18.479
<v Speaker 1>think today would be as bad. On last night, on

0:48:18.480 --> 0:48:22.880
<v Speaker 1>on Brett Bear's show, I said, I said that it

0:48:22.920 --> 0:48:24.920
<v Speaker 1>would be as much about what wasn't said as what

0:48:25.120 --> 0:48:26.719
<v Speaker 1>was said, which was true. But I think that's a

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:29.239
<v Speaker 1>pretty obvious point. You know, I graved myself not in

0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a curve. I know when I say I know when

0:48:31.160 --> 0:48:33.239
<v Speaker 1>I say insightful things on TV and when I'm like

0:48:33.280 --> 0:48:39.160
<v Speaker 1>just another just another you know, uh schmo with a

0:48:39.160 --> 0:48:42.080
<v Speaker 1>side part on air. And but the thing I did

0:48:42.120 --> 0:48:44.120
<v Speaker 1>say is it was well, was that, you know, Muller

0:48:44.200 --> 0:48:46.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't do so well and that last press conference he

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:49.640
<v Speaker 1>gave the one before today, So keep that in mind.

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:51.919
<v Speaker 1>I knew that it it was possible. I did not think

0:48:51.920 --> 0:48:57.040
<v Speaker 1>it would be the the utter implosion that it was today.

0:48:57.080 --> 0:48:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I did not think that that was the case because

0:48:59.880 --> 0:49:02.279
<v Speaker 1>I figured the Democrats would have to have a better,

0:49:04.040 --> 0:49:06.040
<v Speaker 1>a better plan than this. I mean, they were leaking

0:49:06.080 --> 0:49:09.160
<v Speaker 1>that they were running through uh you know, they were

0:49:09.239 --> 0:49:15.280
<v Speaker 1>running through scenarios, they were doing mock Muller testimony stuff.

0:49:16.920 --> 0:49:19.800
<v Speaker 1>It's just just amazing, it really really is it really

0:49:19.880 --> 0:49:22.319
<v Speaker 1>is that this is, this is where we are. So

0:49:22.360 --> 0:49:24.640
<v Speaker 1>now they blame uh, now they blame a Probably it's

0:49:24.640 --> 0:49:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Republicans fault that Muller couldn't make this sound credible. It's

0:49:30.640 --> 0:49:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Republicans fault that because it's our propaganda machine. How how

0:49:35.600 --> 0:49:38.640
<v Speaker 1>pathetic is that? And I also noticed that there was

0:49:40.080 --> 0:49:45.839
<v Speaker 1>there's this effort to say that you can't, you can't

0:49:45.880 --> 0:49:49.760
<v Speaker 1>come out and criticize that. Muller seemed like a dottering,

0:49:51.200 --> 0:49:53.040
<v Speaker 1>dottering old fool. What was the thing that Kim Jong

0:49:53.160 --> 0:49:56.880
<v Speaker 1>unseid about Trump? Again? He called them this before they

0:49:57.239 --> 0:50:00.319
<v Speaker 1>quote fell in love? What did he call them? A heard?

0:50:00.360 --> 0:50:04.120
<v Speaker 1>I think right? A Dtaard Doddard. One of the rare

0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:09.560
<v Speaker 1>times I learned a word from the news cycle and

0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:12.720
<v Speaker 1>international relations. I did not know the word dotard until

0:50:12.840 --> 0:50:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Kim Jong unused it, at least in translation to talk

0:50:16.680 --> 0:50:22.160
<v Speaker 1>about Donald Trump. But if you said that Muller was

0:50:23.040 --> 0:50:25.760
<v Speaker 1>looking like he had lost a step, like he wasn't

0:50:25.760 --> 0:50:27.960
<v Speaker 1>really with it, like he didn't know what's going on.

0:50:28.320 --> 0:50:32.040
<v Speaker 1>There's Oh, Muller is a patriot and he's amazing. He's fantastic.

0:50:32.080 --> 0:50:34.319
<v Speaker 1>He's a great man. He served his country in the

0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:38.120
<v Speaker 1>military and everything I said, you know what, that's how

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:40.480
<v Speaker 1>could I do anything other than respect the man's service

0:50:40.640 --> 0:50:43.799
<v Speaker 1>in Vietnam. It's fantastic, the service need in Vietnam, it's brave.

0:50:43.880 --> 0:50:45.960
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people wouldn't do it, didn't do it.

0:50:46.000 --> 0:50:48.799
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people in politics on both sides no

0:50:48.920 --> 0:50:51.240
<v Speaker 1>interest in serving. So yeah, of course I'm not talking

0:50:51.280 --> 0:50:54.720
<v Speaker 1>about that though, And if we're gonna play that game,

0:50:55.520 --> 0:50:58.200
<v Speaker 1>why is it that that Muller is beyond reproach and

0:50:58.280 --> 0:51:02.600
<v Speaker 1>criticism as a person because he served in the uniform.

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:08.360
<v Speaker 1>But but our our friend, General General Flynn, who served

0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:12.600
<v Speaker 1>over thirty years in the United States military, he should

0:51:12.640 --> 0:51:17.080
<v Speaker 1>get fed to the wolves because he misremembered something that

0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:19.120
<v Speaker 1>he said to some FBI agents who he thought were

0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:20.919
<v Speaker 1>on his team when he was in the White House.

0:51:20.960 --> 0:51:23.160
<v Speaker 1>And it was all a set up by Sally Yates

0:51:23.200 --> 0:51:27.759
<v Speaker 1>and a bunch of other left wing hacks. Oh, Flynn is.

0:51:27.800 --> 0:51:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Flynn is are an agent of Russia and he's a

0:51:29.400 --> 0:51:32.200
<v Speaker 1>trader because because he lied about something that wasn't illegal,

0:51:32.200 --> 0:51:35.120
<v Speaker 1>that nobody should really care about. Blah blah blah. That's

0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:38.440
<v Speaker 1>what they say. You'll have no standards whatsoever. You know,

0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:41.279
<v Speaker 1>you can trash Flynn all day long, even though he

0:51:41.360 --> 0:51:43.640
<v Speaker 1>served for thirty years. But if you if you trash Muller,

0:51:44.040 --> 0:51:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you're a girl going after his service. These are just

0:51:46.080 --> 0:51:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the games they play. They hope they scare you off

0:51:48.040 --> 0:51:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the truth with it. But the other one is and

0:51:52.080 --> 0:51:56.799
<v Speaker 1>I've seen the same journalist, the same jour knows, the

0:51:56.840 --> 0:52:01.040
<v Speaker 1>same leftist activist pretending to be object active sources of

0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:06.640
<v Speaker 1>news that are out there that we're saying. I have

0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:10.799
<v Speaker 1>been saying that Trump is crazy, I mean actually not

0:52:11.000 --> 0:52:14.880
<v Speaker 1>of sound mind, having some kind of men or not

0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:16.880
<v Speaker 1>just a mental breakdown. But they'll say that he is

0:52:17.000 --> 0:52:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a scenile, that he's he's an insane person. If you

0:52:21.680 --> 0:52:25.240
<v Speaker 1>point out that it did look like Muller was brought

0:52:25.280 --> 0:52:28.640
<v Speaker 1>out of a retirement community to give this at you know,

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:31.080
<v Speaker 1>no offense or retirement communities. But it did seem like

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:34.719
<v Speaker 1>this guy wasn't exactly at his freshest and best for

0:52:34.760 --> 0:52:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the most explosive political investigation of my lifetime. Oh, disrespectful,

0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:43.239
<v Speaker 1>how could you? And everything goes okay, so Trump, you know,

0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:47.840
<v Speaker 1>seventy three year old Trump's state of mind and or

0:52:47.960 --> 0:52:51.040
<v Speaker 1>i should say, mental faculties. That's open season for the

0:52:51.120 --> 0:52:53.600
<v Speaker 1>left all the time. That's no problem. But you make

0:52:53.640 --> 0:52:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the same case based on actual evidence about Muller, and

0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:02.920
<v Speaker 1>you're a bad person who's being disrespectful of his service,

0:53:03.160 --> 0:53:06.560
<v Speaker 1>disrespectful of his age. Sorry, I'm just not going to

0:53:06.680 --> 0:53:12.520
<v Speaker 1>let them play that game. We need one standard by

0:53:12.560 --> 0:53:16.640
<v Speaker 1>which we evaluate any issue of importance in public life.

0:53:16.640 --> 0:53:19.399
<v Speaker 1>We need one standard. No more double standards. We need

0:53:19.480 --> 0:53:23.560
<v Speaker 1>one rule of law that applies equally to both sides,

0:53:23.640 --> 0:53:27.680
<v Speaker 1>left and right, Democrat and Republican. No more of this kid,

0:53:27.680 --> 0:53:33.120
<v Speaker 1>gloves for Hillary and broken glass all over the gloves

0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:37.680
<v Speaker 1>for anybody around Trump. All right? That, No, that cannot

0:53:37.719 --> 0:53:42.080
<v Speaker 1>stand anymore. This pole society's apart. You want to talk

0:53:42.080 --> 0:53:45.640
<v Speaker 1>about undermining institutions. One of the favorite complaints of the left.

0:53:46.160 --> 0:53:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Double standards undermine all our institutions. And we saw that today.

0:53:50.200 --> 0:53:52.239
<v Speaker 1>A lot of conservatives in particular, would say that the

0:53:52.320 --> 0:53:54.960
<v Speaker 1>rise in Islamophobia is a result lot of hate, but

0:53:55.040 --> 0:53:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a fear, a legitimate fear. They say of quote unquote

0:53:58.680 --> 0:54:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Johnnie terrorism, whether it's Forthood or San Bernardino or the

0:54:02.200 --> 0:54:05.239
<v Speaker 1>recent truck attack in New York, what do you say

0:54:05.280 --> 0:54:09.959
<v Speaker 1>to them? I would say, our country should be more

0:54:10.080 --> 0:54:15.320
<v Speaker 1>fearful of of of white man across our country because

0:54:15.320 --> 0:54:20.960
<v Speaker 1>they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.

0:54:21.280 --> 0:54:28.480
<v Speaker 1>We should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight

0:54:28.800 --> 0:54:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the radicalization of white men. White people are the problem.

0:54:32.680 --> 0:54:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Ilhanomar says, that's what she said. I'm not we played

0:54:35.400 --> 0:54:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the audio. White man are the problem. White men are

0:54:38.920 --> 0:54:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the threat. Now I thought I thought that was a

0:54:42.320 --> 0:54:45.799
<v Speaker 1>racist thing to say, right, it's a stupid thing to say.

0:54:45.960 --> 0:54:47.840
<v Speaker 1>But if she's gonna say it, and now we're going

0:54:47.920 --> 0:54:49.680
<v Speaker 1>to give in the realm of let's have a discussion

0:54:49.680 --> 0:54:52.960
<v Speaker 1>about this, okay, Ilhanomar, let's talk. I assume this is

0:54:53.000 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 1>in reference. I know it's in reference to the recent

0:54:55.600 --> 0:55:00.000
<v Speaker 1>report the FBI says that most of their extremist investigations

0:55:00.120 --> 0:55:04.160
<v Speaker 1>terrorism investigations are of white nationalists or white supremacists or

0:55:04.200 --> 0:55:07.759
<v Speaker 1>whatever that may be. I actually know something about this

0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:11.480
<v Speaker 1>because unlike ninety five percent of people in the media,

0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:15.719
<v Speaker 1>I worked in counter terrorism and had to day in

0:55:15.760 --> 0:55:18.160
<v Speaker 1>and day out look at cases, deal with cases. This

0:55:18.239 --> 0:55:21.319
<v Speaker 1>is that That was my life for years. So let

0:55:21.320 --> 0:55:24.640
<v Speaker 1>me explain something to missus ilhan Omar. If she's going

0:55:24.680 --> 0:55:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the threat, engaging the threat and who

0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:30.799
<v Speaker 1>we should be concerned about and who we should profile

0:55:31.000 --> 0:55:35.160
<v Speaker 1>or devote resources too, then you have to you have

0:55:35.280 --> 0:55:39.799
<v Speaker 1>to look at the numbers, and by the numbers, let's

0:55:39.800 --> 0:55:43.080
<v Speaker 1>have a discussion about jihadism versus white nationalism. Let's go.

0:55:43.200 --> 0:55:45.959
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's break this down for a moment. The US

0:55:46.080 --> 0:55:53.960
<v Speaker 1>population is roughly sixty to sixty five percent white. Of

0:55:54.160 --> 0:56:00.520
<v Speaker 1>that population, it's roughly, let's say, thirty percent mail, thirty

0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:07.520
<v Speaker 1>percent of America is white males. And you have all

0:56:07.560 --> 0:56:09.680
<v Speaker 1>of the terror attacks that they talk about, and you know,

0:56:09.800 --> 0:56:13.799
<v Speaker 1>you add all these numbers together and it's roughly equivalent

0:56:14.280 --> 0:56:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to the number of jeehottest terror murders in the United States,

0:56:19.040 --> 0:56:21.440
<v Speaker 1>assuming that you forget all about nine to eleven and

0:56:21.480 --> 0:56:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the incineration and murder of three thousand people all in

0:56:24.640 --> 0:56:27.439
<v Speaker 1>one day. So just cut that part of it out

0:56:27.520 --> 0:56:31.480
<v Speaker 1>and assuming you forget about the hundreds and hundreds of

0:56:31.800 --> 0:56:36.279
<v Speaker 1>thwarted jeehottest terror attacks that have occurred or that would

0:56:36.280 --> 0:56:40.120
<v Speaker 1>have occurred since nine eleven, killing untold thousands more, including

0:56:40.320 --> 0:56:43.520
<v Speaker 1>blowing up a plane on Christmas Day over Detroit for

0:56:43.640 --> 0:56:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Rucal Delmatalad, the underwear bomber, blowing up Times Square when

0:56:47.480 --> 0:56:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I was working at the Intelligence Division, you know, look

0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:54.839
<v Speaker 1>at all these major attacks where they just barely avoided

0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:57.600
<v Speaker 1>a mass casualty situation or the and that's not even

0:56:57.600 --> 0:56:59.359
<v Speaker 1>including the guys that get picked up while they're trying

0:56:59.360 --> 0:57:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to buy the mosives are by the weapons. But even

0:57:02.120 --> 0:57:06.600
<v Speaker 1>going beyond all of that for a moment, there's about

0:57:06.680 --> 0:57:11.040
<v Speaker 1>one percent of America is Muslim American about one percent,

0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:13.680
<v Speaker 1>So you're looking at maybe we'll even say it's two percent.

0:57:13.800 --> 0:57:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's say it's five, five, four or five million people.

0:57:16.840 --> 0:57:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's say half of them are about half of them

0:57:20.160 --> 0:57:22.720
<v Speaker 1>are male. So you're looking at about two or three

0:57:23.080 --> 0:57:27.920
<v Speaker 1>million Muslim Americans versus who are males. Right, and I

0:57:28.040 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 1>know not all terrorists are mail, but let's just for

0:57:29.920 --> 0:57:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the purpose of our discussion, versus about thirty to forty

0:57:33.400 --> 0:57:38.400
<v Speaker 1>million white American males. And you have roughly equivalent numbers

0:57:38.440 --> 0:57:43.840
<v Speaker 1>of casualties and dead from extremism minus nine to eleven,

0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:45.919
<v Speaker 1>which I think is a massive concession that we should

0:57:46.000 --> 0:57:49.040
<v Speaker 1>not make because it takes out of the discussion all

0:57:49.080 --> 0:57:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the resources in effort of thing us what ilhan by

0:57:52.040 --> 0:57:57.720
<v Speaker 1>ilhan omar logic, Muslim American males are a fifteen x

0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:04.480
<v Speaker 1>roughly terror threat to White American males based on the numbers.

0:58:04.800 --> 0:58:06.560
<v Speaker 1>So is this the game that she wants to play?

0:58:06.600 --> 0:58:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Does she really want to you know, where does this

0:58:09.800 --> 0:58:11.800
<v Speaker 1>stop and start? If she wants to open this up?

0:58:11.840 --> 0:58:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Do we get to walk through this store? Do we

0:58:13.400 --> 0:58:16.880
<v Speaker 1>get to actually have this discussion or not? Here you

0:58:16.920 --> 0:58:19.480
<v Speaker 1>have a member of Congress who says things like white

0:58:19.480 --> 0:58:21.760
<v Speaker 1>men are scary and we should pay more attention to

0:58:21.800 --> 0:58:24.800
<v Speaker 1>the threat from white men. I think we're allowed to

0:58:24.840 --> 0:58:28.280
<v Speaker 1>make a counter argument here that one that's a stupid

0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and nasty way to speak about anybody. And two, if

0:58:32.120 --> 0:58:34.800
<v Speaker 1>we're really going to break this down demographically, okay, let's

0:58:34.800 --> 0:58:37.960
<v Speaker 1>do that. Then let's look at the white American male

0:58:38.000 --> 0:58:41.240
<v Speaker 1>population and the Muslim American male population and tell me

0:58:41.480 --> 0:58:46.160
<v Speaker 1>which one has been a greater threat of extremism and

0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:50.800
<v Speaker 1>terrorist violence by the numbers. I mean, you know, I

0:58:50.800 --> 0:58:54.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know how many times I have to off the

0:58:54.040 --> 0:58:57.800
<v Speaker 1>top turnbuckle crush the libs on this one. I've done it.

0:58:57.920 --> 0:58:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I used to do it all the time at CNN.

0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:01.920
<v Speaker 1>They all always get smoked on this because they're so

0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:08.960
<v Speaker 1>desperate to believe, for whatever reason, that white Christian males

0:59:09.080 --> 0:59:12.960
<v Speaker 1>in America are the real threat, whatever that means to them.

0:59:13.120 --> 0:59:17.120
<v Speaker 1>They but they are invested in this Vox and HuffPo

0:59:17.280 --> 0:59:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and all these different liberal websites. They really want to

0:59:20.040 --> 0:59:23.320
<v Speaker 1>believe that the real threat or white Christian males. I

0:59:23.360 --> 0:59:26.640
<v Speaker 1>believe the real threat are people who are radicalized. I

0:59:26.720 --> 0:59:29.400
<v Speaker 1>believe that the real threat within the Muslim community are

0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:35.000
<v Speaker 1>radical Islamists geehotists, so a subset. I don't think that

0:59:35.040 --> 0:59:38.600
<v Speaker 1>one person from any community, based on being in that community,

0:59:38.600 --> 0:59:43.760
<v Speaker 1>should be concerned a greater threat. We're looking for specific radicalization,

0:59:43.800 --> 0:59:46.400
<v Speaker 1>but if we're looking for radicalization by the numbers, it

0:59:46.520 --> 0:59:49.720
<v Speaker 1>is still much more likely to exist within the American

0:59:49.720 --> 0:59:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Islamic community than the white male community. So let's just

0:59:53.080 --> 0:59:55.000
<v Speaker 1>be honest about that, all right, everybody, I got a

0:59:55.040 --> 0:59:57.240
<v Speaker 1>special treat for you today. It's been a while since

0:59:57.240 --> 1:00:00.720
<v Speaker 1>we have heard from our friend Kevin william Sin. But

1:00:00.960 --> 1:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>fortunately he has a brand new book out, so we

1:00:03.680 --> 1:00:06.080
<v Speaker 1>have an excuse to force him to come hang out

1:00:06.120 --> 1:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>with us. The book is the smallest minority independent thinking

1:00:11.200 --> 1:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>in the age of mob politics. Kevin, of course, is

1:00:15.040 --> 1:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>roving correspondent from National Review. Mister Kevin Williams, and good

1:00:18.200 --> 1:00:20.840
<v Speaker 1>to have you back, sir. Good to be here, Bucky. Now,

1:00:20.840 --> 1:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't going to do at the book to selling him,

1:00:22.960 --> 1:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>because I guess I'll hang out with you from that.

1:00:24.800 --> 1:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. So tell me what the book's all about.

1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>The book is about the way Ian Ranch social media

1:00:32.120 --> 1:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>has contributed to the destruction of our democrats political discourse.

1:00:36.960 --> 1:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm making everyone a representative of Lauren Shrow rather than

1:00:40.200 --> 1:00:44.120
<v Speaker 1>an individual and citizen. Okay, give me a little bit.

1:00:44.280 --> 1:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's that's a thing. Um. I mean, look,

1:00:47.480 --> 1:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>but it says, so, you know, I want to have

1:00:49.400 --> 1:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you heard the I've been talking about all week. People

1:00:51.840 --> 1:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>probably say of this, but the noval ravocant Joe Rogan discussion,

1:00:54.960 --> 1:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>because I think that he you know, they Joe had

1:00:56.920 --> 1:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>him on his podcast recently, and I've listened to this thing.

1:01:00.080 --> 1:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Joe Robin a lot, he's funny. Yeah, well, well, I'll

1:01:02.280 --> 1:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>just the basic thesis that Neval has is that in

1:01:06.680 --> 1:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the digital information agent which we now live, these massive

1:01:09.880 --> 1:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>journalistic establishments they don't really serve the purpose that they

1:01:12.880 --> 1:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>pretend to, and so they have actually become massive activism organizations,

1:01:17.160 --> 1:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>and so that has been magnified through social media into

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the warring factions that you're talking about. Yeah, I think

1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:25.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe there's a slightly different way I would talk about that,

1:01:26.080 --> 1:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>which is that people go to news media and social

1:01:28.960 --> 1:01:32.160
<v Speaker 1>media for different things and they get them confused. So

1:01:32.240 --> 1:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>no one goes to Twitter really to learn about what's

1:01:35.200 --> 1:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>going on in the world. No one goes to Twitter

1:01:37.600 --> 1:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>for reporting or original perspectives or anything like that. People

1:01:40.880 --> 1:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>go to Twitter and to a lesser extent, Facebook for

1:01:44.360 --> 1:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>emotional validation. They want people to pay attention to them,

1:01:47.280 --> 1:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to make them feel important and to say we're in

1:01:49.680 --> 1:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the white hats and these other guys are in the

1:01:51.120 --> 1:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>black hats, and we're the good guys, and they're the villains,

1:01:53.680 --> 1:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and we're nice and they're munch of Nazis. So the problem,

1:01:57.320 --> 1:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of course, is that kind of emotional, emotionally driven ad

1:02:02.080 --> 1:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>hominem view of the world is not very useful for

1:02:04.680 --> 1:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>discussion to beginning information, but it's very useful for building

1:02:08.200 --> 1:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>very large audiences. So if you're someone who wants to

1:02:11.240 --> 1:02:13.720
<v Speaker 1>get as many people to pay attention to you as possible,

1:02:13.760 --> 1:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and you're not too picky about how it gets done,

1:02:16.200 --> 1:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>it's a very strong temptation to go out there and

1:02:18.440 --> 1:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>engage in this kind of emotion. Heart first, facts be damned,

1:02:22.960 --> 1:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>ad hominem. I mean the discourse, which is really why

1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you see only that on social media. And I think

1:02:28.840 --> 1:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that you're right that some of the major media organizations

1:02:31.920 --> 1:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>in New York Times, some of the other newspapers have

1:02:35.200 --> 1:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>grown I think a little envious of that and adopted

1:02:37.840 --> 1:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>some of that tone, which is why you have such

1:02:39.640 --> 1:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a bad op ed page, for instance, the New York Times,

1:02:41.960 --> 1:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and such a bad auth ed page, and a lot

1:02:43.440 --> 1:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>of other newspapers where they really want to try to

1:02:47.480 --> 1:02:49.880
<v Speaker 1>vampire off that same energy. I don't think it really

1:02:49.920 --> 1:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>works for him, because if you're Paul Krugman, you still

1:02:52.040 --> 1:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>got to write a seven hundred work column. You can't

1:02:53.840 --> 1:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>just tweet something, and it's a different kind of feel

1:02:56.840 --> 1:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>as a different kind of format. Well, and also you're

1:02:59.440 --> 1:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>somebody that that dealt with the the insanity of this

1:03:02.360 --> 1:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>yourself and in a very particular way at somebody who

1:03:05.720 --> 1:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>was hired by the Atlantic, and then do we let

1:03:10.080 --> 1:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>let go or consciously uncoupled or however it went from

1:03:13.120 --> 1:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the Atlantic because really they're they're they're little emotionally fragile

1:03:18.040 --> 1:03:22.000
<v Speaker 1>readership freaked out. I think that's an honest assessment of

1:03:22.040 --> 1:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>what happened. You know, there's an interesting thing about that,

1:03:24.560 --> 1:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>And partly it was that, But these things are always

1:03:27.280 --> 1:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>a little more complicated than that. And it wasn't really

1:03:29.920 --> 1:03:33.440
<v Speaker 1>so much the social media campaign that got me fired

1:03:33.440 --> 1:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>over there, that was kind of a pretext. It was

1:03:35.320 --> 1:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>really an internal staff thing. And here's I'll have a

1:03:37.920 --> 1:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>little piece an excerpt from the book in the New

1:03:39.440 --> 1:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>York Post this weekend that it gets into some of

1:03:42.560 --> 1:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>this the purpose of these mob campaigns. It's not just

1:03:47.280 --> 1:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to get people like me fired. It's to bend these

1:03:50.400 --> 1:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>institutions to the will of these left coming idea looks.

1:03:54.440 --> 1:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And so you know, there's nothing you accomplished by it

1:03:57.600 --> 1:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to be fired from the Atlantic. Right. So I'm a

1:03:59.280 --> 1:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>professional writer. I get started by the Atlantic. I wrote

1:04:01.240 --> 1:04:03.200
<v Speaker 1>an essay about in the Wall Street journalist goes on,

1:04:03.960 --> 1:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just change venues. But if you are

1:04:06.480 --> 1:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>someone who's a Starbucks manager in Philadelphia, or a programmer

1:04:09.640 --> 1:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>at Google, or someone else who's not involved in the

1:04:12.640 --> 1:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>politics and writing and controversy business, you see these people

1:04:16.440 --> 1:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>being made examples of around you, and you'll learn from

1:04:18.920 --> 1:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>those examples and you never say anything that's non conforming

1:04:22.680 --> 1:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>or non approved to start with. And that's what this

1:04:25.320 --> 1:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>is really all about. You know, getting James to More

1:04:27.760 --> 1:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>fired at Google wasn't about this, you know, pinhead monkey

1:04:31.120 --> 1:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>James to More that no one really cares about all

1:04:33.040 --> 1:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that much. It's about the mobs thing. Look, we can

1:04:35.520 --> 1:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>make Google do what we want, and that's the important

1:04:38.600 --> 1:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>takeaway from it. What would you like to see change

1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>in this whole phenomena? I mean, I actually saw last

1:04:44.960 --> 1:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>night Josh Holly, who is very involved now in the

1:04:49.920 --> 1:04:54.320
<v Speaker 1>social media bias that exists. What are conservatives supposed to

1:04:54.360 --> 1:04:56.440
<v Speaker 1>do now? I mean, because it's clearly biased and as

1:04:56.480 --> 1:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>you point out, there's yeah, well there there are a

1:05:00.240 --> 1:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of things, and not as conservatives, but as citizens.

1:05:03.320 --> 1:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>One is to understand what you're going to social media

1:05:06.000 --> 1:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>for and what it's there to do, and I think

1:05:08.640 --> 1:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that if you understand what it actually is, you probably

1:05:12.760 --> 1:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>might want to tend to use it less because it's

1:05:14.640 --> 1:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of embarrassing thing to be involved in some ways.

1:05:16.880 --> 1:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, some writers instead use it from marketing, and

1:05:19.320 --> 1:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>some other people use it from marketing, and that's great,

1:05:21.240 --> 1:05:24.520
<v Speaker 1>but really it's not a very effective way to communicate

1:05:24.520 --> 1:05:27.280
<v Speaker 1>if you have any sort of substantive ideas. So I

1:05:27.360 --> 1:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>think that while you want to be involved in all

1:05:30.400 --> 1:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>forms and all media to the extent that you can,

1:05:32.480 --> 1:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>conservatives should moderate our hopes for what can be accomplished

1:05:36.000 --> 1:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>through things like social media simply because their ideas are

1:05:38.680 --> 1:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>a little more complex. And you know, we need people

1:05:41.400 --> 1:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>who understand things like supply and demand and why prices

1:05:44.480 --> 1:05:47.400
<v Speaker 1>work the way they work in the constitution, which you're

1:05:47.440 --> 1:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>not going to get from tweets, not how it's going

1:05:49.120 --> 1:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to happen. So you play in that field if you

1:05:51.760 --> 1:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>need to play in that sandbox, if you think it's

1:05:53.760 --> 1:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>useful to you culturally or from a publicity point of view.

1:05:57.720 --> 1:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>But I wouldn't have real high hopes for or moving

1:06:01.040 --> 1:06:04.720
<v Speaker 1>any sort of substantive intellectual content through it. We're speaking

1:06:04.720 --> 1:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>of Kevin Williamson Roving correspondent from National Review, author of

1:06:07.720 --> 1:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the new book The Smallest Minority, Independent Thinking in the

1:06:11.400 --> 1:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Age of Mob Politics. I mean, I will say this, Kevin.

1:06:14.680 --> 1:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I've noticed that social media is a very it's the

1:06:19.800 --> 1:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>immediate feedback mechanisms of it in political discourse can be

1:06:23.880 --> 1:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>interesting insofar as you see that pushing for one team

1:06:29.880 --> 1:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>is the single most effective thing, or trashing the other

1:06:32.720 --> 1:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>team that's the single most effective thing you can do

1:06:35.360 --> 1:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>trying to have any any interesting exchange of ideas or

1:06:39.840 --> 1:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>god forbid, say that something about the other side's approach

1:06:44.200 --> 1:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to an issue or idea might be worth examining, perhaps

1:06:47.840 --> 1:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>even appropriating. That gets not just ignored but shouted down.

1:06:53.360 --> 1:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>People get angry about this. That nuance effectively is suspect. Yeah. Remember,

1:06:58.280 --> 1:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>it's always far worse to be aherretic in an anf

1:07:00.400 --> 1:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>adelt right. It's always the people on your own side,

1:07:02.960 --> 1:07:04.800
<v Speaker 1>if you disagree with them a little bit, who will

1:07:04.840 --> 1:07:09.280
<v Speaker 1>always be the most energetic in coming after you. For instance,

1:07:09.280 --> 1:07:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I've i write this article probably every six months that

1:07:12.320 --> 1:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Republicans need to get over the idea that tax cuts

1:07:14.280 --> 1:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>pay for themselves. I really just don't know. There's not

1:07:16.000 --> 1:07:18.760
<v Speaker 1>any good evidence that they do, and every time I

1:07:18.760 --> 1:07:21.000
<v Speaker 1>write that, there's just this new one normal freak out.

1:07:21.000 --> 1:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And it's not so much about the contents, it's about

1:07:23.720 --> 1:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>aren't you supposed to be on our side? Oh? Why

1:07:26.480 --> 1:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>won't you go along with the game? Or wrote this

1:07:28.640 --> 1:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>thing earlier in the week or last week about the

1:07:31.400 --> 1:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>sender her own stuff and eleanor Mer. Not that I'm

1:07:33.920 --> 1:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>a fan of Eleanor Lmer, but it's sort of a

1:07:36.440 --> 1:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's an ugly thing to do, and there's

1:07:38.400 --> 1:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>some legitimate criticism there, I think to make. And the

1:07:41.760 --> 1:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>woundedness of the responses to that is we're supposed to

1:07:45.600 --> 1:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>hate her. Why can't you hate her with us? We

1:07:47.880 --> 1:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>hate I just hate her better than you do, for

1:07:49.280 --> 1:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>better reasons, Yeah, I have to say. I mean, this

1:07:52.320 --> 1:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>is why it's it's so hard right now to find

1:07:54.440 --> 1:07:59.640
<v Speaker 1>even legitimate debate on television. One of my complaints is

1:07:59.640 --> 1:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that anywhere you go that's supposed to be a political

1:08:02.880 --> 1:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>exchange of ideas in a media forum is overwhelmingly the

1:08:07.080 --> 1:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>old WWF model of here's Hulk Hogan and here's the

1:08:11.520 --> 1:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>jobber who's wearing a little Neon mankini and no one's

1:08:15.200 --> 1:08:17.679
<v Speaker 1>ever heard of before the guy looks like he could

1:08:17.800 --> 1:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>bench press about seventy five pounds, and he's going to

1:08:20.360 --> 1:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>get crushed. That's what if you see on TV, just

1:08:22.920 --> 1:08:26.639
<v Speaker 1>in different versions of different venues. Yeah, you know, Margaret

1:08:26.640 --> 1:08:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Hoover has recently turned to rest a firing Line, which

1:08:30.240 --> 1:08:32.519
<v Speaker 1>is the title that's very important to us over here

1:08:32.520 --> 1:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>at National Review. But you can't imagine trying to put

1:08:36.080 --> 1:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the original firing Line, which is two hours long of

1:08:39.000 --> 1:08:41.679
<v Speaker 1>two guys having a serious conversation on the area's even

1:08:41.720 --> 1:08:45.680
<v Speaker 1>on PBS, you know, even on NPR or something like that.

1:08:46.120 --> 1:08:48.599
<v Speaker 1>So the culture I think has changed in a way

1:08:48.880 --> 1:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>that makes it very difficult to have those sorts of conversations.

1:08:52.720 --> 1:08:55.719
<v Speaker 1>But the other thing is that people involved in my business,

1:08:55.800 --> 1:08:58.479
<v Speaker 1>people who are writers, people who want to talk about

1:08:58.520 --> 1:09:02.519
<v Speaker 1>more serious issues, are really guilty of the original sin

1:09:02.600 --> 1:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>of American intellectuals, which is too want to be popular

1:09:05.600 --> 1:09:08.519
<v Speaker 1>in that way. You know, if you are Paul Krugman,

1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>having a Nobel prize is not enough. You want to

1:09:10.920 --> 1:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>be celebrated and to lead people and to speak for

1:09:14.080 --> 1:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>them and to act as attribute for them the way

1:09:15.720 --> 1:09:18.160
<v Speaker 1>a politician does. And there are a lot of people,

1:09:18.160 --> 1:09:20.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is a particular problem for conservative talk

1:09:20.640 --> 1:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>show hosts who are essentially campaign managers for Republican campaigns

1:09:26.200 --> 1:09:28.640
<v Speaker 1>and who are so closely and so tightly identified with

1:09:28.680 --> 1:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the politics that they can't afford to engage in an

1:09:32.200 --> 1:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>honest conversation. And that's a real problem. Is there any

1:09:36.479 --> 1:09:39.320
<v Speaker 1>ray of hope you offer us in the smallest minority, Kevin,

1:09:39.520 --> 1:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>or is the minority just going to get smaller? One

1:09:42.360 --> 1:09:45.640
<v Speaker 1>is the people eventually learn to hold in contempt that

1:09:45.680 --> 1:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>which is contemptible, and this is contemptible, and people eventually learned.

1:09:48.640 --> 1:09:50.519
<v Speaker 1>But the other thing is that a lot of what's

1:09:50.600 --> 1:09:54.479
<v Speaker 1>driving this hysteria right now on social media is boredom,

1:09:54.640 --> 1:09:58.479
<v Speaker 1>and it's being used as entertainment, and it's entertainment value

1:09:58.560 --> 1:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>is not going to last forever. We will move on

1:10:00.680 --> 1:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>to the next thing. You know, there used to be

1:10:02.560 --> 1:10:04.759
<v Speaker 1>a time in the history when people got hysterical about

1:10:05.040 --> 1:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>sports rivalries. Here times in the history where people had

1:10:08.280 --> 1:10:10.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, there was a riot apparently after the writer

1:10:10.600 --> 1:10:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Spring was first performed because people cared about series of

1:10:13.040 --> 1:10:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the count of us Stravinsky reference. Look at you, yeah,

1:10:16.240 --> 1:10:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Ostravinsky refinence right there. You know, we're pretty high minded

1:10:18.800 --> 1:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>over here, and I think that eventually people's interests move

1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>on from this and they go onto something else, and

1:10:26.000 --> 1:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>we're having these silly conversations about I don't know, Batman

1:10:29.439 --> 1:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>movies or something. Well, Kevin Williamson is one of the

1:10:31.920 --> 1:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>best writers on the scene, folks. So I say, you

1:10:33.720 --> 1:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>give the smallest minority independent thinking in the age of

1:10:36.840 --> 1:10:39.639
<v Speaker 1>mob politics a shot. I'm gonna do the same, Kevin.

1:10:39.680 --> 1:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. Appreciate you making the time and

1:10:41.240 --> 1:10:43.559
<v Speaker 1>good luck on the book. Thank you, Buck. I appreciate

1:10:43.600 --> 1:10:46.040
<v Speaker 1>it all. Right, team, we got more coming up in

1:10:46.080 --> 1:10:49.120
<v Speaker 1>a big hour three in facts making social media and

1:10:49.200 --> 1:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>the bias they're in. We've got some new project Veritas

1:10:52.680 --> 1:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Audio to share with you. Stick around for that. Senior

1:10:54.920 --> 1:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Selfare Engineerfrengineer. My name is Greg Coopola. I'm a senior

1:10:58.160 --> 1:11:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Selfare Engineer. I work on artific intelligence and the Google Assistant. Yeah,

1:11:02.400 --> 1:11:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean overall, I'm very concerned to see big tech

1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>and the big media merge basically with a political party,

1:11:13.000 --> 1:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>with the Democrat Party. And I have a PhD. I

1:11:14.920 --> 1:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>have five years of experience at Google, and I just

1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>know how algorithms are. They don't write themselves, We write

1:11:21.400 --> 1:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>them to do we want them to do. I look

1:11:22.880 --> 1:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>at Search, and I look at Google News, and I

1:11:26.280 --> 1:11:30.760
<v Speaker 1>see what it's doing, and I see Google executives go

1:11:30.760 --> 1:11:33.519
<v Speaker 1>to Congress and say that it's not manipulated, it's not political,

1:11:34.160 --> 1:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just so sure that's not true. I think

1:11:36.960 --> 1:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>as the election started to ramp up, of the angle

1:11:39.720 --> 1:11:43.799
<v Speaker 1>that the Democrats and the media took was that anyone

1:11:43.800 --> 1:11:46.920
<v Speaker 1>who liked Donald Trump was a racist, even in Nazi

1:11:47.760 --> 1:11:50.639
<v Speaker 1>and I got picked up everywhere. Well, I think we're

1:11:50.680 --> 1:11:54.720
<v Speaker 1>just at a really important point in human history. I

1:11:54.760 --> 1:11:58.559
<v Speaker 1>think for a while we had tech that was politically neutral.

1:11:58.960 --> 1:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Now we have tech that really, first of all, is

1:12:03.600 --> 1:12:09.599
<v Speaker 1>taking sides in a political contest. So that's a Google

1:12:09.720 --> 1:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>engineer hat tip to a project very tass for giving

1:12:14.360 --> 1:12:16.879
<v Speaker 1>for having the audio up here and getting this interview

1:12:17.320 --> 1:12:22.799
<v Speaker 1>done with this a senior Google engineer who is saying

1:12:23.120 --> 1:12:25.479
<v Speaker 1>much of what I've been telling you here on the show.

1:12:25.680 --> 1:12:29.519
<v Speaker 1>And I hear from people that I know in Silicon Valley,

1:12:29.640 --> 1:12:31.679
<v Speaker 1>people that I know who work in the tech space.

1:12:32.479 --> 1:12:34.680
<v Speaker 1>And one part of this that I do believe is

1:12:35.120 --> 1:12:39.680
<v Speaker 1>important to keep to keep in the mix is that

1:12:39.760 --> 1:12:43.120
<v Speaker 1>one reason why Republicans and people voted for Trump. Can't

1:12:43.120 --> 1:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>get that energized over the very, very ineffectual and minimal

1:12:50.280 --> 1:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>in the grand scheme of things, Russian interference in the election.

1:12:56.360 --> 1:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>When our main communication systems now the primary methods of

1:13:01.760 --> 1:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>day to day communication for most of us in the

1:13:04.160 --> 1:13:06.960
<v Speaker 1>political sphere, the digital world, this is where most news

1:13:07.040 --> 1:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>is happening, most communication is going on, are effectively subsidiaries

1:13:13.920 --> 1:13:17.719
<v Speaker 1>of the Democratic Party, but pretend to be neutral. It'd

1:13:17.720 --> 1:13:20.719
<v Speaker 1>be one thing if Google said Google is all about

1:13:20.800 --> 1:13:23.599
<v Speaker 1>pushing left wing ideas in a left wing agenda. At

1:13:23.680 --> 1:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>least then I could I could say, all right, there's

1:13:27.280 --> 1:13:29.320
<v Speaker 1>an honesty to that, and you can either use their

1:13:29.360 --> 1:13:31.599
<v Speaker 1>products or not. You can either accept what they say

1:13:31.680 --> 1:13:33.880
<v Speaker 1>or not. But what Google and these other companies have

1:13:33.960 --> 1:13:39.479
<v Speaker 1>been saying four years, Google, Facebook, Twitter, And I actually

1:13:39.520 --> 1:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>think that Jack Dorsey's not quite as I don't think

1:13:44.280 --> 1:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>that he's as much of the problem. It's just the

1:13:46.320 --> 1:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>rest of the company. These entire corporate cultures are full

1:13:50.160 --> 1:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>of these left wing evangelist types, these these left wing zealots.

1:13:56.479 --> 1:14:00.639
<v Speaker 1>But they've been telling us for years. Their publicition has

1:14:00.680 --> 1:14:04.439
<v Speaker 1>been that they do not have political bias, they do

1:14:04.520 --> 1:14:08.680
<v Speaker 1>not take political positions on any of this, and that

1:14:08.760 --> 1:14:13.040
<v Speaker 1>they are just really trying to regulate safety and give

1:14:13.080 --> 1:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>the best products. Think that's a lie. They're lying to us.

1:14:17.080 --> 1:14:22.800
<v Speaker 1>They've been lying to us systematically for years. Think about

1:14:22.840 --> 1:14:24.680
<v Speaker 1>what an effect that has. I mean, I've heard I

1:14:24.680 --> 1:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>can't remember where it was, but that there was about

1:14:26.920 --> 1:14:30.479
<v Speaker 1>a at least as early as or as recently as

1:14:30.520 --> 1:14:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the two thousands, the Democrats media advantage was guessed to

1:14:36.680 --> 1:14:42.639
<v Speaker 1>be about a ten point polling advantage for them overall,

1:14:42.720 --> 1:14:46.840
<v Speaker 1>meaning that if we if we had a truly nonpartisan

1:14:47.600 --> 1:14:51.519
<v Speaker 1>journalist cadre in America, if it really was the case

1:14:51.520 --> 1:14:54.040
<v Speaker 1>that journalist we're not on pushing for one side, a

1:14:54.080 --> 1:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of Democrats would lose so badly that they would

1:14:59.800 --> 1:15:03.599
<v Speaker 1>know longer even be competitive in races that are considered

1:15:03.640 --> 1:15:06.759
<v Speaker 1>now to be either close or slightly leaning toward the Democrats.

1:15:06.800 --> 1:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's worth like five or ten percentage points

1:15:09.479 --> 1:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>in major, certainly national level political races, because what do

1:15:14.680 --> 1:15:16.759
<v Speaker 1>you do, how do you know about any of these people?

1:15:17.080 --> 1:15:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And think about this when when you want to know about, oh,

1:15:19.439 --> 1:15:22.719
<v Speaker 1>who's this politician? Maybe you watch it on TV? Okay,

1:15:22.760 --> 1:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>but how much of that do you really see on

1:15:24.080 --> 1:15:26.360
<v Speaker 1>any given day, how much does any one politician come up?

1:15:26.800 --> 1:15:29.920
<v Speaker 1>But when you do a Google search on somebody, you know,

1:15:29.960 --> 1:15:33.519
<v Speaker 1>if you do a Google search on Donald Trump or

1:15:33.600 --> 1:15:36.960
<v Speaker 1>on Josh Holly, whom I actually met for the first

1:15:37.000 --> 1:15:39.679
<v Speaker 1>time last night over at Fox. If you look for

1:15:39.720 --> 1:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>one of these individuals, the information that pops up initially

1:15:43.560 --> 1:15:47.679
<v Speaker 1>on them is what you're overwhelmingly going to read. And

1:15:47.720 --> 1:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>whoever determines what that what that first spate of articles

1:15:54.479 --> 1:15:57.800
<v Speaker 1>may be that person, has tremendous influence on your perceptions

1:15:57.800 --> 1:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of that individual. This is this is a really big deal.

1:16:01.960 --> 1:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>And I do think that there's some somewhat of a

1:16:04.280 --> 1:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>disconnect because the left is more tech leaning than the

1:16:11.200 --> 1:16:15.240
<v Speaker 1>right generally. I just this is why Silicon Valley is

1:16:15.240 --> 1:16:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a very far left place. Why. It's an interesting discussion

1:16:19.040 --> 1:16:23.120
<v Speaker 1>in and of itself, But I think it's because one

1:16:23.200 --> 1:16:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you are, well, it's it's a little bit like universities,

1:16:25.800 --> 1:16:28.479
<v Speaker 1>and there's a self selection that goes on. All you

1:16:28.560 --> 1:16:33.839
<v Speaker 1>need is, you know, some proportion of a web company,

1:16:33.840 --> 1:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>an internet company, to have some libs, and then they're

1:16:36.760 --> 1:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>going to just bring in more libs and then push

1:16:39.080 --> 1:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>out the rest of the nonlibs and all of a

1:16:41.120 --> 1:16:45.759
<v Speaker 1>sudden you have a political monoculture, as James Daymore called

1:16:45.760 --> 1:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it at Google. But this this is a huge issue,

1:16:50.120 --> 1:16:53.720
<v Speaker 1>and I think that those who believe because I was

1:16:53.760 --> 1:16:55.920
<v Speaker 1>asked about this on on Brett bear Show on Fox

1:16:56.040 --> 1:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>last night, or Brett brought up these investigations to the

1:17:00.280 --> 1:17:04.360
<v Speaker 1>different the different social media giants whether or not their monopolies,

1:17:04.400 --> 1:17:06.200
<v Speaker 1>whether they need to be broken up or not. I

1:17:06.240 --> 1:17:09.439
<v Speaker 1>think the answer is quite obviously yes, they do need

1:17:10.280 --> 1:17:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to be looked at, and I think they probably should

1:17:13.600 --> 1:17:17.680
<v Speaker 1>be broken up. I think that it is a it

1:17:17.800 --> 1:17:21.599
<v Speaker 1>is a monopoly situation with Google. These companies in many

1:17:21.600 --> 1:17:26.120
<v Speaker 1>ways are more powerful than any other company that came before.

1:17:26.160 --> 1:17:28.240
<v Speaker 1>They be said, oh Buck, Standard Oil and everything. I mean,

1:17:28.360 --> 1:17:30.559
<v Speaker 1>does Standard Oil still have a monopoly? Folks? Does anyone

1:17:30.560 --> 1:17:33.360
<v Speaker 1>think that Standard oil is still going to be it

1:17:33.439 --> 1:17:37.639
<v Speaker 1>was still going to be the powerhouse in the fossil

1:17:37.880 --> 1:17:41.240
<v Speaker 1>of course, in global competition everything else. Google has the

1:17:41.240 --> 1:17:45.080
<v Speaker 1>ability right now to completely squelch any other company. To

1:17:45.160 --> 1:17:48.439
<v Speaker 1>determine what companies can get ad revenue for their business

1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>can affect in shape perceptions in ways that look it's

1:17:53.800 --> 1:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a replacement for what the traditional media ecosystem in

1:17:58.080 --> 1:18:00.479
<v Speaker 1>this country was which would take us back to the

1:18:00.520 --> 1:18:04.479
<v Speaker 1>Walter Cronkite days. Oh, Walter Cronkite's you know what was

1:18:04.520 --> 1:18:06.880
<v Speaker 1>he the all the you know what's the and that's

1:18:06.960 --> 1:18:09.200
<v Speaker 1>the way it is, right as the Cronkite. I don't know,

1:18:09.200 --> 1:18:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I was too I'm too young for that stuff. But

1:18:12.439 --> 1:18:14.960
<v Speaker 1>they used to be able to convince people, the mainstream

1:18:15.000 --> 1:18:17.599
<v Speaker 1>media convinced people that they were just telling the facts,

1:18:17.600 --> 1:18:20.360
<v Speaker 1>they had no bias. That was a lie. Always the

1:18:20.439 --> 1:18:23.160
<v Speaker 1>media has always leaned left. We know the media leans left.

1:18:23.360 --> 1:18:26.880
<v Speaker 1>It was never true. It was never obviously the case,

1:18:28.000 --> 1:18:30.479
<v Speaker 1>or it was rather obviously the case. The media had

1:18:30.479 --> 1:18:34.599
<v Speaker 1>a political agenda, but they've always pretended that that's not

1:18:34.640 --> 1:18:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the case. So I mean, here we are now, this

1:18:36.520 --> 1:18:39.360
<v Speaker 1>this is the new mainstream media, folks, And I do

1:18:39.439 --> 1:18:42.160
<v Speaker 1>think that they need to be they need to be

1:18:42.200 --> 1:18:44.840
<v Speaker 1>looked at. And you know, why is it that if

1:18:44.840 --> 1:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>someone explained to me why Sinclair Media, for example, can

1:18:47.960 --> 1:18:53.160
<v Speaker 1>engage in a voluntary transaction of a merger with Tribune

1:18:53.200 --> 1:18:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Media without the FCC and all the stuff getting involved.

1:18:56.640 --> 1:18:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh but but Google can do whatever the heck it wants.

1:18:59.360 --> 1:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, face what can do whatever it wants, TV

1:19:02.360 --> 1:19:05.800
<v Speaker 1>and radio have all these stupid rules in place that

1:19:05.920 --> 1:19:08.599
<v Speaker 1>we know favor the incumbents, and the incumbents are almost

1:19:08.640 --> 1:19:12.040
<v Speaker 1>all Libs. Oh but the Internet, now that it's lib dominated,

1:19:12.120 --> 1:19:15.080
<v Speaker 1>no rules for them. No, sorry, I don't think so.

1:19:15.200 --> 1:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>You're a publisher, or you're a platform. Pick Google. One

1:19:18.320 --> 1:19:20.719
<v Speaker 1>of our major themes here on The Buck Saxton Show

1:19:20.840 --> 1:19:23.800
<v Speaker 1>is that there are a lot of crazy libs out there,

1:19:24.400 --> 1:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>or maybe a better way of putting it is that

1:19:26.880 --> 1:19:31.880
<v Speaker 1>libs are kind of crazy, that their ideology has jumped

1:19:31.920 --> 1:19:35.599
<v Speaker 1>the shark, that they they've lost they've lost touch with reality.

1:19:35.600 --> 1:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>They they've gone quite a bit nutso and with that,

1:19:41.439 --> 1:19:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I turn you to this obsession they have that is

1:19:45.760 --> 1:19:49.400
<v Speaker 1>sure to be a political loser, is not based on

1:19:49.439 --> 1:19:56.479
<v Speaker 1>the science, and it's just an American darn it, getting

1:19:56.560 --> 1:20:00.439
<v Speaker 1>us to stop eating meat. This was a story recently

1:20:00.520 --> 1:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>on CNN the Communews Network to help save the planet,

1:20:05.320 --> 1:20:09.280
<v Speaker 1>cut back to a hamburger and a half per week.

1:20:10.479 --> 1:20:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean a hamburger and a half. That is not

1:20:13.360 --> 1:20:16.200
<v Speaker 1>nearly enough. First of all, I'm sure that they do

1:20:16.240 --> 1:20:18.120
<v Speaker 1>that whole whimpy thing and Mark you know what I'm

1:20:18.120 --> 1:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about where they say that your protein intake is

1:20:21.880 --> 1:20:24.679
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be about the size of a deck of cards.

1:20:25.439 --> 1:20:27.600
<v Speaker 1>That's no one eats a hamburger that's the size of

1:20:27.600 --> 1:20:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a deck of cards. Maybe four decks of cards. If

1:20:31.040 --> 1:20:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you're at Whitecastle, you can do that, but then you

1:20:33.040 --> 1:20:35.320
<v Speaker 1>eat like ten of them. Well, yeah, exactly right. And

1:20:35.400 --> 1:20:37.880
<v Speaker 1>so if I eat ten decks of cards worth of meat,

1:20:38.400 --> 1:20:41.320
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of the same thing. But the libs are

1:20:41.320 --> 1:20:44.599
<v Speaker 1>obsessed with this, you know. Ultimately, I think they really

1:20:44.640 --> 1:20:49.120
<v Speaker 1>just do want to control people. That they want to

1:20:49.160 --> 1:20:50.880
<v Speaker 1>be in a position to tell you what to do

1:20:50.960 --> 1:20:54.000
<v Speaker 1>because they know better than you. That's really the purpose

1:20:54.040 --> 1:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>of this. But here's the story in scene, and Americas

1:20:56.240 --> 1:20:58.599
<v Speaker 1>will need to cut their average consumption of beef by

1:20:58.640 --> 1:21:03.799
<v Speaker 1>about forty percent and Europeans by twenty two percent because

1:21:03.800 --> 1:21:06.040
<v Speaker 1>we are European and we don't eat as much of

1:21:06.040 --> 1:21:08.479
<v Speaker 1>as a red meat because we have so much bread

1:21:08.520 --> 1:21:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and breathe and vary us fromage. Really, neither're gonna stinky

1:21:15.200 --> 1:21:17.000
<v Speaker 1>cheese us like that, by the way. I mean, I'm

1:21:17.000 --> 1:21:20.559
<v Speaker 1>sure stinky cheese is probably bad for your arteries. For

1:21:20.600 --> 1:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the world to continue to feed the ten billion people

1:21:22.840 --> 1:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>expect to live on this planet, in twenty fifty, according

1:21:25.240 --> 1:21:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to a new report from the World Resources Institute. I

1:21:29.680 --> 1:21:32.200
<v Speaker 1>bet there's a lot of tofu served at their Christmas party,

1:21:32.479 --> 1:21:37.439
<v Speaker 1>which would obviously be called a holiday party, and they're

1:21:37.479 --> 1:21:39.920
<v Speaker 1>saying that it's creating the We need to create a

1:21:39.960 --> 1:21:46.519
<v Speaker 1>sustainable food future, and eating less beef is only one

1:21:46.640 --> 1:21:50.120
<v Speaker 1>suggestion in the five hundred and sixty eight page report.

1:21:50.479 --> 1:21:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Is what they say, nine point eight nine point eight

1:21:53.400 --> 1:21:55.639
<v Speaker 1>billion people will live on the planet by twenty fifty.

1:21:55.640 --> 1:21:59.559
<v Speaker 1>That's up from seven billion in twenty ten. Demand for

1:21:59.640 --> 1:22:03.880
<v Speaker 1>food it is projected to outpaced population growth, increasing by

1:22:03.880 --> 1:22:07.599
<v Speaker 1>more than fifty percent as people's incomes in the developing

1:22:07.600 --> 1:22:11.880
<v Speaker 1>world are expected to increase. According to the report, the

1:22:11.960 --> 1:22:15.040
<v Speaker 1>demand for meat and dairy is expected to rise even

1:22:15.120 --> 1:22:19.360
<v Speaker 1>faster by seventy percent. The global demand for ruminant meat,

1:22:19.760 --> 1:22:24.320
<v Speaker 1>meaning beef, sheep, and goat, is expected to be even

1:22:24.400 --> 1:22:28.439
<v Speaker 1>higher at eighty eight percent. First of all, goat, when

1:22:28.479 --> 1:22:32.160
<v Speaker 1>well prepared, can be pretty good. I've probably eaten more

1:22:32.280 --> 1:22:36.160
<v Speaker 1>goat than mutton. Even though people think of goat, I

1:22:36.160 --> 1:22:40.800
<v Speaker 1>think is a little bit more of a rarity. And

1:22:41.520 --> 1:22:43.559
<v Speaker 1>ruminant meat. I'd never heard that before. I kind of

1:22:43.600 --> 1:22:46.680
<v Speaker 1>like that Okay, So here's where this is another example

1:22:46.720 --> 1:22:50.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Libs being crazy. What's the soul what of

1:22:50.200 --> 1:22:52.720
<v Speaker 1>all this other than the fact that telling people not

1:22:52.800 --> 1:22:57.160
<v Speaker 1>to eat meat is a political loser. But on climate change,

1:22:56.920 --> 1:23:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats would rather be political losers, meaning that they're

1:23:01.200 --> 1:23:05.680
<v Speaker 1>willing to sacrifice some degree of short term power in

1:23:05.720 --> 1:23:08.799
<v Speaker 1>the hopes that they can propagandize this. They can frighten

1:23:08.960 --> 1:23:13.240
<v Speaker 1>enough people, and once they've frightened all of those people

1:23:14.200 --> 1:23:16.920
<v Speaker 1>to get to vote, so they'll vote for them and

1:23:16.960 --> 1:23:19.640
<v Speaker 1>give them the power to come back climate change. Then

1:23:19.640 --> 1:23:22.519
<v Speaker 1>they can worry about all the rest of it. Then

1:23:22.640 --> 1:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>we can be in some place where they have total control.

1:23:26.360 --> 1:23:29.880
<v Speaker 1>But telling people not to eat meat as a political loser,

1:23:30.960 --> 1:23:33.920
<v Speaker 1>you know what else is a loser in general? Not

1:23:34.120 --> 1:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>knowing history. See, there was this fellow Mouthis who in

1:23:38.320 --> 1:23:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the nineteenth century was sure that we were going to

1:23:42.280 --> 1:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>run out of food and that there would be Now

1:23:45.120 --> 1:23:47.439
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be, and we wouldn't run out of food

1:23:47.800 --> 1:23:50.000
<v Speaker 1>in the sense that there would be no food, but

1:23:50.080 --> 1:23:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that our ability to produce enough food to sustain the

1:23:54.400 --> 1:23:59.880
<v Speaker 1>growing global population would be so threatened and so insuff

1:24:00.200 --> 1:24:03.799
<v Speaker 1>that there would eventually be mass starvation and die off,

1:24:04.000 --> 1:24:08.759
<v Speaker 1>or limitations depending on if there was disruptions to existing

1:24:08.760 --> 1:24:13.200
<v Speaker 1>food supply or limitations on global population growth because we

1:24:13.240 --> 1:24:18.479
<v Speaker 1>simply can't produce enough food to feed all of these people. Well,

1:24:18.720 --> 1:24:24.320
<v Speaker 1>it turns out that that was complete and utter unscientific nonsense.

1:24:24.760 --> 1:24:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Why was it nonsense? Oh, that's right, because what we

1:24:28.320 --> 1:24:32.479
<v Speaker 1>now know is that technology, involving a lot of fossil fuels,

1:24:32.520 --> 1:24:35.799
<v Speaker 1>by the way, has made it so much more efficient,

1:24:35.880 --> 1:24:40.599
<v Speaker 1>so much easier to produce food, and to refrigerate food,

1:24:40.720 --> 1:24:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and to move it around, and to have higher crop

1:24:43.400 --> 1:24:47.639
<v Speaker 1>yields and all of these wonderful things. Libs never learned

1:24:47.680 --> 1:24:50.400
<v Speaker 1>their history, though, because now we're at a point where

1:24:50.439 --> 1:24:54.120
<v Speaker 1>global population growth is exploding, life expectancy is longer than

1:24:54.160 --> 1:24:58.719
<v Speaker 1>ever before, and we have to worry constantly about too

1:24:58.840 --> 1:25:04.080
<v Speaker 1>much food. Too much food is a much greater global

1:25:04.200 --> 1:25:09.000
<v Speaker 1>health risk than too little food, obesity, heart disease, type

1:25:09.000 --> 1:25:11.720
<v Speaker 1>two diabetes. What we really should be concerned about is

1:25:11.720 --> 1:25:14.599
<v Speaker 1>how we all convince our bodies, because look, there's been

1:25:14.600 --> 1:25:16.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of engineering of this too. It is true

1:25:17.240 --> 1:25:22.240
<v Speaker 1>that companies jamming food with all this sugar and which

1:25:22.360 --> 1:25:25.880
<v Speaker 1>which does become addictive and it is addictive. This is

1:25:26.479 --> 1:25:28.599
<v Speaker 1>a form of slow poisoning of all of us. Right,

1:25:28.640 --> 1:25:31.519
<v Speaker 1>we've there was a time when if you could get

1:25:31.520 --> 1:25:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of sugar, that would be a good thing.

1:25:34.800 --> 1:25:37.360
<v Speaker 1>But we're we're well beyond that time now because there's

1:25:37.400 --> 1:25:41.360
<v Speaker 1>sugar in everything. It's all over the place. It's in ketchup,

1:25:41.400 --> 1:25:45.360
<v Speaker 1>it's in salad dressing, it's in cereals. It's everywhere, right,

1:25:45.360 --> 1:25:49.439
<v Speaker 1>it's everywhere you turn. And we're going to have more

1:25:49.479 --> 1:25:54.559
<v Speaker 1>advanced technology than we've had in the next ten years,

1:25:54.560 --> 1:25:58.760
<v Speaker 1>the next twenty years. They're already creating beef that is

1:25:58.800 --> 1:26:03.240
<v Speaker 1>in beef, but they say a similar caloric density, nutrient density,

1:26:03.400 --> 1:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and is much more sustainable. I've eaten some of this,

1:26:06.720 --> 1:26:09.519
<v Speaker 1>by the way, Mark, I'll be honest, Beyond meats pretty good.

1:26:09.560 --> 1:26:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I said that on the show. It's pretty good.

1:26:11.400 --> 1:26:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember you saying that. Oh yeah, it's actually

1:26:13.320 --> 1:26:15.280
<v Speaker 1>oh okay, maybe I just tweeted about it. But I

1:26:15.320 --> 1:26:18.639
<v Speaker 1>had a Beyond Meat burger. It is gluten free, and

1:26:18.720 --> 1:26:20.439
<v Speaker 1>it was it was pretty tasty, you know. I mean,

1:26:20.520 --> 1:26:24.320
<v Speaker 1>obviously you don't just go with it, oh natural raal right,

1:26:24.360 --> 1:26:26.479
<v Speaker 1>you don't just have a naked beyond meat burger. You

1:26:26.520 --> 1:26:29.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta slap some mayo on there, a little bit of

1:26:29.040 --> 1:26:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Swiss cheese, maybe some bacon. That's right. I like to

1:26:32.439 --> 1:26:38.400
<v Speaker 1>put bacon on top of my vegan technologically advanced not

1:26:38.680 --> 1:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>meat burger. But this is just crazy, folks. They're wrong.

1:26:43.000 --> 1:26:46.599
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee you they're wrong. Does anyone really think that

1:26:47.120 --> 1:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the massive food companies and all the different places that

1:26:50.760 --> 1:26:52.960
<v Speaker 1>are incentivized around the world to come up with new

1:26:53.040 --> 1:26:55.200
<v Speaker 1>ways to grow food, to create food. I mean, look,

1:26:55.240 --> 1:26:57.519
<v Speaker 1>you're talking to a guy who just had crickets in

1:26:57.640 --> 1:27:01.679
<v Speaker 1>his guacamoli, and I'm sure that if you looked at

1:27:01.479 --> 1:27:04.200
<v Speaker 1>at how easy and in some of you're like gross.

1:27:04.360 --> 1:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>But no, it's true. Crickets are delicious, delicious. You just

1:27:08.000 --> 1:27:10.799
<v Speaker 1>throw a little bit of I'll do them sweet or savory.

1:27:10.800 --> 1:27:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Producer Mark, I'll have I'll have hazelnut crickets, barbecue crickets,

1:27:16.439 --> 1:27:22.479
<v Speaker 1>creole crickets, you name it. Not crickets. Never happening, dude,

1:27:22.520 --> 1:27:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna bring some Producer Mark, We're gonna have to

1:27:25.000 --> 1:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>have some crickets that we bring in for you on

1:27:27.120 --> 1:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>the show. We're gonna hear the crunch. Zero chance really.

1:27:30.080 --> 1:27:32.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, if you guys, I think if we have

1:27:32.640 --> 1:27:35.400
<v Speaker 1>like a go fund me for crickets for Mark, maybe

1:27:35.400 --> 1:27:37.599
<v Speaker 1>we'll actually get up to do this. But I'm telling

1:27:37.600 --> 1:27:39.120
<v Speaker 1>you they're not that bad anyway. There's a lot of

1:27:39.120 --> 1:27:43.840
<v Speaker 1>ways to create this protein. I think there's different insect larva.

1:27:43.960 --> 1:27:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Now you guys are all turning. Everybody was with me

1:27:46.040 --> 1:27:48.479
<v Speaker 1>until I started talking about crickets and insect larva. Now

1:27:48.479 --> 1:27:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I sound like a total lunatic, which might might in

1:27:51.040 --> 1:27:53.519
<v Speaker 1>fact be the case. But this is what I mean,

1:27:53.680 --> 1:27:55.960
<v Speaker 1>these groups and seeing and of course seeing it. Why

1:27:55.960 --> 1:27:57.479
<v Speaker 1>does seeing in print this, let's just work through that

1:27:57.520 --> 1:27:59.040
<v Speaker 1>for a second, or why do they post it on

1:27:59.080 --> 1:28:03.400
<v Speaker 1>their website? Because this goes to the whole lib catastrophis

1:28:03.479 --> 1:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>global warming nonsense. They want to believe that we're all

1:28:07.040 --> 1:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>going to starve to death or the planet's going to

1:28:09.640 --> 1:28:15.280
<v Speaker 1>overheat unless government is able to intervene in everything, including

1:28:15.360 --> 1:28:20.799
<v Speaker 1>what you eat. Eat less meat because meat creates climate change.

1:28:20.840 --> 1:28:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Now it's eat less meat because they won't be able

1:28:23.080 --> 1:28:26.200
<v Speaker 1>to create enough meat. Well, which is it? Do we

1:28:26.240 --> 1:28:28.200
<v Speaker 1>not have enough meat? Or if we eat too much meat?

1:28:28.280 --> 1:28:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Is the world going to going to collapse? They see

1:28:30.400 --> 1:28:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it's all. It sounds stupid as I'm saying it, because

1:28:33.240 --> 1:28:36.559
<v Speaker 1>it is stupid. It makes no sense. But if you're

1:28:36.600 --> 1:28:38.760
<v Speaker 1>looking for sense with libs these days, you're going to

1:28:38.800 --> 1:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>be on shaky ground. Indeed, you're going to be in

1:28:42.439 --> 1:28:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a difficult position. So I'm going to keep eating meat,

1:28:46.800 --> 1:28:48.760
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. I'm never listening to this is as well.

1:28:50.240 --> 1:28:52.839
<v Speaker 1>Moral of the story. Keep eating meat. I'll be back teams.

1:28:52.840 --> 1:28:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes there is justice in this world, and sometimes things

1:28:57.360 --> 1:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>just get a little weird. What the heck are you

1:29:00.640 --> 1:29:03.559
<v Speaker 1>talking about? Buck? You might be thinking that, hopefully not

1:29:03.640 --> 1:29:05.200
<v Speaker 1>so much that you're like, all right, this is where

1:29:05.200 --> 1:29:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the podcast ends. But no, really. So I was on

1:29:07.880 --> 1:29:14.799
<v Speaker 1>the train today. Unlike all swamp dwelling Northeastern Ascella Corridor creatures,

1:29:14.840 --> 1:29:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I was on that train. I was trying to do

1:29:16.520 --> 1:29:19.679
<v Speaker 1>some work, but I stepped on the train. I'm somebody

1:29:19.720 --> 1:29:21.439
<v Speaker 1>who I'll give you some tips for the amtrack if

1:29:21.439 --> 1:29:23.439
<v Speaker 1>you want to do work and you're on the cheap train,

1:29:24.200 --> 1:29:26.200
<v Speaker 1>not the Ascella. I don't take the Assella because I'm

1:29:26.240 --> 1:29:28.240
<v Speaker 1>not fancy. I'm not boogie enough for the Assella, at

1:29:28.320 --> 1:29:30.800
<v Speaker 1>least not on my own dime. So I step on

1:29:30.840 --> 1:29:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the train and I'm saying to myself, all right, I'm

1:29:33.360 --> 1:29:35.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to the cafe car because the cafe cars

1:29:35.800 --> 1:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>have old school four person tables. So I go to

1:29:39.920 --> 1:29:41.920
<v Speaker 1>get to one of those tables and I see there's

1:29:42.040 --> 1:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a woman who is sitting with a bunch of bags

1:29:46.280 --> 1:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>next to her on one side, and I just go, okay, well,

1:29:48.000 --> 1:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna sit on the other. It's a very full train,

1:29:50.720 --> 1:29:53.599
<v Speaker 1>and I go to sit down and she goes, I'm sorry,

1:29:53.680 --> 1:29:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting there. And I look at her and I'm like,

1:29:57.920 --> 1:30:01.760
<v Speaker 1>aren't you sitting where you're sitting because this is the

1:30:01.800 --> 1:30:04.519
<v Speaker 1>other this is the other row, which has room for

1:30:04.560 --> 1:30:07.760
<v Speaker 1>at least two people that's across from this table. And

1:30:07.800 --> 1:30:11.240
<v Speaker 1>she goes, oh no, I mean my boyfriend is sitting there.

1:30:12.479 --> 1:30:14.400
<v Speaker 1>And I go, okay, all right, you know that's I

1:30:14.720 --> 1:30:16.880
<v Speaker 1>get it. Like if I were traveling with a significant other,

1:30:17.560 --> 1:30:19.479
<v Speaker 1>I would want to have them sitting next to me,

1:30:19.520 --> 1:30:21.599
<v Speaker 1>and I respect that. So I went and I found,

1:30:22.040 --> 1:30:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, a nearby table, same situation, sitting across from

1:30:26.120 --> 1:30:28.000
<v Speaker 1>from somebody. And let me return to that story in

1:30:28.040 --> 1:30:31.519
<v Speaker 1>a moment. But sure enough, we get thirty minutes into

1:30:31.520 --> 1:30:36.599
<v Speaker 1>this train ride. Thirty minutes into it, there's no boyfriend, Mark,

1:30:37.240 --> 1:30:39.719
<v Speaker 1>there's no boyfriend, there's there's nobody. There's no one sitting

1:30:39.720 --> 1:30:42.400
<v Speaker 1>across shocked and in fact, she puts like a like

1:30:42.479 --> 1:30:45.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of a bag, you know, over there and everything.

1:30:45.880 --> 1:30:50.479
<v Speaker 1>But at the Baltimore stop, we have a new arrival,

1:30:51.120 --> 1:30:54.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody who comes on that train, and I hear this exchange.

1:30:54.800 --> 1:30:58.080
<v Speaker 1>She walks over and she says to the seat denier.

1:30:58.400 --> 1:31:00.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll call her the seat denier because she did nyed

1:31:00.320 --> 1:31:03.680
<v Speaker 1>me the open seat. And for those you're saying, oh, buck, no,

1:31:03.880 --> 1:31:05.439
<v Speaker 1>she was. This was not like I was going to

1:31:05.560 --> 1:31:07.559
<v Speaker 1>hit on her, and she no, please, this is not

1:31:07.640 --> 1:31:10.000
<v Speaker 1>like that. I just wanted the empty seat. The seat

1:31:10.000 --> 1:31:13.479
<v Speaker 1>denier says, I guess no one's sitting there when she's

1:31:13.520 --> 1:31:15.599
<v Speaker 1>asked if someone can sit there, So she just straight

1:31:15.680 --> 1:31:18.559
<v Speaker 1>up lied to me. But then I looked with glee,

1:31:19.479 --> 1:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>with glee as the new arrival on that Northeast Regional

1:31:25.240 --> 1:31:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Amtrak train proceeded to pull out just big smelly tupperware

1:31:31.200 --> 1:31:34.559
<v Speaker 1>thing after smelly tupperware thing, and then put her phone

1:31:35.160 --> 1:31:38.120
<v Speaker 1>up to her ear and was a super loud cell

1:31:38.160 --> 1:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>phone talker. And I just looked back and I was like, justice,

1:31:42.320 --> 1:31:45.080
<v Speaker 1>That's what happens when you lie to well intentioned people.

1:31:45.439 --> 1:31:48.519
<v Speaker 1>You get the smelly food, loud talker sitting next to you.

1:31:48.720 --> 1:31:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh what was Buck like on the train? The way

1:31:50.920 --> 1:31:56.600
<v Speaker 1>he always is, earbuds in laptop, out working to save America.

1:31:56.800 --> 1:31:59.200
<v Speaker 1>So Mark, see there is justice in this world. Those

1:31:59.240 --> 1:32:01.320
<v Speaker 1>two people deserve of each other. I think they really

1:32:01.360 --> 1:32:03.720
<v Speaker 1>do deserve each other. And then the other part of

1:32:03.720 --> 1:32:05.559
<v Speaker 1>the story was that I'd believe it or not. This

1:32:05.600 --> 1:32:07.760
<v Speaker 1>was a one two punch. I sit down at the

1:32:07.760 --> 1:32:09.320
<v Speaker 1>other table, links to the guy, and this was a

1:32:09.360 --> 1:32:11.280
<v Speaker 1>really quick one. But this guy looks at me as

1:32:11.280 --> 1:32:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I sit down across from him, and he goes, he goes,

1:32:16.840 --> 1:32:19.559
<v Speaker 1>You're not a beautiful woman. I was hoping a beautiful

1:32:19.600 --> 1:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>woman would sit across from me. And I looked at

1:32:21.120 --> 1:32:24.120
<v Speaker 1>him and I said, yeah, sorry, I guess I'm a

1:32:24.120 --> 1:32:28.240
<v Speaker 1>little disappointing, and he goes, yes, disappointing. Indeed, I'm like,

1:32:28.400 --> 1:32:30.760
<v Speaker 1>what is this. It's like the high school cafeteria and

1:32:30.800 --> 1:32:34.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm not allowed to sit anywhere anyway. Oh the crazy

1:32:34.760 --> 1:32:37.880
<v Speaker 1>life and times of an Amtrak traveler. And I was

1:32:37.960 --> 1:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>near the cafe car too. Why can't the food on

1:32:40.000 --> 1:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Amtrak not be disgusting? That's a conversation for another day.

1:32:44.000 --> 1:32:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Rock and roll, fellow patriots, we made ours go up

1:32:55.760 --> 1:33:12.519
<v Speaker 1>to eleven. It's time for roll call. Alrighty Facebook dot

1:33:12.520 --> 1:33:18.200
<v Speaker 1>com slash Bucks Sexton for the roll call. Thank you

1:33:18.240 --> 1:33:20.559
<v Speaker 1>so much for hanging out with me here this week.

1:33:20.600 --> 1:33:23.759
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I feel like it's Friday, because well,

1:33:24.200 --> 1:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why I feel like it's Friday. It

1:33:26.360 --> 1:33:29.840
<v Speaker 1>turns out it's not. It's only Wednesday. All right, let's

1:33:29.880 --> 1:33:34.799
<v Speaker 1>get chew it, shall we. That's my way of stalling

1:33:34.800 --> 1:33:37.680
<v Speaker 1>while I actually pull up. I've got going on here.

1:33:37.680 --> 1:33:41.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, here we go, Kyle rights Buck. I thought

1:33:41.360 --> 1:33:43.760
<v Speaker 1>it was cute how all the Democrats coordinator to say

1:33:43.760 --> 1:33:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the line no one is above the law at the

1:33:45.960 --> 1:33:49.000
<v Speaker 1>end of their questioning of Muller. I wish someone would

1:33:49.000 --> 1:33:53.479
<v Speaker 1>have yelled except for bleach bit each time they said it.

1:33:53.880 --> 1:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry I wasted my time watching that. I bet

1:33:56.800 --> 1:33:59.479
<v Speaker 1>they're exactly zero people nationwide who change their mind one

1:33:59.560 --> 1:34:00.720
<v Speaker 1>or the other, which at the end of the day

1:34:00.760 --> 1:34:03.920
<v Speaker 1>probably works out in Trump's favor. Attention Democrats, this horse

1:34:04.040 --> 1:34:10.240
<v Speaker 1>has been beaten enough. Huh yeah, I think that that's

1:34:10.280 --> 1:34:13.320
<v Speaker 1>probably true, although, as I've been saying it is, it

1:34:13.400 --> 1:34:17.000
<v Speaker 1>was not a good day for the Mullers beyond reproach.

1:34:17.080 --> 1:34:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And he's like a superhero patriot of unbelievable proportions. Nah,

1:34:22.280 --> 1:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>really not so much, all right, Diane, Hey, buck about

1:34:29.000 --> 1:34:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the gray in your beard, you're too young for that.

1:34:31.800 --> 1:34:35.559
<v Speaker 1>I believe there's a product especially for beards by Grecian formula.

1:34:35.600 --> 1:34:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Give that a try. Once you hit fifty, you can

1:34:37.880 --> 1:34:40.160
<v Speaker 1>go natural. I think your beard is very nice, especially

1:34:40.160 --> 1:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>since you keep it trimmed. I don't know, Mark, am

1:34:43.320 --> 1:34:45.960
<v Speaker 1>i too. I'm almost forty. I think I'm allowed to

1:34:45.960 --> 1:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>have a couple of gray hairs almost at forty, right,

1:34:48.200 --> 1:34:51.000
<v Speaker 1>is that? I mean? It depends on genetics. Yeah, it's exactly,

1:34:51.080 --> 1:34:56.400
<v Speaker 1>thank you. Hey, depends on genetics. Is your dad graying?

1:34:57.200 --> 1:35:00.439
<v Speaker 1>My dad has like a silver mane of fantastic to care.

1:35:00.840 --> 1:35:03.400
<v Speaker 1>So it looks like that's what you'll get. Yeah, exactly. Well,

1:35:03.400 --> 1:35:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I think it goes by your grandfather. He had great

1:35:05.760 --> 1:35:07.599
<v Speaker 1>hair too, all right, so you know where you're getting.

1:35:07.800 --> 1:35:11.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a good call, all right, he thanks Diane. Doug

1:35:12.200 --> 1:35:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Mueller is using an interrogation tactic taught to active duties

1:35:16.720 --> 1:35:19.880
<v Speaker 1>during survival school. It's a way of delaying, stall and

1:35:19.920 --> 1:35:23.160
<v Speaker 1>confusing and distracting an interrogator. Watch how he does it

1:35:23.200 --> 1:35:26.559
<v Speaker 1>to Republicans more often than not, repeating a question, stumbling

1:35:26.680 --> 1:35:29.800
<v Speaker 1>over words, very clearly distracting. Also, he does what is

1:35:29.840 --> 1:35:33.519
<v Speaker 1>known as getting back to a safe place. Every question

1:35:33.560 --> 1:35:35.920
<v Speaker 1>in his mind should get him back to his report,

1:35:36.280 --> 1:35:43.000
<v Speaker 1>which is safety for him. It's quite a display back

1:35:43.000 --> 1:35:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to a safe place. Interesting, Doug, thanks for sharing some

1:35:47.840 --> 1:35:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of the interrogation tactics knowledge. I do appreciate it. Alrighty Rich,

1:35:55.600 --> 1:35:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't really see what he's writing here. J K Bok.

1:35:58.760 --> 1:36:02.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening to yesterday's podcast asked for and you're joining

1:36:02.280 --> 1:36:07.640
<v Speaker 1>me for a twelve mile ruck run this morning. Oh wow,

1:36:08.240 --> 1:36:12.519
<v Speaker 1>twelve mile ruck march this morning. That's that's still very far.

1:36:13.040 --> 1:36:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I just recently read nineteen eighty four. I had the

1:36:15.240 --> 1:36:17.720
<v Speaker 1>realization when you were talking about transgenderism that this is

1:36:17.760 --> 1:36:21.640
<v Speaker 1>actual two plus two equals five scenario. It was a

1:36:21.640 --> 1:36:23.840
<v Speaker 1>little scary to figure this out. Well, that's that's very

1:36:23.920 --> 1:36:28.040
<v Speaker 1>much correct. That is the case, and true power in

1:36:28.080 --> 1:36:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the hands of the state. Ultimate power in the hands

1:36:29.880 --> 1:36:32.519
<v Speaker 1>of the state is when they can force you to

1:36:32.680 --> 1:36:36.000
<v Speaker 1>deny objective reality, because once they can do that, then

1:36:36.040 --> 1:36:38.720
<v Speaker 1>they can make you do anything, and you don't have

1:36:38.760 --> 1:36:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the intellectual means to fight back, Right, you don't have

1:36:42.840 --> 1:36:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the ability. If they can make you believe things that

1:36:44.600 --> 1:36:46.400
<v Speaker 1>aren't true, or in fact, they can force you to

1:36:46.479 --> 1:36:49.519
<v Speaker 1>say things you know are not true, how are you

1:36:49.560 --> 1:36:54.600
<v Speaker 1>ever going to hold them accountable. You sacrifice whatever credibility,

1:36:54.640 --> 1:36:57.519
<v Speaker 1>whatever honesty you have in this process. Right, That's why

1:36:58.040 --> 1:37:00.439
<v Speaker 1>they want you to bend the knee is also at

1:37:00.439 --> 1:37:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the end of nineteen eighty four the most terrifying part

1:37:03.360 --> 1:37:06.120
<v Speaker 1>of that entire novel, which, as I've said, is one

1:37:06.160 --> 1:37:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of the certainly one of the ten greatest novels written

1:37:10.080 --> 1:37:12.880
<v Speaker 1>in the twentieth century. I think that's without question some

1:37:12.920 --> 1:37:16.120
<v Speaker 1>people would probably put in the top five. But the

1:37:16.280 --> 1:37:21.040
<v Speaker 1>part at the end where there's the denunciation of the

1:37:21.840 --> 1:37:26.280
<v Speaker 1>female that the main character isn't that the protagonist is

1:37:26.720 --> 1:37:30.160
<v Speaker 1>in love with. That's when he's truly broken, when he's saying,

1:37:30.160 --> 1:37:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's the one who did the bad thing.

1:37:32.040 --> 1:37:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Sorry if I spoil it for you, but you should

1:37:33.439 --> 1:37:36.360
<v Speaker 1>have already read nineteen eighty four, and if you haven't,

1:37:36.560 --> 1:37:38.720
<v Speaker 1>go back and read Animal farm again. You might have

1:37:38.760 --> 1:37:41.479
<v Speaker 1>been assigned it in school, but animal farm that you

1:37:41.600 --> 1:37:45.400
<v Speaker 1>read as an adult is a different experience, and animal

1:37:45.439 --> 1:37:48.160
<v Speaker 1>farm that you will read I'm sorry as a kid

1:37:48.280 --> 1:37:50.160
<v Speaker 1>is a different experience than you'll read it as an adult.

1:37:51.360 --> 1:37:57.280
<v Speaker 1>So we go. James from w G y up in

1:37:57.720 --> 1:38:00.000
<v Speaker 1>New York, love you, Buck, keep up the good word.

1:38:00.160 --> 1:38:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, James, and a shout out to everybody in

1:38:02.240 --> 1:38:05.759
<v Speaker 1>w G y Land. Here I am a fellow native

1:38:05.800 --> 1:38:10.320
<v Speaker 1>New Yorker addressing you across this great state. New York

1:38:10.400 --> 1:38:12.639
<v Speaker 1>is a fantastic state, and really it's got so much here,

1:38:12.920 --> 1:38:15.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, really, it's almost like we we got Long

1:38:15.560 --> 1:38:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Island to add it into the bargain, which is should

1:38:17.960 --> 1:38:20.559
<v Speaker 1>be its own state as well. But New York is

1:38:20.560 --> 1:38:24.519
<v Speaker 1>a is a great state. And people always said that

1:38:24.520 --> 1:38:26.519
<v Speaker 1>about all states, but it's not it's not always true.

1:38:26.960 --> 1:38:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to start trashing some states out there,

1:38:28.920 --> 1:38:30.280
<v Speaker 1>but there's some states that are a little you know,

1:38:30.280 --> 1:38:36.240
<v Speaker 1>a little May, a little May Brian. Here we go, Hey, Buck,

1:38:36.320 --> 1:38:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you're right about Corey Booker. He's a joker. Reminds me

1:38:39.760 --> 1:38:44.519
<v Speaker 1>of an eleventh grade over zealous kid constantly acting in

1:38:44.640 --> 1:38:47.960
<v Speaker 1>drama class. He has no concept of the real world.

1:38:48.000 --> 1:38:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Not there's anything wrong with that. Took a stab at

1:38:50.640 --> 1:38:53.679
<v Speaker 1>sharing your podcast on Instagram and Facebook to my mostly

1:38:54.439 --> 1:38:58.000
<v Speaker 1>liberal Massachusetts friend base. Guess what I got like one

1:38:58.120 --> 1:39:01.880
<v Speaker 1>like due to tech shadow blocking. As I believe most

1:39:01.920 --> 1:39:04.280
<v Speaker 1>of my good friends and family would like my post

1:39:04.320 --> 1:39:08.639
<v Speaker 1>if they actually saw the subject of tonight's podcast. You're

1:39:08.760 --> 1:39:11.559
<v Speaker 1>right on Chinese influence in Ecuador was down there not

1:39:11.680 --> 1:39:16.599
<v Speaker 1>long ago, training their Coastguard on systems in Guayaquil, which

1:39:16.640 --> 1:39:19.519
<v Speaker 1>is in Ecuador, which is where I was. China has

1:39:19.520 --> 1:39:22.640
<v Speaker 1>built all the commercial residential infrastructure down there, as the

1:39:22.680 --> 1:39:25.919
<v Speaker 1>cars are all Chinese, and they just built a massive

1:39:26.000 --> 1:39:30.400
<v Speaker 1>deep water port for shipping. Ironically, the Coastguard and ecuadors

1:39:30.400 --> 1:39:34.200
<v Speaker 1>in charge of defending the Galapagos the number one enemy

1:39:34.240 --> 1:39:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of the Galapagos the Chinese factory fish processing ships who

1:39:39.040 --> 1:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>are raping this sacred area. Double edged sword, my friend

1:39:43.560 --> 1:39:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Shield's high. Well, Brian, that's the when I talk about

1:39:45.920 --> 1:39:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Chinese mercantilism, and I have a discussion with all of

1:39:49.080 --> 1:39:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you here on air about what the Chinese are doing

1:39:51.720 --> 1:39:57.160
<v Speaker 1>around the world that's using their financial influence to buy

1:39:57.240 --> 1:40:01.920
<v Speaker 1>themselves essentially the ability to hillage the natural resources of

1:40:01.960 --> 1:40:06.599
<v Speaker 1>different countries, so they give them financial you know, they

1:40:06.680 --> 1:40:08.000
<v Speaker 1>all they have. You remember, they don't have to pay

1:40:08.000 --> 1:40:10.000
<v Speaker 1>off all the people of the country. They just have

1:40:10.040 --> 1:40:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to pay off the ruling party, the regime, the ruling class.

1:40:14.720 --> 1:40:17.880
<v Speaker 1>So they get the government fat and happy. They get

1:40:17.880 --> 1:40:21.000
<v Speaker 1>the developers, the you know, the top echelon, and these

1:40:21.000 --> 1:40:24.120
<v Speaker 1>third world countries feel like, oh, the Chinese are, you know,

1:40:24.400 --> 1:40:27.320
<v Speaker 1>fattening our bank accounts, and then they will just come

1:40:27.360 --> 1:40:31.479
<v Speaker 1>in and take whatever they want, you know, strip mining

1:40:31.600 --> 1:40:33.640
<v Speaker 1>and you name it. However they want to do it,

1:40:33.680 --> 1:40:35.439
<v Speaker 1>that's what they're going to do. And that's the Chinese

1:40:36.080 --> 1:40:37.840
<v Speaker 1>model all over the world. They do not care. And

1:40:37.840 --> 1:40:42.639
<v Speaker 1>this is also why ultimately the debate over climate change

1:40:42.680 --> 1:40:47.320
<v Speaker 1>and environmentalism in this country is an exercise in futility.

1:40:47.320 --> 1:40:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Even if the left forget about whether the left is

1:40:49.680 --> 1:40:52.000
<v Speaker 1>correct in the science or not, which I think they

1:40:52.000 --> 1:40:55.040
<v Speaker 1>are not correct, But it's an exercise in futility because

1:40:55.080 --> 1:40:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you're never going to get the Indians and the Chinese

1:40:57.560 --> 1:40:59.519
<v Speaker 1>to do what you want them to do, and they're

1:40:59.520 --> 1:41:04.360
<v Speaker 1>going to be billions going forward, billions of Indians and Chinese.

1:41:04.479 --> 1:41:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Just take those two countries. Never mind all the other

1:41:06.960 --> 1:41:10.360
<v Speaker 1>countries of the developing world that are absolutely not going

1:41:10.400 --> 1:41:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to slow down their growth and use far more expensive,

1:41:15.600 --> 1:41:19.960
<v Speaker 1>far less efficient technology. It's just not going to happen.

1:41:20.040 --> 1:41:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they could pretend, but alrighty, let's see here

1:41:24.240 --> 1:41:27.559
<v Speaker 1>in right, Hey, Buck, just trying to figure out the

1:41:27.560 --> 1:41:30.400
<v Speaker 1>best way to communicate with you. Hope you got this well, Ian,

1:41:31.160 --> 1:41:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I did got this so and you found out a

1:41:33.720 --> 1:41:36.439
<v Speaker 1>way to communicate with me. It's pretty easy. You can.

1:41:36.560 --> 1:41:42.040
<v Speaker 1>You can always send me messages via Facebook. And we're

1:41:42.080 --> 1:41:44.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm not even gonna say the email thing anymore

1:41:44.479 --> 1:41:47.160
<v Speaker 1>because we never It's like the homework that I forget

1:41:47.200 --> 1:41:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to do every night for a year. It's gonna get done,

1:41:49.240 --> 1:41:50.839
<v Speaker 1>but I'm just not gonna say I'm gonna do it anymore.

1:41:52.960 --> 1:41:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Tia Rights, Hey Buck, I guess you're frustrated with the

1:41:55.240 --> 1:41:57.320
<v Speaker 1>whole border thing. I get it, many of us are.

1:41:57.680 --> 1:41:59.559
<v Speaker 1>But I've yet to hear you encourage your listeners to

1:41:59.600 --> 1:42:02.200
<v Speaker 1>write to the representatives, let them know we expect them

1:42:02.240 --> 1:42:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to support Trump. Well, t I, first of all, I've

1:42:08.000 --> 1:42:10.479
<v Speaker 1>seen nothing. There's nothing that I would disagree with there.

1:42:10.600 --> 1:42:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I certainly think that people should, especially if because most

1:42:14.040 --> 1:42:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Republican members of Congress are on board with Trump. I mean,

1:42:17.600 --> 1:42:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. There's no

1:42:20.240 --> 1:42:24.479
<v Speaker 1>question about that. So if you have a representative who

1:42:24.600 --> 1:42:32.799
<v Speaker 1>is not necessarily on board with all things Trump, then

1:42:32.840 --> 1:42:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I would say, you know, worth writing a letter perhaps

1:42:38.240 --> 1:42:40.439
<v Speaker 1>and trying to say, hey, can you back to the the present.

1:42:40.520 --> 1:42:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Remember the problem right now is the Democrats have a

1:42:42.120 --> 1:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>majority in the House. So that's not gonna it's not

1:42:46.040 --> 1:42:48.559
<v Speaker 1>going to change anything. There's there's not going to be

1:42:48.600 --> 1:42:51.360
<v Speaker 1>any real movement on boarder issues. This is why there

1:42:51.400 --> 1:42:55.839
<v Speaker 1>was a lot. Look, Trump outsource some of his domestic policy. Folks,

1:42:56.160 --> 1:42:57.960
<v Speaker 1>we live in the real world. We are not libs.

1:42:58.520 --> 1:43:00.400
<v Speaker 1>We live in the real world. We are not liberals.

1:43:01.800 --> 1:43:07.479
<v Speaker 1>Trump outsourced some of his domestic policy agenda to Paul

1:43:07.600 --> 1:43:13.439
<v Speaker 1>Ryan in the House, which was a really, really bad idea.

1:43:13.600 --> 1:43:17.519
<v Speaker 1>This is what happened. So the two years where they

1:43:17.520 --> 1:43:20.920
<v Speaker 1>could have gotten a lot done on the domestic policy front,

1:43:21.040 --> 1:43:25.040
<v Speaker 1>especially an immigration, were somewhat wasted because Trump. Now you

1:43:25.040 --> 1:43:27.599
<v Speaker 1>could say that Trump expected that Paul Ryan would, as

1:43:27.640 --> 1:43:32.160
<v Speaker 1>a career legislator, would know how to execute but he didn't.

1:43:32.880 --> 1:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>He didn't, And the buck stops with Trump. We've got

1:43:37.080 --> 1:43:38.599
<v Speaker 1>to figure out a way to work that into things.

1:43:38.600 --> 1:43:42.759
<v Speaker 1>The buck stops with Trump, although that doesn't really express

1:43:42.800 --> 1:43:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the sentiment that I want. Michelle right, it's Buck, great

1:43:48.000 --> 1:43:49.479
<v Speaker 1>to see you back. I hear a lot of talk

1:43:49.520 --> 1:43:52.080
<v Speaker 1>about things agarding Trump, but the thing that concerns me

1:43:52.120 --> 1:43:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the most is the information that is popping up concerning

1:43:55.240 --> 1:43:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the long history between Trump and Epstein. Now do not

1:43:58.160 --> 1:44:00.519
<v Speaker 1>believe Trump has ever been involved with under a girls

1:44:00.680 --> 1:44:03.559
<v Speaker 1>or has sexually assaulted anyone. I'm a strong supporter of

1:44:03.600 --> 1:44:07.280
<v Speaker 1>his since he came forward questioning Obama's qualifications for being president.

1:44:07.560 --> 1:44:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Obama had begun dismantling the country the second he walked

1:44:10.000 --> 1:44:11.920
<v Speaker 1>in the Oval office. What is true and what is not?

1:44:12.040 --> 1:44:15.000
<v Speaker 1>The stories are coming up and might be enough true

1:44:15.040 --> 1:44:17.360
<v Speaker 1>or not to take him down. What, as an expert

1:44:17.360 --> 1:44:19.880
<v Speaker 1>in analysis, do you think will happen? Many thanks and

1:44:20.000 --> 1:44:23.360
<v Speaker 1>happy you've come back. Shield's Eye Michelle, Well, Michelle, thank

1:44:23.400 --> 1:44:26.639
<v Speaker 1>you for the kind words. I can't tell you exactly

1:44:26.680 --> 1:44:29.680
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen with Epstein, although I am a

1:44:29.800 --> 1:44:33.439
<v Speaker 1>skeptic that Epstein will be punished the way that he

1:44:33.520 --> 1:44:36.880
<v Speaker 1>should for what he has done. Andy mccarthury wrote a

1:44:37.000 --> 1:44:39.880
<v Speaker 1>very compelling piece about the double jeopardy protections that Epstein

1:44:39.960 --> 1:44:45.880
<v Speaker 1>probably has based on the agreement, the initial agreement that Acosta,

1:44:45.920 --> 1:44:48.559
<v Speaker 1>who did step down and should have stepped down, gave him.

1:44:49.880 --> 1:44:51.639
<v Speaker 1>I think there are a lot of very powerful people

1:44:51.640 --> 1:44:53.439
<v Speaker 1>that want the Epstein thing to go away on both

1:44:53.479 --> 1:44:56.479
<v Speaker 1>sides of the aisle that said is there. Do I

1:44:56.520 --> 1:44:58.680
<v Speaker 1>ever have a moment of doubt? Do I ever think

1:44:58.720 --> 1:45:03.640
<v Speaker 1>to myself, Donald Trump knew that Epstein had all these

1:45:03.760 --> 1:45:06.600
<v Speaker 1>underage girls around him, or even worse, Donald Trump was

1:45:06.640 --> 1:45:09.120
<v Speaker 1>in any way involved with that. I have never had

1:45:09.160 --> 1:45:11.760
<v Speaker 1>a moment of doubt about this present when it comes

1:45:11.760 --> 1:45:14.479
<v Speaker 1>to any of that, And and that's just from my

1:45:14.560 --> 1:45:16.519
<v Speaker 1>gut feeling. That's what, in my heart of hearts, how

1:45:16.520 --> 1:45:19.599
<v Speaker 1>I feel about this. There's also no evidence to suggest

1:45:19.640 --> 1:45:22.000
<v Speaker 1>that he knew about that. Trump knew about any of

1:45:22.000 --> 1:45:26.120
<v Speaker 1>this or was involved in any of this. And in fact,

1:45:26.120 --> 1:45:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump is the only person we've heard about, the only

1:45:28.439 --> 1:45:34.200
<v Speaker 1>prominent individual who was willing to do something to take

1:45:34.280 --> 1:45:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Epstein to task by kicking him out of marl Lago

1:45:36.640 --> 1:45:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and essentially calling him a dirt bag that's going to

1:45:40.280 --> 1:45:43.240
<v Speaker 1>be at for today. Team always a privilege and a pleasure.

1:45:43.600 --> 1:45:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm up here in NYC. I'll be up here for

1:45:45.960 --> 1:45:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the week. I will talk to you
